Chapter 66

Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong drove the ox cart to the door of the house, and moved all the things they bought into the house.

After everything was tidied up, Yang Cong straightened up, wiped off his sweat, and said to Shen Yuexi, "Miss Pei, I'll go to the foot of the mountain to see what's going on."

Shen Yuexi hastily stretched out her hand to grab her: "You can't go, the Xirong people are the one who arrested you."

She has absolute confidence in Xiao Zhuo, the best way now is to honestly hide at home.Besides, even if the two of them go, they can't help much, they can only add to the chaos.

Yang Cong asked worriedly, "Can Mr. Pei handle it alone?"

Listen to the tone, as if she can help if she goes.

"You don't know martial arts, so it's free to go."

Shen Yuexi walked into the kitchen while talking, poured rice into the newly bought pot, and then found an important point: there was no water.

I bought all kinds of rice noodles tables and chairs, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the town.I thought I bought everything, but forgot that there was a shortage of water in Xiaogang Village.

The villagers now have to go to the mountains to find water. Yesterday, they used the water she and Xiao Zhuo had brought for cooking.

But just now he promised Xiao Zhuo that he would not go out until he came back.

No way, Shen Yuexi could only sit in the yard and worry with her cheeks on her hands.

You can't do this and wait.

Yang Cong was also walking around in the yard, suddenly turned around and ran over, squatting in front of Shen Yuexi and said, "Why don't I go to the mountain to find water, and you wait at home."

Mr. Pei didn't say that she wanted to stay at home. Since Mrs. Pei couldn't go out, she had to do it.

Shen Yuexi thought for a while, then shook her head.Although Yang Cong has brute strength, he doesn't know martial arts. It would be a disaster if he meets one or two Xirong people.

Didn't she remember that every family in ancient times had a well in the yard?

So she asked Yang Cong: "Who has a well in the village, let's go to their house to borrow some water first, what do you think?"

Yang Cong said: "The drought has lasted for several months, and the wells in the village have dried up. Moreover, it costs five or six taels of silver to hire someone to dig a well. The village is full of poor people. Wherever they can afford it, they usually go to the nearby mountains for water. Go fetch some water."

Shen Yuexi stood up from the stone bench and wandered back and forth in the yard.

According to what Yang Cong said, the wells in the entire village have dried up, and now the weather is dry again, and there hasn't been a drop of rain in three months.But there is water in the mountains.It means that there is water in the ground.

In other words, as long as the well is drilled deep, water should be able to come out.

It costs five or six taels of silver to dig a well, and her pockets are now empty.And even if she wants to dig a well, she doesn't know what people here use to dig a well.

So she asked Yang Cong, "Is there anyone who specializes in digging wells?"

Yang Cong thought about it, she grew up so big, she had never seen a well-driller, and no one in the village had heard of a well-driller.

But she still knows the well diggers.

She replied honestly: "There are still people who specialize in drilling wells. But there are none in the village."

Shen Yuexi originally wanted to ask Yang Cong what those well diggers used, but now that Yang Cong looked like this, she didn't know.

As far as she knows, the simplest drilling machine needs to be composed of main engine, drill pipe and drill bit.

The main engine and the drill pipe can quickly find raw materials, but the drill bit is probably more difficult. The drill bit needs diamonds, but it is obviously too difficult to find the raw materials of diamonds now, and those things are rare.

Thinking about it is not feasible.

But that is to dig a large well, and the small well like this one still does not need the kind of well drilling machine equipped with diamond drills.

Instead, the universal manufacturing machine can be used to make a simple traction well drilling machine.

The traction type is obviously not as easy to use as the electric one, but in this ancient time when there was no electricity at all, it is worse than nothing.

"Call Big Bear and make me a towable drill."

I don't know if this kind of thing is included in the database of the universal manufacturing machine. After all, this thing has already looked like an ancient relic in her era.

She was still a little worried.

Only to hear the two-dimensional voice of Big Bear sounded again: "Dear master, we are collecting the raw materials needed for the traction well drilling machine... progress 10%... 20%... 30%, dear master, the raw materials are insufficient, and the production is interrupted .”

"Dear master, please change your location as soon as possible. Big Bear will continue to collect the raw materials needed for the traction well drilling machine and will notify you when the collection is complete."

Shen Yuexi walked out the door without saying a word.

"Collecting the raw materials needed for the traction well drilling machine... progress 40%... 50%..."

Soon, she couldn't help but raised the corners of her mouth, and then quickly wandered around the village.But it's in the village, and it's just near the yard where they live.

The big bear's voice is still going on, which is good news, it hasn't been so smooth for a long time.

"70%...80%...90%..."

As the numbers got closer, she became more and more excited, but she still pretended to be doing nothing.

Yang Cong didn't know why, so he followed her closely, lest she might be accidentally discovered by the Xirong people.

Mrs. Pei ran around like a headless chicken, not sure if she was possessed or what.She scratched her head, and really couldn't figure out what this Mrs. Pei was going to do.

Maybe Mrs. Pei was worried about her husband and decided to relieve her tension by walking?
It does look alike.

I wanted to comfort him several times, but I didn't know what to say. Mr. Pei went this time to save the people in the village, and I don't know how the Xirong people there negotiated with Mr. Pei, so they won't fight again.

"95%!"

Shen Yuexi was very happy, and the collection was about to be finished.

Almost forgot, there was Yang Cong following behind him.She had to be sent away.

She hurriedly stopped, looked at Yang Cong, and said with a worried face: "Go to the foot of the mountain and inquire about the situation of my husband and the villagers. I am really worried."

Yang Cong has long wanted to go and have a look, but because Shen Yuexi disagreed, she was too embarrassed to leave.

Her life was saved by Mr. Pei and his wife, and she will give her life to them both in the future. She will never break her promise about what Mr. Pei told her.

Hearing that Shen Yuexi asked her to go to the front to inquire about news, how could she refuse, but she was still a little worried about Shen Yuexi's safety.

Shen Yuexi couldn't see her worries, and smiled to comfort her: "I will go home right away, and I will never go out for half a step."

The well drilling machine is about to be manufactured, there is no need to mess around.

She wished she could go back immediately so that the well could be drilled immediately to solve their draft water problem.

Yang Cong took another look around and saw that there was no one around, so he left in peace.

Shen Yuexi ran around the yard again.

Big Bear's milky voice rang happily in her mind:
"Dear master, the raw materials for the traction well drilling machine have been collected."
