Chapter 395
On the top of the valley, there is also a forest surrounding it. The source of the stream is a more spacious river.
The river water is not long, and Dongfangming can see the source of the river water when standing on the top of the valley. About fifty meters away, the river water flows out of a cave. The entrance of the cave is small, Dongfangming walks to it and bends down to see it before he can barely see the wall of the cave.
But this was useless. Even if you bent down, Dongfang Ming couldn't see clearly what was in the cave. The cave was bag-shaped, as if there was a universe inside. However, the entrance of the cave was small and narrow, and Dongfang Ming's eyes were all black and broken.
Dongfang Ming reached into the river and felt the speed of the water flow. The river above was much deeper and darker than the stream below. Dongfang Ming couldn't even see the bottom of the river at a glance.
The river water can't see how fast the water flow is. The surface flows quietly, and even the sound of water is not obvious. Only when Dongfang Ming puts his hand into the water can he feel the undercurrent surging under the calm water surface. A strong sense of water flow passes through Dongfang Ming's fingers.
To roughly estimate, the source of the river should come from the underground river at the bottom of the mountain. If there is a underground river underground, the river will not be easily affected by rain or drought. With the source of the river as the river, there is no need to worry too much about the amount of water.
After collecting the information he wanted, Dongfang Ming took back his hand and returned to Ren Woxing and Xin Literature.
Dongfang Ming said: "Let's go."
They walked slowly along the flow of the stream. When they walked to the place that was about to go down the mountain, they saw that the stream turned one by one and went in the opposite direction.
If you want to dig a canal and divert the stream down the mountain, it is best to choose near the downhill entrance as the starting point of the canal.
It saves time and effort, and does not affect the water flow of the stream itself too much.
If the water from the stream is drained for the sake of humanity's own selfishness and affects the ecological environment with the stream as the core, it is that the loss is not worth the loss due to the small loss.
Dongfang Ming returned to the village, and the village chief and Gensheng were waiting for good news for Dongfang Ming.
As soon as they saw Dongfang Ming coming in, the two of them immediately stood up and looked at Dongfang Ming with a gaze.
Dongfang Ming said funnyly: "I have already looked at the location of the stream and have also set the route of the canal."
"That Feng Shui..." The village chief wanted to speak but stopped. He was worried that changing the water situation would change the Feng Shui, and he also felt that Dongfang Ming had worked so hard to check the terrain himself, so he was embarrassed to speak to Dongfang Ming.
The most important principle of changing mountains and rivers is to not cause trouble for people and animals. If the river water is diverted, the ecosystems that rely on stream water as the core will collapse and animals and plants die, and the Feng Shui of a place will appear dead, which is a taboo of Feng Shui!
Dongfang Ming promised: "Don't worry, village chief, I have chosen the best digging route, and it can also ensure that the impact on the flow of the stream itself is minimized!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief nodded with confidence and asked about digging the canal: "Then how do we dig the canal?"
"Digging canals is a big project, and I can't do it alone. So the villagers need to mobilize them to dig the canals together."
"No problem, no problem, this is what we should do!" The village chief nodded repeatedly.
Not to mention solving famine and drought is Xiaopo Village’s own business. Dongfang Ming has already made love and righteous helping them.
What's more, Dongfang Ming paid out of his own pocket to Xiaopo Village in the past two days. Not only did he temporarily solve the problem of famine, but he is still working hard to solve the problem of spring drought in Xiaopo Village for a long time. Just this, all villagers in Xiaopo Village will follow Dongfang Ming's words.
In the afternoon, Dongfang Ming and the village chief discussed the detailed matters of digging the canal. Finally, all links were arranged properly and nothing was left out.
When it was almost dark, Dongfang Ming left the village chief's house and returned to Gensheng's house.
After eating the meal prepared by Gensheng's wife, the three of them slept at Gensheng's house as usual. Gensheng and his wife went to the neighbor's house next door for one night.
The houses in the countryside are almost all built with mud walls, with no gaps enough to block the wind, but the sound insulation is not high. Tonight, Gensheng is obviously much more excited. Dongfang Ming can still hear Gensheng and his wife discussing something next door through the two walls.
It was not until very late that the sound of a low conversation slowly stopped.
The benefits of diverting into the fields to Xiaopo Village are obvious. He is naturally very happy to see Xiaopo Village moving towards a bright future.
The next day, Dongfang Ming got up early in the morning and opened the door. Unexpectedly, there were densely packed villagers from Xiaopo Village.
Regardless of men, women, young and old, as long as the worker is working, the shovel or hoe is held in his hands. Even those elderly and young children who cannot hold farm tools can also hold dustpans for soil.
Dongfang Ming opened the door and saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him excitedly.
It seems that one night, the news of digging canals to divert and irrigating farmland had already been spread to every household in Xiaopo Village.
Even if they don’t understand the specific details, they can understand that Dongfang Ming is doing something great for them. If it is done, the benefits that Xiaopo Village can get will be endless.
Dongfang Ming looked at the villagers of Xiaopo Village, full of hope and joy, and smiled. Compared to the villagers who had just arrived in Xiaopo Village, who had yellow muscles and a dead look on their faces, he would rather see their faces full of expectations for future life.
Dongfang Ming is getting up early today, and Xinli and Ren Woxing have not woken up yet. He turned around and closed the door, and took these happy people to the mountain.
There are really not many people in Xiaopo Village, but there are more than 30 people in all sizes when mobilizing.
Among them, there are about ten young and middle-aged people, who are the main force in digging this canal, and are mainly responsible for digging soil and digging roads in places that have been decided in the Dongfang Ming.
Dongfangming used white lime powder to divide two lines into the local area, and the middle is the soil that the villagers in Xiaopo Village need to dig.
The other wives of all sizes helped to open the gullies deeper and more neatly, and then went back to cook before climbing up to the sun to bring them to everyone for food. The remaining elderly and children took dustpans and other dustpans to pack the soil, transported the soil, and poured the soil.
Although there were not many people, they worked together and everyone was determined to work together, talking and laughing. After a long period of time, they dug a long ditch.
In order to save time and effort, Dongfang Ming chose a relatively short and convenient route. When he did the work, he waved his hoe and found that it was not very difficult to dig the ditch.
From this perspective, the villagers in Xiaopo Village are more energetic.
Dongfang Ming made suggestions, but he was really not good at asking him to do such physical work. He could only find a stone to sit down with the village chief, and talk and laugh with the villagers to work with them.
Although my strength is still top in this era, I am interested in professional farm work.
Dongfang Ming is still a little reluctant to accept the disadvantage.
