Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 189 189 There is really water!

Uncle Liu led Jiang Hu out to find other people, Er Niang also followed, and of course Xiaomi, who likes to join in the fun, was indispensable.

Seeing that they were all going, Xiaoxue followed, and Aunt Yang Qixi...

Originally, Jiang Hu and Liu Bo were alone, but now everyone went together.

When a group of people went out, some villagers had already come over carrying hoes and shovels, and the village chief was also there, as if looking for where to put the shovel.

Jiang Hu quickly walked a few steps: "Village chief, wait a minute, Uncle Liu said that no water can be dug here, let's find another place."

Jiang Hu's voice was so loud that almost everyone looked over.

Uncle Liu is considered a celebrity in Fu'an Village. Although he has not been here for a long time and rarely walks around the village, everyone knows him.

The largest family in the town, his son is doing big business in the county, the Liu family that almost no one in the town dares to offend!

Even if there were those who were muttering in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything, but they all looked at the village chief.

The village head was also taken aback, then stepped forward a few steps: "Master Liu?"

Although everyone knows Uncle Liu, but since Uncle Liu rarely wanders around the village, not many people know him.

Coupled with the fact that he is now wearing cheap coarse linen, it is even more impossible to get in touch with Mr. Liu, the largest householder.

At this time, several people had already walked to the front of the crowd, and Jiang Hu nodded.

"Uncle Liu knows the art of public opinion, and often helps people see land and build houses. I think we can listen to Uncle Liu's advice."

After hearing Jiang Hu's explanation, everyone was in awe, and the way they looked at Uncle Liu changed.

If we were talking about the timidity of the rich master before, then first of all, we were looking at the respect of those with great ability.

The art of geomantic omen, that is a great skill that even the rich can't learn!
Uncle Liu waved his hand: "I only know a little superficial, but what Xiao Jiang said just now is correct, no water can be dug here, I can be sure of that."

The village chief quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "Master Liu, what do you say, can I trouble you to clarify our doubts?"

Behind Uncle Liu's hands, he looked like a tall man. Although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, his demeanor was natural. No one dared to underestimate him.

"Let's just talk about what everyone can see. Look at this area, it is very dry. I remember that when the vegetation and crops were dry, this area was the first and most obvious, right?"

"Ah..." The village chief hesitated.

The Jiang family lived here, and other people rarely came here unless they were looking for Jiang Hu or doing work, let alone observing when the vegetation withered so badly.

"Yes, that's it."

Erniang suddenly made a sound, which surprised everyone, and all of them looked over at the same time.

Erniang was not like Jiang Hu, who drove an ox cart through the village every day, and occasionally brought people back from the town to the village, so she was still very familiar with the villagers.

She is usually familiar with Wang Xiang and a few other aunts in the village, and she rarely goes to the village. At most, she talks to the people in the nearby fields when she is working in the field.

However, unless the farming season is busy, Jiang Hu usually grabs the work in the field. She is always busy in the front and back of the house, taking care of the children and other things.

So at this moment, being stared at by those people in surprise or curiosity, Er Niang just shivered and hid behind Jiang Hu involuntarily.

Jiang Hu was also surprised, but his first reaction was to directly hold Erniang's hand, blocking the sight of those people.

"My second mother is timid, don't scare her."

"Ahem," the village chief gave a fake cough twice, reminding everyone not to watch it any more.

"Why are you so excited, let Erniang talk slowly, don't worry, anyway, we have nothing to do now, so we came to dig the pond."

Jiang Hu also squeezed Erniang's hand, signaling her not to be nervous.

"Erniang is mostly busy at home, and she is careful. It's normal to find something, unlike me, who is careless and careless, and didn't pay attention to it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and still blocked more than half of his sight: "Er Niang, have you seen the situation that Uncle Liu said? Don't be afraid, just speak slowly."

Xiaomi also leaned over to her mother: "Mother, you are so amazing, no one has noticed it, only you have discovered it."

Xiaoxue next to her didn't quite understand the situation, but it didn't stop her from nodding vigorously, saying that Xiaomi was right!Niangqin is the best!
The husband and child really calmed Erniang's nervous mood, and she relaxed a lot.

"Didn't the family still raise pigs before? I came to feed the pigs every day, and I found that this piece of thatch was the first to die. When this piece of grass was dry, other places were still a little green."

