The setting sun slowly sank, the sky began to turn red, and the sun quietly hid at the foot of the mountain.

Dusk is like a naughty boy who secretly drinks some wine, turns red in the face, and then lazily lies down in the mountains to sleep.

Gray Taoist priest came back from setting up a stall in the town and walked into Guanghan Village with a tired look on his face. Guanghan Village is such a simple and friendly place, with a simple atmosphere in every corner.

Gray Taoist's daughter-in-law He was drying clothes in the yard. When she looked up, she saw her father-in-law walking in with a tired face. She hurried forward, took the basket from Gray Taoist's back, and asked with concern: "Dad, you are back... You must have worked hard today."

Gray Taoist put down his backpack, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Why is San'er not at home?"

He looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "The eldest brother of the village chief, Tian Dafang, came back from another place yesterday. I heard he brought a lot of money with him. Today the village chief hired someone to dig a well, and Sanlang went to join in the fun. I think he should be back soon."

The position of village chief of Guanghan Village was not originally held by Mr. Tian, ​​but by the highly respected Mr. Gao. However, a few years ago, the Gao family became prosperous and moved to the county town, leaving the position of village chief vacant.

Later, Mr. Tian's eldest son Tian Yiming earned some money in other places. He not only bought real estate in the town, but also renovated the old house for his family, bought ox carts and land, and even invested in widening the roads in the village.

The villagers were grateful for his kindness and elected Mr. Tian as the new village chief.

Now, the Tian family is going to dig another well. This is a big event in the whole village, and many people go to watch the fun.

When He talked about these things, she couldn't help showing envy on her face. She also hoped that her family could have a well, so that her husband wouldn't have to work hard to fetch water every day, and it would be much more convenient to use water at home.

"I got it. I'll call San'er back too." After saying this, Gray Old Taoist changed into home clothes and went to the village chief's house.

In fact, he also wanted to join in the fun. After all, he and Grandpa Tian were lifelong brothers.

When we arrived at the courtyard of the village chief, we saw that it was very lively. Almost one-third of the village had heard the news and came to watch the grand event of digging a well.

When Tian Dafang saw the old Taoist coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Taoist, you are here. Please come in and have a cup of tea and rest your feet."

Gray Taoist waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I just came to join in the fun. By the way, where is Yiming?"

Tian Dafang pointed at the crowd digging a well and said, "I just saw Yiming squeezed in there."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about me. I'll just take a look."

Gray Taoist priest walked through the crowd, and all the villagers made way for him.

He walked in and greeted people: "Xie Laosan, you are here too."

"Master Dao, you are here too, please come in."

When we arrived at the well-digging site, we saw three well-digging workers busy at work.

Tian Yiming stood aside, sometimes standing on tiptoe to look around, sometimes squatting down to observe carefully. When he saw the old Taoist coming, he smiled and greeted him: "Dad, why are you here too?"

Gray Taoist glared at him and scolded him with a smile: "You can come but I can't?"

He works so hard to make money, just to allow his honest and simple son to get married and carry on the family line.

His son isn't very smart, so most families wouldn't easily marry their daughter to him.

He had already made up his mind that even if he gave more dowry, there would always be someone willing to accept his son.

Unexpectedly, man proposes, God disposes.

He hadn't collected enough money yet when one day, his silly son came running to him excitedly and said that he had fallen in love with a girl from a certain family.

His son asked him to go to the girl's family to propose marriage, and his eyes were filled with pride at that time.

He himself still remembers the expression on his face when he heard his son say he was going to get married. It was one of surprise and joy.

What surprised him even more was that his son actually married such a good wife.

Since she got married, the house has been kept clean every day, and he has hot meals to eat when he comes back from setting up the stall.

When it comes to working in the fields, my son and daughter-in-law work very well together.

Alas, it is true that fools have good fortune!

But with a daughter-in-law, he really doesn't have to worry about household matters anymore.

"Hey, Dad, digging a well is so interesting. Look how skilled those masters are!" Tian Yiming walked up to the gray Taoist priest with a smile, shook his arm, and pointed at the masters who were digging the well.

"You are already thirty years old, why do you keep pulling my arm all day long?" The old Taoist pretended to be angry and shook off his son's hand.

"Dad, you are my dad, if I don't pull your arm, whose arm should I pull?" Tian Yiming looked puzzled and reached out to grab the corner of the old Taoist's clothes.

The villagers around were all amused by Tian Yiming's naive appearance.

Gray Taoist also shook his head helplessly, thinking that the matter of the arm could not be explained clearly.

"Village Chief Tian, ​​the place under your house is too hard. We couldn't dig any deeper after two meters. It feels like there is something hard underneath. We're afraid we can't continue digging. How about we try another place?" Master Liu, who was digging a well, stood up, shook his hands which were numb from the vibration of the well-drilling tools, and said to Village Chief Tian with a depressed look on his face.

"No, the Feng Shui master my son hired said that digging a well in this place can bring wealth." Village Chief Tian said firmly.

"But I can't drill any further here. It seems like there's something blocking it from below." Master Liu felt helpless.

Gray Taoist listened to this, but he felt a little puzzled. If this was a place favored by the Feng Shui master, why was it so difficult to excavate?

He went to the well site and took a closer look, and found that the soil he dug out was mixed with iron filings. He picked up a handful of soil and put it in front of his nose to smell it, and he really smelled the smell of iron filings, mixed with an indescribable stench.

The smell was extremely strange, like the smell of blood, yet also somewhat different.

He was about to open his mouth to raise his doubts when Chief Tian interrupted him.

"It's getting late, Master Liu. You've worked hard today. Go back and rest first. We'll see what to do tomorrow morning."

Master Liu wanted to continue discussing the change of location with Chief Tian, ​​but when he saw his apprentice shaking his head at him, he sighed and did not insist any longer.

"Okay, then we'll go back first. We'll try another tool tomorrow." Master Liu left with his apprentices.

Village chief Tian also sent the villagers home to eat.

"Brother, we haven't had dinner together for a long time. Let's have it at my house tonight. We have some wine at home, so let's have a few drinks!" Village Chief Tian warmly invited Taoist Hui to stay for dinner.
