After dealing with those wolves, the grilled fish was also stained with mud, and they couldn't eat it, but fortunately, they had prepared dry food when they went out, and they could use it for a meal. At night, there was no other mess, and the night passed peacefully.

The injury on Lin An's foot was applied with herbs overnight, and the swelling had subsided and began to improve, except for some limping, there was no major problem in walking. The old fox originally planned to carry her on her back, but Lin An refused to leave.

It's not a big deal, it's always something to carry on your back, or walk comfortably by yourself.

Although the progress of walking in this way was a little slower, since the defeat of the wolves, their luck seemed to have improved all of a sudden, and they did not encounter any other dangers. Turning a bend in the mountain road along the waterway, a huge river appeared in front of them.

Lin An's originally tired expression suddenly eased back, and there was only joy left on his face, "Old fox, we found it!" It's a big river! ”

Their speculation was not wrong at all, the water in the mountains was still flowing down in such a dry weather, and its source must be a large river. Now looking at the one in front of me, it is so wide that I can't see the front and back. Not to mention the water in their village, the fields of the entire Ping County may be able to feed themselves.

"You said that sometimes the world is really wasteful, and several villages on the other side of the water town are fighting for a small river, and there is such a big river here, but there are few people."

Xiao Muyan also nodded, "We walked all the way along the stream, and we crossed two mountains, but the distance should not be far, take a shortcut from the side to go over, this matter of diverting water should be able to be done." ”

"That's great, if you can divert the water from this big river, you don't have to compete with Yujia Village every day for water. Let's go back and bring them the good news. ”

"Your feet are fine." The mountain road that came all the way has not been easy to walk, although Xiao Muyan is also happy for the little fox in his heart, but for him, this water is not as important as her feet.

"It's fine." Lin An waved his hand, "I'm a typical scar and forget the pain, this injury is already fine, go back quickly." ”

On the way back, they deliberately chose another road, and by the way, they surveyed the terrain to find a shortcut that was the most convenient and easiest to repair the water barrier, and memorized the map all the way, which actually took a day less than when they came.

They left for five days, and when they came back, Lin An felt that his body was about to become a salted fish, and so was the old fox, full of wolf meat and wolf blood.

Probably Baozi told her about going to find a water source and told the fat dun mother, Lin An and Xiao Muyan just arrived at the door of the house, and saw the figure of the fat dun mother on the far road.

Xiao Muyan walked into the courtyard quickly, "You go and bring this news to them first, I'll go into the house and just change my clothes." ”

"Okay." Lin An nodded, lest the fat lady kiss them and they had to come in, and they didn't have time to change their clothes, so he walked towards the trail and met them.

"Ah, Mrs. Lin, are you back?!" The fat dun mother shouted and called several neighbors out of the house, and Baozi also ran over in a hurry, "Are you back?" ”

"How did you get this body, it's dirty like this, are you okay?"

The fat lady looked her up and down, and she couldn't help but cover her nose.

"There was a little problem, but it wasn't a big deal, what about the village chief? Is he in the village or not? ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Village Chief Li originally planned to come this way, but it was a coincidence, and he happened to hear Lin Niangzi asking him.

Lin An looked at Baozi helplessly, it seems that the whole village knows about the matter of finding a water source, and he really doesn't lose his name for this little chatter.

"The little lady is so hard." Village Chief Li came to him, looking at Lin An's embarrassed appearance, he felt indescribably guilty, "I really didn't expect you to come up with such a method, you should have told me a long time ago, so that I could find a few strong men to go with you, how can you let a woman take such a big risk?" If something happens, how can I explain it to Wuyu? ”

"The village chief has been thinking about it a lot, it's not a big deal, and I don't know if the method I suddenly came up with will work, so I can only try it myself, so as not to make everyone's efforts in vain." Of course, Lin An couldn't say it truthfully, "Village Chief, what's the situation in the official mansion?" ”

"It works, the method that the little lady taught me really works. As soon as the joint letter of several villages was handed over, coupled with Fang Xiucai's paper, the government immediately sent someone to Yujia Village, and after two days of negotiations, the earthen dam at the upstream end was finally demolished a little and some water was put down, but they were still in a stalemate, and the group of bandits refused to dismantle them all, and they bit to death and said that the people upstream of them had more land and used more water, and said that the water flowed through their village first, so they naturally had to use it first. This nonsense is entangled, and the government has no problem, so I really don't know if the earthen dam can be demolished. ”

Sure enough, it was similar to what Lin An thought, with the government coming forward, the Yujia village would give way no matter what they said, but it was naturally impossible for them to let all the water out. Fortunately, I have thought of another way, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to wait for the government to solve it now.

