I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 702 Encountering Dry Weather

Hearing his mother's suggestion, Bai Anyan thought about it for a moment, but did not object. He had been paying attention to the water level of Qingshui River in the past two days, and it was already declining.

 The old farmer once said that we are not afraid of drought, but we are afraid of falling water levels. Once this phenomenon occurs, the drought will last longer.

He went to see the place where his mother used to fish, and found that a foot of distance had been lost.

“Mom, I want to see the tenants.”

Especially for children from tenant families, if they step on a seedling, their bottoms will suffer, and they will develop a habit over time. As soon as their carriage heard the edge of the field, the tenants nearby immediately surrounded them.

“Yeah, I don’t know when this weather will end. Can my boss dig some more wells for us?”

“Fortunately, we dug the well in advance and avoided the trouble. As for the current situation, it should be a natural disaster and has nothing to do with humans.”

Bai Anyan brought a pot of water, Bai Yunxi took a cattail leaf fan, and the three of them took a carriage and went all the way to Xiaowangzhuang.

“Master, can you dig a few more wells? Don’t worry, as long as you find a well-drilling master, we will also be responsible for digging the wells and will not ignore them.”

Listening to Baiyun Xi's comfort, the people who were shouting just now also stopped talking.

“It’s a good thing that we bought the land and hired someone to dig a well. If there was only one well, the crops in Xiaowangzhuang would be in dire straits.”

“Dear neighbors, you and I can’t make decisions about God’s affairs, but you have to take it easy. Since we don’t know when it will rain, we have to continue watering the ground, but we can’t tire people out.”

If his mother hadn't kept reminding him not to forget to hire someone to dig a well, he might have had the tenants make trouble at the door of his house by now.

Looking from a distance, there are heads everywhere, as if going to a market.

Looking at the surprised look in his second brother’s eyes, Bai Yunxi smiled.

“Mother, do you think Squire Wang had already predicted that there would be little rain this year and there would be a drought, so he sold the fields?”

"Children are running around in the fields, and they are not afraid of trampling on the crops?" Wenyou looked at the children running around in the fields, frowning and asking.

Looking at the disbelieving looks in everyone's eyes, Bai Anyan's face became solemn.

“When the well was being dug, several of us from Xiaowangzhuang followed us and never left. We were all listening to what the master said at that time. I was not the only one. If you don’t believe it, just ask.”

“You did say that, and you also said something about soil quality, rock formations, etc. I couldn’t understand it either…”

“The water level in the river ahead has begun to drop. If it doesn’t rain again, it’s probably time to grab water.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. After a while, someone silently raised their hands.

“I was there at the time, and the master did say that those three positions are the easiest to get out of the water.”

Bai Anyan was worried about the situation with the tenants. Although he dug a well, he didn't want to drink water for irrigation, lest the tenants cause trouble, so he had to go and take a look.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent and looked at Bai Anyan suspiciously.

“Master, we have to be in a hurry. We watered in the morning and dried in the afternoon. We don’t dare to stop all day long. How can we not be in a hurry?”

Hearing the second child staring at him with wide eyes, Bai Yunxi was also stunned, and then shook his head.

 Everyone: “…”

"It's just a coincidence... However, as a senior landowner who has cultivated land for so many years, he will always encounter several droughts and floods. It is normal for him to have more experience than us. Didn't Zhao Yalang also say that Wang Xiangshen is because I sold it because I was too old to take care of it. Since I wanted to buy it, I naturally chose the most difficult field to manage."

“It’s dry and dry, you all should take it easy and don’t be too impatient.”

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty-four. One hundred and forty-six. Seventy-five

As soon as I turned into the field path, I saw people everywhere in the farmland, some carrying poles and buckets, carrying buckets to the fields, women and children watering them one by one with water ladles. .

Everyone also knew that it would not rain and it would be useless if the boss came, but seeing the crops wilting, they felt anxious.

Hearing everyone's chattering, Bai Yunxi got out of the carriage with the support of his son and waved to everyone.

“Yes, if this continues, the crops in the fields may not be able to withstand it.”

Bai Anyan wiped his forehead and tied the cloth around his wrist so as not to delay his work.

 Speaking of this, Bai Anyan slapped his leg suddenly.

Bai Yunxi looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, "They say that there are specialties in the industry, there are experts in farming, and there are masters in digging wells. As long as I can produce water, I will still be stingy with one or two wells? You don't even think about it. If you reduce production, what will you do to your employer? what is the benefit?"

Baiyunxi looked up at the scorching sun, feeling hot even before noon.

“You are the backbone of the family. If you collapse from fatigue, what will the whole family do?”

With that said, he called Wenyou to get the car.

“Mom, don’t worry, I won’t have any conflict with the tenants. The weather is too hot. You’d better stay at home. Heatstroke won’t be good.”

 The weather in summer is indeed abnormal. If this weather continues, it will cause drought. A while ago, I told Mr. Song Wang that things would be going smoothly this year, but in the blink of an eye I was slapped in the face.

Hearing the tenant farmer's suggestion, Baiyunxi turned to look at his second son, "When we dug a well a while ago, the location was chosen by the well-drilling master. Tell everyone what he said at that time."

Hearing Wenyou’s surprised tone, Baiyunxi chuckled lightly,

“Children from poor families have been in charge of their own affairs for a long time. They have been taken to the fields by their parents since they were young. They know from an early age that food is their ration and cannot be wasted.”

 Irrigation is the most important thing right now. As long as the crops can be saved, doing more work is nothing.

"That's right. If it were easy to take care of, Squire Wang wouldn't easily agree to send a season's worth of grain."

Otherwise, it would be too coincidental. As soon as they took over, God stopped raining. One hundred acres of dry land was supported by just one well.

“It’s okay, I’m not working, so I’ll just go for a walk and it’ll be fine.”

“I don’t know when it will rain. If it continues like this, the river will dry up.”

Looking at the tanned men in front of her, Bai Yunxi looked up at the scorching sun. She couldn't control God's affairs.

"Everyone, please be patient. When I brought the well digger here, he walked around the field before settling on the position. In other words, except for the few positions he pointed out, water could not be drilled from the rest. "

“Master, you are here. The well is not enough. We almost started fetching water this morning.”

Bai Anyan looked at the encouragement in his mother's eyes, sighed, and clenched his fists to encourage himself.

Baiyunxi took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This is true, and with the testimony of my own villagers, it is indeed more credible than what my boss said.

 But now we have to queue up to water the fields with these four wells.
