Chapter 1498: Willing but Incapable
Lu Xiaoxiao was very excited after hearing the captain's words, but no matter how excited she was, she had no way to help the village solve the water shortage problem.
"Captain, I have helped in every way I can. Now I am unable to help anymore." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the captain.
The captain frowned after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. Now even Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't solve the current difficulties. Could it be that their village really couldn't get over this hurdle this time?
Seeing the captain's expression, Lu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said, "Captain, you can go and see how other villages solve the problem of water shortage. Maybe other villages have ways to solve the problem of water shortage."
"Okay, I'll go to the nearby village this afternoon, but if you can think of a solution to the water shortage, you must tell me."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she immediately went to her own well to see if the water level in the well had dropped. After watching for a while, she found that the water level in the well was still the same as before, which proved that the water level in the well had not dropped, which was good news.
After checking the condition of her own well, Lu Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen to cook, but she was obviously absent-minded while cooking today because she was thinking about how to solve the problem of water shortage in the village.
"Why isn't the pot hot for such a long time?" Lu Xiaoxiao was preparing to cook noodles, but the water in the pot took a long time to boil, so she walked to the stove to see if the fire was out.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the stool behind the stove and sat down. Then she looked into the stove and saw only a small flame in the stove, and the other firewood was not burning at all. It seemed that there was too much ash in the stove. If she didn't clear the ash, she wouldn't be able to light the fire no matter how hard she tried.
Wait? Unclogging and cleaning... Yeah, why didn't she think of this before? She was so stupid.
Lu Xiaoxiao was just about to put out the fire and go to the captain's house to tell him the solution she had thought of, but she suddenly remembered that the captain might have gone to another village at this time, so she could only wait until the evening to go to the captain's house to find him.
After lunch, Lu Xiaoxiao was planning to take a nap in her room, but as soon as she lay down on the kang, she heard someone knocking on the door, so she had to get off the kang and go to the yard to open the door.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaozhi is missing." Liu Ermei immediately said to Lu Xiaoxiao when she saw Lu Xiaoxiao.
"What's going on?"
"This morning, Xiaozhi went to dig wild vegetables with his third and fourth sisters, and then Xiaozhi disappeared."
"When did the third and fourth sisters find out that Xiaozhi was missing?"
"When they finished digging wild vegetables and were ready to go home, because it was too dry, the three of them split up to dig in three different directions. That's when Xiaozhi disappeared."
Lu Xiaoxiao fell silent after hearing what Liu Ermei said. She didn't dare to guarantee that Liu Zhi was safe now, because there were many human traffickers in this era. If Liu Zhi was abducted by human traffickers, he would be in great danger.
"Have you ever looked for anyone near the place where you were digging wild vegetables?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Ermei.
"We looked for him. We not only looked for him near the place where we were digging wild vegetables, but we also looked for him in the village. But no matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find him."
"Don't worry, think about who has a grudge against Xiaozhi."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "I know, I know who arrested Xiaozhi."
