Chapter 1382: No Rain (Part 2)
Lu Xiaoxiao was digging herbs in the paradise until five o'clock in the evening, so she planned to go down the mountain. Since this outdoor paradise was not affected by the outside climate, she didn't have to worry about the things in the paradise dying of drought.
When Lu Xiaoxiao came back home from the mountain, she saw Liu Ermei standing at her door, so she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Ermei, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"It's okay. I just wanted to see if you got home safely. Now that you're home safely, I'll go home."
"Thank you, second sister."
"It's only natural for friends to care about each other, so you don't have to say thank you to me."
"good."
After Liu Ermei left, Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door and entered the yard. After entering the yard, she put all the herbs in the basket into the space. She came back late today, so she planned to process the herbs tomorrow. She was already tired all day, so she decided to rest early.
Time passed slowly without us noticing, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a week later. It still didn't rain in the past week, and the team leader has arranged for the village's cows to fetch water. The villagers have been carrying water to irrigate the fields from morning to night since yesterday. Because the land is vast and there are few people, the villagers have been carrying water almost without rest for the past two days, which made them extremely tired.
The captain frowned as he saw the villagers were so tired that they were staggering when walking. He knew that the method of manually carrying water to irrigate the fields might work for a day or two, but it would definitely not work if it continued for a long time.
But he now had no better way to solve the problem of water shortage in the fields, so he could only let the villagers grit their teeth and carry water to irrigate the fields.
"Captain, we can't let the villagers carry water like this anymore. Their bodies are almost reaching their limit. If they continue like this, their bodies will collapse from overwork." When the captain notified the villagers to fetch water, Lu Xiaoxiao began to pay attention to the physical condition of the villagers.
This afternoon she noticed that many people were exhausted from overwork and heatstroke, so she came to find the captain. She really couldn't bear to watch so many people exhausted.
"I know we can't let them carry water like this any longer, but the fields are short of water now. If we don't carry water to irrigate the fields, all the crops in the fields will die of drought."
"Captain, is there no other way to get water?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the captain.
"No."
"Then do you know where else there is water in the village besides that river?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain thought about it and actually remembered a place with water. However, that place was nearly two hundred meters away from the field, so he still had to fetch water.
"I know there is a place with water, but it is nearly 200 meters away from here and I still need to carry water."
"Captain, where is the place you mentioned? Can you take me to see it?" When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the captain say that there was water in other places, she planned to ask the captain to take her to see it.
"Okay, I'll take you to see it now."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao followed the captain for five or six minutes, she came to the foot of a mountain, and then she saw spring water flowing down the mountain.
"Captain, I have thought of an idea, but I don't know if it can be implemented." When Lu Xiaoxiao saw the spring, she thought of a way to divert water, but she didn't know whether there were soft water pipes in this era, so she said she didn't know whether the idea she came up with could be implemented.