As for others, I don't know.

Uncle Liu stroked his beard to draw everyone's attention to him.

"That's true. I went up the mountain in the morning and found that the mountain is almost a big rock. Did you find it near the pool?"

"Because it is a stone, the water vapor under the stone does not dry so quickly, and because it is a stone, the vegetation on it is the first to wither."

"This place happens to be at the foot of the mountain. If my guess is correct, this stone must not be found on the mountain. That's why it's useless to dig a pond in this area."

After Uncle Liu finished speaking, other people also looked at each other. The village head continued to ask: "Master Liu, what advice do you have? Can you give us some guidance?"

Uncle Liu didn't hold back: "I was on the mountain just now, and I did see a little bit. Come with me."

After saying that, Uncle Liu turned around and left, saying that he would show them where they could dig a pond.

The village chief hurriedly asked everyone to follow.

Jiang Hu held Erniang with one hand and Xiaomi with the other, and Xiaoxue hurried over to hold her mother, and the whole family followed.

On the way, he ran into Jiang Yu Liu Hai's children, and Liu Yang's family, who also followed in a mighty way.

Liu Yang was busy with his second child at home just now, it was a bit late, and now that he heard what happened, he praised his sister-in-law for being careful and Uncle Liu for being amazing.

The originally slightly tense and silent atmosphere was dispelled by Liu Yang in an instant.

The village head secretly praised Liu Yang in his heart. This guy is still very useful at critical moments.

Everyone followed Uncle Liu, but they didn't go very far. They reached the other side of Jiang's house and walked another hundred meters.

Uncle Liu made a big gesture.

"This one, I first came to Fu'an Village. Although I don't often walk around the village, I have seen it near Jiang's house."

"The vegetation in this area is the last to show signs of decline. Although it is not very obvious, from the perspective of the mountain, this area is relatively low. If you want to dig a pond, this area is the most suitable."

This area is not close to the foot of the mountain, it is between the mountain and the river, and it is also in the middle of the gathering place of the Jiang family and other villagers.

There is only one piece of cultivated land here, and the rest is wasteland.

Coincidentally, the piece Liu Uncle pointed to happened to be the land that had just been reclaimed.

"Isn't this the lotus pond of Brother Jiang's house? It was dug out by someone just a few years ago."

Jiang Hu nodded: "It was also the place that Uncle Liu pointed out to me before. He said that this piece of vegetation is lush and there is plenty of water below, which is just right for planting lotus roots."

That being said, it was just right.

Everyone looked at the village chief in unison.

Now it's difficult. Originally, I just found a place to dig a pond. Anyway, I just have nothing to do and pass the time.

Fortunately, I was instructed by an expert to find the most likely place to dig the water source, but this place...

It belongs to the Jiang family!
Even though everyone didn't have much contact with the Jiang family on weekdays, it was mainly due to the fact that the Jiang family couple didn't go around the village very often.

But this doesn't stop everyone from taking a fancy to Little Lucky Star. Regardless of how the village chief bluffed outsiders before, in their hearts, Little Lucky Star's weight is not light at all!

Now if he directly seized the Jiang family's land, what if he was retribution or not blessed by the lucky star?
Xiaomi was thinking about how to get everyone to choose this place, but don't change places just because of her scruples.

Just as she was thinking about it, Jiang Yu suddenly pulled his parents' arms.

"Father, mother, if we dig this place into a big pond, will it still belong to our family? Can we raise ducks and geese?"

Although Jiang Yu was young, he knew everything he needed to know, and he knew what was going on right now.

He didn't think about not allowing others to move his land, he just wanted to know, if a pond is dug, is it still his land?
This newly reclaimed land has already been issued a title deed.

As for the pond beside the lotus pond?
Jiang Yu didn't think too much about it, he just remembered what Xiaomi and Tie Dan said before, the ducks and geese had grown up a lot, and the canal was a bit small.

If there is a big pond at home, how many ducks and geese can be raised?And it's even closer.

Jiang Hu also looked at the village chief. He really couldn't say anything about it.

The village chief also looked pensive, but he didn't think for long: "Xiao Jiang, can you see if this works."

