v3 Chapter 60： Irrigation problem, dig a well!

Mi Shi immediately shook his head and said, "No, I won't eat it. Originally, I came to get a hoe. My old man is now helping in the valley. He said that there is too little rain this year. The fields are too troublesome, they have to dig ditches, so I just ran for them."

Butler Yang is a restless man, and now he lives in Cuizhu Mountain. If he doesn't do something for the Dong family, he always feels uncomfortable. In this case, it can be more or less helpful.

Gu Shuixiu heard the words, and immediately said with a serious face: "Since this is the case, I will let someone else deliver it, auntie don't run, the **** is not light, how can I get it from here to the valley? It’s not an easy job to say.”

Because of Gu Shuixiu's insistence, Mi Shi had to have her send a **** for her.

Dong Chenghu frowned and asked, "Auntie, what's the situation in Tianli now? I remember it wasn't so serious when we left."

Usually digging ditches means that the water level has dropped to a certain level. They have never dug ditches over the years, "Auntie, I'll check with you later."

Dong Chenghu rested for a few days after coming back, during which Gu Shuixiu didn't tell him these things, he didn't know the specific conditions of the family's fields.

Mi's nodded, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and sighed: "This year's rain is really too little, we have been working in the fields for the past two days, watching the water level for a day It's lower than a day, and everyone's heart is really heavy, especially since we have a lot of fields here, and we need a lot of ground water. Yesterday, my old man said that if it really doesn't work, we can just use picks. Know when to get it?"

Dong Chenghu's eyes widened in shock, "It's already so serious!"

Zuo Qingsong echoed: "It's more serious than you think, because our valley is low, it is more convenient to divert water from the river, but the water level of the river is also falling, and the ditches we dug have reached My waist is so deep, I am afraid that the flow will stop in a few days, and I will continue to dig down.

The Qin family is like us. They also dug a ditch, but we dig in a different direction. According to Uncle Qin, their family is now dispatched to dig a ditches. But if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid that digging ditches is not a long-term solution. "

"I didn't even know the situation was so serious!" Dong Chenghu muttered absentmindedly. For the past two months, they have been busy hunting and escaping for their lives in Qingping Mountain. In addition, the discovery of those skeletons completely diverted his attention, and he did not notice that the weather was abnormal at all!

The precipitation will cause the water level of all the rivers to skyrocket, so they don't have to worry about the problem of irrigating the fields in summer in previous years. It was the first time he encountered this situation.

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do now? According to you, your ditch shouldn't last long. If the irrigation problem cannot be completely solved, this year's grain harvest will probably fail." Dong Chenghu asked with a solemn expression.

Zuo Qingsong shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, either, you don't know the situation of our valley, our main water source is the big river, and the water we eat is from the mountain stream. Spring water, just using spring water for irrigation is obviously unrealistic, and the river is in such a situation, I can't think of a good way."

More importantly, Zuo Qingsong is not a seasoned farmer. He still learns these methods of growing crops from the Dong family. Now Dong Chenghu is asking him this, isn't he asking in vain!

Dong Chenghu saw Zuo Qingsong's helpless face, Shen Shikang and the others looked helpless, and felt helpless for a while, and he was silent for a while before slowly saying: "Well, let's dig a well!"

"Drilling a well?" Zuo Qingsong looked at Dong Chenghu suspiciously, then frowned, "Will you do it?"

"This is a good way. Our Cuizhu Mountain is close to the sea. It stands to reason that the entire Qingping Mountain is dry. We still have some water here. Don't worry about the draft, this is a more feasible way."

The corner of Gu Shuixiu's mouth raised a smile. She didn't expect Dong Chenghu to come up with this method. This method reminded her of the past. If their fields were farther from the pond, they would dig a hole near their field and fill it with water.

Because there are only ponds in their village, and the water in the ponds is not very clean, the water in those pits is also dark green, Gu Shuixiu still has no idea what those pits are used for. , and how deep the pits are, she doesn't know.

Now that she was reminded by Dong Chenghu, she had a flash of inspiration. She thought that the pits she saw on the edge of the field were used for watering, but she wondered if it was as deep as a well?

Gu Shuixiu is still thinking, Dong Chenghu has almost made up his plan, "Let's dig a well in the field and see how far we need to dig a well, after the well is drilled, we will directly drill the well. It is the most labor-saving way to pour the water into the ditches in the fields, but in this way, the children will not be allowed to play in the fields casually in the future, or it will be troublesome if one of them accidentally falls into the field."

"Indeed! Children are the most naughty, and there is no limit to what they can do. If they really dig wells in the fields, they will not let them get close to the fields in the future, or find a way to cover the wells. Get up and open it when you need it, so as to ensure the safety of the children." Shen Shikang said solemnly, he can't talk about these agricultural matters, but when it comes to the safety of the children, he will never be sloppy.

She has lived in the county for so many years, and she knows well that it is not easy to dig a well. How to dig is also very particular, but it is not as easy as Dong Chenghu said.

Zuo Qingsong couldn't help but look at Dong Chenghu, "Chenghu, you meet a lot of people outside, do you know where you can find such people?"

Dong Chenghu thought of it when Dong Yunmei spoke, and immediately looked at Yang Yi, and the two smiled bitterly.
