"We can use the street as a benchmark, starting from the west bank of the lake in Daoxiang Village, dig out a waterway with a shovel, and then build various branches to divert the water from the west of the lake to the rice fields of the villagers. Wouldn't this solve the problem of drought?
"
Yuyi said, making a gesture of waving forward.
"It's feasible to dig ditches, but Daoxiang Village is only a few miles away. If we waited until the ditches were built, wouldn't we have already starved to death?"
After hearing Yu Yi's method, Diao Ruxiao's eyes lit up, then darkened randomly, and she raised questions.
"Master is right. It would be great if we had an excavator. It only takes one day to solve the problem!"
Yu Yi patted the back of his head. He was just thinking of a solution, but he didn't worry about the feasibility of the solution.
"It doesn't matter. I'll build some shovels overnight today and start digging ditches tomorrow. We don't need to dig so deep at first, as long as the water doesn't dry up!"
Lei Minghu walked up to the two of them at this time and patted his chest. When it came to building water conservancy projects and being resourceful, he might not be good at it, but when it came to making tools and weapons, he was very good at it.
"As Master Lei said, we will organize the villagers to start the canal digging project tomorrow. Today I will be the first to plan the digging route."
The three of them hit it off immediately and quickly settled the matter.
It was night, after Yuyi finished eating, he was informed by Diao Xue and went to Diao Ruxiao's room. He saw Diao Ruxiao looking attentively at a map with many symbols on it.
Seeing Yuyi arriving, Diao Ruxiao pointed to her side and motioned for Yuyi to come over.
"Master, I don't know why you informed me late at night!"
Yu Yi made a respectful bow to Diao Ruxiao.
"Yu Yi, where is your hometown? Why do you think your ideas are so novel?"
Diao Ruxiao was still immersed in looking at the map, but she did not forget to chat with Yu Yi while watching.
"Ah, it's somewhere far away, on an island."
From Diao Ruxiao's tone, Yu Yi judged that Diao Ruxiao began to have doubts about her life experience again. Thinking that it was impossible to make up the place name of her hometown, and that she was from modern times, it was hard to talk about it, so she casually said that it was in
On the island. Because science and technology were very backward at that time and the sea was a blind spot, it would be more appropriate to mention the island.
"It should be a very technologically advanced place."
Diao Ruxiao sighed meaningfully. The last time he solved a theft case, this time he was building a canal. He didn't understand how many advanced ideas Yuyi still had.
"It's not very advanced. I just encountered the same problem and figured out a way to solve it."
Yu Yi didn't dare to look at Diao Ruxiao, and spoke in a very soft voice, for fear that Diao Ruxiao would find him uncomfortable.
"Hey, Yuyi, you are my most proud disciple, but why, I always can't see through you."
Diao Ruxiao finally put down the map and started to look at Yuyi.
Diao Ruxiao's sudden question made Yu Yi a little overwhelmed. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Yu Yi clearly felt that his legs were shaking, and he couldn't stop. Diao Ruxiao's two sharp eyes were on Yu Yi.
Sweeping it back and forth is like scraping it with two sharp knives.
"Well, no matter what, I should still thank you for solving the water problem for the villagers of Daoxiang Village."
Seeing that Yu Yi remained silent, Diao Ruxiao didn't feel like asking any more questions, so she just smiled and patted Yu Yi on the shoulder.
"Whatever the master said, it would be my honor to be able to do my best for the villagers."
At this time, the map on the table fell to the ground, and Yu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up.
"Yu Yi, just take a look at the map. How about I planned a route?"
Diao Ruxiao walked up to Yuyi and pointed to some marks on the map. Yuyi looked along the marks. Diao Ruxiao's waterway was planned very carefully, covering almost all the places in the village that needed water.
All the places were covered, and Yu Yi was secretly amazed. Just when he was about to praise him greatly, he discovered a small problem, that is, the entire waterway as a whole, since it was a dead character, he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or God's will.
"Master, I think the waterway is complete."
Yu Yi looked at the map again and again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he handed the map back to Diao Ruxiao.
"Well, you should go back and rest early to recuperate your strength. You will be very busy later."
Diao Ruxiao rolled up the map, personally walked Yuyi to the door, and then returned to the room.
After coming out of Diao Ruxiao's room, Yu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and happened to meet Diao Xue again.
"What did father ask you to do? Why are you so nervous?"
Diao Xue saw Yu Yi constantly wiping his sweat and asked with concern.
Diao Xue's sudden appearance startled Yu Yi, but Yu Yi soon regained his composure and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the master drew a waterway map and let me take a look at it together!"
Diao Xue nodded in understanding. Ever since she was put under house arrest, Yu Yi hadn't spoken to her for a long time. Now that she had the chance to be alone, Yu Yi didn't know where to start. She always seemed to
It was a bit embarrassing. Recalling the story of Liu Lang and the Weaver Girl that day under the stars, and Diao Xue's reddish face, Yu Yi felt that a long time had passed.
"Do you know about Zhang Daniu?"
For some reason, Diao Xue actually asked Yu Yi about Zhang Daniu's situation.
"I heard from Lei Chunze that he has left the village, and I haven't seen him for a while."
Yuyi raised his head and looked at the moon in the distance.
In fact, when Zhang Daniu was a follower, Diao Xue was very annoying. Now that Zhang Daniu has disappeared, she is not used to it. Sometimes Zhang Daniu is more like her brother, always protecting her around her.
After answering Diao Xue's question, the two fell into silence again. Yu Yi wondered if she didn't have me in her heart, so she asked about Zhang Daniu's situation. Diao Xue wondered if Yu Yi had changed and he had
He fell in love with another woman, so he became very cold towards himself.
Finally, Yu Yi spoke up, "Tomorrow the work on the canal will start, so we should go back as soon as possible to recuperate!"
"Well, let's go back and rest early."
Diao Xue's tone was very cold, and then she left without looking back.
Yu Yi watched her back slowly disappear, feeling a little lost. What caused the current situation? Was it the breakup of Diao Ruxiao? Wasn't it because she had always been Zhang Daniu in her heart? That's not right. Yu Yi didn't want to go there anymore.
After thinking about this problem, he shook his head and quickly disappeared into the night, returning to his room.
------
At that time, Zhang Daniu brought some dry food from the inn, filled the kettle with water, asked the boss for a horse, and rushed back to Daoxiang Village to report the news to Diao Ruxiao. However, things did not go as smoothly as he imagined.
While riding his horse through the woods, he was ambushed and his horse tripped over a rope. He followed the horse and fell into a big pit. When he wanted to climb up, a large net appeared at the exit of the hole and covered it.
Then the net caught him and rose up, and he was caught.
