Spatial medical concubine, taking the whole family to farm

Chapter 42 Xiao Hong is going to die

The patriarch's beard was almost bald, but seeing Xiao Ningxue still put away her sorrow, her eyes were full of kindness.

"I know that Xue girl is worried about everyone, but everyone has thought of the method that should be thought of. Is there any other way to divert water into the canal?"

Xiao Ningxue narrowed her almond eyes slightly, and had an idea.

"When Ah Wen went to Dingxi, he drew a picture for me, saying that as long as the thing is built according to that picture, water can be diverted into the canal."

"Is Ah Wen going to Dingxi?" The patriarch was surprised for a moment, then realized after a moment, and stood up awkwardly, "Xue girl, what did you say? Say it again?"

Xiao Ningxue repeated what she said just now.

After hearing this, the patriarch seemed to see a savior, and stroked his beard excitedly.

"Great, that's great! Everyone's fields are saved."

"Then we have to quickly make this water diversion thing to solve the urgent need, girl Xue, what materials do I need? I'll let everyone prepare to go."

Xiao Ningxue made an estimate: "Twenty pieces of wood and seven or eight pieces of bamboo should be picked as big as possible. In addition, if you want to make it as soon as possible, you need to find more carpenters."

"Okay, okay, I'll do it now." The patriarch was so happy that he staggered, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "It's getting late, you should go home and sleep."

"Good patriarch, grandpa." Xiao Ningxue responded, calling Xiao Yue home.

Xiao Yue stepped forward and took Xiao Ningxue's arm.

"Xiao Ningxue, you're not bragging, are you? How powerful is your Ah Wen? Can you really use wood to make water diversions?"

"It's not that bad, you'll know when it's done!" Xiao Ningxue said with a smile, she also regards Xiao Yue as her sister now, without her, Ah Wen's legs might have been paralyzed.

"That's right!" Xiao Yue scratched her forehead, then looked at Xiao Ningxue with a smile, "Hey, since your Ah Wen is not here, how about I go to keep you company tonight?"

"I need company for my guts?"

"Hey, let's put it this way, ever since Sister Mengyao's body was placed in the backyard, I can't sleep well at night, so I just want to come over and squeeze with you so that I can sleep well."

"Okay." Xiao Ningxue did not refuse, "But if your mother comes to the door and drags you back, don't blame me." "No, she and my father went to the town to greet the second uncle."

The two talked, went back to the old house, washed up and went to sleep.

"Wow, your bed smells so good." Xiao Yue rolled over on the bed, "It smells even better than Xiao Mengyao's room, Amen, why mention her if you have nothing to do!"

Xiao Ningxue also blew out the lamp and went to bed. She slept in the south room. Xiao Ningxue had just unpacked and washed the bedding, and sprayed on some perfume, which really smelled good.

Xiao Yue couldn't fall asleep when she smelled it, she lay on the bed with her chin propped up, and started gossip with Xiao Ningxue.

"Xiao Xiaoyu's leg is really paralyzed. She didn't see her scolding me when I pricked her with a needle that day. Yesterday, my second aunt took her to the town and knelt outside the security hall to ask the doctor Xue to treat her. The doctor Xue didn't even show her face."

"Really? Then they didn't wake up. Why did Miracle Doctor Xue save everyone but not her?"

Xiao Ningxue fanned the wind with a fan, her tone was calm.

Xiao Yue sneered: "Wake up again? Will they? When they came back, they scolded Miracle Doctor Xue for being inhuman, and said that next time they would throw his feces."

After a pause, his tone was full of admiration and he said: "I heard that Miracle Doctor Xue is under 16 years old, he is more handsome than your Awen, and his medical skills are very good, Sai Dongshi became like that, and he recovered after taking his medicine! Oh, if only I could marry him!'

Xiao Ningxue's head was covered with black lines.

"If you want to marry so much, hurry up and ask your mother to tell you about your in-law's family. The doctor Xue will definitely not want you. What else can you do besides feed pigs?"

Xiao Yue felt sad for a moment, but immediately cheered up, and gently pushed Xiao Ningxue's arm.

"Hey, Xiao Ningxue, why don't you teach me the autopsy? Then everyone will look at me with admiration. Maybe Doctor Xue will give me another look."

"One look? I still look at you ten times. If you are so timid, do you dare to do an autopsy?"

"Uh~~ I don't dare." Xiao Yue thought about it seriously, and then languished.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head full of gossip.

"Hey, do you sleep with your Awen?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ningxue replied carelessly, "It's inconvenient to take care of her if she doesn't sleep in a room."

But I wondered in my heart, did she take care of Awen at night? It seemed that she never did, she always hugged his arm or lay in his arms, and slept until dawn.

Sleeping with a handsome man is so good!
"Then you, shouldn't you have already
"What are you thinking about? It's nothing. I didn't even kiss each other. They all sleep in their own way. Xiao Yue, if you are curious about these things, be careful and I will kick you out of bed."

Xiao Yue tightly shut her mouth, rolled inside and slept obediently with the bedding in her arms.

