Chapter 44
Even if a well is dug, watering it is probably the most waste of manpower and time.

"Then I'll go back and ask Uncle Feng first, or ask him to help me find out if we can dig a well here, and where should I find the master who digs the well!" Fei Yunyi saw that it was time to use him , express your opinion immediately.

"Well! Okay! Then, Uncle Feng, please take care of me!" With so many people, Miao Yinshu didn't evade any excuses, and directly accepted the kindness, and then asked Zhong Yu's father, "Uncle Zhong, do you know how far away from me this hill is?" How far is the nearest river or mountain stream?"

Prepare with one hand and prepare with the other. If the well fails, Miao Yinshu will place her hope on the mountain stream.

"There are mountain streams, but the water flows downwards. If you want to use it to irrigate the hillside, I'm afraid it won't work!" Father Zhong Yu sighed.

"We can also divert the water to store it!" In this case, we need to dig a reservoir at the foot of the mountain. If we can divert the water from the mountain stream, it will save the need to dig a deep well.

"! That's right, this method might work!" The words awakened the dreamer, Zhong Yu's father clapped his hands and applauded, "Miss, you are so smart!"

"Uncle Zhong, I don't know if my cleverness will come in handy! Come on, take me to see where the nearest stream is!"

"it is good!"

Just do it, and the three of them split up.Fei Yunyi rushed back to the village chief's house to inquire about the well, while Miao Yinshu and Zhong Yu's father went to find the nearest mountain stream.

Since Feng Dexian helped Miao Yinshu choose the northernmost hill, there are many mountains to the north, and there are several mountain streams in the mountains.However, there is another hill that is closest to the top of Miaojia Mountain. It seems that it is not a small project to divert the water from the mountain stream around that hill.

"Miss?" After walking around, Zhong Yu's father looked at Miao Yinshu with a little disappointment, "These mountain streams are too far away from our mountain tops, it may be inconvenient to fetch water!"

"It seems that it is not easy to find a water source in the mountains!" Miao Yinshu couldn't help but smiled wryly as she looked at the hill between her own hill and the creek.

The small hillside is not very high, it is a little lower than the top of my own hill, but it is a bit wider.According to what she thought at first, using some big bamboo tubes to guide the water from the mountain stream around the small hill to the foot of her own mountain would not only make it difficult for many big bamboos, but also take a lot of effort.

"Yes!" Zhong Yu's father, who lived in the mountains since he was born, couldn't help but sighed, "I only know that our village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, but when I didn't want to do something, I found that the abundant mother river was It's of no use."

"It was also when I told Uncle Feng that I wanted to buy the mountain that I didn't consider this layer. I was negligent!" Miao Yinshu patted her little head lightly. Sure enough, sometimes the lack of life experience will bring certain problems. Trouble, "Uncle Zhong, in your opinion, if we want to divert the stream from this small hill to our mountain, how many days of labor and bamboo tubes will it take?"

"Miss, do you want to connect bamboo tubes with bamboo tubes and divert water?"

"Hmm! I think so!" Because she didn't know whether it would be feasible to dig a well in the mountains.

"Manpower is useless. Let's hire more people to catch up with the work. It will only take a day or two. Bamboo is also easy to get. There are some thick ones everywhere on the wild mountains. It's just..."

"Just what?" Miao Yinshu thought that if it could be done in a day or two, then there would be no need to troublesomely turn on the well, but Zhong Yu's father just made her feel very uncertain.

"Miss, as I told you, don't think that I am guessing people's hearts or belittling others. It's just that the old man said well that people's hearts are separated from the belly. Even if it is a family, there will be two hearts. I am worried that we have worked hard. It was made into a water pipe for water diversion, but if someone with a heart came to destroy it in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be..."

When Zhong Yu's father said this, the first thing Miao Yinshu saw was Liu Dacai's family.Maybe that little chicken belly and greedy guy would really come here in the middle of the night to cut off their water source, and it would take a lot of effort and manpower to do it again.

"Uncle Zhong, you are right! But, so far, we can't come up with any good ideas for a while, or we can just make do with it. When we really can dig a well, it's a good idea. You don’t have to worry about the stream water either!” After all, Miao Yinshu wanted to know better than the ancients that underground water resources are the most abundant, so he decided to focus on wells.

"Well, that's okay! Then I'll gather people to cut bamboo!" Zhong Yu's father, who had no other choice, thought it would be okay to try first.

"Then please trouble Uncle Zhong!"

"Miss, what did you say, our family is grateful to you for not disliking it, so we have recruited them to work, and gave Qi Zi the opportunity to study and read. You are the benefactor of our family. I just do some small things and do my best. How can I be worthy of being a young lady and say that you bother!" Zhong Yu's father hurriedly waved his hands, he was honored to be entrusted by his master like this, but he felt a little ashamed.

"Uncle Zhong, I've said it all. In my eyes, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between master and servant. So, how can you say that you can afford to be inferior!" Still can't adapt to the strict rules of the ancients. Miao Yinshu, who has a strict ethics and ethics system, can only not entangle with this for too long, "Then let's go home first, I have to think of other methods!"

Miao Yinshu's so-called other methods are the production of water pumps that he thought of before.Regardless of whether the well can be opened or not, that thing can also be used in the storage tank.

The piston pump uses the reciprocating motion of the piston and the combined action of atmospheric pressure to pump water from a low place to a high place.

