Of the people's discussions just now, only one sentence was taken to heart by Chen Xinli.
While deep in thought, he couldn't help but look up at the towering Qianniu Mountain in the distance.
I saw that the white mass was still there, and there was no sign of it decreasing.
The temperature at night was much cooler than during the day. As Chen Xinli followed her family on the way home, she felt a chill in her heart.
I thought to myself that when I was on a business trip to the northwest of our country, I accidentally saw the karez there.
She also looked in the underground passages.
However, time was urgent and she was called away by her leader before she had the chance to listen to the locals explain the principles.
I wonder if it would be feasible to build a karez here?
Confused for a moment, Chen Xinli could only put it aside for the time being.
"His father, his second uncle, the water from the village well is barely enough for the whole village to eat and drink. I saw everyone just lined up to fetch water. Should we also prepare some at home?"
Two women were cooking dinner.
In recent days, the two families have been eating together as they did when they did not live separately.
First, it is convenient to make bamboo fans, and second, although the two brothers do not live together, it is not actually considered a separation.
Wu Yuehua has a gentle personality, and Zhang Fangju is afraid that her sister-in-law will be bullied by the villagers, so she occasionally comes to lend a hand.
Wu Yuehua looked at the water in the vat. It was still half full, but she still had to dye the cloth, feed the family, and water the wheat fields. It was enough for today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
"Go, go! I'll pick it."
As soon as Shen Jinshan finished speaking, he went out with the bucket on his shoulder.
"I'm going too."
Shen Fuyou also ran towards his home.
Chen Xinli smelled the sweat on her body and head and almost fainted.
Today is the fourth day since I came to this world. I am busy every day as if I was fighting a war. I originally wanted to wash my hair and take a shower, but now it seems impossible.
Everyone is the same. If she is too different, she will put herself in danger.
She had time to enter the space while there was still time before dinner.
"Hey, is this my space?"
Chen Xinli couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Although I felt something strange in the space during the day, I didn't expect the change to be so big. The area of the cabin seemed to have expanded a lot.
Is this an additional room?
Chen Xinli tried it and was able to push it open.
This door is the only one in the cabin that can be pushed open.
I saw a row of bookshelves in front of me, with only a few books on them. I flipped through one of them and found that it was about farming.
Chen Xinli couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
After looking through it carefully again, I actually found an introduction to the karez.
What you need is exactly what you get!
"Very good!"
Chen Xinli couldn't help but flip through it.
A quarter of an hour later, she finally understood how this great project was constructed.
The karez is composed of vertical wells, underground culverts, above-ground open channels and reservoirs.
To put it simply, it is to bring snow water from the mountains to the ground.
Not to mention other places, the top of Qianniu Mountain next to their village and the top of Laohu Mountain next door are all covered with snow, and it never melts all year round.
It is early summer now. As the temperature rises, the snow will melt. Therefore, there must be undercurrents in the mountains, but the water has been hidden underground!
Chen Xinli was so happy that she almost jumped up.
Look closely at the construction principle.
This farming task requires reverse operation.
First, dig a reservoir on the ground, because the snow water from the mountains flows out from the ground and its temperature is relatively low, so it cannot be used directly for drinking and farmland irrigation.
First, dig a reservoir at a suitable location on the ground and dig an open channel to connect it.
Then, vertical shafts should be dug at certain intervals from the direction of the open channel towards the mountains, and then these vertical shafts should be connected underground.
As long as the underground undercurrent near the mountains is dug, the water will naturally flow out slowly through the underground channel, and eventually flow through the open channel and into the reservoir.
Chen Xinli couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this great invention.
The wisdom of our ancestors is truly admirable.
After reading the entire introduction, Chen Xinli had a rough idea in her mind and left the space.
"Uncle, why is the water you fetched so much muddier than the water Jinshan just fetched?"
I saw a lot of branches and mud mixed together in the wooden barrel in front of me. When I smelled it closely, there was actually a fishy smell.
"When I went there, most of the water in the well had been taken away. When Wang Dachui was drawing water, he accidentally knocked over a bucket of water from Sun Fuxiang's house.
Because of its weight, the wooden barrel fell directly to the bottom of the well and sank into the mud at the bottom of the well.
Wang Dachui poured it for a long time, and the remaining well water was stirred up to become much more turbid.
Even so, I took the opportunity to scoop up a bucket of less muddy water. If Jinshan brings it back later, it will probably be even muddier than mine."
Sure enough, Shen Jinshan came back a little later carrying two and a half buckets of water.
The water became even more turbid and there was no way to cook with it, so I had to leave it overnight.
"No water, no water!"
"Oh my God, can't we even get water now?"
A desperate cry came from a distance.
One family took one bucket of water from the well, and another took two buckets. Now the water has been completely divided up.
If there is no water from the well tomorrow, the whole village will have to rely on the water they have snatched to survive.
The woman who went over later and failed to grab the water was crying and screaming, and her sobs made people feel suffocated.
Zhao Li lowered his head helplessly in the house.
