"A fight has started? Why?" Shen Yuyu wondered.
"Fight for water, you will know if you go and take a look." Shen Yongping said and ran under the big locust tree first, "Hurry up, no one can stop them, and if the fight continues, the water tanker will overturn."
Shen Yuyu hurriedly walked down to the big locust tree. Shadow was responsible for Shen Yuyu's safety. Ji Xun told him that he would not interfere in anything in life and only ensured Shen Yuyu's safety. He was naturally following Shen Yuyu at this moment.
When we came to the foot of the Dagui tree, a water tanker was overturned. A dozen women got into a fight, pulling each other's hair, kicking each other, and cursing.
"Stop." Shen Yuyu yelled angrily after she arrived. Everyone stopped yelling and cursing after hearing her voice. After a stalemate for a while, they gave up one after another and climbed up one by one with help.
"What's going on?" Shen Yuyu's face darkened. It was common for women in the countryside to fight. A group in the west of the village and a group in the east of the village competed for water in the summer and firewood in the winter. They formed cliques at every turn. The fight.
She looked at them one by one and saw that they were indeed two groups, fifteen or sixty-seven women from the east and west of the village. They were now separated on both sides, all of them with dirty heads and dirty faces.
"Girl Shen, listen to me." The person who spoke was the village chief's wife, Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li didn't forget to put up the fallen scarf to cover her ugly face, for fear of scaring Shen Yuyu.
After listening to Li's account, Shen Yue knew the whole story.
The population in the east of the village is much larger than that in the west of the village, but the water delivery vehicles did not consider that much. Half of them stopped at Shaiguping in the east of the village, and the other half stopped under the big locust tree in the west of the village.
There were many people in the east of the village and the water ran out quickly, so they went to fetch water under the big locust tree, but the women in the west of the village stopped them and smashed their buckets, so they got into a fight.
Although Shen Yuyu traveled through time more than a year ago, she still has the memory of the original owner. She knows that there are two groups in the west and the east of the village, and it is the group in the west that is unreasonable.
For example, when there is a drought in the summer, every household urgently needs water to irrigate the rice fields. The water will be cut off in the west of the village upstream, which will cause drought and dry up of the seedlings in the rice fields in the east of the village downstream. Doesn't this mean that the population is cut off? How can people survive without growing food? Can we not fight?
Besides, when it comes to chopping firewood in the winter, the west side of the village dominates the west mountain where there is a lot of firewood. People in the east side are not allowed to cut firewood. If they cut firewood in the west side of the village, they will have to hand over their hatchets. This is still unreasonable.
Shen Yuyu was just about to take this opportunity to kill this disharmony among the people, when the village chief came in a hurry.
"Girl Shen." The village chief glanced at the embarrassed women, "It's not everyone's fault. It's a problem of not enough water. It seems that just transporting water by carriage is not the solution."
After he finished speaking, he added, "The elders in the east of our village don't even have tea. We only give it to the elderly and children, but it's still not enough.'
After listening to the village chief's words, Shen Yuyu no longer had time to pay attention to the issue of fighting in the west and east of the village. Now this is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly and she felt worried.
There are thousands of people in the village, and everyone needs to take a bath three times a day, and it is not enough to take a bath for a day or two to get better.
People with mild symptoms like Mo Suijun had to soak for six or seven days. The villagers had been poisoned for a long time and all were very serious. Many even lost their hair and their bodies were covered with fish scales. This kind of thing would not have to be soaked for more than ten or two days. It will definitely not be cured within ten days.
Where will there be enough water?
Although it has rained in the past few days, winter is not spring after all. The amount of rain cannot even water the soil, let alone purify the water source. Neither well water nor stream water can be used in the village.
After thinking about it, Shen Yuyu said, "Village chief, don't worry, I will find a way to solve this problem." After saying that, he glanced sharply at the women in the west of the village.
"We all have the same ancestors and clan, so don't have too many selfish motives, otherwise~~"
"In the past two days, let the children and the elderly take medicinal baths first. The men will wait until the water problem is solved before it is their turn."
"Did you hear that?" The village chief also glanced at the people in the west of the village with a straight face. The women in the west of the village responded and then dispersed.
The weather was cold, so Shen Yue also asked the village chief and others to go home.
On the way back to the foot of Beishan Mountain, Shen Yuyu kept thinking about how to solve the water source problem.
In modern times, the most common method is to dig channels to divert water, but this is too slow.
The other option is to connect the water pipe, this method should work.
In this era, water pipes were not available, but bamboo could be used instead. She knew that there was a large bamboo forest in a nearby village. Bamboo was not expensive and the distance was not far. It could be completed by hiring more people in two or three days.
The water source is not a problem. There is a large pool in the back hill of the nearby village. It is not difficult to bring water from there.
After making up his mind, Shen Yuyu took action. When he was short of manpower, he went to the town to ask the secret guards for help. He seconded five secret guards to go on separate operations, bought bamboo, and hired people to clear out the lines for bamboo pipes. In fact, it was not far away. A distance of three to four miles.
During the winter season, each village was full of labor and hired dozens of people to work, erecting bamboo pipes length by length.
On the fourth day, water was turned on, and this water was placed directly next to the winery to provide water for brewing when the winery reopened in the future.
Once you have water, you can safely boil the medicine and take a bath. This problem is completely solved.
By this time, the dermatitis on Mo Suijun's body had almost recovered, and it would be cured in a few days. Even the little rabbits were gradually getting better and began to grow white down.
Shen Yue also went to town and purchased a batch of chicken, duck and fish.
The portions purchased were particularly large, including 30 pieces of slaughtered chicken, duck, and fish, and 200 kilograms of pork cut into pieces, ready to be used as bacon. Of course, this included the amount for Uncle Shen’s family.
In addition, he asked the chicken, duck, and fish sellers in the town to bring several carts of chicken, duck, and fish meat to Shenjia Village for sale. Although the villagers are not very wealthy, these are must-buy items during the Chinese New Year, and they are also convenient for those who are sick. Everyone.
Everyone's strange symptoms began to improve, and they no longer avoided Shen Yuyu.
That day, Shen Yuyu went to Uncle Shen's house to visit them with a basket of fruits picked in her pocket. The whole family was sitting in the main room drinking tea and chatting. A carriage entered the village, and someone lifted the curtain and poked his head out. .
"Excuse me, is this Shenjia Village? Do the Night King and Night Princess live here?"
When they heard that they were looking for the Night King and the Night Queen, everyone turned their attention to Shen Yue.
"What are you looking for for the Night King and the Night Queen?" Shen Yue looked over with a calm expression and saw a middle-aged woman with an old appearance, her brows were furrowed and she seemed to have a lot of worries in her heart.
"The civilian woman wants to seek redress of grievances from His Highness the Night King and the Night Princess." The woman looked at Shen Yuyu and her tears rolled down her face. She also asked the girl to be kind and inform her of the residence of the Night Princess.
"What's the injustice? You tell me." Shen Yuyu handed the little nephew in her arms to her second sister-in-law Shen Hui, then got up and walked out of the main room.
The woman saw that Shen Yuyu had a good temperament and good appearance, and took the initiative to ask her what she had wronged. She immediately guessed her identity, stumbled down from the carriage, knelt down towards Shen Yuyu, bang Dong is just a few sounds.
"Princess Ye, I beg Princess Ye to make decisions for the people and redress the grievances of the daughter of the people's wives."
