Chapter 62: Digging a Well

After some rectification, this small village finally stopped.

Food is available, but there is still a problem that has not been solved, that is, water, as the source of life, water, can be said to be the indispensable existence of all life.

"There is a great drought in Yunshan and the rivers are drying up, since there is no water on the earth, why don't you dig wells?"

Zhuang Weiming asked very suspiciously, and at the same time, this was also the confusion of Gu Qianqiu and the others.

The middle-aged Sun Fu wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, he whispered: "To dig a well, you need to pay a well tax to the imperial court, and if someone carries water, what water fee is needed."

In addition, around here, within a radius of 100 miles, people have almost run, and experienced well masters have long moved to other places. ”

It is precisely because of this that they did not do this, and now in these years, they can't even eat, where do these bankers have the strength to do this kind of coolie?

In addition, even if you are lucky and get water, it is useless, and the water cannot satisfy hunger, there is no food, and in the end, people must not run out? Isn't that a wasted effort?

The more he listened, the heavier Zhuang Weiming's heart became, this is a dead loop, once you enter, there is no solution, unless the gods come, you can unravel it.

If they don't dig a well, they will have no water, and if they dig a well, it will cost people's lives, and they will have no food, so they can only starve to death if they stick to this place, and if they leave, the well will be wasted.

Sighing lightly, he turned his head and asked, "Brother Gu, I don't know if I can help?" ”

Gu Qianqiu nodded, but said helplessly: "Brother Zhuang, although Gu is a monk, he has never learned the art of feng shui, so he really can't help in this regard." ”

Digging a well is not so simple, you need to find groundwater, and at the worst, you have to find a place with water, and people, but on the ground, if you want to find groundwater across the earth, it is like a blind man touching an elephant.

When Zhuang Weiming heard this, he was also helpless, if he wanted to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, the teachings of the former sages, and the like, he was familiar with it, and some of them could even be memorized backwards.

But about the art of feng shui, he also didn't know anything, although so, but he couldn't stop it, he wanted to dig out the heart of a well.

This Sunjia Village is really too bitter, which makes him, the soon-to-be-appointed mansion, a little unbearable, and he really wants to do something for them in order to soothe the uneasiness in his heart a little.

"Perhaps, there is a way to dig up the water." After thinking about it carefully, Gu Qianqiu said with a little hesitation.

"How? Come quickly". Zhuang Weiming couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"It's just a stupid idea, look around and see if there are any trees alive, if they are still alive, there must be a water source underneath."

After groaning, Zhuang Weiming couldn't help nodding, this is indeed a way, but it is not a good way, the root system of trees is extremely developed, not to mention, it also extends everywhere.

The devil knows how many meters the roots of a tree extend out of the surroundings and how many meters downwards, so if you follow this method, it can only depend on luck.

"It's better to look for some small trees, large and medium-sized trees, it's useless to look for them." Gu Qianqiu added.

Now that there is a way, it is necessary to take action, and take advantage of the fact that everyone has just finished eating food, regained some strength, and can also help a little.

Soon, with the efforts of everyone, not far away, an unknown tree was found, but on this tree, it was bare, and there was not a single leaf.

"In the twenty-sixth year of Qianyou, there was a great drought in Yunshan, and the people had no food, so they used leaves to satisfy their hunger."

Looking at this bare tree, for some reason, this sentence suddenly appeared in Gu Qianqiu's mind.

I couldn't help but sigh softly in my heart, this tree can be regarded as saving a few lives, and it can be regarded as having merit, but it can't keep it safe, and it can't even save its life.

"Brother Shu, Brother Shu, the so-called good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and now you need to borrow the treasure land under your body, if you don't agree, then squeak, don't squeak, when you agree."

With a slight wave of his hand, the sword at his waist was instantly unsheathed and slashed directly at the stump, and in an instant, the sapling the size of a child's fist collapsed directly, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The crowd of onlookers looked at him in surprise, very curious, how did he do it? It's just a blink of an eyelid and I don't see anything, why did the tree fall?

For the surprised eyes of the onlookers around him, he didn't pay attention to it at all, where is this? Wait, it's the real shocking moment.

The mana wrapped the long sword, and it stabbed at the position of the stump, and suddenly, the entire three-foot long sword directly sank into the ground, revealing only one hilt.

Control the long sword, draw a circle at the stump, and then use mana to directly shake out all the soil in the circle, and in an instant, a half-meter-deep hole appeared.

Wow......

The villagers were in an uproar, one by one as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, looking at him with an incredulous face, and then looking at the pothole, for a while, in the crowd.

Suddenly, someone quietly ran away, and as he ran, he shouted: "Youkai, don't eat me, I don't have meat, and it's not delicious." ”

"No, I spent a lot of mana to perform here, shouldn't you shout immortals? How can it be a youkai? The script is wrong. ”

Looking at the hundreds of people in a commotion, Gu Qianqiu was a little confused, of course, he was not to blame, he could only say that the timing of their appearance was too coincidental.

The hundreds of people in Sunjia Village are ready to leave this place early tomorrow morning and go elsewhere to survive, but they didn't expect that they would come that night.

One person claims to be the new governor, and with a few words and some food, can he establish prestige in the hearts of everyone? How is that possible? Think of scripts and legends.

If you want to take it first, you must give it first, people naturally think that these people are probably not people, but demons, and the reason why they want to keep them is to keep them in captivity.

"Quiet~" Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Gu Qianqiu's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly screamed in his mouth.

Suddenly, it was as if someone had pressed the pause button here, and everyone was motionless for an instant, and some were still trembling, thinking that this demon couldn't help but eat people now.

glanced at Zhuang Weiming, Zhang Qingyun, and Fu Bo, and motioned them to explain what was going on, but he didn't care about it.

He began to dig again, and soon, under his wholehearted and several years of mana, a pit more than ten meters deep appeared, and at the bottom of the pit, water flowed out.

"Water ~ Water ......"

Under the light of the fire, a stream of water was gushing out at the bottom of the pit, rushing into the pit, and instantly mixed with the dirt, making it extremely turbid in an instant.

Even so, the people who came back didn't care, but one by one, their eyes were staring at the puddle of turbid liquid at the bottom.

"Immortal Master again, please accept my Sunjia Village, ninety-six villagers to worship."
