Chapter 70: The Night Wanderer
Gu Changye took a pen and paper and asked Gu Junlan to write down the method of converting dry land into paddy fields.
This is the hardest and most critical step.
In order for all the fields in the village to be watered, ditches had to be dug.
It's a big project.
However, since Gu Junlan told Lin Bei the method, this is not in the category of her concern.
Lin Bei held the piece of paper and rushed back to the county like a baby.
Gu Changye wanted to stay with Gu Junlan for dinner, but she refused.
Because she has more important things to do.

It's night.
Gu Junlan, who had already surveyed the terrain in the past two days, waited until the sky was completely dark, and pulled out a dark cardigan that Gu Shi did not often wear from the house.
I took a pair of simple wooden stilts and a hemp rope that I had made in the past two days and went out.
By the moonlight, Gu Junlan ran to Liu Zhaodi's house.
At this time, the Liu family had already turned off the lights, and when they heard that there was no movement inside, Gu Junlan went around to the back door.
A jujube tree was planted behind the Liu family's house, and half of its branches had reached into the backyard.
After calculating the distance, Gu Junlan tied the things to his body, hugged the body of the tree with his hand and climbed in along the trunk of the tree.
Jumped into the courtyard of Liu's house, touched the stove room, put on his clothes, tied his hair in a ponytail, grabbed a handful of ash from the bottom of the pot and smeared it on his face.
After dressing up and tying stilts to his legs, he tied a handful of weeds with hemp rope and hung it on his face.
After a while, in the dim light, a fierce-looking 'giant' staggered towards the Liu family's bedroom.

Zhao Xiangyun hasn't come back yet, Liu Manxi has been doing a day's work, and he has already made a loud noise.
Liu Zhaodi was chattering in the main room.
Thinking about whether the rumors he spread would make Gu Junlan too scared to go out.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a dark shadow flash on the window, swaying up and down very rhythmically.
"Who is it?" Liu Zhaodi felt inexplicably excited in her heart.
No one answered outside.
The clatter came closer and closer, and when it reached the door, it creaked and pushed the door open a crack.
At this moment, Liu Zhaodi was so frightened that her hairs stood up.
His eyes were glued to the crack in the door, and he didn't dare to come out.
Slowly, a tall, head-to-toe black figure leaned in.
"You, you, who are you......"
Looking at the person in front of him who only showed the whites of his eyes, Liu Zhaodi was so frightened that her upper and lower teeth were fighting.
"You, but Liu Zhang!" A hoarse voice came, full of anger like a demon coming out of the darkness.
"IāI..."
Liu Zhaodi was so scared that she wanted to faint at this time, but her brain was more sober than ever.
"Looks like it's you." The dark shadow nodded, and his rough voice paused for a moment, then raised his voice.
"This god hears in your heart that someone accuses you of spoiling food, and you can confess your sin!"
Liu Zhaodi cried and shook her head in a panic.
"There is no best, this god tells you, lying will bring harm to the blessings of future generations!"
Just this sentence scared Liu Zhaodi so much that she was almost speechless, but thinking of the last sentence said by the giant in front of her, she had to nod her head desperately.
"Great, great! Don't, don't look for my grandson, I'm all my fault! ā
For so many years, no matter how old her son Liu Manxi is, he has not been able to give birth to a child, and this matter has long become Liu Zhaodi's heart disease.
