Chapter 220 Feng Shui Treasure Land

"God bless you! God bless you!"

"Lin Xiaoman is indeed blessed. Let's buy a residential plot at the end of the village."

"Don't think too much. We don't know if it's possible or not."

"What depressing words are you talking about? Isn't this a manifestation of the Bodhisattva? Is there water coming out of the Lin family's well?"

"There are more than a hundred households, but there are only five or six buckets of water. How much can each family get?"

"You bitch, Brother Dajiang is so kind that he can give out water for free. If it were you, would you give it out?"

"Don't I have a well?"

"Everyone can make sarcastic remarks. If it were me, I would definitely ask everyone to pay for it. I would sell a bowl of water for five cents, oh no, ten cents. Do you want to buy it?

The woman who spoke knew she was in the wrong and now she remained silent.

"Forget it, forget it, forget it. The head of the village asked us to go over, let's go over and see what's going on."

The heads of more than one hundred households in Shanglin Village gathered at the end of the village.

Lin Dazhu explained the whole story and said that the water was distributed according to each household. Those who had a well at home got one bowl of water. Those who did not have a well at home got two bowls of water. There was no more.

"Uncle Lizheng, can I give water to my daughter?"

The head of the village frowned after hearing this. "There is only so much water anyway. If you want to give it to your daughter, then go ahead. But I have to say this in advance. Anyone who sells the water for illegal activities will be disqualified from receiving water if they are caught. Don't beg for mercy later. It's useless!"

"There is not much water. If anyone dares to waste it, they will be offending the entire Shanglin Village. In the future, everyone must remember the kindness of the river. This water was given by the river. To put it bluntly, your lives were given by the river."

"Uncle, I'll remember this. If I can get through this safely, I will definitely repay Brother Dajiang."

"Yeah, I don't know anything, but I have some strength. I will plow the Dajiang family's land in the future."

"They have cows, and they can plow better than you."

"Then I'll harvest the rice. I can't use cows to harvest rice, right?"

For a moment, the villagers seemed to have escaped from the fear of water shortage, and before their eyes was a field of golden rice ears, bending over and waiting to be harvested.

When people have hope, they seem to have the courage to persevere no matter how hard or difficult the life is.

The villagers, who were originally lifeless, no longer cared about their dry mouths and started talking with lively expressions.

Amid the commotion, the village head coughed and said, "There is one more thing. There is a well in our village that produces water. This matter cannot be told to anyone else. Anyone who tells others will be against the entire village!"

"Also, starting tonight, each household will send a strong man to stand guard in groups of five to prevent other villages from stealing water."

"Okay! We'll provide two." Lin Daniu raised his arms and shouted.

Wang Ergou refused to be outdone, "All five of us brothers can do it!"

......

"Okay, those who are on duty will go to Yao Wen to record their names, and then Yao Wen will notify everyone later."

"Uncle Lizheng, are you going to distribute water today?"

Someone asked the most crucial question, and the villagers below listened eagerly.

"Send it out, today!" The head of the village said with a smile, "Everyone go back and get the containers that hold water, get the tight ones, don't waste them!"

The villagers who brought bowls and basins lined up in the order they arrived without any maintenance.

Arranged in two rows in an orderly manner.

When everyone arrived, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Jingzhe each took a bowl and scooped water for the villagers according to the household names given by the village head.

The one with the mark on it means there is a well at home, so scoop a bowl.

The one without a mark means there is no well at home, so scoop two bowls.

The villagers who got the water did not dare to stay for a moment, for fear that they might bump into others and spill the water. So they all couldn't wait to take the water home.

The elderly and children at home are all waiting for water to drink!

The water in your arms is more important than silver.

There were more than a hundred households, and each household had one or two bowls of water, so the water soon ran out.

The last bowl was taken home by the village head. Lin Xiaoman collected the bucket, and he and Lin Jingzhe carried the empty jar to the corner.

Despite the village head's repeated emphasis, the news that water was coming out of the well in Shanglin Village still spread to Xialin Village.

The two villages are close to each other and have intermarried, so their blood ties are unbreakable.

Some fathers and brothers worry about their daughters and sisters who are getting married out, and some young wives worry about their parents and brothers.

In short, the news that water had come out of Lin Dajiang's well was only kept secret for three or four days.

After spending two days in the yard of Lin Dazhu's house in Xialin Village without any results, he was supported by others and returned to the village tremblingly.

Lin Dazhu felt bad. With such little water, it was not enough for his own village. What could he do?

He thought it would be nice if the well could produce more water.

Lin Dazhu was old after all, and he had been worrying too much over the past few days, so he could hardly get up the next day.

