When he came to the side of the drying dam, he looked around. The paddy field was green and the rice was growing quite well. There was no shortage of water in the fields for the time being. Although the paddy fields were not fully closed, they would be fine after a few more days of sunbathing.
The crops in the fields were not very good. The bigger vegetables were eaten by people who came to help Mou Lin when his parents died. If he really pulled them out and sold them, they would definitely not be noticed by others. Not to mention others, even he himself could not stand it.
"Sigh, you don't know how expensive rice is until you're the head of the family. Only when you're the head of the family do you know how difficult life is.”Mou Lin's mother often said this. At this moment, Mou Lin realized the meaning of this sentence from the bottom of his heart.
Walking down the two steps of the stone ladder, Mou Lin saw a very lush grass about ten meters away from the dam on the right side. This made Mou Lin's eyes light up.
"Isn't this guy too good-looking? The grass in other places was a little wilted by the sun at this time. The grass here is actually shiny. I used to tell my parents that there must be something strange here, but they didn't listen. He even said that this was the top of the mountain. How could there be water?
However, they didn't think about it. Although we live on the top of the mountain, this mountain isn't considered high. It was at most 500 meters, which was quite a distance from the real mountains. The mountain behind the bamboo forest had seven sides of rice. I don't care. I have the final say in this house now. I have to dig this place up and take a look. If there was water, it would definitely be the best thing. Even if there was no water, at most, I would just refill the soil I dug up.”
Behind Mou Lin's house was his family's forest, and behind the forest was a bamboo forest. Behind the bamboo forest was a steep mountain. On the other side of the mountain, there was a very poor village.
After making up his mind, he ran back to the house and took out a hoe and shovel from a small hut where tools were kept. Then, he ran to a place where the grass was growing quite well. The hoes slowly began to dig.
This place was really difficult to dig because the mud was wet, and it was the kind of sticky yellow mud that everyone hated. When the hoe dug down, the mud stuck to the hoe. The soil stuck to the hoe was not easy to remove. He could only place the hoe beside his right foot and lift his right foot to press on the soil before taking the hoe off. However, it was still the same when he dug again.
The digging speed was quite slow, but Mou Lin would do whatever he thought of. If he couldn't even endure this bit of pain, he wouldn't be able to live his life anymore. The big river was not covered, and the big tree had grown branches. Tofu could kill people, and long hair could also hang people who wanted to die. If he wanted to die in an ugly manner, he would definitely be crushed to pieces if he stood on the cliff and closed his eyes and jumped down. No one would be able to recognize the person who jumped off the cliff.
Mou Lin wasn't a person who would admit defeat easily. When the hoe was tired, he would use the shovel. This time, it was a little easier. He placed the shovel there and stepped on it with his foot. The shovel sank into the mud, but he used more strength than a hoe to get the wet soil out.
Her hands and waist began to ache. She could only put down her tools and sit at the side to rest. Looking at the small pit in front of him, he said," Damn it, I don't believe that I can dig this out. Dad and Mom spent two years to build a drying dam. The grass was growing so well, and the mud that was dug up contained a lot of water. There must be a spring below. As long as the spring was dug out, the mountaintop would no longer lack water. There are terraced fields at the foot of the mountain. Only the top of the mountain where my family lives is flat. If there was a spring, it was entirely possible to build a place like Jiangnan Garden. "When the time comes, I'll go to the forest to collect stones and surround the surroundings to build a stone door. If anyone wants to enter, they'll definitely have to ask for my permission. Also, if he used stones to surround the surroundings, he would no longer have to worry about soil erosion.”
The soil and water would no longer be lost, and the manure on the ground would no longer be lost. This was a good way to kill two birds with one stone, but it would take a lot of effort.
After resting for a while, he felt that he had recovered. He stood up and picked up the hoe to continue digging. However, after digging a few hoes, he could not take it anymore. "It seems that using a big hoe to dig is really not a solution. I have to go back and get some hoes to dig. That way, it will definitely be much easier.”
The pickaxe was very small and light. Although he couldn't dig out a lot of dead yellow mud at once, it would be a lot faster for him. The amount of soil dug out might be more than that with a big hoe.
He went back and brought the hoe over. This time, he was indeed much more relaxed. However, with each hoe, the soil dug up was much less. He was not that tired anymore. As long as he continued digging like this, he would definitely be able to dig up a lot of soil today.
An hour later, Mou Lin couldn't be looked at anymore. He had become a typical clay figurine. His head, body, and clothes were covered in mud. However, the harvest was also quite large. The hole he dug was about one meter wide.
"Mou Lin, Mou Lin, are you there?"
A familiar voice came from the distance. Mou Lin stood up and looked at the source of the voice." It's Village Chief. I'm here. What's the matter?"”
The village chief saw Mou Lin from afar and quickly walked over." What are you doing?”
"Hehe, Uncle Village Chief, I see that the soil here is wet all year round. Moreover, the grass in this small piece of land grows quite well. I was wondering if there was water coming out from below. Anyway, he had nothing to do now, so he started digging.”
The village chief was a bit surprised. He knew very well where Mou Lin had dug. There was a very big stone under the soil. The front edge of the stone reached the pond, and the sides extended to the two sides of the mountain top. Moreover, the stone was quite hard. Even a Zhan Zi could not move it.
"Kid, why did you waste your martial arts? If there was water here, your mother would have dug it out long ago. Let me tell you, when the village built the weir pond in the past, they also dug here. In the end, guess what? There was an unimaginably huge rock below. It was impossible to dig it up. If the soil is wet, it's very likely that the big rock below can hold water, so the soil in this small area is wet. I say, get up, kid. Hurry up and wash up. We still have serious matters to discuss with you.”
Mou Lin quickly dropped his tools and climbed out of the pit." Village chief, just say it. I'm listening. If you wash now, you'll be covered in mud when you come back later."”Mou Lin automatically ignored the first half of the village chief's words. He didn't want to give up on the idea in his heart.
