Chapter 67 Let the onions come

The universal manufacturing machine has collected all the raw materials.

What Shen Yuexi has to do now is to go home quickly.

She ran home and finally sent Yang Cong away. She didn't want this thing to appear out of thin air in front of Yang Cong. It would frighten these ancient people.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, she quickly turned around and locked the door, then responded to Big Bear: "I need it now."

There was a "touch" sound.

A simple tractor-type well drilling machine appeared in front of her.

The tall shelf is made of wood, and the rocker and drill bit below are made of iron. There is no electric system, so it can only be done by hand.

She marveled at this simple well-drilling machine. She didn't expect that such an ancient thing would even be recorded in Big Bear's database.

When she was about to dig a well, she found a source of water somewhere.

Drilling a well is not just about finding a place to dig, you need to find a place where the water source is close to the ground.

Shen Yuexi searched around on the ground in the yard. She remembered that she had read relevant records before, about how to find water sources.

Among them is to look at the texture and structure of the ground. Some areas may be very dry but contain water, and also look for places where flowers and plants grow vigorously.

It was still quite hot at noon in August, and the sun was getting brighter.

A few leaves were sparsely hanging on the branches, the grass on the ground was curled up, and the cicadas were chirping incessantly, adding an additional layer of worry to the sultry weather.

Shen Yuexi just kept lying on the ground looking for a suitable place to dig a well. Xiaogang Village is low-lying and sandwiched between two towering mountains. It should be a place with plenty of water.

For almost an hour, she looked through every corner of the yard, but still found no trace of grass growing, and it was all bare.

She stood in the yard thoughtfully. She couldn't find the first method, so she could only find a place with water. The surface of the water would be relatively dry, and the water could be locked in and not easily dispersed.

But looking at the entire yard, there is no place that is not dry. It cannot be that just any place is suitable for digging a well.

She paced back and forth in the yard, unable to find a suitable place to drill a well, so she simply found a random place to drill and try it first.

She did what she thought of, rolled up her sleeves, struggled to pull the well drilling machine over, and prepared to start drilling.

This kind of hand-operated drilling machine is not as powerful as electricity. Shen Yuexi held the handle and shook it vigorously. The drill bit of the drilling machine slowly drilled into the ground. Fortunately for her, the drilling machine was running normally.

After working for a whole hour, I drilled down half a meter...

Shen Yuexi threw away the handle in her hand and sat down on the small stool next to her. She shook her hand so hard that the skin almost peeled off.

This body is really not made for heavy work.

As soon as Yang Cong entered the door, he saw the drilling machine erected in the yard.

She exclaimed and ran over to look at the well-drilling machine.

"Ms. Pei, what is this? Such a high-profile thing?"

She remembered that she didn't see this thing before going out. Why did it suddenly appear? And this thing could actually drill holes in the ground?

Of course Shen Yuexi saw Yang Cong's doubts. She had already thought of a countermeasure and said to her with a smile:

"This is called a well-drilling machine. I have read some books about drilling wells before. It's boring to be idle, so I might as well try to do it. I didn't expect it, and I actually made it. It's just that it's a bit difficult to drill."

Yang Cong excitedly looked around the well-drilling machine, amazed.

If it can really dig a well, then this thing will be their life-saving straw in Xiaogang Village.

She asked in surprise: "Ms. Pei, with this, can our village's water problem be solved?"

"That's right."

When Yang Cong heard this, he jumped up happily.

As long as there is water to drink, at least people in the village will not have to leave their homes.

"But drilling is very... troublesome and laborious," Shen Yuexi rubbed her palms and pointed at the handle, "I'll leave this to you."

She had to go and rest. This kind of physical work was really not what she could do. Yang Cong was very strong, so he was suitable for this job.

Yang Cong happily agreed. This kind of thing was very common for her. She sat next to the well drilling machine and shook the handle with a roar.

The drill bit rotated rapidly, drilling into the ground inch by inch.

Shen Yuexi was about to leave when she remembered that she had asked Yang Cong to go out to inquire about Xiao Zhuo, so she came back and asked her: "Cion, is there any news about my husband?"

This person has been out for almost a day, why hasn't he come back? With Xiao Zhuo's force, it shouldn't be a problem.

Yang Cong shook his hand and said to Shen Yuexi: "Master Pei drove away those Xirong people and seemed to have led everyone in the village to the mountains."

As for what she was doing, she didn't come forward to ask, because all the men who went there were men from the village, and the women all came back.

Anyway, the Xirong people have already run away, so nothing will happen to them.

Seeing the worry on Shen Yuexi's face, she consoled her: "Don't worry, Madam Pei. I saw Mr. Pei leading a group of men from the village towards the mountain with my own eyes."

Opposite the mountain is Xirong. Shen Yuexi nodded clearly and went to seal the road.

It’s no wonder that when it’s almost dark, the person hasn’t come back yet.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw a man dressed in white coming towards the golden light of the setting sun. The afterglow shone on him, giving off a faint afterglow.

"Husband," Shen Yuexi looked at the visitor in surprise, "are you back?"

Xiao Zhuo's eyebrows were stained with a smile, and his eyebrows were shining.

He looked at the well in the yard, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing, as if everything was as expected.

Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo with a guilty conscience. She could fool Yang Cong, that silly girl, but facing Xiao Zhuo, she felt that all the explanations were very weak.

She said nonchalantly: "That's the drilling machine I tinkered with. There is no water in the village, so I dug a well in the yard."

Perhaps after seeing Shen Yuexi being able to make things fly in the sky, Xiao Zhuo seems to be more accustomed to digging wells like this now.

However, Yang Cong, who was drilling a well on the side, intervened: "Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei is so powerful. She can even make such things. She is even more powerful than those scholars in the city."

In Yang Cong's impression, powerful people are those who are scholars.

Now that Shen Yuexi can make such a thing, and she is still a woman, in her opinion, she is more powerful than those talented people.

She looked at Shen Yuexi with unabashed admiration.

Xiao Zhuo nodded.

"A wife's talent is a blessing to her husband."

His voice was low and deep, lingering in his ears, as if he was whispering in his ears.

Shen Yuexi subconsciously touched her ears, raised her head, and looked slightly satisfied.

"That's right," Shen Yuexi said without humility, "just watch, husband, I can make something even more powerful in the future."

Of course, as long as there are enough materials, it is not impossible to build a car, let alone a well-drilling machine.

Xiao Zhuo looked at the face that exuded confidence, shining brightly in the moonlight.

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am." Xiao Zhuo said with a slight smile.

Shen Yuexi felt a little embarrassed. She was just traveling more places to collect materials, and the rest was done by the universal manufacturing machine.

She turned her head away in disbelief, not daring to look at Xiao Zhuo's appreciative eyes.