"Anyway, this pond is dug everywhere. Mr. Liu said that this place is the most likely to find water. We believe Mr. Liu."

"Even if the water source is dug out of this pond, it still belongs to your Jiang family. No matter what you do in the future, the villagers are not allowed to have any objections."

The crowd began to make noises, very small and inaudible.

The village chief continued: "Just one thing, it's fine if it's a normal day, but in the current situation, if our village wants to use water, you can't stop it."

If there is a private pond, there are still many advantages. It will cost a lot of money to find someone to dig one.

The village chief said this for the sake of future disasters like this one.

Jiang Hu nodded without hesitation: "Although this land belongs to my family, everyone dug the pond together. Everyone can use the water in it, which is natural."

It didn't cost much to dig the lotus ponds left and right, and now they have a pond for nothing. After all, the Jiang family is actually taking advantage of it.

Of course, other people are not at a loss. They dig left and right, and it’s fine if they don’t dig out the water source. If they do, it will definitely solve the urgent need.

Following the order of the village chief, dozens of people immediately mobilized, hoes and baskets went into battle, and the soil dug out was carried to the nearby wasteland.

As the saying goes, steamed buns are delicious when there are few people, but work is easier when there are many people. In just one hour, the lotus pond will be deeper.

But after one day, the lotus pond is as tall as half a person.

At this time, the bottom has become rocks and soil together, and digging is slow.

It's not rush harvesting now, you don't need to work so hard, take a break when you are tired, and continue digging when you have enough rest.

The village also organized a few women in good health to go to the mountain to keep watch and fetch water.

The requirements are not high, and it is enough to collect the water that everyone digs ponds to drink every day. At least, this can reduce the consumption of stored water at home.

As the pond was dug little by little, the soil under the ground was no longer dry and hard, but gradually became moist.

All are highly motivated.

Fewer and fewer people came to fetch water from the mountain pond at the back of Fu’an Village. Sometimes they came and asked the women in the village to fetch water for them, and they would also help with picking soil and digging mud for a while.

Everyone was looking forward to digging out water, and even people from other villages specially invited Mr. Liu to help them look at the land, and wanted to try digging a pond.

Uncle Liu did not refuse, but he also said that whether it can be dug out depends on God's will. It doesn't mean that if he says it can be dug, water will be dug out.

Uncle Liu confiscated those people's money, just to help out as a friend, everyone listened to it if they wanted to, and he didn't care if they didn't like to listen.

Half a month passed in a flash, and it was already the end of the first month.

If it were previous years, everyone would be busy pulling weeds from the rapeseed and wheat fields, but now, even the sorghum has begun to wilt.

It still hasn't rained.

Even the people who dug the pond had long passed the initial excitement period, and now they have become sluggish, and there is even less communication.

The pond is not straight up and down, but has a funnel-like shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

And people are also divided into three shifts, a group of twenty people, one group a day.

Today happened to be Jiang Hu and his group, including Liu Yang and Li Sheng, who had the best relationship with the Jiang family.

The three of them were digging below, and when they encountered rocks, they had to move out, shovel the mud into baskets, and someone would pick it out and throw it away.

"Brother Jiang, it's been so deep for so long, and I haven't seen water yet. Is there any water here?"

Liu Yang stamped the shovel on the ground and sighed while supporting the shovel. For the past half month, he had been digging the soil every day, and he hadn't washed his face or bathed yet, so his whole body was smelly.

With a shovel, Jiang Hu shoveled the mud into the bamboo basket next to him, and then stopped: "The mud has become more and more moist these days, and it may really dig water."

He couldn't believe what he said.

The mud is indeed wet, but it has been like this for several days, but after several days, there is no change at all.

Li Sheng next to him went down with a hoe again: "Otherwise... what the hell! Water! There is really water!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a small stream of water overflowed from the place dug by the hoe, a small stream, not as big as peeing!
But this is water!

"What? Really dug it out?"

"It's really water! We got it, we got it!"

The people next to him all gathered around.

"Quickly dig, hurry up, here is where Li Sheng dug, dig bigger!"

"I got water! I got water!"

"There's water! We've got water!"

Huge cheers and jumps spread throughout the entire Fu'an Village in an instant!

In an instant, almost everyone in the village, old and young, ran out of the house, even the sixty-year-old man was running like flying!
