MTL - Legend of the Cultivation God-Chapter 2 Well
Chapter II Drilling ()
The mountains in the afternoon are still cold, and Zhang Xiaohua is still enthusiastic. However, the progress of the afternoon's reclamation did not come smoothly in the morning. There are many rocks on the wasteland, many of which are buried in the ground. It is not an easy task to dig up the ground and pick up large stones. When the sun sets and the twilight comes, Zhang Xiaohua only moves. A few pieces of rock and stone, his hand was first injured, the tiger's mouth cracked, blowing in the cold wind, feeling a burst of pain.
After all, it’s still a young man.
Looking back at the wasteland where I was busy for a day, although I was a little bit sad, Zhang Xiaohua still licked her head and took the water can and went back. It’s too late, no longer, my brother and I will come and look, and my grandmother will worry.
There is a distance between the wasteland and the home. If it is not at noon, it will not be used by the mother to deliver food. Walking on the rugged mountain road home, although Zhang Xiaohua had no physical strength, his mood was wonderful. The progress of land reclamation was not fast. It was also reminded that if it was adjusted in a few days, the people in the village would have been full. The hillside is open. This is only the beginning, and it will be cultivated in detail later, but it will also be planted, watered, etc., and there are many troubles. Suddenly, the little flower thinks a little, watering! ! ! Yes, the hillside is so high, so far away from the river in the village, the water should be so done, there is no spring around it? Why didn't you think about it long ago? This... How is this good? Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but speed up and ran home.
When I walked into the entrance to the village, the sky was already dark. There were still many urchins in the village who were laughing and playing. I saw the little flowers licking the hoe, and some familiar villagers stopped the florets and asked him about the land reclamation. The flowers were also one by one. Reply. It seems that the opening of wasteland on the hillside is also a matter of great concern to villagers who do not have enough rations. However, Xiaohua is also very absent-minded, everyone thought he was tired, and did not ask in detail, Xiaohua then ran home.
Zhang Xiaohua’s home is in the south of the village. From the perspective of feng shui, it is the place where the wind blows. However, the area is not small, and with the efforts of Zhang Cai, there is actually a small courtyard. The walls of the small courtyard are not high. They are piled up with yellow mud and can be seen from the outside. Far away from the fence door, Zhang Xiaohua saw the figure of the grandmother holding a cane, because the eyes could not see, the grandmother did not go out very much, and this time holding the fence door, I thought it was to remember my youngest grandson. Hearing the approaching footsteps, Grandma’s face showed a smile. “Small flowers, come back~, are you tired today?” Zhang Xiaohua ran a few steps, entered the door, put the **** and the jug down, and helped the grandmother The arm hurriedly replied: "Not tired, grandmother, I have never done farm work before." Grandma comfortably held Zhang Xiaohua's hand and said, "Our little flower is already an adult, grandma has forgotten!" Grandma's The hand just happened to touch the place where Zhang Xiaohua’s tiger's mouth cracked. Zhang Xiaohua took a breath of cold air. Although he didn't make a sound, the grandmother had already heard it. He said loudly, “Small talent, hurry and come and see the child.” Zhang Xiaohua In fact, I have just returned, I am cleaning in the yard, I heard the voice of my mother-in-law, I feel over, take a closer look and say:
"It doesn't matter, mother, little flowers work too hard, my hands are cracked, and it will be good in a few days."
Grandma said: "Would you like to get some medicine from the old Chen of the village?"
Just saying, Guo Sufei came out of the house with something, and casually said to Zhang Xiaohua's grandmother: "No, mother, the last time the tiger was not used, there are still some, wait until the evening flowers sleep, apply One point, it is estimated that tomorrow will be better. Niang, you feel like going back to the house, it’s cold, the wind is up, and I will send you the meal for a while. Xiaohua, help your grandmother back to the house.”
Zhang Xiaohua carefully sent her grandmother back to the house, and her anxiety about watering was also left behind.
After the meal, the parents made baskets under the oil lamp of the bean, and the three brothers of Zhang Xiaohua also took the handles next to them. Zhang Cai asked Zhang Xiaohua about the situation of land reclamation. Zhang Xiaohua also came together, Zhang Cai said:
"You are really slow, and when the tiger helps the little dragon to make the land on the other side of the river less than enough, he will help you in the past."
Zhang Xiaolong also said: "Don't worry, Xiaohua, busy, I will help you in the past, and will finish before winter."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "I am worried. I have not said that the land reclamation should be careful. Slow down, slow down, open the crops, and grow the crops. The president is good." When he talked about it, he thought of it. Watering things, and quickly asked him: "Hey, I just remembered that when I walked halfway, the hillside was so high, there was no spring in the vicinity, how about the crops in the future?"
Zhang Cai stopped his work and said, "It is difficult for you to think of it here. What do you think should be done?"
Zhang Xiaohua asked for help from two brothers: "Our land is diving, the hillside is so far, it is high, can't pick water?"
Zhang Cai said with a smile: "Small flowers, what is behind the slopes?"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that a deep pit behind?"
"Yes, there is a small hill nested together on three hillsides, where you can drill wells. Then, from the well to the entire path in the ground, you can drink water and water the fields." Zhang Cai said with confidence.
"It seems that you have planned for a long time." Guo Sufei smiled and praised his man.
"Then, hey, when are we going to drill the well?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't wait to ask.
"When the land is leveled, the difference is not enough. Before the winter, the land is still not frozen. Let's ask the people in the neighboring village to help the wells. Let's do it!" Zhang Cai finished, and started to live. .
