Chapter 1301 Rescue
"Secretary Lin, it's my fault for not doing my job well, please criticize me!" the village chief said, bowing his head.

At this moment, Dahai couldn't help but say, "Secretary Lin, you are our people's leader. We can't get over this hurdle. What should we do?"

"Everyone, calm down!" Seeing that everyone's emotions were about to explode, Lin Jie quickly said:
"All members of the Linxian County Party Committee are here today. In front of everyone, the Linxian County Party Committee makes a solemn pledge: we will definitely solve everyone's water problem!"

"We'll definitely find a way to get water for everyone, okay!"

"Great!" Everyone cheered in unison.

Lin Jie glanced at Shui Wang and Shui Lian, who were catching water from the Dragon King's nose, sighed inwardly, and then softly addressed the crowd:
"There's one more thing, I need to ask you all!"

"Shuisheng is getting married tomorrow. I know it's against the rules for him to rush to fill this jug of water!"

"But could you please let him order one more can for my sake? After all, getting married is a major life event, can everyone agree to that?"

"Yes!" After a slight hesitation, a few scattered voices came from the crowd.

But then someone became unhappy and hid behind others, saying:
"Shuisheng is just getting married, it doesn't matter if it happens sooner or later, but we have no water to drink, we're almost dying of thirst..."

Seeing that the situation was escalating again, Lin Jie was about to say something to calm everyone down when Lin Hao strode forward, walked to Lin Jie's side, and said:

"Fellow villagers, if Shanggeda Village has no water to drink, Xiageda Village will be no exception!"

Lin Hao pointed to the cracked earth and said, "Our enemy is not our neighbor above or below the rocks, but this damned old drought!"

"But one or two cans of water can't solve the drought. To completely solve the drought problem, a lot of water is needed!"

“But there is no water in the entire Linxian County, so I had an idea. It’s no use just to fight for it. We have to build a canal ourselves to bring the water from the Zhanghe River!”

"This is something that Secretary Lin of the County Party Committee and I have been planning for a long time. Only by bringing in water from the Zhanghe River can we completely solve the drought problem!"

Gu Dahai exclaimed in shock, "This... this can actually work? Our ancestors never even imagined it!"

"Just because our ancestors didn't think of it, does that mean we don't dare to think of it? Just because our ancestors didn't do it, does that mean we can't do it?"

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Lin Hao said decisively:
"Our new China led everyone to drive away the miserable life and defeat the Kuomintang. Who had ever thought of this before? Who had ever done this before? But weren't they all defeated by the new China?"

The crowd was stirred by Lin Hao's words, and Lin Hao seized the opportunity to say:

"Our new China relies on this kind of spirit, leading everyone to accomplish things that our ancestors never even thought of or could do. So what is there that we can't solve?"

Lin Hao's voice echoed in the dilapidated temple, carrying an undeniable power.

His gaze swept across the face of every young person present. Hive Consciousness and other abilities activated, silently amplifying his words and making each syllable strike a heavy blow to their hearts.

“I know some people think this is wishful thinking. But I want to tell you that in the outside world, even mountains more dangerous than the Taihang Mountains have been cleaved open.”

Water from sources even farther than the Zhuozhang River was brought in. This wasn't due to divine intervention or waiting, but rather this! He pointed to his head and exclaimed loudly:

"It's knowledge, it's technology! And this too!" He clenched his fist and said, "It's the indomitable, fearless spirit of the people of Linxian!"

“We can’t build this canal with brute force alone. But with scientific methods and the determination of the people of Linxian, we will definitely succeed!”

"At that time, we will not only make the fields grow good crops, but also make sure that every household's water tank is full every day, so that our children will never know what 'thirst' feels like again!"

The scenes he depicted were so vivid that they seeped into everyone's hearts through their spirit.

Whether it was Shi Shuisheng or Gu Dahai, everyone was breathing heavily, their eyes burning with an unprecedented fervor.

"Well said!" Lin Jie said in a calm yet excited voice.

"Lin Hao, what you said really resonated with me! This is the kind of courage and vision that a technician from Linxian should have!"

Lin Hao felt reassured, knowing that the most crucial support had arrived. With a firm gaze, Lin Hao said:

“Secretary Lin, having ideas alone is not enough. I have proposed the plan to divert the Zhang River into Lin County countless times over the past three years, but it has not been approved by the higher authorities.”

"Today, in front of everyone, I once again request your support to expedite the reporting to the provincial and municipal governments to initiate the project of diverting water from the Zhang River into the forest!"

Lin Jie's happy expression instantly turned serious. He had thought Lin Hao had helped calm everyone down, but unexpectedly, Lin Hao turned around and gave him a difficult problem!

