Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1359 Famine and Natural Disaster 518
The Ning Qing brothers were worried, and Ning Yi said, "If grandpa can't walk, the grandson can carry him."

Ning Qing nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Ming Yi, "Madam Cheng, let's set off."

"Let's go!"

At Mingyi's command, everyone returned to the mountainside and continued along the original planned route.

The best option is to dig a channel from the mountainside, and this choice must also take into account the terrain and the surrounding geological environment; it will not work in sandy areas, and it will not work in areas prone to landslides, so you have to choose a route with harder geology to dig a channel.

Once opened, Pingyang Pass will be able to open a waterway, passing through the Huoshui River and then splitting into two routes from the Huoshui River; one side of the Huoshui River connects to the Danshui River, running through the northwest; the other side is the sea, and this route can be used to enter the sea.

When passing through a canyon with beautiful natural scenery, Mingyi and Grandpa Ning carefully checked the geology and found that it was relatively solid, so they marked this road on the map; this is a must-pass place during development.

"Madam Cheng, along the way, we found three places with loose geology, which are not suitable for digging canals and rivers. We have to take detours to those three places, and I have already marked them out." Grandpa Ning showed her the newly customized drawings and explained them one by one.

Ning Qing, Ning Ru and Ning Yi participated in the whole process and gained a lot from their father.

Mingyi listened carefully. The old man of the Ning family had a broad mind and a comprehensive understanding of water conservancy. He was indeed a capable official who had worked diligently for decades. He said, "The old man is thorough and careful. From now on, he will be in charge of the survey. If you need anything, just let me know. Mingyi will do my best to meet your needs."

"I will not let Madam Cheng down. Thank you Madam Cheng for giving me and my family an opportunity to display our strengths." After walking for so long, the old man finally understood the kind nature of the young girl from the Cheng family.

"Your words are sincere. What you are doing is for the country and the people, and for the benefit of future generations. As long as you accomplish this, your contribution will be remembered for generations to come."

The digging of a good canal benefits the country and the people, as it provides an additional transportation route; it may not necessarily be recorded in history, for the Grand Canal that she had seen once benefited the entire country for thousands of years, and the achievements of its diggers will be remembered by people.

Old Master Ning's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at his three children and grandchildren, and his expression changed slightly.

"If this is true, my life on earth is not in vain."

The old man was a wise man, he understood what should and should not be done; he could pave the way for his children and grandchildren, but he could not let them reap the fruits of their labor. Just now, he had a fleeting thought of raising his children and grandchildren, but he rejected the idea in an instant.

Ning Qing is rigid and upright, Ning Ru is not capable enough and has insufficient experience in water conservancy; the eldest grandson Ning Yi is too young, and is truly an upright gentleman, but his abilities and temperament need to be honed.

It would not be a long-term plan to pave the way for these three children and grandchildren. It would be better to let them work hard to make a good future and leave a good impression in front of Madam Cheng and the Young Master.

For the sake of his success, the Crown Prince and Madam Cheng will not mistreat their three children and grandchildren unfairly.

In an instant, countless thoughts came to mind.

After walking for another half a day, they settled on an open plain before nightfall.

Under the campfire.

Grandpa Ning and his children and grandchildren rubbed the map again and again, repeatedly trying to figure out the feasibility.

Once I find something wrong, I will tick it off and plan to explore it more carefully on my return trip.

At night, they ate barbecue and drank coarse grain and wild vegetable porridge cooked with dry food. After eating and drinking, they washed up and went to rest.

In the middle of the night, Mingyi was sleeping in a daze. In a trance, she seemed to see a pair of green eyes. Suddenly, all sleepiness disappeared.

"Haunted?"

When she woke up, her confusion was gone and her mind was clear; she looked carefully and saw a pair of fierce and sharp eyes with green light in the night.

It wasn't a haunted place at all; they were clearly being targeted by a pack of wolves.

If the campfire had not been extinguished, the wolves would have rushed over long ago.

Mingyi stood up, walked to the campfire, and picked up a burning stick; he woke up Yu Shiwei and others first, and then the Ning family.

Wake up Guard Yu first because they have the ability to protect themselves. The Ning family does not have the ability to protect themselves and can only rely on these guards.

"Mrs. Cheng"

Guard Yu and others surrounded Cheng Mingyi, and the Ning family became incidental.

"Look around." Everyone raised their heads and looked around. The view from where they were resting was wide, and in the darkness they could just barely see the wolf heads behind the pairs of eyes.

There were so many of them, at least hundreds of them.

"Wolf!!!"

"Captain, we are surrounded by wolves."

"When did so many wolves come?" The guard who spoke was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, his back felt cold, and he couldn't speak clearly.

The guards turned around on their own, not daring to delay for a moment, and turned their backs to Ming Yi and the Ning family, surrounding them in a protective circle.

Draw your sword and be ready to resist at any time.

"Fortunately, Madam Cheng didn't fall asleep, otherwise, we would have died here silently without even knowing it."

"Protect the young lady and Mr. Ning and the others, and cooperate with them."

"clear."

"Captain, I know."

The guards were always alert and took the time to reply.

"The bonfire is still there, and they are watching now. Everyone calm down and be composed!" Guard Yu was alert and comforting his people at the same time.

No one said anything else, just stared at the wolf in their sight.

Mingyi bent down and felt around on the grass, picking up a handful of words.

Old Master Ning looked down at her and fumbled around for a while. In the end, he just picked up a handful of stones and asked anxiously, "Madam Cheng, what are you doing?"

"Pick up some stones to protect yourself." Mingyi held out his hand, "Do you want some?"

Mr. Ning:
Hey!
Can stones be used for self-defense?
Even if you tell it to a ghost, the ghost won’t believe it.

"If you like it, you can take it." Old Master Ning felt sad. Is he going to die here today?

His great undertaking was only a little advanced.

The three children and grandchildren are the pillars of the family. If they die, what will happen to the women in the family?
For a moment, Mr. Ning's heart was filled with uneasiness and unwillingness.

"You guys hide behind me for a while, don't show your head, and just watch quietly." Mingyi said.

Old Master Ning was so moved that his eyes turned red. "We are grown men, why do we need a little girl like you to stand in front of us? If we can get through this disaster, I will do my best to dig a large canal, which will not only solve the water resource problem of Pingyang Pass, but also connect the water transport route of Pingyang Pass."

All in all, the old man's thoughts went from his achievements to his family, and finally he focused on serving the people and the development of the Northwest.

Mingyi had no intention of exploring the old man's thoughts. Even if she knew, she would just smile.

As a human being, it is normal to have selfish desires.

There are not many true saints. It is already very good if one can constantly transform his thoughts into positive thoughts and give out positive energy.

People are not afraid of the five poisons, but what is sad is that many people are unaware of them and stubbornly believe that whatever they do is right; no matter how good others are to them, it is not too much, but when something goes wrong, they blame the heavens, the earth, and others instead of looking for the reasons in themselves.

If you are innocent and right, then nothing you do is excessive.

If you are obviously wrong, but you don't think you are wrong and think you are right, this obsession will only get deeper and deeper.

"coming!"
