Chapter 147 The unnamed golden beach
The villagers were all surprised, some were happy, and some felt unsure. They all looked at the Li family, the village chief, and Uncle Zhao.
Sure enough, the village chief refused immediately.
"Mrs. Cui, we know that you have good intentions. Remembering the friendship of supporting each other all the way out of the mountains, you want to take more care of us all. But people, the most important thing is to keep your peace of mind. Needless to say, when everyone arrives at your village, Life will definitely be better than now. But as time goes by, those who are neither masters nor servants will easily break the rules and make us lazy. If someone who is greedy and dissatisfied causes something, we may still be able to survive in the end. It’s going to ruin the relationship.”
"Yes," Uncle Zhao and the others said, "Although this place looks desolate, it was given to us all by the imperial court. As long as we are willing to endure hardship, it will definitely be a good place in two years, enough to support our family." "
“Yes, Mrs. Cui, thank you for your kindness. We will definitely make this place a good place.”
"We will open up wasteland tomorrow and plant food on the hills on both sides. In the autumn, we invite you to be our guest and taste the food and vegetables we grow."
The villagers also spoke one after another, and Mrs. Cui sighed, but they also liked these self-reliant "travel companions" more and more.
Seeing this, Mr. Wen also said, "Well, everyone is busy now. If you need our help, you must say it. Moreover, the farm will not be able to run away. If everyone feels that it is not a good place in the future, we will call you at any time." You can go to the farm again.”
The words were humorous and comfortable to listen to. Everyone laughed and responded one after another.
“Don’t worry, sir, we don’t have any acquaintances here anymore. If anything happens, we will definitely ask sir and Mrs. Cui for help.”
For a while, everyone ate and got new farm tools, and they were all happy.
He didn’t even wait for tomorrow, so he immediately went up to the mountains to open up wasteland.
There are two hills on the east and west. The west hill is relatively barren, with fewer dwarf pines and more weeds.
Hence, everyone planned to conquer from here first.
The new pickaxes and saws are very sharp, and everyone is working enthusiastically to break the tree body and dig out the roots.
Li Laosi relied on his strength and when he encountered a small tree, he simply threw away his pickaxe and started to pick it up.
The side of the cliff near the valley was a little steep, and there were a few small pines growing there, so he tied a rope around his waist and went over to deal with it.
The villagers wanted to help, but they were driven away by him.
Although the cliff is not high, you can still fall if you fall. The fewer people there, the safer it is.
One tree, two trees, three trees. In just half an hour, Li Laosi was almost done.
But when it was the turn of the last tree, this pine tree was particularly strong and refused to leave the embrace of Mother Mountain.
Li Laosi also lost his temper for a moment. He stared at a stone on the edge of the cliff with his hind legs and shook the pine tree vigorously.
As a result, the pine tree was still there, but Li Laosi and the stone fell together with a rumble.
The villagers were startled and ran towards the cliff screaming.
“Lao Si, Lao Si!”
“Pull the rope quickly!”
Li Laosi suddenly burst out laughing at the foot of the cliff, "Hahaha, come and see, we are in luck!"
Everyone hurriedly lay down and tried their best to poke their heads out, and saw that Li Laosi was soaked to the skin. On top of his head, a stream of spring water was pouring down, and there was a steaming mist.
Hot springs! This is a hot spring!
"Ah, hot spring, there is a hot spring!" Everyone was so happy that they threw away their farm tools and wanted to dance.
And everyone in the valley was also stunned with shock.
There was a loud noise just now, and everyone was worried about Li Laosi's safety. Fortunately, he tied a rope.
The next moment, the spring water sprinkled down from the sky, like spring rain all over the sky, but extremely warm.
The young men were crazy with joy and rushed forward with howls and screams, not afraid of getting their clothes wet. The old men and women threw away their work, shouted to the children, and retreated far away, for fear of falling rocks.
Jiayin was originally sitting in Mrs. Cui's arms, listening to Mrs. Cui and her grandma discussing how to put a farm in their name on the pretext of giving her a dowry for this little girl in the future.
But it will be at least fifteen or sixteen years before she gets married, so this is just a trick to give her family a gift.
Of course the old lady can't take it, and the reason is very domineering.
“We Fu Niu are blessed. When she grows up and gets married, the family will definitely be better off, and we will prepare a generous dowry for her.”
Before he could even finish his words, a spring emerged from the originally bare cliff, and it was a hot spring!
Old Mrs. Li snatched her granddaughter, kissed her twice, and almost jumped up with joy.
“I’m right, we Fu Niu are blessed, and we have brought wealth to our family!”
Mrs. Cui was also surprised. She didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, but this was indeed a coincidence.
The good news is also a direct clap of joy, especially the barren gravel beach, because this hot spring will really become a veritable gravel beach in the future!
Li Laosi shouted to the villagers, handed him a drill and a sledgehammer, and rushed around the spring to beat him wildly.
The gravel fell down, and the spring water surged more and more, gradually turning into a waterfall.
The hot spring water falls from a high place, the mist disperses, and half of the valley is like a fairyland on earth.
The spring water washed out a small pool under the cliff, and then overflowed, slowly moving forward and forward along the waterway where summer rains originally flowed all year round, and finally merged into the small river beside Guan Road.
Li Laosi's arms were numb from exhaustion, so he was dragged up the mountain by everyone, and Liu was replaced as the leader to continue digging.
They did not stop until the sun was about to set.
The entire mountain wall has also become a small waterfall.
Everyone gathered in the valley, looking at the waterfall gifted by heaven, and they were silent for a long time.
It was the village chief who took the lead and knelt down, choking and kowtowing.
“Thank you to God for giving us fairy springs and transforming barren beaches into treasured lands. We and future generations will be grateful for God’s kindness throughout our lives!”
The villagers actually don’t know how much they will benefit from this hot spring waterfall in the future.
But they knew that outside of Kyoto, there were also Zhuangzi with hot springs, each of which was more than ten times more expensive than ordinary Zhuangzi.
The barren mountainous land they were assigned must have become valuable because of this hot spring.
Their situation, from this moment on, was completely different.
“Thank God, thank God! Wow, we are finally not afraid of starving to death.”
“He’s saved, and he’ll have a good life in the future!”
Mr. Wen was as happy as the villagers, and he even immediately started planning for the village.
"This hot spring must be protected and not dirty. The water pool under the mountain wall must be expanded to at least two or three acres, which can be used for boating and swimming. The water channel must be built and more bubbles must be built. Hot spring courtyard or cabin "
In the middle of speaking, he actually lifted up his legs and walked away, "I'm going back to the city right now. A good friend of mine is from the Ministry of Works. I'll invite him over early tomorrow morning and ask him to help organize it."
Mrs. Cui didn't stop her, she just said, "Hurry up on the road, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed at this time."
"Okay, just wait for my good news." Mr. Wen, who was usually so steady, almost jumped into the carriage with joy, and quickly ran out of sight.
The villagers were left to eat a random bite of dinner, listening to the sound of rushing water. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep well that night.
Jiayin is also crazy with joy, this is a hot spring.
