The villagers of Xishan Village, Liujia Village and Yuanjiawan have been working together to dig ditches in the past few days. They all want to divert the water from the mountain col to the outside of the mountain. Therefore, no one needs to supervise when they are working. People cheat and try to be lazy.

The water diversion route was surveyed and planned by Lou Xingyun and his five brothers. After leaving the lake, the terrain in the mountain valley was relatively gentle. Everyone followed them while digging trenches and laying bamboo pipes. They were very motivated and could cover several miles a day. .

But after just a day and a half, they ran into trouble. The mountain col is surrounded by mountains, and the road Lou Xingyun and the others are driving has the lowest terrain compared to the mountains next to it. But when the villagers from the three villages laid bamboo pipes here, they felt that the terrain was too high and 80% of the water could not reach it.

This stumped the five brothers.

"The terrain here is the lowest here. If the water can't come up here, it will be even more difficult later!" Lou Xingyun looked at the hill and was helpless. After all, there are two such hills to climb behind. Then The two hills are higher than this.

"Oh! All your hard work was in vain!" The villagers were discouraged and sat on the ground throwing away their hoes and shovels, showing no motivation.

"Yeah, these two days have been in vain! If I had known I wouldn't have come, it would have been better to just pack up my things at home and escape."

"..." The villagers have no fighting spirit.

Leng Shuanghua looked at the mountain bag and asked Lou Xingyun tentatively: "How about going home and asking me to get his Yue-breaking sword and try to split the mountain?"

Before Lou Xingyun could speak, Fang Wuyan had already slapped Leng Shuanghua on the back of the head, "Do you think Poyue Sword can really be used to split rocks and open mountains! That's a sword that kills enemies, how can it be used to chop randomly! "

Leng Shuanghua shut up angrily.

Lou Xingyun looked at the villagers who had no fighting spirit and were still sulking, and felt more or less disappointed. At this juncture, instead of working together to find a way to divert the water, they were still saying depressing words, making everyone lose confidence. .

"If everyone wants to leave, I can't stop them. But if everyone wants to divert the water away, then everyone should first lay the pipes on the road below. We brothers will find a way to solve this section of the road!" Lou Xing Yun said.

"We can lay the pipes at the back, but the water in this section of the mountain road cannot be diverted, so what's the use of laying the pipes at the back!" A villager in Liujia Village immediately shouted.

"Then let's all work together to find a solution. Complaining won't solve the problem." Village Chief Zhang Yongfu said, "This is not Mr. Lou's own business, it's also our business! If you don't want to do it, you can leave, but when we think about it, After we find a way to divert the water out, don’t even think about picking it back up to drink!”

When the people in Liujiacun heard what he said, they shut up in anger.

The people in Yuanjiawan felt that what Zhang Yongfu said was very reasonable, and they all stood by his side, "Master Lou, we don't need to think of any other methods, just use the most direct method, dig! Just dig up the mountain again If you are shorter, you can definitely get through the water." People in Yuanjiawan said one after another.

Lou Xingyun looked at the terrain. There were mountains on both sides. Although there was some soil, it would be very laborious to dig. He didn't know how long it would take.

"Everyone go ahead and lay the pipes down the mountain and the pipes up and down the mountain. I'll go back and ask the prince and his wife if they have any good ideas. If they can't come up with a simple and feasible way, let's go. Let’s dig when the time comes, okay?”

"Master Lou is right. We must lead the water out anyway. Let's not waste time here. Let's lay the pipes at the back first!" Zhang Yongfu felt that Lou Xingyun was right and immediately agreed with him. He took the villagers from Xishan Village down the mountain to lay pipes in the mountains.

When the people from Yuanjiawan saw that the people from Xishan Village were taking action, they were originally here to join forces and benefit from the work. They were even more embarrassed to be lazy, so they immediately took their tools and followed them down the mountain to start work together.

The people in Liujia Village saw that people in both villages were moving, and heard Zhang Yongfu just said that the water must be diverted out no matter what, so they pinned their hopes on Xiao Jing and Yuan Chuyi, hoping that they could figure it out. Here is a good idea to let them relax. After all, they are all elderly people. If they really want to dig mountains, they may not be able to dig much.

Lou Xingyun asked Fang Wuyan and the others to continue leading the villagers to work, while he went down the mountain to go home to find Xiao Jing and Yuan Chuyi.

On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I just woke up and was drinking ginseng chicken soup under the supervision of Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing said that I was not allowed to leave until I finished the whole bowl. She had no choice but to sit at the table and drink slowly.

"My lord, how many pounds do you think I weigh now?" Yuan Chuyi asked with a pout.

Xiao Jing looked at her with a smile on his face, "How about you let me hug you!"

Yuan Chu's face turned red again. He felt like he was teasing him again, but he still protested:

"I'm so fat, weighing more than 100 pounds, and I don't have milk for my child, so don't let me drink ginseng soup and chicken soup all day long."

At that time, she had just given birth and learned that Grandma Xu was ill. She was in a low mood and never returned the milk. When Grandma Xu passed away, she was so sad that there was no way to return the milk, so she had no milk to feed the child. . Fortunately, Xiao Jing didn't say anything and always took good care of her. This also made her feel a little guilty.

She feels that she weighs at least 120 kilograms now, but her body is less than 1.6 meters tall, but she weighs 120 kilograms. Doesn't she look fat?

"I'm not letting you drink ginseng and chicken soup to let you breastfeed the child, but to make you grow rounder!" Xiao Jing said, leaning forward, looking at her, and whispered, "I can hold her like this." It’s a little meaty, not all bones!”

Yuan Chu turned to stone in an instant. He had this idea in mind. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. Feeling ashamed and annoyed, he rolled his eyes at him and cursed, "Pervert!"

Xiao Jing looked at her shy and pretty expression and thought she was very cute, and couldn't help but laugh happily.

Lou Xingyun heard Xiao Jing's laughter outside the courtyard gate and knew that he was in a good mood. Since he was in a good mood, he should be able to come up with better ideas.

"Master!" he shouted outside.

"Come in!" Xiao Jing stopped smiling and called outside.

Seeing Lou Xingyun come in, Yuan Chuyi couldn't help asking: "Why are you back? Something happened in the back mountain?"

Lou Xingyun couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Yuan Chuyi, otherwise he would say that his wife is smart! He immediately told the two of them briefly about the encounter with the mountain when laying bamboo pipes, and asked them to come up with a simple and feasible idea.

"How high is the mountain?" Yuan Chuyi asked.

"Nearly ten meters."

"Is there no way to dig it out?"

Xiao Jing asked. What else can you do besides digging! In the past, when they marched and fought, they built roads through mountains and built bridges over water. Didn't the soldiers do this all by themselves?

"They are all stones. The villagers have to dig them out. I don't know how long it will take until the year of the Monkey."

The first thing that came to mind on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty was to blow up the mountain, but I didn't know if gunpowder was widely used in this era. Anyway, there were fireworks and firecrackers.

"Is there no way to blow a hole in the mountain?" she asked.

"Explode!" Xiao Jing pondered.

Yuan Chu thought for a while and said, "I remember once when I saw the master making elixirs. He mixed saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal into the elixir furnace, and then it exploded for some reason, and the roof was blown off!"
