"Brother, are you asleep?"
"Ali, what's the matter?"
Shen Jinshan looked at his sister's sleepy face and said with concern, "Be careful not to grow tall if you sleep late!"
Chen Xinli: "..."
"Brother, come out with me!"
When he heard that his sister was going out, Shen Jinshan immediately put on his worn straw sandals and prepared to go out.
It’s too unsafe for my sister to go out alone at this time of night.
After saying hello to their family, the two of them walked quickly towards the well at the entrance of the village.
It was already midnight and everyone in Qianniu Village had fallen asleep.
About a cup of tea later, the two of them left the well.
No one noticed that the well water had returned to its previous level.
The next day.
"Hey, our well is almost full!"
“This water is so sweet!”
A man who got up early to fetch water was very surprised.
Soon, everyone in Qianniu Village discovered this miraculous thing.
"Fellow villagers, our efforts to dig the culvert must have moved Heaven. Come on, let's keep digging. Maybe we'll have it finished by the day after tomorrow! Then our wheat will be saved."
After a new round of encouragement from Zhao Lizheng, the whole village started working enthusiastically again.
At noon, the second well at the foot of the mountain was also dug.
Several men began to dig channels at the bottom of the two wells in the direction indicated by the sticks according to Chen Xinli's instructions yesterday.
In the evening, people at both ends of the well heard the sound of digging coming from the opposite side.
“It’s working, it’s working!”
"Great! Great!"
The culvert connecting the two vertical shafts at the foot of the mountain has been dug.
Although there was no water yet, everyone understood that the culvert could be dug through.
Yesterday, there was water in the mother well on the mountainside. Although the flow of water was not large, the Feng Shui master had already said that there was an underground undercurrent underneath.
Once all the underground channels are dug and the undercurrent of the mother well is opened, the water can be brought down.
Everyone's face was filled with joy.
Although it was already mid-afternoon, the sun was still incredibly strong.
There was little talking in the crowd. Everyone was very tired, especially the men who were digging the reservoir. They were working with their backs exposed to the sun, and they felt a stinging pain in their backs after working for a while.
Chen Xinli was afraid that everyone would get heatstroke, so she asked the village head to call a few women home to make some medicine to relieve the heat.
The honeysuckle I collected a few days ago came in handy.
Taking a sip of honeysuckle herbal tea, it tastes a bit bitter at first, but after a while, a hint of sweetness can be tasted in the mouth.
"Thank you so much, Li Yatou. I heard this is a medicinal herb and can be sold for money!"
Aunt Li from the headman's house took a sip and found that this was a good thing. She looked at the little girl in front of her and liked it more and more.
Perhaps sensing some other meaning in the other person's eyes, Chen Xinli quickly said, "It's worthless, Aunt Zhao, we have to let everyone drink this summer heat tea quickly. It would be bad if someone gets a heat stroke."
"Yes, yes, yes! Auntie will arrange it right away!"
Aunt Li didn't even bother to talk to Shen Xinli.
She and several other women hurriedly carried several buckets of honeysuckle tea and placed them in the mountains and under the shade of trees for the men who were digging canals and reservoirs to drink.
"This is the honeysuckle tea prepared by the Shen family. If anyone is thirsty, come and have a bowl."
"Oh, thank you, Sister Zhao. I've been working for most of the day and I'm really thirsty."
Lu Dahahua's husband Zhang Youtian drank and thanked Zhao Lishi.
After taking a sip, he finally tasted the unique flavor and said, "The Shen family is so kind. They even prepared herbal tea for us, and it's sweet!"
When Lu Dahua, who was standing by, saw her man's behavior, her face instantly turned dark!
She knew that her man liked tall women like Zhao Li.
Looking at her shriveled body again, Lu Dahua felt uncomfortable.
Normally, I served him like a slave, but he never had a good face towards me. Now, he was chatting with another woman with a smile on his face.
Lu Dahua felt like she was almost suffocating.
He glared at Zhao Li a few times before turning his eyes away unwillingly.
Aunt Li felt an unfriendly gaze sweeping over her, and subconsciously looked over, only to see Lu Dahua's back as she walked away, and she couldn't help but frown.
This woman is always jealous and is lazy when doing work.
Zhang Youtian was also very unhappy when he saw his wife walking away. This woman always tried to save his face. He would definitely teach her a lesson at night!
Chen Xinli was unaware of this little episode. She had already run away with her third brother Shen Yulin and her younger brother Shen Jinlin.
Yesterday she seemed to have seen some fairy grass on the mountainside, but it was too dark and she couldn't see it clearly.
I was busy running around in the morning and didn't have time to check it out.
Fairy grass prefers a warm and humid environment. She was not sure if it really existed here, so she planned to go and find out while delivering the herbal tea.
When the brothers and sisters climbed halfway up the mountain, Chen Xinli suddenly felt in a good mood, it really was!
That is the raw material for making grass jelly.
The large area of fairy grass spread from one side of the mountainside directly into the valley on the other side.
"I'm rich!"
The little girl murmured to herself. Shen Yulin, who was standing beside her, looked at the large patch of plants in front of him in confusion, while Shen Jinlin was chasing butterflies on the mountainside.
"Third brother, this thing is the raw material for making a dessert. The gods said so."
Shen Yulin carefully checked the surroundings and felt relieved when he saw that there was no one around.
These days, the gods have helped their family a lot.
