The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel. He lowered his head and dug for another hour. The pit below was dozens of centimeters deeper. The soil under his feet became even more moist, and water was about to come out.
Looking at the moist soil under his feet, Mou Lin became happier. "Hehe, it seems like there is a way. I really don't believe that water can't be dug out from here. Even if there is water, at least I won't drink the water from the pond, right? The underground water was also better than the water from the ceiling that had been stored in the pond for a long time. If it didn't rain for a few days, and there were fish in the pond, the rice cooked would have a fishy smell and taste terrible.”
While he was digging, a clang sounded, which startled Mou Lin. His hands were numb from the vibration. He quickly picked up the hoe to see if there was a gap. This hoe would be of great use in the future. If it was damaged, he would have to use his hands to dig up more beans.
He picked up the hoe and looked at it carefully. When he found that there was nothing strange on it, he let out a long sigh." Fortunately, the hoe was not damaged."”Her heart calmed down. He didn't have a single cent now. If the hoe was damaged, he didn't have the money to buy a new one. There were many opportunities to use a hoe in the countryside. Without a hoe, a lot of farm work would take a lot more time.
In the following time, Mou Lin had to be much more careful when digging. He could only scrape the soil gently and slowly. He scraped the soil around the stone and threw it out of the pit with his hands. A large slab without edges appeared in front of Mou Lin. This stone slab was different from any other stone slab. It was just that it had not been cleaned too cleanly, and there was still a lot of yellow mud on it. Mou Lin only wanted to get water, so he didn't care too much.
"F * ck, there's really a big rock down there. Uncle Village Chief was right. He just didn't know how thick this big rock was. I think the spring's mouth should be blocked by this big rock. No, I have to go back and get Zhan Zi and the hammer now. I have to break this big rock. I have to get the water out. If it didn't rain for a few days, it would be really difficult. If they wanted to pick clean water to eat, they would have to go down the mountain to pick it. It would take at least a long time to walk. Moreover, picking it was not enough. The amount of water needed for a day was at least two picks. That would delay too much farming time. If he had the time, he might as well use more strength to open this broken stone.”
He crawled out of the pit and ran home. Soon, he brought the hammer and the wand over. With just one hit, Mou Lin's left hand was numb from the shock. There was only a small white dot on the stone." F * ck, what kind of stone is this? Why is it so hard?"
Mou Lin increased his strength a little. With a clang, Mou Lin felt that his whole body wasn't good. Not only was Fu Zhanzi's left hand numb from the shock, but it also had a blood bubble.
"This is really unreasonable. It's not like I haven't played with this hammer before. Why is it so difficult to use it this time?”
He looked at the rock that was hit again." Hmm, not bad. At least a small piece rose this time. I don't believe that I'm not as good as that foolish old man who could move mountains. As long as he opened the stone bit by bit, there would definitely be a spring below.”
With another clang, the blood bubble on Mou Lin's left hand burst, and blood flowed out. He also threw out the paper bag. The drop of blood on his hand fell into the small pit that had just been opened on the stone.
Mou Lin didn't notice where the blood had dripped onto his hand. His eyes, which had been in great pain just now, instantly narrowed. Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care, because it was normal for blood to drip onto the ground. The hand hammer in his right hand fell to the ground, and he only cared about using his right hand to quickly hold his left hand to check the injury form.
"Damn it, I wonder what kind of rock this is. It's too f * cking hard. It was even harder than the large bluestone and water hemp ancient stones (stones that were soaked in water all year round, gray in color, and relatively hard).”
He gently blew on the wound on his left hand to relieve the pain. He took a closer look at the small pit on the stone. "Oh my god, it's only such a small hole. I don't think an electric drill can drill it. No wonder they had to avoid this place when they built the dam in front.
Forget it, it seemed that this was all he could do today. I'll come back tomorrow after a night's rest. I really don't believe that no matter how hard a rock is, it will be harder than a piece of steel. I'll beat you up bit by bit. One day, I'll beat you up. There was obviously water coming out from below. It wasn't like the stone could hold water like Uncle Village Chief said.”
When he got home, he wrapped his hands in a clean cloth and took a shower. He also washed his muddy clothes. He had to wash his clothes. He didn't have many sets of clothes to change into. When washing clothes, one couldn't just wash the muddy clothes in water. It was impossible not to use soap or washing powder.
Once soap or washing powder came into contact with the wound, it was like sprinkling salt on the wound. The pain made people break out in cold sweat. Especially when he rubbed his soaped clothes with more strength, the pain from the wound was even more excruciating. In the past, Mou Lin's mother would definitely do these things, but now he had to do it himself. "Damn, this wound really hurts when it touches soap.”
Gritting her teeth, she washed the clothes and hung them on the rope to dry. It would be late the day after he was done with everything, and his stomach would start to rumble. He quickly ran to the kitchen and made a big bowl of noodles. Now that he was alone, the simpler the meal, the better.
After he had stuffed the bowl of noodles into his stomach and cleaned up the kitchen, he began to doze off.
Mou Lin smiled bitterly." I used to say that my parents slept very early. Now that I'm in charge, I understand that it's not because they want to sleep early. It's because they're tired." After a tiring day, who wouldn't want to go to bed early? Even if there's a TV, you can't watch it."
The Mou Lin family didn't have a television at all. Although he had saved up about 10,000 yuan, his parents were still thinking about his studies. In the past, when he was in primary and junior high school, his tuition fees were completely waived. Moreover, he could even eat a free lunch at school. In a year, he did not need much money from his family.
It was different when Mou Lin started high school. The tuition fees for a semester's worth of books would cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan. Besides, the monthly living expenses were several hundred yuan, and this was all Mou Lin's family could afford. Compared to the children in the town or the city, or those from wealthy families, the living expenses were really nothing in their eyes.
Mou Lin fell into a deep sleep every two minutes as soon as his head touched the pillow. It couldn't be helped. It seemed like he hadn't done much work that day, but he was indeed very tired. Although a 16-year-old boy helped his parents with some farm work on the weekends, it was only a small amount. Moreover, his parents would definitely not let him do heavy work. If he did hard work during the day, he would have no time to study or do homework at night. It was every parent's wish to see their children become successful.
