Chapter 149 Repairing Canals and Diverting Water
The resolution of the Fangcheng incident can be said to have resolved a scourge in Kushui County, and the master who had disappeared for a long time also reappeared.

It's just that after so much experience, the master seems to have seen through it. He is not young anymore and can no longer bear any trouble. After returning to Kushui County, he resolutely resigned from his position as master and found a place to open a private school.

The reason why Kushui County is difficult is that it is prone to drought due to the terrain. Even the upland rice that Song Qingyou brought out needs a certain amount of water. Before the county magistrate was bewitched by Fangcheng and did not believe in Song Qingyou, so many of her ideas could not be used. Currently, Kushui County Cui Xizhuo had the final say, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to do something.

Looking at Song Qingyou's simple drawings about drinking water irrigation, Cui Xizhuo couldn't help but be amazed. He thought that this sister-in-law only knew a little bit of medical skills, but she didn't expect to know these ingenious tricks.

Returning the blueprint to Song Qingyou, Cui Xizhuo said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Drinking water irrigation can increase food production, which is a great thing for the country and the people. Madam, just let go and do it!"

The first thing to do when building a canal is to find a water source, but this kind of thing is definitely not easy for people with only theoretical knowledge and no practical experience. After waking up early and staying late for several days, there was almost no progress. Song Qingyou began to think of another way. .

It has been a long time since they made a big fuss in the cell, and Song Qingyou came to the cave where the white wolf took them to shelter again. The ashes from that day were still there, but there was no sign of the white wolf.

"Brother Wolf?" Song Qingyou called out tentatively in the cave. The only response she received was the echo reflected from the stone wall. Then she shouted outside the cave entrance.

"Aww——"

Soon, a wolf howl came from nowhere.

Immediately after a rustling sound, a tall white wolf jumped down from a cliff and landed smoothly.

"woohoo"

While whining, the white wolf put his head against Song Qingyou.

"Okay, okay~ I know!" Song Qingyou tried her best to stabilize her body, touched the white wolf's ears to comfort her, and then peeled off the fur to check carefully to make sure that the previous injury was completely healed, and finally felt relieved.

Cheng Yuxi, who was watching the interaction of one man and one wolf, was stunned inwardly. All things have spirits, and the ancients did not deceive me.

After playing with Song Qingyou for a while, the white wolf finally noticed Cheng Yuxi, sniffed it with his nose, and immediately showed his fangs, pawing the ground with sharp wolf claws.

"Be good, be good!" Song Qingyou hugged Bai Lang quickly, and explained: "Although she was with that bad guy before, she is a good guy and my friend now, so it can't be like this."

There was bright doubt in the white wolf's eyes, and he tilted his head to look at Song Qingyou. What a wolf, it was just a husky, so Song Qingyou couldn't help rubbing its ears.

The comfortable white wolf squinted his eyes and put down his vigilance.

After playing for a while, Song Qingyou finally remembered today's business, and said to the white wolf, "Do you know where there is water near here?"

After hearing this, the white wolf squatted down and swept his tail.

Cheng Yuxi couldn't help but said, "Are you sure it can understand?"

Who would have thought that right after Bai Lang finished speaking, he bared his teeth at her again.

Song Qingyou spread his hands and said, "Look, it understands."

The white wolf squatted for a while, licked its paws and stood up, throwing Song Qingyou and the idiom on their backs, and after a gust of wind and lightning, a pool of water appeared in front of them.

Song Qingyou, who had already experienced it once, adapted well, while Cheng Yuxi felt motion sickness for a long time, stumbled to the side and retched.

The "culprit" White Wolf lay down leisurely and started licking his fur, making Song Qingyou wonder if this guy did it on purpose.

This pool formed a natural stream along the terrain. Song Qingyou walked all the way down the stream, and was delighted to find that the end of the stream was just in the southeast corner of Kushui County, and the follow-up only needed to repair the end.

Without further ado, Song Qingyou wrote down the route, and Bai Lang sent the two of them back.

The next day, there was another notice at the gate of the city, and this time there was a yamen servant yelling, "In order to solve the drought in the fields, the imperial envoy decided to build canals to divert water. Now we need to recruit craftsmen. Participants can have a bucket of grain every day."

Soon, many people gathered at the gate of the city. Originally, the food was almost harvested. In the past, everyone used to go to the nearby rich towns to do some groceries to subsidize their families. Now there are nearby, and they sign up one after another. It will be enough soon. .

The place where the stream dries up is located in the southeast corner of the county, some distance away from the fields, but fortunately the terrain is flat. Song Qingyou divided the people who signed up into three waves, and they worked in three shifts every day. After a while, a winding river took shape.

Afterwards, wood was cut from nearby mountains, polished to a suitable size according to the drawings, and laid on the river. The stream flowed smoothly to the fields.

Many elderly farmers shed tears involuntarily when they saw this scene. They had relied on the sky for their whole lives, and they never expected to see such a scene one day. Some even knelt down directly in front of Song Qingyou.

This frightened Song Qingyou, and quickly helped him up.

The old man was very stubborn, "Miss Song must be a messenger sent by God. She not only helped us cure the plague but also allowed us to have enough to eat. This worship of Miss Song is worth it!"

After the first one, there was a second one, and then everyone started to do it, leaving Song Qingyou at a loss as to what to do.

Cheng Yuxi has been wearing it since he was a child, and he adapts to some things better than Song Qingyou. He said, "You can let them bow. This can be considered a way of gratitude."

Song Qingyou had no choice but to accept it.

With the help of Song Qingyou, the people of Kushui County gradually got better. Cui Xizuo also learned from some people what she did during the plague, and became more and more curious about this lady-in-law. Why was such a magical woman in the capital before? Haven't heard of it?

On the official road leading to Kushui, a young man in plain clothes was galloping, followed by a few servants. When the several people rode their horses into a valley, the horse suddenly lost control and fell to the ground, and the rider was thrown out.

"Hahaha" a burst of joking laughter sounded from the valley.

Suddenly, many people appeared above the valley, holding various weapons in their hands, laughing at the fallen people.

"you!"

The man who fell to the ground finally came back to his senses, and was about to speak when he was held back by the servant behind him, and said in a low voice, "My lord, don't be impulsive. I heard that there is a group of vicious bandits near Kushui County, but they usually only seek money."

The young man disagreed, "How can I be afraid of these bandits!"

It turned out that this group of people was the newly appointed magistrate of Kushui County by the imperial court. The young man's name was Wang Hang, and he was this year's new scholar.
