"This part of the river will be better introduced from the upstream."

"I remember it was a stone quarry."

"Are you sure? Tomorrow you take someone to take a look, and if the scale is large enough, we will solve half of the materials for opening the canal. ”

After the two parted awkwardly, it was not until the evening that they came to the courtyard of Hatta's house for a meeting to study the problem of diverting water.

According to the previous idea, Su Ji proposed to divert water from the river not far away, and many people who did not understand the difficulties in this were happy to applaud and support, but only a few people, including Hata, who had been working for the village, raised the problem that the desert could not carry water.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as the scale of the stone yard is large enough, then it is basically no problem."

Jiang Yuan plans to make simple concrete for them, and the materials only need are: cement, water, sand, and stones, of which cement only needs lime powder, clay, and sand.

Cement is said to meet their needs, but in the long run, concrete aqueducts are more durable and better maintained.

When the villagers heard that the river could be brought to irrigate the dry land, they were excited to come and help.

Jiang Yuan even added chicken legs to his working meal.

So more people came.

Now every villager has a full stomach, the children no longer wail because of hunger, and the whole village is full of strength.

Su Ji listened to Jiang Yuan's suggestion and divided the personnel into five teams, one team was responsible for digging clay in the river, one team was responsible for transporting stones to the abandoned stone quarry, one team was responsible for burning and filtering the sand in the desert, and the other team was responsible for transporting water, and walking back and forth on the water diversion route they planned with a car, trying to get the flowing desert out of a "road" to facilitate the use of digging ditches in a few days.

There is also a final team led by Hatta to patrol the surrounding area of the village every day to prevent the prying eyes of the surrounding villages, and to prevent the governor or Zheli from coming to investigate or sneak attack.

Jiang Yuan took some women to the surrounding woods to collect rattans and thorns to find materials for the construction of the soft foundation of the canal.

After 7 days of such hectic work, the materials were finally almost ready.

Most of the stones are ground into powder, mixed with lime powder, clay powder, etc., as long as water is poured, it can be combined into solid concrete, and there are no small stones that have been grinded, and Jiang Yuan intends to spread them under the vines, using the principle of reaction force to delay the years of foundation subsidence.

Everything is ready, but the food is out of food at this critical time, the children are used to three meals a day, and suddenly the group of small things that run out of food immediately cry, the men set off again in the expectant eyes of the children and women, and their target this time is a state official who is farther away.

This time, Su Ji led 112 soldiers who passed the physical fitness test and left the village for nearly 3 days, but this time they didn't bring anything back.

This state official, who had just been sacked by a gang of desert thieves the other day, had a cleaner house than his face.

Jiang Yuan looked at the dejected Su Ji and asked him funny: "Why didn't you go to kill the thief?" ”

Su Ji raised her head, glanced at her expressionlessly, and said in a low voice: "There are too many thieves, and it is not something that this group of villagers can beat now." ”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, he was self-aware.

"Tomorrow you take 30 people and me to find that den of thieves."

In special circumstances, help him again, and the four escaped thief slaves, and she should also repay the life-saving grace of Shelly, right?!

That's right, it was the four desert poisonous snakes that Jiang Yuan had just rescued from this world.

People are indeed ruthless, and soon after leaving, they re-formed their own gang of thieves, and the four of them performed their own duties, and the division of labor was very clear, but in about three months, they could arm a gang of nearly 200 thieves, which was also very arrogant.

Even if most of these 200 people are refugees and people who can't survive and seek asylum, this is because they manage it well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan and Su Ji and their party came to the back of a hidden hill next to the canyon where the thieves gathered.

"I'll go in first, you wait for my news before entering, remember to wait for my news!"

After Jiang Yuan and Su Ji emphasized repeatedly, a phantory figure flashed, and the person was already standing at the gate of the canyon.

Thinking about her plan in her heart, she didn't look back at the person behind her, and she didn't see Su Ji's gloomy eyes that weren't quite right.

The long whip swung its tail like a silver snake, and it flew the three-meter-high rattan gate at once, and the thieves heard the movement, and many people rushed out viciously.

"Chief, it's a woman!"

"Hahaha, she looks pretty well, did the little girl come to join our desert snake?"

"Haha, women are good, there has been a shortage of women recently!"

A group of dirty men surrounded Jiang Yuan, and their faces were full of ill intentions and wanted to get closer.

"Spread out, it stinks."

Jiang Yuan covered her nose, and the whip turned again, pulling back the dozen or so people closest to her.

"Oops, I'm rubbing! Stinky girl is shameless to her face! ”

"Brothers, grab her and cook meat for your brothers."

A few obscene little men, as soon as they instigated in the back, there were stupid big ones rushing forward.

It's a pity that the whip won't save them face, but with a few crisp sounds, Jiang Yuan lay down in front of him, and everyone couldn't get up with their stomachs in their arms.

This woman's attack is black and ruthless, and she hits downward, and she can't dodge.

At this time, a lot of people ran out of the thieves' den, and this time they didn't look like a rabble, so they came to the door and quickly lined up on both sides, leaving a distance of more than two meters in the middle.

"Where did the children come from, let me take a look at ......"

Four men wrapped in noble shawls walked out of the back of the queue with slippers.

The little black and thin man who walked in the front couldn't help but shrink his pupils the moment he saw Jiang Yuan.

Why is this woman who looks down on her looks again.

"Yo, you four fugitives are having a good time."

Jiang Yuan flicked his whip and tilted his head to look at them.

"I've got to find it myself, do you think you deserve to die?"

