Chapter 573: If I Disappear, Will You Be Satisfied?
Pei Shu is writing at the desk.
He not only has to do the things of the county order, but also takes care of the administrative work of Shen Changbai County, he has been so busy that he has not returned home for several days, and has been living in the backyard of the county government.
When Pei Shu saw her coming, he put down his pen and beckoned, "Come here." ”
Ruan Ling obediently walked up to him.
Pei Shu pulled her to sit on his lap and laughed softly: "Look at your skinny bones." I've been busy lately, and I haven't been able to take care of you, so you need to eat more. ”
"It's okay if I don't eat a few meals, but you, what are you busy with?" Ruan Ling looked at his desk.
It's actually some drawings.
There were a lot of things drawn densely, and she couldn't understand it, so she smiled and said, "Have you learned to draw talismans from Taoist priests?" ”
Pei Shu smiled: "What kind of drawing, this is channel water conservancy." ”
"yes, show me." Ruan Ling picked up the drawings and looked at them, pointing to one place, "What is this?" ”
Pei Shu looked at it and said with a smile: "This is a waterwheel, I designed it, you can step on water from other places to this place......"
He explained it to her.
Ruan Ling looked at it for a while and sighed, "Ashu, you are really a talent. However, there is still room for improvement. ”
She used some of the knowledge principles she saw in modern times to help Pei Shu's waterwheel improve, and when she saw Pei Shu's eyes shining, she hugged her and kissed her fiercely.
"My Ling'er is amazing!"
"Your Ling'er is even more powerful." Ruan Ling smiled, "I'm here to ask you, there is a drought here, when are you going to hold a sacrifice and beg me for rain?" ”
"Rain...... There is no hurry. ”
"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Ruan Lingqi said, "Seeing that it was time to plant rice, the people were in a hurry. Not to mention the Ruan family, my father, mother, and brothers, even my mother-in-law, she is also anxious every day. Why aren't you in a hurry? ”
The magistrate also has the responsibility of supervising the farmers, and if the people here fail to cultivate well, he, the magistrate, will also be held accountable, and his reputation and future will be affected.
Pei Shu said: "I know it in my heart." You see, I've been working for a long time to design a waterwheel, and as long as it's installed, there will be water here......"
"Ashu, how long will it take for you to load this waterwheel, and will you be able to catch it in time?" Ruan Ling said, "Even if you can catch up, there are so many people in the county, how many waterwheels do you have to load?" Have you calculated how much money it will cost? ”
"I've thought about all of this......"
"Ashur, what the hell is going on with you?" Ruan Ling frowned, "As long as you hold a sacrifice, I will make it rain!" Isn't that the fastest and most effective way to do it? Why bother to go far. Or do you simply not trust me and my ability to rain? ”
"Where do you think of it?" Pei Shu pinched the tip of her nose, "How could I not believe you." I just thought that using a water wheel is a long-term method, and I won't always rely on you to be an immortal......"
"What you say, if the people don't need our gods, why do we need to exist?! If I'm gone, you're satisfied? Ruan Ling thought of the desolation of the gods in the later generations, and thought of the purpose for which he was forced to come here, and suddenly became a little angry.
She jerked to her feet, turned and walked away.
"Ling'er, Ling'er!" Pei Shu hurriedly grabbed her, "How could I want you to disappear?" I'm just, just ......"
"Just what?"
"I don't want you to get hurt because of this." Pei Shu had no choice but to tell the truth, "I know that such a large area of rain as you requires a lot of divine power, and you are very tired, and you will be injured at least and retreat at worst. So I ...... I don't want you to get hurt about it. I'd like to try something else. ”
