"In this way, then I will rest assured, Xue Chen, you are too stupid, if this matter is transmitted back to the capital, where will you put your face!" Unexpectedly hilarious, since it has been confirmed that Xue Chen is fine, Su Qiange is also a lot presumptuous.

Xue Chen rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, what he was in his hands was a layer of dust, he raised his hand to look, and the place where he had just touched the teacup was mixed into mud because of some water.

Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that he was covered with so much dust, Xue Chen walked in front of the bronze mirror, wanting to see what he looked like, but before he could come to him, he saw his big face, and his expression instantly collapsed.

"That's it, I'll sort it out first!"

Where can Xue Chen stay, he threw down a sentence directly, and hurried out, this look is indeed a little ridiculous, no wonder Su Qiange laughed so happily.

The sky was not completely dark, Su Qiange saw Xue Chen leaving, so he also walked out of the door to relax, at this time, the sky was reflected red by the sunset, and the clouds were shining in various shapes in the sky, which was very beautiful, and Su Qiange was fascinated for a while.

When Xue Chen reappeared in front of Su Qiange, the sky had completely darkened, and when he saw her standing at the door, he thought she was waiting for him, and coughed a few times, "Ge'er, I'm back." ”

Probably because he was afraid that Su Qiange would not be able to forget what he had just looked like, Xue Chen specially changed his dress, and only part of the hair that was tied up on weekdays was fixed with hairpins, and the rest of the hair was scattered and lazily put on his shoulders.

The black clothes that I usually wear on weekdays have also been changed out and replaced with a crescent moon color, and the whole person looks very energetic.

Su Qiange gave a face-saving wow, which gave Xue Chen great satisfaction.

"I'll go with you tomorrow!" Xue Chen and Su Qiange stood at the door together, the shadows of the two were stretched by the moonlight, she poured her head on Xue Chen's shoulder, it was easy to smell him, and she thought that she had just lit incense in the room.

It's really exquisite, Su Qiange laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't say it, if he laughed again, Su Qiange was very worried that he would be angry.

"No, the terrain is treacherous, and I can't take care of you if you go."

was expected to be rejected, Su Qiange shrugged helplessly, "I knew you would be like this, but tomorrow, I'm going to decide!" ”

Su Qiange didn't deliberately raise the bar with Xue Chen, she just saw that he was so bored for the past two days, and wanted to help him share some of it, after all, she was a highly educated person, and these problems that the ancients couldn't solve might be very simple for her.

"Ge'er, just look at my appearance today, it's really not suitable for you to go there!"

"I'd just be careful, and besides, I've been in the north longer than you, maybe I can think of a way?"

Su Qiange raised his head from Xue Chen's shoulder, his eyes shining in the moonlight, and Xue Chen fell into it unconsciously, "In this case, then you must remember to follow behind me and protect yourself carefully." ”

"Don't worry, okay, you wait in the room for a while, I'll help you prepare some food, you're tired of a day, you must be hungry!"

Seeing that Xue Chen agreed, Su Qiange hurriedly found a reason to run away, if he couldn't think about it for a while and regretted it, then she just said it in vain.

"Slow down!" Xue Chen reminded him uneasily, and then he stood back in place, looked at the moon in the sky, and muttered to himself, "It's okay, tomorrow will be a good day." ”

Su Qiange got up early in the morning and changed into men's clothes prepared in advance, looking like a humble gentleman again.

After going out, he happened to meet Xue Chen, who was about to knock on the door, Su Qiange learned from the appearance of those merry boys, grabbed the fan and lifted Xue Chen's chin, and said in a frivolous tone, "Little girl, do you want to play with the uncle?" ”

Xue Chen made a bitter look for face, "Don't be a child, people already have families, and they can't tolerate you being so insulted." With that, he made the gesture of hitting the wall.

Su Qiange was in a good mood, turned around and went out, regardless of Xue Chen, who was about to hit the wall, crying in place.

"Su Qiange, why don't you hold me!"

Before Xue Chen came back to his senses, he saw Su Qiange leaving, and hurriedly chased after him, only to feel that his face was hot, fortunately no one found out about the scene just now, otherwise he would have been so embarrassed.

Today's route is still on the surrounding mountains, and Su Qiange is standing not far from a water source at this time, looking at the water dripping down little by little, and his heart is very anxious.

"Try to dig a little deeper, and maybe you'll find groundwater." Su Qiange reminded him, and then thought that the technology of this era could not lead the underground water to the fields at all, so he shook his head again, "But even if you find it, it will only be enough for the people to eat." ”

"Groundwater?" Thinking that it was the first time they heard this word, the experts were stunned for a moment.

"Well, but it's not very implementable, and like this water source, it's not everywhere." Su Qiange couldn't help frowning, there was too much manpower invested in this way, and it was really a drop in the bucket for this water-scarce north.

"Su Yushi, how long does this groundwater need to be dug up, if it can be realized, we can solve the problem of eating and drinking for the people first."

Digging up groundwater is also a good way to find it, and it's not always easy to find it, and water experts can find one and then find the same according to the terrain.