The four of them didn't speak, they looked at each other silently, and after seeing the killing intent in each other's eyes, the little man nodded and waved his hand, pointing at Jiang Yuan: "Kill her!" ”

More than 200 thieves pounced on Jiang Yuan.

But the attack power is significantly worse than that of well-trained soldiers.

Jiang Yuan shuttled through it with ease, with a whip on the left and a whip on the right, like cutting leeks, without any pressure.

"Stop, stop, stop! Master, master, we know that we are wrong, we surrender to you, master spare your life, spare us! ”

I have to say that the reason why thieves live for a long time is reasonable, their ability to bend and stretch, and to say that they can coax this point, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

"All right, go and get the rope, you guys! They all went over there and squatted with their backs to me, their hands behind their backs. ”

More than 200 thieves were subdued by Jiang Yuan, and they honestly supported each other and squatted aside, and the four leaders also walked forward as if they were dejected.

Suddenly, one of the men, with tan skin and a sturdy physique, rushed to a dirt slope and stomped on the trap hard.

The ground at the entrance of the cottage collapsed instantly with a loud noise.

"Jiang Yuan~!"

Su Ji's eyes cracked, and he crawled in front of the huge dirt pit, and if it hadn't been for Hatta grabbing him tightly from behind, he would have fallen long ago.

"Jiang Yuan!"

Impossible, that woman with a bad heart and a knife knife, how could something happen so simply.

He hasn't done it yet, she's his, she can't be fine!

"Jiang Yuan!"

At this time, the pit was full of dust, and what was going on inside could not be seen from the pit, only the wailing sound could be heard from below.

Just now, there were still many thieves around Jiang Yuan who couldn't get up, or walked slower, these four people deserved the name of the desert snake, in order to keep their own lives, they didn't care whether others were dead or alive.

"Hahaha, stinky woman, do you really think you can be invincible with a little trick? Kowtow to you and shout saint, do you really think you can fly on the spot? Hahaha. ”

The four thieves leaders stood at the mouth of the pit opposite with gloating faces and laughed downward.

Although the smoke and dust were too big to see the situation below, they were fully convinced that Jiang Yuan would definitely die, and they had buried more than a hundred wooden thorns underneath, and people would either die or be injured if they fell.

Su Ji's eyes glazed over the deep pit.

He couldn't believe that a woman who embarrassed and angry himself at noon could fall into someone else's trap so easily.

Slowly the dust gradually dispersed, the huge pit was full of wooden thorns, and many thieves who fell were killed or injured, Su Ji nervously looked for the pink sari that Jiang Yuan was wearing in those crowds, and after looking around a few times and not finding it, he knew that she was such a bad person, and it would not be so easy for an accident.

"Big brother, people are not in it."

"Impossible! I saw her fall! ”

"Look for it again, you guys! Go down and find someone for me! ”

The four thieves leaders, commanding their younger brothers, prepare to enter the pit and search.

At this moment, a huge net fell from the sky with a trace of electricity, and immediately caught the four thieves leaders and a dozen cronies beside them.

And this is still a 1.3 million V power grid, and the control switch is held by Jiang Yuan.

After a buzz, everyone in the net had black heads and dirty faces, as if they had been struck by lightning, and they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground in an instant, and they could no longer resist at all.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to use such advanced props, but who let these thieves start so black, she originally wanted these four thieves to swear allegiance to Su Ji, but now it seems that the means of subduing have to be upgraded.

"Are you alright?"

Su Ji ran over from the edge of the pit, nervously saw her from head to toe, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that she was not a little embarrassed.

"I'm fine, you let them eat this pill, and at the same time swear to be loyal to you forever, never betray, never hurt, absolutely obey any orders from you, if you don't eat it, I will let them try the taste of being struck by lightning again."

The medicine to cure the disease was useless, but what about the poison, especially the Gu poison that she swore by in her heart, she was curious to try it.

If it succeeds, Su Ji will have one more hole card.

This kind of Gu poison is okay on weekdays, and it can still strengthen the body, but once you break the oath you made, you will definitely have a burst heart and die.

Su Ji avoided her gaze, took the Gu poison, held it tightly in the palm of her hand, and swore after letting those thieves eat it one by one, when she didn't want to, Su Ji retreated from the power grid and raised her hand, and Jiang Yuan discharged.

After a few times, everyone in the net took it, Jiang Yuan saw that they all took the medicine and swore an oath, so he put the net away, and there were two reckless men, as soon as they came out of the net, they attacked Su Ji, and their hearts burst on the spot, and they died on the spot.

"I warn you that since you have sworn an oath, you must not break it, and if you do something that violates your oath, these two people will be your fate."

Su Ji looked at the two corpses around her that suddenly had their hearts broken, and her whole body trembled a little with fright.

Jiang Yuan stood beside him at this time, wanting to help him, but was reflexively avoided by Su Ji, such a ruthless woman, he had only seen Zhe Li alone, and the character of a bad person like a holy father affected him after all.

“……”

Jiang Yuan withdrew his hand indifferently with an expressionless face, turned to leave, and ordered the four thieves to arrange for people to take out the grain, gold and silver treasures and bring them back to the village.

So by the time Su Ji came back to his senses from his contradictory thoughts again, Jiang Yuan had already returned to the village with a part of the gang of thieves pulling grain and jewelry.

The rest are digging stakes under the pit.

Su Ji scratched her head irritably, when Jiang Yuan saved him and cared about him before, he felt that her motives were impure, hypocritical and purposeful, but now she is resolute and clever, and he feels that she is cold-blooded and too calm, she seems to be just a puppet in her palm, it seems that she thinks about him in everything, but he doesn't look at her face first in everything.

The seed of doubt is planted without warning, and one day it will grow into a bitter fruit.
