Chapter 53: A Huge Project

That night, the second girl got into Xiaoding's bed as usual.

"Xianggong, how did you get to know the twin sisters of the Mei family?" The second girl asked while lying on Xiao Ding's chest.

Xiao Ding told the story of the day.

"Xianggong, why did they come to you?" The second girl asked again.

"They just happened to be passing by here, and it happened to be late, so they came to our house to spend the night." Xiao Ding replied.

"Xianggong, do you really want to sleep with them?" Erniu then asked.

"Nonsense, I'm just teasing them, who made them pretend to be men." Xiao Ding said.

The second girl was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "Xianggong, if you really want to sleep with a woman, just sleep with me......"

"Sleep!" Xiao Ding's face was black, and he roared.

"......" two girls.

After a while, Erniu asked again: "Xianggong, sleeping with twins is not the same as sleeping with other women?" ……”

"......" Xiao Ding was completely speechless.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ding and Er Niu got up early to finish the exercises. I got out of the shack and planned to go to the backyard to wash up.

Suddenly, I saw Mei Ruoshuang and Mei Ruoxue coming back from outside the courtyard with a sword.

Today, they changed into women's clothes, each wearing a long white dress, with their white and tender skin, like fairies jumping out of the world.

"...... you guys?" Xiao Ding asked strangely, and found that the two daughters were wearing the same clothes, and he couldn't recognize which of them was the elder sister and who was the younger sister.

"Oh, we got up early to practice our swords. I was afraid of disturbing you in the courtyard, so I went to the open space to the west to practice. Mei Ruoshuang said.

"Oh, did you sleep well last night?" Ding glanced at the donkey cart.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's better to have a place to sleep than to sleep in the open." Mei Ruoshuang said.

"That's good, you two can follow me to the backyard to wash up...... Xiao Ding led the second daughter towards the backyard.

After breakfast, the second daughter of the Mei family asked for the direction and planned to ride a horse to Luoxia Mountain.

I heard that there are sacred objects in Luoxia Mountain, and there must be no shortage of people from the rivers and lakes who go to Luoxia Mountain. Therefore, Xiao Ding told the second daughter to be careful and not to get into danger. The hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes are sinister, and if they can't beat them, they will run away, and they must not be carried to death. If you don't have a place to go, you can come back and stay.

And Xiao Ding also persuaded the second daughter not to dress up so beautifully, it was easy to cause trouble.

Although Xiao Ding has not personally experienced murder and treasure grabbing, he has seen a lot of novels and TV series. Moreover, when he went out on a mission in the troops of the original world, he also saw all kinds of evil people.

"Thank you, Brother Ding!" The second daughter listened to Xiao Ding's advice and thanked Xiao Ding.

In Tang Yunzhi's grass shed, they changed into men's clothes again, and deliberately made their hair ugly, and used eyebrow pencils to point more than a dozen black moles on their faces.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Ding, Tang Yunzhi and others, the two daughters went west.

Not long after sending away the second daughter of the Mei family, Second Uncle Niu came to Xiao Ding's house with more than ten people.

As the saying goes: things gather by like, and people are grouped. This person gets along well with others, and basically has a similar personality or a similar style of dealing with people.

Xiao Ding took the group of people to the west clearing to check the terrain, and explained the places marked yesterday to everyone one by one. And tell these people that it would be better to find a dozen more people. There are many people who work well, and the wages are all according to what I said with Uncle Niu before.

and reminded Second Uncle Niu, saying that if you are looking for someone, you must find some simple and honest people, and don't like to cheat and play tricks.

Because the road to the town has not yet been completely dried today, the ordered bricks and tiles cannot be delivered in time. So today we're all doing some preparations. For example, clearing foundations, digging clay, chopping wood, etc.

Xiao Ding went home to find a back basket, and then took Uncle Niu and two villagers to climb the small hill, and encountered wild fruits on the way, Xiao Ding picked some and put them in the back basket.

Second Uncle Niu looked at Xiao Ding suspiciously, and said that these wild fruits are sour and astringent, and they are very unpalatable, why are you picking so many?

Xiao Ding smiled slightly, and only said to go back and see if there was any other use.

