Chapter 61 Buying a water truck to save the queen bee [2 more]

"That's great. How about Jing Wen and the two of us going to Zhoujia Village tomorrow to ask, but I don't know anyone in Zhoujia Village, so I don't know if they will sell it to me?"

Xu Huizhi remembered that Xiaorong's grandfather seemed to be somewhat related to the head of Zhoujia Village, so why not ask Xiaorong's grandfather to come forward.

"Xiao Rong, I seem to remember that your grandfather knew people from Zhou Family Village, can you ask him to take Jing Wen and He Jun to ask?"

"Okay, speaking of which, the village head of Zhoujia Village still calls my grandpa cousin. I'll tell grandpa when I get back. Tomorrow, Jingwen and He Jun, you can come to my house directly."

After breakfast the next morning, Jing Wen took He Jun to Xiaorong's house in a carriage.

Xiaorong and his grandfather had been waiting for them outside the door.

It turned out that Xiao Rong's grandfather was not allowed to work in the coal mine after the coal mine collapsed, so Xiao Rong has been idle at home without finding a job.

Later, when his grandfather learned that Jing Wen and He Jun called Xiao Rong to help him, he was very grateful to Jing Wen's family in his heart.

He himself is a sick old man who can't do much at ordinary times and is still a medicine jar. Now that Xiao Rong has nothing to do, it means that the future life of the father and father will be very difficult.

His son died of illness, and his daughter-in-law ran away early.

He and his grandson depended on each other for life. Even if they could earn money by working in coal mines, his grandfather would not dare to take the risk of sending his grandson to work in coal mines.

So when Xiao Rong came back yesterday and told his grandfather about the waterwheel in Zhoujia Village, Grandpa Xiao Rong agreed with all his heart, saying that he would help him no matter what.

Xiao Rong helped his grandfather get into the carriage, and Jing Wen drove the carriage to Zhoujiacun.

Zhoujia Village is next door to Ewan Village, only a dozen miles away.

The carriage rattled fast, and arrived at Zhoujia Village in half a stick of incense time.

Grandpa Xiaorong went directly to Village Chief Zhou and explained his intention.

In terms of seniority, the village chief had to call Grandpa Xiaorong his cousin this week, so he was very polite.

"We used to have two waterwheels, one was a big pedal waterwheel, the pedal waterwheel was big, but it was not easy to use.

The smaller one is the hand-operated water wheel, which is easy to use, but the water output is very small.

Later, we went to order a big waterwheel in our village.

It stands to reason that this old hand-operated waterwheel has been around for several years, so it can be given to you, but it is something from Murakami after all.

Moreover, this hand-operated irrigation water wheel is made of elm, and it cost four taels of silver to make it well. It belongs to the village, and I can't make up my own mind.

How about this, just give me a tael of silver if you are a little bit interested, and you will take it away. "

Grandpa Xiao Rong came here with them to buy a water truck, and he didn't know if the price was worth it, so he turned to Jing Wen and He Jun and asked what they thought.

He Jun feels that although the waterwheel has been used for several years, the price is still a bargain.

He remembered what Jing Xing said yesterday, requiring both a blacksmith and a carpenter to do the work, it would take time and the work would be very complicated, and it would probably cost a lot of taels of silver to do it.

Now there are ready-made ones, only a tael of silver to buy, and you can start using them immediately, which is very good.

Just as He Jun wanted to ask Jing Wen what he meant, Jing Wen spoke up.

"I think it's a good deal to buy ready-made ones."

Now the two have reached a consensus.

So the two immediately made a decision and paid Village Chief Zhou a tael of silver.

The money was paid, and the waterwheel was also bought, but how to transport it back was a problem.

Although this hand-operated waterwheel is not very big, it cannot fit in the long carriage.

Besides, there were He Jun, Xiao Rong and his grandfather sitting in the carriage, even if it fit, it would be crowded enough.

Seeing He Jun struggling with how to carry the water tanker, Grandpa Xiaorong asked Village Chief Zhou for help.

"This waterwheel is so old and long, how can it be transported back to Ewan Village? Think of a way."

Village Chief Zhou: "Then I'll just be a good person to the end and do it for your cousin's sake.

I'll call four villagers to help you move back later.

You go back in the carriage first, and it will be moved there for you in a short period of time. "

He Jun was overjoyed and thanked Village Chief Zhou.

Because Jing Wen bought the water truck relatively smoothly and was in a good mood, when he returned, he drove the three of them back to Ewan Village in a leisurely carriage.

When passing through a secluded valley, He Jun saw a farmer lighting straw to smoke something.

When the farmer saw Jing Wen, they kindly reminded them.

"Hey, don't go there first. There is a big bee nest on the mountain wall, and there are a lot of wasp swarms biting bees. I am burning smoke to drive them away. You go later, or you will be stung by wasps." Not good."

As soon as Jing Wen heard this, he stopped the horse and got out of the carriage and hurried away to get away from the smoky smoke and wasps.

He Jun saw bees everywhere in the sky, probably because the wasps attacked in swarms, and the smog filled the air, making these bees swarm like a leaderless dragon.

He Jun knows that wasps are one of the biggest natural enemies of bees.

The wasps catch the bees and bring them back to the hive to feed their larvae.

