In the end, the two did not gather many people, only Lei Chunze, Huang Shumin, Wu Chenggong and less than 10 others.

Mink Ruxiao looked at the situation of the people, and found that in addition to his apprentices, the other few people were either thin and weak, or some old people, who naturally did not play a role in carrying water, but their enthusiasm was always worth affirming, so he said: "Now that the drought season is coming, the villagers are waiting for water, and we must show determination to overcome the difficulties this time, so that the villagers can see hope!" ”

Mink Ruxiao made a simple opening remarks, wanting to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

So with Mink Ruxiao and the apprentices as the mainstay, supplemented by several other people, a vigorous water lifting movement was launched, the villagers saw that Mink Ruxiao himself was dispatched, and he was embarrassed to sit at home, all of them began to lift water with their own buckets, some of the elderly who were slightly worse also took the initiative to go into battle, several people jointly carried a bucket of water, and for a while the entire Daoxiang Village street flowed endlessly, so everyone carried water for a day against the sun, many people even suffered from heat stroke, and the rice of Daoxiang Village gradually showed some color under the nourishment of water. As the sun went down, the sky darkened faster, so the water-lifting movement was disbanded and everyone went home.

When Yuyi returned to his residence, he was already sweating profusely, and because it was a dry season, water was relatively scarce, so he simply wiped off the sweat with a towel.

In the next few days, everyone's enthusiasm decreased, the number of wounded increased, and the water that could be provided to the rice every day became less and less, and about the third day, the land was reduced to the beginning of the cracked shape, and if it continued, the rice would die again, so the villagers surrounded Mink Ruxiao's mansion and asked him to come forward and think of a way.

The method of organizing young adults in the village to carry water was already the best way that Mink Ruxiao could think of, and now it ended in failure. What else can be done after this, every day is a scorching sun, and even the lake in the west of the village can feel a slight drop with the naked eye.

"Lord Mink, please think of a way, if this continues, our family will starve to death!"

Seeing that Mink Ruxiao was always silent, an old man suddenly ran to Mink Ruxiao and knelt down. Yu Yi saw it really from the side, if it wasn't for the great difficulties, the old man wouldn't have been like this.

"Please hurry up, we'll figure it out!"

Mink Ruxiao stepped forward to help the old man up, kindly comforting, but in fact, he had no clue at all.

Mink Xue saw that her father frowned, and she couldn't help herself, so she cried anxiously.

Seeing this, Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. During this time, he also felt the embarrassment of not having water, he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, his body was a foul smell, and the frequency of drinking water was forced to decrease, and his lips were always dry.

"Go to the Dragon King Temple in the county, I want to ask for it, I believe I will be able to impress the Dragon King and let him rain to solve the urgent needs of Daoxiang Village."

Or thought of something, Mink Xue stopped crying, she planned to go to the Dragon King Temple to worship and solve her father's difficulties.

"Don't be stupid, the dragon king doesn't exist, and whether it rains or not is related to the climate."

Yu Yi knew that Diao Xue was now sick and rushed to the doctor, and the Dragon King was a feudal superstition, so he thought it was necessary to persuade the other party.

"Hmph, then what do you say, if it goes on like this, Daoxiang Village and we will all starve to death!"

Mink Xue's mood fluctuated greatly, and when she saw that Yuyi was disrespectful to the Dragon King, she was immediately displeased.

Yu Yi sighed deeply, he knew that it was useless to say anything now, if he didn't come up with a solution for a day, the grain in Daoxiang Village would be less, and the rice in Daoxiang Village would die.

"Baby, put down the shovel in your hand, get dirt all over the place, be careful that I spank your ass!"

At this time, Yuyi noticed that a child was shoveling dirt with a small shovel on the ground not far away, and after he scooped up the soil, he threw it into the air, causing dust everywhere, and his mother was very angry and snatched the child's shovel, making the child cry non-stop.

Yuyi remembered some of the contents of "Huainanzi" about water conservancy, and finally thought of a solution.

"Everyone, calm down, I think of a way!"

Just as everyone was talking, and some villagers were even emotional and about to riot, a voice was heard.

So everyone quickly withdrew from Mink Ruxiao's side and surrounded Yuyi.

"Hmph, there is no way to even Ermine Ruxiao, what can this young man do, is he more capable than Lord Mink?"

"That's it, I think he just wants to tease us, let's go up and teach him a lesson."

"Don't be impulsive, I think you can listen to what he has to say first, if not, it's not too late to teach him a lesson."

For a while, the villagers continued to talk about it, some thought that Yuyi was teasing everyone, and some thought that Yuyi really had a way, and the two parties quarreled so much that they almost started to move.

"Let's be quiet first, if you continue to make such a noise, I won't be able to talk about it!"

Yuyi injected part of the internal energy into the sound, and finally covered all the sounds on the scene, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

"Can you lend me your shovel for a while, uncle, will you pay it back as soon as you run out?"

Yuyi walked straight to the child under everyone's surprised gaze and borrowed a shovel from him.

"Didn't you say you were going to tell us a solution to the water problem, what did you do when you ran over and borrowed a shovel?"

For Yuyi's behavior, everyone fell into confusion.

"Yes."

The child seemed very friendly and quickly handed the shovel into Yuyi's hands.

"What kind of mystery are you kidding, what can a shovel have to do with a water source?"

Lei Chunze finally couldn't help it anymore and stood up from the crowd.

"Brother Lei, don't you know this, in our place, there is a problem of water shortage in many places to varying degrees, especially in the northwest, where there is no water all year round, and many places have degraded into deserts, so I thought of a solution, we call it South-to-North Water Diversion."

Yuyi held a shovel and talked eloquently.

"What is the South-to-North Water Diversion?"

At this time, Mink Ruxiao, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"Master, the south-to-north water diversion is to transfer water from the south to the north!"

Yuyi explained.

"I know what you mean, that is, someone went to the Dragon King Temple to offer incense, and the Dragon King was moved, so he transferred the water from the south to the north with a spell."

After going around for a long time, Mink Xue seemed to be pale, and it was the Dragon King who appeared.

"What is the dragon lord, the south-to-north water diversion project is a very huge project, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, you don't have to guess what it is, I will talk about the inspiration of this incident for us to solve the water problem."

For Mink Xue's answer, Yuyi felt a little helpless, so she had to go straight to the point.
