Chapter 43 Qingquan(1/2)
Zhong Kui left, but Li Jing's mood couldn't calm down for a long time. The water in the Stories from a Chinese Studio is too deep!
In this way, I used to be a bit observing the sky.
Because he had something in his mind, Li Jing took a few officers to the streets as soon as he finished breakfast.
Because the sun has not completely jumped out of the ground, there are not too many people on the street.
Sparse!
However, whether it is a local or an outside businessman, he smiles and bows his hands when he sees him.
Li Jing was not arrogant, and nodded to everyone.
When I arrived at the city gate, for some reason, there were suddenly more people.
Strangely, both of them were mainly female holding cans, and Li Jing couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it.
In the end, I couldn't help but be curious and asked with a smile: "It's not yet bright!"
"Why do these women leave the city with jars?"
Hearing Li Jing’s inquiry, someone else hurried forward and whispered: “Sir!”
"You are not a native of Jiangdu."
"So it's not too clear."
"This Jiangdu is located in the Gobi desert, and the water source is the most precious."
"If local people want to drink water, they must draw from a small river several miles away!"
"These women all went to get water!"
Hearing this, the people next to him couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"
"That's right!"
"Because the distance to get water is long, it is very inconvenient to get water!"
"And Jiangdu is hot, and there is too much water day and night."
"Most men in Jiangdu will marry several wives!"
"Every morning, these wives will get water together."
"Only in this way can we ensure that the whole family can use it."
Hearing the explanation, Li Jing couldn't help but look up and asked in surprise: "Marry multiple wives just to get water?"
Others nodded and replied:
"The adults are inland!"
"Of course I don't understand the pain!"
"Although it's a bit unbelievable!"
"But, in fact, it is indeed the case."
...
"this!"
Listening to the man's affirmative answer, Li Jing couldn't help but feel speechless.
In other regions, the purpose of choosing a wife is to pass on the family line and to be in love with each other.
It's good here, it's just to get water!
Why not dig a well if you spend so much effort to get married?
Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help asking:
"Since the water is far away, the road is difficult and dangerous!"
"Then why not dig a well in the city to get water?"
Listen to Li Jing’s questions.
Others couldn't help but smile bitterly and returned: "Sir!"
"Don't I want to wait?"
"But, this Jiangdu is located in the Gobi Desert!"
"A hundred feet underground are all yellow sand!"
"The previous chiefs also ordered people to dig wells, but when they went deep into the ground, there was no water left except yellow sand, and there was no water available!"
"It is precisely because of this that everyone has given up long ago!"
Hearing the man's words, Li Jing said with disbelief: "Wu Shui is desirable?"
"How is this possible?"
"If there is no water!?"
"How can trees, flowers and plants in this city survive?"
"this!"
When he heard Li Jing's words, the man couldn't help but speak in a mess. He didn't know how to explain.
However, he still didn't believe it!
If there is really water!
Why do you have to go to the river several miles away to lift water?
As if he saw the man’s thoughts, Li Jing didn’t explain, but just led everyone to the small hills north of the city.
"grown ups!"
"What are you?"
Seeing that Li Jing suddenly changed his itinerary, the person who followed him couldn't help asking:
"Looking for water!"
Li Jing raised his head and said solemnly with his face.
Although everyone did not believe it, they could only follow it.
About half an hour later, everyone came to the hill in the north.
This mountain is worse than a hill, because it is less than a hundred meters from the highest point of the mountain to the ground.
Because the weather is hot and the rain is sparse, the plants and trees on the mountain have withered and turned yellow, and some even lie on the ground.
There is a depressed scenery everywhere.
Li Jing didn't care either, so he drew out his sword and cut off all the thorns and the like. He took a big step forward.
"grown ups!"
"This mountain has been abandoned for a long time!"
"I'm afraid there are poisonous insects and wild beasts!"
"Let me wait and walk ahead?"
Seeing that Li Jing wanted to go up the mountain, the follower hurriedly stopped him.
However, Li Jing shook his head!
I am the number one swordsman in the world, how could I need their protection?
In just half a quarter of an hour, Li Jing split a road and reached the top of the peak. He also looked down at the entire city with the help of a height.
"grown ups!"
"You are?"
The follower couldn't help but be curious and asked in a low voice.
"Ha ha!"
"Someone is observing the terrain!"
"Observe the terrain?"
When he heard what Li Jing said, the man became more and more confused.
Subconsciously I wanted to ask again.
Li Jing didn't say anything about the person's inquiry, just laughed out loud, and in the end, he even wrote an impromptu poem:
"Half the city is high and half the city is low, and the clear springs in the city are facing west."
"The golden well and silver bed are useless, so you can attract the flower bed at will."
"this!"
The man did not expect that Li Jing would actually reply with a poem. What he did not expect was that Li Jing did it casually, and it was so rhyme and vivid.
