When the construction captain heard this, he lowered his head and hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll go and discuss with my brothers again!" After speaking, the construction team leader turned his head to discuss with the workers. [Ran^Text^Library] []. []. [>

After a while, the captain came back after discussing with the workers, and said to Li Zhengqu, "Master Li, I discussed it with my brothers...... Everyone also understood the urgency of the hundreds of people in the village waiting for the draft, so everyone was willing to continue to work, but ...... Only the two workers tonight refused to do it anymore...... With a few fewer manpower, it is estimated that the speed of sinking the well will be delayed for a day or two! ”

Li Zhengqu stood there and pursed his lips and smiled, thinking secretly, he really guessed the intentions of these people, and said, "Okay then!" Everyone is willing to do it, and when it is completed, I Li Zhengqu will not treat you badly, as for the other two brothers who are unwilling to do it, we will not be embarrassed, I will pay them these few days later! But...... You still have to hurry up and do it, try to complete it on time, hundreds of people in the village have no water to eat, they have to go to the river outside the mountain to fetch water, how inconvenient it is! ”

When the captain heard this, he quickly nodded in agreement.

It was just noon when he finished talking, Li Zhengqu took everyone home for dinner, and when he went back, he only said to the others that Zhang Erqiang had returned to his hometown, so that everyone should not worry, and the two workers did not eat lunch, and quickly left Muzi Village after receiving their wages.

In the afternoon, the construction team continued the construction, but did not encounter any other strange situations.

Until the evening, the construction team finished, the workers returned to Li Zhengqu's house for dinner, Li Zhengqu found that the water in the big urn in the kitchen at home did not seem to be enough, if you don't hurry up to get some water to come over, it is estimated that tomorrow morning the cooking will have to boil the pot, Li Zhengqu quickly called another subordinate in the family Liu Heipi, because there are many people who eat at home these days, and Liu Heipi is responsible for going to the mountain to fetch water, Li Zhengqu pointed to the half bucket of water in the urn and scolded Liu Heipi, saying that Liu Heipi does not worry about working when he eats, Let Liu Heipi quickly pack up his things and go to fetch water and come back!

Liu Heipi was stupid when he heard this, looked at the gray sky outside, and said reluctantly, "Master...... This...... It's all dark......"

"What's wrong...... Don't eat after dark? Don't drink water? Hurry up and fetch water for me, or pack up the bed and get out, I really don't know what you're doing with this waste! I can't even do that! Li Zhengqu saw that this Liu Heipi dared to speak back, and immediately became angry.

However, this matter is completely no wonder Liu Heipi, because the new well in the village has not been laid in the past few days, so all the families in the village are from the river outside the mountain to pick up water back to eat, but from this mountain to one in and one out of three or four hours, if you carry two buckets of water, it will take most of the day, and now it is almost dark, if Liu Heipi only goes to fetch water now, then I don't know when I will be able to come back at night, and the night road is also very difficult to walk, and it is very dangerous, so Liu Heipi has some pushes the committee, I don't want to go to fetch water so late, Unexpectedly, it made Li Zhengqu angry.

Liu Heipi was reprimanded by Li Zhengqu and lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak anymore, Li Zhengqu angrily brushed his sleeves away, leaving Liu Heipi standing alone in the courtyard stunned.

Liu Heipi is a subordinate after all, how dare not listen to the master's orders, although there are a hundred reluctance in his heart, but in the end he still picked up the flat pole in the corner, carried a bucket and prepared to go out to fetch water, at this time, Zhang Lame, who had been hiding in the firewood room to watch Liu Heipi being trained, limped out of the firewood room, although this person was a lame man, but among these subordinates, he had the most bad ideas, full of bad water.

Zhang Laizi came to Liu Heipi, looked at Liu Heipi who was cleaning up his things with a bitter gourd face, and asked in a low voice, "Heipi...... What's ...... It's so dark, you're really going to go out......"

Liu Heipi had just been reprimanded by Li Zhengqu, and he was annoyed at this time, so he glanced at Zhang Laizi, who seemed to be watching the excitement, and said angrily, "What's the matter...... If I don't go, will you go? Forget it, looking at you like this, it's not easy to walk empty-handed, let alone pick up two buckets of water, it is estimated that it will be dawn when you pick it up! It's time for me to scold me again! ”

Zhang Lame was choked by Liu Heipi like this, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and scolded, "You turtle grandson, Lao Tzu originally said that I would give you an idea to save your energy, but now it seems that I am kind enough to be blocked by the donkey's liver and lungs!" ”

As soon as Liu Heipi heard this, he looked at Zhang Laizi, because he knew that Zhang Laizi usually had a lot of bad ideas, so he asked again, "What are your ideas?" Would you like to ask a god to help me carry water? ”

Zhang looked at the people around him and looked around before continuing, "I won't invite the immortals, but I have a way to save you three or four hours of mountain walking!" ”

"Three or four hours less mountain road? What's the solution? Liu Heipi became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

I saw Zhang Lame lying on tiptoe and whispering a few words in Liu Heipi's ear, and as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Heipi's eyes widened like copper bells, and he shouted, "What! You said to go to the well at the entrance of the village to get some water?! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lame hurriedly covered Liu Heipi's mouth, "You want to die, it's okay to be quiet, so that the master will be scolded when he hears it!" ”

Liu Heipi quickly reined in, but the surprise on his face had not subsided, and he asked in a low voice, "You mean to go to that well to fetch two buckets of water to make up the numbers?" ”

"Otherwise, you wouldn't really want to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to fetch water so late, don't you know how difficult the night road is, I see, no one in this family cares about your life and death except for me!" Zhang lame said.