As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, people from both villages looked at Lin Jie.

However, Lin Jie immediately realized that he had been the one pushing this project forward all along, while the one who had been obstructing it was his superior, Deputy Secretary Yu.

Lin Hao knew all this, so why was he suddenly asking him to make a statement?
Looking at the eager eyes below, Lin Jie suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood Lin Hao's meaning.

Seeing Lin Hao nod slightly, Lin Jie became even more certain of his thoughts and immediately realized that today was indeed a good opportunity.

Then Lin Jie said loudly:

"Fellow villagers, the county committee has been trying to find ways to solve the water shortage problem in our Linxian County. In the past two years, we have built the Tianqiao Canal and the Hero Canal."

"But Comrade Lin Hao from the Water Resources Bureau told me that the water volume upstream of these two canals is too small, and there will be no water in the event of a drought."

"So for the past two years, we have been saving up food, thinking we would wait for a suitable time to start repairs."

"However, we are organized and disciplined, so please be patient. After I finish inspecting the drought situation, I will go back and report to my superiors."

"Good!" Everyone shouted in unison after Lin Jie explained things clearly.

"Secretary Lin!" Lin Hao said again at this moment, "Even if we're going to build a canal, it's not something we can do casually!"

“I have personally inspected the project to bring water from the Zhanghe River to our area, and the construction is extremely difficult.”

"Therefore, in order to ensure smooth construction, it is also necessary to organize these ambitious young people to systematically learn surveying and construction techniques."

"At the same time, I suggest that the county party committee immediately organize a water-finding team. I have an analysis of several alternative routes and water collection points here!"

He explained his plan, which he had developed based on modern knowledge and his memory of the plot, in a clear and logical manner, with detailed data.

Lin Jie's eyes grew brighter as she listened, and she finally nodded emphatically:
"Great! We'll do it your way! The county committee fully supports you! Just let me know if you need anything!"

With Lin Jie's public endorsement, Shi Shuisheng, Gu Dahai, and all the young people present reached the peak of their trust in Lin Jie and Lin Hao.

Standing high up, Shi Shuilian held a clay pot to collect water. Looking at the spirited Lin Hao, her heart was stirred with emotion.

At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Hao as if they saw the embodiment of hope. Although there was still some gossip about the Shui family taking an extra jar of water, no one cared too much about it.

Afterwards, Lin Hao and Lin Jie took the opportunity to investigate Shangxiageda Village, since they would definitely need to have something substantial to say when they returned to report.

······
Shi Shuiwang and Shi Shuilian finally filled a jar with water for Shuisheng as a betrothal gift, and then the family excitedly carried it home.

"Mother, Mother, we're back!" Shuisheng shouted excitedly. "Mother, Mother, the water's here!" Shuilian hugged the water jug ​​tightly to her chest and shouted happily.

While going uphill, Shui Lian didn't forget to say to Shui Sheng beside her, "Quick, help me up!"

"No, there wasn't a fight, was there?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shui Lian's father, Stone Grandpa, said with a laugh. "It's the new China now, how can we fight over water?"

Shui Lian, her precious daughter, added without mincing words, "Later, Secretary Lin arrived, and a fight didn't break out!"

"Bring the jar here!"

"Slow down, slow down!"

As the water was slowly poured into the large jar, the Shi family was overjoyed. Shui Lian looked at her brother and was also filled with happiness, putting up "double happiness" characters and arranging red silk.

However, the tragedy happened in an instant. Because she was worried about the safety of so much water, Shui Sheng Niang held the jar of water that she regarded as her life and looked for a suitable place to store it.

As a result, after moving it around here and there, and being reluctant to drink water, his hands and feet trembled, and he accidentally dropped the earthenware pot.

With a loud crash, it shattered into pieces, and the clear water instantly seeped into the cracked soil and disappeared without a trace.

The courtyard was deathly silent.

“Mother…!” Shui Lian was stunned.

"What are you doing!" Stone Grandpa couldn't help but shout angrily.

Then she quickly knelt down and collected the remaining water. Shui Lian didn't care about anything else, she also knelt down and used a towel to soak up the water and wring it into another small earthenware jar.

Shui Sheng, who was originally overjoyed, felt a huge weight pressing on his heart as he looked at the water stains all over the floor. He stormed out of the main room.

Looking at the shards scattered on the ground, Shui Sheng Niang's eyes instantly turned gray. She murmured, "Gone...all gone...I'm a sinner...!"

Meanwhile, Lin Hao and Lin Jie looked around the village and came to the deepest well. Looking at the well, which was completely dry, they sighed again.

