The whole village is starving, but I have a full warehouse of meat in the mall

Chapter 33 He hasn’t given birth to the baby yet, so nothing can happen to his mother.

"Mom, are you okay?" Ye Sanshu looked at Jiang Wan nervously. He hasn't given birth to the baby yet, so his mother can't be in any danger.

"Do you think something's wrong with me?"

Ye Sanshu looked curious: "Mom, what did you use just now?"

"This is a hidden arrow, used for self-defense."

Looking at the exquisite arrow on the golden-crowned snake, the village head was amazed: "This is the first time I've seen it!"

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "I just picked it up from the street..."

Ye Sanshu looked at the sky and said, "Mom, it's getting dark. Let's go back."

"it is good."

Jiang Wan and his friends said hello to the villagers and went back home.

In the next few days, Jiang Wan took a few kids up the mountain to explore for water sources.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wan carried the ice platform and took the five children up the mountain.

With the patrol team from Lotus Village there, there were no more people from Sophora japonica Village on the mountain, and there was no one at the lotus pond, making it very convenient for Jiang Wan to act.

The soil dug out from the dry pond had become dry and cracked after just one day of exposure to the sun.

Jiang Wan walked to a place where the soil was slightly moist, and asked his four sons to take out the ice stands, pile them on the ground, and light them with a tinder.

The smoke on the ice platform is large, and the smoke will look for a way out downwards. When there is water underground, the smoke will evaporate and rise along with the water. Where the smoke rises, there must be a water source.

Ye Erhai was very curious: "Mom, the ice platform is on fire, what are we going to do?"

Jiang Wan looked at the direction of the smoke and said, "Follow them."

A large pile of ice platforms burned, producing a lot of smoke, which drifted down toward the valley.

A group of six people followed the smoke through a dense forest and reached the edge of the valley. There was actually a gap here, which was a sunken area between two mountain peaks. The vegetation here was particularly lush, and there were many mosquitoes flying around.

The smoke suddenly began to rise here.

"Mom, there is water here!" Ye Sanshu's eyes almost popped out, "There is water flowing out of the cracks in the rocks here!"

In this dry season, there is running water in the mountains!

Ye Dahe collected a few drops of water and tasted it: "So sweet, it's mountain spring water!"

Jiang Wan smiled. It seemed that this method was correct and they actually found the source of the groundwater.

The fact that water can seep out of the rock walls from underground is enough to show that groundwater is very abundant.

The drought problem is half solved.

Tick ​​tock.

The spring water seeps out from the stone wall, drips onto the ground, and returns to the groundwater again.

Several kids gathered around and watched, their eyes filled with surprise.

Ye Erhai was full of disbelief: "Mom, how come you are so smart? How can you find water on the ice platform?"

Jiang Wan certainly wouldn't say that she knew this from a book. She said calmly, "I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect to find the source of water by accident."

Ye Sishan's eyes lit up: "Mom, you are so awesome!"

Ye Dahe was very excited: "I don't have to worry about having no water to drink anymore, the mountain spring water is so sweet!"

Ye Sanshu patted his chest and said, "From now on, the job of carrying water will be left to me. I can carry four trips a day!"

"It takes half an hour to go up the mountain, and one hour to go back and forth. If you go four times a day, that means you're gone for most of the day. Are you so idle all day?" Jiang Wan said unhappily, "It's not that great to have discovered a water source. It would be really great if we could find a way to deliver the water here to our doorsteps."

The five kids fell into meditation.

They could think of nothing else but to carry water...

"Erhai, you are the smartest child in our family. You should think carefully about how to bring the water down the mountain." Ye Sishan was not convinced. He felt that he was also very smart.

He must come up with a good idea faster than his second brother.

The mother and her two children were digging wild vegetables and looking for mushrooms while thinking about how to drain the water.

"Mom, I got it!" Ye Xiaofang said excitedly, "When I was playing in the mud with my fourth brother before, I used bamboo tubes to store water. So can we put the bamboo together and use it to divert water?"

Jiang Wan couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Fang, you are really smart, but the diameter of the bamboo is small, and the amount of water brought down the mountain is not enough. It can only cope with daily life. Is there a better way to bring water down from the mountain?"

She actually already had a rough idea in her mind.

"Mom, can we dig a ditch?" Ye Erhai said slowly, "Dig a ditch from the valley on the mountain, and the water will automatically flow down from the mountain. As much water as there is will flow down."

Jiang Wan laughed: "Er Hai, you and I are thinking the same thing."

······
The sun began to set.

Jiang Wan returned home with her four sons.

She had a good harvest today. Just by looking around, she found three pounds of porcini mushrooms.

In addition, since the big problem of water source had been solved, she was in a very good mood.

After dinner, Jiang Wan went straight to the village head's house. Several skinny children were sitting in the yard picking wild vegetables. The village head's wife was sewing clothes. When she saw Jiang Wan coming, she was a little surprised: "Why is Dahe Niang here?"

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "I'm here to talk to the village chief. Is he here?"

"Inside." The village head's wife scratched her hair with a needle, "Your uncle didn't sleep last night. He will go to the field to check the celestial phenomena later..."

We observe celestial phenomena to predict the weather.

There was not a single cloud in the sky just now as I walked along, and there is absolutely no chance of rain tomorrow.

Jiang Wan stepped over the threshold and walked in. The village head was sitting at the table with a book in his hand, a book about astronomical phenomena.

The village head put down the book and said, "Mrs. Dahe is here."

Jiang Wan nodded slightly: "Uncle Lizheng, I have something to say."

Li Zheng's face became serious. The last time Dahe Niang came over, she told him about Yusun. This time, he felt that it was more important than Yusun.

"I found water in the mountains." Jiang Wan recounted the story in detail. "The water in the valley between the two mountains has never been exploited. It must be very abundant. If we can bring the water down from the mountains and introduce it into the rice fields, we won't have to worry about having no food this year."

The village head stood up suddenly: "Mother Dahe, you can't say such things..."

The Ye family has lived here for hundreds of years and has never found water on the mountain, so it is normal for the village head not to believe it.

Just as Jiang Wan was about to continue speaking, someone rushed in from the doorway: "Village head! It's bad! It's terrible! The last well in the village is out of water!"

There are five wells in Lotus Village.

The well started to dry up half a year ago, and this is the only well left to sustain the lives of the entire village.

Now that the last well has dried up, loud wails suddenly rang out outside the house.

If there is no harvest in the fields, we can still survive by eating tree bark and grass roots. But if there is no water, there is no help from heaven or earth.

The village head listened to the crying outside the house and sighed: "Mother Dahe, now the hope of the whole village rests on you."

"Uncle Lizheng, I never make jokes like this." Jiang Wan said seriously, "But I also have a request."

The head of the village sat up straight. If Ohha Niang hadn't asked him to do so, he would have been a little nervous, fearing that all this was fake.

But since Dahe Niang has made a request, it means that there is most likely true that there is water on the mountain.

"Last year, I separated from the old Ye family and was given ten acres of land, but it barely grew any good crops."

Jiang Wan had just finished speaking when the village head understood what she meant and immediately said, "Mother Dahe, as long as what you said about the water source is true, I will give you the best piece of land in the village, but the price will be expensive..."
