There is room for the evil peasant woman

Chapter 29 Drought
  When he arrived in front of Shen Yan, he made a master-servant salute to Shen Yan, "Master, where have you been?" His tone was a little anxious.

After looking at Chun Yuan's expression, there was nothing strange about him, so he probably didn't find anything unusual.

"Well, it's okay. I just went outside for a few laps." Shen Yan didn't plan to say more, "I guess the craftsmen will be here in a while. Prepare some food at home. You can drive the carriage to the town. Buy more food and come back."

"Okay, Master." Seeing that nothing happened to Shen Yan, Chun Yuan felt relieved and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Yes, since Chun Yuan came, Chun Yuan has basically arranged all the meals at home. Shen Yan would sometimes teach Chun Yuan how to make them more delicious.

Shen Yan and the two children would sometimes do some trivial housework at home.

Today's breakfast is relatively simple, a bowl of green onion eggs and vegetable minced meat porridge.

After finishing the meal, Shen Yan called Chen Yuan and Shen Ran over and told them: "You guys stay at home well today. Of course you can go outside to play, but my mother and your Aunt Chun Yuan are not at home today. Be careful, if you are bullied by others, fight back first, and my mother will come back to help you deal with it."

Shen Yan's words were not unfounded, because the original owner's reputation here was really bad, and it was inevitable that someone would take their anger out on Chen Yuan.

After explaining, Shen Yan walked towards Dongshan. First, he went to the pond alone. He saw that the water in the pond had obviously decreased a lot. Shen Yan's eyes gradually darkened. It seemed that she had guessed well. There was a drought. coming soon.

I glanced at the trees around me, almost all of them were withered and yellow.

"Oh, come on, stop inking!"

"Stay steady!"

From a distance, Shen Yan heard some noise coming from the mountains. Shen Yan's location was not very far from his home.

It's the craftsmen who are here.

After thinking about it, Shen Yan walked down the mountain.

"Hey, look, does that look like Mrs. Shen?"

People who have never met Shen Yan's husband usually call her Mrs. Shen, not the second wife of the Chen family.

"It's true! Boss Zhao, Madam Shen is here!" The man shouted to Craftsman Zhao, who was slowly walking over with a thick wooden stick.

Craftsman Zhao nodded to indicate that he understood, and handed the thing in his hand to another person.

Shen Yan walked up to Craftsman Zhao, gave a symbolic greeting, and then went straight to the topic, "The weather has been unusually dry recently, Craftsman Zhao, have you noticed?"

Hearing this, Craftsman Zhao nodded, frowned and said in a deep voice: "There were actually some signs of this half a month ago, but I didn't notice it at that time. After walking around your village twice yesterday, I realized that it was already like this. Seriously, by the way, Mrs. Shen, I estimate that after finishing the wooden ram today, the construction work behind it will have to stop for a while. If there is no water, some of the later operations will not work. This wooden ram will not use much water, so we should first determine the ground. Come down."

"it is good."

Shen Yan didn't have the slightest objection, "But the water is a bit far away from here, so I have to go to the top to fetch water."

"That's easy to say, it will only take a while." Craftsman Zhao still clearly remembered Shen Yan's hospitality yesterday, and the place Shen Yan was pointing to was not very far away.

"Okay, thank you!" Shen Yan responded with a smile, "I'll prepare a delicious treat for all the masters at noon today!"

As soon as he heard this, Craftsman Zhao immediately became energetic. After all, the taste yesterday almost made him eat off his tongue, and he kept thinking about it when he went back.

She excitedly shouted to the people who were cleaning up: "Everyone will go to the mountain to fetch some water later. Madam Shen will treat us to a big dinner this noon!"

"Okay-" The crowd burst into laughter and excitement.

Shen Yan looked at it and couldn't help but smile.

After explaining this matter, he thought of something, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said to Craftsman Zhao: "Well... my reputation in the village is not very good, and I don't have that many pots, buckets, etc. at home. I may need I need to trouble Uncle Zhao to help me borrow it——"

"It's not good?" Before Shen Yan finished speaking, Craftsman Zhao looked at Shen Yan with a puzzled look on his face, "How could it be bad? Although we only got along with each other for a few days, Mrs. Shen is cheerful, steady and polite, um ...Well, I can't think of it, but why is it bad? Although I am a bit blessed to have grown up." Shen Yan was amused by Craftsman Zhao's words, "You have only known me for a few days? Okay, that's all. That’s it, I have thirty coins here, it should be enough to borrow those things.”

Craftsman Zhao was silent for a while, then took the money, "Okay, since Mrs. Shen said so, I won't delay things anymore, Dashan, come here -"

After explaining here, Shen Yan was ready to go to the mountain to find out whether the methods he read in the book yesterday worked. If he could find underground water, he would not be afraid of drought for the time being.

Walking along the mountain road, Shen Yan explored whether there was any place that matched what was written in the book.

1. In summer, when the ground temperature is low and the water is not hot in places that have been exposed to the sun for a long time, the amount of water must be large; especially in ponds that have been silted up for a long time, water can be released after digging deeply.

2. Observe the ground drainage situation. In places that are often humid and have slow drainage, groundwater is close to the ground.

3. There is drought all around, and only one place in the middle is wet. There is water in the place where the crops mature late.

4. Where there is moisture on the ground at the foot of the mountain, where water vapor rises like fog in the early morning, dusk or in winter, or where moss grows on the sides of rocks, or where water often flows out after rain, there will be water sources.

5. Light the mugwort, and the smoke from the mugwort will flow downward. Wherever the smoke comes out, there is a high probability that there will be groundwater. …

It seems that the first two kinds of Shen Yan have not been found in many places, but just for these two kinds, Shen Yan spent more than two hours. She didn't stop until she felt hungry. She changed her consciousness and came to the space to get them. I ordered two steamed buns to eat.

But she can only eat steamed buns, because the original unlimited time has passed, and now only one or two steamed buns are open to her.

"Nine-nine?"

[Here you are, host! 】Jiujiu has become accustomed to Shen Yan's name, and now he doesn't correct it anymore.

"Is there really nothing you can do to help me detect the water source?"

[Sorry, host, this is not within your authority. The system cannot provide any help. I suggest the host to find a solution on his own! 】

Shen Yan changed his mind and asked, "Is it okay to detect the humidity?"

[The original soil moisture detection for the host has triggered the system warning device, and you have also been deducted twenty points! 】

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Shen Yan frowned.

[Because if the host doesn’t ask, the system will not report it automatically! 】

"alright."

After finishing the steamed bun in his hand, Shen Yan patted the non-existent dust on his body and turned to go to the study to read.

But after searching and browsing for a long time, I still couldn't find any useful information.

Shen Yan rubbed his brows, and when he raised his head, he saw the book suspended in mid-air. The bottom seemed to be wrapped in a hazy mist, giving it a mysterious color.

That was the "Record of World Peace" left by his grandfather. Seeing this, Shen Yan's eyes flashed.

As soon as his consciousness changed, he came out of the space and walked straight to Zheng Zheng's house.

Let's see if there are any other ways first.

As soon as she approached Li Zheng's house, Shen Yan saw Li Wanniang who was sweeping the floor outside just now. She rolled her eyes at her first, then casually messed with the remaining ashes for a few times, and then closed the door tightly. .

After Shen Yan saw it, he paused in walking forward, with a dull expression on his face.

After thinking for a moment, he walked towards another part of the village.
