Chapter 189 Thieves, Are You Playing With Us?

"Then we will dig tomorrow and dig out this hidden river." Wang Yonggui waved his bong confidently.

Xue Andong answered, "The underground river is not shallow from the ground, and it can't be dug out for a day or two, so we might as well bring tents and supplies there and wait to dig."

"En." Wang Yonggui nodded heavily, "Send someone to Niujia Village to report a letter, and the head of Niu Village will send someone to dig together."

"That's the best. There are many people and strength, and things will definitely be done."

"Everyone go to bed early tonight, and leave early tomorrow."

Everyone slept all night with excitement and excitement, and Wang Yonggui arranged for it early the next morning.

They sent two men to Niujia Village to report the news, and arranged for another hundred men to dig yellow mud and make mud bricks near the camp, and guard the camp by the way.

Others took tent supplies and headed for the dark river in a mighty way.

After arriving at the place, I chose a place to set up camp, and then the big guys got busy.

Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen used binoculars to mark a distance of twenty or thirty feet long, and the big guys dug according to it.

Since it is necessary to dig an underground river, it is specified that not only a small hole must be dug, but at least a section of the river must be dug, and the digging should be as wide as possible so that it is not so steep.

As for how deep the underground river is buried underground, it depends on luck.

In the south, many karst caves are connected to underground rivers, and it is extremely easy to get water, even small boats can enter.There is also that kind of Baotu Spring, which is mostly formed by the gushing water in the underground river.

In short, this kind of underground river can be deep or shallow, and whether it can be dug out or not depends entirely on luck.

After digging for several hours, stones began to emerge from the pit that couldn't hold water, and the stones were covered with holes the size of fists. Presumably, the water that Xiao Ningxue poured into them all seeped into these holes and flowed away. .

Several young guys put their ears to the hole and listened, shouting excitedly.

"There is water and there is water. There must be water under this place. I can hear the sound of water flowing."

But Wang Yonggui couldn't be happy.

"Such a thick stone, even gods can't cut through it, and it's useless to hear the sound of water."

Some people did not believe this evil, chiseled with a hoe, and found that these stones were harder than ordinary stones, and the handle of the hoe was broken, but there were only a few marks from the chisel.

If you want to cut through the stone, it may be more difficult than digging a canal in Xiping City to divert water.

Xue Andong said optimistically, "Keep digging and appoint someone who can find the cave."

So everyone continued to dig vigorously.

In the evening of the same day, the head of Niu Village arrived here with the people of Niujia Village.

Only a hundred or so men were left in their village to guard the village, and all the other laborers came.

600 people worked day and night for two days, digging all the section of the river marked by Xiao Ningxue and the others.But what is disappointing is that the part that was dug out is all stones underneath.

There was no place where water came out, and no cave was found.

It is really a sad thing to hear only the sound of water, but no water at all.

"Go to another place to dig." Xue Andong still doesn't believe in this evil.

So everyone moved the land again and ran to the top of the well in Niujia Village to create a well for two days, but the result was still disappointing.

Stones, all stones!
It seems that this piece of yellow mud is full of such hard stones.

And the dark river is surrounded by these stones, flowing through the bottom day and night, but refuses to give alms and nourishment to this piece of yellow land, as if God deliberately abandoned this place, and it is destined to be a desolate place.

The big guy was also desperate, dragging his hoe back to the village weakly.

On the road, I met Qin Xianwen riding a horse and laughed loudly on the horseback.

"It's amusing to see you morons digging so hard."

"Do you really think you are the only ones who are smart enough to discover that there is a dark river underground? Who doesn't know the locals?"
"Shouldn't you just give up on this? It's your life to be a slave, so it's useless to struggle."

Everyone was too lazy to talk to him, bypassing him and continuing back to the village.

Not to mention that Niujia Village has dug out water, even if it hasn't been dug out, it is impossible to serve as a slave to a foreigner.

Qin Xianwen didn't care about the cold faces of these people in Taohua Village, and continued to go to Niujia Village.

He also got news that a well had been dug in Niujia Village, and planned to spend some money to buy the well.

Anyway, it is impossible to grow crops with just a well, but anyone with a brain knows how to choose.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes going away, Wang Yonggui turned his head dejectedly.

"It seems that Qin Xianwen is making plans for the well in Niujia Village, and I don't know how the village chief Niu will choose."

"It's time to test them." Xue Andong thoughtfully, "If they really can't stand the temptation and sell the well to Qin Xianwen, then it's better to see their true colors as soon as possible."

"That's true." Wang Yonggui nodded, "After all, it's better not to associate with someone who is so easy to defect."

The men looked at the dark clouds coming from the top with joy in their eyes.

"What are you afraid of? It's going to rain soon. We have dug so many water cellars, so we don't have to worry about water for the time being."

These words made everyone see hope again, and everyone straightened their backs. How many hardships and tribulations have they experienced? It is not so easy to be defeated.

However, God is so fond of teasing people, the strong wind suddenly turned, and the east wind suddenly picked up, flying sand and rocks, and the dark clouds that were originally overwhelmed retreated to the west little by little.

It also rained that night, but it was only a few inches of soil wet, and no water flowed into the cellar.

When we woke up the next day, we all looked at the clear sky with despair in our eyes.

"Village chief, what should we do?"

Wang Yonggui swung the cigarette stick, wishing he could poke a hole in the sky and yell at him.

"My god, are you playing with us?"

"After waiting for so many days of rain, only a few drops in the end? Why are we stepping on your tail? You don't want to see us?"

Xue Andong shook his head helplessly: "Instead of scolding, it's better to place some offerings and pray for rain."

Xiao Shan is not in good health, he has been in the camp all the time, and he doesn't know what's going on, and he's quite puzzled to see the big guy worrying like this.

"Isn't there water in Niujia Village? As long as there is water to drink, we can survive."

"Build a house with bricks first, anyway, it's not spring plowing yet, so everything will be done slowly." Everyone didn't know what to say, and they sat on the handles of the hoes, frowning.

Just as he was sighing, Niujia Village sent someone over.

"Village Chief Wang, the rain hasn't fallen, so there must be no water on your side, why don't you go get some water?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yonggui stood up excitedly.

"Your well is still there?"

"Yes, why not?" the man asked, "You don't think we sold the well, did you? County Magistrate Qin wanted to buy it, but we drove it away."

"Everyone lives by that well, how can we sell it? It is absolutely impossible to do such a thing?"

These few words touched the villagers of Taohua Village so much, Wang Yonggui grabbed the man's hand and said regardless of the time: "Tell Brother Niu for me, I recognize him as a brother!"

After finishing speaking, I immediately ordered everyone to go to Niujia Village to carry water.

After a while, the carriages were assembled at the entrance of the village, and they were about to leave when suddenly there seemed to be the sound of water.Everyone thought they had heard it wrong, and looked around wonderingly.
