47 Chapter 6 Section 2

When Sun Shengkui saw that it was Wang Daxian, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and told him the whole story.

Wang Daxian heard the words and said: "This is a sign of great disaster. The singing snake has been an evil thing that appeared before severe droughts since ancient times. Now it appears here. It seems that there will be a severe drought next year!" After that, he thought again.

Thinking about it, he murmured a few times. Then he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms with a black object wrapped in it. He handed it to Sun Ji and said: "Keep this thing. After your wife gives birth, if

The daughter continued to keep it, and when the first boy was born, she would wear it on that boy!"

Sun Ji took the thing, nodded and said, "What is this?"

Wang Daxian said: "Your wife knows it!" Then he turned around and left.

Sun Shengkui asked hurriedly: "Great Immortal, please go slowly and stay for a long meal!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Changgui said without looking back: "No need, I'll go back and pack up and go to other provinces to seek refuge. It's going to be a severe drought. You'll suffer if you stay here!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Looking at Wang Daxian's retreating figure, Sun Shengkui could only sigh and said: "It seems that there will really be a severe drought next year!"

Sun Jidao: "Then what should we do? Whether it rains or not is God's final decision. Even if we know it now, when the drought comes next year, we will have no way to deal with it!"

At that time, rural people were very superstitious, especially now that Wang Daxian had said that. The villagers suddenly became commotion, and some wanted to go home to clean up, preparing to learn from Wang Changgui and go to their relatives far away. When Sun Shengkui saw this, he said: "Countrymen

Don’t worry! Our land is close to the sea. Even if there is a drought next year, I don’t think it will last long. Why don’t we dig more deep wells now? Maybe we can survive it!”

Sun Ji also said hurriedly: "Yes, usually the more serious droughts mostly occur inland. There are no big rivers. Our east side is close to the sea and there are many rivers. Are we afraid of a severe drought?"

After hearing what Mr. and Mrs. Sun said, everyone became quiet one after another. Someone said: "Master Sun and Young Master Sun are right. Let's start digging wells now. As long as there is no shortage of water, we may be able to fight for a few months next year."

The drought is over!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around him immediately joined in and expressed their agreement. Seeing this, Sun Shengkui nodded and said: "Okay, okay, we can't rush this matter of digging wells. Let's all disperse and go home."

Let’s eat. We’ll gather here again in the afternoon, and then we’ll make a decision and confirm the location of the excavation.”

"Okay!" Everyone agreed. Then they dispersed and went back, leaving only Ma Laizi standing there in a daze, not moving.

When Sun Shengkui saw this, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you stupid because of being tricked?"

Ma Laizi chuckled and said: "Master Sun, it's not that I was scared to death, but what should I do with this dry land dragon?" After that, he pointed to the dead snaking snake.

Sun Shengkui said: "Find a piece of land to bury it, and burn some fire paper and pray."

When Ma Laizi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Hey! That's great!" But after saying that, he still didn't leave. He stared at Sun Shengkui with a silly smile and said nothing.

Seeing his appearance, Sun Shengkui guessed what he was thinking, and said in a pretentious manner: "You don't have any food at home, do you want to mess around with me?"

Nama Laizi said happily: "This... If I'm not busy with my father's grave, and I've run into this kind of thing, how can I still think about making food..."

"Okay, come in, put that thing away first, and then wash the hands!" Sun Shengkui said and entered the main room.

Sun Ji had a good relationship with Ma Laizi. When he saw his father leaving, he went up and slapped Ma Laizi on the shoulder and said, "You are good, how dare you hit this thing?"

"Brother Ji, please stop burying me and help me quickly. My stomach is growling!" Ma Laizi said with a smile.

After having lunch at Sun's house, Sun Ji went to the fields with Ma Laizi. He dug a hole somewhere and buried the dry land dragon. Later, where the body of the dry land dragon was buried, a long

A strange pine tree appeared, which looked very similar to the dry land dragon! Of course, these are things for later, so I won’t say more.

In the afternoon of that day, all the villagers of Yigou Village, young and old, gathered at the door of Sun's house. The young and middle-aged men all carried shovels and spades. They were waiting for Master Sun's order to start digging wells.

Drilling wells in the past was different from drilling wells now. In the past, there were no equipment for exploring underground water sources. People could only rely on human judgment to determine which locations were suitable for drilling wells and which locations were not. How do ordinary people understand this? Even Sun Ji knew little about it.

Among the eight villages within ten miles, only Sun Shengkui could find the right location.

Sun Shengkui was indeed very knowledgeable. He led everyone around the village and pointed out more than a dozen areas. The boys marked them and started digging.

People from other villages passed by Yigou Village and saw that all the people in Yigou Village, old and young, were busy digging wells. They were a little curious. Some people who stopped to watch said sarcastically: "What's wrong with the people in Yigou Village? It's too big."

It's too cold in winter, so why bother digging a well to relieve your sweat?" When Ma Laizi heard what other villagers said, he climbed out of the pit with a shovel and smiled, and said in a non-yinful tone: "You, my dear, I will never let go.