He lay in bed and let his two sons maintain order.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Xiaoman fetched eight buckets of water today!"

With a "bang", the empty bowl in Lin Dazhu's hand fell and broke into pieces.

He thought he was hard of hearing and must have heard it wrong.

Last night he really hoped that Lin Dajiang's well would produce more water, but could God be so wise? Whatever he said would come true?

Lin Yaoguang saw his grandfather throw the bowl excitedly, and was afraid that he was too excited, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, what did you say just now?" Lin Dazhu tilted his ear and asked, "What's wrong with the well?"

It seemed that Grandpa didn't understand, so Lin Yaoguang shouted, "Grandpa, Lin Xiaoman just hung eight buckets of water!"

"Are there really eight buckets of water?" Lin Dazhu stood up excitedly and stretched out his hand. "Quick, help me over. I want to see it with my own eyes."

Lin Yaoguang supported Lin Dazhu and walked towards the end of the village.

Now Lin Dazhui's legs were no longer sore, his waist no longer hurt, and he was no longer dizzy. With the support of his grandson, he walked very fast.

When they arrived at Lin Dajiang's house, the villagers who had been queuing up to get water gathered around the well and looked down one by one.

What is so special about this well? Why does it produce water every day, and more each day?

Lin Xiaoman shouted at the side: "Fellow villagers, please make way, please make way."

The villagers didn't listen at all and kept pushing forward. Those who were at the front refused to leave, as if they would not be able to enjoy the blessings of the well if they left.

Seeing that they didn't listen, Lin Xiaoman didn't get angry. She just kept talking to herself in a calm tone, "You two are so curious, pushing and shoving each other, making a lot of noise. Be careful that God will get tired of you and won't give you water."

what?

No water coming out?

Is this okay?

The villagers who were originally pushing and shoving each other immediately dared not move.

Lin Xiaoman looked at the crowd and said, "Don't push. Everyone line up to get water."

When some people saw that there was too much water, they begged for more water. Two bowls for a family were really too little. After each person drank four or five sips, it was gone.

"Hit more, we have a big family, and they are all boys..."

"There are eight people in our family. Please be kind and bring us more water..."

There were many such remarks, but Lin Xiaoman ignored them all.

Later, he got really tired of listening to it, and then he said angrily: "The rules cannot be broken. You have to scoop as much as you want! If you think it's not enough, find some water yourself..."

As soon as Lin Xiaoman said this, the villagers immediately fell silent and shut up completely.

Yes, the water belongs to Lin Dajiang’s family.

The Lin family said they gave it out of respect for being from the same village. If they didn’t give it, they would have no choice.

After the villagers had received their water, Lin Dazhu spoke up, "That's great, that's great. Last night I was thinking it would be great if there was more water. I didn't expect that the well water is really more than last year."

Lin Dazhu asked Lin Dajiang, "Dajiang, what are you going to do with the extra water?"

Lin Dajiang humbly asked, "Uncle, what do you think?"

Lin Dazhu thought of the staggering steps of the people who left Xialin Village a few days ago. They were all from the same roots a hundred years ago, and he couldn't bear it. "Xialin Village is short of water. Selling the extra water to them can be considered a good deed. Otherwise, the people who were saved with great difficulty that day would still die."

Lin Dajiang did not comment, but only asked one question: "Uncle, even if we sell three buckets of water to Shanglin Village, they won't have enough to share."

Lin Dazhu was in a heavy mood. "At least I can survive, right? Only by living can we see hope. What if...it rains soon?"

Lin Dajiang turned to look at Lin Xiaoman, asking with his eyes.

Lin Xiaoman nodded. There was plenty of water in her space.

They are all ordinary people. As long as her space is not exposed, she will save as many as she can. There is nothing she can do if there are more.

At worst, we can just pour more water into the well tonight.

Lin Dajiang looked at Li Taohua again and saw Li Taohua nod, so he said, "In that case, how much do you think is a suitable price for a barrel?"

Lin Dazhu was stumped for a moment.

Water is not valuable on normal days, but now, even ten taels of silver may not be enough to buy water.

Nowadays, water is life-saving and life-saving medicine is worth a fortune.

Lin Xiaoman thought about it. They were not selling water to make money, they just wanted a name. "How about 50 cents for a bucket of water?"

"Fifty cents?" Li Taohua exclaimed, then she thought that fifty cents was not expensive, considering the time.

The village head stroked his beard and nodded, "I think it's OK, fifty cents, Xialin Village can afford it."

-

That night, Lin Xiaoman ran to the well to drain water while his parents were sleeping.

