About three acres of rice seedlings were pulled out.
The rice seedlings were already as high as people's thighs, but they were pulled out forcibly. The village chief felt very distressed when he saw it.
But when I thought that all these losses would be compensated by the people of Houhu Village, I was not so anxious or angry anymore.
"Come on, plant all the sweet potatoes on these three mu of land. It's still in time. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to plant sweet potatoes."
No one dared to complain, and everyone kept their heads down and worked hard.
After the village chief left, the old women began to chatter about the fight scene.
"You didn't see Maodan's head. There was such a big hole in it. His face was so pale when he was taken to the hospital."
"Those damn things are really worth a thousand dollars."
"If we can even eat food, what about people?"
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened."
"So what? The feud between Shuixiang Village and Houhu Village has been completely sealed. The ones who are suffering are the girls who married into or from Houhu Village."
"It's fate. There's nothing we can do about it. It's just what they're destined to do."
"Stop talking. My mouth is dry. With the sun so strong, my throat will be burning in no time."
"Do you think the Su family will go find some water? I hope they can find some, so we don't have to save even the water we drink."
"Forget it, you said that to me the other day, who would want to go? I wouldn't go if it were me."
The Su family indeed thought so.
Although they found the water source, they didn't plan to tell the villagers.
Su Qing had decided to help the villagers out of pity for them, but he didn't expect that they were a group of unworthy people.
"Let's go, Cheng Fangyi. Let's go early and come back early."
There was only a shallow layer of water left in the well in Su Qing's backyard.
The water in the underground river used to reach her waist, but now it only reaches her knees.
Su Qing spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy two water tower tanks in the Space Town, intending to fill them with water from the place where they caught river clams.
Each water tower tank can hold four tons of water. If used sparingly, it will be enough for the Su family to use for a long time.
"Wait a minute, while my brother and sister-in-law are not at home, I will take the two water jars away and put them back when they are full."
Although he said so, in the end Cheng Fangyi just took everything in his home that could hold water.
Unlike the barren and dry scene in the village, the mountains are still green.
Various wild flowers are blooming and cicadas and insects are chirping, which is a unique experience.
"Wife, you sit here, I'll go get the water."
The lake is full of stones, and the stones are covered with water plants and moss. If you are not careful, you will slip.
In addition, this is water flowing from a mountain stream, which is always much cooler than ordinary water. Cheng Fangyi was reluctant to let Su Qing go into the water.
Cheng Fangyi was seen pouring bucket after bucket of water into the water tower's storage tank, and soon his back was soaked with sweat.
"Let me join in, we can finish it sooner if we have more people working on it."
Su Qing was reluctant to let Cheng Fangyi work alone, so he rolled up his trouser legs, took the bucket and went into the water.
It’s a pity that I don’t have the financial resources now. I could buy modern machines like pumps, otherwise I would have a lot less worries.
The two of them worked hard for most of the day before they could barely fill up a water tower tank. By this time, Su Qing's arms were already very sore.
"Cheng Fangyi, why don't we find out where the sound of water is coming from? If we can just put the water tank there, maybe we don't have to fill it ourselves."
Before starting to fill the water, Cheng Fangyi had already gone to find the source of the water sound.
But there were big trees and bushes everywhere, and Cheng Fangyi was afraid of getting lost, so he gave up after observing for a while.
"Okay." Cheng Fangyi looked at Su Qing and said firmly.
Su Qing's hair was wet with sweat and was now sticking to her forehead. Her face was flushed from working.
The two of them walked around in circles for a long time but couldn't find where the sound of water came from.
“Chuckle…”
At this time, the rich old man came over with a proud and heroic look, flapping his wings to signal Su Qing and his wife to follow him.
Under Youqian's leadership, Su Qing and Cheng Fangyi quickly arrived at the source of the water sound.
What comes into view is a waterfall two or three meters high. The rushing water hits the rocks, making a crisp sound.
Cheng Fangyi easily placed the water tank of the space town's water tower on top.
The water dripped into the water tank.
Afterwards, Cheng Fangyi and Su Qing began to fill water into the water tank and bucket.
Not far from the waterfall was a field of wild reeds. Youqian took out a wicker basket from somewhere, put it on his head and walked towards the reed marsh.
After a while, he came back with a basket of wild duck eggs.
Su Qing muttered softly: "People are worse than chickens."
Youqian glanced at Su Qing disdainfully, as if to express his agreement.
“Chuckle…”
"You mean there's more in there and you want me to get it?" Su Qing pointed at himself.
Youqian nodded.
After saying something to Cheng Fangyi, Su Qing took out a bamboo basket from the space town.
Youqian led the way while Su Qing picked up eggs. When he encountered a rotten duck egg, Youqian would peck a small hole in it to signal Su Qing not to take it.
By the time Su Qing had finished eating all the duck eggs and Cheng Fangyi had filled the water, the sun was about to set.
"If you have money, will you come home and stay tonight? Should I leave the door open for you?"
Youqian shook his head, saying that he was still busy practicing and accumulating strength.
"Okay, I understand. Just be careful."
After bidding farewell to Youqian, Su Qing and his wife set out on their journey home.
We also met a few old women at the foot of the mountain, and they all asked indirectly if we had found any water source.
