Chapter 69 The poor little man killed by his uncle 25
The villagers talked a lot and put forward many suggestions.
The old village chief nodded one by one and responded, "I discussed with the team leader and we plan to plant 40% sweet potatoes, 20% potatoes, 20% soybeans, 10% corn, and 10% sorghum."< br>
Corn is not drought-resistant, so forget it.
As for planting corn and sorghum, I also thought that eating too much sweet potatoes would cause heartburn. I couldn’t just eat sweet potatoes, but also had to eat them with some grains.
I just hope that the food I sow will yield some harvest.
The old village chief said, "In the past two years, our village has dug six wells and two reservoirs. If a severe drought comes, we can still save 20% of the corn and sorghum, but If you plant too much, you will die of drought.”
The villagers then understood that in the past two years, whenever they had free time, the old village chief would take them everywhere to dig wells and reservoirs. Drought prevention.
The villagers praised the old village chief for taking precautions.
The time soon came to July. The old village chief stood at the edge of the field, looking at the wilted crops, his brows furrowed like thick sea cucumbers, "In the past six months, it rained twice, and the rain water soaked the land. It stopped. If the drought continues like this, all the food will die.”
Next to him, Liu Tielin also had a frown on his face, "Fortunately, in our village, we followed your advice and planted sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes on most of the land. We are not afraid of drought. The little corn and sorghum we have can be maintained with water from the reservoir." , but other villages Here, I heard that the corn seedlings in the field next door have died of drought."
"Oh... God, I want to harvest people."
The old village chief said this. In a word, he remained silent and full of thoughts.
There was a drought and the ground was cracked, and most of the crops grown in Xiaxi Village were sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes. There was little work in the fields, and it was enough for the men to do it. The village chief’s wife organized the women and children in the village to dig wild vegetables in the mountains. , pick mushrooms, pick wild fruits, whatever is edible, take them home to dry and store them.
Once the food harvest is short, these things can also starve you.
Yuanchun, carrying a small basket on his back, quickly broke away from the group of villagers and quietly walked into the mountains.
There wasn’t much food outside the mountains. She didn’t want to compete with the women in the village. She wanted to go deep into the mountains to catch big food.
"Host, there is a wild deer drinking water in front of you."
007 reminded her. Yuanchun smiled and said, "After walking all morning, I finally found the water source."
This is the first year of the drought. The reservoir in the Xixi Brigade is about to dry up, and the water in the wells is also dropping every day. When next year, the weather will be even drier, the entire Xixi Brigade will be seriously short of water. She wants to give the village Find a water source.
It can’t water the ground, but it can provide the villagers with daily drinking.
Let the people in the village not die of thirst.
“Host, there is an underground river under this mountain. This creek is connected to the underground river below. However, the water level of the underground river is also declining, and this creek will dry up sooner or later.”
“007, help me see if I can dig out the water from the underground river?”
007: "Host, I can find a place closest to the underground river and dig a well. However, the underground river is too deep and water cannot be dug out manually. You must rely on machines."
007: "The mall sells well diggers and water pumps. They give away unlimited length pipes for free. Host, do you want to buy one?"
"No."
How can she use a water pump? Tell the old village chief?
This kind of technology is not from this world. She must not expose it, otherwise, she is afraid of being caught and sliced into slices.
Although she didn't think anyone could catch her, she was afraid of trouble.
She doesn’t want to be stared at.
Forget it, no matter what, she will suck up the water from the underground river tonight and put it into the reservoir and well.
