I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

The next day, Li Chunhua, Li Lan, Li Chunping, and Li Hai headed for a wasteland not far from the farmland. On the way, they met the village chief, who was genuinely curious about the rare find and decided to go along with them to take a look.

When they reached a wasteland 300 meters away from the farmland, Li Lan said to the village chief, "Village chief, does anyone own this wasteland?"

The village chief thought for a moment, then understood and said, "It's okay, you guys can do it. This wasteland belongs to the village."

After listening to this, Li Lan's eyes lit up. He immediately took out the detection line from the orange briefcase and installed it. Then he took out the monitor and connected the detection line. After a while, fluctuating electromagnetic waves appeared on the screen.

Several people looked at what Li Lan took out, all of them were amazed. Li Chunhua saw the electromagnetic waves jumping back and forth on the display screen, with shock in his eyes and a heart full of excitement.

Li Lan, holding a water source detector, slowly checked each spot along the mountain 1000 meters from the farmland. Li Chunhua, watching Li Lan's movements, clenched her fists. The others watched nervously, afraid to make any unnecessary movements for fear of disturbing her detection.

Half an hour later.

"Ding ding ding..."

Hearing the sound of the machine, Li Lan paused and said excitedly, "Village Chief, Dad, Fourth Uncle, Big Brother, we found it."

"Found it?" The village chief asked with a trembling voice, and took a few big strides over.

"Really? Big sister." Li Hai ran over excitedly.

Li Chunping and Li Chunhua looked at each other, excited, and hurried forward.

"My daughter is amazing." Li Chunping puffed out his chest and said proudly.

Li Lan smiled and said, "Of course, it doesn't matter whose daughter she is."

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Under Li Lan's command, Li Chunping and Li Hai dug a large pit at the place where they were detecting the water source as a mark so that the village could gather villagers to dig together when the time came.

Li Lan and his team searched for another three hours, thoroughly investigating the area surrounding the farmland. Finally, they found three water sources. The last two were a bit further away, about 3000 meters from the main farmland. Still, finding four water sources in one day was a remarkable feat.

Several people were overjoyed. Looking at the sky, they estimated that everyone should be finishing their work and going home soon. The village chief said: "I will gather everyone now and tell everyone the good news, and then organize people to dig early tomorrow morning."

Having said that, he turned around and walked quickly towards home with his hands behind his back.

Watching the village chief's hurriedly leaving back, the four of them smiled at each other and walked towards the open space at the south end of the village. It was a place usually used to dry rice and wheat, and it was also where the village held meetings.

"Knock, knock, knock, everyone gather at the open space at the end of the village." The village chief walked, knocking and shouting.

When they heard the sound of the gong, the children ran after it, and the adults slowly came out of their homes and gathered in the open space at the end of the village.

The village chief stood on a low slope beside the clearing, looked at the people standing below, and said loudly: "Gather everyone today, I have exciting news to tell you. We have found a source of water."

"What? We found a water source. Is that true?"

"Water source, I found the water source. Woo woo woo"

"God has finally opened his eyes."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, some people were shocked, some burst into tears, and some clasped their hands together in gratitude to God...

The village chief looked at the happy villagers below and continued, "We've found four water sources in total, and they're all not far from our farmland. How did they find these four water sources? It's because of the selfless Hua Xiaozi from Wang Pozi's family. He used a rare item he stumbled upon to help us find the water sources and open up a way out for our village. Now that the water source has been found, everyone should gather at the farmland south of the village at dawn tomorrow. Each household should send one able-bodied worker to dig a well, and the rest should go to the back mountain to fetch water. Those who don't have enough labor can fetch extra water and boil it for the workers to drink."

"This Chinese guy said there must be a water source if there is one. What if everyone digs and finds nothing in the end? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort? By then, the water in the pool in the back mountain will have dried up. What should we do?" said a villager.

"So what? You're doing nothing but living off those pits out back? What if the pits dry up? Are you all just waiting to die?" the village chief shouted back, his face serious.

