Captain Zhang saw Zhou Xiaochuan coming, and hurried forward to meet him for a while.

"Comrade Xiaochuan, you are finally here!"

When he spoke, he stretched out his hands.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan jumped out of the donkey cart and hurriedly stretched out his hands.

"Captain Zhang, you are too polite. We are promoting production. For the masses!"

Flower sedan chairs carry people.

To give you face, you have to give other people face!

Captain Zhang smiled and nodded: "Hey, hey, it's all the same, it's all the same."

After speaking, he began to introduce the two people around him.

One is Li Futian, the accountant of the Xizhuang production team, and the other is Zhang Dagang, the captain of the militia.

Both of them were about forty years old, and they were all dressed in sheepskin jackets and white turbans.

Zhou Xiaochuan greeted him with a smile, and then subconsciously looked at Zhang Dagang next to him.

The other party has a Chinese character face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan's expression, thinking that he knew the previous Wang Xiuwen, Captain Zhang sighed and said, "The previous Captain Wang passed away, this is the new militia captain."

"Oh, I'm still wondering, I saw him last time!"

Hearing his words, Captain Zhang waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's not eat! Let's go to the production team to get something to eat."

Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head, "I came here after breakfast, take me to the neighborhood to have a look!"

Captain Zhang thought for a while and nodded.

Then the four of them walked up the mountain.

Go to the village first.

Similar to the layout of the Shanglin production team, they all rely on cave dwellings dug on the hillside.

Looking at the number of caves, the number of people is estimated to be more than the Shanglin production team.

Passing by the door of Wang Xiuwen's house, Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at it, because after the first seven, there was no trace of the funeral from the outside.

There was a woman in her forties in the yard, weaving straw sandals.

When passing by the door, Captain Zhang greeted the inside, "Little Ju, where are the straw sandals?"

Hearing this, the other party raised his head and smiled, "Oh, it's Captain Zhang! It's going to be hot soon! Make up a few pairs of shoes for the dolls to wear. What are you doing?"

Captain Zhang nodded when he heard the words, "We have something to do, you are busy! Let's go."

"Hey, good!"

Then a few people left from the gate of the courtyard.

Zhou Xiaochuan paid attention, and when the other party looked at his face, he didn't see much sadness.

But where did he have the nerve to ask.

Captain Zhang saw Zhou Xiaochuan's gaze and explained, "This is Wang Xiuwen's home. Now there are only three mothers left."

"Oh!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, but at this moment he was still a little guilty.

Not to Wang Xiuwen.

But to the mother three.

Zhang Dagang next to him saw Zhou Xiaochuan's expression.

I thought he was sympathetic and regretful.

He smiled and said: "Comrade Xiaochuan, you don't know! In fact, the most relief of Wang Xiuwen's death is his wife."

Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled when he heard the words, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, the land here used to belong to Xiaoju's father. When the land was divided, she occupied her forcibly. She drank and beat her when she had nothing to do. Her husband was lost by him."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Just the two women Zhiqing and him who were missing from the production team..."

"cough……"

Zhang Dagang's words were interrupted by the coughing sound of Captain Zhang next to him.

Zhang Dagang smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, and didn't speak any more.

Zhou Xiaochuan understood when he heard the words.

Just like the red boy in Journey to the West back then, he was lawless. (Can you understand?)

This kind of thing is very common in rural areas.

Euphemistically, it can be better transformed.

That being the case, he didn't think about it too much. If Wang Xiuwen didn't die, more people would be hurt.

Several people strolled around the village.

He found the only well in the village, which contained only a small amount of muddy water.

The kind that can barely get out of the bucket.

But he looked at it, and it seemed that only this place had the highest water level in the village, and there was nothing good in other places.

Presumably back then, either a lot of wells were dug and tried.

Or someone has pointed it out.

After wandering around the village for a long time, he decided to look north.

"Captain Zhang, I've seen it in the village, let's go over there!"

When speaking, he pointed to the north and said.

Because according to the direction of the dark river of the Shanglin production team, it should be possible to encounter it in the north.

Captain Zhang hesitated and asked, "What about this? Is it possible to drill a good well?"

Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head.

Seeing his actions, Captain Zhang sighed and said helplessly: "Well, let's go over there and see!"

Then the four of them were ready to go north.

Seeing that Captain Zhang was about to go down the mountain, he walked from the main road.

Zhou Xiaochuan thought about it for a while, and suggested to look over there from the hillside.

Although a little puzzled, Captain Zhang still agreed, "Comrade Xiaochuan, it's not easy to walk from here!"

"It's okay, it's okay anyway."

What he means is the place between the two hills, see if there is water, it should be there!

It's less than a kilometer from here.

Just a ten minute walk.

Captain Zhang heard the words and nodded, but could only follow behind.

While walking on the road, Zhou Xiaochuan kept watching and observing that there were some points nearby where wells could indeed be dug, but they were a little better than the one just now.

better than nothing.

The road is not easy to walk, and after walking for more than 20 minutes, I came to the intersection between two small hills.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled.

It seems that my guess is really correct!

