The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 70 70 Water Storage

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and thought: God is fair, if it wasn't for them pressing step by step, he would not have returned to the former residence to meet the jade, Yu'er. It seems that my grandfather persuaded him that he must fail. Yes, it still makes sense. Encountering fish is God's compensation for him.

   Li Yu saw Zhou Jia smirking at him, and pointed to the road ahead: "Why are you smirking? If you don't look at the road, the mules will burrow into the woods."

   Zhou Jia looked at the children behind him and swallowed the words that came to his lips, "Let's get out of this forest before it gets dark before we can get to a village in front of us, and we'll stay there tonight."

   "Okay." Li Yu calculated the water in his own space in his heart, and then looked back at the nearly 100 or 10th villagers who walked out of breath. He felt that the water was just a drop in the bucket for so many people.

   "The villagers have run out of water. It's better to find water in front to replenish it. Is there enough water in the village?"

   "I don't know how the water is there now, but under such circumstances, even if there is water, the family will not give it to us."

   Li Yu sighed, "That's true! You can't force it!"

   Zhou Jia laughed, "Okay! How about we go up the mountain to be a mountain king?"

   Li Yu gave Zhou Jia a white look, "Fuck you! You are the king of the mountain, and you are almost the same as the prince of the village."

   "Okay, you are the king of the mountain, am I not your lord of the village!"

  The children clapped their hands and cheered, "Oh, Mr. Zhou is going to be the prime minister!"

  The twilight was dim, the villagers dragged their exhausted bodies, gritted their teeth and struggled to move forward. The setting sun stretched the figure of the passerby long, and even the figure looked so tired.

  The car turned a corner and walked through a barren forest. Li Yu saw the village in front of him, turned his head and shouted to everyone, "There is a village in front of the villagers, and we will stay in the village in front tonight."

  Chen Guijia looked up and roared, "I really can't walk anymore." After saying that, he put his shoulders on the ground and sat there slumped, looking up at the sky with tears rolling in his eyes.

   The little girl in Li Yu's car saw her slumped on the ground and called Li Yu anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong with my mother? I'm going down to see my mother."

  Li Yu endured the sourness in his heart and comforted softly, "Your mother is fine, she is just too tired, you will be fine when you go down and rub her."

   The little girl nodded glumly, Zhou Jia stopped the mule cart, and Li Yu took her out of the car and watched her run towards Chen Gui's house.

  Li Yu carried the children and put them on the ground, Xiaodouzi pointed at Chen Zhong, "Sister Xiaoyu, look at my father here."

  Li Yu smiled and patted him, "Okay, let's go find your father!"

  Everyone unloaded the car on an open space by the roadside. Chen Gui found Li Yu with a worried look, "Xiaoyu, my Ah Yin, A Tai and A Chun are all injured, is there any way?"

   "Where are they injured, I have Jinchuang medicine here, you should bandage their wounds first."

  Chen Gui gestured on his body, "A Yin was slashed on his arm, A Tai's shoulder, A Chun was on his back, but the blood didn't flow. It's such a hot day that the wound will be red and swollen."

"Zhou Jia, help Uncle Chen bandage it." Li Yu took out the wine and a clean cotton cloth from the bamboo basket, and handed it to Zhou Jia for Zhou Jia to give Chen Yin, A Tai, A Chun, and after rinsing the wound with wine, spread the gold sores medicine, bandage the wound.

   Zhou Jia smiled after hearing this, "I know you are going to take a break." Li Yu nodded but helped unload the luggage.

   Zhou Jia followed Chen Gui to look at the wounds of several people, and it turned out a little red, and he lowered his head and patiently and meticulously bandaged the wounds of several people.

  Chen Baozhen peeked at the handsome Zhou Jia from one side to another, and after listening to his low and gentle words, ripples appeared in his heart.

   Uncle Zhou and Aunt He were busy. The villagers who lived by the road looked at Li Yu and the others from a distance, with expressions of tension and precaution.

   Zhou Jia and the village chief walked towards the villagers. When the villagers saw someone coming, they all retreated to the fence and closed the fence gate.

Zhou Jia and the village chief walked outside the fence and bowed their hands to an old man with shabby clothes and gray hair, "Old man, you are polite, we are villagers from Xishan Village, Qingshui Town, Qingshan County, because our hometown was plagued by locusts. After fleeing to your land, we will stay in the open space in front for one night and leave early tomorrow."