With a satisfactory answer, Zhang Xiaohua finally let go of his heart, and the family is busy with the work in their hands. After doing it for a while, Zhang Xiaohua was obviously tired and his eyes were confused. Guo Sufei distressed him to go to sleep first, Zhang Xiaohua promised, Muran went to the shackles of the three brothers, threw himself into the dilapidated quilt, went to sleep, even the night mother painted himself I don't know the medicine.
A busy day has passed so hurriedly.
In the following days, Zhang Xiaohua was also able to withstand the temper, but he flattened his land with one heart and one mind, and no longer worried about watering. This evening, Zhang Xiaohua cleaned up the weeds, knocked the big bandits, and prepared to go home. On the road, Zhang Xiaohua couldn’t help it anymore. I couldn’t help but wonder, my own sloping land turned into a flat farmland. It is possible to sow seeds when the plowing is poor, and it is only when the well can be opened.
When he just turned the hillside, he saw a few wooden shelves in the deep recess under the slope. Zhang Xiaohua ran over and looked at the probe. Sure enough, he flattened a circular platform at the bottom of the pit with a circular wooden board. The board was surrounded by six long wooden sticks and the bottom was deeply inserted. In the soil, the top is set in a tower shape. Zhang Xiaohua almost stunned and ran down the hillside to the bottom of the wooden frame. At this time, there is no one. It is estimated that after the shelf has been taken to rest, Zhang Xiaohua patted it and touched it there. It is very strange. With these shelves, you can play deep wells? When Zhang Xiaohua was strange, someone called him on it:
"Little flower, where are you?" Listening to the voice is the second brother. Xiaohua rushed to answer:
"I am here, brother, come on, let's get ready to go to the well."
Zhang Xiaohu also slipped from the **** and pulled Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Okay, I know, in the afternoon, I helped the big brother to get these things over. The big brother said to give you a surprise, and I didn't tell you." At this moment, my mother is waiting for you to go back. Let's go."
The two brothers ran trot and returned home.
There is already a dining table in the cabin of the house. Sitting next to the table is a big brother, but I don’t see other people I don’t know. Zhang Xiaohua can’t help but ask: “Hey, what about the wells?” Zhang Cai said with a smile. They all went back. We didn't have much money at home. We told them that it was just lunch, and it didn't matter at night. Moreover, our family members also wanted to help, so that the amount of work can be less." Zhang Xiaohua should give a cry I went out to help my mother to have dinner.
After dinner at night, Zhang gave the family a task, Zhang Xiaohua three brothers, of course, on the spot to help, Xiaohua's mother is responsible for cooking and delivery, Zhang Cai to buy materials, find someone to help and so on. In short, in addition to the grandmother of Xiaohua, the whole family must do it. Of course, grandma has to look after the house, and feeding chicken is also busy.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaohua got up early, rushed to the two brothers on the shack, and went to the well together. Zhang Xiaohua’s mother-in-law had to ask them to eat something and then go, saying that Zhang Xiaohua’s cockroaches had already gone first. Moreover, it was a good time to talk to others. It’s going early, no one, no three people will fight. Well, it’s also a no-brainer. Zhang Xiaohua had to accompany them to finish their breakfast. When they came out to the hillside, the sun had risen.
When I saw the mountain nest, there were already a few people busy, and Zhang Cai was busy calling them to help, and moved some of the stones and clods that were dug out to the side, so everyone started to work hard.
Just a few days in this way, Zhang Xiaohua discovered that this drilling is also a very simple matter. It is to get a place, and to open the shelf and dig it down. However, it is necessary to find a good location and ensure that the excavated place does not collapse. Experience can be done, for example, this wooden shelf is a must, otherwise people will dig deeper and deeper, how can the soil be transported from the underground, how can people come up? However, when it comes to the position, it is also Zhang Cai’s luck. The place where the family negotiated is to get away from the field. I didn’t expect to be able to play the water. The master who dug the well was looking for it all over the mountain, and finally it was set in this place. Said that there may be a spring eye, digging and digging, if you dig out is a sweet mountain spring, it is better to use it for pouring water. Zhang Cai listened to this, it was the wind in the ear, so far away from home, how to pick water, is it difficult to pick a few barrels from here to go home to cook?
The days of drilling wells are such a day, the wells are getting deeper and deeper, but the difficulties are getting more and more, and the progress is obviously slowed down. Because it was dug from the low hills of several hillsides, from time to time, many stones were dug out from it. Fortunately, it was not too big, and it did not touch the so-called large-area stone. Otherwise, the well was still If you don't excavate, you have to give up.
After a few more days, perhaps Zhang Cai’s luck was over, and the well was finally in great trouble.
At noon that day, Zhang Xiaohua went down to the well and picked up the hoe. He began to dig the earth. Who knows the first time, he encountered a stone that seemed to be hard and shook Zhang Xiaohua’s hand. According to previous experience, Zhang Xiaohua I chose a place farther away than before, and it was a glimpse. "When ~~" was heard, it was obviously the stone. Zhang Xiaohua couldn’t help but panic, and it was smashed along the well, no exception. They are all stones! Zhang Xiaohua pulled the rope tied to his waist and let him pull him up. He calmly said things to him. Zhang Cai and the people who drilled the well also went down and watched it silently after coming up. The person who drilled the well discussed with Zhang Cai, let other people go to the side to rest, eat lunch and come to help, and finally confirm whether it is a big stone or a layer of stone.
I saw everyone scattered, sitting on the ground and resting, only Zhang Xiaohua looked at the well that had not been beaten, and my heart was uneasy. I was really afraid that it was a layer of stone. I couldn’t dig it down again. Maybe I can't beat the well. Zhang Xiaohua let Zhang Xiaolong put him on the bottom of the well again, and he dug up again.
