Happy Farmer's Life

After Zhou Wen decocted the medicine, the two worked together to let Wang Wu drink the medicine. Du Weiming thought that as long as he didn't get infected, it wouldn't be a big problem, but if he got infected, it would be troublesome.I changed the medicine for the wound on my body again, and now I can only pray.

The village chief asked the whole village to gather this morning. Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to stay at home to take care of Wang Wu, and he went to attend first.

Many villagers had already arrived at the sacrificial square, and everyone was talking in twos and threes, mostly about what to do when the river dried up, or how the three injured boys were doing.Seeing Du Weiming coming, some villagers came forward and asked, "Er Gouzi, how is Wang Wu's injury?"

"What did the doctor say?"

"Just tell me if you need help, don't be shy."

Du Weiming didn't know what to answer first.

"Thank you for your concern. Wang Wu's injury is stable now. He had a high fever last night and it has subsided this morning. Wait for two days to drink the medicine and let the doctor come to see him."

"Er Gouzi, if you have any difficulties, please tell us."

"Yes, yes, don't be shy, everyone is from the same village, so just say what you have."

Du Weiming felt a little bit of warmth in his heart, and only at this time did he feel like he was truly integrated into this place.Although he didn't know how he came to this place, and originally wanted to live a good life, but now he really felt the sincerity of the villagers.I may not trouble others, but the kindness shown by everyone can still be felt.

"Thank you, uncles and aunts, if you have any difficulties, I will tell you."

After almost all the villagers arrived, the village chief stepped forward to speak.

"Let everyone come here today. I believe everyone knows why. Now the river is almost dry, and the crops in the field have also been seriously damaged. This time the boys went out to find the water source. Although they found it now, but this The water pool is two mountains away from us, and it takes five or six days to go back and forth, and the most important thing is that there are ferocious beasts, everyone, what should we do about this matter?"

The villagers fell silent all of a sudden. This is a matter that is closely related to everyone. It is imperative to fetch water, but the danger on the road has been shown this time, and three people have been injured.

"Do you think there is anything you can do?"

"Village chief, why don't you send more people to fetch water next time?"

"What if we encounter wolves or other beasts again?"

Yes, this is the biggest problem. Everyone can overcome the long distance. The problem is what to do with the beasts.

"Uncle Wang, you are an old hunter on our side, what can you do?"

Uncle Wang was silent. Although he is an old hunter, he has nothing to do with the wolves.Wolves live in packs. Whenever they appear, they are a pack of wolves, and their unity is very high. The only thing they fear is fire.

"Village Chief, otherwise, let's equip more weapons. At night, we all stay together, try to get as close to the water source as possible, and light more fires. Wolves are afraid of fire." "Yes, Village Chief, let's go down to the water." The more people go, the more people will be safer.”

"Yes, yes, we'll bring more weapons and more torches."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and the village chief nodded repeatedly.

"In this way, I know everyone's thoughts, and I will tell everyone what to do after discussing with the elders in the village."

After everyone dispersed and went home, the village chief asked several respected elders in the village to stay. After discussing, he decided to send 4 people to fetch water tomorrow morning, led by Zhang Dazhu and Wang Orion.Each person carries [-] earthen pots to fetch water, and when they come back, they are divided according to the number of people in each household. Everyone except women, children and the elderly must participate, otherwise they will not be eligible for water distribution.If there are only the elderly or children and women in the family, special care will be given to them directly.

On the way home, Du Weiming felt that this was not a long-term solution. Although he had never been to this pool, he could tell from Zhang Dazhu's description that it was far away from the village, and it was impossible to fetch a lot of water every time, otherwise There is no way to bring it, and the water taken is only enough for life. What about the crops, the crops in the field also need water.

The village head and the others discussed the first batch of water fetching lists, but Du Weiming didn't go to his house because Wang Wu was injured and needed someone to take care of him. Du Weiming couldn't be counted among the boys, so the village head came to visit Wang Wu I have already said at the time that they are not required to participate in the first batch, and they will be allowed to participate when everyone takes turns going in the future.Of course, the water will still be given to them.

"Uncle Village Chief, please remember to bring more oilcloths when fetching water?"

"Why the oilcloth?"

"I can't carry the pottery pots for water when they are open. If I am on the road, a lot of water will flow out. Cut the oilcloth into pieces and fix them with ropes after fetching water, so that it will not leak out easily when carrying or carrying it."

"That's right, that's right, I haven't thought of it yet. Li Er is getting smarter now. This is a good way. I'll talk to everyone later. Thank you for your reminder."

Du Weiming thought to himself, this is because I have done it myself once, and I always do this when storing water in clay pots at home, otherwise how could I bury it in the soil.It turned out that the thatched cover in the village could not be covered at all, and it was impossible to seal it with mud. After much deliberation, tarpaulin was the most reliable.

