The villagers were all surprised, some were happy, and some felt unsure. They all looked at the Li family, the village chief, and Uncle Zhao.
Sure enough, the village chief refused immediately.
"Mrs. Cui, we know that you have good intentions. Remembering the friendship of supporting each other all the way out of the mountains, you want to take more care of us all. But people, the most important thing is to keep your peace of mind. Needless to say, when everyone arrives at your village, Life will definitely be better than now. But as time goes by, those who are neither masters nor servants will easily break the rules and make us lazy. If someone who is greedy and dissatisfied causes something to happen, we may still be able to survive in the end. It will ruin the friendship."
"Yes," Uncle Zhao and the other two also said, "Although this place looks desolate, it was given to all of us by the imperial court. As long as we are willing to endure hardship, we will definitely be a good place in two years. , enough for us to support our family."
"Yes, Mrs. Cui, thank you for your kindness. We will definitely turn this place into a good place."
"We will open up wasteland tomorrow and grow food on both sides of the mountains. We will invite you to be our guest in the autumn. , try the grain and vegetables we grew."
The villagers also spoke one after another, hearing Mrs. Cui sigh, but they also became more and more fond of these self-reliant "travel companions".
Seeing this, Mr. Wen also said, "Well, everyone is busy now. If you need our help, you must say it. Moreover, the farm will not be able to run away. If everyone feels that it is not a good place in the future, we will call you at any time." You can go to the farm again."
The words were humorous and comfortable to listen to. Everyone laughed and responded one after another.
"Don't worry, sir, we don't have any acquaintances here anymore. If anything happens, we will definitely ask sir and Mrs. Cui for help."
For a while, everyone ate and got new farm tools, and they were all happy.
He didn't even wait for tomorrow, so he immediately went to the mountains to open up wasteland.
There are two mountains on the east and west. The west mountain is relatively barren, with fewer dwarf pines and more weeds.
Therefore, everyone planned to conquer here first.
The new picks and saws were very sharp, and everyone worked enthusiastically to break the tree body and dig out the roots.
Relying on his strength, Li Laosi simply threw away his pickaxe when he encountered a small tree and started to pick it up.
The side of the cliff near the valley was a little steep, and there were a few small pines growing there, so he tied a rope around his waist and went over to deal with it.
The villagers wanted to help, but he drove them away.
Although the cliff is not high, you can still fall if you fall. The fewer people there, the safer it is.
One tree, two trees, three trees, within half an hour, Li Laosi was almost done.
But when it was the turn of the last tree, this pine tree was particularly strong and refused to leave the embrace of Mother Dashan.
Li Laosi also lost his temper for a moment. He stared at a stone on the edge of the cliff and shook the pine tree vigorously.
As a result, the pine tree was still there, but Li Laosi and the stone fell down together.
The villagers were startled and ran towards the cliff screaming.
"Fourth, Fourth!"
"Hurry up and pull the rope!"
Li Laosi suddenly laughed under the cliff, "Hahaha, come and see, we are lucky!"
Everyone hurriedly got down and tried their best to reach out. When he turned his head, he saw that Li Laosi was soaked all over. On top of his head, a stream of spring water was pouring down, and there was a steaming mist.
Hot springs! This is a hot spring!
"Ah, hot spring, there is a hot spring!" Everyone was so happy that they threw away their farm tools and wanted to dance.
Everyone in the valley was also stunned.
There was a loud noise just now, and everyone was worried about Li Laosi's safety. Fortunately, he tied a rope.
As a result, the spring water sprinkled down from the sky in the next moment, like spring rain all over the sky, but it was exceptionally warm.
The half-grown boys went crazy with joy and rushed forward with howls and screams without fear of getting their clothes wet.
The old men and women threw away their work, shouted to the children, and retreated far away, for fear of falling rocks.
Jiayin was originally sitting in Mrs. Cui's arms, listening to Mrs. Cui and her grandma discussing how to put a farm in their name on the pretext of giving her, this little girl, a dowry in the future.
But it will take at least fifteen or sixteen years for her to get married, so this is just a different way of giving Zhuangzi to the family.
Of course the old lady couldn't take it, and the reason was very domineering.
"We Fu Niu are lucky. When she grows up and gets married, the family will definitely have a better life. Then we will prepare a thick dowry for her."
Before I could say this, spring water emerged from the originally bare cliff. Hot springs!
Mrs. Li snatched her granddaughter and kissed her twice, almost jumping up and down with joy.
"I'm right, we Fu Niu are blessed and have brought wealth to the family!"
Mrs. Cui was also surprised. She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this was indeed a coincidence.
The good news is also a direct clap of joy, the most barren gravel beach, because this hot spring will really become a veritable gravel beach in the future!
Li Laosi screamed at the villagers, handed him a drill and a sledgehammer, and rushed around the spring to beat him again.
The gravel fell down, and the spring water surged more and more, gradually turning into a waterfall.
The hot spring water falls from a high place, the mist disperses, and half of the valley looks like a fairyland on earth.
The spring water washed out a small pool under the cliff, and then overflowed, slowly moving forward and forward along the waterway where summer rainwater originally flowed all year round, and finally merged into the small river beside Guan Road.
Li Laosi was tired. His arms were numb, so he was dragged up the mountain by everyone, and then Liu Biaotong continued digging.
They didn't stop until the sun was about to set.
The entire mountain wall also became a small waterfall.
Everyone gathered in the valley, looking at the waterfall gifted by heaven, and they were silent for a long time.
It was the village chief who took the lead and knelt down, choking and kowtowing.
"Thank God for giving us fairy springs and transforming barren beaches into treasures. We and future generations will be grateful for God's kindness throughout our lives!"
The villagers actually don't know how much they will benefit from this hot spring waterfall in the future.
But they knew that outside of Kyoto, there were also Zhuangzi with hot springs, each of which was more than ten times more expensive than ordinary Zhuangzi.
The barren mountainous land they were assigned must have become valuable because of this hot spring.
Their situation was completely different from this moment on.
"Thank God, thank God! Woo hoo, we are not afraid of starving to death at last."
"We are saved, we will have good days in the future!"
Mr. Wen was as happy as the villagers, and he even immediately started planning for the village.
"This hot spring must be protected and not dirty. The water pool under the mountain wall must be expanded to at least two or three acres, which can be used for boating and swimming. The water channel must be built and more bubbles must be built. "A small courtyard or cabin in a hot spring."
Halfway through, he actually lifted up his legs and left. "I'm going back to the city. A good friend of mine is from the Ministry of Industry. I'll invite him over early tomorrow morning and ask him to help organize it." "
Mrs. Cui didn't stop her, she just said, "Hurry up on the road, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed at this time."
"Okay, just wait for my good news." Mr. Wen, who is usually so steady, almost He jumped onto the carriage with joy and quickly ran out of sight.
The villagers were left to have a random bite of dinner, listening to the sound of rushing water. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep well that night.
Jiayin was also crazy with joy, this was a hot spring.
