At three or four in the afternoon, although there is still a little bit of sun shining on the ground.

But it didn't feel much warmth.

When I came, I was daring and tired.

So it doesn't feel too cold.

When I go back now, I have nothing in my hand. It all feels cold, because the temperature is close to below zero now.

"Xiao Chuan, San San said that we will start digging the canal tomorrow. You will command it at that time."

Zhao Dafan led the donkey cart to his side and said to him.

At this time, there were piles of baskets and poles stacked on the car.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

Indeed, it is already below zero now, if you don't do it again, it will get colder and colder later.

It might snow someday.

"What about Captain Zhao and the others? Won't you come tomorrow?"

Zhao Dafan shook his head lightly when he heard the words, "The three said that there is something to do, and I won't be able to make it tomorrow. You can arrange it when the time comes."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded after hearing the words, "Okay, let's see tomorrow."

Facing the cold wind, everyone walked towards the house.

Back home at night. It was already dark and safe.

The two of them were already asleep.

He came alone to the cave where the ox stayed before.

Zhao Baolin's speed is still quite fast.

He got what he wanted in less than a week.

At this time, the cave was dug to a depth of six or seven meters by him. It's about the same depth as a normal home's cave.

The previously wet ground was shoveled and dusted with some dry ash.

But the air was still filled with a faint smell of beef.

There is no heated kang.

And the roof and surrounding are not trimmed, it looks a bit mottled.

However, there are rows of shelves on both sides of the cave at this time.

The shelf has four layers, the arm-thick wood is used as the shelf, and the base is made of thin wooden sticks, and rows of wooden boxes are neatly placed on it.

There is soil in the box.

There are some vegetables growing in it, but they haven't sprouted yet.

He got a brazier and put some firewood in the open space in the middle, and then he closed the door and left.

The next morning.

Pushing open the door, it was a little frosty outside.

People get up early in the morning.

Most of the labor force in the village was dispatched, along with some half-sized boys.

Carrying shovels, pickaxes and baskets of poles.

As for the remaining laborers in the village, they went out to make firewood.

There is no firewood to burn the kang in winter, it is very uncomfortable.

And cooking requires firewood.

Just relying on those corn stalks and corn cobs is not particularly resistant to burning, and cooking is okay, but it is a little tired to burn the kang at night.

If you want to live comfortably in winter, you have to go for firewood.

It's a long and long process to get firewood, until it's enough, or it snows heavily.

And these people have an important task.

That is, there are several acres of potato and sweet potato fields on the opposite side of the mountain.

The public grain has been handed in, and it is time to dig it out.

The crowd came to the cornfield.

They all set their eyes on Zhou Xiaochuan's side.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Zhao Dafan, "Did I bring the hemp rope you prepared? Is it long enough?"

Hearing his words, Zhao Dafan smiled: "You have arranged it, how could you not bring it, don't worry, it is enough to get to Tian's side."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

"Well, hook up the rope. All the way to the spring."

Zhao Dafan nodded when he heard the words and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone take out the hemp ropes and connect them together."

When everyone heard the words, they took out the hemp **** in the pick and tied a slipknot at the interface.

Hemp ropes are long and short.

The shortest is five or six meters, and the long one is ten or twenty meters.

Countless knots were made along the way.

The reason why I got the rope was because I was worried that I would dig it crooked when I was digging. .

It would be embarrassing if the water got to the place and couldn't get through.

And the position on this side of the cornfield is one meter lower than the level there.

It is also convenient for water to flow.

Feng Yue stood by and watched this scene with a curious expression: "Xiao Chuan, who did you learn this from?"

"What's the matter? Pull it straight, won't it deviate? It's like the hanging wire used to build a house, which can ensure that the house is built straight."

Feng Yue heard the words lightly.

While speaking, there was a tension on the rope that was fixed on the ground.

It's over there.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the group of people waiting beside him.

He followed the rope and walked towards the spring.

Because the rope is too long, the middle must have collapsed downward.

So as he walked, he adjusted the rope and held it in place with a tree stick.

He went all the way to the spring, and then he stopped.

The point here is exactly seven meters below the well water. That is the location of the water outlet.

Zhao Dafan and Sanxi looked at Zhou Xiaochuan and hurriedly asked, "What's the next step?"

Hearing what the two of them said, Zhou Xiaochuan pointed to the rope, "Along the rope, dig a groove that is 60 centimeters deep and about 60 wide. Don't dig through this water first."

Point your finger in the direction from which you are speaking.

Zhao Dafan nodded when he heard the words. "Okay, what about the rest?"

"No, let's dig this out first. That's enough for us to dig for a week."

distance of one kilometer.

This time there were seventy or eighty people. According to one person a day to dig about four meters.

That also takes a week.

Fortunately, it's not a stone mountain here, but there are some broken stones mixed in the soil, otherwise it will be messed up.

Zhao Dafan nodded when he heard the words.

The villagers who pulled the rope went back to the cornfield.

Seeing everyone coming back, the scene suddenly became fierce.

"Dafan, have you asked the little comrade how to dig?"

"Yeah, we're all waiting."

"Comrade Xiaochuan, we will do whatever you say."

...

There is wind on the mountain, and the people blowing are cold.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan gestured to everyone, and everyone stopped talking.

Then he explained it to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Baolin, the carpenter, smiled and said, "Hey, that's it? It's very simple. Let's move."

After he finished speaking, he took his precious son, Erniu.

Come to the first point together.

"tui..."

He spat out a mouthful of saliva, waved his shovel and started digging.

The others all laughed when they saw it.

They all started to look for their place in the back in order, and threw off their arms and started to dry.

The women are worse, but the gentlemen are quite skilled.

They even allocated distances to each other.

Some teamed up with each other, three or four people digging, and one person was picked to pick the soil.

Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised when he saw this.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan's expression, Zhao Dafan smiled: "Every year we have to go to the county to repair the canal in the slack farming~lightnovelpub.net~ Sometimes it is repairing, sometimes it is digging. I am used to it."

Zhou Xiaochuan heard the words lightly.

Standing next to Qian Hongbing, looking at Zhou Xiaochuan, they smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's go together. We'll be waiting for you."

Then he handed him a shovel.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and took the shovel, walked along the rope and walked into the distance.

Zhao Dafan went to work when he saw it, looked at Sanxi next to him, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go together."

After he finished speaking, he smiled and followed.
