Chapter 173: A spring has come out of the mountain

If you want to say that the happiest thing in the village during this time, in addition to the fact that every household has chased fertilizer in the field and waited for this year's harvest, that is, the Wen family has begun to recruit workers again.

Compared with the previous two times, the person who signed up for the Wen family's recruitment this time said that after all, everyone now knows that the Wen family's work is easy to do, and the treatment is not bad.

But this time, the Wen family cleaned up the barren mountain, and there were not so many people available, and in the end, only twenty people were selected, most of whom had helped build houses and dig ponds before.

Wen Laohan handed over the land to Wen Erye to watch, and he was responsible for staring at the barren mountains and clearing the wasteland.

Although this mountain is not a big mountain, it is not short, the mountain is overgrown with weeds, the trees are messy, not only to remove those weeds, but also to cut down trees, and some flat places have to be opened into land.

Wen Xiuyi except for the first two days in the study to plan the barren mountain, he was dragged up the mountain by the old man Wen to work, and none of the three brothers of the Wen family ran away.

After a few days, Wen Xiuyi felt that his old arms and legs were about to break, but he didn't dare to be too lazy when he saw that everyone else was in full swing, after all, if he was lazy, he would have to suffer from the soles of Wen Laohan's shoes.

"Wen Xiucai, I'm here to help again."

On this day, Wen Xiuyi carried a hoe up the mountain as usual, and there was still a plaster that Wen Yao bought on his shoulder.

As soon as he reached the mountain, someone greeted him.

Looking at his dress, and then looking at the calluses on his hands, Wen Xiucai and Wen Xiuyi wondered if it was him.

"Ah, yes." Can you not come? The old man is watching from a short distance.

Looking at the few large stones buried in the soil in front of them, their task today is to level this one and see if these stones can be taken away.

Wen Xiuyi sighed deeply and began to wave the hoe in his hand resignedly.

First clean up all the weeds in this area, and the rest of the work is simple, everyone can be regarded as taking care of Wen Xiuyi, after all, it is the owner, so the place with the least weeds on the big stone side is assigned to Wen Xiuyi.

Originally, there was nothing, but when he finished this piece and was about to go around to the other side of the mountain rock to continue, he didn't pay attention to the one under his feet, and was directly tripped by a protruding stone and a dog gnawed mud.

"Ouch, Wen Xiucai." The people working around exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran over to check if he was okay.

The old man Wen who was not far away saw that there was a pile here and hurriedly walked over, and just wanted to scold who was lazy, he saw his eldest son sitting on the ground, covered in mud, and had a big bag on his head.

"What's going on?" Wen Laohan was very nervous, after all, the boss's brain is good now, don't break it.

"Why is this such a big bag, hurry up, don't do it yet, hurry up and take a look." Wen Laohan stretched out his hand to help Wen Xiuyi.

Wen Xiuyi sat on the ground and didn't move, his brain was buzzing, and it took a long time to recover, and when he touched it, he had a big bag.

He shook his head: "Dad, I'm fine, just sit slowly." ”

Looking at the tip of the stone that only protruded about ten centimeters, Wen Xiuyi was called a hate, but it hurt him to death.

Wen Laohan was relieved to see that he was talking quite normally, but he was still a little worried.

"You go home first." Wen Lao Han said.

Wen Xiuyi rubbed his head, he really wanted to go home and lie down, but he glanced at the stone that was pestled there alone, worried that he would trip over the others later.

Wen Xiuyi spoke: "Don't be busy, Dad, let's chisel this stone first, and then trip over others later." ”

Wen Laohan looked at the culprit and nodded: "Then let's get this first, are you really okay?" ”

"I'm fine, Dad, it's just that my head is a little dizzy, just take a break." Wen Xiuyi said and touched his head, don't knock out a concussion, fortunately he fell to the flat ground, on a small stone, if he fell on the big stone, the melon seeds would bloom.

Wen Laohan gave an order, and immediately someone came over with a hoe and began to pull around the stone, and saw if the stone was big, if it was not big, it would be chiseled and taken away, if it was dug down half a meter and it was still a stone, then maybe the stone was connected to the mountain, and it could only be chiseled flat without affecting walking.

Fortunately, after digging less than half a meter, I saw the bottom of the stone.

Everyone found tools and began to pry.

Just listen to the rhythmic hey, hey, hey, and the stone slowly loosens.

"Be careful, don't roll down the hill and hit people." Wen Laohan made an observation and left the rolling route of the stone.

Since the stone is moving, it is easy to do, and in order to prevent the stone from rolling down the mountain and hitting people, it has to be chiseled on the mountain.

There was another clattering smash, and the stone was broken into countless pieces, which were slowly removed, and then the soil that had just been dug up was filled in.

"Huh? You see. Suddenly, the man who was about to fill in the earth screamed.

Everyone gathered around, and they saw that the soil in the big pit that had just been a stone was slowly getting wet.

When the old man Wen looked at this battle, he didn't understand anything.

"Keep digging."

As the soil was dug more and more, it became more and more humid, and the water could be seen.

Eventually, when I dug up a place close to the rocks, more and more water was able to be stored in the pit.

"It's a mountain spring." Someone was surprised.

Wen Laohan was also surprised, after living here for so many years, he had never heard that there was a mountain spring on the barren mountain in the back of the mountain, that is, occasionally in the rainy season, there would be a few wisps of small stream water flowing down the mountain, but once the rainy season passed, it was gone.

After so many years, no one thought that there would be a mountain spring on this mountain.

Wen Laohan was a little excited, with a mountain spring, can this mountain still be a barren mountain? Where there is water, the mountain lives.

After being in a daze for a while, there was already a lot of water in the pit.

"I'm afraid that the stone from before happened to press on the spring, and if we get the stone away, the spring will loosen and the water will come out." Someone said.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Wen Xiuyi, this person fell and fell out of a spring.

That's fate.

If this spring had been dug up earlier, this mountain would not have been a barren mountain.

It didn't take long for Wen Laohan and them to dig up stones and dig out the mountain spring all over the mountain, and everyone ran curiously to see the mountain spring that suddenly appeared.

The pit has been filled with water, cool to the bottom, some people are curious to take a sip, the entrance is sweet, but also cold and cold, in such a weather to drink, it is really refreshing.

Strange to say, as long as the pit is full, the water does not continue to come out, and then scoops off the water and begins to continue to come out again until the pit is full and stops.

People were amazed, and even a great professor like Wen Xiuyi could not explain this phenomenon, after all, he was a farmer, not a geologist.
