Drilling a well is not an easy job. In modern society, there are various scientific tools available, but in ancient times, it was not an easy job to detect where there is underground water source and go deep into the ground to draw water.
The detection of water sources depends entirely on the experience and eyesight of the well driller. Once the wrong place is selected, all the effort will be wasted.Besides, well drilling, because the well is deep and narrow, accidents may happen during the well drilling process, which is very unsafe.
It is precisely because of this that after Qinghe Village had the convenience of the Qingshui River next to it, it didn't want to bother to dig a well in the past.
But the matter of the water ghost reminded Xia Chen that if there is another accident that affects the water source of the Qingshui River, then the water use of their village will be restricted again.
It's not that he is unfounded, because he has set a rule that every time the guards in the village kill the zombies, they will transport them to the incineration site to burn the corpses of the zombies, but others may not necessarily take the effort.
The upper reaches of the Qingshui River are the main road of the largest river in the Da'an Dynasty. There are several lush cities along the river. If someone throws a corpse into the river, it will be a problem whether the river water will be drinkable in the future.
So when Xia Chen heard that someone could dig a well, he couldn't help being moved. He was prepared for danger in times of danger, and he drilled the well first.
After thinking about it in his heart, Xia Chen asked Ji Minyu to pass on a message to those fugitives. The one who can forge iron will not waste his skills, and he can also repair farm tools for the villagers.
Those who know how to dig wells should find out where they can dig wells in the village, and then send people to work after finding out.
As for the others, all the cultivated land in the village has owners, and Xia Chen can't let the villagers give them up, so if he wants to cultivate land, he can only open up wasteland.
Xia Chen said that they can lend them all the farm tools and seeds, and the tax is the same as that of other villagers, and the wasteland opened up can also belong to them in the future.
This condition is already very superior. Although the land reclamation is hard work, as long as you survive the first two years and slowly cultivate and raise the following land, you can slowly live your life.
Ji Minyu is not a person who doesn't know good and bad, on the contrary, because he has traveled all over the world to deal with people since he was a teenager, he has quite good knowledge. Knowing that this is Xia Chen's plan for them, he is very considerate, and immediately thanked Xia on behalf of the other fugitives Chen.
They were recuperating in the village for the past few days. Ji Minyu had been observing the situation in the village. After getting a general idea of the current situation of Qinghe Village, he asked about the work.
The only way for the village to earn lottery coins now is to accept tasks, or take private jobs from Xia Chen. Ji Minyu and the others have nothing, so naturally they want to make money, but he is worried that this job will not be given to outsiders like them.
He didn't hide his thoughts, Xia Chen said bluntly, "As long as the mission conditions are met, anyone can do it."
Only then did Ji Minyu feel relieved, said goodbye to Xia Chen, and returned to the fugitive's residence to talk to his companions.
After Ji Minyu left, Xia Chen went to find Zhenniang. He thought that since the students had school uniforms, why not make uniforms for the guards as well.
Don't underestimate this outfit. The same uniform can enhance people's collective sense of honor. Just look at the group of children. Wearing school uniforms, even fighting in the village has to be restrained and put on airs.
Send the cloth to Zhenniang. As for the style, Xia Chen will not intervene. Zhenniang is an expert in this area.
Xia Chen paid Zhenniang to make these clothes, on a piece-by-piece basis.
After finishing the work, Xia Chen had just returned home when his mother knocked on his door. Xia Chen went out and saw that it was his niece Xi Niang.
Since returning to the village, Xia Chen has been busy with trifles. The food and supplies sent by his parents to help resettle his uncles' homes. His parents also stopped him if there was anything to do. A junior is not easy to speak.
"Sit." He didn't expect that Xi Niang would come to him, poured her a cup of tea, and told Xi Niang to sit down and talk.
Xi Niang stood there without moving, clasped her hands, fingers intertwined, obviously she had something on her mind.
Xia Chen took a sip of tea by himself, calmly persuaded, "Xiniang, I'm your uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Xi Niang hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Little uncle, I want to join the guard."
Xia Chen was taken aback, thinking he heard it wrong, his little niece was shy and docile when she was young, and she didn't know how to quarrel with others. The most ruthless time in her life was to stone that scumbag ex-fiancé to death. Yes, it was also forced to the extreme, and Brother Bei lost an arm before he broke out.
Speaking of which, although Xi Niang is a different person, she seldom uses her abilities, probably because every time her wings grow out, her clothes will be punctured. For a girl's family, it is really ugly to have two big holes in her clothes.
She doesn't use it much herself, and the intensity of supernatural training is not strong, and she is not strong now, and she can't fly high enough or last long enough.Seeing that she didn't mean that, Xia Chen didn't ask her to practice more.
Unexpectedly, Xi Niang would find her by herself, and even said that she wanted to join the guard team, which was really out of character for her.
"Little uncle, I, I want to join the guard team. I don't need salary, so I will train with them. In the future, when I want to recruit people, I will go to the assessment." Xi Niang still spoke softly, but her tone was very firm.
She mustered up her courage to come to Xia Chen. Although it is the end of the day, the ancient customs and people's thinking have not changed much.The guards were all men, and she was an unmarried girl who stayed with them all day, so her reputation was completely lost.
Xia Chen stared quietly at Xi Niang for a long while, seeing the little girl turn her head and dodge, then asked slowly, "Why do you want to go to the guard all of a sudden?"
