Chapter 59: Bitterness Comes Sweetly
Abstract: Finally out of the water, the villagers have come to their bitter end.
Zhang Jian was young and enthusiastic, and was touched by the righteousness of these people, and promised to continue to dig the well, and several other people, in the end, were also persuaded one by one, after that, the village chief immediately notified the news, and solemnly announced to the villagers that this well has the blessing and blessing of the gods, as long as you keep digging unremittingly, when the time comes, it will definitely be able to produce water, so that everyone should not be wild, to keep calm. In the end, with the help of the gods, the village chief finally calmed down the situation for the time being.
People stopped making trouble for the time being, but the village's reserve water could not be sustained for a long time, and verbal persuasion was not a long-term solution, so it was necessary to speed up the progress of drilling wells. And now, the dissolution of the team that fetched water and the team that sought water also had an advantage, that is, there was a large amount of labor left free, and now these people had nothing to do, so most of these people automatically came to the temple to help dig wells.
Of course, these people who come to help don't really make much of a difference, but they are also an encouragement.
Now, the whole village is united, just waiting for water to come out of the well. However, although there are a lot of people who come to help, the physical fitness of these people does not allow them to go down to the deep well, because the air there is very thin, and ordinary people will soon suffocate after going down, so the main work is still completed by the previous nine people, and these people in the later can only fight.
However, there are many people and great strength, after these people came, to a certain extent, it did make Zhang Jian's previous work a lot easier, and now, they don't have to do any chores, they only need to take turns digging wells at the bottom of the well.
"Are you tired? How's the well going today, do you think you can get water? On this day, after Zhang Jian returned home, Zhang's mother asked, in the past two days, Zhang Jian and the previous people have been working day and night, they have taken turns to rest with each other, and the work of digging wells is almost 24 hours a day.
"I'm not so tired, but I can't stand the "expectant" look in the eyes of those who come to help! Zhang Jian said in a low voice, his spirit was not very good.
"Hey! At this special time, everyone has no choice, our family is because of your second sister, otherwise, there is no water to drink at home, and the family can only be thirsty, you will know the taste. Zhang's mother explained on the side.
"Of course I know that the lack of water is a very uncomfortable thing, but they look at us like this every day, and every time there is no water, they are disappointed and sighing over there, which puts a lot of pressure on us people! It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Speaking of these things, Zhang Jian's mood seemed very bad, and his tone couldn't help but become a few decibels higher.
"Everyone is just sighing, and there is nothing else, just bear with it." Mother Zhang continued to explain.
"Of course I understand what you say! However, you don't know, on my way back now, some people look at me very wrongly, as if the lack of water is all the fault of those of us who dig wells! Could it be that we are now digging wells 24 hours a day, paying so much labor, and the whole is tired and tired, and we have to bear the responsibility of water? Speaking of this, Zhang Jian was very annoyed, he found that the people in the village had begun to change recently.
At the beginning, looking at his eyes was still very ordinary full of expectation, and later, without coming out of the water, he began to sigh beside him, until now, the eyes of these people looking at them have begun to change, and they have become very strange, and some people even began to complain, resentment and other emotions, these people vented their negative emotions to Zhang Jian and them, this practice, Zhang Jian was very annoyed. The passion and enthusiasm when I first started digging the well, that glorious feeling, now I don't know where to fly.
"Did anyone say anything resentful about you?" Hearing Zhang Jian say this, Zhang's mother also frowned, her son has been working so hard these days, she has seen it in her eyes, the weather is so hot, making his whole person black and thin, so that she, a mother, is very distressed, if someone is still dissatisfied with her son, she will not be willing.
The current mother Zhang is no longer the mother of the past, sympathy or something, has been almost worn out by reality, especially after losing her brother's whereabouts not long ago, Zhang's mother looks more and more seriously at her current relatives, and her own family itself is not short of water, so if her son is really hurt by anything, she will not care about others, and will decisively let her son end his current work.
"Why, you can't dig up water, are the people in the village starting to blame you?" At this time, Zhang Yu, who had just come down from upstairs, heard Zhang Jian's words and asked with a frown.
"Although everyone didn't say it, they always looked at me strangely now, and although they didn't say it verbally, I knew that was what they meant in their hearts!" Zhang Jian replied with some interest.
"I also feel that the mood of the people in the village has become very unstable recently, and there is a kind of anxiety in the whole village, so you better be careful and don't linger outside when you finish your work, and come back immediately. Although everyone's mood is quite calm now, this calm is based on the fact that water will definitely come out of this well, and if there is no water in the well, then everything that is calm and peaceful will be floating clouds. Zhang Yu explained.
"There is no water, and I know that everyone is in a hurry, but isn't it all for them that I have worked so hard to dig wells? I'm doing a good deed, but ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Jian's tone was very resentful, and there were some doubts.
"Who let you do things always so impulsively, there was no one of the people who dug the well before, you have to join in the fun. Now I'm complaining here, since I've done it, let's keep going, it's just that the water table is a little deeper, and as long as you dig hard, the water will always come out. It's just that time can't be guaranteed, Zhang Yu didn't say this sentence, because she knew that the village really couldn't afford to wait now.
"As long as the well is deep, I also believe that water will come out, but as the depth of the well continues to extend downward, now after going down the well, we can't breathe at all, although our people are stronger than ordinary people, but not strong enough not to breathe, for a long time, I can't stand it at all, so the progress of the work can not be accelerated at all." Speaking of these, Zhang Jian was also very helpless.
"It's okay, if the progress is not fast, it will not be fast, let's just take our time." Hearing Zhang Jian's words, Zhang's mother hurriedly said beside her, she didn't want her son to have any accidents when he was digging the well.
"Don't care about those people, you just do what our mother says, take your time, there's no way to do it, if those people complain, you let them go down and dig and see what they can do, it's really a guy who doesn't know what to do." Zhang Yu has been in a very bad mood recently because of Long Xiang's matter, and now after hearing about Zhang Jian's matter, he can't help but become very irritable.
"I see." After seeing what his mother and sister were like now, Zhang Jian sighed in his heart and stopped talking.
Although Zhang Jian did not agree with his sister and mother's words, however, after venting his dissatisfaction, his mentality slowly began to flatten out, and no matter how strange his eyes were, after seeing more, he also had resistance, and slowly his face became thicker and thicker.
On this day, the floating mood of the villagers reached the highest point, because the remaining water in the village has been used up by now, and if the well cannot produce water, what awaits them may be the fate of dying of thirst. Under the shadow of the horror of death, the restlessness in people's hearts finally reached its highest point.
However, fortunately, perhaps it was really the blessing of the gods, and finally the end of the pole came, and on this day, the water finally came out of the well that people had been waiting for for a long time. After hearing the news, the whole village couldn't help but start to rejoice.
