Mu Li didn't believe that the shopkeeper would be unmoved by money, she stretched out her hand to Chu Lingyi, but Chu Lingyi didn't react. Mu Li directly touched his hand into Chu Lingyi's waist and took out the silver tael.

"Well, can you talk about it now?"

The shopkeeper was attracted by Mu Li's money bag, but he was even more afraid that he would be cursed, "Who do you think of me?" The shopkeeper picked up a rag and wiped it in front of the table, in order to avoid Mu Li's questioning.

"I said, what are you afraid of, is there not enough gold, how much do you want to open your mouth?" According to the nature of the shopkeeper, he had already put away all the gold in the past, but now he was not tempted at all.

The shopkeeper avoided Mu Li, wiped this table, and ran to another table. "I'm busy, there's nothing else to do, you can leave quickly."

Chu Lingyi slapped his sword on the table, "Do you want to say it?" ”

The shopkeeper was startled, put away the rag in his hand, walked to the door and looked out for a long time, making sure that no one had closed the door, and then beckoned Chu Lingyi and Mu to leave.

"I will tell you secretly, but you must not say it and say that I said it. Besides, I don't want your money. The shopkeeper seemed to be afraid to mention it, and he didn't even dare to accept the silver.

Don't be the best, save money. "What's so mysterious, could it be that there really is a legendary water monster?"

As soon as Mu Li said the word water monster, the shopkeeper hurriedly told Mu Li to shut up. Then the shopkeeper began to inquire if any outsiders had walked through the door, and everything was so cautious.

"Hurry up, this sword is not vegetarian?" Chu Lingyi withdrew the hilt of the sword with his fingers, letting the sword come out of the sheath a little, and the shopkeeper hurriedly covered the sword.

"I won't tell you, it's not called a water monster, it's a water god. The water monster is the name of the villagers among our villagers, and it will come out on the first day of the door, and we all have to worship it as the god of water. ”

Before Mu Li finished listening to the shopkeeper's words, the laughing man turned his back on his horse, where are the gods and ghosts in this world. It's just artificial, just scaring each other.

"I said, girl, if you don't want to hear me, I won't say it, it's easy to be heard laughing so loudly."

Chu Lingyi patted Mu Li's shoulder and asked her to be serious. But Mu Li really felt funny, especially the shopkeeper usually looked like he was ignorant and proud, but he was afraid of being like this at this time.

"You continue to talk about the tired shopkeeper." Chu Lingyi, a cold man, actually had a serious face, and that appearance made Mu Li laugh even more.

The shopkeeper said that this incident began to spread in the village about a year ago, but the villagers didn't pay attention to it, and as a result, all kinds of strange things began to happen. The chickens and ducks in the villagers' homes disappeared inexplicably, and even the girls who were about to get married were also gone.

Not long after, a piece of paper suddenly appeared at the door of each villager's house, saying that the god of precipitation was protecting Hedong Village. The villagers didn't think so, but a few days later, another girl inexplicably disappeared before she got married. For a long time after that, there was no happy event in the village.

When Mu Li heard it, he was making a fool of himself, "Does that water god want you to sacrifice to him, all kinds of chickens, ducks, fish, and silver?" ”

"How do you know, don't you say, since the first day of the new month to worship it, the village has restored peace. But it is asking for more and more, where can the villagers get so many things? You all know what happened next, the water in the river suddenly disappeared. ”

This is too hateful, maybe they were the ones who stole the bamboo that night, what kind of water god and water monster, it was all to fool the people. Mu Li doesn't believe in this evil anymore, "Isn't the day after tomorrow the first day of the new year?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, telling Mu Li not to ask any more questions, and then he would come out again to make trouble. The girls in the village who have not yet come out of the pavilion have not come out for several days, and they are afraid that they will be targeted by the water god again.

If you want to accumulate wealth, you will be bright, and what is it to pretend to be a ghost. Mu Li decided to expose their true colors, so that the villagers didn't have to talk about it.

Mu Li discussed with Chu Lingyi, or hold a happy event to lure them out, so that they can know the reason for the disappearance of the river, and let the villagers not be afraid.

"No, it's too dangerous." Chu Lingyi did not advocate Mu Li's idea, and none of the villagers were willing to sacrifice their daughters, which obviously did not work.

Mu Li understood Chu Lingyi's concerns, "Don't worry, how could I let the villager's daughter go, of course I will go fishing myself." ”

As soon as Mu Li's words came out, Chu Lingyi directly refused. "This method doesn't work, this king will think of other ways."

How could Chu Lingyi let Mu Li be a bait, if something happened, wouldn't it cost Chu Lingyi's life. But it seems that there is no other way than this method.

Liuyun came, saying that he had dredged all the bamboo according to the drawings, and now he didn't know what to do, so he had to ask the princess for help.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now, and finish the matter in front of you." As soon as he encountered something related to Mu Li's safety, Chu Lingyi became very stubborn.

Mu Li didn't want to be awkward with Chu Lingyi at this time, after all, it was still the villagers who had the biggest water matter. Mu Li combined her modern water hose to distinguish the thickness of the bamboo, and put the thin end into the thick bamboo, so that the water would not seep out. In order to make it more convenient for the villagers to use water, Mu Li also drew a small section at each node to provide the villagers with washing or other uses. This way, there is no longer a queue of people to fight for water.

However, this was in ancient times, and many high-tech things could not be used, such as the use of pressure to pump water directly out of the well.

"It's finished, and now it's just a coolie." Mu Li means that someone should bring up the water at the well, so that the water can flow everywhere.

Chu Lingyi didn't say a word and tried it first, and it was really an eye-opener. I saw water flowing out of the bamboo pipe all the way to the ground. But there is a problem that Mu Li didn't think of, that is, there are many forked node ports, if no one uses them, wouldn't it be a waste of water.

However, Chu Lingyi quickly solved this problem, he wanted to plug the opening with a wooden stopper, and when he wanted to use it, he could pull out the wooden stopper.

The villagers' ability to snore, "It's amazing, it's really amazing." ”

Mu Li couldn't help but bow his head and laugh, of course it's great, I'm a person in the future.

"It's so awesome that I don't have to get up early to queue up for water anymore. Only, will the water in this big well run out? ”

The problems that the villagers are worried about are also what Chu Lingyi is considering, so it is necessary to find the reason for the disappearance of the river water as soon as possible, otherwise it will be impossible to maintain the water supply of Hedong Village for a long time just by relying on this well.
