Chapter 7 Faucet

After feeding the rooster and the scorpion, Cai Hongming went to have a meal.

Without any surprise, several old men had finished eating. The third master had already gone to herd sheep, and the fifth master had gone to the ground. The eighth master had nothing to do recently. He lay leisurely on the rocking chair at the door listening to the radio, while Uncle Fu took the broom and swept the floor seriously. This was his daily homework.

He was doing everything at the door of several households in the village, including raising chickens and feeding ducks, cooking and cooking. He was just a little stupid, otherwise he would be a very diligent person.

After dinner, Cai Hongming walked around the village, and soon came to the farmland that Wu Ye had cultivated.

In fact, the elderly in the village don’t have to do anything at all. They can receive hundreds of yuan in pension money from the government every month, and there are condolence money during festivals, and there are pocket money given by the younger generation. They live a carefree life. But the elderly are used to being busy, and when they are free, they feel that something is wrong with their whole body. Besides, the elderly also have a temper, and feel that they are waiting for others to give alms. They are very hurt in their hearts and are very challenged in their self-esteem. So they do it themselves.

If you spend your own money, your back is at least hard, and your words are strong, you can show your face to others without having to give them the same bad feeling as if you were scolded for your own money.

Hachigong showed people Feng Shui and was very famous around him. Every time he drove over to invite him, he had hundreds of red envelopes and was amazing in his wealth.

The fifth master's income is quite high every year; the third master's income is relatively small, but he also saves some old capital. Even Uncle Sha Fu is not a simple person, and he can sell the poultry he raises at least tens of thousands of yuan every year. The most important thing is that they always earn money, unlike him who spend it randomly, and he can't spend a few cents all year round. Speaking of which, he is a poor man, which is sad!

The wheat in the fields grows green and has a gratifying growth, and it seems to be a good harvest again.

After walking through the wheat field and coming to the second defense line, I saw the fifth master digging a hole in the field.

The old man had a problem. When he saw the good land, he wanted to plant all things. Recently, he planned to clean up the land and plant the sweet potatoes he brought from southern Fujian next year. As for whether to sell them after planting them, he had never considered it at all. Anyway, if you can sell them, you can sell them. If you can't sell them, you can eat them yourself. Otherwise, it's okay to feed Uncle Shafu, but it won't be useless anyway.

Cai Hongming asked people to send sweet potatoes from southern Fujian to be a special variety and tasted very sweet, and there was no one on the market.

Eating that sweet potato is almost the same as eating sugar. It is sweet, very sweet, very sweet, and particularly sweet. If you boil it in water for a longer time, there will be a layer of sticky syrup in the pot in the end. However, that sweetness is not the dead sweetness of white sugar, but the sweetness of the plants, which is extremely delicious.

"Fifth Master, what are you doing?" Cai Hongming walked to the fifth Master and asked.

"Dig a hole to save water." The fifth master responded without looking back.

“Didn’t I buy you a water pump?”

"That doesn't cost electricity? I'll dig a hole here, a hole over there, and dig a few holes to store snow and water. It will be enough next year. Can I use a water pump?" said the fifth master.

Cai Hongming smacked his lips, but didn't know what to say. The old man was used to being poor, so everything was based on saving money. If he hadn't bought a rice harvester to help him cut when planting rice, he would probably have finished cutting the dozen acres of rice alone. He would have used his own hoe to slowly make it. In the end, he couldn't stand it, so he bought a hand-held tillage machine to help him plow.

With modern machinery, it is really much easier to help with work. The elderly are slowly changing their concepts. Now they have learned to use them. However, they occasionally become stupid and make people smile bitterly. For example, now, if there is no need for a water pump, he just wants to dig a water hole, so people don’t know what to say.

"Fifth Master, don't be so troublesome. You just need to use a water pump when you want to water it. Next year I will buy you an automatic water spray belt. Just put the water belt in the field and you can automatically spray water. You don't have to do it yourself, just watch it from the side."

"That's not expensive! No, no, no." The fifth master said, burying his head and continuing to dig a hole.

Without any help, Cai Hongming had to go home and come to help dig, otherwise he could dig from morning to night until all the water holes were dug. By then, his old bones would have to be ruined.

This land used to be farmland. Although there was sand on it, there was fertile soil below it. It was easy to dig, and one pit could be done in an hour. After digging for a while, Ah Fu also came to help with a shovel. The few people quickly dug three pits. In the end, he simply asked everyone to dig one by one, and the speed was faster.

After lunch, they took a break and the three of them continued to dig holes.

Cai Hongming was digging slowly, but he was not very tired. After digging for two meters, he suddenly heard a "shuh" sound from below, as if he had dug something.

Could it be an antique? When he thought of this, his mind suddenly became alive, and his eyes flashed with light.

It is rumored that there are ancient tombs underground in Shaanxi, and there will be treasures as soon as you dig it down. However, the place is full of yellow sand. Where is there any good thing underneath? Is it a dead bone?

Cai Hongming picked up the shovel and dug it down carefully. After digging a few times, two bones were exposed below. After looking at it, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

This is obviously not a human bone, but it looks like antlers, but not antlers. There are no deer antlers as thick as calves. Digging down further reveals a very large skull, about three meters in size. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a deer head, but it looks a bit like the legendary dragon skull.

Is it really the legendary dragon?

For a moment, Cai Hongming was furious and quickly picked up his mobile phone to take a photo, then he wanted to continue digging to see if he had a body. If he had a body, he would be a legendary dragon, which was big news.

Suddenly, he saw something in his mouth that looked like a dragon head. After a closer look, it turned out to be a lump of soil.

He took out the lumps of soil from the dragon's mouth and knocked it with a shovel. The lumps on it fell off one after another, revealing a rusty iron lump inside. The iron lumps were rusty and there was no sign of what it was. He put the lumps aside first, intending to continue digging to see if there was any dragon's body. At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently.

He almost fell down after staggering.

The earthquake occurred. Cai Hongming didn't dare to stay in the pit anymore and quickly climbed out of the pit. When he got outside, he found that the sky was clear and the air was clear and cloudless. The fifth master and Uncle Sha Fu were still digging the pit there, so there was no earthquake.

Cai Hongming felt strange and ran to ask Wu Master: "Fifth Master, there was no earthquake just now."

"I don't feel it." The fifth master shook his head.

He ran to Afu again, "Uncle Fu, there was no earthquake just now."

"No...no."

That was strange. Could it be that it was his own illusion that Cai Hongming thought strangely, and then ran back to the pit he dug. Suddenly, he saw that the dragon head in the pit was missing, leaving only white and pink. What's going on? Cai Hongming couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he had to give up.

After digging the pit and returning home, Cai Hongming took out the piece of iron lump dug from the ground and washed it by the well. After washing for a long time, he saw that the iron lump was still rusty, so he took it to the kitchen.