The old saying is good: two hills sandwich a hole, and the middle can't be pumped. There is a ditch between the two ridges, and the water flows along the ditch.

There is really water.

It's just that the water here is not a dark river, just permeable groundwater.

But drilling a good well is no problem.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the terrain and smiled at Captain Zhang: "Captain Zhang, you can dig a well here. Then build a road to come here."

Captain Zhang hesitated for a while when he heard Zhou Xiaochuan's words.

"I've been here before, and there are rocks underneath, but I didn't hit it!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, and he naturally saw two half-drilled wells beside him.

Only the inside was refilled with soil, leaving only a half-human-high hole.

But since he said it, he was sure of it.

Don't see what's going on under the hood, just guess blindly.

But can he be the same?

He thought about taking a few steps below, looking left and right, and spent a long time drawing.

Then he pointed to one of them and said, "It's here!"

After he finished speaking, he used his feet to think about the bottom and measured a distance with his feet.

Then, amid the doubts of Captain Zhang and the others, he took out a piece of paper and a pen from his backpack, and wrote and drew there.

The drawing is of course a triangle.

You can't rely entirely on superstition, you have to rely on science.

After a while, he handed the drawn triangle blueprint to Captain Zhang.

Captain Zhang took the paper and looked at it, anyway.

Finally, he handed the paper to the accountants Li Futian and Zhang Dagang next to him.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan explained to several people: "The distance from here to the **** is about 14 meters, and the **** is 30 degrees. There may be a huge difference, but it will not be too big. That is to say, you only need to dig seven meters there. You can see water between eight meters."

Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, Captain Zhang and the three, you look at me, and I look at you.

Captain Zhang asked the accountant Li Futian, "You know a lot of words, do you understand?"

Li Futian shook his head embarrassedly when he heard the words, "I know words, but I only went to elementary school! How could I understand it!"

Hearing Li Futian's words, Captain Zhang complained, "You're learning for nothing."

Li Futian next to him rolled his eyes.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at a few people with a smile on the side.

It's just that a few people can't understand it, and I feel that this thing is a tall one, but it's actually just a triangle to find the side length.

But don't be said to be looking for dragons and acupoints.

Captain Zhang returned the paper in his hand to Zhou Xiaochuan, and said with a smile: "We don't understand what you said, just tell us where to dig to get the water out, and it doesn't matter how deep you dig."

The other two nodded in approval.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, folded a branch from the side, and inserted it at the center point.

"From here, dig down about two feet and two feet, and at most no more than two feet and five feet."

Captain Zhang hesitated for a while after hearing the words, then nodded, "Okay, I see, let's put this one for now. Let's go and see the others."

See his expression.

Zhou Xiaochuan understood, probably because the abandoned well had been dug here, so few people believed it very much.

Without saying anything, the few people continued to walk towards the north.

After half an hour, several people came to the farmland of the Xizhuang production team.

It is also very lively here.

Like the Shanglin production team, they are busy turning the ground and preparing for the spring planting.

It's just that there are fewer animals here.

So people use the most primitive methods, shovels and row shovels are there to turn the land.

I saw the man standing on the shovel, stepping down hard, and standing on it to chop.

When the nails on the row of shovels were raked down to a certain position, people held the wooden handle and fell backwards.

The shovel is to shovel a large piece of earth.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at it, and it was estimated that this thing was the fastest tool for digging soil other than livestock. It's just that this thing needs a certain amount of strength to move.

"Da, what are you doing?"

In the crowd, a young man shouted at Captain Zhang.

"Do your job! Do all that!"

"Hey, didn't I just ask!"

Then continue to work for convenience.

In the crowd, there were several young people who looked weak, all looking at Zhou Xiaochuan curiously.

Captain Zhang is the leader of the production team.

The other two are also important figures in the team.

It must be a big deal to be able to accompany these three people.

These people, like Zhou Xiaochuan, are all Zhiqings from other places.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked around and shook his head at Captain Zhang. "There is nothing suitable here."

Then a few people walked towards the north again.

After walking for nearly an hour, just when Captain Zhang and several others were impatient.

Zhou Xiaochuan stopped.

After looking back and forth many times around, he finally fell into deep thought.

Captain Zhang looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's expression with an anxious look on his face, "Comrade Xiaochuan, what do you say? Did you find it?"

Zhou Xiaochuan frowned and nodded, then shook his head again.

Seeing his expression, Captain Zhang hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, what do you mean!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know how to explain it.

The underground river has been found. According to the location, it is estimated that it is the one of the Shanglin production team. Here is more upstream.

It's just that this location is too deep~lightnovelpub.net~ close to twenty meters.

It is completely meaningless to find it, and the water can't lead it at all.

He looked at the way he came, and then looked at the flow of the dark river, the two were at an angle of thirty or forty degrees.

Did not return to Captain Zhang.

He was heading towards the dark river.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said to Captain Zhang, "Captain Zhang, let's go over there and see."

When speaking, he pointed to the hill opposite the production team of Xizhuang.

According to the angle, it is also the place where the dark river passes, and it is relatively close to the farmland.

Captain Zhang heard the words and nodded helplessly.
