Chapter 135

The Xu family has nothing to bring. Xu Ying doesn't go back, so she lives here in Xu Qing.

There are two more people in the family. Except when they eat, they are more lively than usual.

It's hot outside. Xu Qing only lets his three children stay in the house until it's dark.

After resting at home for two days, Li Changting had enough energy and energy. Then he went up the mountain to Huohuo Huo small animals. Finally, he had fresh meat to eat at home.

Now the surrounding mountains are short of water. Many large animals have long left to look for water. There are only some rabbits and pheasants left on the mountain, and they are all thin.

"I don't know how Xiao Pang is now?" Speaking of the mountain, Xu Qing suddenly thought of Li Changting's big tiger.

"Xiao Pang has left."

"Ah?" Xu Qing was surprised.

"Literally, I came back three days late to look for it. I didn't find it. Its cave hasn't been active for more than three months. It seems that it left a long time ago." Li Changting explained.

Xu Qing guessed: "it may be looking for a female tiger. Didn't you say Xiao Pang is an adult?" He said with a sigh, "I hope it can survive the drought."

"There are many undiscovered karst caves and lakes in the deep mountains and forests. Animals are very sensitive to water sources. They may be better off than us, and it is unknown." Li Changting road.

Xu Qing can't help but be glad that she has a space and doesn't lack food. Compared with other people, she is so lucky.

Seven days later, the seedlings in the space had grown as long as the palms. Xu Qing and Li Changting spent half a night transplanting all the seedlings into the paddy field without fertilizing.

The next day, good news came from the foot of the mountain. Water was dug out from one of the deep wells!

As soon as the news came out, the whole village cheered up and ran around.

There were too many onlookers. Xu Qing and Li Jinmei craned their necks on the outside and couldn't see the inside.

"How deep is it?" Asked Xu Qing.

"I heard it's sixty feet." Li Jinmei said.

Xu Qing converted, nearly 20 meters deep!

At this time, the expectant voice in the crowd suddenly became restless.

"Why is the water so muddy?"

"Nonsense, the water of the newly dug well is muddy!"

"A group of ignorant people, when they come tomorrow morning, the water in this well will be clear!" The man who dug the well said with a smile.

The joy of digging water makes everyone excited. They just wait to drink clean well water tomorrow. Although the well here has been drilled out, one well may not be enough for the whole village, and the other well still needs to be dug.

On the way back, Xu Qing said, "you say it's hard to get a good idea of the water vein. Why don't you dig more wells? Every family digs wells, so you can always dig one?"

Li Jinmei said with a smile: "well can't be dug at will. It's very particular! If you dig wrong, you will break your own fortune. "

Xu Qing wants to say that you are a feudal superstition, but she can't bend her thin arm over her thigh, so she doesn't explain.

The next morning, everyone gathered near the new well and asked if there was any water below.

Because the well is too deep to see clearly with the naked eye, it can only be seen by a man digging the well.

More than 20 meters long rope tied to the bucket to go down together, the draughtsman obviously felt the bucket became heavy, carefully lifting the bucket up.

Everyone came to have a look. The fruit in the bucket is much clearer than yesterday.

"Can I have a drink?" Someone asked.

"Drink you are not afraid of diarrhea, boiled drink again!" The draughtsman laughed.

"Let's cook here. Let's drink together. I'm dying of thirst!"

This proposal got everyone's approval. Several men set up a fire neatly, and the water in the pot soon boiled.

At this time, the man in the well also climbed up, his face was not very good, and said, "the water below is a little shallow, only as deep as my little arm."

An old man said, "it's OK. It's the reason why we don't dig deep enough. We should pump up all the water in the well. If there is no water, we can dig deep enough."

The man frowned and nodded: "OK!"

Xu Qing visited nearby and found that they used one meter long thick wooden piles to lay down the shaft wall layer by layer to prevent the shaft wall from collapsing.

The stakes are tightly tied, thick and strong, and it's convenient for people to go down. This is a good way, but it costs too much wood.

On that day, several men worked together to dig two meters deeper.

The next day, when I went to see the fruit, it was much deeper. The water from the soil below was only one meter deep in one night.

The patriarch asked everyone to stop work for one day, and then we'll see how much water can rise out of the well.

But many families are already short of water. They can't wait.

The one meter deep water is only a few to each person's mouth. Everyone is thirsty, and the patriarch can't stop people from drinking water. Finally, we'd better give up. We'll bring up all the water and share it with each household nearby.Those men who dig wells are given priority. They have worked so hard for a long time. Even if they get more points, we have no opinion.

Li Jinmei goes over with two pots and helps Xu Qing get half of the water.

Cao Laoliu used to make a lot of wooden casks with covers. Now Li Jinmei still has a lot of water in her house, but she won't be polite about her share.

The water is a little muddy. Xu Qing doesn't want it. Li Jinmei doesn't dare to drink it either. She just boils the water to wash things.

I thought we could finally not be afraid of no water to drink, but the next day, suddenly some people in the village began to vomit and diarrhea.

Everyone thought that there was something wrong with the well water. However, it was strange that most villagers drank the well water. Why did only some people vomit and diarrhea?

What's more strange is that these sudden cases are concentrated in one place, that is, in the west of the village, where there are more than a dozen families. There are old people or children in the family who are sick, and even young people feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

The barefoot doctor went to see a few doctors. Less than half an hour later, he ran back with a pale face.

He did not dare to make a public statement, but ran to the patriarch's house and asked for help: "plague! It's the plague!!! What can we do? "

The patriarch was so scared that he almost lost his footing: "what do you say? Are you sure? "

"More than a dozen people have the same symptoms, much like the plague in the countryside ten years ago, but it's different from plague. I I'm not sure. I'm just a doctor in the middle But I'm sure it must be a plague, otherwise there could not have been so many people at the same time

The patriarch took a deep breath and asked seriously, "have you seen all of them?"
