Feng's father was dug out of the grave, firewood, burned to ashes, and flew to the Gan River.

After the drought was eliminated and the dust settled, the villagers of several villages were nervous and waiting for the rain.

However, days passed, and the sun was still shining, and not a drop of rain was visible.

It hadn't rained for months, and the Gan River had dried up completely, and a gust of wind blew the former riverbed to blow up large patches of sand and dust.

Daoxiang Village, the village has been full of gods for dozens or hundreds of years, its source is endless, the water well called nectar, as the groundwater level continues to decline, more and more people take water from it, and the clear spring in the well is drying up day by day.

If it doesn't rain again, within a month, the water in Daoxiang Village will be cut off.

At that time, not to mention the crops, even people will die of thirst.

As a last resort, the whole village raised funds and invited a well maker from the county town to dig the well again.

When the well builder explored the well, he was surprised to find that half of the crops in Daoxiang Village were still alive.

Because there are dozens of villages in several towns in one county of Qiandeng County, all the crops have died.

In fact, even the villagers of Daoxiang Village have discovered this miraculous phenomenon, but they still can't understand why the river is dry, the wells are dry, people are dying of thirst, and the crops are still half dead.

After being puzzled, I had to blame it on the blessing of the gods.

After a fruitless attempt to explore the village, the amazed well maker planned to dig a well next to the ridges of the surviving crops.

Although the quality of the well water dug in the field may not be very good, the villagers now have very low requirements and only need to produce water.

What's more, if a well is really drilled to produce water, it is better to draw water nearby to irrigate the fields to fight drought.

The wellsmith was confident that he would be able to dig a well, because if the crops were alive, they must have water underneath.

However, when he excavated at the selected well digging site, he dug several feet deeper, and the soil was dry, not to mention the moisture, and even the moisture was not enough.

"No water. How did this crop survive? ”

The well craftsman felt very strange, but he was very unwilling, and worked hard for several days, opening several wells, but still not a drop of water.

Now the villagers of Daoxiang Village are reluctant.

Not to mention the delay, it also cost a lot of money, and the village was dug with pits everywhere, but not even a drop of water could be seen.

Under the surging emotions, someone grabbed the well smith. Threatened to send the well smith to the yamen and hand it over to the government on the grounds of fraud.

They had listened to the king's camel and burned the so-called drought, but they did not ask for rain, and when they went to look for the king's camel, the king's camel disappeared.

At that time, they finally came to their senses and were deceived.

Tricked once. They don't want to be scammed a second time.

The yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money.

Where did the well builder dare to go to the yamen, he had to compensate all the money for digging the well, which calmed the anger of the villagers.

Drove out the crook wellsmith. The well still had to be drilled, and in desperation, the villagers of Daoxiang Village invited a geomer.

"There are nests to build dwellings, and flints make fire. Shennong tasted the grass, and Boyi dug the well. Bo Yi is a well, and Long Deng Xuanyun. Shenqi Kunlun. ”

The middle-aged earth master was invited to the village, and after some eating and drinking, he was led to the nectar well in the village. He glanced at the manna well and spoke eloquently.

"Have you ever worshipped Boyi?"

For what the earth master said, there is a nest to build a dragon to ascend to Xuanyun, and the villagers who don't know one of the big characters are confused.

Fortunately, Liu Yang, the village head, was well-informed and knew that Boyi was the god of the well, so he hurriedly replied: "I have worshiped every year." ”

The Earth Master nodded, and said slowly, "Well, the Well, the life of water is hidden in the ground. Well water, irrigating grains, nourishing all things, the kettle does not produce dust, clothes do not condense dirt, and it has a great contribution to the people. Worship the god of the well, it is essential, you have done a good job. ”

Liu Yang was secretly pleased when he saw that this earth master was very good, and said, "I also ask Mr. to help open a new well." ”

The earth master frowned slightly, looked at the manna well, and said, "In a year of great drought, it is normal for the river to be cut off and the well to dry up. But your well, first sacrificed and then dredged, may not be able to regain the well. ”

Liu Yang hurriedly said: "So that Mr. knows that the manna well has just been cleared a few days ago, and no new spring has emerged. ”

"Ahem, it turns out that it has been cleared." The earth master coughed lightly in disguise, and said with an unchanged expression, "That is indeed only a new well." ”

Liu Yang stepped forward, stuffed two taels of silver, and said, "So, there is Mr. Lao." ”

After speaking, he recounted the matter of the wellsmith who had been invited to make a new well with water but could not produce water.

The earth master pinched the broken silver, received it in his sleeve pocket, pondered it in his heart for a while, and said, "Did the well master say that there are four methods for spring water to be exposed?" ”

The so-called four methods of spring water exposure are four methods for judging whether there is an aquifer underground and whether there is spring water exposure.

Liu Yang sighed and replied, "But the gas test, the disc test, the reins test and the fire test? ”

The earth master showed such a smile on his face, and said contemptuously: "If there is a big drought today, it has been half a year, but the spring water is exposed to the four methods of exploration, that craftsman is not a liar, but also a person with low skills." You saw through it early and recovered your losses, which is not bad. ”

Liu Yang nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true. ”

The earth master smiled with satisfaction: "Work at sunrise, rest at sunrise, dig wells and drink, plough the fields and eat." Where the well is dug, the foot of the mountain is up, and the spring comes out. The well must be dug under the bamboo tree, and the spring veins ......"

As he spoke, he heard the villagers secretly complaining.

This speech is not to do learning, such a show, isn't it playing the piano to the cow?

However, Liu Yang had to be careful: "If I can get Mr. to help me dig a new well for water, I will be grateful to Daoxiang Village." ”

Crowded in the crowd to watch the lively peace is one of the few people who can understand the earth master, but the earth master is there to make a lot of nonsense, in his eyes, how to look like Zhao Kuo on paper recorded in the history books.

"It's not going to be another liar, is it?"

Thinking so in his heart, Ping An retreated from the crowd.

"Mother, I'm back."

"Didn't you go to see the well?"

"Don't look at it, I'm going to the temple."

"Your sister Nie is back?"

"I don't know, so I'm going to give it a trip."

"I haven't been there in a while, so it's good to go. But if your sister Nie is not there, you have to come back as soon as possible, don't spend the night in the temple, you know? ”

"Peace knows, don't worry."

"Take Ah Huang with you, go and come back quickly."

While speaking, Ping An took Ah Huang and walked out of the house.

Since Nie Xiaoqian went out to collect wood qi, she has gone farther and farther, and it is rare to return to the temple, and Ping'an has never seen her again.

I didn't see him when I went up the mountain several times, and because of the severe drought, he went to the temple and walked less.

The reason why I wanted to go to the temple this time was to see if Nie Xiaoqian had returned, and secondly, it was naturally a matter of digging a well.

Ping An was worried that the geomaster he invited was a liar and would not be able to dig a well for water.

Without new water sources, their lives will become increasingly difficult and they may even be forced to flee the drought to escape the drought.

"Sister should have a way."

Ping An muttered, speeding up the mountain. (To be continued......)
