Chapter 493: Mountain God Grants Water

After returning home, Xu had already taken her youngest son Shui Lifang back home.

Gu Xi gave the snacks he bought in the county town to Shui Cube. Shui Cube was very happy and kept calling "Sister, sister" behind him.

This made Gu Xi think of Gu Yuan.

Shui Youcheng and Xu were overjoyed when they learned that the two men had sold them for 150 taels of silver.

"Now we can buy back our land."

"Yes, there is still a lot left. Thanks to God, our family has finally recovered."

The next day, Shui Youcheng was able to walk with the help of a cane. He and Shui Pingfang went to see the village chief, and after some bargaining, they bought back all the land from his family for sixty-five taels.

The remaining silver could be used to give ten taels of silver to the eldest son as a betrothal gift, and another tael of silver could be used to go to Xu's parents' home to return the money that her parents had paid for the younger son.

There were still eighty taels of silver left. Gu Xi said to Shui Youcheng:

"Dad, there is a severe drought this year. Many fields may not be able to produce any crops. Let's use the remaining silver to buy food."

Shui Youcheng: "Ah? How long will it take to eat so much food?"

Gu Xi said:

"If you can't finish it, you can sell it. The price of food will definitely go up by then."

Shui Youcheng thought about it and it made sense. Whenever there was a famine, the price of grain was very high. If he traded in the grain, he might be able to double his profit.

"Okay, then keep some for expenses and use the rest to buy food!"

Unexpectedly, the price of grain had started to rise. When Gu Xi and Shuiping Fang went to buy grain the next day, after some bargaining, they used seventy taels of silver to buy five thousand kilograms of rice and five thousand kilograms of brown rice.

After the food was transported back, the house was filled with food. Not only the granary, but also their bedrooms were filled with food.

There is also good news from the system, saying that a high-lift water pump has been obtained. It is solar-powered and can generate electricity and pump water as long as the sun is there.

One hundred points per set.

I’m afraid the system has calculated it, and the 100 points that Gu Xi just earned will be used up again.

But she still had to find a suitable reason for this thing to appear.

Now that her family has taken back their fields and has food, they no longer need to exchange water for food, so they can benefit their fellow villagers.

Shui Pingfang went to the village well to fetch water and came back with a sad face saying:

"Mom, there's no water in the well anymore. I've been drawing for a long time and only got this little half bucket."

Gu Xi took a look and found that not only was there little, but it was also turbid. How could he drink it?

"Brother, let's go into the mountains and get some water from the waterfall."

Horizontal Square Road:

"That's too far. I can't pick much."

Gu Xi:

"Brother, have you forgotten your space ring?"

Pingshui Fang slapped his forehead.

"Yeah! I actually forgot about this. Let's get a few more big vats so we can store more water!"

There was only one big water tank and two buckets in the house.

Shuipingfang went to the town and bought two large vats.

The brother and sister went into the mountains again.

Anyway, I have my sister's sleeping pills, so I'm not afraid of encountering wild beasts. If I do encounter one, I can make a lot of money.

When he arrived at the waterfall, Gu Xi took advantage of the time when the water level was filling up to enter the points mall.

[Solar high-pressure water pump, 100 points per unit, do you want to redeem it? ]

Gu Xi chose to exchange.

[Exchange successful! Current points balance: 0]

Gu Xi placed the water pump at the place where the bear had fallen.

Then stand next to the horizontal square as if nothing happened.

After a while, all the water tanks and buckets were filled with water.

He turned his head.

"Huh? What is this?"

Gu Xi also turned around and pretended to be surprised:

"Oh, what is this? It wasn't here just now!"

The horizontal side slowly approaches.

It was a circle of pipes, I don't know what material they were made of, and there was a big lump of iron in the middle.

When Shui Fang approached, he found a piece of paper on it and picked it up.

When he was young, he also attended a private school for a few years and could read. He saw that it was written:

"I am the mountain god here. I cannot bear to see the villagers of Chenshui Village suffer from disaster, so I specially sent a fairy water pump. After it is connected, it can transport the water from the mountain pond to Chenshui Village."

There are a few pages of paper at the back with some pictures, which are installation instructions.

The horizontal party was shocked beyond words.

"Sister, this is another magical weapon. It was actually given by the mountain god!"

Seeing that he was excited, Gu Xi pretended to be more excited than him:

"Really? Big brother! You are so lucky. The mountain god is looking after you. Maybe you are also the reincarnation of a god!"

Haha, that paper was what she wrote last night, and the drawing is the instruction manual.

When facing the mountain, worship it horizontally:

"Thank you, mountain god! Thank you, mountain god!"

Then, he connected the water pump step by step according to the picture.

The water pipe was very long, and Shui Pingfang ran back and forth several times to move it, and he was sweating profusely.

The brother and sister worked for most of the day and finally pulled the pipeline to Chenshui Village.

Gu Xi turned on the switch. After all, he was far away, so he didn't plan to come over to turn it off. Anyway, at night, when the sun was gone and the electricity was insufficient, the water would stop supplying water.

When the sun comes out tomorrow, the water pump will start again with the help of solar energy.

Everyone in the village ran over and saw a long pipe placed horizontally with water pouring out of the pipe.

With a grin on his face, he first filled the village well, then called on the villagers to help him move the pipe to the village pond.

Although the pipe was not thick, the water kept flowing, and the dry pond gradually filled up with water.

Shuiping gave the paper to the village chief. After reading it, the village chief was overjoyed and led all the villagers to bow down to the mountain.

"May the mountain god bless the people of Chenshui Village. We are willing to worship the mountain god for generations!"

Everyone in the village cried for joy.

Their crops are about to die from drought these past two days, and they might not even have drinking water.

It is said that villages farther away all fled to places with water sources to escape the famine.

Fleeing famine, what a terrible word it is. It means leaving your homeland, and also means dying of thirst or starvation.

Since the water pump was brought by Shuifang, everyone was very grateful to his family. They all helped to water the Shui family's land first, and then the village chief drew lots and watered the land according to the number.

Other villages in the surrounding area also heard that Chenshui Village was blessed with water by the mountain god, and many people came to watch, looking very envious.

Their crops are also being harvested!

The village chief said that once all the land in their village has been irrigated, people from other villages will be allowed to come and fetch water, but they must agree in advance that they must obey the arrangements of the water controller. If anyone forcibly snatches the water, don't blame them for being rude.

People from other villages each had their own plans.

In order to use the water first, someone secretly ran to Shui's house and bribed Shuifang, but was rejected by Shuifang.

Songzhuang Village is adjacent to Chenshui Village.

In the evening, the head of Songzhuang Village called a meeting of all the strong men in the village.

Village chief Song is only in his twenties this year. His father was the old village chief, who died of illness last year, and he took over as village chief. In many places, the village chief is hereditary.

He said to everyone:

"Brothers, if we don't water our crops, they will dry up. I decided to go to Chenshui Village tonight to steal water!"

All the men he called were about his age, all full of vigor and vitality. When he instigated them, they all expressed their agreement.
