Early in the morning, when Su Muyao was still asleep, she heard the sound of someone howling in her yard.

Immediately sat up, "I knew that this group of old women was going to quarrel with my good baby." ”

Wang Taoxiu was angry when she saw her daughter waking up, and she didn't fight anywhere.

The old women in the village thought that the well of the village chief's house was out of water, so they came to the well of Lao Su's house to draw water before dawn.

But the whole village came to pick up two buckets, and just now the water in the well had bottomed out.

"Auntie, I don't sleep and get dressed."

"Dress your baby well".

When Su Muyao got dressed and came out, she saw several old women in the village crying in the yard.

"This well is out of water, and there is no water, and God won't let it live."

There was also a young one on the side, pulling the old lady, "Mother, your voice is quieter, this is in someone's yard."

"Woo woo woo I can't help it, this is no longer alive."

Another old woman also began to chatter.

"The money of this family is not enough to dig a well, even if everyone works together to dig a well, then they can't eat water for two days, how can this be done?"

At this time, the old village chief also walked to Su's house, thinking about what Old Man Su said yesterday.

I also brought my three sons over, thinking that I would go to the mountains to investigate first, and then take the villagers over to start digging if I was sure.

The lack of water is worse than the absence of food.

"Woo, our Taoliu Village won't all starve to death one after another like Mrs. Wang."

"This starvation is uncomfortable, I might as well just find a crooked-necked tree and hang it directly."

There is a lot of noise in the yard, a few old women, how can you die when you talk about it?

As soon as the old village chief came, he heard that these people were starving to death one by one.

The hands of direct anger trembled.

"Then die early and be reincarnated early, those who starve to death first can still have a coffin, and those who starve to death can directly use a straw mat to throw it into a mass grave."

When the already sensitive people heard the words of the village chief, many people panicked.

There were a few old people who were quite old and began to cry when they saw the village chief. "The people of our Taoliu Village have never done anything bad, why does this God punish us like this? What a sin......"

"It's all quiet," the old village chief raised his voice as he stood in the crowd.

"I don't know if God is ruthless, but we give us our own way to live."

Immediately after that, the old village chief had already thought clearly last night, the wild fruits and wild vegetables on this mountain, as well as some pheasants and hares, could all be alive and well, which meant that there must be a water source on this mountain.

Therefore, what Old Man Su said is still well-founded, and now Taoliu Village can only hold on to this hope.

"Now every household still has some water, so let's use me and the Su family brother to go to the mountains to see if there are other water sources, everyone can do whatever they want, don't make noise in the old Su family."

Although Lao Su's family said that there is water on the mountain, it has not been verified yet, and it is better not to reveal too much for the time being, in case it is not good, it will push Xiao Fubao to the cusp.

The old village chief has also been the village chief for more than 30 years, and his prestige in the village is still very strong.

yes, what if you find water? These people who die one by one on their mouths are the most afraid in their hearts.

One after another, people left.

After everyone left, Old Man Su and the village chief waited in the hall for Su Muyao to finish washing up, and went to the mountain to have a look.

I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so I was stuffed with two boiled eggs in my arms by Old Man Su, and I followed the old village chief up the mountain with Su Muyao in my arms.

The youngest son of the old village chief's family looked up at the sky, saw a few white clouds floating in the sky, and asked his father: "Dad, the clouds in the sky are so high, is it going to rain?" ”

For a while, everyone looked up, and there were indeed a few scattered white clouds floating in the sky, which seemed very far away.

After the old village chief looked at it for a while, he sighed leisurely.

"Based on my experience in farming for so many years, it should be another big sun today, and it may be the same in the next few days."

"But the book says that when the clouds get high, it rains, doesn't the book at home say the same?"

The youngest son of the village chief has a lot of trouble, either it is written incorrectly in the book, or his father remembers it wrongly.

"You stupid boy, go home and take a good look, you can't learn anything."

"Fool, learn half-baked water".

Not only did the old village chief count himself, but even the two elder brothers counted down themselves with a word, and they blushed instantly.

After a while, the group came to the ravine of the mountain that the wolf cub had said.

As soon as you walk in, there is a cool water vapor blown by the wind, which is refreshing.

Old man Su strode forward, and when he saw the water slowly seeping out in the middle of the stone wall, the whole person was extremely excited.

The most important thing is that the pool below is full of water.

"There is really water, great, my God, Taoliu Village is finally saved, saved!"

Not only the old man Su who was excited, but the village chief trembled with excitement on the side.

"There was no shortage of water before, and everyone didn't notice that it was fortunate that there was our little Fubao, otherwise I am afraid that at least half of the people would die this year."

Who doesn't know? As long as there is no water or to escape the famine, there are basically few people who can really survive.

When Old Man Su heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "It's a blessing for our village,"

The three sons of the village chief had already stepped forward with shovels on their shoulders, and without saying a word, began to dig.

Only then did a small hole be dug out, and a clear spring gushed out of the ground.

The group drank it and called it a pleasure.

"If you bring this water down the mountain, the rice will be saved."

The old village chief crossed his fingers and calculated according to the normal season, this should be the maturity period of grouting.

But because of the drought for too long, the rice in the village has a wilting and no longer growing.

Now is the time when there is a large need for water, and it is better to divert water down the mountain sooner rather than later, and the village has also been cut off from water.

But now this water source is too far away from the bottom of the mountain, and it takes an hour to go back and forth, and it is impossible to water all the rice fields in a few days, even if people are used as cattle, and this matter is still a bit tricky.

The old village chief took two puffs of dry tobacco, but he thought that he would dig up all the places.

You don't have to worry about water, but how to water the ground is a trouble!

"Grandpa the village chief" Su Muyao called, and the old village chief immediately looked at the little milk dumplings with bright eyes.

He knew that this little lucky star was the most capable, and it was a bit of an idea to call himself designated at this time.

"Obediently, you say, the village chief and grandfather listen."

"Grandpa the village chief, why don't we dig all the way down the mountain, dig a ditch down the mountain, and lead it to the field......"

The old village chief had thought about it, but the distance was even longer than the flood control dam.

When will you get it when you dig into the village?

I listened to the milk dumplings continue: "Although ten miles sounds like a long distance, and it takes half an hour to walk, in fact, as long as these ten miles are divided into countless small sections, it is not a difficult thing for everyone to be responsible for a small section."

"And it's not just our village that's digging it!"
