"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 is 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 dimmed randomly, and she questioned.
"Master is right, hey, it would be great if we had an excavator. It only takes one day to solve the problem!"
Yuyi patted the back of his head. He was just thinking of a solution, but he didn't consider the feasibility of the solution.
"It doesn't matter. I'll build some shovels overnight today and start digging ditches on cloudy days. We don't need to dig so deep at first, as long as the water doesn't dry up!"
Lei Yinhu 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 on cloudy days. Today, I will be the first to plan the excavation route."
The three hit it off immediately and quickly settled the matter.
That night, after Yuyi finished eating, he was informed by Diao Xue and went to Diao Ruxiao's room. I saw Diao Ruxiao looking at a map attentively. There were many symbols on the map.
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 gesture 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 didn't 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 she 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 islands.
"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 was confused about how many advanced ideas Yu Yi 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 very softly, for fear that Diao Ruxiao would find him uncomfortable.
"Hey, Yu Yi, 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 Yinxian felt that his legs were shaking, and he couldn't stop. Diao Ruxiao's two sharp eyes were on Yu Yi. Sweeping around the body, it was like two sharp knives scraping back and forth.
"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?"
With that said, Diao Ruxiao walked up to Yu Yi and pointed to some marks on the map. Yu Yi looked along the marks. Diao Ruxiao's waterway was planned very carefully, covering almost all the places in the village that needed water. Yuyi was secretly amazed. Just when he was about to praise him, he discovered a small problem, that is, the entire waterway Looking at it as a whole, since it is the word "death", I don't know if it is a coincidence or God's will.
"Master, I think the waterway is complete."
Yu Yi observed the map repeatedly, and after confirming that there was nothing 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?"
Seeing that Yuyi kept wiping his sweat, Diao Xue 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. Yu Yi had not spoken to her for a long time since she was placed under house arrest. Now that she had a chance to be alone, Yu Yi didn't know where to start. 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. I haven't seen him for a while."
Yuyi raised his head and looked at the moon in the distance.
In fact, Diao Xue was very annoying when Zhang Daniu was a follower. Now that Zhang Daniu has disappeared, she is not used to it. Zhang Daniu is sometimes 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, "The Yinri Drainage project is about to begin. We need to 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.
Yuyi 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 think about this problem anymore. He shook his head and quickly disappeared into the night and returned 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.
