Chapter 214: Don't forget to find the water man
"Don't fill the pit, let's build a pipe."
Li Hongmei inhaled a cool breath deeply and spit out an astonishing word.
"Ah, take the pipe? How to do it? ”
Someone hurriedly asked, Li Hongmei smiled and pointed to a place behind her.
"Don't you see a lot of bamboo over there? Isn't it a ready-made pipe when we cut down the bamboo, open up the bamboo inside, and then connect it one by one? ”
When she came, she found a large bamboo forest on the road, and Li Hongmei was very happy at that time. hugged the second girl and kissed and jumped. Everyone thought she was crazy, but now it seems that they have found something useful.
"Bamboo?"
Someone asked curiously.
"Ahem, that's right, it's bamboo, as for the specific method, you can just listen to my command when the time comes. Alright, let's almost rest, let's go cut bamboo. The matter of water diversion should be sooner rather than later. ”
A few men who came together were also obedient, and immediately the guys and went back.
The second girl also turned around to carry the bamboo, and Li Hongmei and a few people with weak physical strength found a cave near the water source, and began to build some simple stone stoves and boil some hot water for everyone to drink.
Of course, everyone didn't bring a stove, but they could also pick up some big stones that had been chiseled through the water to use as a stove.
Li Hongmei also found a few stone slabs and used them to make slate grilled vegetables and meat.
On the way to find the water source, I also picked some spices and something. At this time, the meat is stewed in a stone pot mixed with spices.
"The Dashan family is going to live, we came all the way, just beat some wild guys indiscriminately, and I was stunned by the fragrance of the Dashan family, I just smelled it and had a big appetite."
The eldest Uncle Hu, who came with him, breathed in the aroma and praised at this time.
Li Hongmei happily plucked the soup in the pot with a stick.
"This is how we have been climbing in the mountains for a few days, nibbling on some dry food every day, and we don't have a mouthful of hot water. Suddenly, when I smell the aroma of this stew, of course I feel fragrant. If you eat it every day, you still don't feel like it's tasteful. ”
Everyone laughed.
At this moment, it was rare to relax, smell the food, and look at the hard-working and skillful woman, Uncle Hu sighed a little.
"Alas, I would never have thought that the mountains would be so blessed. Think about the several women who followed the mountain at the beginning, and they turned out to be people with no luck. But you are a blessed man. ”
Li Hongmei smiled slightly.
She doesn't say anything about this kind of thing.
"You are talking about the Dashan family. I thought of the Zhao Di who didn't want to go to the mountains and had to follow Gangzi, do you remember? ”
Hey, there's news of Zhaodi?
Li Hongmei was also a little surprised, so she listened to it.
"Zhao Di, I know. That woman, at a glance, is a dishonest woman. How good Dashan was to her at the beginning. She was stunned to hook Luo Gang to run, and finally got together with Luo Gang, and in turn asked Dashan to fulfill them. What else do you say, treat Dashan as his own brother. When my sister gets married, I have to say something about it. Alas, at the beginning, the Luo family and Zhaodi were stunned, and they were stunned to see the mountain as a second stunned. You said that the mountains are the same, and you really gave 200 copper coins to fulfill those two. ”
Li Hongmei listened silently, how stupid and stupid her men used to be. His own woman ran away with the people, but instead came to give money to complete the family. That's no one.
"Yes, you say it's strange, the old mountain was an elm
Guy. Now, with Hongmei, this kid can be regarded as enlightened. ”
"You haven't said yet, what's wrong with this trick? Didn't you run away with Luo Gang's uncle? The woman was also unsure. Dropped a little girl and ran away with an old man. Tsk, I'm addicted to running. ”
"This time, I seemed to be looking at her. Didn't I go to a distant relative's house last month? I heard a woman talking to the person next door. The voice sounded familiar. So he ran out and took a look. looks like Zhaodi. However, when the man heard me greet her, he turned around and went into the house. Later, I wasn't sure, I didn't know if it was her. ”
"Probably yes. It's just that people remarry and don't want to recognize you. ”
Li Gang, who was doing this, patted his legs on the spot.
"Well, it's a bit of a ghost. Let me tell you, the man next door seems to have bought Zhaodi from someone else. ”
"Ah, bought? This trick was sold? ”
"I deliberately inquired, it seems that the person who sold her is that Luo Gang's lame uncle. It is said that Zhao Di was sold for three taels of silver. But it happened after I greeted her. The next day, it is said that the man ran away with all the valuable things in the man's house, and now the family is full of chickens and eggs, and the people are gone, and the wealth is gone. Alas, three taels of silver, this is also the savings of a poor man for a lifetime. ”
Li Hongmei frowned when she heard this.
