Chapter 677： Dig a pit to store water

Father Han nodded and said, "I know this, everyone is not the same!"

"Father, our family doesn't have a harvest this year, and we don't have any savings. Don't you want to flee the famine?"

"What are you afraid of, there are not many rich families in the village, and they all count on this season's rice."

While the two of them were chatting, other men in the village were just like them, standing on the ridge with some sighs.

"We have to think about it, there is no way to go on like this!" Someone suggested.

"Is there any way, there is no water in this ditch, it's all mud."

"Let's dig up the mud and dig the small ditch deep enough to store water in one night!"

A few men felt good when they heard this proposal.

There is still a little wet mud in the ditch, indicating that there must be water below. It is possible to dig a hole to store water.

Everyone said, and began to dig with shovels.

The farmland of the villagers is mostly owned by the landlord's family. Each family has only a few acres, and they are basically next to each other. Therefore, it is necessary to dig a deep hole in the ditch of their own fields to store water.

Father Han was about to pick up a shovel to dig, but was persuaded by the fifth member of the Han family, "Father, you are not well, I can just go down and dig."

Father Han shook his head and said, "Let's dig a little faster."

"Dad, dig in the mud, you'll get your clothes dirty later."

"When it gets dirty, it gets dirty, and it's done when you go back and wash it. You don't know when you will dig by yourself. Let's dig a little deeper. Store a little more water."

"Okay, Dad, let's dig together. If you can't dig, don't be brave!"

"Okay!" Father Han nodded, picked up the shovel, went into the ditch, and started digging.

The ditch was filled with thin mud, and the two dug into the evening, and finally dug a big hole. It is estimated that after one night, a lot of water can be stored.

I have been irrigated with this water, and by that time, at least some more grain can be harvested.

The two were already covered in mud.

"Fifth, it would be great if your second brother had half of you. There is no water in the drought right now, so we have to take care of pumping water for him."

"Father, we are a family, don't talk about it!"

"Alas, good!"

The fifth of the Han family first went up the field from the ditch, and when he was about to pull Father Han on his body, Father Han's head was dizzy, and one of them didn't stand up and fell directly into the ditch.

"Father, father, what's the matter with you?" The fifth Han family jumped down the ditch with a nervous expression and helped Father Han up.

"I guess I kept my head down just now. When I looked up, it was dark in front of me!" Father Han said weakly.

"Father, I said I won't let you dig, look at you!" The fifth Han family muttered.

Father Han sighed and shook his head, alas, when you are old, you can't do anything just a little bit.

"Father, let me help you go back!" said the fifth elder of the Han family.

The fifth member of the Han family spent a lot of effort, and finally pulled Father Han up from the ditch.

"Father, slow down."

"well!"

After sending Father Han back, Father Han's health got worse. The fifth brother of the Han family quickly put Father Han on the bed to lie down.

"Father, are you all right?" The fifth Han family asked nervously.

"Water, give me a glass of water!"

"Okay!" The fifth member of the Han family hurriedly gave Father Han a cup.

After drinking the herbal tea, Father Han's body slowed down and felt a little more comfortable.