The village head quickly went to arrange other things. Du Weiming actually had something else to say. Think about it, let's wait until the team leaves tomorrow. Now the village is making preparations for this water fetching.

The water storage at home has dropped sharply. Because of Wang Wu's injury, the water in the water tank is only one-third left. It would not be a problem to just wait for them to fetch water back.As it is now, one person brings four jars, and twenty people means 80 jars. There are about fifty or sixty households in the village, and one family can get one jar of water, which is not enough at all.It seems that I have to try my new method to see if it will work.

Although Wang Wu's fever subsided, he still didn't wake up.Du Weiming fed him the medicine for the second time. If he still doesn't wake up tomorrow, he should ask the doctor to take a look.

I still drink porridge for lunch, and now I don't have the time or mood to cook.The two drank porridge and surrounded Wang Wu with a bowl of porridge.After feeding the medicine again, Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to take a rest. He would cook dinner. During the day, Wang Wu would be taken care of by him, and at night, Zhou Wen would take care of him. .

"Master, I'm not sleepy, you go and have a rest, I'll take care of you here."

"Zhou Wen, if you are told to go to rest, go quickly, and you will take care of it at night."

"Master, I'm really not tired, go and rest."

"Zhou Wen, if you treat me as the young master, listen to me and go to rest, hurry up!"

It was the first time for Zhou Wen to hear Du Weiming speak to him in such a harsh tone. The young master is so kind, he never regarded them as human beings.After listening to Du Weiming's words, Zhou Wen went to rest in his room.

After Zhou Wen went to rest, Du Weiming took a bowl of water and dipped some water in a handkerchief for Wang Wu to drink. He didn't drink much, but it was a lot of waste.

Zhou Wen just sat on the stool and looked at it while thinking. In fact, Du Weiming thought about this water source. When he was a child in the countryside, almost every family had a well.When there was no running water, well water was used at home.But how to dig wells, which is suitable for digging wells, I really don't know anything about it, I don't know if anyone in this place can dig wells now.How about asking the village chief tomorrow if anyone knows how to dig a well.

I remember that the wells in the countryside are about six or seven meters deep, and the well mouths are not big. The surroundings are built with bricks and then sealed with cement, but I have never seen a well dug.Ask first and then talk, if not, try digging yourself.

At night, Wang Wu finally woke up.Thank goodness for that.

"Master, am I back?"

"Wang Wu, lie down and don't move, be careful of the wound."

"Wang Wu, don't worry, you've already gone home, and the doctor has come to see you, there's nothing serious about it."

Zhou Wen and Du Weiming were so happy, they finally woke up.If I go to sleep again, I really need to ask the doctor to look at it.Du Weiming put another pillow under Wang Wu's head so that he could drink water.

Zhou Wen went out to boil some hot water, mixed some cold water and brought it in a bowl.

"Be careful, drink some water first, don't worry, drink slowly."

"Wang Wu, how do you feel now, does the wound hurt?"

"It's okay, but it hurts a little."

In fact, this kind of injury is not a serious injury to Wang Wu. In the past, he suffered more severe injuries during training or missions, but this is the first time someone cares about him so much, which makes him feel warm. .

"You take a rest first, and you need to drink medicine later. Are you hungry now, do you want to get something to eat?"

Du Weiming let Zhou Wen watch, and he went out and cooked 7 boiled eggs, Wang Wu 3, and Zhou Wen and himself 2.There is also sugar in the bottom of the bowl.

"Wang Wu, I don't know what you can eat now. It's evening. I boiled some boiled eggs. You can eat them first. I'll ask the doctor tomorrow to see if there is anything to avoid, and then I will make it for you." delicious."

"Zhou Wen, I also cooked two for you, you go and eat first, I'll feed Wang Wu."

"No need, young master. You go and eat, and I'll feed you. It doesn't matter if I'm eating after feeding."

Unable to resist Zhou Wen, Du Weiming brought his own bowl over to eat.Wang Wu was asking about his situation after being injured, Du Weiming and Zhou Wen explained to him one by one.Hearing that the villagers were not seriously injured, Wang Wu was relieved.Zhou Wen also said that someone in the village will set off to fetch water tomorrow.

"There are wolves on the road, can they do it?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to 20 people this time. I brought extra torches and weapons. It should be fine."

"Remind them to pay attention to safety. It's best to find a place to sleep before it's dark. It's best to have an open place and light more torches."

"Okay, I will tell them these words. You just woke up, and you should take a rest after eating. Take the medicine later."

After Wang Wu finished eating, he lay down and continued to rest. Zhou Wen went out to eat his own portion, and then went to make medicine for Wang Wu.
