Nobody admits it.
During this period, the weather has been dry, and even the most resilient weeds have stopped growing in the fields, so there's really not much farm work to do.
Because they were thinking about the medicinal herbs that the doctor at the clinic had mentioned that could be sold for money, they were busy digging for earthworms every day. They had turned over all the wasteland on the mountain, and with a little tidying up, it could be used to grow crops. Who had time to do anything that would anger their ancestors?
"So, did someone waste water?"
In the crowd, someone muttered something in a low voice.
Although he wasn't speaking loudly, his words seemed to be amplified, making everyone around him hear them and instantly silencing them.
Wasting water?
What behaviors are included in this "waste"?
Is washing vegetables twice a waste of water?
Is it wasteful to use the water used to wash vegetables to water the vegetables planted in the yard?
So, is drinking too much water considered wasteful?
So, what exactly did they do wrong that caused their ancestors to stop showing their power?
(︶.?︶?)
The ancient well is separated from Yue Jiuyue's house by only a threshing ground.
Given the proximity and the blessing of "ancestral intervention," Lin Chaobei was the one who went to fetch water the most frequently during this period. Every time he saw the dry well full of water, he would marvel at it.
But on this day, he left with empty buckets just as dawn was breaking, and didn't return until more than an hour later, carrying empty buckets, and was pulled back by Lin Chaonan.
The two brothers looked listless, as if all their strength had been drained and they had suffered some devastating blow. They casually put down the bucket and carrying pole and sat on the ground in a daze.
"Third brother? Fourth brother? What happened to you two?"
Lin Chaodong was filled with doubt.
I was puzzled by the brothers' condition, and also by the fact that they had returned without bringing back a single drop of water.
"Big brother, we're finished! We're all finished!"
Lin Chaobei murmured in despair.
"What do you mean it's over? What happened?"
This seemingly random sentence left Lin Chaodong completely bewildered.
“Brother, the well is dry. People from the village say that someone from our village wasted water and angered our ancestors, so they stopped showing their power. We’re just waiting to die of thirst!”
Lin Chaonan's explanation made Lin Chaodong's heart skip a beat, and Liu Shi, who had just come out to call them for dinner, almost tripped over the threshold.
No water? Are you going to die of thirst?
She was dying of thirst, because the well was close to her home and she could fetch two buckets of water every day. She used the water without hesitation, because if she didn't use it all, there would be nowhere to store the two buckets of water she fetched the next day. So she used up the water from the previous day at breakfast.
Now, they're telling her the well is dry?
She didn't know what other people's situations were like, but her family was definitely going to die of thirst!
She had been thinking of calling people to eat, but suddenly Liu's throat became so dry that she couldn't say a word.
When Yue Jiuyue suddenly woke up, her eyes widened as she saw the sunlight flooding the room; she had indeed overslept!
In her haste, she poured water into the ancient well, not caring if anyone discovered her secret.
After all, the villagers believed that this was a sign from their ancestors; the sudden loss of water was bound to cause some trouble.
Yue Jiuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief after filling the well with water.
She had been hiking and had a fright yesterday, so she fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
She woke up because she was afraid she had overslept, and it turned out she really had.
Hopefully, nothing serious has happened.
