I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?
Chapter 444 Riding a Horse
Xinzhuangzi was just as Changsheng had described, there were several earthen hills and two stone hills opposite.
There is a small stream in the village, but the water has dried up long ago due to the drought.
However, even if it were not for the drought, the stream in Zhuangzi would be dry for nearly a year every year.
Water only flows down during the two months of high tide in early spring.
In the fields over here, farmers were sitting in groups of three or four on the edge of the fields, sighing as they looked at the sick crops in the fields.
It didn't rain, and Shen Rong felt unhappy.
When the head of the village saw the new master coming, he hurried to greet them. When he learned that the two wanted to take a walk around the village, he took the couple for a stroll around the village.
The two of them saw what was going on with Liangtian when they came in, so there was no need to look at it again.
Those mountains are covered with vegetation, so fruit trees can be planted there. But the two mountains opposite are just bare rocks, and it's obvious that nothing can be planted there.
The couple went straight up the mountain.
There is a path on the mountain. Following the path up the mountain, the two can see the moist land between the two mountains.
"Before the drought, was there a lot of water flowing there?" Shen Rong pointed to the moist area.
Ma Zhuangtou looked at the place where Shen Rong pointed and said, "The water of the stream flows out from here."
"It seems to be still wet, so there should be water inside. Have you dug it up and have a look?" Shen Rong suggested.
If she remembered correctly, the springs and ponds on the west hill of Taohua Village were not there at the beginning.
But later people dug the spring eye to make the spring water flow downwards, forming a pool. The spring water flowed out of the mountain through the pool, and this is how the village had a canal and a small river.
Ma Zhuangtou was stunned after hearing what Shen Rong said.
He is just a village head.
The previous owner of the manor didn't care about these things. It remained the same as it was when he bought it.
Now that he had a new master, he still did things according to the old rules and only took care of the tenants' farming. He really didn't think about anything else.
Changsheng used to be confused, and he only remembered what happened around him in Taohua Village. As for those things that were not related to him, he really had no idea.
However, he believed Shen Rong's words.
"You can try it."
Although he didn't know whether this was true or not, Taohua Village was indeed a place with abundant water resources.
Although this is the north, what if this mountain is like the one in Taohua Village and can also be dug out to produce a big spring?
Seeing that his master had given the order, the village head had no choice but to go down the mountain to call people to come and dig the spring.
The farmers were not unhappy about it. If they could dig out water, their crops would be saved.
Ma Zhuangtou brought seven or eight strong men down to the foot of the two mountains and started digging.
Although this mountain is a dirt mountain, there are layers of weathered rocks beneath the soil, which are more difficult to dig than ordinary soil.
Fortunately, the weathered mountain soil had been soaked in spring water and was very soft, so it didn't take much effort for a few grown men to dig it up.
In less than an hour, several people dug a big pit in the gap between the two mountains, and the soil in the pit became increasingly wetter.
As everyone saw the soil becoming wetter, they dug more vigorously.
The soil will become wet, indicating that there is water underneath.
In this way, when the pit was dug more than half a foot deep, a string of water drops as thick as fingers gushed out from the bottom.
"Water is coming out!" Someone shouted and everyone looked towards the water.
When Ma Zhuangtou saw the water, he slapped his thigh happily and shouted, "Okay, since there is water coming out, quickly smooth the pit all around and fill the outside with soil to leave a small ditch."
Shen Rong and his companions took a walk in the mountains, and when they came back, a pit more than half a meter deep had been dug, and water was actually bubbling out of the pit.
She thought that the reason why the farm was sold was because it was too far from a water source and there was a shortage of water.
I didn't expect that the water source would be found so quickly.
Changsheng saw this and hurried down, taking everyone with him to renovate the pit in the same way as the water reservoir in Taohua Village.
First, they asked people to find stones to cover up the spring at the bottom of the pit, leaving only an outlet. Then they filled the pit with stone slabs and surrounded the pit mouth with stones, leaving an opening. They then cleaned out a small ditch along the winding terrain.
Everything was ready, except for the water in the big pit to be filled up and flow down through the land in the village.
After finishing all this, the morning was over.
The two of them had lunch at the farm and then took a nap.
In the afternoon, Changsheng took Shen Rong to stroll across the street. After a day, Changsheng had an idea of the future plans for Zhuangzi.
"It's getting late. We shouldn't go back today. Let's stay here for one night and go back tomorrow." Changsheng suggested to Shen Rong.
"What about the children?" Shen Rong was worried about the two siblings.
"It's okay. Isn't there a maid here? Let the driver go back and pass on a message. It's just right for you to come and see if this pond can be made."
After Changsheng said this, Shen Rong had no reason to refuse.
I had no choice but to agree.
