Chapter 90 A little bit of a stone
(Yesterday and Saturday, people were a little uncomfortable, and they slept for more than ten hours and missed the update.) Today is 90-93 four times together. Because the contract needs to be scored, the bottle is shameless to ask for a ticket to collect. )
――――――
"Brother Lu, aren't you going to inspect the fields today?"
"Mancheng, somehow I just feel very tired today, so I want to take a break......"
"Yes, Brother Lu, you usually have to work hard to teach, and you have to work hard to go to the field, you must have been exhausted for a long time. Anyway, there is still some time before the rainy season, and there is nothing important to do in Tunzhong, Brother Lu, you can rest for a few days. ”
"Then there is Lao Mancheng, you have to spend more time."
Arching his hand to Li Dian and watching Li Dian leave, Lu Ren lay down on the couch outside the tent with some weakness and bathed in the warm spring sun. Honestly, Lu Ren is really not lazy. Just like Li Dian said, Lu Ren has to teach the people to grow rice, supervise the production of farm tools, and personally go to the field to inspect the growth of crops.
Moreover, Lu Ren has both the pressure he puts on himself and the pressure from the outside world, so that Lu Ren has never dared to take it lightly, so for a few months, Lu Ren has hardly given himself a vacation. And no matter how strong a person is, there is always a critical point in his body, and it is obvious that Lu Ren is about to reach this critical point now.
However, the main reason for making Lu Ren unable to keep up his spirit was not physical fatigue, but the reminder and warning made by Shirley to Lu Ren when he communicated with Shirley in time and space yesterday.
"Kids? Well, I really never thought about it......"
The vast majority of boys in their twenties in modern society have just stepped out of school to work hard in society, and to put it mildly, they are still older children, and how many of them will consider getting married and having children? At least Lu Ren is a guy who hasn't played enough, and his mood is still calm and settled. If he wants to go around to find a good cabbage arch, he will be very energetic, but if he wants to get married, start a family and have children, he will only stay away and run away.
But the problem now is that if he wants to take Wan'er back, he will have to stay in this era for five years. So far, Lu Ren has indeed not touched Wan'er, but can he still not touch Wan'er in the next five years? Lu Ren really didn't have that confidence. In case you can't hold it and "eat" Wan'er, and as a result, Wan'er's belly is enlarged, should you take the child back?
Although he has never considered getting married and having children, but now that he really mentions it, Lu Ren asked himself if he was not the kind of bastard father who would leave his children behind. Well, one more child would add forty months of energy accumulation, and then one or two more children would come out in those forty months...... How is this a bit like a chicken-and-egg situation? So when will Lu Ren be able to go back?
"Headache! Can't you really touch Wan'er in the next five years? But I can't just let the 'five girls' help me solve my physiological needs, right? Or do I have to go to the brothel if I want to solve this? But in this era, it is easy to provoke criticism when I run to that kind of place, and I still have to be an official in the past five years! His sister, if only there was Durex or Jasbang. ”
was thinking about these messy things in her mind, and the curtain of the door where the tent was lifted, and Wan'er walked out with a laundry tub. As soon as she raised her eyes and saw Lu Ren lying there basking in the sun with some malaise, Wan'er stepped forward and asked with concern, "Lord, what are you...... Feeling unwell? ”
"Ah......" Because of the mess in his mind, Lu Ren is really a little afraid of seeing Wan'er now, and at this moment, he can only smile at Wan'er: "It's nothing, I just feel tired and want to take a break." Wan'er, you're going to the river to do laundry, right? You go and get busy with yours, I don't have anything here. ”
Wan'er answered, went to Lu Ren's tent and took Lu Ren's clothes to be washed, and prepared to go to the river. But when she was about to leave the tent, Wan'er still looked back at Lu Ren with great anxiety.
Lu Ren didn't notice this, just closed his eyes and was depressed there. Can you not be depressed? When I got Shirley before, I was wolf-hearted, but I didn't expect Shirley to be a cabbage that couldn't be arched; Now that there is a Wan'er by his side, he can arch but he doesn't dare to arch for such a reason, so it's no wonder that Lu Ren is not depressed.
was depressed, Lu Ren suddenly noticed that someone had come to his side, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Wan'er was kneeling down beside him, and Lu Ren said strangely: "Aren't you going to wash clothes?" ”
Wan'er said: "The lord is unwell, and someone has to be by his side." As for the clothes, Wan'er asked the women who were washing by the river to help wash them. ”
"......" Lu Ren didn't say anything more, in fact, there were people around him who guarded him and cared about him, and Lu Ren still felt a little satisfied in his heart. It's a pity that this is a very warm scene now, but Lu Ren doesn't dare to develop it into a scene that upgrades warmth into enthusiasm and even passion like in film and television dramas.
However, all people generally have the problem that the more they dare not be, the more they think. Lu Ren is not a sage, of course, he will not be an exception. I was so depressed in my head, thinking that it would be nice if I had a condom, but I was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then I slapped my head violently, and said with a wicked smile: "Stupid! What an idiot I'm in! How did you forget about this? ”
With a wicked smile, Lu Ren opened his eyes and looked at Wan'er beside him with bad intentions, and the strange look made Wan'er shrink back in fright.
