Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space
Chapter 561 Checking the Water Source
Gu Yunxi was also a little confused, but she remained calm.
"Zhang Zhuangtou, organize the farmers and let's go up the mountain to take a look."
The source of Green Creek is in the mountains, and now that the water level of the creek has dropped so much, I don’t know if there is something wrong with the source.
Although Zhang Zhuangtou took people up the mountain to check it out yesterday, Gu Yunxi felt that it would be better to see it with his own eyes.
The water level is low, so there is most likely something wrong with the source.
Zhang Zhuangtou always obeyed the words of his master Gu Yunxi. When he heard Gu Yunxi's order, he immediately went to find a few strong farmers and prepared to go up the mountain together.
Everyone brought enough tools and walked along the Green Creek.
As we kept going upstream, the terrain became higher and higher, and it became quite difficult to walk.
Zhang Zhuangtou and the farmers have been working all year round and were now exhausted and out of breath. However, Gu Yunxi, who seldom worked, was not even out of breath at all.
Gu Yunxi looked at them, their legs trembling with exhaustion, then looked at the water bag in his hand, not knowing what to say.
The water bag was filled with spiritual spring water from the space. She drank it many times along the way, but there was still a lot of water left in the water bag.
In fact, every time she drank water, she would quietly pour the spiritual spring water into the water bag, but there was only one water bag and she couldn't take it out to share with everyone.
"Captain Zhang, everyone is tired. Let's take a rest before we continue." Gu Yunxi ordered.
When Zhang Zhuangtou heard this, he shouted, "Everyone, rest here for a while, and then continue to move up later."
After saying that, Zhang Zhuangtou accidentally glanced at Gu Yunxi and saw that there was no sweat on Gu Yunxi's face, but his cheeks were slightly red. It seemed that walking such a long distance was not tiring at all. He was slightly surprised.
After everyone had rested for a while, Zhang Zhuangtou shouted and continued on their way.
After an hour, we finally arrived at the source of the Green Creek halfway up the mountain.
Gu Yunxi stood on an open flat ground, looking at the source of the green stream, with surprise in his eyes.
It turns out that the source of the Green Creek is a deep pool. The water is black and green, and it is bottomless.
From the edge of the pond, you can see that the water level was almost at the flat ground and water marks were still faintly visible, but now, the water level has dropped a lot. A rough estimate is that it has dropped by more than seven feet!
"Young Madam, look, the pond was always full before, but now it has dropped so much." Zhang Zhuangtou said, pointing at the water.
"The source of this pool of water is mainly springs and accumulated rainwater. It hasn't rained since the end of last year. What can we do?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi asked, "Apart from this water source, are there any other water sources on our farm?"
Village head Zhang shook his head: "It's gone, not only our village, but also other villages nearby. They all rely on the water from Green Creek."
"What about the wells on our farm? How many wells are there now?" Gu Yunxi asked again.
"Well? The one we use to carry water for drinking is in the main courtyard. There is another one under the big banyan tree. Everyone goes there to wash clothes. There are two wells in total." Zhang Zhuangtou replied.
"Young Madam, what do you mean?"
Gu Yunxi nodded: "Let's go down the mountain first and go back to check on the two wells."
The water in the Green Creek is running low, and I wonder if the water in the well will also run low? Gu Yunxi was a little worried. Logically, the water in the well would also run low.
Then...it's not just a problem of watering the winter wheat on the farm, but also a problem of drinking water for the farmers.
Gu Yunxi frowned and followed the crowd, slowly walking down the mountain and towards the farm.
When I returned to the village, I first looked at the well in the main courtyard.
The well in the main courtyard has a well wheel installed on the outside, so the situation at the bottom of the well cannot be seen clearly.
Zhang Zhuangtou let down the hemp rope and, based on his previous experience of drawing water, he drew up a full bucket of water.
The farmers were already extremely hungry and thirsty, so they just splashed some water on their hands to wash their hands, and then scooped up the well water from the wooden bucket with both hands to drink.
"Young Madam, it seems that the water level in the well has not changed!" said Zhang Zhuangtou.
When fetching water normally, the hemp rope is lowered in the same way, and the rope is lowered the same length of time, without any change at all.
Gu Yunxi nodded and walked towards another well under the banyan tree.
Zhang Zhuangtou also drew a bucket of water. The water level in this well was the same as the one in the yard, and there was no change.
"That's strange, why did the water level of Green Creek drop so much?"
Zhang Zhuangtou really couldn't understand and looked at Gu Yunxi blankly.
Gu Yunxi was silent, staring at the well water, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Gu Yunxi slowly said, "Zhang Zhuangtou, first follow the normal procedures and water the plants when necessary."
In the current situation, I don’t know what will happen, but we have to prepare for some things.
"Zhang Zhuangtou, besides watering the crops these days, why don't you take your people up the mountain and look for other water sources nearby?"
"Also, find someone to dig two more wells on the farm. We'll decide where to choose after the well digger arrives."
Zhang Zhuangtou nodded hurriedly. He had already had this idea. He wanted to dig two more wells. In case the water in Green Creek was really gone, they could also be used to irrigate winter wheat.
After everything was arranged, Gu Yunxi frowned and got on the carriage.
Along the way, Mo San drove the carriage very fast, and it was already afternoon when he returned to the mansion.
Having missed lunch, Gu Yunxi felt dizzy with hunger, so Xiao Cui hurriedly asked the kitchen to bring hot meals.
"Yunxi, what's wrong? Why do you come back so late?" He Feng hurried over.
Gu Yunxi had just finished eating and saw He Fenglai. She asked, "Mom, is Dad home?"
I must tell Father Lu about the water source. It's not just the farm in the capital, but also the medicinal and melon fields in Xijiang Village, and the villagers' fields. If there is a severe drought...
Gu Yunxi didn’t dare to think any further.
Qiaozhen's father-in-law had predicted before that there might be a severe drought this year, and the space elf had also said, what if, what if there really is a severe drought, then how would the people of Dawn grow their crops?
If the crops have no water, the harvest will be gone, and the people all depend on the crops in the fields to make a living!
He Feng nodded: "Yes, your father has gone to see his grandson now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi took He Feng's hand and went to the children's room.
When we arrived at the wing, we indeed saw Grandpa Lu teasing his grandsons. The three fat boys could now sit up by themselves, holding toys in their hands, and burst into laughter at Grandpa Lu's teasing.
When he saw Gu Yunxi and He Feng coming in, Kai Ge clapped his hands and seemed even happier.
"Oh, grandma's eldest grandson!" He Feng smiled and picked up Kai Ge, looking very fond of him.
Gu Yunxi looked at the closeness between the grandfather and grandson, smiled and said, "Dad, I just went to the farm to take a look, and the water level of the stream over there has dropped a lot!"
