Chapter 380: Fetching Water from the Mountains
If there is no result, he can't imagine what it will be like to get water from the village in the future.
You know, there are a lot of people who make enemies in the village, and now these young people may have forgotten that when there is a real shortage of water, this water source is such a precious resource, if the people who make enemies in the future are really on the road, by knocking over other people's water, to carry out retaliation, the village will definitely be chaotic.
If other villages are in chaos because of lack of food, then their village may be fighting to death because of the lack of water, after all, at that time, water is life, you move other people's lives, others must not fight with you!
"Is what Qin He said wrong?" Chen Zongze looked at the people around him and said.
The people who were swept by his gaze all lowered their heads, obviously, this is something that neither side wants to offend, too much to say is wrong, and it is not bad not to say it.
Their performance in itself has explained a lot of problems.
Seeing their reaction, Chen Zongze already knew it in his heart.
This time, there are also many old men in their forties, and they can almost guess what happened next, and they have no opinion on this, and this unhealthy trend must be suppressed.
"It seems that it is right, in this case, Doctor Chen Liangshu, you and Chen Liangshu are limited to helping Qin He pick up a load of water back within two days today and tomorrow, and at least half of the water in a bucket will be obtained."
"Also, now here, in front of everyone, apologize to Qin He, this matter, it is indeed your fault, if there is a conflict between the two of you, you are angry with Qin He in your heart, the two of them fight fist to fist, I have no opinion on the blue nose and swollen face, but you are not allowed to move the water."
"Water is such an important thing now!"
"Now you still have water at home, there is still a little muddy water in the reservoir, some people have already floated, this time I brought you here, it is to take water, collect your unsightly thoughts, if the drought continues like this, the water here is our life-saving water, who moves, people are going to fight with you, who can bear the consequences?"
After speaking, Chen Zongze looked at Chen Liangyi: "Do you recognize this punishment or not?" ”
Many people looked at it with burning eyes, Chen Liangyi almost crushed his teeth, he was still young, it was the time to love face, and now he was losing face, and a hatred suddenly appeared in his heart.
not only hated Qinhe for being troubled and dared to resist, but also hated Chen Zongze, his uncle, and didn't give him face.
Chen Liangyu, Chen Liangyu, from the names of these two people, knows that there is a great relationship between the two sides, and they are clansmen who have not yet served five clothes.
"I do." Chen Liangyi said loudly, and the current situation could not help but be denied by him.
Chen Zongze nodded, just admit it, he was annoyed by the kind of stubborn people who still didn't obey: "Very good, go and apologize to Qin Zhiqing, and bring water to others tomorrow, and this matter will be over." ”
"You should also take precautions, being young and vigorous is not an excuse for making mistakes, frizzy and irritable, but also responsible, remember, don't joke with water, on the road, don't make mistakes again, it's not easy to get here."
This time to go to the deep mountain pool to get water, is to explore the situation, the reservoir has not dried up, the spring under the reservoir is still coming out of the water, the water inside, should be able to last for a month, when the time comes, if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid it will be unbearable, when the time comes, it is really going to go into the deep mountains every day to get water.
Seeing that the matter was over, everyone scattered in twos and threes, and hurriedly returned to the position where they put their buckets, and they all worked hard to get here.
The four of Qin Jiang also returned to their previous positions, and when they saw that the bucket was still standing in place, and the water was fine, they suddenly put their hearts at ease.
For the rest of the journey, everyone walked very silently, heavy panting, accompanied by the whole journey, sweat flowed down the cheeks, gathered at the chin, and finally dripped on the ground, splashing a little dust, but in a few breaths, it was dried by the hot earth, and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone was very tired, no one spoke, even the most energetic children when they first came, now they are all wilting.
The ones who were very favored at home still wanted the adults to carry them back, but the soles of their feet hurt and they didn't want to walk anymore, but without exception, they only switched back to a beating.
This way, they don't want to go, they have to go, who let them cry early this morning, crying dad and calling mother, they have to follow, this time, they have to endure.
Today's parents and elders are rarely pampered for their children, and they don't have that condition, and there is no big difference between the favored and the unfavored.
The heavier the footsteps became, the four of them were better in Qin Xi, after all, some people changed their shoulders and helped pick a section of the road, and the others were miserable, tired enough, and some people even wanted to give up, the water in the reservoir was not dirty, and the muddy smell was the point! As long as you can drink it.
As for the wild ducks swimming in the water, and the children who often soak in the reservoir and play in the water, they can choose to ignore them.
After two more days, the springs of the reservoir will almost all be exposed, and when the time comes, the water in the spring will be much cleaner directly, but everyone is short of water, and when the time comes, they may have to queue up to fetch water at the location of this spring.
There are many people who go to fetch water, and maybe the water in the spring in the reservoir will not last as long as expected.
Now, the people in the village who do not carry water are lying at home, so as not to consume a lot of energy and get hungry quickly.
After all, what I eat every day now is some clear soup and little water, and the food in it is pitiful, and it is digested quickly.
Early in the morning, there were people with baskets and sickles, going to dig wild vegetables and grass roots in the distance, and the food was scarce, so naturally they needed something else to fill in the gap.
The water that was picked up at home was carefully cleaned of the grass clippings and poured into the water tank, which was too hot this day, and a layer of wood was built on the water tank, and the water in it was used for drinking and cooking, and the water for washing dishes and bathing clothes was picked up from the reservoir.
"Whew, it's finally over, I hope it will rain soon, that road is too difficult to walk, I don't want to go there every day to fetch water, it's too far, my feet hurt when I walk."
Tang Ying sat on the small bench, took off her shoes, and after seeing the blisters on the soles of her feet, she couldn't help but hiss: "The soles of my feet are blistered, I knew that I wouldn't be so curious." ”
If you don't follow, you don't have anything to do, and if you go, it's time-consuming, laborious, and laborious, and you're losing a lot.
Although I dislike that the water in the reservoir is stagnant and not clean, it is dirty compared to walking for five or six hours on the mountain road. It's not that it's unbearable.
