697. Chapter 697 697, Looking for Water 4
Indeed, as Lu Ziyuan said, in this severe drought season, this mountain that no one has ever visited actually has such a wonderful water source. This is God's gift to the whole village, and they should protect it.
There is not a single plant or tree in it.
"Everyone should go down the mountain quickly after getting water. It's getting late. If we don't go back after a long time up here, the villagers will be worried." Although she didn't find the mint she wanted this time, it was not a bad idea to find this water source.
This trip, this mountain climbing, is worth it. At least, this village will have a water source that can make people feel at ease. I hope the drought will pass soon, and I also hope that some small animals will not be discovered here and pollute the water source here.
When Lu Ziyuan and others returned to the village at the foot of the mountain, the sun was already beginning to set. Seeing everyone returning with clear water, all the villagers were very excited.
"Master Lian, Mrs. Lian, the county magistrate came to our village today and wanted to see you, but he was waiting at the entrance of the village and sent people to come in to look for you. After knowing that you went up the mountain and didn't come down so quickly, he left, saying that he would arrive early tomorrow morning.
Come here, I hope you can go to the village entrance to meet the county magistrate."
The two followed the village chief back to his home. The village chief's wife told them about this and narrowed her eyes while looking at the water her husband brought back.
The severe drought destroyed the villagers' business and took away their hard work for a year, but it could not take away their simple happiness. Without food, everyone could still be full by eating wild vegetables. A little clean water was enough to become their most worthwhile joy now.
things.
Lu Ziwan couldn't help but laugh when she saw the smiles of the village chief and his wife. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had felt this simple happiness, which only came from a very ordinary thing.
Laughter from the heart is the most contagious. Although everyone brought back not much water, laughter could be heard everywhere in the village on this day. When meeting people, they would ask, "How good is your water?"
drink?"
In the evening, Lu Ziwan repeated his old trick, separated the village chief and his wife, and replaced the water in their water tanks with spring water from Bailing Spring. Knowing that the clean water was hard to come by, Lu Ziwan collected a lot of it in water bags.
, then poured out the rest and poured the Bailing Spring water into the pot to cook the mint leaves.
Tonight, Lu Ziwan asked the villagers who drank the decoction last night to deliver the spiritual spring water to those who have been confirmed to be infected with the plague. People who drank the spring water should not be infected by the plague, so it is safer to let them deliver it.
of.
Early the next morning, officers and soldiers from the county government entered the village again to find Lu Ziyuan and Lian Guanlang. Although the county magistrate cared about the people, he still did not dare to come in personally because this was a plague village.
"Master Lian, Mrs. Lian, you are really amazing. When I came in today, some villagers saw that I was tired from the journey and gave me a bowl of water. The water in that bowl was as clean as well water. I heard them say that it was you who led the villagers.
The water source we found on the mountain." The officers and soldiers looked admiringly and then sighed, "All the villagers here are kind. When the county magistrate asked us to burn down this village, we were very reluctant to leave it. Fortunately, the villagers
After meeting you, you two are really the saviors of the villagers!"
"It's all the credit of my wife. My wife is a doctor, and my job is to take care of her." Lian Guanlang was not stunned by the praise at all, and he continued with a smile and gave all the credit to Lu Ziwan.
"Master Lian, who says you have no merit? Taking care of your wife is everyone's savior. This is also a great contribution." The officers and soldiers have never encountered a man who would tell the truth like this, making people think that his wife is better than him.
Lu Ziyuan pursed her lips and chuckled. Lian Guanlang didn't seem to be affected by the words and deeds of outsiders. When he was in Hexi Village, no matter how everyone said he was eating soft food, he didn't mean to be angry at all and was still busy every day.
, take care of her and pamper her every day.
Some people may think that men with a bit of machismo are more attractive, but Lu Ziwan doesn't think so.