If many horse peaks invade the hive, it will be devastating to the bees, and the larvae in the hive and the worker bees who have no time to escape will become the meal of the wasps.

He Jun was once stung by a wasp when he was a child, and the sting pain made He Jun feel lingering fear now, so he hated the wasp to the bone.

He couldn't help sympathizing with the bee attacked by the wasp.

At this time, in front of He Jun, several hornets were pinching a bee that was much larger than ordinary worker bees.

He Jun suspected that this oversized bee might be their queen bee.

... Once the queen bee is killed, the bee colony will really be messed up, no, I can't let this disgusting hornet kill the queen bee.

He Jun quickly took off his coat and put it on his head, and took off a long branch from a nearby tree, and hit the wasps chasing the queen bee.

Jing Wen shouted from behind: "Jun He, come back quickly, there are too many hornets, be careful not to sting you."

He Jun scattered the few wasps, and the queen bee was smoked by the smoke in front and stung by the wasps, and fell straight in front of He Jun's shoes.

He Jun... the queen bee won't just die like this?

He stepped forward and carefully picked up the queen bee and held it in his hand to watch.

Seeing that its thin wings are still trembling slightly, it may have lost the strength to fly after the battle with the wasp just now.

Jing Wen hurried over and asked, "Didn't I tell you not to run around? There were so many wasps just now, so you didn't get stung."

"No, I just hate hornets, they eat honey bees, I saved this one just now, it is probably the queen bee.

You see it is so big, the hive on its side has been completely occupied by wasps, and the worker bees are dead and injured, and there are not many injuries left. Even if the queen bee stays here, she will be lonely. I will take it back and forget it. . "

Jing Wen smiled helplessly and teased He Jun.

"You, seeing injustice on the road, drew your sword to help a bee, but you are so kind, there must be rewards, all right, let's go back quickly."

The smoke dispersed the bees and wasps in the sky, and the farmer took down the hive on the stone wall, and he had taken most of the honey and was about to throw it away.

He Jun came forward to ask for it. The queen bee is very pitiful, the worker bees are basically dead, and there is only this hive left. Let's keep it and take it back and give the queen bee a thought!

So He Jun and the others returned home with a dying queen bee and a hive.

After about half an hour, four farmers really moved the waterwheel.

He Jun really wanted to see the effect of using the water wheel.

Jing Wen called Yuanming, together with Xiaorong and He Jun, the four of them carried the waterwheel together to Yueming Ridge, and installed the waterwheel according to the steps.

The hand-operated waterwheel is indeed long enough, and fortunately the pond is only a dozen steps away from the slope of Yueming Ridge.

The hand-operated waterwheel is placed by the pond and the length is just enough to reach the edge of Yuemingling Mountain.

After the water wheel was installed, He Jun and Jing Wen stepped forward and excitedly shook the handle of the water wheel, and saw the water in the pond began to flow to the hillside.

"Ha, it worked, next time I don't need to carry buckets of water from the pond, it will be much more convenient to water the fruit trees.

Jing Wen, tell Jing Xing to quickly build a few large water tanks, put them in and catch the water. "

Xiaorong and Yuanming thought it was very interesting, and they all stepped forward to operate the waterwheel.

He Jun remembered that there was a queen bee in his arms, and he carefully took out the queen bee.

Then put it in the beehive he brought back, and then he looked left and right, where should he choose to put the beehive?

He Jun suddenly saw a golden osmanthus tree on the mountain. There was a thick golden osmanthus tree in front of him. There was a tree hole in its trunk. If there is one, put it on the golden osmanthus tree.

He Jun originally wanted to place the beehives on his own fruit trees, but the fruit saplings are very small just after planting, so it is safer to put them on tall golden osmanthus trees.

He Jun went to the golden osmanthus tree and wanted to put the beehive into the tree hole, but the tree was too high for him to reach.

Jing Wen came over and picked up the honeycomb and climbed up the golden osmanthus tree. He put the honeycomb into the tree hole, and then climbed down.

"The honeycomb has been placed for you, and the waterwheel has been installed, are you satisfied? Junjun."

He Jun felt sweet when he heard Xiao Junjun from Jing Wen's mouth... Why did Jing Wen call him so affectionate, his heart almost jumped out, but he felt quite happy.

Because it took a lot of effort for everyone to move the water truck, Jing Wen was in a strong body and was very afraid of the heat and sweated a lot.

He felt uncomfortable with the wet clothes sticking to his body, so he took off all the clothes on his body in front of He Jun, and only wore a pair of trousers.

He Jun is still reminiscing about that intimate address beautifully.

When he turned his head, he saw Jing Wen was shirtless, standing in front of him, hanging his clothes on the branches to dry.

He Jun inadvertently saw the wheat-colored skin on Jing Wen's body. It may be because he has been used to doing things for a long time, so the muscles on his body are tight, the lines are smooth, and the curves are distinct.

Just looking at He Jun's face turned red, he quickly turned his face away and didn't dare to look again... This Jing Wen's figure is too good.

And I have always looked like a bean sprouts, and there is no comparison between the thin and strong Jing Wen.

Jing Wen saw He Jun blushing, and turned around shyly... Why is He Jun shy when he sees himself naked.

Jing Wen suddenly thought of teasing him.
