"Don't touch it, it hurts."

Gu Xiaolu's slightly angry words put Ji Huaifeng at ease.Being angry and talking is always more popular than a silent iceberg.

Ji Huaifeng retracted his hand obediently, "Why does it still hurt now?"

Gu Xiaolu has been injured for three years, right?Ji Huaifeng himself was not uninjured, of course he knew that the wound so long ago would not hurt.

However, Gu Xiaolu said: "It hurts, my whole body hurts!"

Ji Huaifeng just touched him from top to bottom, so of course he knew that there was no injury on his body, and he hadn't been sick recently.So this statement that the whole body hurts is really unbelievable.

The only possibility is that he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't express it, so he had to excuse that he was in pain.According to what the actor said, Gu Xiaolu is actually still sick, maybe he has a heart attack.

Although he didn't understand what he did to offend him, and knew that he was definitely not in real pain, Ji Huaifeng still asked him seriously: "Where does it hurt? Come and let me rub it for you—"

Then he posted it again.Just be more careful this time.It wasn't until the actor said those things that he realized how fragile the thing he held in his arms was.

Although I don't know what it is for, it's better to be careful.

Gu Xiaolu said angrily, "Rub yourself first."

Ji Huaifeng was taken aback for a moment, then he understood.His face became hot, and he said apologetically, "The actor and his family are coughing these few days."

In other words, he has been holding back for several days!It's perfectly normal to have reactions now.

But he didn't dare to take any action.

He turned around slowly, opened his fur and lay down, "Okay, okay." But he didn't move.Just feel uncomfortable, this is called self-inflicted suffering!

I thought it would soften up after being so cold for a while.God knows how, the more I hold back, the more energetic I become.Ji Huaifeng groaned inwardly, held back for a while, and finally couldn't help stretching out his hand.

Unexpectedly, there was a hand that covered his body before him.

That hand was a little cold, and it was very comfortable to touch.Ji Huaifeng sighed happily: "Oh!"

He grabbed Gu Xiaolu's hand, originally intending to tear it away, but he didn't expect that after he grasped it, the movement turned into pressing it harder.

He struggled with his remaining rationality: "Little oar, little oar, stop making trouble."

Gu Xiaolu moved it up and down seriously for a while, "Is it uncomfortable to hold back?"

Ji Huaifeng gritted his teeth: "You don't like it?"

Gu Xiaolu laughed, and suddenly said rascally, "When did I say that?"

Ji Huaifeng suddenly turned over and tore his clothes randomly in the dark.

Gu Xiaolu's awkwardness came and went without a trace.The next day, Ji Huaifeng observed him for a long time, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he went up the mountain to cut firewood.

While eating lunch, Gu Xiaolu suddenly said, "I've already made an agreement with Liu Damao to trade his land."

Ji Huaifeng opened his mouth wide: "When did you say that?"

Gu Xiaolu took a sip of the broth: "He came over this morning, and you happened to be away."

Ji Huaifeng chuckled and drank the soup sullenly.

Although I was still a little confused in my heart - but this confusion faded away after the excitement of last night.

He said to himself, as long as life can go on in peace and stability.

After allocating the land, everyone started to prepare the land.Although Lu Fei and the others dug it again, they only dug out the grass roots and what was left in the ground; what was left was a piece of rough and hard soil.Of course, you can't plant things directly in this way, you have to break up the soil and divide it into ridges.Ji Huaifeng and Gu Xiaolu worked in the field for a long time, both of them were so tired that they were sore and dizzy, and only then did they clean up a small patch of potholes.

After lunch, Ji Huaifeng stretched his sore arms: "I said, should we ask Lu Fei and the others to help? If there are more people, it will work faster."

In order to show fairness, the village assembly also allocated some land to Lu Fei and the others, but on average, each person's land was less than ordinary people, and the land given was also a corner.Ji Huaifeng secretly told them to calm down—if they don't want to plant the allocated land, they can go to the valley outside to open up wasteland, where there is as much land as they want.Lu Fei really led them to open up wasteland.When he was free, he asked Ji Huaifeng if he wanted to come back to help with land preparation, but Ji Huaifeng said no, and asked them to build the house first.So they built a few houses near the mouth of the valley—that is, not far from Ji Huaifeng's house.Calling them to help is just a matter of walking a few steps.

