If they wanted to survive the drought, not only did the people in their village have to work together, they also had to unite with the surrounding villages.
However, even though we agreed, we couldn't let the people of Lotus Village think it was too easy.
After hearing what Village Chief Ma said, he immediately felt relieved. As long as he didn't refuse, that was good.
"I have time now. Come on, I'll take you to find Yue's house."
"Thank you so much, bro."
"Don't be polite, it's all for the villagers."
Less than half a cup of tea later, the ox cart driven by Ma Wei stopped in front of the house.
There was a constant stream of people selling locusts in Ma's yard. Even though Village Chief Ma knew that his business was booming, he didn't expect so many people to come.
The village chief often came to my house and stood at the door of Mengyue's room with ease.
"Girl Yue, Village Chief Ma from Lotus Village wants to see you."
"What's wrong, Grandpa Village Chief?"
When Village Chief Ma saw Mengyue coming out, he couldn't wait to say, "Miss, I'm the village chief of Lianhua Village. I'd like you to come to our village and help mark a few places where we can dig wells."
"Five hundred coins for a well."
"Ah!" Village Chief Ma exclaimed in surprise when he heard the price.
"Forget it if you think it's too expensive."
"No, no, I don't think it's expensive. The price is very fair."
He knew very well that if it didn't rain for another month, water would become as precious as food, and even money wouldn't be able to buy it.
What's more, they are digging wells. As long as they find a place with water underground and dig a few more wells in the village, they will no longer have to worry about water shortage. It's just a pity for the crops in the fields.
"Then when can you come to my village?"
Village Chief Ma looked at Mengyue eagerly.
Mengyue, who had originally wanted to talk about tomorrow, found it difficult to refuse the anxious Village Chief Ma, so she said slowly, "Now."
"Oh, okay, okay, come on, Ma Wei, get the girl in the car, we'll go right away."
"Okay!"
Ma Wei excitedly replied to Village Chief Ma, then hurried to Mengyue's side and said enthusiastically, "Miss, please get in the car."
Seeing that the problem was solved, the village chief did not stay long and went to find someone to cut bamboo and select the young people who would go up the mountain with him tomorrow.
Because he was afraid that the cart would go too fast and shake Mengyue, Ma Wei drove the ox cart steadily even though he was very anxious. Finally, after walking for an hour and a half, he arrived at Lianhua Village.
Mengyue took out the disguised geological monitoring instrument from the space and walked around the Lotus Village from time to time.
In the eyes of Village Chief Ma and Ma Wei, Mengyue was just strolling around casually.
A quarter of an hour later, Mengyue stopped, broke off a branch she had picked up on the roadside, and stuck it into the ground.
Village Chief Ma was extremely excited and asked cautiously, "Miss, we can dig out water here, right?"
"Just dig six meters deep."
After that, they continued walking forward. It took them an hour to check out Lotus Village. They estimated that Lotus Village was a little far from the mountains, so they only had to explore three places where they could dig out groundwater.