Xi Niang bowed her head and said nothing, Xia Chen said again, "The guards are not accepting people now, you come to me to beg for mercy, you have to tell me the truth, right?"
Xi Niang still lowered her head, and after a while, she said with a choked voice, "Brother Bei, Brother Bei, he really wants to go to the guard team, I want to learn how to train, and I will teach him when I get home. It will be better."
If possible, Xi Niang would really like to exchange her own arm for her younger brother's arm. Her younger brother has been lively and chivalrous since he was a child, and letting him have one of his hands broken off as a cripple would be a big blow to Brother Bei.
When he was still in the county seat, the whole family was struggling to survive, so Bei Geer had to put it aside no matter how uncomfortable he felt, otherwise his parents and family members would have to worry about him in times of crisis.
After I followed my uncle to Qinghe Village, the environment here is comfortable. Several cousins and brothers from my uncle's family all went to participate in training under my uncle's instructions, and later joined the guard team as a matter of course, enjoying the envy of other young people. look.
At that time, when my uncle organized manpower training, Brother Bei wanted to participate, but he was embarrassed to say that he felt that when he went, others accepted him because of his uncle's face. The little uncle is ashamed.
The loss of an arm for a normal person is not as simple as the inconvenience of life, the balance of the body cannot be mastered, and it is possible to fall on the ground without paying attention, let alone training and fighting.
Brother Bei suppressed the longing in her heart, and farmed honestly with her parents, but how could Xi Niang not see her younger brother's envious eyes and sad look when he looked at other brothers, she was tortured every day in her heart, and finally made up her mind Do something for your brother.
After Xia Chen heard it, he also felt uncomfortable. It is so difficult to regenerate a broken limb. When he first heard the news, he asked Xia Tongbaner if there was anything he could do.
Although Xia Tongban is an alien black technology, his database has been locked after Xia Chen extracted his occupations. The only hope for him is that there may be mutated plants in the future that can reshape limbs.
However, the two magical lands in Xia Chen's space have never been free, and the probability of mutated plants appearing has been greatly increased after the end of the world, but they haven't achieved the kind of mutations that come true again and again.
He can't do anything about Beige'er's hand for the time being, he can only take care of their family more in life, now after hearing Xi Niang's words, Xia Chen feels that maybe it's not the right way to avoid talking about it all the time.
"If you join the guard team, the training content will probably be different from other people." Xia Chen thought and said, "You are a girl, and your natural physical fitness is not as good as that of a man. This is a disadvantage. Although it is necessary to improve your physical fitness to make up for your shortcomings, but Your main training program should not be physical."
Xi Niang's biggest advantage is that she can fly, as long as she goes to the sky and flies high enough, the enemies on the ground can't help her.So what Xi Niang needs to train is how to fly fast, fly high and flexibly.
Relying on her flying advantage, whether it is to fight back or kill the enemy from thousands of miles away, it is possible.
When Xi Niang heard this, she panicked. She wanted her younger brother to be able to train too. If her training method was different, how could she teach her younger brother.
"Don't worry." Xia Chen comforted softly, "It's good that you have such a heart, Xi Niang, let me ask you, if Brother Bei is there, and I come to find someone to help him exercise, are you still willing to join the escort team?"
Xi Niang didn't answer this question, and said anxiously, "No, mother said, you are a big deal, little uncle, we can't hold you back and let people say that you are abusing your power to favor your own family. If mother knows, I will beg you, If you train Brother Bei, you won't agree."
Xia Chen couldn't help laughing, her heart was warm, Xi Niang was still anxious, and her voice was lowered a bit, "Besides, if you help us, little uncle, the cousin sister-in-law and the others come to you to do something, it's not easy to justify. "
When there are too many people, there will always be other small thoughts. There are no particularly bad intentions in the family of a few uncles, but it is inevitable that some people want to take advantage of his position.
For example, a few days ago, a cousin of the third uncle's family came to beg his mother to take over the cleaning job.Now the village is almost cleaned up, and the post has not been withdrawn. It is purely to take care of the orphans and widows in the village.
"Little uncle, don't just laugh, I'm serious." Xi Niang was very anxious.
Xia Chen stopped laughing, "Xiniang, you are my relatives, and I am your elder. Helping you improve your abilities is not called selfishness."
He is not a saint, and he doesn't seek fame. His heart must be biased towards his own family, such as his mother and sister-in-law, and the job of shopkeeper can be handed over to them directly, just to boost their self-confidence.If they don't want to do it, just throw it away, and he will find someone to take over.
There is no requirement to compete for the job, that's his sister-in-law, so there's nothing to say.
Although his father has no relatives here, but the uncles have a lot of family members, he can help as much as he can, but there is a limit, and he will not be too biased.They are willing to make progress, and Xia Chen is naturally willing to support them. For example, recruiting people for training, he has notified several uncles, and there are only three or four cousins and nephews who come, and he does not force them.
Xi Niang was worried that he would be talked about, but Xia Chen felt that it didn't matter. Brother Bei was his nephew, the son of his own sister. He didn't ask Xia Chen to find him a job, but just wanted to improve himself. So what can Xia Chen not do to help.
The detection of water sources depends entirely on the experience and eyesight of the well driller. Once the wrong place is selected, all the effort will be wasted.Besides, well drilling, because the well is deep and narrow, accidents may happen during the well drilling process, which is very unsafe.
