She followed Lin Bei to the door, and the two walked to the threshing floor in the village, where many people in the village had gathered, everyone was whispering, pointing at the carriage parked on the threshing floor, and chatting happily.

On weekdays, people in the village also see ox carts, mules, and donkeys, and the carriage is used only by nobles, and it is rare for people in the village to see it once, and this carriage is more gorgeous and wide than the carriage of the human traffickers that Jiang Yan has seen, which is very eye-catching in the village.

"Mother, are we going to see the carriage, or are we going to see the county and the village chief's grandfather?"

Lin Bei took Jiang Yan by the hand and pointed to the group with great interest: "The carriage stopped at the threshing floor, but the county Cheng went to the field, saying that he was going to see the bamboo rafts built in our village, mother, you see, where are they." ”

Jiang Yan looked along the flow of people, many people had already gone to the bamboo row, and the village chief and Li Zheng were at the front, followed by a group of villagers behind them.

"It's amazing! The county is all coming to our Linjia Village! ”

"I heard that the village chief and Li Zheng also came back in an ox cart together, but it's amazing, other villages don't have this treatment!"

"That's that! Or our village has the ability! ”

“……”

The villagers in the back, you say a word, and the words of compliment make the village chief and Li Zheng in front of him smile, and they keep saying that it is the credit of everyone in the village.

"You don't have to be polite, you do have merit, many villages have been cut off recently, and the county magistrate is worried all day long, since your village can find a water source, and spontaneously build a bamboo raft, it is true that the two of you manage it properly." The county man who walked in the front spoke sincerely, and there were a few hints of appreciation in his eyes.

The village chief and Li Zheng did not dare to hold it up, they knew that the county Cheng came to the village not only to see the bamboo rafts, but also to know how the village found the water source.

"Lord County, the water source was discovered by Aunt Jiang in our village, and the method of building a bamboo row was also a method that her sons came up with."

"Hey! Aunt Jiang is there! ”

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, a sharp-eyed villager saw Jiang Yan who was watching the excitement from behind, and when he opened his mouth, everyone stopped and looked back at Jiang Yan.

？？

Jiang Yan looked at all the people who suddenly turned around in unison, and looked left and right in wonder, only to confirm that those people were looking at her, she smiled awkwardly, and regretted coming out to join in the fun.

"Mother, that county official seems to be looking at us!"

Lin Bei hugged Jiang Yan excitedly: "He is much whiter than us, he has a long beard, and his clothes are so strange......"

Jiang Yan looked at the county man in the crowd, the county man was an ordinary old man, but the scholars here were somewhat upright, and the scholars studied hard all year round, compared with the villagers who were all over the world, they were naturally much whiter.

"You are Aunt Jiang? Under is surnamed Huang, who came to Linjia Village to check the water source on the order of the county commander. Huang Xiancheng shook the folding fan in his hand and fanned it from time to time.

The sun is scorching.

The sun hanging above their heads instinctively squinted slightly, Jiang Yan approached and looked at Huang Xiancheng, forty or fifty years old, without too much expression on his face, with a sense of nobility.

"The grass people are Aunt Jiang, and I have seen the county lord."

Jiang Yan didn't know how the people here saluted when they saw the officials, they just hugged their fists, and when they thought of Lin Bei beside her, they knelt down, lay on the ground, and made a five-body bow!

The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched a few times, but she naturally pulled Lin Bei up, as a modern person, it was really difficult for her to convince herself to kneel down to a man who was not much older, and it was still on the muddy ground, it was enough to bow.

Huang Xiancheng opened his mouth and said: "Aunt Jiang doesn't have to be polite, I came here today just to see the bamboo rafts in Linjia Village, and I want to ask you, how did you find the water source?" ”

Before the water source was found in Linjia Village, the county magistrate arranged for many people to search for other water sources in the mountains near the village, trying to find other water sources.

"I stumbled upon the water source when my sons and I went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables." Jiang Yan said calmly: "When I first went up the mountain, I found that the trees in the mountain were luxuriant, and the deeper and deeper it went, the more humid the soil was, and wild mushrooms could grow. ”

Jiang Yan carefully considered the sentence, she knew why the county order cared so much about the water source, if other villages could also find a water source, this year's grain would not be afraid of not being able to harvest, the most important thing is that in the past few years of drought, the villagers have been at the end of the crossbow, if they can't harvest grain this year, it will become the last straw that crushes the camel, at that time, I am afraid that many people will have to flee to other places.

"That's right! That's the case, as soon as Xiao Jiang found the water source, he told the village that night, so that everyone could build a bamboo raft in time, otherwise the village would have stopped water a long time ago. ”

The village also hurriedly agreed, he was wearing a new dark brown dress, even his shoes were washed clean, there were no patches on his body, and he was wearing his latest clothes.

"And what method did you use?" Huang Xiancheng hurriedly asked.

Jiang Yan briefly talked about the discovery of the water source, and then continued: "This matter is also luck, the county lord can try it in other places according to this method, but the grass people dare not guarantee that they will be able to find the water source. ”

Huang Xiancheng nodded: "There are twenty-seven villages under Yong'an Town, of which twelve have dried up and cut off water, and the water volume of other villages is gradually decreasing, and many villages are borrowing water from each other to maintain, if they can find a water source, they can solve the current drought." ”

Huang Xiancheng's face was serious, and a few young people in the village didn't dare to make a sound if they wanted to laugh, Linjia Village can find a water source, it doesn't mean that other villages can also find it, and Liujia Village next door can't find it!

Jiang Yan also fell into deep thought, generally speaking, it is impossible for a county order to have only one town under its jurisdiction, at least ten or twenty of them, the county order can pay attention to Linjia Village so quickly, presumably other towns are not as arid as Yong'an Town, at least the villagers are not in a hurry to drink water, and the water shortage in the village of Yong'an Town should be very serious, otherwise the county order will not be in a hurry to find her a village woman.

"My lord, there is a sentence I have to tell the truth, although there is a water source on Wolf Mountain, it does not mean that there are other mountains."

Wolf Mountain is the mountain where Jiang Yan found the water source, because there were wolves infested before, and the village was named Wolf Mountain.

"Yes, the village chief of Liujia Village, who was a good friend of me before, also tried this method, not only did he not find a water source, but he was also chased by a big insect in the mountains, and he almost died." The village chief said with palpitations, fortunately, they didn't encounter big insects when they built the bamboo raft.

Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed, she had heard a wolf howling when she went up the mountain before, Liujia Village was behind their village, separated by two hills, it was estimated that the sound of cutting and beating in the village every day scared everything in the mountains to the mountains on their side, so they were easy to encounter wild beasts in the mountains.