  The old man looked tired and dusty when he saw the old man, and the young man was also covered in dust and looked handsome.

  The old man felt that the two of them were not like bad people. He opened the fence and walked out. He said to the two with a bitter face, "We have also suffered a disaster here! Look at the fields, there is not even a single leaf left!"

  Zhou Jia took out a bunch of money and handed it to the old man, "Old man, please accept it. I want to ask you where there is water nearby? We want to get some water."

The old man looked at the copper coins in his hand, looked at the chapped lips of the village chief and Zhou Jia, sighed, quickly pointed to the mountain behind the house, and lowered his voice, "There is a path behind my house, you all follow the path. Halfway up the mountain, there is a pond, and there is still water in it, you can go there to get water, remember to be quiet, and remember that you don’t go to the well in the village, you will be driven away.”

"Thank you old man." Zhou Jia and the village chief bowed to thank the old man and returned to the camp, and whispered to Li Yu, "The old man in the village said that there is a pool in the middle of the mountain, and there is still water in it. If we want to be quiet, let's go! "

   Li Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Okay, let everyone transcribe everything that can hold water and give it to us, and we'll go up in batches and fill up everything that can hold water."

Everyone took action, Aunt He and Uncle Zhou emptied the bucket, tied it with rope and handed it to Jixiang, Ruyi and Zhaocai brought the bucket, Li Yu looked at Ruyi and explained in a low voice, "I'll bring it first. The two go up, and you will come back after we have gone for a while, everyone spread out a little and don't crowd together."

   Several people nodded, Li Yu picked up the machete and carried the wooden barrel, took Chen Yaohui and Chen Yaozu to the woods, and walked towards the path behind the old man's house.

   When the three of them arrived at the old man's house, they saw a small path leading to the hillside above.

Li Yu walked up the mountain with the two of them. The trail became more and more rugged. After walking for more than half an hour, the leaves on both sides of the trail also turned green, and the mountain breeze brought a hint of coolness. Li Yu thought to himself: It should be almost there.

  The three of them walked for another quarter of an hour and saw a cave in front of them. The wild grass at the entrance of the cave was lush and green. Li Yu pointed to the cave and said to the two: "Uncle Chen's water pool should be in the cave."

  The three of them approached the entrance of the cave and looked at it with a probe. They saw that it was dark inside and could not see clearly, and they could hear the sound of water dripping, dripping, dripping.

  Li Yu took out a fire stick, lit it, and walked into the cave. He saw a pool as big as a big round table. The water in the pool was crystal clear, and water droplets dripped from the top of the cave from time to time.

  Li Yu happily handed the fire book to Chen Yaohui, "Uncle, hurry up and fill up the water, I'll cut some firewood and make the cave brighter."

"Go!" Chen Yaohui happily accepted the Huozhezi, Li Yu put down the bucket and walked out of the cave with a machete. When he walked outside the cave, he saw Ruyi and two villagers also coming up the mountain, Li Yu pointed to them When I got down to the cave, I found two dead trees in the woods, cut them down and chopped down a few sticks, picked up some dead branches and leaves and carried them into the cave.

  Ruyi quickly helped to ignite the dead branches and leaves and set the fire on fire. Only then did everyone see clearly that the water in the pool was soaked from the wall of the cave.

  Chen Yaohui has filled the wooden barrel, closed the lid and smiled happily, "The learned people are really different. You can see that the water barrels in Mr. Zhou's house are like wine cans, and they can be sealed!"

   Later villagers were also amazed after seeing it, "Sure enough! I knew we would also make two such wooden barrels."

  Ruyi said to Li Yu: "Miss Li, you are waiting for the other villagers here, I will carry the water down first."

  Li Yu brought a wooden stick at the entrance of the cave and handed it to Ruyi, "The way down the mountain is not easy, so use a stick to go down the mountain."

   "Thank you Miss Li." Ruyi squatted down and carried the wooden barrel, leaning on the stick and walking down the mountain quickly.

   Everyone was busy until halfway through the 19th hour, when they filled all the things that could hold water, and after the meal, the staff on duty were arranged to rest assured.

   Cat opened a recommendation today. I saw a lot of book friends who supported cats when they wrote about their farm life. Thank you for your support!

   I wish my new and old book friends a happy and safe family!
