Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao rode on his horse to watch the scouts returning from the horse race, and asked happily, "Have you found water?"

Nie Canjun and more than 100 people stared at him with bright eyes. The scouts were about to cry. Why did he come back to report the letter? He didn't want to come back, but he still had to say: "No... water."

Man Bao expressed doubts, "Is there no water? Didn't you say there is a river in front of you?"

The heavy rain also came right away, Zhanmu looked at it, although the sand dunes always changed, but some places did not change, he felt that the dry and ugly tree in the distance was very familiar, so he said: "Just Right in front, that river ditch is not very small, your eyes are so bad, you can't find it?"

The scout and Nie Shenjun said, "Sir, you will know when you see it, there is no water in it."

Everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts, so they let the team speed up.

Gradually descending the sand dunes, the dry old trees not far away became more and more obvious. Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other, kicked the horse's belly, and rushed to the front, intending to see it first.

Seeing them run away, Bai Erlang immediately shouted, "Wait for me, I'm going too!" Then he ran after him.

Nie Canjun was also curious, and there was no one in the four fields, so he simply followed behind.

When they reached the edge of a gully that was obviously a ravine, several people looked at a scout standing on the ground and were speechless for a while.

The scout who ran after him immediately said, "Look, sir, that's it."

This is a gully where it is obvious that water once flowed, because the gravel and soil below are not completely the same as the yellow sand next to it, and it has traces of water flowing and scouring.

But now there is nothing.

No, it was still there. The gravel and silt were still a little wet. The scout left behind took a knife and dug a hole the size of a head. Now there is a little water in it.

The scout said naively: "Sir, although it is small, it is still a little bit, even if we don't drink it for the horses."

Nie Canjun was sad.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were also sad and speechless.

Man Bao almost burst into tears, "Keke, is this the water you're talking about?"

"Well," Keke saw that the host seemed to be really about to cry, so he said, "If the host is not satisfied with the surface water, he can also use the groundwater."

Man Bao's tears were brushed away, and he asked in his heart, "Where is the groundwater?"

The groundwater is naturally underground, but it is a matter of opinion as to how deep you need to dig. If you find a suitable place, you will come out after digging a few meters.

But Keke obviously won't be embarrassed, so he pointed her to a place.

Just as he was pointing, the convoy also arrived. Yin or the others got off the carriage, walked to their side and looked down at the gully together, also speechless.

After looking at it, Mr. Zhuang looked up at the sky and said, "Let's stay here tonight, and let's discuss what to do."

Everyone should get down.

Man Bao said: "We can dig underground water."

She said: "Didn't we ride horses to chase the place where the lake water disappeared when we were in the town? Didn't it mean that the last place it disappeared was underground? There should also be groundwater here."

Everyone followed the gully and looked into the distance, while Bai Shan looked at the underground of the gully, squinted and asked, "Then you say, will there be groundwater under the gully?"

Naturally, there are, but according to Keke, the water here is deeper, and it is not as good as the other side.

So after the team was stationed, the soldiers took their swords and went to dig holes in the gully. Just as the scout said, if you dig, you can get a little water. If they can't drink it, they can give it to the horses and camels. In fact, they are really thirsty. You can drink it, but it's not up to that point yet.

The sun didn't go down, but it wasn't that hot anymore. Man Bao put on his hat, took out his medicine hoe, and called friends, "Let's go, let's go find water."

Mr. Zhuang and Nie Canjun were counting the remaining drinking water, leaving them alone.

The heavy rain led people to join in the fun, and when he saw them riding their horses towards the distance, he pulled his own horse to follow, and after crossing a dune to a valley, he took a hoe and started beating around. , he couldn't help asking Daji, who was standing by, "You just follow, don't you help?"

Daji stood idle and said, "Don't worry, we'll just protect their safety."

Man Bao was very curious to open the yellow sand with a medicinal hoe. Although this is a valley of sand dunes, it is still yellow sand. Such valleys are not uncommon. Is there really water underneath? ,

Bai Shan and the others were also suspicious, but they had nothing to do. Since Man Bao said that he felt there was water here, let's take a look.

So the six people pulled the sand to one side, exposing the gravel layer below, and then digging with a small hoe, pulling the soil out and stacking it aside, Man Bao hoeed for a while, and when he felt tired, he handed it over to Bai Shan, and Bai Shan relayed, Because he thought that he might have to dig very deep, he hoeed a large piece to the side so that he could dig down for a while.

Bai Erlang and Liu Huan both went to the relay, and Yin He finally hoeed twice out of curiosity. He felt that the task of pushing the dirt they had piled up was suitable for him, so he gave the hoe to Zhou Liru.

It's her turn.

Zhou Liru jumped out of the pit, and as soon as he went down with his hoe, a stream of water sprayed out, directly at her face...

Zhou Li closed his eyes subconsciously, and then his ears were filled with cheering screams from everyone.

When she opened her eyes, she wiped the sand on her face, looked at her front placket, and then looked at the water that shot out. After a while, a lot of water accumulated at the bottom of the pit, and her shoes, socks and pant legs were all washed away. Wet.

Manbao and the others were going to throw the hoeed soil on top, so they also stood at the bottom of the pit and were also wet.

But they are also excited.

A few people didn't go up, just pulled up the hem of the clothes and tied it to the waistband of the trousers, and rolled up the trousers to continue digging, "Open the hole a little more."

Now the water flow has become smaller, but the water still bubbles up from below like a mountain spring.

A few people were working excitedly at the bottom of the pit, and the heavy rain standing beside them opened their mouths in shock, only to close their mouths after a long while, exclaiming: "Did the water really come out?"

Daji was only shocked for a moment, then turned his head and ordered a guard, "Go back and tell them that water has been dug up here, and ask them to bring the water car over to fill it up."

"Yes."

When Nie Canjun and the others arrived in a hurry, what they saw was a pit of water and a few people laughing and laughing in the water.

When he was angry, he immediately carried them up, and then asked the soldiers to go under the tree to bring a few big stones and block the water outlet they had made. Then he rolled up his trousers and went down to clean the bottom of the pit and drain the water. Scoop it out, and then clean up the dirt at the bottom of the pit...

Picked up a bucket of small stones from the river ditch and spread it at the bottom of the pit. After laying it, step on it firmly, and then spread the stones on all sides of the pit. Then slowly pick up a large stone and let the water in it come out.

See you at 6 pm