Lu Ren beckoned Wan'er's hand, and that bad smile could basically be marked with the label of a gray wolf when he caught the lazy sheep: "Wan'er, come here, I want to ask you something." ”
Wan'er hesitated for a moment, and finally came to Lu Ren's side, and Lu Ren fell into Wan'er's ear and asked Wan'er a few words in a low voice. But it's okay not to ask these few words, but after asking, Wan'er's pretty face suddenly swelled red, and after twisting for a long time, she lowered her head and responded softly: "Why is the Lord asking this?" ”
Lu Ren put away a bad smile and said with a serious face: "For the sake of your body." A girl your age can easily ruin her body if you don't pay attention to this aspect of things. Okay, don't be shy, tell me honestly. ”
Wan'er's face was about to drip blood. raised his head slightly and glanced at Lu Ren, but found that Lu Ren's serious face was a little tense, and there was a faint bad smile, this time Wan'er really couldn't hold on, jumped from the mat in a panic, and then ran out of the tent with only a few steps: "The Lord, the Lord's clothes are still washed by Wan'er, Wan'er and Wan'er went to wash the clothes." ”
However, after only a few steps, Wan'er stood on her feet again. After hesitating for a while, Wan'er returned to the wooden gate in the tent, and with the pretty face that was about to drip blood, she said to Lu Renzhi through the wooden fence: "I just came here eight or eight days ago. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan'er flew away and disappeared. Lu Ren looked at the direction Wan'er was running away, and his face was full of a wicked smile: "Eight days ago, right?" That day is coming...... However, with Wan'er's current age and physical condition, it is better not to touch her first. Anyway, she dares to open this mouth and tell me now, and she won't be so afraid to speak up in the future. Wait until this girl's too skinny body is raised a little fuller, hum ......"
Thinking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but let out a wolf howl at the sky, but it caused the people in the distance to look at him in astonishment......
――――――――――――――――――――
After a big stone in his heart landed, the depression in Lu Ren's heart was naturally swept away, so he relaxed his mind and rested for two days, after all, it was really time for him to take a good rest. And in the past two days, Lu Ren has been a little dishonest to Wan'er. But Lu Ren didn't dare to do anything excessive, first, he was afraid that Wan'er would be disgusted, and second, Lu Ren was afraid that he had gone too far, and it would be difficult to clean up if he was really provoked into an evil fire.
On this day, the energetic Lu Ren led Li Dian to the river, and instructed the craftsmen to frame the wooden automatic wheeled dump bucket waterwheel that had just been made yesterday into the river.
Lu Ren compared the flow and speed of the river here, so he deliberately selected a few places suitable for erecting a dump waterwheel, and at the same time, Lu Ren also asked the carpenters to make a wooden water tank, so that the water from the dump waterwheel to the high place can be diverted to each aqueduct.
In this era, there was no water pump device, and Lu Ren couldn't make that thing, but Lu Ren had long found the seemingly simple but effective irrigation method of ancient farmers from "Qi Min Yaoshu" and "Heavenly Creation". To put it simply, the water from the lower part is diverted to the higher place by a dump bucket water wheel, and then the water is diverted by the water tank to the pond dug in advance in the higher part of the farmland, and then the water is sent to each farmland by the small channel connected to the pond. There are corresponding inlet and outlet valves in the farmland, which can easily adjust the amount of water in the farmland.
Watching the craftsmen erect the wooden guide troughs one by one, Lu Ren was actually a little helpless in his heart. For this kind of wooden aqueduct following the tipping bucket waterwheel, Lu Ren originally wanted to build a stone aqueduct similar to the ancient Roman era, but that thing requires a lot of stones and labor, which is not realistic for Lu Ren's situation here, so Lu Ren can only use a wooden aqueduct instead.
However, Lu Ren was also secretly thinking in his heart, after all, the stability of the wooden guide tank was too poor, and if it encountered strong wind and rain, it might be blown down. In the autumn of this year, when the grain is in the warehouse, we will have to build a few stone canals. Anyway, when it comes to farming, there are manpower. As for the problem of stone, Lu Ren felt that it was better to burn bricks, and the land of China was full of clay suitable for burning bricks. And in terms of architecture, boxy bricks are also stronger than irregularly shaped stones.
As for the rammed earth structure commonly used in building buildings during the Han Dynasty, Lu Ren directly passed it. Although the rammed earth is strong, it will be finished after being soaked in water for a long time, which is obviously not suitable for the requirements of the aqueduct. And now the only thing Lu Ren is a little embarrassed about is actually the cement used for bonding between bricks and bricks, and he doesn't know if he can make it. But it doesn't matter if you can't make it, as long as raw and hydrated lime can be made, and then mixed with some rice milk or something is the ancient building adhesive, the effect is just as good.
