Chapter 399
There is only a thin stream of water left in the river channel of Baijia Village, and even if the village queues up here to fetch water, it will not be able to supply it at all.
"Why hasn't the water source been dug for so long? Isn't there a lot of underground water flow here?" Some people in the village have already started to complain.
Bai Zhidong glanced at the person who spoke, "Do you think it's that easy to find a water source at this time? Just dig a hole and water will come out? If you don't find the underground water flow at this time, you won't be able to solve the problem at all."
Bai Yan, "But with us non-professionals digging here and there, aimlessly digging, the possibility of success is not high at all. It's a waste of everyone's time."
Bai Rusi poured the ladle full of water into the bucket, "If you don't try it, how will you know if it will work? And we have no choice at this time."
Seeing that he was almost full, Bai Zhidong hurried over to take over, "Our village has been looking for experienced well diggers nearby, but I don't know if we can find them?"
"I hope! Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to collect water like this every day, and the crops in the field would almost die, and no one would be able to survive due to lack of water and food." We have to send this trip of water back before continuing to queue up.
Bai Yan looked back at the still long queue, and said enviously, "If only we had a lake as big as Pinghe Village, at least we don't have to worry about it."
"Now I think these are all empty. When there is no water at all, maybe we will have to bring water back from them. Then the project will be huge." Bai Zhidong felt that it was already troublesome enough, in case If you really have to go outside to fetch water and come back, that day will be sad.
They were queuing up to receive the water resignedly to their fate, and Village Chief Bai also led some people along the corner of the mountain to find the boundary where they thought the water might come out.
"We've been digging here and there, and we've been tossing and tossing for so long, but there's no result at all. Let's ask the higher authorities for help! Maybe they have special talents." Bai Liangkuan stopped and said to Village Chief Bai.
"Let's look for it yourself! There are many branches of underground rivers in our area, as long as we find them, we will solve the water problem." Village head Bai also had his own thoughts, "You forgot that last time we sold them in order to exchange a batch of supplies. How dare you ask for help easily now?"
Also because of the joining of that group of refugees, the whole village is not as united as before.
Baijia Village is now completely divided into three factions, the original aborigines, and the previous batch of refugees who migrated later, plus this new batch, the entire village is now managed separately.
"At that time, there must be a sign of asking for help in the past, but according to the two groups of new villagers, they will definitely not be able to give anything, or will not take anything. At that time, we will have to bear these things. If the water source is dug, They want to sit back and reap the rewards." Immediately, someone raised objections, which shows how deep the internal conflicts in the village have been during this period.
Bai Liangkuan, "Then if we dig out the water source, won't they come to extract it?"
Village Chief Bai looked at the mountains in the distance, "Whether they will come to carry water or not, we have to find water sources. It's a pity that after our village suffered from the last disaster of wolves, everyone dared not go up the mountain again. There must be water sources on the mountains above. .”
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. Now everyone still has lingering fears about the big wolf pack from last time. In addition, the cries of some unknown animals came from the mountain from time to time, which made them even more afraid to enter. mountain.
Baisha, "What if there is no underground river passing by here? Could it be that we followed those refugees and fled everywhere?"
"If this is the case, then we can only blame our bad luck. At that time, we can only drag our families to Pinghe Village to settle down first, and return to the village after the drought is over." Village head Bai has already done the worst in his heart. Of course, it was only the arrangement of the aborigines, and he couldn't control the others who joined later.
Everyone didn't expect that the village chief had thought so far, and even arranged a way out.
In order not to leave their hometowns in the future, everyone can only work harder to find new water sources.
There are more and more villages like Baijia Village that are gradually entering drought. People often start fighting for some water sources.
messed up.
The days that followed were destined to be restless.
In the past few days, relatives in Pinghe Village have been visiting, and many people have begged to take them in for a period of time so that they can survive the drought.
Yun Xun, who was staying in the village, did not dare to let go easily, as long as he made an opening, Pinghe Village would definitely not be peaceful in the future.
"Can't we be accommodating? This is really hard to live with, so I begged. I can't let my family live outside, and there are wild animals everywhere, so it's not safe." Lu Xiaoting kept begging the elders in the village. I hope they can let go and let their parents and brothers live in the village temporarily.
The second grandfather nodded the crutch in his hand, "Now it's not a question of whether to take them in or not, but our village can't take them in at all."
"Right now, there is drought everywhere outside, and water shortages are serious in many places. Every family has relatives nearby. If you open this hole, then other people will come to seek refuge, and conflicts will arise at that time. gone."
Lu Xiaoting, "But there is no water in the house at this time, so we can't let them stay at home and wait to die?"
"Anyway, our village can't set this precedent. You can build a house for them around the village and let them spend this time around here." Yun Xun gave them an idea, after all, they are relying on limestone mountains. As long as some adobe is made, their housing can be solved.
"Besides, you have to wait until the drought is severe in the vicinity. As long as there is a water source, you will be targeted, and you can take advantage of it earlier." Seeing these people still struggling there, the second grandfather kindly reminded them.
It's just that the people who came to join in the fun felt thoughtful when they heard this. After all, there are no three or two relatives nearby. If they ask for help at that time, it will be very embarrassing.
Thinking of the problems I will encounter in the future, it is better to make some preparations as soon as possible, so that if someone really comes to ask for it, I will have an explanation.
"The back mountain is definitely not good. It can only be expanded to Xinsan Village. Although it is not very convenient to get water, at least it can be guaranteed to be available." Some people are already thinking about where to build a house first.
Lu Xiaoting also realized at this time that the vicinity of Pinghe Village will definitely become a fragrant bun in the future. Since the village does not entertain outsiders, it is better to occupy a place near the water source as soon as possible.
She didn't bother to talk about these elders and the person in charge, so she turned around and went to her natal family to discuss it.