Liu Heipi immediately hesitated when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "But...... Crappy Brother...... You know that...... Li Yue'e jumped into the well and drowned, and when she fished it out, it was soaked and swollen, can the water be eaten? ”

When Zhang lame heard this, he said angrily and anxiously, "I said you have an elm head, why are you so unenlightened, isn't there still half an urn of clean water in the urn in the kitchen, tomorrow when we cook, use the clean water to cook for us quietly alone, and then use the water in the bucket to cook for those people in the construction team, isn't it over?" ”

When Liu Heipi heard this, he was immediately moved, and felt that this was really a solution, "This is ...... How are ......."

"What's so good, anyway, they've been here for a few days and left, and they can't eat the dead! Come according to mine! Take the bucket and go to the field outside the village to find a haystack to sleep on, and then wait for the time to be almost up, take advantage of the time when there is no one to go to the well and quietly fetch two buckets of water to bring it back. It's a lot easier for you! Our current life is hard, so let's save some effort and save some effort! Zhang said lamely.

Liu Heipi no longer hesitated when he heard this, nodded and said, "Brother Lame, it seems that you are still in the brain!" Yes! I'll do what you're doing! In two days, when I enter the city, I will buy you a pot of wine, which will be a reward for you! ”

When Zhang lame heard this, he patted Liu Heipi's shoulder with a wicked smile on his face, and said that he was not polite.

So Liu Heipi happily carried two wooden barrels out of the yard.

Soon it was completely dark, and every household in Muzi Village also turned off the lights and fell asleep one after another, and the whole village slowly fell silent, and when it was more than ten o'clock in the night, Li Zhengqu and his wife also blew the lamp and fell asleep. It is estimated that more than an hour has passed, and I still don't see this Liu Heipi come back, at this time Zhang Lame was a little anxious, thinking that this Liu Heipi would not fall asleep in the field! This guy usually has no brains, if he sleeps until tomorrow morning, then this matter will not be exposed, the master knows that it will be done! The more Zhang Lame thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, no, I had to go and see, Zhang Lame suddenly got up from the bed, Zhang Lame kicked the little yellow hair on the other end of the bed, and said, "Little Yellow Mao, don't sleep, get up, get up quickly!" ”

Xiao Huangmao was in a daze and was woken up by this lame man, rubbed his eyes and got up and asked, "Uncle lame man, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't sleep, hurry up, your Uncle Heipi went to fetch water after dinner, it's been four or five hours now, why haven't you come back, let's go outside the village and have a look!" Zhang lame said.

Xiao Huangmao yawned and said, "Uncle Crappy, I'm sleepy, you can go by yourself, why do you have to pull me!" If you don't dare to go alone, you can go to the next room and ask someone else to accompany you! ”

"I ...... I didn't dare to go...... How does this bear boy speak, you lame uncle, I don't dare to do anything when I live so big, I want to take the opportunity to practice your guts, and when you grow up a little more, it's your business to carry water this night! If you don't practice your courage now, how dare you walk at night in the future! Zhang said hurriedly.

Xiao Huangmao fell down on the kang again, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and said, "In a few days, the new well will be built...... Why don't you go to fetch water at night......"

Zhang lame was said by a **-year-old child who had nothing to say, "You kid, why are you disobedient, you hurry up and get up for me!" As he spoke, Zhang lame pulled the little yellow hair off the quilt, got dressed, and followed him to the outside of the village to have a look.

Zhang Lame led the little yellow hair out of the courtyard and walked towards the entrance of the village, the moon in the evening of this day was round and bright, scattering a silver light, even if you don't hit the kerosene lamp, you can see the surrounding situation clearly.

When the two of them came to the entrance of the village, Zhang Laizi and Xiao Huangmao saw a person standing by the well at the entrance of the village, who stood there bent over and motionless, not like he was fetching water, but as if he was lying on the edge of the well and looking at something with his head down.

Zhang Lame quickly stopped, pointed to the figure and said to Xiao Huangmao, "Little Huangmao, you are a doll, you have good eyes, look at whether the person by the well is your Uncle Heipi!" ”

Little Yellow Fur stared at the man, nodded and said, "It seems to be!" ”

When Zhang lame heard this, he hurriedly pulled the little yellow hair and limped towards the man, shouting as he walked, "Black skin...... You elm pimple, why are you staying here so late, why don't you hurry up and fetch water and go back! ”

But the man was bent over by the well, still motionless, as if he had not heard what Zhang was saying.
