Chapter 227 I Am the Well Digger
Chapter 227 I Am the Well Digger
The surface of the land was scorched white, and the seedlings lay flat on the ground.
But it is not dead yet, it is the result of everyone's desperate efforts to protect it.
Qingu took a look and found that all the crops are sweet potatoes and the like. These two crops are relatively drought-tolerant and have high yields, so they are more suitable for planting here.
In addition to the cisterns dug by the Zhong family and others, there are a few more cisterns in the village, which should have been dug after Qingu left.
But now the water in it has basically bottomed out. If it doesn't rain, I'm afraid it will be used up before the crops in the field mature.
So drilling well water is the only solution now.
This time, it took Xiao Z nearly half a day to figure out two places with a lot of water, where drilling wells can get twice the result with half the effort.
In the afternoon, Qingu made the villagers anxious and pointed out those two places.
People immediately picked up their hoes and shovels and started working as if they had seen hope.
You must know that the villages next door can't live happily and are starting to flee. They don't want to leave their homes.
The only way is to do it!
Due to the prolonged drought and the shortage of food, the grass on the ground cannot grow, so now every household has no one to feed poultry and livestock.
Naturally, everyone has not eaten meat for a long time.
Now Qingu's martial arts has also been raised to the level of Houtian, so he went over mountains and mountains, to the depths of the mountains.
After killing two wild boars, they came back and gave everyone a tooth sacrifice.
Uncle Zhong handled it very well, although now everyone is facing a common difficulty - natural disasters.
However, it is still necessary to settle the accounts clearly, otherwise it will cause favors and feuds.
This is what Qingu got back, so it naturally belongs to her private property.
If you want to eat meat, you can exchange it with food or other corresponding things. If you don’t have it, you can keep it on account. In short, there is no free food.
Let's talk first and then don't mess up.
Two days later, the two wells were dug for less than five meters, and the soil was very wet. After ten meters, water gradually seeped out.
People were ecstatic, and regarded Qingu as a lucky star.
Because the two wells produce a lot of water, they can barely support irrigation and drinking in the village.
The neighboring villages heard that Qingu had the ability to "see wells", so they came to find him one after another.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Qingu has no reason to retreat.
It's just that there is a pain in my heart - my soul stone.
So in the next few months, Qingu was invited by people to show everyone the well.
With the help of well water, this area, which was originally the hardest hit, did not experience a large-scale population loss.
Three years later, the climate gradually improved and everything on the earth recovered.
People finally survived the most difficult three years of natural disasters.
With patriotism, Qingu traveled almost half of the great rivers and mountains, and saw more customs and customs, and the appearance of all living beings in the face of disasters.
Qingu's temperament has become more stable, and Aiguo has also improved a lot in recent years, becoming more cheerful and sensible.
Back in the village again, people are still grateful for the things that Qingu led everyone to dig the reservoir and well.
However, because of the issuance of the New Deal, there are many policies that benefit the people, which greatly mobilize people's enthusiasm.
So people have put all their energy and attention into the construction of a new life, how can they have so much time to pay attention to a certain person's affairs?
So in many story books, it seems that everyone is doing things against a certain person, which is just wishful thinking. How can people come to find fault with you all day long? !
Qingu knows that the past few years have changed a lot, and the whole country is transitioning smoothly and thriving.
From people's point of view, she was just a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and it happened to be a drought, so she just happened to have the ability to look after a well when she dug a reservoir.
She thought about the entrusted task carefully, and felt that she had basically passed all the hurdles, and asked Little Z that the task in the contract and the entruster's hidden wish had been fulfilled.
But why hasn't the requester's wish to return to his body been heard yet?
Because Xiao Z said that if the client is unwilling to return to his body, the tasker wants to return to his space-time hut after the contract task is completed, or live until the end of his life.
Or - die.
That's right, only when this body dies can her soul come out of the body and return to the hut.
It's just that in this way, the relatives of the client will lose their loved ones again (they didn't even know the client was dead last time), not only will they have to bear great pain, but they may also encounter great difficulties in their next life. difficulty.
Just like the patriotism of a half-grown child, like the mother of Zhong who has gradually aged and lost her labor force, they all need someone to take care of them.
After all, for a contract, Qingu has devoted a lot of energy to this task, and he has also devoted his efforts and affection to the people in this world (the key is so many soul stones), so it would be a bit anticlimactic to directly "die" like this.
(Little Z: The more you invest, the more reluctant you are)
In any case, let's wait for another two years, when the child is a little older and can be completely independent, or when Mother Zhong dies.
After Qingu returned to the village, he worked every day from sunrise to sunset, practicing martial arts and studying medicine as before.
Then there is reading.
From Jianghu anecdotes to orthodox history books, etc., read them all to enrich your own experience.
"Zhong Yuxiu" is now a divorced woman in her thirties with a child, but she is still very popular.
Because during Qingu's return home, enthusiastic people came to her door from time to time to say goodbye to her.
It is deeply rooted in the belief that a woman still has to be married to be married.
In the past, people thought that children were a drag on remarriage, but now children are very capable, able to diagnose diseases, and very sensible.
Such a child will be very respected even if he becomes a doctor in the future.
As for Qingu himself, although he is in his thirties, he looks very young and healthy. Not only can he become an expert at home after marrying him, but it is not impossible to raise another child or two.
However, if you wait any longer at this age, you will be really old, and you will really not be able to get married, and no one will want it.
This is how people evaluate Qingu's current conditions.
Heh, what about "can't get married" and "no one wants"... With her ability, does she still need "someone wants"?
Qingu has no interest in any marriage proposal, which makes Zhong's mother very anxious.
She feels that she is getting old now, and she always wants to see her daughter get married and have someone to rely on before she can rest assured.
Qingu just smiled, this is the most essential thing in life.
Qingu didn't want to get married again, but she didn't refute everyone's "pertinent" evaluation of her.
This is the reality: when others "like" you, it must be because you have something that others need or want.
Obviously, my current value in the eyes of these people is: the oil bottle I bring is not the oil bottle; I can work; I can have children... Of course, it also includes Qin Gu's hard-working personality and so on.
Otherwise, what would a farmer do if he married you, a divorced woman with children? Do you really think there is "true love" written by those literati? Give me a break.
