Under Liu Xiu's repeated questioning, the father and son of Lausanne told the truth in a hurry.

Their injuries were caused by their participation in a group fight with the next village over water.

There is a small reservoir more than ten miles upstream of the small river in Linbian Village, and the water of the reservoir is related to the irrigation of fields on both sides of the river for nearly dozens of miles.

If the water from the reservoir flows to Linbian Village, most of the fields in Shanglin Village will not be able to irrigate, on the contrary, if it flows to both sides, nearly half of the fields downstream will not need water......

So, after a period of arguing between the two villages over the water supply of the reservoir, a chaotic fight involving hundreds of people was triggered a few days ago, and the injuries on the body of Lausanne's father and son came from this.

Until now, the water flow problem has not been completely solved, and it is not clear when the two villages will have to fight for this matter.

Knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Liu Xiu didn't know what to say, the reservoir didn't belong to a certain village, and it was built by the two villages many years ago.

Because of the fight for water, there is no way to divide the question of right and wrong, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and it is impossible for Liu Xiu to run to beat up the people in Shanglin Village for this.

Liu Xiu lived in the countryside when he was a child, and this kind of thing has also been experienced, and the situation of two villages fighting for water has happened from time to time, and the rural people's anger has not been serious, and there are no longer a few things that kill people, and even the official family is not easy to manage.

"In short, Mr. Liu, you don't care about this matter, the village chief will find a way to solve it" In the end, Daddy Lausanne said helplessly, in order to compete for water, the two villages have to do two cars almost every year, and everyone is used to it.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiu said entangledly: "It's not a way for you to go on like this, it's impossible to fight every year, right?" It's not a good thing to hurt anyone, not to mention, and it's not worth the loss if you delay things in the field."

"It's always been like this, what else can I do? Don't worry about it, I'll beat them up when I've healed from my injuries, and I'll be fine if I'm convinced," Lausanne raised his head and said angrily.

Liu Xiu was speechless, you are about to lose your arm and leg, and you are still fighting? Don't lose your life.

In fact, think about it, this is the real life of most people, the parents are short, trivial, those big things related to the common people, martial artists and the like are too far away from them, and it is a big deal to get entangled in the neighbors to fight.

With a flickering mind, Liu Xiu asked suspiciously: "I see that although the stream outside the village is not big, it also flows continuously all year round, and it stands to reason that it is completely enough to irrigate the fields, so there is no need to fight for water in the reservoir, right?" ”

Lausanne's father said: "This is true, but the fields are higher than the streams, and the water in the streams cannot flow into the fields, and the buckets and buckets cannot be used to water many dryland crops at the end of the day, and the rice fields need a lot of water, so when do you have to mention when to go?" Only the water in the upstream reservoir flowing down the ditch can be used for field irrigation."

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Liu Xiu said speechlessly, "You haven't thought about raising the water level of the stream on the spot to irrigate the fields?" ”

"Mr. Liu means to build another reservoir, right? That's not realistic, the fields are by the stream, and when the water level rises, it will flood a lot of fields, and besides, the stream is continuous all year round, and there is no way to repair the reservoir," said Daddy Lausanne, shaking his head.

Liu Xiu had a little headache and said, "You don't need to repair the reservoir, why don't you get a few waterwheels on the shore?" ”

"Water wheels? What is a waterwheel? Lausanne and his father looked at each other with a blank expression.

Yes, Liu Xiu estimated that he had to pretend to be an inventor again, and roughly explained the purpose of the waterwheel, and their father and son were suddenly shocked, there is still such a thing?

Liu Xiuxin said that the waterwheel can not only be used to raise the water level to irrigate crops, but also add a few simple devices to build a mill to grind flour and spring rice.

After pondering for a while, Liu Xiu saw that it was still early, and said: "Otherwise, go and find the village chief, gather the carpenters and blacksmiths in the village, and everyone will work together to get a waterwheel out today, and you will follow a few more to solve the problem of field irrigation once and for all, so that you don't have to fight with the next village for water in the future."

Although Liu Xiu is not a bad person, he doesn't want to see the villagers fight to the death every year in order to fight for water, and there is no need to hide it.

If this problem can really be solved, it will be a major matter for the whole village, and the ancestors will benefit from it for generations, and the Lausanne father and son can't sit still.

"Mr. Liu, wait a moment, I'll go to the village chief," said Father Lausanne, standing up on crutches.

Liu Xiu immediately stopped him and said, "Uncle, it's inconvenient for you to have an injury, so I'll go, take a few more steps."

"Then what's the matter, Mr. Liu, just sit down, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, where is the death, go and find your village chief and grandfather......"

Not long after, the old village chief who got the news came, and when he heard that Liu Xiu could make a waterwheel to solve the problem of field irrigation, he immediately left in a hurry to gather the carpenter and blacksmith.

