"What are you thinking about?"

Ye Tan discovered that this kid had started to act bad recently and dared to say anything to anyone.

"But why are you doing this inedible thing and adding herbal medicine?" Li Chengqian doesn't know much about other things except reading, so his thinking is a bit distorted.

"You will know this later. Now, why don't you go to work? Do you want to be lazy? If you are really lazy, I will let you eat this thing tomorrow."

As soon as Ye Tan finished speaking, he disappeared. I will kill you if I don't eat this thing.

Ye Tan chuckled, sometimes, you can't eat these things without eating them.

When are people happiest? It must be when they go out and have work to do and when they come back, they have food to eat, and they don’t need to do it themselves. In the past, Ye Tan remembers that he liked to go out and play the most, and then he was scolded by his parents when he came back, and then

Eating the best food left by my parents. Although the environment at home was not good at that time, there were still things to eat, drink and have fun. Maybe just a little bit of leek and tofu could make me happy.

Although Li Sanli is now the village chief, he still has to go out and work with everyone. Although this kind of thing may not seem like a big deal, if you really can't do it, the consequences will be very serious.

In the past, people's eyes could only see things within five miles, so their opinions on many things also only had this wide range of views, and the people around you were often the ones who made you uneasy, so Li Sanli needed to always

Follow.

The sun once again hangs on the branches in the west, and the hot weather is no longer so exciting. Occasionally, there is a breeze blowing, and wild flowers rise under the grass. Some people who like these things will pick some to take home for themselves.

Women, this is what people who are full of food do, and it is also what these people have been working hard for thousands of years and still cannot accomplish.

Although there is not much water, the branches are still not dead, because these people don't eat the bark anymore, and many branches are beginning to release their green color without restraint, and then pull out the branches and leaves, exuding what should be in this season.

Although many rivers in Jinzhou have stopped flowing, there is still one river called Mun River that still has water. However, it was too far from Lijiazhuang in the past, and no one had the time to do it because there was not so much time.

and energy to do it, because people who are not full want to find more food.

But now, after these few days of construction, almost all the houses in the village have been completed. Because they are all wooden structures, people with full stomachs are strong, and no one dares to do other things, because this is

It's not allowed. Even Xie Feng sometimes feels that Ye Tan is forcing him too hard, but he doesn't care and just does it.

Because in the face of disasters, people are often just tools. If you don't use them at this time, something will happen easily.

The dinner was still very sumptuous, but the few people in charge seemed to have no appetite, because the food in the warehouse was only enough for one and a half days, if not more, the people brought by Xie Feng these days could only eat the dry food.

I want to bury a pot to make rice, but I'm sorry, there is no food.

Although these farmers are eating well, they are not envious, because everyone knows that they are dry food and can continue to eat it, and these people are like death row prisoners on the execution ground, maybe just one meal.

The sunset at night disappeared at a certain moment, and Xie Feng was sitting there reading some documents, because although Jinzhou is not big, there is more than just Lijia Village. In the past few days, he has sent many people to check the disaster situation.

, although he knew it before, but he hoped those people could save themselves, but the effect was not good.

Now he wished that there would be more bandits like Ye Tan and kill all the wealthy families in Jinzhou.

Unfortunately, he knew it was impossible.

Because he had already asked Li Sanli, everything was just a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding is an inevitable matter, but those people are also the people under their own rule. The farmers in front of them are well fed and look good, while people in other places may have starved to death.

It's a pile.

They had a very simple dinner, but Li Sanli brought some bad news, that is, the Menhe River seemed to be a lot shallower. If this continues, even if there is food, it will be very troublesome. No

Water, those crops that are still waiting for water in the fields will die of thirst. If this is the case, what will they eat in winter?

There is always a way to get through summer no matter what, because there are more living things, and in winter, everyone needs something to survive the winter, not just people, but also animals and plants. There are not many fruits on the mountains, and you will be hungry by then

Coupled with the cold, it would be impossible not to die.

"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, let's talk about other things." Ye Tan couldn't understand, so he stopped thinking about it and directly invited everyone to eat. But tonight, everyone just drank a little rice porridge and half a flatbread, and nothing else.

Didn't eat.

After the meal, Mo Xiaoyu cleared the table and served a pot of tea. This was Ye Tan's habit. He would drink tea whenever he had free time, and the water also came from a well on Li Dalu.

People always feel much better when drinking tea, but Xie Feng couldn't calm down to drink tea today no matter what. He just drank a few sips and then let it go.

"Li Sanli, have you looked at the upper reaches of the Menhe River?" Ye Tan thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Then a river is just gone. Moreover, it was strange that there was water in this river in the first place."

"I don't know the upper reaches. I just walked a little way and it's gone. I can't see anything." Li Sanli's words are equivalent to not saying what you mean by this.

In Jinzhou, there is actually very little surface water. There is only water passing through the Hutuo River and Seokjin Main Canal. There seems to be some hot springs and the like, but how can that thing irrigate the land?

And this Menhe may be the name of the locals. If it is not easy to get it, maybe there is only one thing you can eat here, and that is Yali.

It is said that the Yali here is the best in China, and it is also the hometown of Wei Zheng. But looking at his poor appearance, you can tell that the humanities here are probably not very good.

