Chapter 91
After Zong Bai finished eating, he wiped his mouth, picked up his things and left.
In fact, Fang Jinxiu also wanted to go with him to see where the ditch was being dug, but he was worried that Mu would be alone at home, so he simply didn't say anything.
The sun is in full swing now, and most of the people in the village who come to dig canals are young adults at home. However, the drought has long made the young adults thin and sallow.
There are also a few older ones who were pushed out to make up the numbers by the unfilial sons of the family who were greedy for life and afraid of death.
There were only a few people who could really do the work. Apart from him and Zong Hu Tiezhu, there were three boys from the other families who looked capable.
The remaining people were either too old or too young to rely on such a team to go into the mountains and try to dig canals into the village.
Even Zong Yu couldn't help but frown, it was nothing more than nonsense.
When will this be dug?
Tie Zhu and Zong Yu were leading the way, and the more he walked, the more familiar this road became.
It was already noon, and everyone had not reached the place after walking for almost two hours. The young and old in the village were obviously exhausted.
Everyone is hungry and it is difficult to walk across. Can we dig a ditch?
Zong Yu had no choice but to ask everyone to find a place to rest where they were, but they couldn't run far away. It was best not to leave everyone's sight because of the dangers in the mountains.
The village chief explained to them the meaning of the risk agreement everyone signed before going up the mountain.
For the sake of their own lives, no one dares to run around in the mountains.
Village Chief Wang really didn't expect that the villagers' physical strength would be so poor after going up the mountain. They hadn't even reached the water source yet. Everyone was exhausted. How could they dig ditches?
He asked his son worriedly, "Tie Zhu, how far away is the place where you found the water source?"
The wild mountain is really big, with several hills connected together, and the iron pillars have not been climbed up a few times.
Originally, he felt that he was not heading the wrong way, but when his father asked him this, he felt a little less confident.
"We should be arriving soon. I remember it's in this direction."
Seeing the uncertain look on his son's face, Village Chief Wang could only sigh and turned around and walked in Zong Yu's direction.
Zong Yu was talking to Zong Hu over there.
"Ayu, there are too many young and old people in the village. If we don't have food and drink to support us, we may not be able to dig the canals."
Zong Yu also saw this.
But right now, whose food is not more valuable than life, who is willing to use it to feed the team digging the ditches.
Before setting off, he asked Village Chief Wang to inform the villagers that they should prepare their own food when going up the mountain, so as not to faint from hunger and harm others.Looking at the hungry and dizzy villagers in front of them, it was obvious that they did not listen to the village chief's words.
"Brother Hu, has your family prepared anything for you? You're so hungry." A young man leaning under the tree next to him asked, grabbing Zong Hu's clothes.
Zong Hu pulled his hand away angrily, "You're asking me for food? Didn't I tell you to bring your own dry food before going up the mountain?"
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Who has extra rations now?"
"Don't you go out every day to dig wild vegetables and chew tree roots?"
"Can we really dig ditches like this? We don't want to starve to death in the mountains before we even get there."
The young man's words expressed the thoughts of the big guys.
Especially those young and old who were forcibly pushed out from their families, almost all of them had a look of hopeless numbness on their faces, as if they were not here to dig ditches, but to die.
Zong Hu looked irritated.
Village Chief Wang walked to Zong Yu worriedly, "Zong Yu, what do you think we should do now?"
"After walking for too long, everyone has no strength."
Tie Zhu also echoed, "That's right, brother Zong Yu, aren't you very familiar with the mountains? Please think of a way."
Zong Hu originally never cared about Zong Yu's business, and he and his cousin were like strangers with the same surname.
After Fang Jinxiu rescued Xiao Xiaohu, Zong Hu's mentality changed a lot. In addition, Wang Yan'er always told him after returning home that people should repay kindness.
Without saying a word, Zong Hu followed the team digging the ditch up the mountain in order to help Zong Yu.
When I heard Tie Zhu's words, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in my heart.
"What are you talking about? Ayu is familiar with the mountains. At most, he can only guarantee that you will not be attacked by wild beasts."
"Can I still control what you eat and drink?"
Tie Zhu was choked and speechless, but Village Chief Wang kept his eyes on Zong Yu. It was obvious that the whole burden of digging the ditch had been placed on him.
Hope Zongyu can solve all the problems.