If that person is really Zhaodi, it is very likely that she and Luo Daman will work together to release pigeons, just to cheat money.
"Later, those people went to the introducer, and the introducer was still complaining. said that he only accepted 100 copper coins from them for introduction. In the end, who would have thought that these two people would run away, and she would also fall into infamy. Anyway, that's the end of it. The man who bought a daughter-in-law is now going crazy with anger. O evildoer, why is this man's heart so bad? ”
The speakers sighed, and the crowd began to curse the streets.
After drinking the soup and simmering another pot, the people who went to cut the bamboo also returned.
It took nearly a day for the water to be brought over again.
No less than 50 bamboos were built, and the water received by so many roots quickly filled the dry river.
Looking at the cheerful flow of water flowing out of the mountain, a group of people let out happy smiles.
"This time, it can be regarded as alive."
Outside the mountain.
Zhao's mother and Xiao Wu have been waiting for news at home.
The village chief also came to the back mountain from time to time to take a walk.
The rest of the village also looked back at the mountain from time to time.
One day, two days, three days
It's only the fourth day, but the people who went into the mountains haven't come back yet. For a time, there was an atmosphere of unease in the village.
"I heard that there are a lot of wild beasts in that mountain, and there are many poisonous snakes, and all kinds of dangerous plants. Why we can't eat mountains by relying on the mountains is not because the mountains are too dangerous. ”
"Alas, you say, more than ten people in our village this time won't be able to come back, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Why can't you come back, why do you have to have one or two of a dozen people come back. ”
"It's hard to say, this is in the mountains, who knows if you will get lost!"
For a while, there was everything.
It's just that most of them are not optimistic.
Mother Zhao followed Wu'er to walk in the mountains, and her heart was also fluttering.
"Grandma, don't worry, they will definitely come back. My aunt and they are fine, nothing will happen. ”
After the past two years, Wu'er has become much more sensible. At this time, he comforted the worried Zhao's mother like a little man, and this child was doing all the work at home.
Not far away, Man'er Niang also looked worried.
The proprietor went to the mountains for several days, and if she couldn't come back, she had to go home.
When she thought about her father's atrocities, she felt chills all over her body.
"Lady of the proprietor, you must come back, you must be"
She kept praying in her heart, and on the one hand, Man'er tightened her little face, and her eyes were also nervously looking at the road in the mountains.
"Ah, there is water, there is water coming out, oh my God, what do I see, there is water, there is water in our village"
Suddenly, someone cheered and said there was water.
Zhao's mother is a spirit.
Then hurry up and get up.
"Wu'er, you help me to take a look, it's really water."
Wu'er ran ahead and took a look. turned around and screamed excitedly at Zhao's mother.
"Grandma, grandma, it's really water, it's water. Our people have found a source of water. They've brought the water out. ”
However, after a long period of contact with this group, they gradually integrated into the village.
was watched by everyone in a friendly manner, and all Li Hongmei's fatigue disappeared.
The village chief's words were not at all opinionated.
"Yes, saved. It's also thanks to a place where we have a water source here, otherwise, I really don't know what would have happened. ”
When there was a water source, the people in the village began to carry water and water it as soon as possible.
"The Zhao family, this time we have made great contributions to our village, and we have the ability to help the Zhao family water the land."
An old man answered, "This time, the crops in our village have finally been saved." ”
"Good, nice kids, they're all good."
Although it is inside the old mountain, it is a reckless mountain.
"This"
When Li Hongmei and her party came out of the mountain, they saw that there were many villagers in their fields helping to water them.
One by one, they woke up, and the wind blew and made a rattling sound.
If it weren't for Dashan's daughter-in-law who proposed to find a water source, they wouldn't have dared to. And this time into the mountain, needless to say, the Zhao family must have helped a lot. After all, only the people of their family have the experience of entering the mountains.
Although, there will still be some unsatisfactory people and things in this, but most of them are still kind and simple, which is enough
"Hehe, daughter-in-law of the mountain, we are all grateful to you, if you hadn't called on the whole village to find a water source, where would we have such a good thing. Alas, water is the only way to keep the crops, and you have done a great thing this time. ”
The crops that had been dry were revived, after being watered by the water.
In fact, she was also selfish at the beginning.
The old village chief also laughed at this time.
Everyone greeted each other with a smile, and some said even more gratefully.
Integrated, this group of kind, simple people.
But fortunately, the water source is there.
