Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

More than eighty miles was almost a day's journey for them. Obviously, staying in an inn was out of the question.

Everyone was worried and looked at Gu Zhang eagerly.

Gu Zhang had no choice but to say: "Why don't we rest here tonight? At least there is half a loess wall to block the wind."

Boss Zhang looked at him, "What should we do if we don't have water?"

Gu Zhang pondered for a moment, "This inn has been open for many years. There must be a well. Let's take a look and see if we can get some water."

Boss Zhang hurriedly went to find a well.

Everyone also scattered to look for the well. At this time, Zhou Tieniu, the eldest grandson of my aunt's family, shouted from behind the ruins, "The well is here!"

Everyone ran over.

There were some dead branches and leaves piled at the mouth of the well. Gu Zhang pulled it away and looked inside, but couldn't see anything clearly. He turned around and said, "Erlang, go get a bucket and a hemp rope."

Gu Erlang ran to the car and got a bucket and a hemp rope. Gu Zhang tied the bucket and threw the bucket into the well. Uncle Ma shook his head beside him. The sound was wrong, indicating that there was no water.

Sure enough, when the wooden barrel was pulled up, half of the barrel was covered with mud, and there was not a drop of water inside.

Mrs. Chen groaned and quickly pulled out a handful of dead grass to wipe away the mud.

Boss Zhang was very anxious, "What should we do? If we don't have water, we will die of thirst."

Except for the Zhang family, every household still has some water. Gu Fei's family has the most water. Their family has more than ten large water bladders and several wooden barrels. Every time they set out in the morning, they have to be filled before leaving.

Gu Zhang looked at Uncle Ma, "How about I take a few people to look around and see if we can find some water."

Uncle Ma looked at the sky and shook his head, "We can't go. It will be dark soon. It's easy to get lost in this wilderness. We need to find water tomorrow."

Gu Zhang had no choice but nodded, "Then we'll look for him tomorrow."

At this time, the women from each family took some dead branches and tied them with brooms, swept the dead leaves on the ground aside, and made a clean open space.

Uncle Ma called to everyone, "Hitch the mules, and the laborers from each family will use their strength to line up the carts in a circle along the wall."

"The rest of you will go and collect more firewood, and we will light a fire in the center."

Everyone quickly started to move after listening to Uncle Ma's command.

Soon the car circled the city. Gu Sanlang went to the car to get fodder to feed the mules. His mules were big and ate a lot. Fortunately, there was still one day's worth of fodder in the car.

After feeding the fodder, Gu Sanlang took a water bag, poured a water bag full of water into the basin, and put it in front of the mule.

Boss Zhang looked at the water, licked his lips, and couldn't help but say, "Sanlang, do you have enough water at home? Give me a sip, I'm dying of thirst."

Sanlang turned to look at him, "Uncle Zhang, tell me, who has enough water? I'm thirsty myself, but if I don't take care of this animal, it won't walk on the street tomorrow."

"Forget it, I'll give you a break."

He took a water bag and opened the lid. Boss Zhang quickly took a bowl of sea water and took it.

Gu Sanlang poured him a full bowl of water. Boss Zhang drank half the bowl in one gulp.

Gu Fei also became worried when looking at the mules. She thought there were few mules before, but now there are more mules. They eat more, drink more, and the food is not bad. Mules are not picky about their food, corn, beans, straw, and bran. , the leaves can be eaten, but water is difficult to get, which is a big trouble.
