After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

The ground was indeed very slippery. There was a layer of something like mud on the surface, which was very slippery to step on.

Everyone walked forward carefully with torches. The further they went in, the wetter and slipperier the ground became, and the more frequent the sound of water.

After walking about ten feet, a villager pointed ahead and shouted in surprise, "Look..."

There was no need to shout, as the others had already seen it. There was a pool of water in front of them, with a stream of water bigger than a bowl rushing down from above.

Seeing such a huge stream of water, Zhao Guoliang and the villagers were extremely happy.

Such a large amount of water is not only enough for drinking, but if it is diverted out, it can also be used to irrigate the fields.

Everyone walked quickly to the edge of the pool, scooped up water with their hands and drank it to their heart's content.

They were very thirsty today. We gave them water when we served them lunch and dinner, but it was not enough for them to drink.

After filling their stomachs with water, they used torches to carefully illuminate the surroundings. They saw a gap outside the pool, and outside the gap was a bottomless hole.

They also saw that the water that had previously flowed out of the cave had come from the pool, but now there was not enough water in the pool to flow out.

Zhao Guoliang said, "Everyone, get to work and block the gap. Then dig this side lower and divert the water out."

Everyone started to move. Zhang Hulan reminded them, "It's a bit dangerous outside. Those who are blocking the gap should tie the rope around their waists."

Zhao Guoliang nodded immediately, "That's right, you must pay attention to safety, if you fall it will be the end of you."

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the twenty or so people who entered the cave dug for more than an hour and finally dug the water diversion ditch.

They brought stones to block the gap in the pool, and then filled it with soil. Finally, they dug through the gap on the ditch side, and the water from the pool began to flow towards the cave.

There were people guarding outside, and when they saw water flowing out, they were very happy.

The people inside were also coming out with water flowing, and they had to crawl out on the ground outside, so their bodies were all wet.

The water began to flow down the mountain along the ditch. Some villagers shouted happily: "With such heavy water, the millet in the fields can be saved."

Zhao Guoliang heaved a sigh of relief. "Let's go back. We've been tired all day. Let's go back and have a good sleep first."

The group began to go down the mountain. The water was moving faster than they were. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the water had already flowed out of the ditch.

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Village Head, we need to quickly block the big ditch down there and divert all the water into the fields. We also need to cut some bamboo, break through the joints, and build a scaffolding a little higher up to divert the water into the village."

Zhao Guoliang ordered, "Go to the village and call everyone over."

Some villagers immediately ran back to the village and shouted as soon as they entered the village:

"Hurry up, there's water..."

"Hurry up, there's water..."

There was a commotion in every household. Some villagers opened their doors and asked loudly, "Has the water been diverted?"

"Is the water big?"

"Not only is there water for drinking, but there's also water for irrigating the fields."

"Hurry to the big ditch. Li is waiting there. Remember to bring your hoe and hatchet."

The villagers were excited, and everyone who could walk started running towards the ditch, grabbing their hoes.

Wang stopped the villager who had returned to report the incident and asked, "Where are our Dajun and Danier? Are they alright?"

"It's okay, they're all over the big ditch."

Hearing that her son and daughter were fine, Wang felt relieved. She had been worried all day yesterday and couldn't sleep at night.

Li said, "Mother, let's go quickly. Now we have water to irrigate the fields, and the millet in the fields can be saved."

Wang and Li immediately took their hoes and headed towards the big ditch.

"Grandma, we want to go too."

Daya, the other two, and Zhang Dahua also followed, leaving Old Man Zhang alone at home.

Wang found Zhang Hulan and the others, and San Ya immediately ran forward and hugged Zhang Hulan's legs, "Mother..."

Da Ya and Er Ya also walked up to Zhang Hulan.

Zhang Hulan squatted down, touched Sanya's face, and then touched Daya and Erya, "Why are you all here?"

Sanya said, "Without mommy here, none of us can sleep."

"Oh, Mom, your clothes are all wet..."

"It's okay, Mom will go back and change in a while."

All the villagers arrived at the big ditch. Zhao Guoliang had already blocked half of it, and the rest was left to the villagers who came later.

Zhao Guoliang shouted, "First, block the big ditch to prevent the water from escaping. This water is diverted from the fields above, and the fields above are not allowed to block the gap. If anyone blocks the gap in their own fields, don't blame me for being rude."

A villager asked, "Village head, have the fields of those who left been watered?"

Zhao Guoliang said, "Don't worry about them for now, let's fill our fields with water first."

"it is good."

The villagers all felt that this was the right thing to do. They had left and had not contributed any effort, so why should they irrigate their fields?

Zhao Guoliang continued to order: "Send a few people to cut bamboo and build a scaffold to bring water to the village. We can't keep fetching water from the big ditch."

Zhao Guoliang looked at the crowd and shouted, "Yonggui..."

"I'm here, Village Chief."

"I'll leave this place in your care. We're tired after a day, so we need to go back and get some sleep."

Liu Yonggui immediately said, "Leader, go back and have some rest. Leave this to me."

Zhao Guoliang nodded, then warned, "Don't grab the water. There are fewer people in the village now, and there is enough water. Don't grab it."

The villagers all assured, "Don't worry, headman, we won't rob you. Go back and rest."

Everyone who had gone up the mountain went back to rest. Zhang Hulan went home, changed her clothes, and fell asleep. She couldn't take a shower anymore; she had to wait for the water from the ditch to be brought in.

Wang quickly called out, "Daniel, I'll cook right away. You guys eat before you go to sleep."

"Forget it, Mom. I'll sleep for a while first."

Old Man Zhang asked from the inner room, "Dajun, how much water is there? Is it really enough to irrigate the fields?"

"Don't worry, Dad. The water is thicker than the mouth of a bowl. It keeps flowing and will never run out."

"That's good, that's good. There is always a way out. God still has eyes."

Zhang Hujun didn't sleep. He went to the fields to check the water.

Work hard all day and all night, so that your fields don’t run out of water.

When she woke up, it was already noon. Zhang Hulan turned her head and saw San Ya lying next to her and sleeping soundly.

Zhang Hulan got up quietly without waking San Ya.

Outside, Daya, Erya and Zhang Dahua were picking wild vegetables together.

"Mom, you're awake!"

"Where are your grandmother and the others?"

"Grandma and my uncle and aunt have all gone to the fields."

Zhang Dahua said, "Auntie, are you hungry? The rice is cooked in the pot. Eat it first if you are hungry."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, waiting for grandma and the others to come back."

"Then let's wait until they come back before eating."

Zhang Hulan said this and went out to see what the water in the fields was like.
