9. Chapter 9 Running Out of Water
The Gu Damu and Gu Dalin families had many children. The two brothers have given birth to eight sons and six daughters. There was also a weak and elderly mother. A large family consumes a lot of water.
Gu Damu felt very sad when he thought of the children who cried thirsty but had no water to drink. But he was the head of the family, and the decisions he made were related to family life, so he had to be careful.
The eldest son Gu Damu sat on the outskirts with the children of several families, blocking the view of the victims and preventing them from seeing adults discussing the matter. This job is our family's way of life, we have to do it." Gu's son
Dalin heard what his cousin said, and followed him: "Uncle, brother Qing Liang is right, we are willing to do this job, we are not afraid of being tired." Work harder
What are you afraid of?
As long as there is water, all difficulties are not in vain.
Seeing the children's support, Gu Dalin persuaded again: "The children are all willing to do it, and they are not afraid of difficulties. Brother, don't hesitate, make a decision quickly. Great people don't have much time to wait for our families.
" As for the family matter, said third uncle, this matter should be decided quickly.
Gu Dalin added another sentence: "My brother, my mother hasn't drank water all day, and I can't find any water tonight, what will my mother drink tomorrow?"
Gu Damu was always filial, thinking that his mother was also so. thirsty to speak, Finally, he patted her on the thigh and said, "Uncle San, our family has done this job, our family has done this job, so we're gonna dig up some water tonight." When Grandpa San heard
this, a smile appeared on his dark and solemn face: "Okay, since everyone is willing to Dig up the water, then this matter is solved, so, we will gather at the entrance of the mountain within half an hour, and go to the mountain to dig water together.” Once the problem is resolved, each family takes action, and
the Tian family, the Gu Damu family and Gu Dalin brought their children back to their respective homes Rest, dinner, and packing usable tools.
After the Gu Dashan and Cui families left, they came to the resting place of the third grandmother's house. Both had wounds on their faces. Cui's face had a clear five-finger palm print. There's a swollen one.
The third granny was furious upon seeing him: "The older Pan is, the more poisonous he is. Why did God not send lightning to kill him. "
Gu Jinli found an underground aqueduct and told Gu Dashan and Cui about the fact that some families would dig up water in the mountains overnight.
Gu Dashan and Cui's eyes twinkled upon hearing it, and their hands trembled in excitement: "Yes, there is a source of water." The little fish found it.
The third grandfather nodded: "Alright, you two go to dinner quickly, you have a lot of work tonight, you're full."
They had already eaten, and left three, two for their husband and wife, and one for Chu. Shi'i.
Gu Jinxiu brought dinner for the two of them, a chowder made from Sichuan herbs, nuts, leaves, and grass roots in a wooden bowl.
The couple took it and ate it, it was very strange, but it was the only cooked food they had eaten in the past few days, Cui ate it with tears in his eyes.
After they finished dinner, Third Grandfather, Father Luo, and Luo Wu had packed up their equipment and tied it to their bodies.
Luo's father knew that Madame Gu was in charge of the Gu family's iron tools and pots. Gu Dashan had no tools, so he handed over the shovel and two jugs of water to Gu Dashan: "Take it." Gu Dashan received thanks
Guo: "Second brother Luo ..."
Luo's father smiled wholeheartedly: "Don't say anything, you've drilled a well with his master, and you've got to work hard tonight." Grannies
the three also put down the iron pot, the water can, the bamboo tube, and the rope all distributed to some children and tied to them: "Hanging everything, I will use it tonight."
Gu Jinli also carried his own straw mat on his back, and said to the third granny: "Third granny, let's bring the straw mat as well."
"Yes, yes, bring the straw mat, and you have to take turns digging in the middle of the night for a break, and you need to use the straw mat ." The third granny hurriedly brought her own straw mat, and Luo Huiniang also brought her own straw mat when she saw this straw mat.
Gu Jinli smiled, he not only wears a straw mat to rest, but also has other uses.
After everyone had tied everything up, the third grandfather looked at the completely dark sky and said, "Xiaoyu and the Luo family will leave first, we will wait half a quarter of an hour before setting off, we will all walk in darkness, gather in the mountain pass, and light a fire after entering the mountain." Lefs go. "
Although their resting place was far away, there were many disaster victims around, and if there was too much movement, it would attract attention, so they had to leave in groups.
The darkness of night enveloped them.
Two quarters of an hour later, the five families met at the mountain entrance After lighting the torch with torches, they walked together towards the deep mountain.
Gu Xiaoyu walked in front to show the way to everyone, after walking briskly for half an hour, she finally reached where she picked Sichuan herbs.
Chu and Aunt Tian were not here, and Luo's father shouted anxiously: "Mother, this is us, come out."
Hearing Luo's father's voice, Chu brought Aunt Tian out of the grass: "We thought it was us. They are victims of other disasters, and they hide for fear of danger."
Chu looked at the large group of people with torch light, and said with a smile, "Everyone is here." Even the old lady Gu Damu and Gu Dalin came, so it could be seen that everyone was emphasizing on the water source.
The third granny handed him the dinner she brought: "Eat fast."
Tian Erhua also handed over the dinner prepared for Aunt Tian.
Gu Jinli brought everyone into the small hole dug earlier, stuffed the wooden stick into the small hole, and took out the muddy wet ground: "Third Grandfather, look." The third grandfather took out a wooden stick and saw the muddy wet ground above
. Tu, nodded vigorously: "There must be water on the ground, so dig here."
Luo's father was a burly and strong bodyguard, and he brought Luo Wu and the two of them to hoe together.
The third grandfather said beside him: "First dig a big hole three meters wide, then dig deeper."
The dug wells are all funnel-shaped, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, then deepened.
The father and son of the Luo family were extremely strong martial arts practitioners, and quickly dug a hole three meters wide, one that was, then follow the hole to reduce the area and continue to dig deeper.
The daughters and daughters-in-law of some families are responsible for transporting the land, if nothing needs to be packed, they pile the excavation soil on straw mats, and they pile the dirt on straw mats, and some kids brought straw mats to take the land away.
Other strong workers who could dig the ground were resting beside them. I don't know when they're gonna dig tonight, and they're gonna have to take turns. Otherwise, such a heavy job would kill people.
The father and son of the Luo family were extremely strong, in less than an hour, the father and son had already dug a mud pit three meters deep.
Seeing the two pale from exhaustion, the third grandfather hurriedly called them to rest, woke Gu Dashan and Uncle Tian up, and let the two of them down the hole.
Gu Dashan and Uncle Tian had been impatient for a long time, they tied the rope to the hole and continued digging.
The eldest son Gu Jin'an and Uncle Tian followed, stuffed the excavated soil into a pot, and moved it out of the mud pit.
Half an hour later, the depth of the mud pit was more than a meter, Gu Dashan and Uncle Tian fainted from exhaustion and were lifted out of the mud pit.
The third grandfather hurriedly asked: "Has the water already come out?"
Gu Dashan shook his head
: "The bottom of the hole is muddy, and no water has come out yet." The third grandfather frowned and called Gu Damu and the Gu Dalin brothers: "Down and dig."
"Hey." Brothers Gu Damu and Gu Dalin responded, tying the rope and descending into the mud pit.
After the Gu Damu brothers were too tired to dig, the third grandfather, Gu Qingliang, and cousin Gu Qingtian descended into the pit to continue digging, and when they could not dig, they were unable to dig, they changed again ... Some families took turns digging, and they were very busy
the clock has not seen water.
While helping to transport the land, Gu Jinli waited anxiously until he fell asleep from exhaustion, only to be awakened by cheers: "The water is out, the water is out!"
