Chapter 105 Finding traces of groundwater
If those people still want to leave with Shen He, it is their own choice and has nothing to do with her.
She walked forward, picked up Liang Huanxue and walked towards the Liang family.
Early the next morning, I heard that several people in the village really followed Shen He and left.
However, these were people who had not been able to get water from Liang Huanxue before.
"Then Shen He can be said to have gotten rid of a threat to the people." Nian Huayue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news.
She was also worried that someone in the village would be deceived by Shen Hemeng. It seemed that everyone had a clear mind.
How could someone like her have such good luck?
I'm afraid there is a trap waiting ahead.
Early the next morning, Liang Huanxue went to the valley again. After some searching, she actually found traces of groundwater.
"Dad, look, there is moss here and dew on the grass. There must be water down there."
Liang Huanxue brought tools, but he obviously didn't know how long he would have to dig by himself, so he asked Huanxue to stay in the bamboo house and went down the mountain to call up all the men from the Liang family.
When other people in the village saw how much of a fuss his family had made, they thought there must be some good news, so they came too.
Everyone gathered at the place Liang Huanxue mentioned and kept digging down with hoes and shovels.
But after digging for an hour or so, the sun had already risen high, and there was no trace of water.
"I don't think there is any water here." Several of them gave up and went down the mountain.
In the end, only Qin Dawei remained here.
"Why don't you leave?" Liang Huanxue still remembered that he couldn't get water from the water hole the first time.
If he had not joined Liu Erzhuang and the others in causing trouble, he would probably not have had any water to drink until now.
"Huanxue said there is water here, so there must be water. Look, the mud is wet." Qin Dawei originally wanted to leave, but when he saw that the dug soil was already moist, he decided to stay and continue digging.
Liang Huanxue didn't expect that he could observe so carefully.
He was right. Seeing such wet soil, it was not far from the groundwater.
"Then what are you waiting for? Keep digging!" Liang Huanxue said, raising the hoe again.
Qin Dawei also continued to dig down.
After about another cup of tea, the water finally came out.
"There really is water!" Liang Shoujiang was surprised.
You know, he never thought Liang Huanxue could find water before.
Who would have thought that his sister was so amazing!
Liang Shoujiang looked at the water that kept coming out, thinking that he would not have to worry so much in the future, "I will just call you big brother from now on!"
Liang Huanxue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's fine."
Qin Dawei held the water in his hand, took a sip, and smiled brightly, "If there is no more water, I am afraid I will take my family and leave here."
"Even if we find water, life in the future may not be easy. If there is someone we can rely on..." Liang Huanxue has been thinking about this problem.
Even if we can solve the current problems, how will we live in the future?
Fleeing from famine is probably something that is difficult to avoid.
Qin Dawei's eyes turned red when he heard this. "Fourth brother of the Liang family, don't worry, I won't say such stupid things again in the future. I will tell them the news of the water out now."
Having said that, he picked up the hoe and walked down the mountain.
Liang Huanxue didn't know how much underground water there was. It was inevitable that some greedy people would set their eyes on this place, so she took out a water storage device and placed it in the well that had just been dug.
The villagers who got the news came up quickly.
They held all kinds of tools in their hands and rushed to the well to fetch water.
The village chief hurried over and squeezed into the crowd.
I accidentally took one extra step and almost fell into the well.
Thanks to Liang Huanxue's quick eyes and hands, she grabbed him.
"I have been to this valley several times before, but I didn't know there was water here. It's really God's blessing, God's blessing." The village chief knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The rest of the people also knelt on the ground with him.
Liang Huanxue didn't kneel, but curled her lips. It was clearly she who found the water source, so why was she thanking God now?
As before, the village chief had people live in bamboo houses to guard the hard-earned water, and only allowed each family to draw one bucket of water a day.
After two days, many families had eaten up their stored food and had to go to the county town to buy more.
The price of rice in the county town has already reached fifty cents per pound, and most people are simply reluctant to buy it.
Even moldy old rice was sold for twenty cents. Many people could not afford good rice and could only buy old rice to eat.
When the Liang family heard the price, they couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had bought some rice and stored it. It was enough for their entire family to eat for a long time.
Liang Huanxue was holding a bowl of cold tea and was about to take out two blocks of ice from the space when she saw two familiar figures.
"Brother Weijiang, Brother Jiaxing!" She put the cool tea aside, ran over and opened the gate, "Why are you back?"
Liang Huanxue stretched her neck and looked back, but found no trace of Liu Chunhua.
Could it be that Liu Chunhua had caused some big trouble in the county town and they couldn't handle it, so they came back for help?
But looking at their expressions, they didn't seem anxious at all.
Liang Huanxue thought about this while she stepped aside to let the two of them in, then went to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of cold tea for them.
When the Liang family heard that they had returned, they all came out of the house.
"Where is Liu Chunhua? Didn't she come back with you?" asked Old Mrs. Liang.
"She's back and lives in her uncle's house." Liang Weijiang replied.
Only then did Old Lady Liang remember that Liu Erzhuang had left with Shen He a few days ago.
If they had gone to Tagang Village, it would have turned into ashes by now.
"Grandma, do you know where my uncle went?" Liang Jiaxing drank a few sips of cool tea and felt much more refreshed.
But he still had a question in his mind.
It's impossible for his uncle to leave home without any reason.
Especially that house, which was cleaned up tidyly and all valuable things were taken away, it looked like they were fleeing from famine.
But his uncle didn't have any special skills, so even if he wanted to escape the famine, he had to follow everyone.
It would definitely not be possible for him to do it alone.
"He followed Shen He to some paradise." replied Old Mrs. Liang.
Liang Jiaxing was a little confused, "What paradise?"
Liang Yuanshan told them what had happened before.
"Isn't this obviously a lie? Where can there be such a good place? Even if there is, Shen He wouldn't know about it!"
"Then he will never come back after he leaves, right?"
Liang Weijiang didn't even notice the happiness hidden in his tone.
