Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 68
Back in the house, the two sat at the table, Shen Yuexi put her hands on her chin, and listened to Xiao Zhuo's story.

"So your husband didn't kill that centurion?"

According to Xiao Zhuo's previous style, it would be right to kill him completely, why did he let the leader go?
Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly: "That man is an officer of Xirong. If you kill him directly, I am afraid that the Xirong army will come to your door tomorrow. I just forced him to swear on the spot that he would never come to Xiaogang Village again, so I let him go."

Shen Yuexi nodded with a half understanding.

That's right, if the Xirong officer is really killed, how can the Xirong army give up.

Xiao Zhuo stretched out his hand to lift a lock of hair that fell on her cheeks, with warm eyes: "Although that Xirong officer swore an oath, he couldn't swallow the breath that his son was killed. Maybe it won't be long before he makes a comeback. We must do it as soon as possible." Take precautions."

Shen Yuexi frowned, maybe there will be more than this group of people next time.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will be here soon." Xiao Zhuo seemed to see her uneasiness, and said with comforting intentions, "I have already asked the villagers to collect the weapons of the Xirong people. Start teaching them the art of fighting on the battlefield."

To guard Xiaogang Village, you can't wait for the Xirong army to come and hold your feet.

With Xiao Zhuo to consider the overall situation, she didn't have to think too much, and chatted with Xiao Zhuo about the well drilling machine in the yard.

"That's right," Xiao Zhuo reached out and touched the top of her head, and said with a smile, "If we want to develop from here, we must first solve the problem of food and water sources. I was thinking about how to deal with this matter, but my lady has already solved it."

Shen Yuexi raised the corner of her mouth triumphantly: "Look who wants to dig a well, you can take this thing out for the villagers to use."

Everyone will live in the same village in the future, and the relationship still needs to be well managed.

Xiao Zhuo was waiting for a response when suddenly there was a commotion outside the courtyard.

Shen Yuexi got up quickly and walked to the door, where Yang Cong was sweating profusely, twisting his hands, smiling and shouting back, "Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, it is Mr. Li Zheng who brought everyone to visit you."

The two greeted them out of the hospital, and saw that Lizheng had brought dozens of villagers waiting outside the door. Every villager looked at them eagerly, with expressions of admiration and admiration on their faces.

Seeing Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo coming out, Lizheng said with a smile: "Miss Pei, if it wasn't for Mr. Pei today, we would have been robbed. Accepting these things is also an apology for our previous disrespect."

After speaking, Li Zheng waved to the side, and the villagers handed over a basket with dozens of eggs in it.

Today is the first time that the Xirong people who came here were driven away.How many years of depression, once elated.Everyone proposed to thank Young Master Pei, with Li Zheng taking the lead.

Xiaogang Village has been plundered many times, and chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are the most unlucky. Every time Xirong people come, as long as they see chickens and ducks in the village, they will definitely take them away.These eggs were kept in the villager's cellar.

Of course, Shen Yuexi knew that given the current situation in Xiaogang Village, it was not easy to come up with this thank you gift.

But this was also in exchange for Xiao Zhuo, she didn't pretend to refuse, she just accepted it generously, took the basket and put it into the house, then turned and went back to the gate of the yard.

"Don't worry, my lord, everyone is disheartened when they see the imperial court ignoring them," Lizheng said with excitement, "Now that we have a backbone, the villagers of our Xiaogang village are willing to do their best to protect the village and wait for you at any time. Dispatch."

Xiao Zhuo nodded and said: "When the sun rises tomorrow, let everyone gather in the square of the village."

All the villagers shouted one after another: "I would like to listen to the young master's orders."

Everyone was arguing, and suddenly heard Yang Cong in the yard exclaiming in surprise:

"Miss Pei, come and see!"

Shen Yuexi hurriedly dragged Xiao Zhuo to Yang Cong, and the villagers outside the yard rushed into the yard with a roar.Everyone surrounded the drilling machine.

Yang Cong has already raised the drill pipe, pointing in surprise at the wet drill bit at the end, which is dripping with water.

"It's water, it's water!" Li Zheng opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.

After being in drought for so long, the feeling of seeing water is like a hungry person suddenly seeing delicious food.

"The water has been dug, that's great!" Shen Yuexi shouted happily to the surrounding villagers, "Everyone, the water has been dug, quickly expand the pit."

The drill pipe was drilled to a depth of more than ten meters, but it was only a small hole the size of an egg, and it could not fetch water.It just so happens that there are so many people here, so it’s not in vain.

The crowd burst into cheers, and they went home to pick up shovels and other things.

The news of the water being dug out spread throughout Xiaogang Village in an instant.Even the women who were cooking at home couldn't sit still, and all ran out to watch.

Before, I had to eat a bucket of water, and I had to go to the mountains to carry it back.It takes half an hour just on the road.I also have to worry about meeting Xirong soldiers.Now that water has been dug out in the village, life has suddenly become more convenient.

The small courtyard was noisy and brightly lit. Nearly a hundred people worked together, some digging and some transporting the soil.A group of villagers went down to rest when they were tired of digging, and another group of villagers continued to dig.

Shen Yuexi stood at the door of the house, holding Xiao Zhuo's arm, watching the well gradually take shape with a smile, feeling indescribably refreshed.

After spending a long time alone, she drilled a small hole half a meter deep.

With so many people digging now, she couldn't believe it so fast.

This is the unity of will.

Xiaogang Village has been harassed by Xirong all the time, and the villagers are in fear all day long.I don't care about the quality of life at all.Now with Xiao Zhuo, everyone rekindled their enthusiasm for life.

"Miss Pei," Yang Cong ran over excitedly, "someone wants to borrow a well drilling machine."

Of course, Shen Yuexi would not object, that was the original plan.In case anyone wants to drill a well, there is this simple version of the drill.

She has already taught Yang Cong how to use it, so she will just follow along and watch.

Shen Yuexi nodded: "That's right, if you need to dig a well, you can come to my house to borrow it."

She thought about it again, and added to Yang Cong, "Let them drill down directly from the head of their own well. If they don't produce water when they drill to the depth of our well, then don't continue."

Underground waterways are criss-crossed, and the depth may not be the same.

Her idea was to find a suitable place in the village and drill a well deep enough for everyone to share.

This not only solves the problem of drinking water for everyone, but also does not need to go from house to house to find water sources.

Yang Cong agreed, and together with a dozen villagers, he put down the drilling machine and carried it out from the gate of the small yard.

Although it was almost late at night, everyone was still enthusiastic.A villager emerged from the mouth of the well and shouted excitedly, "The digging is finished."

Several villagers pulled the people below to the ground, and then pulled up the ladder erected below.Li was holding a bowl of water and walked up to Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo with a smile.

"Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, look."

Shen Yuexi took a look under the moonlight, the water was yellow and muddy.It's water mixed with a lot of silt, it's undrinkable now, it has to settle first.

Is it also possible to consider asking Big Bear to make a water purifier or something?
Li Zheng smiled and said: "Tomorrow, the old man will arrange for people to lay stones in the well, so that the water will not be muddy."

Xiao Zhuo also showed a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest earlier."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhuo took Shen Yuexi's arm: "Lady, let's go back to the house."
