Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Under the leadership of Li Qin, we came to the village where she lived. Everything she saw was desolate. The car could not continue moving before it reached the village. The road was narrow, bumpy and winding, and there were deep ditches on both sides of the road. Gully. Now the boys in the team came into play, getting off the bus with all the supplies on their shoulders and handbags.

A group of donkey carts came from a distance in the village. It was the villagers who received the notice from Li Qin and under the command of the brigade headquarters, drove their own donkey carts to pick up the guests. The villagers enthusiastically snatched the items from the hands of the team members, put them on the donkey cart, and enthusiastically urged everyone to get on the cart. Director Zhao did not hesitate at all and took the lead in getting on a donkey cart. He also took the reins from the villagers' hands with great interest. He wanted to drive the car himself. He said that when he joined the team, he did this kind of work a lot, and even Needless to say, the techniques and shouting sounded very professional, and of course all of this was recorded by reporters.

They were taken to the brigade headquarters. Several tables were set up in the yard. Food was already placed on the tables. Judging from the bowls, chopsticks and plates of different sizes, it seemed that this meal was put together by each household of the simple villagers. , many curious villagers were still lying on the low wall and looking at them with smiles, like watching giant pandas.

The food was very simple, but everyone enjoyed it. After all, this was a kind gesture from the villagers, which should not be dismissed. Li Qin's father is the village chief. Although he is only in his 40s, his face looks more than 60 years old. He looks very vicissitudes of life. Like all villagers, his face always has a grayish feeling.

After the meal, the reporters began to get busy. They took pictures of the only well in the village. A villager lowered a bucket into the well. At the bottom of the bucket was a heavy iron block. On the edge of the well was a rope wrapped around it. After all the ropes were released, the villager shook the rope in his hand and felt that the bucket was at the bottom. He grabbed the rope and picked it up, then suddenly let it go. Then he turned his hands, twisted the bucket up, and poured out the contents of the bucket. The stuff is just thick yellow mud.

They picked out a few more people to follow the donkey cart that was out pulling water to a small ravine more than ten miles away. It was exactly what Li Qin said. There were already more than a dozen donkey carts waiting in line.

A deep pit had been dug under a small spring. It took a few minutes for a ladle of water to flow out of the stream. The villagers quickly scooped up mud and water and put it into a bucket.

The team members looked at this scene with sore eyes. Even Baldy Li, who usually talked endlessly, fell silent.

The reporter interviewed Li Qin's father. Li said with a serious tone: "We are still more than 20 kilometers away from the nearest tap water connection. Look at the rugged terrain. The cost of connecting tap water is too high, let alone the town. Even the county can't afford so much money. So we can only use water cellars to store some water when it rains in summer. The water in this water cellar must be enough for a year."

The reporter asked: "Can this problem be solved if we dig deep water wells?"

Lao Li said: "We have drilled before, but no water came out. The well drilling team said they could not find the water holes."

Gao Hongda pulled Li Qin aside and said, "Didn't you say there is a blind man in your town who can calculate water veins? Can you invite him?"

Li Qin asked back: "Didn't you say that you also know him? Who's called Big Cake? I'll ask my uncle to invite him. But this old man has to pay 3 yuan to find a borehole. He's in the dark!"

Gao Hongda patted his backpack and said: "Don't worry, go and invite me, brother, I have money! As long as he can calculate accurately, I will give him 3!"

Li Qin had no choice but to ask her uncle to set up a donkey cart to invite people. Two hours later, a blind man wearing a Chinese tunic suit was pulled over. He was holding a bamboo pole in his hand, wearing a pair of large sunglasses, a yellow cloth bag slung on his body, a goatee, and an air of immortality. appearance.

Gao Hongda quickly stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

The blind man tilted his head and asked: "My little friend, do you know me?"

Gao Hongda leaned into his ear and said, "Teacher Liu Fuzi asked me to come to you for help. He said you are a person who understands righteousness."

The blind man was shocked and asked quickly: "Did that bear thing really say that?"

Gao Hongda calmly replied: "Teacher Liu told me personally that he is also guilty of you and the past."

Two lines of hot tears flowed from the blind man's eyes: "After so many years, I also understand that the fault was my fault at the beginning. It was my small mind. I was blind first and then my eyes. Everything is retribution! That After the woman left, Old Liu has not been comfortable for the past twenty years. Forget it, forget it!"

Gao Hongda expressed his request: "I heard that Mr. Feng Shui is a master of Feng Shui and is good at finding dragon acupoints. We have formed a poverty alleviation team and want to build a few wells in nearby villages to make everyone's life easier. So please sir, help us set a water eye!"

The blind man held out three fingers. Gao Hongda naturally understood what he meant and immediately added: "As long as it can benefit the villagers, I will pay 3 yuan!"

The blind man sighed and said: "You are doing good things for the people, and I am taking advantage of them. It makes me look like I am not a good person, but there is nothing I can do. I have no children, so I have to live!"

Gao Hongda comforted him and said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to blame yourself. This search for dragons and acupuncture points is also tainted with karma, so we definitely can't let Mr. Zhang bear this karma in vain!"

The blind man's expression was startled, and then he grinned and said: "So young man, you are also a member of the same group! You know the rules very well!"

Gao Hongda said modestly: "I dare not show off in front of the master! I still ask the master to take action!"

The blind man stopped talking nonsense, took out his compass, walked straight to a poplar tree, and said as he walked: "I want to do this, and no one else but this young man should follow me!"

Gao Hongda looked at the way he walked and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Zhang's eyes..."

The blind man lowered his voice and said: "Don't say anything, you are very smart. When I was in the capital, Master Liu took me to the hospital to fix one of my eyes. Although it was not clear, it no longer affected my ability to eat in the aisle. Don't tell me Others! Otherwise it will affect my image as a master!"

Gao Hongda grinned and whispered in agreement.

The blind man walked around the poplar tree. According to the instructions of the compass, he inserted five wooden nails around the tree, and then wrapped the red thread back and forth between the wooden nails, and finally wrapped it into the shape of a five-pointed star, and then wrapped it around the five-pointed star. He drew a cross in the center, tapped the cross with the bamboo pole in his hand and said: "There must be a water vein 66 meters below this point!"

Gao Hongda asked doubtfully: "Sir, are you serious? There is no water in that dry well for more than 100 meters!"

The blind man said confidently: "Down here is where the underground dragon's eye is. I won't tell you that mysterious thing. To put it bluntly, this is the underground water vein. The roots of the Populus euphratica tree can penetrate very deep. The more vigorous the tree grows, the better. There must be water veins underground. Don’t forget to burn incense to pay homage to the Dragon King before digging the well!"

Gao Hongda found Director Zhao and asked Director Zhao if he believed in Feng Shui. Director Zhao said seriously: "The things passed down by our ancestors must have their merits. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Gao Hongda briefly talked about the positioning of the blind man, and then suggested: "We can invite the well drilling team to try it. As for the cost, I will handle it!"

Director Zhao asked in surprise: "As a student, how can you solve this problem? This is not a matter of 30 to 50 yuan."

Lao Bi, who was standing aside, quickly explained: "Reporting to Director Zhao, this is Gao Hongda, the founder of our two school-run enterprises, and he is also very energetic."

Director Zhao was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile on his face: "You are the Gao Hongda who is registered in our bureau, right? If you are brave and have ideas, okay, I will do as you say! This well digger I'll take care of things."
