Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 121 Water
After confirming the location for blasting and surveying it again, Wen Yu went back.
When he left, the villagers behind him looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Why did the county magistrate just leave like that? They didn't even have time to come forward to curry favor with him, as if everything was a farce.
However, early the next morning, people discovered that all the guards armed with swords had withdrawn.
At noon, the Guards appeared again, this time with their horses loaded with supplies.
Although it was impossible to tell exactly what it was, everyone understood that the county magistrate had finally taken action and was probably preparing to blow up the mountain.
However, facing such a huge mountain, what could these dozens of soldiers do? Some people wanted to follow and watch out of curiosity, but were quickly driven back by the guards.
Wen Qun was also full of curiosity about this matter. Jing Yao and Wen Yu were frightened and did not dare to let him get too close.
"Qun Qun, you are not safe here. I am worried." Jing Yao frowned.
He was the one who made the explosive pack, so of course he knew how powerful it was. Even here, at a distance, it was still very noisy and not very safe.
Wen Qun is now a twin, has no experience, and is still learning how to take care of people, so Jing Yao is always worried.
"It's okay, Ayao, don't worry, I won't run around, and besides, I have my elder brother here." Wen Qun held Jing Yao's hand and said coquettishly.
Wen Yu was looked at by Wen Qun's pleading eyes and could only nod in agreement.
Jing Yao could only sigh, touch Wen Qun's head, and let him stand in a safe area.
Wen Yu originally planned to go with them, but considering the need to take care of Wen Qun, he had to stay in the village.
Before Jing Yao went up the mountain, Wen Yu looked serious and cautious. His eyes were as firm as steel, as if telling the people around him that what was to be done next was extremely important. His deep and powerful voice rang out: "The artillery is about to be fired. Send four people to guard the foot of the mountain. No civilians are allowed to enter within half a kilometer."
Hearing this, Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment, then a puzzled look appeared on his face. He thought to himself.
Even now, Zhou Lin still couldn't understand Wen Yu's real intention. He looked at the tools Wen Yu brought with him, which were only two hoes and a heavy piece of iron sheet, and couldn't help but feel that this was a farce. Moreover, they also forbade people to approach. Was it because they were afraid that others would see their miserable appearance?
Zhou Lin thought to himself that it would be a shame if the water could not be successfully diverted. After all, the scale of this operation was so large that the villagers were full of expectations.
Although these villages made a fortune from digging canals and everyone was grateful to Wen Yu, if they failed to achieve their goal in the end, people outside would definitely laugh at them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lin was mentally prepared to make a fool of himself along with Wen Yu.
However, Xiao Ling and others did not show any abnormal emotions. They quickly carried out Wen Yu's orders and passed the instructions to others.
When the elderly, women and children in the village who were unable to do heavy work heard that Wen Yu had already taken action, they all ran out of the village to watch the excitement.
Even the men who were working couldn't help their curiosity and wanted to go and see what was going on, but they were stopped before they reached the foot of the mountain.
Following orders, the four guards set up a cordon with red hemp rope to ensure safety.
Wen Qun clenched his fists and stared at the mountain intently, feeling an irrepressible sense of nervousness in his heart.
Wen Qun noticed his nervousness and patted his shoulder, trying to ease his anxiety.
Village Chief Qian came over and tried to get some information out of Wen Yu, but Wen Yu's mind was all on Wen Qun and he had no time to pay attention to him.
Wen Qun blinked his big eyes, clenched his fists, and said confidently: "This is a solution that Big Brother and A Yao came up with together. They are so smart, they will definitely succeed! When the mountain explodes..."
Although they were asked not to get close, people did not leave. Instead, they gathered at the foot of the mountain and stared at the top of the mountain in silence, their hearts filled with inexplicable tension and a hint of indescribable expectation.
It was because the county magistrate's performance was too realistic that everyone couldn't help but believe that he could really summon a dragon. However, after waiting for more than an hour, there was still no movement on the mountain.
