Chapter 361 These People Are Really Obedient
Chapter 360 These People Are Really Obedient

These lads are very afraid of him lately.Because he doesn't talk much.It's the master's grandfather, who knows how he will tell the master what he did wrong.

But Xuejian found that grandpa was a little different recently, it seemed that sometimes he didn't know what to think, and stared blankly at the field in a daze.On the contrary, Mrs. Wang had talked about it a few times before meeting Xue.He said that he didn't know how the spring plowing of the several acres of land at home was going this year.Is the eldest family doing well?There is no old Mr. Shen at home here, I am afraid that Mr. Shen is the only one farming the land.Both Xuejian's family and Shen Erzhu's family had heard about Xuejian, and most of them were rented out to other laborers in the village.

Xue Jian understands that when people get old, they always miss home, and when they come out, they only stay for a while and feel homesick.I also miss my younger brothers and sisters at home. I have brought them up for a few months, and now I have some feelings for them.

In the afternoon, Xue Jian found time to talk to the third senior brother about the arrival of the senior senior brother.He also said that the second senior brother may have a letter recently, and it may be sent through the third senior brother at first.

Speaking of Xuejian's second senior brother, he is the one who has the most true knowledge of old man Mo's martial arts.At a young age, his status in the martial arts is very high.This height is achieved by speaking with fists.Coupled with being human and righteous, Xue Jian always listens to the third senior brother telling the past of the second senior brother, and Xue Jian is fascinated by hearing it!

That kind of happy rivers and lakes, that kind of pride and courage.It is exactly what Xue Jian, who has a hero complex, yearns for.It's just that I still can't leave this home, and I haven't been able to meet the second senior brother who can't see the end of the dragon.

But what Xue Jian didn't know was that the third senior brother was not afraid of the second senior brother, but only afraid of the dark-bellied elder brother.But the younger senior brother Murong Xing was just the opposite, he was most afraid of the second senior brother.But he is always naughty in front of his elder brother.Of course, now that there is a little junior sister Xue Jian, there is no need for him to be favored.

So when he mentioned that the second senior brother had a letter for Xue Jian, Qiu Yuan nodded repeatedly, expressing that he would turn around in time.Qiu Yuan also went to look at Xue Jian's shed. Like Lian Quchen, he couldn't tell which was grass and which was a seedling.After looking at it, he was kicked out by Xuejian.

But what interested Qiu Yuan the most was the ditch dug by Xue Jian's painting. After staying here for two days, Qiu Yuan walked all these ditch back and forth several times.Say it every time you go:
"Xue'er, how did you come up with it?"

In the past two days, all the ditches have been dug.Xuejian went to check it out in person, only the big ditch hadn't opened the mouth facing the river yet.As long as it is opened, the water will rush in.

Xue Jian had asked Lao Niutou and the others to build the big iron fence to be used at the river mouth.Xuejian was still using a hook to block the iron fence at the mouth of the river.This can block some larger garbage floating down in the river.If you want to store water in the future, you only need to block the wooden boards on the iron fence.

After finishing the river mouth, all the old and young men in the village gathered beside the ditch to see how to let the river flow.After Pang Panghu broke away the last stone by the river, the river water rushed in, rushed into the ditch, and quickly flowed down the ditch. The children in the village followed the water along the ditch to chase, Obviously they couldn't catch up, but Old Man Mo and Xue Jian could.Old man Mo and Xue Jian chased the river to the bottom of the ditch.There is also an iron fence at the bottom of the ditch here.Beyond the fence is a stream.Usually there is only a little water, and only when there is mountain water flowing down during the flood season will it rise a little bit.

The water flowed very fast, and Song Gentu led people to guard the water outlet.After a while, I saw Xuejian and old man Mo chasing the water.Song Gentu heard from his wife that the girl from the main family knows martial arts, so he really saw it.I didn't expect this white-haired old man to be a great master.

Xue Jian rushed to the bottom of the ditch and watched the water flow smoothly the whole way, and slowly rising.The water that rushed over was still a little cloudy at first, but after a while, the water was clear and bright again.Xue Jian couldn't help but lament that the water without pollution is good in this day and age.

When the water was available, the whole village cheered. Pang Panghu laughed loudly and said:
"Why are you so happy now? Wait, our boss still has a way to get water from the big ditch to the small ditch. This way we don't have to carry water. Then you can be happy again."

The villagers hurriedly asked:

"When? When will it be done?"

Turning back, Xue Jian's face was flushed, and she said with a smile:
"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, people from all households remember to bring out a piece of cloth with a brighter color. It doesn't need to be too big, just the size of the usual aunts' buns. But it's better to have a brighter color."

A peasant woman laughed loudly and said:

"Ms. Master, don't you want us to wrap the water in a small ditch?"

Everyone laughed aloud.Xuejian didn't care about the aunt's joke, and deliberately said mysteriously:
"Anyway, I'll find out tomorrow. Remember, at least two people from each family will come tomorrow, even if one of them is a child, as long as they can run and report letters."

"Okay! The girl is still playing tricks. I see, many people can't sleep tonight."

Everyone laughed again.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuejian was already an early riser. She had just returned to the manor after practicing the exercises, when she heard the commotion outside. When she opened the door, there were quite a few people standing on the road outside.Xue Jian was a little speechless and said:

"Why are you so early? Go back, it's too early and too cold. Don't freeze the children. Don't worry, it won't take much time. Go back first, and you can come at the end of the morning."

Some people listened to the persuasion and went back, while some stubbornly stayed.

Xuejian asked her grandpa to try out the water wheel that she had made yesterday afternoon, and it looked okay.So after breakfast.Xuejian opened the door and called in Pang Panghu and Song Gentu:

"The two of you will come in and help my grandfather carry this water tanker. Listen to my grandfather's instructions. Now let's go out and tell everyone something."

Xue Jian stood to go out, there was a step in front of the door, Xue Jian was short, and the platform on the step was just right for talking.Seeing Xue Jian came out, everyone turned around and looked at Xue Jian.

Xuejian raised her hand and said loudly:
"Everyone, uncles and aunts, please be quiet and listen to me before I finish speaking. You can't interrupt me when I'm speaking, you know?"

"Well, girl, go ahead. We'll stop talking."

"Okay, girl."

Everyone in the audience looked at Xue Jian enthusiastically, waiting for Xue Jian to speak.Everyone was afraid that they had missed a word.They are all listening.

Xue Jian smiled and said:
"Okay, then listen everyone, have you brought all the colored cloth I told you to prepare yesterday?"

No one below answered.But all waved the cloth on their hands, Xue Jian laughed.These people are really obedient, and they don't speak at all if they can't speak.But looking at the cloth they brought, it's okay.All colored, all okay.
