The current rain can be said to be very heavy, but compared to the storm at the beginning, it is still much smaller.

In this rain, the visibility is only about 15 to 20 meters. In this case, I'm not very worried, the person hiding in the shadows, or any other person or ghost that exists, can see where we go.

The small ditch in the alley usually doesn't look very obvious, but now, under this kind of downpour, as long as you look closely, you can still clearly distinguish its direction.

When we ran into this small alley, we were in a hurry, and when we walked out, we realized that we had run such a long distance in this small alley.

We are now walking along this small alley, the atmosphere is a little boring, Zheng Qian's words broke the calm in the noisy wind and rain:

"Dao Chief, you just said that the drainage system of this village is advanced?" "

Mmmm, yes, did you see it, even if it is pouring so heavily now, and it has lasted for so long, we are walking in this small alley now, and the water has not flooded my shoes." With such heavy rain, if it had been in the new village in the urban village where I used to rent, it is estimated that the dirt road outside the house would already be waist-deep muddy water. "

Well, the ancients still had wisdom!" "

Haha~ The wisdom of the ancients is something that modern people can understand! However, I don't think it's that modern people don't have this wisdom, but that modern people are confused by monetary interests. Doing projects and projects, how to make money, how to come, there is no craftsmanship spirit of the previous people. What is made by nature is not as reliable as what the ancients made. "

Oh oh oh~ In the end, it's still the money there!" Zheng

Qian shook her head and said with a sudden realization.

"Haha, you're still smart. At the end of the day, it's really the money that's at work. If the price for modern people is high enough, and the speed of payment for the project is fast enough, you will be able to create a century-old project in seconds.

"So is this village a 100-year project?"

"Quite possibly." When I came in, I observed. Although the houses and bricks in this village are similar in style, the degree of newness and brokenness is different. Therefore, this village is not made in a while, but has gone through many generations, generation after generation, and made together. Therefore, it is estimated that this is a very important place, and therefore, the craftsmen here are going to engage in such an awesome drainage project. "

Oh oh,"

we chatted as we followed the direction of the ditch and walked out of the alley.

After walking about 50 meters from this small alley, we reached the road that was more than 2 meters wide where we went in circles.

The ditch, when it reaches this road, flows into the ditch on the right side of the road. When we passed by before it started to rain, we didn't notice that on the right side of the road there was a small ditch dug with granite on it, and every half a meter there would be a drain.

The water on the roads and the rainwater pouring down the roofs all come together and flow through the drainage holes one by one into the ditches below.

Now we are tracking the direction of the water, and it is not as easy as in the alleys. Because the ditches here are different from the ditches in the alleys, and the ditches in the alleys are all open channels that are easy to trace. But now these ditches on this road are all culverts, so it is more difficult to trace.

First, the ditches are buried underneath granite slabs and connected together by narrow gaps 2 cm wide and 20 cm long in the pavement. This makes it a little difficult for us to find.

Second, finding the ditch is not the end, because our goal is not to find the ditch, but to find the direction of the water. The devil knows whether the flow of water in these ditches, which are covered by granite slabs, will flow in the direction of our left hand side or our right hand side.

The first thing we thought of was to crouch down and look down at the 2-centimeter-wide gap and look down at the culvert below.

But now it's too dark outside, and you can't see much on the road, let alone inside this ditch. And there is also water flowing down from this crevice, blocking the direction of the flow of water in the ditch below.

But fortunately, we have a flashlight, turn on the strong flashlight, and look for these crevices, and after careful observation for a while, we can still see which direction the water flow underneath is flowing. But that's not a thing after all. It's too time-consuming.

When I was at a loss for the dispute, Zheng Yan suddenly said

, "Dao Chief, I have a way."

After saying that, Zheng Yan picked up a small piece of bluestone slab debris from the ground, and then she took out the rope just now from her backpack, tied the broken stone to the telescopic end, and then slowly lowered the stone from this gap.

"Dao Chief, use the strong flashlight to shine!" Zheng

Yan said to me.

"Uh-huh!"

I turned on the flashlight and shone it down towards the gap. Naturally, the stones below are not visible. But we can clearly see that the rope is tilting towards our left-hand position, washed by the stones and the current.

"Haha! Well, the water in this ditch is flowing towards our left-hand position. "

In this way, every time we pass a small granite crevice, we measure it in this way. Later, because the gap in the drainage was really dense, we changed to check the flow of water every two gaps.

We walked unhurriedly towards the front, knowing that we had come to the place where we had been in the rain, the three-way junction of the middle well.