Everyone's mood became complicated, feeling disappointed, empty, and a little uncomfortable. After all, they had wasted a lot of time and had a lot of work to do.
Village chief Qian shook his head helplessly, sighed deeply, and said, "Everyone go back to work first..." Before he finished speaking, a loud "bang" suddenly came from the mountain.
The sound was so loud and deafening, as if it resounded through the sky and exploded in the ears like thunder. Before everyone could react to what happened, the second and third rapid sounds came.
Wen Yu's body shook, and he felt the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking, as if the entire earth was trembling. The tiny stones on the ground also began to jump, as if they were dancing. He quickly grabbed Wen Qun, fearing that he would be frightened.
A few timid people were so frightened that they fell to the ground on the spot, like a piece of gray potatoes sticking out of the ground.
Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes were full of fear, and their bodies were shaking constantly.
At this time, a huge cloud of smoke rose from the mountain, like a huge black dragon rising into the sky. Everyone heard a crackling sound, which was the sound of small stones hitting the ground. These sounds were like dense raindrops, which made people feel scared.
The explosions finally stopped after a while, but after the complete silence, everyone was still stunned, their ears still buzzing. They couldn't understand why there was no movement on the mountain, but the sound was still so loud.
Oh, it turned out that the sound was not coming from the mountain, but their own heartbeats were too intense.
Everyone opened their mouths, feeling dry and thirsty, their faces full of shock, surprise and disbelief. They stared blankly ahead with their eyes wide open, as if time had stopped.
Everyone was so shocked that they were completely speechless. Even someone as knowledgeable as Wen Yu had his heart beating wildly at this moment.
The power of the explosives was so great, and the sound was so loud, it was ten times louder than the fireworks they set off in the village that year!
The loud noise was heard not only by everyone in Sanqiao Village, but also by Xiashi Village and even villages farther away.
People came out of their houses, looked up at the sky, and asked in confusion: "What is that sound? The sky is clear and there is no thunder!"
"What happened?"
"The sound seems to come from Xiaping Village above..."
Someone remembered that the county magistrate was going to Sanqiao Village with the imperial guards today. After looking at each other, everyone suddenly threw away their hoes and ran towards Sanqiao Village.
Jing Yao and Zhou Lin and more than twenty people came down the mountain covered in dust.
He looked embarrassed, but he didn't seem to be injured. Wen Qun walked over as soon as he saw him and asked anxiously, "Ayao, what happened to you? Are you okay?"
Jing Yao shook his head and hugged her tightly in his arms. Ren Yaoyao also rushed over to hug them both. After Wen Qun helped him wipe his face, he let go of Ren Yaoyao, looked into Wen Qun's eyes, and said seriously: "It's okay, there is another wave, and the water will come in a while."
Everyone around him was nervous about his words, feeling both expectant and afraid.
There was another loud noise coming from the front, and everyone looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
As time went by, the blocked river water began to slowly flow into the ditch between the Left Peak and the Middle Peak.
Due to the low terrain, water naturally flows in this direction.
At the corner of the river ahead, a huge reddish-brown torrent carrying yellow soil suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
This torrent poured down from the upstream like a waterfall, splashing water more than three meters high, forming spectacular waves. Then, it rushed towards the people like a huge army.
The water flow is turbulent, overwhelming and unstoppable, as if it wants to swallow everything.
The rumbling sound not only hits the shore, but also shakes the hearts of every viewer.
Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless. Their throats felt like they were being strangled and their entire bodies became stiff.
This amazing sight was deeply imprinted in the memories of many villagers, and even became an unforgettable experience in their lifetime.
When the water of Jiaqing River finally flowed out from the ditches of Zuofeng and Zhongfeng, the surrounding people couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement.
All kinds of enthusiastic voices broke out from the crowd, voices of gratitude, surprise, and disbelief... all intertwined together to form a strange symphony. In the end, all these voices turned into pious kneeling and sincere gratitude.