After hearing what the village chief said, the villager who asked the question did not say anything and lowered his head dejectedly.

"What the hell? We're asking you to dig before we even know if we'll find water. Uncle Village Chief, if we can't find water, then have Huazi give each of us well diggers 30 wen. How about that?"

Li Lan looked in the direction of the voice.

The village leper, the only child of Old Man Li and Old Lady Zhu, was a sly and lazy person who didn't do his job properly. When he was 20, his family bought him a wife from another village at a high price. The wife, Liu Xiaohua, gave birth to two daughters. Still not satisfied, he beat and scolded his wife and daughters all day long, and followed his mother to call them "sluts and money-losing things."

"Yes, village chief, what the beggar said is right. We can't waste our efforts." Hua Pozi also shouted.

Hua Pozi is the most gossipy woman in the village. There is nothing she doesn't know and nothing she can't stir up.

"What the hell? I'm even paying you. What, you shameless bastard? It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. If you don't want to, just go to the back mountain and fetch water. Your family is not allowed to use the water you dig. Who else has the same idea as him? Old Zhou, I'm asking you now, tell me, do you want to do it too?" The village chief cursed and questioned Old Zhou.

"Village chief, we will definitely do it. How can we count on this woman's words? I will go back and beat her with the sole of my big shoe." Old man Zhou, who was named, glared at Mrs. Hua. Mrs. Hua shrank her neck in fear and dared not speak again.

"Old man Li, are you sure that the beggar is the one who makes the decisions in your family?"

"Village chief, Laizi has always been the one in charge of our family." A short and thin old man replied embarrassedly.

"Uncle village chief, Huazi is good at studying, but it is not necessarily possible to find water by cultivating the land. Don't you agree? If no water is dug out in the end, it will be a waste of time. In my opinion, Huazi should just study hard instead of messing around here." After Laizi finished speaking, he saw that some villagers began to hesitate and felt very proud.

"Okay, now I'll ask if there's anyone else who has the same idea as Laizi?" the village chief asked loudly.

"I think what the beggar said is right."

"Yeah, hey, how can we do this?"

The villagers whispered to each other and no one answered the village chief.

"Fuck you, I'm giving you face, right? My fourth uncle is not only good at studying, but also good at finding water. You don't need to complain here. If your family doesn't want to do it, then don't do it. We are not willing to take you with us to do it." Li Lan shouted at Laizi.

"Village chief, since no one wants to dig a well, forget it, we'll dig it ourselves. In this disaster year, we can't do anything good. Everyone should think about it, my fourth uncle is going to take the imperial examination, and if our family digs out water, no one will use it. It will be unfair to anyone who wants my fourth uncle to help find water in the future. No way." Li Lan said in a firm voice, and then he picked up the wooden stick in his hand, which was as thick as his arm, and pinched it, breaking it into two pieces.

The open space suddenly fell silent, and the beggar who was about to curse shut up awkwardly.

"Tsk tsk, you are born with supernatural powers, awesome. Some troublemakers still have to be dealt with by force." Li Lan said in his heart.

This girl Lan has really changed. It seems that what the Taoist said is true. The village chief was surprised. When he looked at Li Lan again, his eyes had changed.

"Okay, you've heard what Miss Lan said. Think carefully about what's more important. Those who don't want to work now should stand on the south side, and those who don't want to work should stand on the north side. Hurry up, we have to go home and cook." The village chief shouted.

Soon the south side was full of people, and only the beggar's family and a few families who associated with the beggar were left on the north side, a total of six families.

The village chief looked at those families and shook his head.

"Okay, now that the decision has been made, let's do as I said. Now go back and cook, go to bed early, and work hard tomorrow." After saying that, he waved his hand and told everyone to disperse.

When Li Lan and the others were about to go home, Laizi came over.

He sneered at Li Chunhua, "Hey, Master Tongsheng, when did your family let your niece be the head of the family?"