Xiao Ningxue tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Has Ah Wen arrived in Dingxi? Did he encounter danger on the way? The little water monsters he brought were hanging behind, didn't they bite his ass?
After thinking about this, I couldn't help thinking about the kiss in the cave. His kiss was gentle and domineering, and the smell was particularly good. It turned out that the kiss was so beautiful and sweet!
Xiao Ningxue thought beautifully, and fell asleep unknowingly.After a dream is finished, the sky will be bright.

There was a lot of noise outside the house, and from time to time the patriarch of the Xiao clan yelled.

"Put the wood here, and the bamboo there, just lightly, don't crack!"

"Hey, you guys who watch the excitement~~ go out, what are you doing in the courtyard?"

"Carpenter Zhang, Carpenter Wang, don't leave, you will be busy when girl Xue gets up."

The patriarch led a large group of people, and brought wood and bamboo, as well as a dozen carpenters.

Not only that, more than half of the village's people were holding their rice bowls, and the courtyards were filled with water.

Everyone was very curious about the son-in-law from the capital that Xiao Shan picked up for his daughter, but some people believed his words, and some did not.

"I don't believe it. A few pieces of wood and bamboo can make a water diversion thing? This is a bit outrageous."

"If you don't believe me, he's from the capital, and he's well-informed."

Anyway, believe it or not, they all looked around with excitement, hoping that this thing could be made at once, so that everyone can take a good look at how the water is diverted.

Under the eager expectation of the whole village, eleven carpenters spent three days under the guidance of Xiao Ningxue, erecting a huge waterwheel at the water inlet of the canal.

Two or three-story houses are equipped with a bamboo tube runner, half of which is above the water surface and half submerged in the water. The big wheel slowly rotates under the impact of the water flow, and brings the bamboo tube filled with water to the highest point. At this time, the mouth of the tube is tilted. , The water poured into the sink and flowed into the ditch.

It does not need manpower or animal power, it can rotate by itself, day and night.

"Great, now the crops have water for irrigation."

The patriarch of the Xiao clan, Xiao Zhenwang, stood under the waterwheel, looking up at the water pouring down from the bamboo tube, and was so excited that he burst into tears, "When Ah Wen comes back, we have to thank him very much."

"Then wait for the harvest time to set up a running water mat for a day, and grandly treat Maid Xue and her husband-in-law." The village head was soaked by the water, and his face was flushed with joy.

The patriarchs with several other surnames also nodded.

"It's necessary, it's necessary. Without him and girl Xue, we would definitely have no harvest this year." The villagers cheered beside the waterwheel, all of them glowing with hope.

Under the shade of the tree, Xiao Yue looked at the huge waterwheel in amazement.

"Xiao Ningxue, your Ah Wen is too good, he can draw such a miraculous thing, tsk tsk!" Xiao Ningxue smiled and said nothing.

If it wasn't for borrowing Arwen's name, the waterwheel probably wouldn't have been built so smoothly. After all, her words might not be believed, but there is something to explain to Arwen when he comes back.

Although the waterwheel has been built, the villagers still have endless water and land to irrigate.

The corn, sorghum, and corn grown on the mountain do not need to carry water? I am still busy every day, and my shoulders are worn out by the burden, and my waist is bent.

The sky is still dry, and there is no sign of rain at all. The village head and patriarch mobilize everyone to stock up more rice and food, and it is always right to buy more things for survival.

But most people have ignored it. Seeing that there is a harvest in their own fields, who is willing to pay a high price to buy someone else's?
Early this morning, Xiao Ningxue tidied up and was about to go to the patriarch's house to borrow a ox cart to go to the town. The patriarch Xiao Zhenwang came to the door stroking his beard, and gave Xiao Ningxue a heavy purse as soon as he entered the yard.

"Girl Xue, the land you shared with your father has dried up long ago. This year, there is not even a single harvest. Take this money and go to the town to stock up on food."

He knew that Xiao Shan's little money had all gone into Old Madam Xiao's pocket, and she had no money to buy food, so the whole family discussed this and took ten taels of silver from their savings to send to Xiao Ningxue.

Xiao Ningxue was very touched. There are not many people who are willing to help you in such a famine year!
But what the patriarch didn't know was that she wasn't short of money. The Baoan Tang got a share of the medicine sales, and got back 250 taels of hard-earned money from her father from Mrs. Xiao. Speaking of which, she might be the wealthiest one in the village.

After thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes, smiled and pushed the purse back.

"Patriarch Lao is worried. When Ah Wen went to Dingxi, he left enough money for me. I am going to go to Wenjie to accompany me to the town to buy food."

"Really? You can't be polite to the patriarch's grandfather." The patriarch stroked his beard and said worriedly. "Of course it's true. Don't worry, patriarch grandpa. Awen is a businessman and has no shortage of money."

"That's good, then I'll go home and ask Wen Jie to harness the ox cart, and rush to the main road to wait for you."

After speaking, the patriarch hurried away with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Ningxue put her burden on her back and locked the door, and then she also came out. Just as she got under the old locust tree, Xiao Yue chased after her. "Xiao Ningxue, Xiao Ningxue, are you going to town? Take me by the way."

"Okay." Xiao Ningxue agreed, and asked casually, "What are you doing in town?"

"Second Uncle is about to pass away, I want to go and see him." Xiao Yue's voice choked up as she spoke.

"Didn't he beat you often? Are you still so reluctant to part with him?"

Xiao Yue's eyes were full of tears, and her face was sad.
