Looking down from a high sky, beside the muddy water stream, countless figures like dense ant colonies gather and scatter from time to time. biquge.info Gradually, there were more things on the banks of the stream, much lower than in previous years, and as these were assembled one by one, a huge waterwheel with a diameter of more than five zhang stood up. That's right, if someone has been to the northwest and visited Lanzhou, they can recognize it at a glance, and the thing in front of them is the famous Lanzhou waterwheel.

The Lanzhou waterwheel is said to have been built in accordance with the style of the canal car of Yunnan Tonghe during the Jiajing period by the Lanzhou Duanjiatan people who had served as the imperial history of Yunnan Province, the Huguang Senator, and the deputy envoy of the Miyun military garrison, and there are also data showing that before the five dynasties, Zhangye, Lanzhou and other places already had similar waterwheels, but in any case, the Lanzhou waterwheel can be widely used in the section of the Yellow River in Lanzhou, where the river surface and the ground drop is huge, and it must be suitable for various streams in Taiwan with relatively abundant water.

Looking at the Lanzhou waterwheel that resembles a wheel, has a huge wheel width, and can automatically lift water under the action of the water, Guo Tianxi, the chief official of the construction department, who presided over the matter, looked a little fluctuating, and Yu Dongting, the chief official of the camp and field division on the side, smiled at him knowingly, and then announced loudly: "Open the gate and release the water"

Of course, a variety of waterwheels can be erected on the side of the big stream, those far away from the river need to dig deep wells, digging wells in this era is a technical job, not only need to be able to distinguish, find the water veins of the Kanyu master to provide guidance, but also need wood, planks and other supports, more importantly, the deeper the well is dug, the soil on all sides will appear more and more inward extrusion stress, once the stress exceeds the bearing capacity of the support, it will naturally form a collapse, thereby burying the underground operator, and this stress or because of water seepage, Or the shear difference caused by the formation of abnormal cavities after the soil is cleared - there is almost no regularity - so digging a well is still a game for the brave.

"The grandson has an order, those who sign up to dig wells, as long as they dig five wells ten zhang deep with water, they can be exempted from hard labor and granted land according to good people."

Wang Jiu endured the foul air, digging deep one shovel after another, and what he thought about over and over again was what the roe head rat saw at the beginning of the words, five wells, good people, five wells, and fields, over and over again, until the person on the side patted his shoulder and reminded him that it was time for the change of guard, and then he weakly grabbed the well rope hanging down from the wellhead, and someone pulled him up.

"Come, eat a roasted yaksha, take a breath," the companion on the side stuffed a roasted black thing into his hand, but Wang Jiu really had no appetite, so he just fell to the ground on all fours, breathing in the fresh air. "If you can't eat it, you have to eat it." The one on the side obviously had a good relationship with Wang Jiu, so he persuaded him. "You only ate one on your head today, it's been more than two hours, how can you hold on if you don't eat."

"Brother Tiger, you can't pull this thing out after eating it." Wang Jiu wept with a sad face, now there is a great drought, and the water is very precious, so the water supply is twice a day in the morning and evening, and each time there is only about one bowl, and the captives cannot eat fresh vegetables and fruits, in this case, constipation is a common phenomenon. "It's better to change your saliva."

"Water, there is not a lot of water on the side of the well wall, I am really thirsty, just lick it on the side." Brother Hu joked with Wang Jiu, but it's not that no one has done this, but it's a pity that most of these people quickly got sick and died when the medicine was not enough, so they didn't dare to drink the turbid raw water when Wang Jiu was killed. "Don't dare to drink, then what else to say, boil it, when this bite is finished, you don't have to live this kind of life after two more sips."

"Brother Tiger, is it really just like this?" Wang Jiu took out the words he had been thinking about for a long time. "Now that there is a great drought in Taiwan, even if the fields are really distributed, isn't there no water yet? Although Zheng reverse, no, the Zheng family promised to lend us grain, seeds, and farm tools, but the loan has to be repaid, in case nothing grows in the ground, how can it be repaid at that time. ”

"You kid is thinking so far." Brother Hu praised Wang Jiu, and then his face sank. "That's true, but it's said that wells are being dug in Tunzhuang all over the country, didn't you see such a big waterwheel on the way here? If you want to get through it eventually, God doesn't necessarily have to stop raining all the time. ”

Wang Jiu thought about it and felt that there was some truth, but before he could respond, a long-lost aroma rushed into his nose, he jumped up suddenly, and glanced at Brother Hu: "It's broth, it's really fragrant!" ”

Wang Jiu's salivary glands secreted rapidly, but he also knew that these good things might not be enjoyed by a captive like himself, so he could only use his sense of smell instead of appetite, and like him, more than a dozen slave laborers who took turns to rest were sniffing wildly like dogs, salivating one by one, looking pitiful.

"Stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife." Brother Hu couldn't help but stand up, Wang Jiu didn't hold it, he saw Brother Hu walking over to Zheng Jun who was guarding them with a shy face, and he probably went to ask if there was a share of this broth.

