Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong drove the bullock cart to the door of their house and moved all the things they bought into the house.

After everything was tidied up, Yang Cong straightened up, wiped his sweat, and said to Shen Yuexi: "Ms. Pei, I'll go to the foot of the mountain to see what's going on."

Shen Yuexi quickly reached out to hold her: "You can't go, the Xirong people will arrest you."

She has absolute confidence in Xiao Zhuo, and the best way now is to hide at home. Besides, even if the two of them go, they won't be able to help, they can only add to the chaos.

Yang Cong asked worriedly: "Can Master Pei handle it alone?"

It sounds like she can help if she goes there.

"You don't know how to do martial arts, so it's all for nothing if you go."

As Shen Yuexi talked, she walked to the kitchen, poured rice into the newly bought pot, and then discovered an important point: there was no water.

I bought all kinds of rice, noodles, tables and chairs, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the town. I thought I had bought everything, but I forgot that Xiaogang Village was short of water.

The villagers now have to go to the mountains to find water for water. Yesterday, they still used the water she and Xiao Zhuo brought for cooking.

But I just promised Xiao Zhuo that I would not go out before he comes back.

With no choice, Shen Yuexi had to sit in the yard, holding her cheek and worrying.

You can't do this and just wait.

Yang Cong was also walking around in the yard, suddenly turned around and ran over, squatted in front of Shen Yuexi and said, "How about I go to the mountain to find water, and you wait at home."

Mr. Pei didn't say that she would stay at home. Since Mrs. Pei couldn't go out, she had to do it.

Shen Yuexi thought for a moment and shook her head. Although Yang Cong had brute strength, he didn't understand martial arts. It would be bad if he met one or two Xirong people.

She remembered that in ancient times, didn't every house have a well in the yard?

So she asked Yang Cong: "Whose house in the village has a well? Let's go to their house to borrow some water first. What do you think?"

Yang Cong said: "There has been a drought for several months, and the wells in the village have dried up. And hiring someone to dig a well costs five or six taels of silver. The village is full of poor people. Wherever they can afford it, they usually get water from nearby mountains." Go get some water."

Shen Yuexi stood up from the stone bench and wandered back and forth in the yard.

If we go by what Yang Cong said, the wells in the entire village have dried up, and now the weather is dry again, with not even a drop of rain falling in three months. But there is water in the mountains, which means there is water underground.

In other words, as long as the well is drilled deeper, water should be able to come out.

Drilling a well costs five or six taels of silver, and her pocket is empty now. And even if she wants to drill a well, she doesn't know what people here use to drill it.

So she asked Yang Cong: "Is there anyone who specializes in digging wells?"

Yang Cong thought for a while, she had never seen anyone digging a well in her whole life, and she had never heard of anyone in the village digging a well.

But she still knew about the well diggers.

She answered honestly: "There are still people who specialize in digging wells. But there are none in the village."

Shen Yuexi originally wanted to ask Yang Cong what the well diggers used, but now that Yang Cong was like this, he didn't know.

As far as she knows, the simplest drilling machine needs to consist of a main engine, a drill pipe, and a drill bit.

The raw materials for the main engine and the drill pipe can be found quickly, but the drill bits are probably more difficult. The drill bits require diamonds, but it is obviously too difficult to find the raw materials for diamonds now. Those things are hard to come by.

It just doesn't work if you think about it.

But that is digging a large water well. A well drilling machine equipped with a diamond drill is not needed for a small well like this.

On the contrary, the universal manufacturing machine can be used to make a simple tractor-type well drilling machine.

The traction type is obviously not as easy to use as the electric one, but in ancient times where there was no electricity at all, it was better than nothing.

"Call Big Bear and make me a tractor-type well drilling machine."

I don’t know if the database of the universal manufacturing machine contains such a thing. After all, this thing was already an ancient relic in her time.

She was still a little worried.

Just listen to the two-dimensional voice of Big Bear again: "Dear master, we are collecting the raw materials required for the tractor-type well drilling machine... The progress is 10%...20%...30%. Dear master, the raw materials are insufficient and manufacturing is interrupted." "

"Dear master, please change your location as soon as possible. Daxiong will continue to collect the raw materials required for the tractor-type well drilling machine and notify you after the collection is completed."

Without saying a word, Shen Yuexi walked out the door.

"The raw materials required for the tractor drilling machine are being collected...the progress is 40%...50%..."

Soon, she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, and then quickly wandered around the village. But it was in the village, and it was just near the yard where they lived.

The sound of Big Bear is still going on. This is good news. It has not been so smooth for a long time.

"70%...80%...90%..."

As the numbers got closer and closer, she became more and more excited, but she still pretended to be doing nothing.

Yang Cong didn't know why, so he followed her closely, fearing that she might be discovered accidentally by the Xirong people.

Mrs. Pei was running around like a headless fly. She didn't know if she was possessed or what. She scratched her head and couldn't figure out what this Mrs. Pei was going to do.

Maybe this is because Mrs. Pei was worried about her husband and decided to walk to relieve her tension?

It looks quite similar.

I wanted to comfort him several times, but I didn't know what to say. Mr. Pei went there this time to save the people in the village. I don't know how the Xirong people there negotiated with Mr. Pei. They wouldn't start fighting again.

"95%!"

Shen Yuexi was very happy and was about to finish collecting them.

I almost forgot, there is Yang Cong behind me. I have to send her away.

She stopped in a hurry, looked at Yang Cong, and said with a worried look on her face: "Go to the foot of the mountain and ask about the situation of my husband and the villagers. I'm really worried."

Yang Cong had long wanted to go and have a look, but because Shen Yuexi didn't agree, she was too embarrassed to leave.

Her life was saved by Mr. Pei and his wife, and she will give her life to them in the future. She will never break her promise to Mr. Pei.

When Shen Yuexi asked her to go to the front to inquire about the news, she would not refuse, but she was still a little worried about Shen Yuexi's safety.

Shen Yuexi couldn't see her worries, so she smiled and reassured her: "I will go home right away and will never leave the house."

The well-drilling machine will be manufactured soon, so there is no need to wander around.

She wished she could go back right away so that she could dig a well immediately and solve their water problem.

Yang Cong took another look around and saw no one was around, so he left with peace of mind.

Shen Yuexi ran around a yard again.

The milky voice of Big Bear sounded happily in her mind:

"Dear master, the raw materials for the tractor-type well drilling machine have been collected."
Chapter completed!