"Village chief, let's leave all the affairs of this earthen dam to the government, and the people of the village don't have to go to Yujia Village anymore, lest those bandits get angry and do everything."

"It's a good idea, we don't care about Yujia Village, do you really think that the government can let them obediently tear down the earthen dam, and when the time comes, what if we don't force it, and build the earthen dam on it, is it possible that there will be no water?"

Lin An was only halfway through her words, and Luo Cui and Zheng Han'er on the side also came over when they heard the sound and interrupted her with a hum.

I hadn't heard of any dealings between the two of them before, but it had only been a few days, but the smell was so good that none of the words that came out were good.

"It's not that we don't care about it." Lin An didn't bother to deal with the two of them, just looked at the village chief on the side, "The government has already put pressure on the joint letter and the pleadings, and now the Yujia village has given way, if we are still aggressive, the government must think that we will not be so concerned if we have to ignore people." It is better to propose our own solution to them at this time, let the government approve it, and then send some miscellaneous soldiers to help us build the waterway together, so that they will not always have to worry about the Yu family's side, and can quell the civil strife in several villages, I believe they will definitely agree. ”

"Waterways?"

"Mrs. Lin has found a water source?"

When Lin An's words came out, everyone understood what she meant.

"Well, as expected, after these two mountains, there is a huge river over there, and now in this great dry weather, the river over there is still very abundant, enough to feed several villages downstream. I also found the best way to build a waterway, and I can draw a map when I go back, and as long as the government allows, when the time comes, several of our villages will work together to repair the waterway, and use water wheels and waterways to bring the water from there, not only this time, but I don't think I will have to worry about this water source in the future. ”

"Oops! That's great. The village chief couldn't help but clapped his hands, "I didn't expect that there would be such a big river so close, it's really a waste." It's also thanks to the little lady who took such a risk to run away, otherwise a few of us would have known to be in a hurry here, and this matter is really thanks to you. ”

"Yes, yes, Lin Niangzi is really powerful, she solved the problem at once, with this water source, the upstream and downstream villages don't have to fight for a river, and the government will definitely agree."

"God bless, God bless, we finally don't have to worry about running out of water."

"Sister of the Zheng family, look, you really wronged Mrs. Lin at the beginning, she was all about the village, didn't you still say that she couldn't solve this matter, but now she has thought of a way from the source." A few people said, Li Erhu couldn't help but open his mouth to Zheng Han'er, a few days ago when he was on the riverside, he counted the Zheng family's sisters who were the most unkind to Lin Niangzi.

"I ......"

Lin An was looking forward to it, and the unwilling words in Zheng Han'er's heart, where could he still say it, and simply left the crowd with a hand.

Lin An's eyes were not on her, and he still opened his mouth, "Village Chief, since this is the case, then we will deal with this matter as soon as possible." The government still has to trouble you to go on a trip, and there are other villages downstream, this waterway is still some distance, if it is repaired, we are afraid that the manpower in our village will not be enough. This water source is abundant, and other villages can use it together. When the time comes, it will be arranged, the stronger ones will dig roads and repair the road, and the more skillful ones will follow Uncle Zhang to make a waterwheel, with so many people, I believe it will not be long before the water source can be brought over. ”

"Good, good!" Village Chief Li didn't know what to say except for saying this word now.

It's really good to have a villager like Lin Niangzi, not only can things be solved for him, but even this method is a clear plan, you don't have to think about anything, you just need to do it. "I'll arrange it, no matter whether this thing works out or not, Lin Niangzi is a great hero in our village, I, as the village head, thank you for the big guy."

"The village chief is polite, we are from a village, this is what I should do. Then I'll go back with Wuyu first, you see my body, I have to hurry up and clean up. ”

Lin An said, shook his head and didn't stay long, took the bun and said goodbye to everyone and walked towards his house.

Nowadays, she doesn't have the desire to be a big hero, she just wants to live a comfortable life in her farmhouse, so whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, she will not let them interfere with her life.