"The higher-ups keep urging us to replant seedlings to combat the drought, but there's no water at all. Replanting more seedlings won't help!" County Head Li Mingyang sighed.
"Secretary, as you can see, there's no water for crops, and even people don't have water to drink!" the village chief said, sounding aggrieved.

We've been urging them to replant in response to the drought, but the higher-ups don't care about the actual situation or whether we have water. They just insist that we replant in response to the drought and that we have to hand over the grain by the autumn harvest.

As for the drought, what did it have to do with him? Anyway, his superiors asked him to fight the drought and replant, so he ordered his subordinates to fight the drought and replant, and even double the amount of planting.

Anyway, everyone is pretending not to know, and as for the rest, it's not that important.

"Xiao Lin, you're a top student in our Water Resources Bureau. Do you think it's possible to drill a well and extract groundwater?" Li Mingyang asked Lin Hao.

Lin Hao frowned, looking at the bottom of the well, and said with a helpless expression:

"According to geological data analysis, the rock 200 meters underground in Linxian County is Cambrian-Ordovician limestone, which is not suitable for retaining water!"

"Even if we insist on drilling a well, we'll have to drill to a depth of over 200 meters, which is simply not worth the effort!"

"Two hundred meters shouldn't be too difficult!" Li Mingyang thought for a moment and then said:

"Didn't they say that the Daqing Oilfield drilled to a depth of over 1,400 meters and extracted oil?"

Lin Hao said helplessly, "The geological conditions are different. The key is that Linxian is located in the Taihang Mountains, with complex and diverse geological structures. Faults, folds and other geological structures are quite common, and there are many types of strata, all of which are extremely hard rocks, such as quartz sandstone, limestone and shale."

"Even if you want to drill a well, do we have that much money? Do we have the drilling equipment and tools? Even if we do, they are extremely outdated tools. Not only will the drilling speed be slow and inefficient, but if we encounter complex geological conditions, we might have to change locations and start drilling again!"

"Hiss~!" Everyone gasped in unison, never expecting that digging a well would be so difficult.

The only one who remained calm was Lin Jie, after all, he had heard Lin Hao mention these things many times before.

"Xiao Lin, do you see any way to get some water for the emergency? At least we need to ensure people have drinking water!"

Looking at the pale lips of the villagers around him, Lin Jie felt a pang of pity and said...

"Yes, we do. It'll be fine for three to five days if needed!" Lin Hao said after thinking for a moment.

"But these scattered puddles will dry up quickly, which is actually about the same as sending a truck to the Zhuozhang River to haul away a truckload of water!"

In reality, there was no water here at all. Lin Hao had previously prepared a lot of water using his spatial storage, which was originally intended for the Shi family to prevent Shui Sheng's mother from committing suicide, and also to win Shui Lian's favor.

"However, seeing how dire the situation is for the entire village, this is the only way we can help them!"

Lin Hao planned to find a leaky pit and fill it with water, so that it could at least last for a few days.

"Three to five days is fine too, it's better than the little bit of water dripping from the Dragon King's nose!" Lin Jie said happily.

"Alright, I'll go look for some waterholes and try to find as many as possible!" Lin Hao said, feigning helplessness.

Lin Hao then wandered around the village, trying to find the place where Shui Sheng Niang committed suicide, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

The original drama did not explain how Shui Sheng Niang died, nor did it say what method she used to commit suicide.

In the end, Lin Hao had no choice but to use his mental marking skill to search the entire village, and it turned out to be near the Dragon King's nose.

Lin Hao then returned to the Dragon King's Nose Cliff, only to find the Water Maiden standing in line behind him with lifeless eyes.

People were quite upset that she was queuing up to get water, since they had already gotten a jar of water from her family before, and now she was doing it again.

Unable to bear the blow and hearing so much gossip, Shui Sheng Niang couldn't think straight and threw away the jar in her hand, banging her head against the cliff.

"Not good!" Lin Hao knew that the other party wanted to commit suicide, and he immediately became alert the moment Shui Sheng Niang was thinking.

At the same time, someone shouted, "Shuishengniang committed suicide!"

Seeing the other party heading straight for the wall, at this critical moment, Lin Hao stepped forward and blocked the path of the impact.

"Ouch!" Lin Hao's physical strength was so great that he wasn't even scratched by the impact.

Seeing that he had saved Shui Sheng Niang, Lin Hao then advised:

"Auntie! You mustn't! If you take your own life over a jar of water, how will Shui Sheng and Shui Lian live in the future?"

Seeing this, the others also joined in the persuasion:
"That's right, it's not worth it. At worst, we just won't marry the Liu family's girl. It's not like they're the only family with daughters!"

“We can just find another girl in the future. Right now, water lessons are a lifesaver!” Scattered whispers gradually reached Shui Shengnian’s ears.
