Northwest nine
"Childe, you asked the little ones to find the master who drilled the well." Just as the three of them walked to the inn where they were temporarily staying, a small catcher who was guarding the door quickly greeted him and said.
Behind Xiao Catcher stood an old man who looked to be quite old.
When they came, the two also looked through some of Qingshui's county records, and knew that although there was a shortage of water in this place, there were also many wells that could produce water, and if nothing else, there should be a dark river near Qingshui. Now there are still two or three wells with water in the city, and the daily water supply of the people in the city is not a problem for the time being, the problem is the irrigation water for those crops, if we can find the dark river and dig a few wells, we should be able to solve some problems more or less, and it is impossible for this land in the northwest to never rain.
So as soon as the county order was resolved, Gu Ange instructed those who caught the catch to find the master who could dig wells, preferably the kind that could find water veins.
"Hmm." Gu Ange nodded, looked at the old man with his head down, and asked, "What is the name of the master?" ”
Although the old man looked not young, his body was extremely healthy, and he acted vigorously, and said with a hearty smile: "The little old man's surname is Jiang, and the sons can call me Lao Jiangtou." ”
"Master Jiang." Gu Ange nodded politely, "Does Master Jiang know what we're teaching you to come here for?" ”
Old Jiang nodded, but his brows furrowed, and he sighed, "I know, I know, but I ask the young man to say bluntly, even if this well is hit, it is estimated that there will be no water." ”
Gu Ange raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Lao Jiang Tou smiled helplessly, "When Tian'er just drought, Xiao Lao'er had already taken the young offspring in the village to try, but I found several places that looked good, and I didn't find any water after digging more than a dozen wells, so fortunately, there was still a river to support, otherwise this day would have been unbearable, but now the river is almost finished." ”
"Hmm... Gu Ange groaned slightly, and then continued to speak: "I remember that according to the records in the Qingshui County Chronicles, there should be a dark river near Qingshui, if you can find this dark river, isn't it?" ”
Old Jiang Tou raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, "If this dark river really exists as Childe said, there will definitely be no problem." ”
Gu Ange nodded, "Very good, is Master Jiang literate?" Old Ginger nodded.
"Then I'll wait and send Qing Shui's county chronicle to Master Jiang's hands, Master, you can study and see if you can find it." If we can't find it, we'll have to try our luck. Gu Ange sighed, planning to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, anyway, there is no other way now.
"Yes." Old Jiang Tou also knew this truth, and he didn't say anything, so he responded directly.
So Gu Ange instructed Na Yu to take Lao Jiang Tou to get the Qingshui County Chronicles, and told him that he would live in the government office in the past two days, and if he didn't find the water vein after two days, he wouldn't continue to look for it, and directly started digging, and also transferred a part of the catch to him, so that he could let these people do it if he needed anything.
After the old ginger and the little catcher were about to leave, a few people ate something casually in the inn and went back to their rooms to rest.
Now that the warehouse has opened to release grain, and some of the stolen grain has been exchanged for the people, many rice shops have also reopened, because Mo Wuxian and Gu Ange are there, and they dare not raise the price of rice, the inn is still profitable, and the price of rice has dropped, and naturally they have begun to prepare food for the guests of the inn.
Two days passed quickly, and there was not the slightest movement on the old ginger's side, and just when Gu Ange was about to give up, a small catch brought good news.
Because during this period, Mo Wuxian didn't know who he went, so he only explained that he was going out for a few days, leaving some secret guards for Gu Ange and leaving in a hurry, so only Gu Ange was left here.
Originally, some of the old departments of the Qingshui County Order saw that Mo Wuxian was gone, and only Gu Ange, a little kid who was not yet the age of a weak crown, united to make a rebellion, but after Gu Ange sprinkled poison over and killed a few of them, they were all honest and obediently did what she ordered.
"Gu Gongzi, Master Jiang has already brought people over, let his subordinates inform Gongzi." Xiao Yu looked at Gu Ange's eyes with a little fear.
Originally, they all thought that the masked eyes were already very cruel to hang the county commander to the city wall, but they didn't want to turn out that this inconspicuous and noble young man was the more murderous one, no matter what he did, he didn't get a life, but this one was different, and he directly took the lives of several people as soon as he made a move, which was really terrifying.
However, this is actually a misunderstanding of this little catcher, Mo Wuxian didn't ask for anyone's life, in fact, he simply felt that death was the easiest thing, and he would rather let him live than die.
I don't know if I know if I can know the truth, this little catcher will feel that Gu Ange is more murderous than Mo Wuxian.
"Take me there." Gu Ange stood up and brushed his clothes, and said lightly.
"Yes." Xiao Zhukuai didn't dare to say a superfluous word in front of Gu Ange, and after answering a yes, he kept leading the way in front with his head down, as if he was afraid that if he didn't do well, the people behind him would also reward him with a handful of poison.
Looking at the appearance of this little catcher and shrinking, Gu Ange was a little funny, in fact, she was not a person who loved to kill, and that move was just Liwei, Gu Ange knew in his heart that if he didn't leave a profound lesson to these people, these people would definitely feel that they were easy to bully because of their young age, and then provoke again and again, although there was no threat, but it was very annoying, so they simply came to a hundred and fell quietly.
Soon, Gu Ange went out of the city under the leadership of Xiao Yukuai, and it took a lot of turning and turning to find the old ginger who was frowning and looking around with the drawings, and the old ginger was accompanied by several young and strong young men, and these young men had a lot of tools to use to dig wells in their hands.
"Gu Gongzi." Seeing Gu Ange coming, a group of people hurriedly saluted.
After Gu Ange waved his hand to show that he didn't need to be polite, he walked to the side of the old Jiang Tou and asked, "Are you sure it's here?" "Old
Jiang Tou stroked his gray beard and nodded, "Little Lao'er compared the county chronicles with the notes left by the ancestors, and flipped through the map, it should be this place." Childe, you see, although the plants here are a little wilted, if you look closely, they are more vibrant than those in other places. ”
Listening to the old ginger's words, Gu Ange nodded, "Then let's start digging." ”
After Gu Ange's order, a group of people immediately started working cleanly.
Facts have proved that the old ginger head did not find the wrong place, although at the beginning the soil was still dry like sand, but after digging about two or three feet, it began to moisten, everyone saw the moist soil, as if they saw hope, more energetic, and after a while, the well really pumped water.
When they saw the clear well water, everyone present hugged each other excitedly, and they cried with joy, throwing all the tools in their hands and cheering non-stop.
Looking at the groundwater that slowly filled the entire well, Gu Ange's face also had a little smile on his face, finally, it was okay. Take a look at the latest chapter of "National Color Rippling Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