Wang Jiu looked at him and nodded and said something to the other party, and when Brother Hu, who had a happy face, came back, Wang Jiu couldn't help but ask hopefully, "What do you say?" Is there a bite for us? ”

"Luck." Brother Tiger cracked his mouth and laughed. "Zhu Qin's reward for the management team, pickled whale meat, the management team used it to make soup." Wang Jiuke didn't care whether he was rewarded or not, he only cared if he had a share, so he listened to Brother Hu continue. "I burned two big pots, and the team couldn't eat so much, so I promised to give the hardest ones a copy each."

With the good news, Brother Hu seemed very interested, but Wang Jiu lay down on the ground again in frustration: "The team is not in the well again, does he know which one is the hardest?" The soil that was brought in could not be used as a witness. ”

"Otherwise, I'll talk to the horse management team." Brother Tiger's eyes looked a little flickering. "Ajiu, in fact, you are quite handsome, and the horse management team is also good to you, so why bother to suffer with the big guys."

Men's style is not a taboo topic in this era, "Book of Songs" in the "Zheng Feng" in the "Zijin", "Mountain Fusu", "Cunning Boy", "Clothes", "Yang Zhishui" and other chapters are rich in praise, the Warring States Period had An Lingjun, Longyang Jun included in the history, for which it also left the title of Yu Tao, Fen Tao and Longyang, the story of Emperor Wai and Dong Xian in the Han Dynasty is an allusion to the habit of breaking sleeves. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was because the moral concept also broke through the shackles of Song Confucianism that "destroyed people's desires and preserved heavenly principles", which made the behavior of men and women unprecedentedly prosperous and public, not to mention that later there were Cao Xueqin and Zheng Banqiao who openly wrote poems to describe -- this is also the reason why the Americans have not brought back the AIDS god from the rainforests of West Africa, and there is no record of willow and bayberry in ancient China, these are all biological and chemical weapons brought to the East by Europeans who only bathed twice in their lives.

Wang Jiu knew that Brother Hu had good intentions, but he didn't want to sell his Houting flowers, so he laughed and scolded half-truthfully and half-resentfully: "Brother Tiger, don't abuse people, okay, this is going to sell your ass, you sell it yourself." ”

Brother Tiger smiled, and was about to say a few words to Wang Jiu, when he heard a "boom", the sound was not very loud, but it was followed by a slight shaking, was it an earthquake? Wang Jiuru thought that there are not many other places in Taiwan that are a little more frequent than small-level earthquakes, but this time it seems a little unusual.

Before Wang Jiu and Brother Hu could figure out what was going on, a Zheng Jun management team who came back to their senses rushed to the mouth of the well, and then shouted: "Damn, it's the well that collapsed, hurry, come and save people." ”

Wang Jiu and Brother Hu rushed to the mouth of the well with a group of Qing army prisoners, only to see a terrifying depression on the ground on one side of the well, and then probed into the well, the first thing that caught their eyes was the broken wood and the fragments of wooden planks covered by more than a dozen tons of soil, and the sound of groaning was coming from the well.

Wang Jiu was the first to jump down, and Brother Hu also followed, because there are various supports, so the soil layer is not completely covered, but because of this, the new soil layer can't bear the weight, and it can't bear more people at all, so the two of them dig the soil and bear the soil, and the people above take turns to pour the soil, trying to reach the bottom of the well as quickly as possible.

"Be careful, if you can not move the broken wood, you will not move." The team said anxiously at the mouth of the well, although it was only a few prisoners of the Qing army, any death would make him reprimanded from above, so he couldn't help but care. "Even if you pull it out, you have to hold it up with a new one right away, don't save people and fold yourself in."

"Lin Tou, don't make trouble on the side." The Qing prisoners at the well pulled the team away. "Do we know that??"

Almost without food, the Qing army prisoners took turns against the scorching sun, and the new soil layer was not tight, and when the sun set in the west mountain, tens of thousands of catties of stones and soil had been removed, but at this time there was still the same amount of mud and stone under the well, but more importantly, the occasional moaning sound that could be heard before had disappeared unconsciously.

"The big guy did it overnight tonight." Wang Jiu called for it, but the faces of the Qing army captives were depressed, and they obviously had no hope. "Think about it, if you were buried underneath, would you think that someone would come to save you?" Brother Tiger roared. "It's just this one night, is it possible that you are going to let go?"

Brother Hu also followed and said: "Anyway, they all came to Taiwan together, if we really don't save them when we die, maybe they won't let us go, it's better to accumulate yin virtue." ”

The captives were silent one by one, Wang Jiu was anxious, he hurriedly ran to the management team and muttered, and soon turned back: "The management team said, when they will go down the well to save people, each person will be given a piece of whale meat, and the broth is enough!" ”

Perhaps attracted by the meat and broth that they hadn't tasted for a long time, or perhaps moved by Wang Jiu's spirit, the captives finally reacted?

"Ajiu, why are you so troubled?" Only Brother Hu knew what price Wang Jiu paid. "Is it worth it?"

Wang Jiu smiled bitterly, and said for a long time: "What is a pain in the butt, after all, it is a few lives."
