24, strange things
"You are too. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Shi Jing said a word of complaint and then stopped saying anything.
The hoe went down, and the sound became a little weaker, and then he dug another hoe, and the voice became quieter. I didn't find any other reaction in this later life, that is, there were demons and monsters, and it seemed that I was afraid of myself, so I dug down with a hoe after hoe. In the end, it was found that only a pile of dirt had been dug up, and in the moonlight, the color of the soil was grayish-white, and then the pile was silent. This sound is from the earth.
Later, someone analyzed that there were no demons and monsters, and it was completely because this pile of soil had a memory function, and the sound made during the battle at that time was collected and stored, and when the moon was full, the sound was released. Wang Qing said.
"You mean that the cow cry of Monkey Rock is also made from this soil with memories?" asked Sai Wuyong.
"It's just a possibility. Wang Qing said.
"We're going to do a field trip today, and maybe we'll crack it today. We brought our tools, and this place was said to be a puddle, so we took some of our tools and dried them first. Sect Leader Wang, you will bring your Wang brothers to come later, let's go and have a look first. Zhang Qiwei arranged, "The Shi brothers are taking care of them at home." ”
"Go in peace. Shi Jing said.
Zhang Qiwei, Sai Wu used, and the dog was left first. Wang Qing took three ox carts, and three sets of water wheels were dragged on the ox carts.
This waterwheel was a special tool for the farmland at that time, and when you pedal with your foot, the pedal rotated to pump the water of the place to a high level. A waterwheel can be pedaled by two people.
Treading a water wheel is a light and dark job. Six sets of waterwheels cost 12 people. The Wang brothers went to twenty-one people, so that there were people who kept replacement.
When Zhang Qiwei and his Zhuang Ding arrived at Monkey Rock, it was already noon. Before they arrived at Monkey Rock, Zhang Qiwei and others heard the sound of a cow barking very loudly.
Then Zhang Qiwei saw black people talking about a five-meter-square puddle.
Others poked around in the puddle with a long penny.
These onlookers saw that Young Master Zhang Qiwei, a big family in Ju County, was coming with a huge crowd of people, so they flashed a passage to the side.
Zhang Qiwei stood still by the puddle, and the chatter around him gradually subsided. Zhang Qiwei clearly heard the howling of cows coming from the puddle, "Moo-".
The surroundings were quiet, and the cry was particularly loud. Although the onlookers were mentally prepared, the cry surprised them and they all retreated.
Zhang Qiwei commanded Zhuang Ding to set up a waterwheel, and the six waterwheels stepped on at the same time, only to see twelve feet flying up and down. After half an hour, the water did not decrease in the slightest.
Zhang Qiwei knew that this puddle should be connected to an underground river. It stands to reason that in the past half an hour, don't say that such a puddle, even a puddle larger than it should be pumped to the bottom.
When the villagers near Monkey Rock saw that Zhang Qiwei's six waterwheels had not pumped much water, and that the time had come and the sun was about to set, they went back to move the waterwheels of each family, and some of them baked baked cakes, brought soju, and cut down pine trees at home. The puddle was surrounded by waterwheels.
Zhang Qiwei snorted. The waterwheels started together, and the water in the puddle was slightly less. However, the pumping speed is about the same as the speed of water seepage.
By the time it got dark, the water level hadn't dropped much.
At this time, an old man came over to see Zhang Qiwei, who was commanding here: "Young master, what are you doing with draining the water?"
"I just want to see what's going on under the water, whether it's a cow or a monster making such a terrible noise. ”
"I think this puddle must have been figured out with the big river of the Ju River, and water will continue to seep through from the ground. Therefore, the only way to dry up the water of this puddle is to cut off the water of the great river, but where to cut off the water of the great river is not an easy task. Young master, as long as you compare, you will find that the water level of this puddle is the same as the water level of the big river, and if we use water like this, it is equivalent to draining the water of the big river, is this possible?" the old man asked Zhang Qiwei.
"You have a point. Old man, what do you say?" Zhang Qiwei thought, this old man had no choice, he would not come.
"The good news is that although it is spring, the spring tide has not yet arrived, and there is still a drought in various places. We are building more dams in the upper reaches of the Ju River to reduce the amount of water flowing downstream. Then the Monkey Rock is cleaned up two to three meters down the section of the river that is a mile downstream. The puddle is less than three meters deep. Then the water level will go down, and it will be much easier for us to drain the water again. It's clear what is strange in this puddle. ”
"Old man, you have a good idea. But if we want to build a dam upstream, I can't give this order yet!"
"You are a well-known person, so you will send a poster to the various armor chiefs, and say that there are several reasons for building the dam. I think the people of Juxian will support this. ”
"Okay, I'll pay for it right now. At the same time, send a message to each armor chief. ”
Zhang Qiwei asked Sai Wu to go back, first, to gather people to dig this section of the river, and second, to send posters.
On the second day after Sai Wu went home, Zhang Qiwei had already led Wang Qing and others to clear the river for more than 20 meters. Zhang Qiwei soon discovered that the water potential of the Ju River was slowing down, and the water level was also decreasing. On the third day, Sai Wu led a few thousand men to clean up the river. After a day of working for a few thousand people, the river was basically cleared. In the evening, when Sai Wuyong wanted to pay these thousands of people, none of them asked for wages, and they all brought their own dry food.
When Zhang Qiwei went to persuade them to receive their wages, these people said: "Young Master Zhang is doing all the good things he is doing now in our Ju County. This river digging is also a practical thing to do for the people, we just did a day of volunteering, which is equivalent to a day of play. If we do something for ourselves and ask for your wages, we will have a troubled conscience. We also need to see what weird things are going on under the water. ”
Seeing this, Zhang Qiwei only felt that his worries were worth it, and he was very moved.
In the evening, several bonfires were lit around the puddle. The people brought by Zhang Qiwei were around the puddle to observe the changes in the water potential.
Zhang Qiwei found that the water in this puddle was not used by a water wheel to collect water, and now he was descending.
As the water level drops, so does the barking of the cattle in the puddle. What used to be a deep bass tone is now becoming high-pitched and loud.
The next morning, Zhang Qiwei woke up and went to the puddle to probe with a bamboo stick, and when he pulled it up, it was less than half a meter deep. At this time, Zhang Qiwei found that the bamboo stick at the bottom of the puddle did not meet the feeling of sand and gravel at the bottom of the river.