Moreover, Ye Tan remembered that the groundwater here is not rich, otherwise, it would not be like this. The weather here is the most terrible. If possible, he even wants everyone to move away, because there is little rain in summer.

, there are not many snowflakes in winter, what does this mean?

"Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow. It won't work without water." Ye Tan thought for a moment and came to a conclusion, and Li Chengqian asked directly, "Brother, there is not enough food to eat now, what should I do?

?”

"If there is still no food tomorrow, let Li Chongxin and others cook for me." After Ye Tan finished speaking, he turned and left, and only then did the remaining few people remember how ruthless this man was.

After eating, it was time to sleep, and Li Chongxin didn't want to run away now, because he found that it was not bad to work like this without thinking about anything, but there was no freedom. Every time they took a break after eating, they would always

There will be a few people following me.

However, he was destined to not be able to sleep tonight, because the boy came over and told him that if there was no food tomorrow, he would cook himself.

This sentence is what everyone is afraid of, and it is a fear that it will come true.

Therefore, not only him, but also Tian Ning and Xie Daokun didn't sleep that night, worried that when they got up early tomorrow morning, they would become the meat in the pot.

It was still a sunny day the next day. The sun was good. Looking at the surrounding scenery and breathing the warm air, Ye Tan ate a lot. He was mainly worried that he might have to work hard today, and the same was true for several other people. Later he called

About thirty stronger people, holding newly made shovels and other items in their hands, followed Ye Tan and others out of Lijiazhuang.

Although they left here, others did not dare to act recklessly. What if they came back?

When the group of people left the village, Li Chengqian actually felt like a trapped dragon emerging from its cage. He had been stuck in the village for the past few days, and he felt very bored.

The other people didn't seem to have much reaction on their expressions, but followed Li Sanli and walked towards Menhe.

After walking for almost thirty miles, I saw a huge mound with trees on it and weeds growing around it. At a glance, I knew that there was still some water here.

However, there should not be many, because the few trees are not big.

Ye Tan pulled the horse, looked at it, and then dismounted. The others also dismounted.

The big mound looks like a duck's head, and behind it are some strange mountains covered with short trees and weeds.

After he crossed here, he saw this huge river.

It is said to be huge because it is compared to the stream that Ye Tan saw in Lijia Village before. It is only three to five meters wide, and the water below is just up to your ankles. The water quality is clear, but such clarity makes people feel chilled.

, because what can this little water do?

The farmers who followed seemed to know what they were going to do, and their expressions changed. They knew that without water, there would be no food. They knew it themselves without anyone else telling them.

"It seems there is really no water." Xie Feng went down to the river bank, stretched out his hand to grab some water, and couldn't help but say.

"It's just that the water is so cool." Li Chengqian didn't give up and followed him down. There were still quite a lot of foxtail grass on the ground. Unfortunately, this thing was inedible.

Ye Tan was looking around with a frown. He really didn't find the so-called place where the water veins could be seen. When he was lowering his head and thinking, he suddenly heard Li Chengqian's words and couldn't help but raise his head and said, "What did you say?"

Seeing Ye Tan's appearance like an enraged lion, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother, I said the water is so cold."

"The water is so cold, the water is so cold, the water is so cold..." Ye Tan kept repeating this sentence. How could the water be so cold in such weather? It would be understandable if the water under the shade of the trees was very cold.

, but here is the open air. When I came here, the sun was shining on the water. Although water has no backbone, it is really hot when it is hot, and it is hot when it is cold.

cold.

Because of this, it won’t get cold easily.

Thinking of something, he suddenly smiled and ran to the bank of the river. He stretched out his hand to touch the water. The water under the sun was really beautiful, very beautiful. Although it was not big, when he put his hand into it, he found that it was really beautiful.

It's cool, very cool, as if it's been chilled.

"how can that be possible?"

Ye Tan suddenly stood up and looked at the direction of the river. He couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that this world is really an endless path.

"Let's go." Ye Tan did not ride a horse at all, but led everyone to walk towards the source of the river.

The other people looked at each other and didn't understand why he did this, but now they had no other choice but to follow Ye Tan forward.

Soon, they saw a bamboo forest. Bamboo, something that can survive as long as there is a little moisture, was still a big one. Ye Tan pointed at a dozen of those people and said, "You guys can chop bamboo here.

Then weave baskets, the bigger the better.”

Xie Feng and others had no objections, and the farmers had no objections even more, so some people stayed behind.

Then he continued to walk forward, and there was a turn. Sure enough, the water flow there was larger, but the slopes on both sides were not high enough. Ye Tan pointed to the silt road below, "You dug this place out."

Someone soon did this, but unfortunately, even so, there was still not much water flow, and Ye Tan seemed to be getting more and more excited because he felt the water vapor around him.

Continuing to walk forward, after walking for almost ten miles, I finally saw a huge stone with weeds on it, and the water flow came from here.

Maybe it's because the water source here is more abundant, so the surrounding vegetation is very lush.

"Clean up all the vegetation here." Ye Tan pointed at the small trees and other objects and said, and then someone started to clean them up.

Ye Tan jumped directly onto the huge stone and took a look, but did not find any water flow behind it, which further verified his idea.