When Changsheng saw that Shen Rong agreed to stay here for one night, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
The couple did not return home that day. They just sent the coachman back to tell them that they would come back to pick them up the next day.
At night, Changsheng and Shen Rong lay on the earthen kang. Changsheng hugged Shen Rong and talked about his future plans for the manor.
"You can take care of this farm! You are good at farming, you can plant whatever you want." Shen Rong nestled in Changsheng's arms and said softly.
"Of course we have to plant the fruits that we have there, so that..." As Changsheng spoke, his hands unconsciously became restless.
Since having a child, the couple rarely spend a day together without the child, let alone time like this when no one can disturb them.
When they were in the mansion, the two children lived in a gauze cupboard separated by a door. If the two wanted to do something, they had to wait until the children fell asleep and do it secretly.
Sometimes, Shen Rong was concerned about her child and would refuse Changsheng once out of three times. Changsheng was really miserable.
I wanted to kick the kids out a few times, but when I thought about the two little ones always having to eat some fruit in the space at night, I had to hold back.
Now, the couple finally has a chance to spend some time alone, and Changsheng will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
Shen Rong was aroused by Changsheng's teasing, and she was a little distracted. She did not reject Changsheng, but cooperated with him half-heartedly.
The night was a little chilly, but the room felt quite lively.
In the darkness, Changsheng said in a hoarse voice: "Let's stay here for another night tomorrow!"
"...No...there are still children...We have been away for so long...What if they come looking for us...what should we do?" Shen Rong's voice was a little intermittent.
Changsheng was a little annoyed when he heard this: "I am by your side now, just think of me, why are you still thinking about those two little ones?"
"Why are you still fussing with the child..." Shen Rong grabbed Changsheng's shoulder.
Changsheng felt pained, "I'm working hard to serve you here, and you're still thinking about others... Your child is not as good as your man..."
Seeing that he started talking nonsense, Shen Rong shut up.
Changsheng didn't let her go so easily. He grabbed Shen Rong's waist with both hands and lifted her up, and the two of them switched places.
"Ah! What are you doing?" Shen Rong was suddenly lifted up and sat up, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Changsheng chuckled, leaned close to Shen Rong's ear, and whispered, "Don't you want to ride a horse during the day? Your husband will take you to experience the feeling of riding a horse first..."
Shen Rong's face flushed, and she patted the man's chest with both hands, "Let me go!"
Changsheng didn't listen, but pinched her waist with both hands to pin her down.
Shen Rong's whole body became limp from the shaking, and soon she lost all her strength.
In the darkness, Changsheng supported her and chuckled again, "Is this all that matters?
You are too weak.
If you really ride a horse, I'm afraid you'll have to get off in disgrace as soon as you get on. I can't bear to see you suffer that pain, so let's not learn it!"
When Shen Rong heard him say that he didn't want to learn anymore, she immediately straightened up her weak body and said in a hoarse voice, "Who said that? Riding a horse is riding a horse, it's not the same thing."
Changsheng's hands lit a fire on her body and said, "It's really not the same thing. Riding a horse is not as comfortable as this."
Shen Rong didn't believe Changsheng's words at all. She propped up her legs and tried to get down, but Changsheng grabbed her legs and she was trapped by him again. She was tossed around for half the night. It was a ridiculous night.
After that night, Shen Rong never dared to mention horse riding again.
The next day, Shen Rong got up late.
When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
By the time she finished her meal, digested it for a while, and got on the carriage, it was almost noon.
Fortunately, the farm was not far from the city, and it only took a little over an hour to get into the city by carriage.
After walking for half an hour, the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. The ditch at the foot of the mountain was wet, which was something they didn't see yesterday.
The three of them followed the ditch up and saw that the closer they got to the inside, the wetter the stones became.
Until the three of them saw water bubbling out of the pond. It was because the ground outside was too dry, and the water flowed out and moistened the soil.
“Is it successful?” Ma Zhuangtou rubbed his eyes, feeling unbelievable.
It was really dug out!
"Well, if there is a lot of water in the future, you can dig a bigger one along the back, and you can also dig a ditch next to the edge of the field, so that you can water the crops in the future." Changsheng told him everything he knew.
Ma Zhuangtou nodded quickly.
The ditch is at the edge of the field, so it will be easier to water in the future. As long as this matter is made clear, there will definitely be people willing to do it.
At worst, I can just give them some wages when the time comes.
For a farm this big, as long as we can get water, we don’t have to worry about not having a good harvest.
Shen Rong and the other person looked at the water level of the pond and prepared to leave.
The driver arrived early in the morning.
When the two of them went back, just like when they came, Changsheng rode a horse and Shen Rong took a carriage.
As soon as the carriage entered the official road, several people heard cries for help from the woods nearby.