Who knows that Gu Xiaolu shook his head: "No, they also have their own work to do, how about asking them to help? Besides, you look for them all day, after a long time, maybe others will guess what you knew before."

Ji Huaifeng sighed: "Then what do you think we should do? The soil is so hard, the two of us and four hands can't finish it until next year—"

Gu Xiaolu stretched out a finger and shook it: "No, no—think about it, why is the soil so hard?"

Ji Huaifeng thought for a while and shouted, "Because I did it!"

It hadn't rained in this place for nearly a month, and the soil was so dry and hard everywhere that a drop of water couldn't be squeezed out.Coupled with the fire that Lu Fei and the others burned the wild grass, it was almost like burning the soil into bricks.

Gu Xiaolu nodded: "It doesn't rain in the sky, so let's bring water to the ground to soak for a while, won't the soil soften?"

Ji Huaifeng patted his thigh: "Waterwheel! Our waterwheel!"

Gu Xiaolu almost fainted: "Ji Yingxiong, how much water can that little water truck bring up?"

The small water wheel in their family was specially made for the convenience of washing hands and cooking, and even controlled the amount of water fetched - the water it pumped up and flowed down was no thicker than a finger.Ji Huaifeng scratched his head: "Ahem, this, although it's slower, it's better than we carry water to water it ourselves?"

Gu Xiaolu collapsed: "Small ones won't work, we'll make big ones, and a five-meter-diameter one will do the trick."

Ji Huaifeng was speechless: "It's so big—the two of us—can't lift it?"

"So I need to find someone else to do it together. Now we need water for land preparation, so why not use it in the future? Build a waterwheel, and there will be many places that can be used in the future."

"Then talk to Liang Tian, ​​and build one in the whole village?"

"That's not necessary. Just look for people near our field, a dozen or twenty people are enough. The whole village comes together, no matter how big the water truck is, it won't be enough to water the field."

Ji Huaifeng thought for a while, "Okay, they will come over in the afternoon, just talk to them about it then."

The two divided the work, Ji Huaifeng was in charge of lobbying the owners of the dozen or so surrounding lands to build a waterwheel with them, and Gu Xiaolu was in charge of drawing a new waterwheel sketch.The structure of the small waterwheel they used was too simple, and it would definitely not be strong if it was made into a larger one; so a new one was needed.

Ji Huaifeng found someone in the field, and when he told the story, everyone raised their hands in favor.However, troubles arose. When other people in the village heard that a waterwheel was going to be built, they all scrambled to join in. These days, everyone was so disgraced all over the ground, and they all wished that water could be brought into the field immediately.The dozen or so people who agreed at the beginning refused again: Gu Xiaolu was right, the more people who build together, the waterwheel will come up.The more people join, the more water will be divided, and it will definitely not be enough to share it equally among everyone's fields.Everyone was arguing, and Liang Tian came out to speak: "Why don't you divide yourself into groups, make a group close to each other, and each group build their own waterwheel, isn't it over?"

Everyone happily retreated, and each went back to discuss with the neighbors.Soon they all turned back again, with mournful faces: "But how to build the waterwheel?"

Someone shouted: "Gu Xiaolu knows how to make!"

So Gu Xiaolu, who was still drawing pictures at home, was dragged out.

Liang Tian said: "You can watch how he makes it first, and then learn how to do it yourself."

In the next ten days, Gu Xiaolu experienced the most cruel and inhuman onlookers he had ever encountered in his life.

Ji Huaifeng and those people on the adjacent ground naturally had to work with their hands.The waterwheel was designed by Gu Xiaolu, and he naturally became the commander, controlling the overall situation.At the beginning, the two bottom piles were cut down; a hard teak center shaft was planed and rounded, and then 24 equally hard spokes were installed on the center shaft, and the spokes were wedged in two layers with shorter wooden strips. , and then install water buckets on the top of the spokes. When they built the first waterwheel, people from other groups watched around, and some people used a knife to carve key points on bamboo pieces for records.Gu Xiaolu was a little dumbfounded, so he had to explain it to them carefully while making it.

