Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 11 Finding Water
  It wasn't until the evening that the old party secretary took Sun Tiaotiao and sent Dudu back.

Judging from Dudu's appearance, he obviously had a lot of fun today.

"Do you still want to come back? If you come back so late in the future, I won't give you food."

Seeing Dudu being sent back, Zhang Guihua drooped her face.

However, her anger was obviously not directed at Dudu, but rather meant to criticize Sang and Huai.

"Ms. Xiangyang, you don't have to do any work, Dudu has eaten at my house."

The old party secretary didn't seem to hear anything and didn't regard himself as an outsider. After entering the room, he found a stool and sat down.

As for Dudu, he seemed to realize that he was coming back late, so he seemed a little timid and kept pushing towards Sun Xiangyang.

"It's okay, dad is here."

Sun Xiangyang rubbed the little guy's head, and the latter's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although she didn't speak, Sun Xiangyang received another piece of experience from her, not much, only 5 points.

But if you add in the 10 points Sun Tiaotiao provided when he wanted to become a disciple, as well as the points he saved before, it would be exactly 100 points.

Moreover, Sun Xiangyang has a very strong intuition.

The experience points used to find water are enough.

Zhang Guihua ignored the old party secretary at all. When she heard that Dudu had finished eating, she went into the next room.

The old party secretary winked at Sun Xiangyang, and then the two of them came outside.

"Xiangyang, Tiaotiao is still young and ignorant. He pestered you to become a disciple. I have already taught him a lesson. This is a skill passed down in your family. It must be passed on to your son in the future. What your father put in my place, When you have time, go and get it back."

"Old party secretary, you are out of touch when you say this. I think this kid Tiaotiao is smart and will definitely have a big future."

Sun Xiangyang saw that the old party secretary obviously didn't mean what he said.

"You will also be farming when you grow up. What future can you have?"

The old party secretary shook his head. It was not that he was short-sighted, but that it was like this now.

Rat children can dig holes, so what are farmers' children doing if they don't farm?
  Of course, it would be good if you could learn a craft.

The implication is already very clear.

However, Sun Xiangyang did not answer him immediately, but said, "Are you free tomorrow morning? How about we go to the village first?"

"Turn around?"

The old party secretary's eyes suddenly brightened.

"You, you mean..."

"Yes, after two days of raising it, my health is much better, and I have a feeling for the dragon-seeking ruler. I can try it, but I can't guarantee whether I can find it."

Sun Xiangyang is still not sure.

"Okay, I'll take you around the village tomorrow. Don't be too anxious. Even if you can't find it once, we can still look for it a second time or a third time. It's no big deal."

Although the old party secretary was full of excitement, he did not dare to put too much pressure on Sun Xiangyang.

"Then it's agreed, tomorrow morning."

"Okay, it will be tomorrow morning. If you go to bed early tonight, I won't disturb you."

After the old party secretary finished speaking, he shouted into the room, and Sun Tiaotiao ran out.

"walk home."

After the grandfather and grandson left, Sun Xiangyang returned to the cave dwelling and saw Zhang Guihua sitting there, her face was not a face, and her nose was not a nose.

"Did the old party secretary ask you to find a well again? I knew he had no good intentions."

"Mom, it's not easy for the old party secretary, who is very old, and he has taken care of our family these years. I just told him that we will try tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we will forget about it from now on.

And I will definitely not go down the well, I will just stay around and walk around the village. "

Sun Xiangyang explained.

This kind of thing cannot be hidden. Instead of waiting for Zhang Guihua to find out from other places and come back to settle the score with him, it would be better for him to take the initiative to confess.

I don't know which of his words hit the point. This time Zhang Guihua didn't explode. She just left a sentence: Anyway, you have grown up and I can't control you anymore. If you want to do whatever you want, then leave.

Sun Xiangyang understood that his mother had passed this test.

"Can you really find water?"

After all, Chen Shuting couldn't hold it back. She had heard some rumors before, but she didn't believe them at all. In her eyes, they were just the dregs of feudal superstition. But the old party secretary looked at the thatched cottage three times, as if he was sure that Sun Xiangyang could find water. Is this possible?
  After all, in her impression, the old party secretary was not a fool.

"What? Don't believe it?"

Sun Xiangyang did not expect that the always proud Chen Shuting would also be interested in this.

"You're not... fooling the old branch secretary, are you?"

Chen Shuting's eyes widened.

This was the only possibility she could think of. After all, Sun Xiangyang used to study those things at home, and she just felt that they were blabbering and had no basis in scientific theory at all. They were contrary to the knowledge she had received since she was a child.

"Whether I was fooled or not, you will know soon."

Sun Xiangyang didn't explain too much because he couldn't explain these things clearly.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Shuting looked suspicious, but she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went to work.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiangyang went to pick up a load of water as usual and came back. This time it was better than yesterday.

When he came back, he saw the old party secretary waiting in the yard with his hands folded, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

And not only the old party secretary is here, but Sun Tiaotiao is also playing with Dudu.

Grandfather and grandson went into battle together.

"Old Party Secretary, have you eaten?"

Sun Xiangyang poured the water from the bucket into the water tank and asked.

"I've already eaten. You don't have to do the menial work of carrying water. Tiaotiao, go home and ask your father to carry two loads of water here."

The old party secretary didn't give Sun Xiangyang a chance to refute at all, and directly ordered Sun Tiaotiao to go home and call for help.

As soon as the latter heard this, he quickly got up and ran towards home.

"Old party secretary, you really don't need to trouble Brother Enguang. Just two loads of water. I can pick it up myself. I can also exercise."

Sun Xiangyang got up early not just to fetch water.

On the road earlier, he consumed the 100 experience points he had finally accumulated, and a simple map appeared in his mind. There were two red dots, one representing him and the other representing the location of the well.

As long as he moved, the red dot belonging to him would move with him, and he could easily find the place to drill the well.

Although he found it, he wasn't too happy because he didn't 'like' the location.

But the problem is that all the experience points have been consumed and it is impossible to return them to him. It will definitely be much more difficult to accumulate 100 points again than before.

"What kind of trouble is this? It's all work anyway, even if you work for the production team, but it's not work if you work for the members' families?"

The old party secretary felt that the scale was a bit crooked.

Sun Xiangyang didn't correct him either.

Anyway, the location for digging the well has been found, so we just need to take the old party secretary for a walk around the village.

"Okay, I'll have a bite to eat and then we'll go."

Sun Xiangyang put down the pole, washed the handle, then went into the house to drink a bowl of millet porridge and nibbled on a steamed bun.

It is simply unrealistic to expect a luxurious breakfast. Even during lean periods, we only eat two meals a day, one dry and one thin.

After he came out, he saw that Sun Tiaotiao had returned and continued to play with the glass ball with Dudu.

The old party secretary had a cigarette bag in his hand, and he was squatting there smoking one after another.

When he saw Sun Xiangyang coming out, he immediately stood up and looked at him eagerly.

"I am full?"

"Well, let's go."

Sun Xiangyang raised the Xunlong Ruler in his hand.

This was a prop he used to find water, and also to deceive others.

At least with this thing, he can pull out a lot of specious theories, which makes it easier to win the trust of others than empty talk.

　I finally signed the contract, thank you readers for your great support, and thank you for the recommendation.