After a few people climbed to the top of the mountain, Xiao Ding pointed to the empty space on the top of the mountain and said, "Second Uncle Niu, do you think you can build a house here?" ”

"Of course you can cover it, but it's a little laborious. First of all, we must build a mountain road that is easy to walk, and if we build a brick house, the bricks and tiles have to be transported from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain. Even though the hill is not high, transporting bricks and tiles is also a laborious task. In addition to bricks and tiles, clay, wood, and stone can be used locally in the mountains. ”

After listening to Second Uncle Niu's words, Xiao Ding had a number in his heart. took Uncle Niu and a few people to check the two caves again. Especially the cave where water flowed out.

"Second Uncle Niu, do you think there will be a mountain spring in this cave?" Xiao Ding asked.

"Looks like there should be." Second Uncle Niu is also not sure. He took the iron pickaxe from the hand of a nearby villager and smashed it towards the entrance of the cave a few times, only a few pieces of gravel were smashed, and it seemed that the rock at the entrance of the cave was still very hard.

Second Uncle Niu wanted to smash it again, but Xiao Ding hurriedly stopped him, he was worried that Second Uncle Niu would smash the villagers' pickaxes. The iron tools of this era were very valuable to ordinary villagers.

Xiao Ding secretly thought, when he has time one day, he will order a batch of farm tools, anyway, his family will hire people to work in the future, and the farm tools will have to be prepared sooner or later.

Xiao Ding found a big stone, lifted it high, secretly used his spiritual power, and smashed it towards the small hole in the flowing water. There was a boom, and a gap was smashed into the hole.

Second Uncle Niu and the two villagers secretly admired that this fool did have some brute strength, no wonder he could fight wolves and bears.

Xiao Ding smashed several times with a boulder, and the entrance of the cave was smashed open a gap two feet square.

Second Uncle Niu squatted down, poked his head into the hole, and used the pickaxe in his hand to dig in it a few times, and the water immediately rose.

"Sure enough, there is a mountain spring!" Second Uncle Niu said happily.

Since there is a mountain spring, Xiao Ding has another plan.

If the spring water is very strong, you can dig a drainage ditch to divert the water to the mountainside, and dig a reservoir on the mountainside, which can be used to give water to pheasants, hares and other animals in the mountain forest. Then the reservoir can also be used to raise fish .......

Then another ditch was drained directly to the foot of the mountain, and a reservoir was dug to be used as domestic water and to irrigate the wasteland that had just been bought. When the reservoir is full, it can divert water to the thin fields in the south of the village. If the land in the south of the village is irrigated with water, it is estimated that it will not take a few years, and it can also be fattened.

At this time, Second Uncle Niu planed a few more times, and the water flowing out of it became even more, and water vapor came out.

"Second Uncle Niu, you wait first......" Xiao Ding stopped Second Uncle Niu, and then said what he thought just now, but he didn't say anything about fish farming.

When Second Uncle Niu heard Xiao Ding's idea, he raised his hands in approval. The other two villagers were also elated when they heard this.

Coming down from the mountain, Xiao Ding took Second Uncle Niu back to his home to discuss the planning of this land and the small hill in detail, and drew drawings and handed them to Second Uncle Niu.

This is a huge project, and according to Uncle Niu, it will take at least a year to complete. Xiao Ding felt that the time was too long.

Winter is coming soon, and the winter of this age will be much colder than the winter of the Hereafter. When the weather is cold, it will not be able to be built, and the construction can only be continued when it is civilized in the next spring.

Therefore, if you want to speed up the progress, you can only find more people.

Xiao Ding decided that before the cold came, at least the eight houses should be built, and one or two greenhouses for planting vegetables should be built, so that the greenhouses could be used to grow out-of-season vegetables in winter. In addition, the spring water from the mountain should also be brought down so that it can be used for growing vegetables in the greenhouse.

To complete these projects, Second Uncle Niu roughly calculated that at least fifty people would be needed to complete these tasks. Among them, about 15 people are needed to build houses, about 15 people are needed to build greenhouses and clean up wasteland, and the remaining 20 people need to build mountain roads, dig drainage ditches, dig reservoirs, clean mountain springs, and so on.

The rest of the work will have to wait until the beginning of spring after the year. No matter how many people you look for, you won't be able to do it before winter, and first of all, the supply of building materials can't keep up with the speed of construction.

After planning everything with Second Uncle Niu, Xiao Ding and the Tian family, who had been listening to it for a long time, were full of expectations for this huge project.
