Chapter 118: Unknown incidents and superstitions
"Girl Yiwan, you are coming back from the mountain."
"Yes, Grandma Wu, what are you busy with?"
"I was going to give you some Kuzhu Tofu (acorn tofu). I just made it this afternoon and it's still hot."
"Grandma Wu, please don't leave. Just keep it for yourself to eat. Our family also picked up bitter pearls."
"What you pick up is yours, what I give you is my heartfelt gift, it has nothing to do with it.
It's not something valuable, so don't push it around, it's embarrassing.
Take it, I have to go and deliver some food to Xie Xiucai, so don’t waste your time."
Lin Yiwan couldn't resist, so she had to accept the tofu offered by Grandma Liu.
She didn't go far with the tofu when she was stopped by Aunt Sun again.
"Yiwan, my fat boy and his younger brothers and sisters have picked up a lot of mushrooms these days, and I was just going to go to your house to give you some.
If I meet you by chance, just take it back by yourself."
"Aunt Sun, just keep it for yourself. My family also picked up a lot of mushrooms this autumn, which is enough to eat."
"Your grandparents and your family are all here, as well as Dr. Dou, Dr. Wei and others. There is enough to eat anywhere.
Just take it if I ask you to, why are you being polite to Auntie?"
After some pushing, she got another bag of dried mushrooms in her hand.
Just as he was walking home from the foot of Jianshan Mountain, four people stuffed things into Lin Yiwan's hands.
Judging from Lin Yiwan's skillful refusal and helpless acceptance, this is not the first time this has happened.
Since the village was sealed off, although every family has been short on food, Lin Yiwan has received food from every family in the village almost every day.
Although she refused every time, the possibility of successfully rejecting the offer was not high.
After returning home, she handed the things to Sun.
Mrs. Sun looked at the Kuzhu Tofu in the basket and was speechless.
"Grandma Wu, I heard that the food supply at home is about to run out, why are you so worried about others?"
Although the words were complained, Mrs. Sun was inevitably a little happy in her heart.
Everyone remembers what her daughter has done for the village, so no matter what kind of food the family gets, they rush to send a portion to their daughter.
Lin Yiwan heard that Grandma Wu's family was about to run out of food, but she was not as worried as she had been when she heard such news before.
Brother Qingfeng said that he will plant potatoes as soon as possible and strive to harvest the first batch of potatoes before the year.
As long as something can be produced, there is always hope.
Lin Yiwan chatted with Mrs. Sun for a few words, nothing more than encouraging words such as the car will find its way to the mountain, so that her mother does not have to worry about things that have not happened yet, there will always be a way, and things will definitely develop for the better.
What Lin Yiwan said was not a lie.
Tonight, the thin river that was almost dry suddenly had a new source of water.
Lin Yiwan transported the large swimming pool in the space to the river bed. Once the drainage outlets were opened, the water rushed towards the small river.
About half an hour later, the water in the swimming pool was emptied, and she went back to the space to refill the water.
After half an hour of storing water and half an hour of releasing water, Lin Yiwan kept pumping water in a cycle like this, transporting water four times in one night.
The small river that has bottomed out has naturally not been filled, but as can be seen with the naked eye, the water level has risen a lot.
Looking at the sky that was about to break at dawn, Lin Yiwan threw the swimming pool into space and dragged her heavy steps home to catch up on her sleep.
Lin Yiwan got up extremely late today and even delayed Dr. Dou's breakfast.
Dr. Dou was so anxious that he thought there was something wrong with Lin Yiwan's body.
The result was a pulse and nothing happened.
Lin Yiwan just said she was sleepy and didn't sleep well last night.
Doctor Dou couldn't find any other reason, so he believed this for the time being.
But I never expected that the next few days would be like this.
Lin Yiwan sleeps until three o'clock in the morning every day, and she still doesn't seem to wake up much.
There are already traces of light cyan at the moment.
Dr. Dou was very troubled by this, and he could not wait to go back to Yaolu and read the classics to find out the reason.
Judging from her pulse, this girl looks like she can go up to the mountains and hunt tigers at any time, but why does she always look so depressed?
At this time, the villagers of Wufu Village were just as puzzled as Doctor Dou.
They couldn't figure out where the water in this thin river came from.
There was obviously no water available before, but suddenly I woke up one night and found several inches of water in the thin river.
Moreover, the water seems to be inexhaustible. It bottoms out every evening, and when you wake up the next morning, there will still be as much water as yesterday.
If it was water that seeped out of the ground, the public wells in the village and the shallow wells in private homes were as usual, and there was no extra water.
This is really strange.
Generally speaking, when encountering something that they cannot understand, everyone likes to become superstitious.
This time is naturally no exception.
Several old people in the village took the lead in worshiping various Bodhisattvas.
"It must be the blessing of Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva is kind-hearted and loves kindness, so he specially gave us life-saving water so that we would not die of thirst."
Then some people came to worship their ancestors.
"Fortunately, I am blessed by my ancestors. Mr. Feng Shui said at the beginning that my ancestral tomb was well chosen. It happens to be a rainy place. If we are buried here, our descendants will not be trapped by drought."
There are also people worshiping at the Earth Temple.
"It must be the Lord of the Land who appears.
The old man was very satisfied with the offerings we gave him during the New Year and festivals, so he was reluctant to leave us and tried to find a way to bring us life-saving water."
Suddenly, there were all kinds of worshippers in the village.
Fortunately, everyone believes in you and I respect you. Although there are occasional quarrels, we generally respect each other and no major conflicts have broken out due to this matter.
Maybe it’s because of the infinite power of faith, but everyone’s mental outlook has been completely different recently.
They believe that with the blessings of Bodhisattva/ancestors/landlords and other non-human groups, they will be able to survive this famine safely, so there are even fewer people who feel sorry for themselves.
On this day, Lin Yiwan came to Xie's house to deliver food.
Doctor Wei was not here, so he took several villagers to look for medicinal herbs.
Seeing that no one else was present, Xie Qingfeng joked without any scruple: "Hey, our water-bringing female Bodhisattva is here."
Lin Yiwan's face turned red and she said shyly: "Brother Qingfeng, just let others make fun of you, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not lying. How dare you say that the water was not sent by you?"
Lin Yiwan simply didn't want to talk to the person in front of her.
She finally discovered it, but she didn't know when. Brother Qingfeng no longer acted like a gentleman in front of her. From time to time, he always liked to play tricks or make excuses.
In order to prevent this person from getting more and more involved, she quickly changed the topic.
"Brother Qingfeng, how are your plans for growing potatoes going?"
When it came to business, Xie Qingfeng stopped laughing and said seriously: "I have chosen a place and discussed it with several team leaders. We will start tomorrow.
I told them that this is something you can find in Qunfeng Mountain. After eating it, I thought it tasted good. Because the yield was good, I decided to try growing it.
The planting method is something I figured out myself.