"About thirty-six feet, we can try around this water source, and if we can find the source of this water, it will be great."

"In that case, then I will arrange for someone to come over immediately, if Su Yushi is fine, can you stay here for a while."

Su Qiange had made great contributions to the north before, helping the people escape the catastrophe, and today they have solved their urgent needs, and unconsciously, they have more trust in Su Qiange.

"I came here with the Hou Ye to assist everyone, and where I am needed, I need to say it directly, you don't have to be polite." Su Qiange is still not used to others talking to her with pleading, so she hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"That's it!" The man nodded, hurriedly called for someone to come over, and drew a circle not far from the water source, and asked them to dig down the spot.

The groundwater is a little higher than Su Qiange's estimate, but it is also purely manual digging, which is very time-consuming and laborious, and it is not until the moon rises that the water source is gradually seen.

"Master Hou, I see the water."

A group of people shouted at a distance from the ground, and Xue Chen tilted his head and wrapped his ears in his hands before he vaguely heard such a sentence.

"Ge'er, they said they dug up the water."

"Tighten the rope and prepare them for the possibility of water gushing out at any time, so remember to be safe." Su Qiange explained, and emphasized it to the people on the ground.

Because they wanted to find the water quickly, they didn't dig too wide a hole, and now they could see the water, if it was deeper, the water gushed out, and they had nowhere to escape, but to give their lives to these people on the shore.

Xue Chen shouted to the ground several times to make sure that each one was ready before ordering to continue digging, while he kept standing by the entrance of the cave and listening carefully to the movements below.

"Pull!"

In just a moment, someone below gave a signal, Xue Chen hurriedly pulled a rope, and everyone worked together, and the people underground were quickly pulled up.

"Master Hou, the water down there is so sweet, I'll go down again tomorrow and bring some for you!"

Everyone who was pulled up was soaked, and Xue Chen arranged for someone to put on a coat for them, wanting to take them down to rest.

It's just that those people are still immersed in excitement, and they don't want to leave, and some even crawl next to the cave entrance, listening to the sound of the underground water gushing, and tears of excitement are about to flow.

They couldn't remember how long it had been since they heard the sound of the water, it was so pleasant that it washed away all their fatigue in a few moments.

Su Qiange shook his head with a smile and explained softly, "There is no need to be so troublesome, the water will not gush like this tomorrow, and then we are going to use these ropes to hang the bucket down." ”

Seeing these people so happy, Su Qiange was also happy in his heart, and even his tone was much more relaxed.

"Ahem, you see I'm so happy, I still want to go down, it wouldn't be good if the water flow was soiled by me, or Su Yushi has a way, and it is worthy of being the patron saint of our north."

Su Qiange hurriedly stopped his words, "It's just a gesture, don't be so polite, and besides, words like the guardian spirit, you must not say it again in the future!" ”

When she returned to Beijing this time, Su Qiange only vaguely felt that something was wrong with the emperor, although she couldn't think of the reason, but it was better to be careful, not to mention the three words of the guardian saint, she really couldn't afford it.

"Su Yushi, rest assured, we all remember!"

In their hearts, Su Qiange's words are more effective than anyone else's, no matter what she says, they will definitely carry it out.

"The groundwater here has been found, we can find new groundwater according to the geology here, tomorrow I will trouble you to have a good investigation here, if this law can be implemented, we will first dig a place in the counties and villages, and solve the people's water problem first, how do you think?"

Xue Chen opened his mouth and asked the opinions of several water conservancy experts.

"We will come to investigate early tomorrow morning, and we will definitely give an answer to Master Hou in the shortest possible time!"

Things have finally progressed, and several water conservancy experts are also very excited, if it is not late today and they can't see anything, they must have immediately surveyed the geology.

"Okay, let's get here first today, everyone has worked hard, go home and rest!"

Seeing that everyone was full of energy, Xue Chen was naturally happy, he confessed, and returned to the post station with Su Qiange.

This road was not easy to walk, Su Qiange simply got off the horse's back and led the horse to walk slowly.

"Xue Chen, in fact, this method is not feasible, the groundwater is limited, and it can only solve the temporary urgency, and it will not play any role at all."

Happy is happy, but this does not mean that Su Qiange agrees with this approach.

Xue Chen naturally knew that this plan could only put the problem on hold, "I'll take a few experts to take a look tomorrow, this water source is too small and doesn't have much reference value." ”

"It's fine, but there will definitely be a better way, if you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to come up with the perfect solution."

Su Qiange played with the horse rope in her hand, her good-looking brows furrowed, this matter was really unexpectedly difficult, and she didn't have a clue for a while.

"Just leave these things to me, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

Where could Xue Chen see Su Qiange frowning, and hurriedly took over the conversation, this matter was already in his charge, how could he throw the burden to Su Qiange.

"There is no motivation without pressure, you know that I am a person, there is no problem that I can't solve!" Su Qiange tilted his head and glanced at Xue Chen, seeing that he was as troubled as himself, he couldn't help laughing, "Don't say it, the way you frown is a bit similar to me." ”