What their ancestors in Qingyang County have been praying for for generations has finally come true today. This is not just a matter of water, but also their yearning and expectation for a better life.
Whenever Village Chief Qian thinks of this incident, he is moved to tears. His life is worth it, really worth it.
Sanqiao Village had suffered from drought for generations. For so many years, they had been living under the shadow of water shortage. Now, water was finally available! Water was available!!! Water was available! This news made everyone ecstatic, and some even cried with joy.
With water, the fields are no longer dry, and everyone can grow crops, farm, and have enough food. Thinking of this, the villagers' faces were filled with happy smiles.
They seemed to see the hope for the future and the scene of a good harvest. The golden ears of rice, the green vegetable fields, the fertile land... these beautiful scenes instantly filled everyone's hearts, making them full of joy and longing.
On this day, in the county town, the tofu shop opened by Wen Qun was packed with people, and the stone mill in the kitchen was about to produce sparks.
Originally, this piece of tofu was sold for one penny, not with the intention of getting rich, but just to improve people's livelihood.
This shop not only accepts copper coins, but also accepts barter. If you don't have copper coins, you can also exchange eggs for tofu. Villagers often bring eggs to exchange, although the profit is small, but there are many people coming and going.
When such a great thing happened, the people of the entire county changed their views of the county magistrate, and when they heard the news, everyone was happy to show their support.
Moreover, tofu is delicious and can be regarded as a delicacy on the table.
Wen Qun looked at the lively scene in front of him, his heart filled with joy. He knew that the efforts of his elder brother and A Yao had paid off, not only allowing the people to enjoy the benefits, but also making them feel good about his elder brother, the newly appointed county magistrate.
"Husband, look how good our business is!" said the waiter on the side excitedly.
"Yes, I am happy to see so many people like to eat tofu." Wen Qun replied with a smile.
At this time, an old man came over and gave Wen Qun a thumbs up: "Husband, you are such a good person! This tofu is delicious and the price is cheap. We are all very grateful to you!"
Hearing the old man's praise, Wen Qun quickly said modestly: "Old man, you are too kind. This is what we should do. As long as everyone enjoys the meal, I will be satisfied."
As time went by, more and more people came to the store to buy tofu, and even some merchants from other places came to ask if they could buy it wholesale.
Wen Qun realized that this might be a business opportunity, and that he could further expand the scale of production and allow more people to taste the delicious tofu.
After paying the wages to the river construction workers, Wen Yu sent people to count the population in Qingyang County and distribute food rations to households according to the standard of ten kilograms of grain per person to alleviate the famine problem in the city.
This was a time of famine and Wen Yu did not want anyone to starve to death in the area under his jurisdiction.
So he gathered a group of people together, put them in a circle, and motivated and brainwashed them.
First, he adopted a conciliatory strategy, praising them as the elite among the elite and expressing gratitude for their willingness to trust him.
Then, he encouraged everyone, made chicken soup, talked about the future, and told them how to go from having nothing to having everything, and how to build a beautiful home together so that the people can live a happy life, etc.
The people in the village witnessed Wen Yu's words and were deeply moved by them. They were so excited that they burst into tears. Some people even almost hugged his thighs to express their loyalty to the Lord until death.
Even the craftsmen were deeply involved in this "performance".
Wen Yu pretended to wipe away his non-existent tears, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's get started!"
In the evening, several workers received their wages and left the county government office.
"Our county magistrate is a really nice person. He settles all the money every day without any delay."
"The people in the county magistrate's family seem to be very hardworking and don't seem to be living a life of luxury."
"Yes, I heard that the brother-in-law of our county magistrate is a merchant. I thought the one who came would be a fat and corrupt businessman."
Jing Yao transported a lot of corn seeds and potato seeds from Lin'an.
He knew that this place did not have potatoes and corn, both of which are high-yield crops.
Qingyang County now has these two new crops. If we cultivate and plant them now, we will have more food in the autumn harvest and the people will no longer have to worry about going hungry.
