Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 10 Water for Food
Gu Jinli sat down in shock, ran into the mud pit, looked at the deep mud pit and asked, "
Is the water out?" Yes, he had transported the land with the Yan family from the Gu Damu family and the Xie family from the Gu Dalin family They found out once the water was dug up.
Luo Huiniang walked in with the help of the third grandmother, followed by Gu Jinxiu and Cheng Geer, and then the old woman from the Gu Damu family, Lao Yan.
Old Yan was supported by his eldest grandson Cui Niu, pointed to the mud pit with one hand, and asked in a hoarse and difficult voice: "Is there ~ water ~?"
He took out the remaining bit of water and forced her to drink it, so she could talk.
Madam Yan and Madam Xie walked in tired steps and said happily on their faces: "Mother, there is water coming out from the bottom of the hole, we are safe." After listening to Old Lady Yan,
he said three good times in a row, and tears came out of his eyes.
The third grandfather was awakened by the sound, knowing that the water was coming out, he hurriedly asked father and son Luo to pull the rope to pull the people below.
Uncle Tian was the one who was pulled.
He and Gu Dashan dug the ground together. Initially, the two would rest, but when Brother Damu and Lin came down to replace him, water started seeping from the bottom of the hole. Dashan's brother said that it was dug into an underground waterway. The third grandfather hurriedly asked:
“How much water is coming out?
Ankle, the water just came out. It's a mud yellow.
” He asks father and son Luo to pull others from the bottom of the hole: "The water has come out, you can't stay long at the bottom of the hole, you will drown." .
Gu Damu's brother, Gu Dalin, and Uncle Tian Daqiang's eldest son, Gu Jinan, and Gu Dashan were all covered in mud and their pants were drenched when pulled.
Gu Dashan was the last to appear. After taking a few breaths, he said to the third grandfather: "Sanbo, the water at the bottom of the hole is good. When I went up, the water was knee-high. I patted the wall of the hole three times. It was dense, but there was a layer of sand in the barrier. "
The third grandfather frowned, there was a layer of sand on the wall of the hole, and the entire deep hole was about to collapse.
He confessed: "Don't come down now, hang the water tank with a rope, let's take pains to fetch water, this is better than an accident." Everyone nodded in agreement, and ended up digging for water, but we couldn't kill people for taking
water, not worth it.
After the water comes out, we have to wait for the mud to settle. The third grandfather decided: "Everyone, take a break first, and we'll take the water in half an hour." Gu Jinli said: "Third grandfather, we can take
water now. The water's clear." Need
it took them a long time to dig up the water, and it was now almost dawn, and they did not have much time to wait for the water to settle.
The third grandfather now trusted Gu Jinli very much, so he hurriedly asked him to explain his methods again.
"Take the jug, open the bottom, spread the straw mat, sand, and gravel, and pour dirty water from the mouth of the jug. Once the water passes through gravel, sand, and straw mats, the water flows out of the bottom, and it will be clean water." Gu Jinli explained the method again, adding: "This method was notified to me by the grandparents of the victims." Luo Huiniang's
it used to be thought that Gu Jinli was too stupid to always help the victims, but now he was very envious: "Helping others is still beneficial."
Gu Jinli said with a smile: "Yes, that grandpa is old, has a lot of experience, and knows a lot of local methods." Grandpas
the three looked at the sky and made a decisive decision: "Just follow Xiaoyu's method, everyone hurried Take the water, strain the water, and get enough clean water before dawn."
After everyone heard this, they all started moving, and some men tied the pot to a rope, put it in a deep hole, and started to take water.
The daughter-in-law of each family took out all the items that could hold water, and put all the pots, pots, bamboo tubes, and water bags on the ground.
The third grandmother opened the bottom of the pot and handed the pot to Gu Jinli: "Little fish, take it."
Gu Jinli took out the pot, took out the sand and stones he found while transporting the soil, cut half of the straw mat, then put the straw mat on the ground, cut into small pieces, and then cut into pieces, put it in the bottom of the jar, then pour sand and cover with stones.
Luo Wu had a strong arm, and took the jug, "I'll do it."
Gu Jinli gave him the jug, and found a pot to put under the jar, and waited, then took the water.
Father Luo brought a jug of water and poured it into the jug Luo Wu was holding. Dirty water passes through a layer of straw mat from sand and gravel, and when it flows out again, the turbidity becomes reduced, but not clear enough. .
Seeing the way Gu Jinli was so useful, the third grandfather asked the third grandmother to open another jar, spread out a mat of straw, sand and stone, pour the filtered water into it and filter it again, and this time, clear water came out.
"Oh, Xiaoyu is very strong. The water is as clear as the wells in the village. "
The third granny was overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to fill the pot of water, so she picked up the pot and showed it to the third geezer, and then to the old Yan Shi saw: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look quickly, we have clean water, you can drink it comfortably, don't worry about it.
" throat is broken from thirst.
Old Yan looked at the clear water, and tears kept flowing from his murky eyes ... Finally, there was water, and he was no longer afraid that the children in the house would die of thirst.
The third grandmother felt sour, brought water to the fire, boiled water, let it cool, and presented it to Lao Yan in a wooden bowl: "Drink quickly, brother-in-law." Lao Yan did not refuse the , and took
a bowl of drinking water.
At this point, three pots, four pots, four bamboo tubes, and two water bags had been filtered out.
Gu Jinli looked at the clean water, and finally dared to say his proposal: "Third grandfather, that rich household must also be short of water, why don't we exchange clean water for food with them."
Some of their families were starved of food, especially their families, severely deprived of food!
When everyone heard this, their eyes twinkled, and they all stared at Third Grandpa.
The third grandfather was decisive, knew the importance of food, and made the final decision: "Okay, let's go to a wealthy household to exchange food for water." Uncle
Tian said with concern: "Uncle Gu, if we exchange water for food, the village will not accept it once they find out." Will you throw us out?"
His family had foreign surnames, and they lived carefully in the village, not daring to break the village rules.
The third grandfather sneered and said: "The underground waterway was discovered by Xiaoyu, and the water was dug by us. What can the village say? Change it, and tell the village about the water after the food exchange. "It makes no sense if they're exhausted.Life
and get nothing in the end.
Luo father walked past the arrows and handed them over to look for the rich man to buy water.
Father Luo did not want everyone to be suspicious, so he brought Gu Dashan, Uncle Tian, and Gu Dalin with him.
They did not take much water, took only four bamboo tubes, and rushed out of the mountain towards the resting place of the wealthy household.
Rich households gather to rest, and they are wary of the victims of the disaster, and will not get too close to them.There are family guards who guard the outskirts of the wealthy household retreat, and, surround the tents and carriages of the wealthy households in the middle.
As soon as Father Luo and the others arrived near the resting place of the wealthy family, they were scolded by the patrol yard: "Stop, if you dare to step forward, the sword and staff have no eyes!" Father Luo said: "Brother, we have no evil intentions
. There was extra water inside the house, bring water for the old man to exchange for food. "
Father Luo rolled two bamboo tubes into the middle and said: "It's two bamboo tubes of clear water, one bamboo tube for the brothers to moisten their throats, and one bamboo tube for the brothers, and the other one A bamboo tube filled with water, please take it to master, we will wait for news here." Rich households fleeing from hunger were also deprived of water
, and these housekeepers can only get a small glass of water every day in the nursing home They are very thirsty, nurse master Let the two servants run to fetch water, unclog the bamboo tube, open the, light the torch and look at the clear water inside, drink a few sips, and say to Father Luo, "Wait."
A quarter of an hour later, the nurse came out with a man who looked like a housekeeper, and shouted to them, "Come and talk."
