Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 187 Panic Explanation
"I really didn't hear anything." Shen Mo was a little flustered. He really didn't hear anything last night. It was rare that it was cool last night. The cool breeze blew on his body, eliminating the heat, and Shen Mo fell asleep long ago.
But if he said he didn't hear it, the villagers around him would definitely not believe it, after all, Shen Mo was the closest person to here.
"Are you sure you didn't hear anything?" Jiang Chuyue observed for a long time. When she saw Shen Mo's face flushed and his panicked explanation when facing the villagers' questioning and misunderstanding, and he kept his head down from beginning to end and dared not look at anyone, she had a guess in her mind.
Either Shen Mo really didn't hear anything as he said, or Shen Mo's acting skills were so great that Jiang Chuyue couldn't even notice anything wrong.
"I really didn't hear it. The weather was good last night, and I had nothing to do, so I fell asleep early." Shen Mo saw that someone finally questioned him without opening his mouth. He subconsciously looked up at Jiang Chuyue, then quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her again.
Jiang Chuyue looked at Shen Mo's frustrated look and didn't know how many useful clues she could get from him.
"About what time did you fall asleep last night?" Jiang Chuyue finally spoke after hesitating.
"I had dinner at home last night, came to the fields to check on the crops and herbs, and went straight to sleep. I don't remember exactly when, but I remember it was already completely dark."
It was summer now and it got dark later. Jiang Chuyue was not sure whether Shen Mo's sleep quality was too good or someone had done something secretly.
"Do you usually sleep soundly?"
"Fortunately, I always fall asleep quickly when I'm tired." Shen Mo didn't expect Jiang Chuyue to ask this kind of question, but because he is now suffering the most suspicion and doubt, he can only rely on Jiang Chuyue to get rid of the suspicion on him, so he naturally tells her everything he knows.
Jiang Chuyue nodded, but did not ask any more questions. She turned around and stepped into the ground, carefully studying the structure near the valve, so as to determine whether the valve was smashed by someone or the marks left by the smash were deliberately forged later.
"Sister Jiang, what's going on? Can it be handled?" The common people depend on the two acres of land for their livelihood. If they can't keep these two acres of land, their harvest for the year will be gone, and they may not be able to survive the winter.
"We have to wait until the village chief and others come back to check on the water situation." Jiang Chuyue knew what everyone was most concerned about.
But this problem is not so easy to solve. In order to make this valve, Jiang Chuyue spent a lot of effort. Relying on the limited conditions provided by the space, he personally forged such a simple version of the valve, but now it is destroyed.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Shen Rong led several villagers down the mountain and headed straight here. When he saw Jiang Chuyue, he quickly explained the situation, "Chuyue, we've checked the mountain spring water. Someone must have tampered with it, otherwise there wouldn't be so little water."
Since the drought, the people in Wanshan Village have attached great importance to the water from mountain springs and underground rivers. One is used for drinking, and the other is used for watering crops in the fields.
But now there is not much water left for drinking, and drinking water has become a big problem for everyone.
"What's the situation over there in the dark river?" Jiang Chuyue was still able to remain calm even at this time.
"Our bamboo poles were all broken, but because the bamboo poles were so long, the man probably didn't have enough time, so he only destroyed a part of them, about 40% to 50%.
Shen Rong took people to check the situation of the water source personally, and as he spoke, he handed out the broken bamboo pole.
Jiang Chuyue took the pieces of paper and studied them for a while, and confirmed that they were all broken by something. It seemed that this person relied on brute force to smash the valve and the connected bamboo pole - the water diversion device.
"How much water is left in the well?" Jiang Chuyue did not inquire why that person took away so much water. The most urgent task now was to solve everyone's water problem.
As for the connection of the bamboo poles and the valve, as long as everyone has the energy, the more than one hundred households in Wanshan Village can work hard and fix it in an afternoon.
"Chu Yue, you have been asking us to store more water in the well. Now the water in the well is enough for our villagers to use for a day." Wanshan Village has a large population, and it is not easy for them to survive for a day.
"It's getting late. Let's prepare something to eat first. After we're full, we'll have to work hard. Please help me fix the bamboo poles that guide the water."
This time, in order to better protect the operation of the bamboo poles, Jiang Chuyue also asked everyone to bury the bamboo poles in the ground and cover the ground with dry grass to prevent those who secretly acted from easily discovering the existence of the bamboo poles.
In order to cover it up, Jiang Chuyue even asked Shen Rong to lead a team to insert bamboo poles from the bottom of the underground river to completely bury the existence of the bamboo poles. Fortunately, the water in the underground river had dried up due to the drought.
The water in the underground river was not very deep, only about knee-high, so Shen Rong was able to successfully lead his men to complete Jiang Chuyue's arrangements.
By the time all this was done, a whole day had passed.
After a day of hard work, the guys supported each other as they walked down the mountain. Jiang Chuyue followed behind them and noticed that their clothes on the backs were completely soaked with sweat.
He turned around and found Xiao Yihao, asking him to send another person to keep an eye on the situation near the underground river and the mountain spring. Xiao Yihao readily agreed. "Did you find any more clues this time? Who stole the water?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Chuyue propped up her chin. She really had no clue about this matter. What if the person she offended wanted to retaliate against her? That was indeed possible, but even if he wanted to retaliate against her, why would he steal the water?
If they really had no water, they had to steal water, but they didn't smash anything directly. They even broke most of the bamboo pole used to draw water.
"Do you think there is something strange about this matter?" Jiang Chuyue asked Xiao Yihao, who was confused.
Xiao Yihao looked into Jiang Chuyue's eyes and suddenly smiled, "Don't you think there are more and more strange things happening recently?"
Whether it was the Zhou family buying food, Xiao Li’s sudden action, or this accident, these all made Jiang Chuyue feel confused and unable to figure out what was going on.
But life is so dull and ordinary that one cannot see any problem.