She sat quietly by the well with one hand in it.

Water continuously flows out from the tip of the index finger and falls into the well.

If there were someone here, they would definitely be scared by such a scene.

Lin Xiaoman collected the water from the villa kitchen and put it into buckets during the day.

In fact, she only needed to enter the space, take out the basin, and then pour the water in, but the probability of being discovered by going in and out would greatly increase, and it was not justifiable to carry a basin for no reason in the middle of the night.

Moreover, the pots in her space are all modern products and did not exist in ancient times. When her parents asked her about it, she had to make excuses.

If you are careless too much, your parents might become suspicious.

Later, she used her mind to draw the water out. Although it was time-consuming, it was less risky.

Even if someone found out, she could just explain it off by saying it was too hot and she couldn't sleep.

This time, she deliberately put in two more buckets of water and spent a little more effort.

After peeing, she felt a little weak and tired. After all, working with the mind takes a lot of mental effort.

When I got back to the room, I didn't even bother to think about the space and just fell asleep.

He slept until the next day.

Lin Xiaoman was awakened by loud shouting outside.

"It's so noisy!" Lin Xiaoman stretched lazily in dissatisfaction, and then heard a noisy sound outside.

"Today we have ten buckets of water! The water in the treasure well is increasing. The drought will surely be over!"

"Ten buckets, can you give me an extra bowl of water today? Two bowls a day are not enough to quench my thirst."

"During this special period, giving you water is already a gesture of kindness from the Lin family. Do you still want more? Dream on!"

"Woo woo woo... We brought silver to buy water, please give us two more buckets. Xialin Village is seriously short of water, and we can't stand it anymore."

......

Lin Xiaoman put on her clothes and went out. Lin Jingzhe was leaning against the wall at the door of her room.

"Hey, brother, why are you here?"

"Why are you sleeping so soundly today?" Lin Jingzhe looked at him suspiciously, "I called you at least three or four times, but you didn't respond."

Lin Xiaoman stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and explained, "Brother, it was too hot yesterday and I couldn't sleep, so I walked around in the yard. Maybe I slept too late and couldn't get up today."

"It's good that you're awake, little girl. There's a bunch of mess outside. How can I not protect you?"

Lin Jingzhe looked cynical and casual, but Lin Xiaoman knew that he must have been guarding the door for a long time.

Lin Xiaoman thanked Lin Jingzhe with curved eyebrows and raised corners of his mouth, and thanked him in an extremely clear voice.

"Thank you, brother."

Lin Jingzhe raised his mouth high and snorted, "Now you know that Brother is fine, right? You should be nicer to me next time. I think you should make more delicious food to honor me~"

Lin Xiaoman narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Let's wait until the drought is over." Lin Jingzhe was depressed for a moment.

It hasn't rained for many days and the weather is too hot. The rabbits have been feeling lethargic and eating little, let alone reproducing.

I don’t know when this kind of days will end.

I don’t know whether the grain tax will be reduced this year. If not, Shanglin Village, which has finally made some progress in the past two years, will have to return to the days of hunger and cold.

Lin Xiaoman could roughly tell what he was thinking from his eyes.

"Don't think too much. It won't help." Lin Xiaoman comforted.

But Lin Jingzhe became even more depressed, "Xiao Man, if you don't know how to persuade me, don't do it. I'm not comforted by you at all. Instead, I feel even more upset..."

"Okay. Hey, Daddy wants us to come over!" Lin Xiaoman wanted to persuade them, but then he saw Daddy waving at them by the well, "Dad, here I come!"

As he said this, he pushed the depressed Lin Jingzhe forward.

"Let's go. We are too insignificant to deal with natural disasters and man-made calamities. The more we worry, the more sorrow we will suffer. Instead of worrying too much, it is better to live like the tenacious weeds in the ground, which will grow again in the spring breeze."

But soon, Lin Jingzhe no longer had the energy to think so much.

After Lin Dazhu and the village head of Xialin Village had discussed it, Xialin Village head convened villagers for discussion overnight. The water from Shanglin Village at 50 cents a bucket must be bought!

That's all they should be grateful for.

Not to mention fifty cents, even if it’s one or two taels of silver a barrel, they will buy it!

What is more important than life?

As a result, those queuing here were not only the villagers from Shanglin Village waiting to get water, but also the head of Xialin Village and a dozen strong men.

Originally, they had only heard that there was water coming out of a well in Shanglin Village, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

Now, seeing Lin Dajiang fetching ten buckets of water, he was still surprised.

What a Feng Shui treasure land this is, so enviable!