Then, Linbian Village was lively, a large group of people came to the river, moved wood and began to build a waterwheel under the guidance of Liu Xiu.

In the jingling busy work here, a group of villagers from Shanglin Village slowly gathered on the other side of the river to watch, one by one holding knives, forks and sticks, and there was a lot of meaning that so many people gathered in Linbian Village wanted to fight or something, but this side didn't care about it at all.

The waterwheel is not a high-tech one, and even Liu Xiu only mentioned a rough idea, and the carpenter in Linbian Village understood that there were many people and great strength, and they were busy surviving, and they made a ten-meter-high waterwheel at noon.

When the waterwheel was installed in the small river, and the river washed the waterwheel and rotated to bring the water to a high place, the whole Linbian Village was a sensation, and people cheered.

The excitement was followed by sadness, and many people even knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, if there had been a watermill earlier, so many villagers would not have been disabled or even died due to the fight for water.

"Shanglin Village, the water of the reservoir is not disputed in Linbian Village, you can play by yourself, it is better to drown you"

"See? This is called a waterwheel, Mr. Liu said that it can not only be used to water the ground, but also to grind flour and rice, last year you learned to make mosquito coils in our village, this waterwheel you will also be shameless to learn, right? , I don't want to see you ...... again"

After the waterwheel came out, the effect was immediate, and the villagers who were not dealing with Shanglin Village immediately shouted at the villagers of Lin Village on the opposite side, and the villagers of Lin Village on the opposite side looked at the waterwheel in shock and dazed, and they couldn't catch their mouths when they looked at each other.

"Mr. Liu, you have helped us a lot again, I don't know how to thank you" The old village elder glanced at the waterwheel with tears, and immediately knelt down at Liu Xiu when he spoke.

Liu Xiu was startled, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "I can't help it, this will make the younger generation lose his life, and it's a matter of effort, and I just came up with an idea, and it's everyone who does it, and I can't afford such a big gift."

"Make it, Mr. Liu, you don't know how much you have to reduce the deaths and injuries caused by fighting for water after having a waterwheel, it's just a gesture for you, but for us, it's a big thing for countless living people, so you must kneel to me" The old village elder said with tears in his eyes, insisting on kneeling for Liu Xiu.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, please accept our kneeling ......"

Here Liu Xiu still didn't dispel the old village chief's stubborn kneeling, and after the other villagers reacted, they didn't know who was snorting, so a group of people knelt down at Liu Xiu.

Thinking of the fact that when he was a child, his hometown village was also killed and injured because of the fight for water, Liu Xiu fully understood the mood of these villagers, and his eyes were a little red.

Facing the villagers who knelt on the ground, Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What are you doing, get up, I'm just raising my hands, if you do this again, I won't set foot in your Linbian Village anymore, I will do what I say, if you don't get up immediately, I'll turn around and leave!" ”

Seeing this, the villagers were afraid that Liu Xiu would really get angry and turn around and leave, so they had to get up, but they looked at Liu Xiu's eyes one by one, and the gratitude was overflowing......

Seeing that the villagers were all up, Liu Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and these villagers knelt down and kowtowed at every turn, which was also the reason why Liu Xiu did not set foot in the village very much.

Next, while the iron was hot, the old village chief arranged for the villagers to get a few more water trucks out to solve the irrigation problem once and for all.

Liu Xiu didn't care about the follow-up, but just warned some precautions for oiling the bearings of the waterwheel to reduce friction damage, explained the idea of the mill, and then returned to Lausanne's house.

It was already afternoon, and Lausanne's mother had already arranged a table of food, which was warmly kept at his house, and Liu Xiu stayed to eat.

However, during the meal, there was a farce, but the old village chief and several villagers used crutches to bring Lausanne's sister-in-law to Liu Xiu and asked her to make amends.

Liu Xiu couldn't cry or laugh when asked, but it was Luosang's sister-in-law who thought that his medical books were valuable things, so she stole a few copies and asked the village if they could sell them for money, but the source of the medical books was found out by the village in a few words, and this is what happened.

As a result, the Lausanne family was ashamed, and after the medical book was returned, they were all kinds of accompaniment.

This matter is neat, Liu Xiu is angry and funny, although people like Liu Ying are a bit disgusting, Liu Xiu can't really do anything to her, staying in this family will only add chaos to this family, simply out of sight, immediately after the meal, he sorted out those medical books and left to go back to the mountain.

Originally, the old village chief wanted some villagers to help Liu Xiu transport Liu Xiu back to the mountains, but Liu Xiu carried a large bundle of books like a small mountain with one hand and waved his hand away.

Liu Ying, who saw this scene, was almost scared, and was very glad that Liu Xiu didn't bother with her, otherwise she wouldn't have slapped her to death......
