Liu Zhenmeng was silent for a long time, and he decided that his son must continue reading and read useful books no matter what.
These words really stayed with Baoer during the turbulent time he was going through, and they did not affect his original intention of studying. This also laid the foundation for him to enter university in the future.
I got into Kyoto University with the highest score in the province, but that’s another story.
"The things are here!" When Liu Zhenguo came, he was followed by Yang Feier and a few people Liang Qi didn't recognize.
"I heard that you are going to go into a man-eating pit?" one of the older men asked impatiently.
"Don't go down there, there are really people eating man-eaters there." Another woman said fearfully.
Liu Zhenmeng looked at Liang Qi and asked, "Are you still going down?"
Liang Qi nodded.
"It's like this. Connect the ropes, tie them tightly, and tie them into knots." Liang Qi looked at Liu Zhenmeng and said.
"Okay," Liu Zhenmeng gritted his teeth. He was going to starve to death anyway, so if he could find water, it would be worth dying for.
Suddenly he thought of the phrase "No destruction, no construction", which was once said by his father.
As a man, he is not as courageous as Liang Qi.
"Hey, kid, why don't you listen to the old people's advice? You can't do any harm by eating people's food." The woman who spoke before shouted again.
"Sister Huaihua, there might be water underneath. If we find it, we'll have the conditions to survive. Otherwise, if it continues to be so dry, what awaits us will be..." Liu Zhenguo suddenly said seriously, and everyone understood what he didn't say afterwards.
No one else said anything.
"Boss, I support you." Yang Feier looked at Liu Zhenmeng solemnly.
"Thank you, my wife. We will definitely find it." Liu Zhenmeng promised Yang Feier with emotion.
The others also arrived, and since they couldn't persuade him any more, they could only help to string the ropes together.
Pull on each knot to test whether it is secure.
Liang Qi also tried, but all the knots were deadlocks.
"Okay, I'll go down and take a look. You guys pull the rope." Liang Qi looked at everyone's fearless expressions.
"I'll go down. I'm a man, and this is a matter of our village. There's no reason to let you go down. You've helped me so much, I can't let you go down." Liu Zhenmeng said hurriedly.
Grab the rope from Liang Qi's hand.
"You can only get a rough idea if you go down. I'll go down to take a look and make an estimate so that I know how to start digging. Besides, I'm a woman, so I'm lighter and can save effort." Liang Qi said calmly.
These words made Liu Zhenmeng unable to argue anymore.
"We'll tie two ropes when the time comes," Liu Zhenmeng could only guarantee Liang Qi's safety.
The others also carefully checked the rope.
"Let's go," Liang Qi asked Liu Zhenmeng to lead the way.
Soon the group stopped not far from the man-eating pit.
"We can't go any further!" Liu Zhenmeng said to Liang Qi.
"Oh, okay, I'll tie it up first. You guys hold the rope while I go take a look." Liang Qi said with a relaxed look.
The others looked a little solemn, but in the end they checked 360 degrees and found that there was no problem.
Liang Qi then walked forward.
"Loosen the rope a little, don't pull it so tight," Liang Qi was pulled and couldn't move forward.
"Relax!" Liang Qi had already reached the edge of the pit.
This man-eating pit really does eat people. People who can't swim will never come back. The pit walls are steep and it's not easy to climb up.
Because what comes into view is a huge sinkhole.
It looked like it had been hit by a meteorite. The lowest layer was indeed water, and the color of the water was very dark.
A giant bowl seemed to have been smashed through by a meteorite, and the water underneath the bowl was released due to pressure.
The landslides in the surrounding area are also caused by the slowly rising water level, which erodes the surrounding soil, resulting in soil falling off in patches.
The hole is getting bigger and bigger.
"Liang Qi, what happened? Did you see clearly? Come back quickly." Liu Zhenguo shouted hurriedly.
Everyone only knew that Liang Qi stood there without moving.
Liang Qi was still thinking when he felt something pulling on his waist.
Then he turned back.
"It's okay, there's a water jar underneath," Liang Qi had been pulled back by them.
"Is this true?" asked the older man Liu Guodong.
I was so excited that I kept confirming it over and over again.
"Is Liang Qi real?" Liu Zhenmeng still couldn't believe it.
"Okay, now we've found enough water to supply the crops, but you still need to cut some bamboo and connect the pillars. Each section must be airtight and watertight."
Liang Qi untied the rope on his body and continued.
"We don't have any bamboo here. Can we use the one from Qingshan?" Liu Zhenguo whispered.
Liang Qi thought that the mountain had already been planned for Yangyu Village.
"You need to discuss this matter with Uncle Li later. The mountain has been allocated to our village." Liang Qi looked at Liu Zhenguo and said.
"Ah, such a big mountain, is it your village's now?" Liu Zhenmeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, we can't mine that mountain on a large scale either. Otherwise, if there is a heavy rain in the future, mudslides will easily occur and bury the villages below." Liang Qi gave a preventive measure in advance.
You can't cut and cut randomly.
"Okay, I'll discuss this with Uncle Li." Liu Zhenmeng said happily.
As long as there is hope and a way, he will do it no matter how difficult it is.
"Okay, if we want to build a reservoir in this big pit, it might cost money. If you really don't have the money, you can ask the commune if they can help you solve the problem." Liang Qi suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Qi saw that everyone looked embarrassed. They had no money, but they had to pay this part of the money.
When the reservoir in Yangyu Village was being built, the money was finally raised and given to the people.
Liang Qi continued, "The money for the reservoir repair will be paid later, but you can't default on it."
Liang Qi knew that Huang Sihai was a man who was easy to talk to and who did everything for the people, so he would probably repair it for free.
"It is absolutely impossible for us to default on this debt. We in Liujia Village are the most trustworthy." Liu Guodong immediately guaranteed.
"That's good. Let me tell you. We'll act separately and I'll draw the blueprint when we get back." Liang Qi thought it was almost done.
It is suggested to go home and discuss what should be discussed, and then execute what should be executed.
Liujia Village began to carry out construction vigorously.
This attracted other villages to come and take a look. They were all drought-stricken villages, so why could Liujia Village do it but they couldn't?
The commune held a meeting the next day, and the issue was indeed relief food, as well as how to solve the famine problem in other drought-stricken areas.
"Comrades, there is some bad news today. Zhuangwan County is not in the emergency zone, so the commune has to find a solution on its own." Fang Zhengyi said solemnly.
As soon as this was said, the village leaders and secretaries sitting below began to chatter. Some complained, "We submit our payment every year, without fail. How come when we need it, they just tell us to take care of it ourselves? They just dismissed us?"
There were many dissatisfied voices in the crowd.
