The home of the old man who transported water is also a small stone courtyard, with a stone fence, a stone house, a roof covered with stone slabs, the ground in the yard is also paved with stone slabs, and there is a stone vat
Stones can be said to be used in every aspect of people¡¯s daily lives here.
"My husband, please, my house is simple, don't laugh at me," the old man said cautiously as he introduced Yunjing into the yard.
Stepping into the yard, the first thing Yunjing saw was a few chickens and ducks jumping around. There was a yellow dog at the door of the yard, and there was a deep pit of about ten square meters in the corner. Inside were the venomous snakes raised by the old man's family, hissing. Hissed.
Yun Jing said with a smile: "Don't make jokes, old man. The student was born in a farm family since he was a child. He is also from a poor family and has lived a hard life."
The old man was stunned for a moment and said in slight surprise: "How did the gentleman read? As far as I know, it is not easy for ordinary people to study."
"I'm lucky. I was lucky enough to have a good master when I was a child, and then I had the opportunity to study," Yun Jing said with a smile.
If he hadn¡¯t become a disciple of Li Qiu, he doesn¡¯t know what kind of life he would have lived now.
"So that's it." The old man nodded and didn't ask any more questions, knowing that such a good thing couldn't happen to him.
Then he glanced at the yellow dog tied at the door of his house with slight surprise. In the past, it would bark twice even if an acquaintance came here. But now when Yunjing came, not only did it not bark, but it sat on the ground and wagged its tail.
It wasn¡¯t like this before, has this bitch changed?
Muttering in his heart, the old man shouted into the room: "Shizhu, we have a guest at home. Bring a stool for the guest to sit on, and ask your wife to cook more food and make it better."
"Dad, who is it?" A shirtless middle-aged man appeared at the door, gnawing a cucumber in his hand. He was stunned when he saw the cloud scene and didn't recognize him at all.
The old man said: "The scholar I just met on the way to fetch water wants to stay at our house for one night as it is getting dark." After that, he said to Yun Jing: "Mr., this is my second son."
Yunjing smiled at the other party and nodded as a greeting, but he was confused in his heart. He remembered that at first the old man said that his eldest daughter got married last year, but his second son looked to be in his early thirties. His eldest son Daughter¡¯s second marriage?
This is a family matter, and Yunjing has no intention of asking about it.
"Just go if I tell you to go. Where's all this nonsense?" the old man yelled. Then after the other party hurriedly moved in and waited, he handed it to Yunjing and said, "Mr. Lang, you must be tired from the journey. Sit down and have a rest first. Let's eat." It¡¯ll be fine soon¡±
In rural areas, when guests come to the house, they usually stay in the yard unless it is windy or raining. After all, houses in rural areas are built low to save money, and they are reluctant to light lights, so entertaining guests in the yard is a choice. Lift.
Yunjing also grew up in a farm family, so he naturally took the stool and said, "Thank you very much."
"No need to thank you, you should. Mr. Sir, please sit down. I'll pour the water into the water tank. I'll fetch water later for you to wash away the dust." The old man said politely and quickly got to work.
"Let me help." Yun Jing saw that the water tank looked very heavy and offered to help.
The old man stopped him and said, "Where can I get Mr. Lang to take action? Let's just come." Then he said to the stone pillars carefully looking at the cloud scenery beside him: "What are you doing? Help carry water."
In the small farmyard, the father is strong, the son is dull, and there are two children at the door who are looking cautiously and not daring to show their faces. This scene and the cloud scenery feel very cordial.
Since people don¡¯t need help, he doesn¡¯t force it. After all, usually when guests come to the house, there is no reason for them to take action.
So he carried a wooden stool to the stone roller and sat down, took out his pen and ink and started writing today's travel notes.
It is estimated that there are very few strangers in this village, especially those who are literate. Seeing Yunjing writing quietly, the old man and his family subconsciously slowed down for fear of disturbing Yunjing, but they looked curiously from a distance but did not dare to approach.
Not only their family, but also many simple villagers came around the yard to look at it curiously.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Some big girls and little wives look at it and blush, talk in low voices, tell dirty jokes, thinking that Yun Jing can¡¯t hear
Having experienced this kind of thing many times, Yunjing didn't take it seriously and just pretended that he didn't know and remained calm.
Slowly, it got dark, people dispersed, the old man¡¯s food was prepared, and Yun Jing, who had written his travel notes and packed up, was invited to the house.
Because there were guests at home, the old man and his family lit an oil lamp with gritted teeth and stomped their feet. They usually couldn't bear to do this. It costs money to light an oil lamp and burn oil.
The old man has a family of six, the old couple, his son, his daughter-in-law, andbsp; The night was quiet, and Yun Jing's mind controlled the tough stones to rotate at high speed underground, like a drill, opening up the sealed places everywhere, finally leaving a thin layer, and then he fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Yunjing got up, had a simple breakfast at his old man's house, and then left.
Arriving at the official road, he looked back at the poor mountain village, extended his mind power, and silently opened up a thin barrier in the underground river.
Under the water pressure, the underground water quickly surges toward the surface along the underground gaps.
Under the early morning sunshine, in the low-lying part of the quiet mountain village, a water column shot up more than ten meters high, splashing turbid water columns. There was a faint rainbow flickering in the sunlight, and gradually, the water column weakened little by little.
This situation alarmed many villagers, who all stared blankly in the direction of the water source.
"Waterwater"
"There is water!"
I don¡¯t know who screamed, and the whole village ¡®exploded¡¯. Almost everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed to the place where the underground water came out.
They gathered around the spring where the water gushes out. They were all in disbelief, thinking they were dreaming. But when they touched the water carefully, they were not afraid that the newly gushed water was still turbid, so they took a sip.
This is really water.
"There is water!"
"There is water in our village"
"God opens his eyes"
¡¡
Many villagers subconsciously knelt by the water, kowtowed, thanked God for giving them water, and cried bitterly with joy and excitement.
Yun Jing smiled as he ¡®saw¡¯ the villagers who were so excited that they were crying because of the water.
It feels so good to be able to help others and see the excitement and happiness on their faces.
Looking back, his journey will continue.
As for whether they will associate groundwater with themselves who have only been there once, is it important?
