Mu Daqiang and Yao said in unison, "Yes!" ”

Mu Daqiang accentuated his tone and added, "Definitely can!" ”

After a pause, Mu Daqiang said again: "It's just... We have been settled in less than two days, and we have gathered 64 young adults to dig a well. ”

"What your father said, this thing is really difficult." Yao pursed his lips, "However, since the old immortal has instructions, let's not be discouraged." ”

Mu Ling saw that Mu Daqiang and the Yao family were convinced of the "Old Immortal's Dream", so everything that followed would naturally come naturally.

"Daddy, Auntie, that's how I planned it."

"Now that the drought in Zhangzhou continues, food prices will definitely skyrocket."

"I'm going to bring these ten 'Night Pearls' into the city tomorrow and exchange them for food. But whoever came to take part in digging the well, he gave them food. ”

Successive years of drought have led to a shortage of food, and food prices have skyrocketed. If food is available, many people will definitely give priority to it.

And the food in Ai Ci's space is inexhaustible.

As long as Mu Ling takes the "Night Pearl" into the city for a turn, he can justifiably transport a lot of grain from Ai Ci Space back to the village and pay wages to future well diggers.

Mu Daqiang and Yao nodded frequently when they listened.

"As for where the food comes from..."Mu Ling pondered for a moment, "Let's just say that Leng Yuan funded it." As for his identity, if anyone asks the bottom line, he will say that he is a 'rich second generation'. ”

What Leng Yuan's identity is, Mu Ling doesn't know at all.

But in the hearts of Mu Daqiang and Yao, Leng Yuan is Zhang Shizi.

Mu Daqiang and Yao glanced at each other.

Yao couldn't help asking: "What is the rich second generation?" ”

Mu Ling smiled: "The son of a rich man." ”

Mu Daqiang nodded suddenly in realization.

Yao also laughed, "King Zhang's Mansion is the richest mansion in the whole Zhangzhou, and Zhang Shizi is the 'son of a rich man', which is worthy of its name." ”

The three of them discussed it for a long time, and they all felt that digging a well was an imperative matter.

After all, of the original thirteen wells in Jinhua Village, only the one in the west of the village is still slowly producing water.

If the well is also exhausted, the whole village will be fetched water from a dense forest mountain stream dozens of miles away.

The discussion is over.

Yao's hugged the wooden box to find a place to hide the "Night Pearl".

Mu Ling couldn't help laughing, fortunately, the "Night Pearl" was voice-controlled, and it automatically went out after fifteen seconds. Otherwise, the built-in battery runs out, which will be embarrassing.

Mu Ling entered the second room in the west and carried a cloth bag, and then went to Xie Lizheng's house with Mu Daqiang.

When Mu Ling and Mu Daqiang came to the door of Xie Lizheng's house, Xie Li happened to have just returned from queuing up to fetch water from the west of the village.

Sheri was hurriedly inviting Mu Ling and Mu Da into the house.

After taking a seat, Mu Daqiang first handed over the cloth bag that Mu Ling handed to him halfway and handed it to Xie Lizheng.

Xie Li was taking the cloth bag in his hand and checking it, no less than five or six catties, pinching it like food.

He subconsciously hooked a small hole in the cloth bag, and when he saw that it contained round and white white rice, he immediately looked at Mu Daqiang with a stunned face, and said incoherently: "This, this... It's too precious! Your family's illness, small, such a precious good thing, should be kept for them to replenish their body. ”

Mu Daqiang didn't know that what was in the cloth bag turned out to be the best white rice. Looking at the color of the white rice, it is much better than the white rice sold in the rice shop in the town for 120 wen per catty.

The price is definitely higher!

Mu Daqiang looked at Mu Ling with a stunned face.

Mu Ling spoke at the right time, "This is actually the case..."

Then, she told Xie Lizheng about the "dream of the old immortal" - Leng Yuan woke up, and the dry well in the southeast corner of the courtyard was expected to come out of the water again.

During this period, Mu Daqiang has been helping.

However, he directly replaced the fact that Mu Ling found ten "Night Pearls" in the cellar of the courtyard courtyard, "After my family's Yuan'er virtuous son-in-law woke up, he went to the city overnight last night to return to his house and find a doctor to recuperate." ”

He also said: "My son-in-law said that all those who participated in digging wells, men and women, young and old, would be given white rice of good color—"

"Half a catty! Pick up on the same day. Mu Ling wanted to give more, but now the white rice in the town is as high as 120 wen per catty, and half a catty of white rice is equivalent to 60 wen. This is a very, very high wage for a peasant household with a monthly household income of less than 200 wen during the drought years.

"Of course, if someone doesn't want to receive white rice, they can get twenty wen a day."

Cherry was listening to his gray goatee and nodding frequently. However, he first sincerely congratulated Mu Daqiang and Mu Ling a few times - it was indeed a great joy that Leng Yuan, who had been asleep for more than a year, could wake up safely.

Then, he said that the well digging plan proposed by Mu Daqiang and Mu Ling was feasible.

After all, the only well in the village is getting smaller and smaller.

He had the idea of gathering the villagers to dig a well, but he had no money or food to reward them. Because he really can't bear the villagers to work in vain, empty joy.

Now, with the guidance of the old gods and the material support of Leng Yuan, if you can really dig out the water in the future, it will really be a great thing for the benefit of the villagers! If they fail to dig up water in the future, the villagers who receive rice or copper plates will not be busy in vain.

This kind of good deed that can make the villagers earn from their labor, he is naturally happy to see it come true.

Although Xie Lizheng is a few years old, he will never let it go back then.

He immediately instructed his two sons, "Ring the gong and gather the villagers to the well in the west of the village, and I have something important to announce." ”

The two sons didn't ask much, and immediately one of them carried a gong, and they went along the village to gather the villagers.

Soon, the sound of the gong spread to every household in the village.

It has been 29 years since the whole village fled thousands of miles away from the famine. At the beginning of settling down in Jinhua Village, Xie Lizheng struck a gong at night and urgently convened the whole village to discuss the reclamation plan. But that was more than ten years ago.

The villagers by the well in the west of the village gathered more and more.

When there are many people, there are many words, and there is everything to say.

"In the middle of the night, Li Zheng suddenly summoned everyone, are you preparing to escape from the famine?"

"If we want to escape again, where can we flee this time?"

"Nope! I don't want to run away! I don't want to leave Jinhua Village! Back then, I came to this Jinhua Village after nine deaths, and finally I had the place to live now... With this departure, there is nothing left. Moreover, maybe it will fall on the road forever like the flesh and blood relatives who fell on the way to escape from the famine. ”

"That's right! I'd rather die of thirst in Jinhua Village than die of hardship on the way to escape the famine! ”

"That's what I thought, too!"

"Me too."

"Be quiet!"

In the hazy night, Xie Li was walking up to the six-foot-high bluestone next to the well, gesturing for everyone to be quiet, and shouting at the top of his voice: "Everyone be quiet! ”

Some of the restless villagers were quiet for a while.
