Chapter 45 The Village

"I'd love to fly." Tao Liu looked at the birds in the sky envied by the sky, saying, "How great it would be to fly directly."

"Stop daydreaming." Shen said with a wry smile. She was in a very heavy mood at this time.

"I just said that." Tao Liuyi scratched his head stupidly, and touched his eyes with dull and unhappy eyes, "Dad, Dad! Look at what is ahead?" Suddenly, he pointed to the front excitedly and said, "Why do I feel like a house? My eyes are not blurred!"

Tao Shiwu looked at him along his gaze and blinked hard, "It's a house, it's a house, it's a house, it's a rescue, it's a rescue."

"This is not a mirage, right?" Shen said, looking at the house in front of him with wide eyes.

"The mirage is in the sky. This is obviously not the real house." Tao Qini said excitedly, "Let's go and see if anyone?"

"No!" Yao Changsheng frowned and said without thinking.

"Why?" Tao Liuyi asked in confusion when he looked at him with hope.

"At this time, smoke should be curling. Have you seen the smoke?" Yao Changsheng analyzed calmly.

"Mr. Yao, there are only two meals a day in the countryside, and there will be no smoke at this time." Shen said hurriedly as he looked at him, and a smile that had not been there for the past few days appeared on his face, "What we need now is water!"

"Yes, everything is enough." Tao Shiwu pulled the wheelbarrow and said, "Let's go and see."

Tao Qini, who calmed down, looked at the village ahead and looked at the surrounding environment. Her sorrow climbed up to her heart. It was probably because the people left the village.

You have to go and see this, if there is any gain in it!

As they got closer, the general appearance of the village fell into their eyes.

This village covers a wide area, "This village is much larger than ours." Tao Liuyi couldn't help but say stammeringly.

"It's great!" Tao Qini said happily.

"Why is Ni'er so happy?" Shen asked curiously as she looked at her.

"The village is big, so we must solve the draft problem?" Tao Qini said optimistically as she looked at them.

"There is definitely no water. If there is water, people will not escape from the famine." Tao Liuyi said immediately when he looked at them.

"You are too arbitrary and don't check it, how can you easily draw a conclusion?" Tao Qini said with bright eyes looking at him.

"I won't be wrong this time." Tao Liuyi patted his chest and said confidently, "Look at the dry farmland outside the village, there is not even seedlings, it would be strange if there is water." Hearing Tao Qini's slight laughter, "Why is my guess wrong?"

"I said that if you don't check it, don't make a judgment." Tao Qini looked at him seriously and said, "Do you don't have to take a river to draw water, there are also water wells!"

"Okay, okay, hope!" Tao Liuyi looked at her and shook his head slightly, "It's hard!"

"You'll know when you look!" Tao Qini looked at him with dark eyes and turned around. Judging from now on, Tao Liuyi's crow mouth was really right.

The group accelerated their pace into the village. The adobe house was low and dilapidated, without any popularity.

The village is quite large, and there are about a hundred households looking at the houses.

The house of Li Zheng’s family is obviously taller than other houses and is also grandly located in the middle of the village.

"Ni'er, you're losing! There's no water at all." Tao Liuyi said in frustration, "I hope you win."

"Look at what that is?" Tao Qini pointed to the water shaft near in front of her.

"A water well does not mean there is water." Tao Liuyi walked over quickly and lay at the mouth of the bluestone well and looked inside.

At first glance, there was no drop of water. Tao Liuyi collapsed on the edge of the well, his eyes were dull, and he shouted, "No water, no water..."

Tao Qini's eyes also dimmed. She didn't notice the water vapor from afar. Sure enough, her feelings were correct. It seems that this time, they were abandoned by God and did not stand on their side.

"In such a dry weather, the well has long since dried up." Yao Changsheng sat on the bluestone beside the well, "It seems that God will not help us this time."

The Tao couple sat down around the wellhead, both of whom were both discouraged and had no trace of anger in their eyes.

Tao Qini looked at the well in front of her. The diameter of the wellhead is about 1.5 meters and the depth is about 3 or 4 meters. The well is arc-shaped and is made of stones. The well platform is very flat and smooth. There are several large stone strips for washing clothes on the ground, and next to it is a regular stone drainage ditch.

You can imagine how lively it is when there is water, but it is dry and thick gray is falling on it.

I think I have been here for a long time without anyone.

Yao Changsheng unwillingly picked up the stone on the ground and threw it into the well. With a bang..., the sound of falling to the ground was not the sound of ding dong.

"Mr. Yao, I can't see this well at first glance." Tao Liuyi leaned on the well wall and tilted his head slightly to look at him and said honestly.

Yao Changsheng looked at him and smiled bitterly, "I know, I'm just confirming it." As he said that, he sat down and leaned against Jing Wall, he said calmly, "You can give up now." His voice, which had not been in the water for a long time, was hoarse as a broken gong, and no longer had a clear and moist look.

The air was so quiet that it could not even be heard in the sound of heartbeat. They knew in their hearts that this was the ending, and despair was shrouded in them.

But there is nothing to be afraid of! This mentality has changed from panic to numbness, and now it is very calm.

"Mom, what kind of tree is this?" Tao Qini looked at the big tree not far from the well and said.

"I can't tell this, the bark has been stripped naked." Shen raised his eyelids and looked at the big tree that could be hugged by someone, "Usually, the big trees next to the well are all soap trees."

"Why?" Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and said, looking at her.

"Look at the obvious stone strips for washing clothes, there is a high possibility of acacia tree." Shen turned his head slightly and looked at her and said, "If it is not, I won't know."

Tao Qini's head gently knocked on the well wall, watching the fire clouds fade away, the sky gradually darkened and the stars came out.

Water, what should I do with you? How to take it out is reasonable. My eyes suddenly turned around and looked at the well in front of me. It would be good if there is a well. If there is a well, she could cheat and inject the water from the capsule into the well.

Tao Qini looked at Mizui with bright eyes, her lips raised, and a shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom.

"What are you doing?" Shen asked hurriedly as he looked at Tao Qini who was standing up.

"Cut wood!" Tao Qini said as she walked to the soapberry tree and looked at the surrounding environment. The well was in the middle of the village, and there were courtyard walls on both sides.

Every household in the countryside has trees, and their own trees are reluctant to peel off the bark, but they still cannot stop the trees from dying.