Ji Huaifeng was so pleased that he wanted to kneel in front of the bed and pray to thank God every day.Because since then, Gu Xiaolu has suddenly become much more normal, at least he will take the initiative to say hello when he sees people he knows on the road.

Ji Huaifeng thought optimistically that even if he was really sick, he would recover one day.

Half a month later, more than a dozen waterwheels were erected on both sides of the stream running through the entire valley.Water flows into the ground from criss-cross ditches, soaking the dry and hard clods, so that those clods that were originally as hard as rocks can be broken with just a light tap.

Because everyone was busy building waterwheels and preparing the land, everyone had no time to hunt and do crafts, and the next trading day was much quieter than usual.Fortunately, Ji Huaifeng's charcoal-burning work only needs to be cut down firewood and stuffed into the pit to make a fire, so they still brought some charcoal to the elementary school stadium to set up a stall.After getting some meat, Gu Xiaolu figured out what else they needed, and took the dried meat to go shopping in the "street".

Walking to the other end of the field, he was startled.

There was a man in his early fifties selling rattan and bamboo wares.If it weren't for the fact that the bamboo wares were bigger than what he usually made, he would have thought that he had made them himself.

Although their family didn't need it, he still couldn't help walking over to see how that person made it up.

Because the people in this village need baskets, baskets, etc. to pack up the cassava and potatoes, so the business of that stall is very good, and there are several circles of people inside and outside.Gu Xiaolu looked over the crowded shoulders, and suddenly found a piece of bamboo inserted in front of the stall, and eight small characters were engraved on the bamboo piece: Don't get close to each other, face reprimands for indecentness.

Gu Xiaolu couldn't help but laugh.

Keep away?He leaned over to take a closer look.If this person comes every trading day in the future, won't all his business be robbed?He had to see clearly what that person was doing, and then research and make something better than him.

The person who bought it in front walked away, and the person who followed behind pushed Gu Xiaolu to the front.The stall owner was yelling while collecting dried meat, and when he was free, he was busy weaving an unfinished bamboo basket.Gu Xiaolu watched his hands fly up and down, and within a few minutes he wove the main body of the bamboo basket.Pulling back the edge and lifting the handle, the movement is more chic than the action of the hero in the movie retracting the sword and sheathing it after a fight.

He put the freshly woven basket at the front of the stand, and carefully adjusted it to the outward position.There was a burst of applause from the surrounding crowd.A villager saw Gu Xiaolu and called out, "Hey, Xiaolu—"

Gu Xiaolu was startled again, and rushed forward to cover his mouth, "Shh—don't yell—"

Surrounded by people from the village, knowing that Gu Xiaolu was afraid of the phrase "reprimand indecent", they all grinned.The man raised his head, "Little brother is from this village, right? Buy a basket and put cassava in it?"

Gu Xiaolu coughed: "No need, I have it."

Suddenly someone next to him smiled wickedly: "What's the matter?"

Gu Xiaolu was taken aback: "Huh?"

The man's smile was so rippling that oil was on his face: "It's amazing, how many months has it been?"

Gu Xiaolu suddenly realized, his face flushed immediately: "What nonsense are you talking about? I said I have a basket—"

The man touched it on tiptoe: "You just said that you have it, hahaha"

The people around seemed to find Gu Xiaolu's angry look amusing, and they all laughed along with him.

The laughter poured into Gu Xiaolu's ears wave after wave, covering the sky and covering the sky, making his eardrums buzz.At that moment, he seemed to have fallen into another time and space, surrounded by endless nothingness, he couldn't find a place to stay, and he had nothing to support.

Malevolent laughter filled the entire universe.He looked around blankly and staggered around, but couldn't find a place to rely on.At this time, a vertical thing came into view - the bamboo slices erected by the craftsman in front of the booth, "they are not close to each other, and their faces are indecent".

The bamboo piece is thin and thin, and when he put it up with one hand, it fell over easily.Gu Xiaolu took a step forward, and when he stood still, he pulled out the bamboo piece.He suddenly discovered that one end of the bamboo piece was cut very sharply.

Without even thinking about it, he stabbed it into the chest of the person who provoked him first with his backhand.