She just saw rural people install it in the wells in their yards in order to save some water bills. She didn't know if she could use this principle to get along with the specific structure of the appearance in memory.

In this era, there is no rubber ring to make the piston, so can cork be used instead?If there is no steel plate, iron plate can also be used, but it is easy to rust, so it needs to be prepared and replaced frequently.The leather pipe of the water inlet and the pipe of the water outlet can also be replaced with fresh moso bamboo.

So, after lunch, Miao Yinshu lay down in the study, holding a brush and carefully began to draw according to the principle of piston plus lever in his impression.

When Fei Yunyi came over with the good news, he saw a small figure crouching on the table and carefully sketching something very unfamiliar.

The little chicken feet with a little flesh seem to be very impatient with the thin and soft brush tip, which is difficult to grasp. From time to time, they raise their eyebrows and frown at it, and their lips move in a serious manner, but there is no sound, so I don't know what she is complaining about.

The thin brows frown and relax, and even those big almond eyes seem to reveal various emotions.

"Miss Miao, what are you drawing?" I really wanted to watch this little girl's ever-changing cute expression in silence for a while, but the "good habit" of not looking at evil for too long made him withdraw his tension in time Staring at the sight, asked very gentlemanly.

"Huh?" Probably because she was too focused, Miao Yinshu was taken aback by the sudden voice, and she had just dipped the nib of the pen in ink, and was picking it up to check if the hair was straightened out, when she turned her face, The ink on the tip of the pen was swept to the cheek, "Ah!"

The two monosyllables were uttered one after the other, and Miao Yinshu looked at Xiao Zhengtai sadly.Because, without looking in the mirror, she knew that her face must have been painted.

With a sound of "Puchi", Fei Yunyi couldn't help but laughed directly, not because he was laughing at a drop of ink on that little face, but because the little girl's pouting appearance was really cute.

What's the situation, why Mao's hands are holding his little face uncontrollably like this?
From those bright and twinkling almond eyes, he suddenly found his handsome face approaching, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozheng realized that at some point, without waiting for the owner's consent, her claws climbed onto the other's pink and tender little face.

"Ahem! Well, I, I'll clean it up for you!" Fortunately, he reacted quickly and found that piece of ink as an excuse, so that the little Zhengtai was able to blushing and cheeky to lightly touch the other person's face.

However, the ink is extremely inconsistent, or is it trying to create opportunities, it seems that no matter how you wipe it, it can't be wiped clean.

"That, that, I, myself?" Xiao Zhengtai's fingertips were scalding hot, so hot that Miao Yinshu's face also turned crimson.The little liver was jumping wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

"Oh, oh!" Well, well, Fei Yunyi, who was about to lose control of his heartbeat, could only slowly withdraw his hands reluctantly, and after Miao Yinshu ran out as if he was fleeing, he also touched him. Ink's fingers smirked for a while.

Seeing that it was almost time for study, Zhong Yu came in and interrupted his smirk.

"Mr. Fei, why are your hands stained with ink? Let me fetch water for you to wash!" However, it was not Zhong Qi who said this, but Feng Xiaoling, who was more docile and stable. , and will follow Zhong Qi to attend lectures and study.

"Oh! No need, I'll wash it myself!" I was so reluctant, the ink that was wiped off Miss Miao's face seemed to have a faint fragrance from the little girl's body!
Xiao Zhengtai, whose hormones were secreted early, had a look of pity, but no matter how reluctant he was, he had to wash it off, otherwise, wouldn't it be suspicious.

However, today is destined to be an extraordinary day, and the class cannot be held normally.

Because, after Miao Yinshu washed his face and returned to the study, he briefly explained the principle and accessories of the water pump, which immediately aroused the interest of Fei Yunyi and Zhong Qi.

The two boys got together to make a calculation, and eager to try, they carried the drawings and rode away on horseback. Miao Yinshu didn't come back to his senses until he heard the sound of hooves, and asked with his head tilted: "What are they doing here?" ?”

"My brother said that he knows a blacksmith uncle, maybe he can make the object that the lady wants according to the requirements on the drawing!" Zhong Yu said weakly after the handsome pot disappeared.

It's so boring, Mr. Leng hasn't come back after leaving the house, Mr. Fei has left, and even the elder brother who can make up the number has disappeared.

"Miss, is that thing really so miraculous?" Zhong He expressed doubts.How did Miss come up with something that I have never seen before? Is it really useful?

"I don't know either!" These two stinky guys, why didn't they bring me with them, relying on the two of them with a drawing that they didn't know what to draw, and what they explained was not a complete explanation , can they make a blacksmith who doesn't know anything make a water pump?Miao Yinshu expressed great doubts.

"Miss, don't worry. Since Mr. Fei and Zhong Qi are so impatient, they must be confident that they will bring back something you need!" Zhong Lan was very optimistic about them.

"Oh! I hope!" Miao Yinshu sighed softly, and decided to let them go, and go to see how the bamboo cut by Zhong Yu's father and the others was.

Huh?No, did the young lady forget to tell herself something?For example, about the well?
Well, it's too late to ask when he comes back.

However, before Fei Yunyi came back, not long after arriving in the bamboo forest, when they were picking out the thickest bamboo with everyone, Zhong Yu, who liked to run errands the most, and Zhong He and Zhong Hua, who had nothing to do at leisure, brought a The good news came to her, saying that Feng Dexian really found her a master who can open wells.
