286, with many difficulties
The geographical location of Baiyun Village is excellent, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one entrance and exit, and Baiyun Village is located in the plain in the middle of the three mountains, and covers a very wide area.
This is also the reason why Baiyun Village can't grow food, and the people who live here are still hungry and don't die.
However, the three mountains in Baiyun Village are higher than the other, even if it is the shortest mountain, the people here can only interact on the periphery of the mountain, not to mention the other two mountains, ordinary people can't enter it at all, it is completely deep in the mountains and old forests, there is no trace of people at all, and no one knows how many beasts lurk in the deep mountains.
It is also because Baiyun Village covers an area so wide that the seven families living here are far apart and each is in a corner, which makes the village extremely lonely.
Three quarters of an hour later, the group each chose a vacant land to build a house, and the original exile team led by the Song family chose the left side of the village, and this vacant land with about 20 acres of land was enough for several families to build houses.
After the Wen family and Cao Tianrong chose the position of the Song family, they immediately occupied the positions on both sides of the Song family, of course, they also understood the importance of private space, so the two of them did not close to the Song family, but chose a position three or four hundred meters away from the Song family to build a house, so that they were closest to the Song family, and they could each retain a certain amount of space.
As for the Cao family and the dozen or so scattered criminals? There is no doubt that they must have built houses around them, although they were a little envious and jealous of the Song family in their hearts, but they had to admit that the Song family was indeed very strong.
Closely following the Song family, the future days can be more stable, the Song family really has nothing to say in terms of character, what will happen in the future, looking at the friendship of exile along the way, at least the Song family will not stand idly by, compared to the original residents of Lijia Village and Baiyun Village, they are more willing to believe in the Song family.
Therefore, even if they have settled down now, they will not stay away from the Song family.
And the location of the homestead chosen by the villagers of Lijia Village is more to the right, there are more than 60 people in their village, and they are definitely not suitable to follow the Song family, and Li Ming does not want the people in his village to disturb the nobles, so it is best to be far away.
Therefore, he deliberately chose the opposite direction to the Song family, but it was about a kilometer away from the Song family, and it was about ten minutes away on foot, which was just right.
As soon as the location was chosen, the people on both sides began to get busy, the men took their farming tools up the mountain to chop wood to build thatched huts, and the women sorted their luggage, and then picked wild vegetables and picked firewood and dead leaves to make a fire at the foot of the nearby mountain, ready to make lunch.
It's noon now, and everyone has come all the way from the county seat to Baiyun Village, and everyone's stomach has long been exhausted.
Because of the limited time, if you don't build a thatched house before dark, everyone can only sleep outside that night, the weather has begun to cool down, and Baiyun Village is in the deep mountains, the temperature is several degrees lower than outside, if you sleep outdoors at night, you will definitely get cold.
The Song family has a tent, but the tent is not completely sheltered from the wind and rain, and now no one can say for sure that the weather is not as good as the thatched house.
Besides, it is impossible for the Song family and others to live in tents all the time, and even if the Song family wants to build a better blue brick house, they will need a temporary residence during the construction period, so it is also necessary to build a thatched house now.
"Huh? Have you noticed that there is no water source in this village? ”
Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin worked together to set up a tent first, so that everyone could have a private space to avoid sight, and the old lady and the children could also have a place to take a lunch break after lunch.
When they set up their tents and wanted to get some water to wash, Xia Ning suddenly found a very important problem, they didn't see any water around them.
This water is the source of all things, an indispensable thing in life.
Hearing this, Song Shaoqin recalled, "It seems that I really didn't see the water source." ”
On the way from the time they entered the village to the time they chose the homestead, they did not see a stream or anything like a stream in the village, and they did not seem to see a well.
"You rest, I'll ask."
The previous village chief, Wu Xing, was explaining the precautions to the men who were about to go up the mountain to chop wood, and he was worried that they would not be able to get it without tools.
As a result, what a good guy!
The villagers of Lijia Village don't talk about it, they almost brought everything they could bring with them at home this time, naturally including farm tools, but the Song family and his party actually took out a uniform style of shovels!!
This shovel is very strong and resistant at first glance, and the appearance is also very unique and good-looking, in short, it is many times better than the shovel he has seen before.
It really amazed him.
Although this shovel is used as a farm tool, not all farmers can afford it, and it is generally used by landlords or farmers with some family background.
Anyway, they don't have shovels in Baiyun Village.
Seeing that each of them had a shovel, Wu Xing's eyes were red with envy, are all the exiles so arrogant today?
He was genuinely envious.
"Village Chief Wu, is there no water source in the village?"
Song Shaoqin stepped forward and asked.
Hearing this, Wu Xing suddenly patted his head, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot to tell you, the reason why no one in our Baiyun Village is willing to settle down is that in addition to the bad land, there is also a big problem, that is, there is no water flow." ”
"Huh? So what do we usually drink? How do you cook and wash? ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard it, this Baiyun Village is really difficult, one problem after another, the land is not good, they can still convince themselves to accept, after all, Baiyun Village covers a vast area, this land is not good, then find a way to open up another piece of land, such a big village can always find a piece of land that can grow food, right?
But if there is no water source, then it will be unbearable!
Wu Xing hurriedly said, "Don't worry, although there is no water source in the village, there is a small mountain stream on the back mountain of the village, just halfway up the mountain. ”
"This. It's too much work. ”
"Do you want to go up the mountain to fetch water to drink?"
"My mother~ It's so tiring."
"It's so hard to use water."
"How can you live here~"
"Isn't there a water well in the village?"
