Nineteen waterfalls around the lake in the basin mountain, originally a barren mountain basin, and later through artificial excavation, nineteen waterfalls were created, and the water of the big river was introduced into the belly of the basin, thus forming a huge lake, carrying the Shangshui Palace with high stacks of buildings.

However, the flow path of the basin mountain is shallow, and it is difficult to remove the water, and if it is in the season of mountain rain, the lake will rise sharply and flood the floors, causing serious waterlogging.

In order to solve the drainage problem, a sluice gate was built in the middle of the mountains surrounding the lake! Whenever the lake rises, the sluice gates can be opened to drain the water out of the mountain and distribute it to various tributaries to control the water level of the lake.

Maybe it's in disrepair, or maybe it's suddenly damaged...... In short, a few months ago, the sluice gate collapsed, and it was just in time for the rainy season, and the surging water of the lake flooded half of the Shangshui Palace.

Seeing that the lake level was still rising, Shang Qianshui hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, scraping together, and finally raised a sum of money to ask the team to repair the sluice.

However......

"Don't, stop it!"

Knowing that the team was coming to smash the sluice, Shang Qianshui rushed to stop him.

"Hmph, now your master has appeared!"

A sturdy rough man picked up a sledgehammer and glanced at the three sweaty 'common meals' standing beside him with a fierce gaze.

Ah Ben stubbornly resisted this ferocity and walked forward, "Master Lu, if you have anything to say, why bother to make a big fuss......

"Phew, get out of here!" Then Lu Ye raised his foot and kicked Ah Ben away, "If you have anything to say, wait for your young master to come and tell me!" ”

"Yes, yes, everything is negotiable, negotiable! Please don't do it......" In order to drag the situation, Ah Chang and Ah Fan also came up to mix a few words.

"I'll smash!!"

Foreman Lu roared, and violently raised his sledgehammer and smashed it into the wall, cracking several large cracks in the stone wall, and scattering dust and lime.

"Wait, it's coming!"

Over there, Ah Jiake finally brought Shang Qianshui over.

Foreman Lu looked at Shang Qianshui panting and hurriedly running, grinned, and shouted at the group of Ding workers brought behind him, "Smash it all for me!" ”

"Hey!!"

As soon as the foreman drank, the gang of workers raised their sledgehammers one after another, and they were about to smash into the wall of the sluice!

"Don't!" Shang Qianshui shouted, stepped forward, and stood in front of the big hammer held high by Lin Li, "This sluice can't be smashed!" ”

The rows of bright and shaking sledgehammers not only did not slow down, but also smashed towards Shang Qianshui's body more ruthlessly, and the 'commonplace' was so frightened that his face was blue and sweaty, and he pounced to pull Shang Qianshui away.

Ah Chang held down Shang Qianshuidao, "Young master, you can't mess around like this, if you have any losses, the palace master will kill us!" ”

"Ah, I'm sorry......" Shang Qianshui listened, hugged the ball and lowered his head......

Ah Fan also said, "Yes, the palace master is angry, he will kill us first and then chop, chop and then fry, fry and steam, steam and ......."

Ah Jia couldn't help kicking Ah Fan away, and said to Shang Qianshui, "Young master, you try to talk to Foreman Lu and ask him to give us a few days of accommodation." ”

"Ahh Good, good ......"

Shang Qianshui hugged the ball and bit his lip, anxious but didn't know what to do, but seeing that the group of Ding workers had begun to swing the sledgehammer, smashing hard, and there were several cracks in the sluice wall that were getting bigger and bigger......

"Don't talk nonsense, just one word, money!"

Seeing Shang Qianshui's timid appearance, Foreman Lu yelled at him even more unceremoniously, "If you can't collect any more money today, I'll smash your sluice!" ”

"No, it can't be like this!" Shang Qianshui hugged the ball tightly in his arms, suppressed the panic in his heart, and begged, "I will continue to think of a way for money, can you please be accommodating for a few days?" ”

"Are you deaf?! I said, I'm going to get the money today!! ”

Shang Qianshui's body shrank tremblingly at his roar, "That, that...... The sluice gate was also repaired by your workers, and now it is only a matter of a few days, so wouldn't it be a pity to smash it......"

"Oh, the little young master wants to come and reason with my Lu Tou?!" As he spoke, Foreman Lu picked up his big hammer and forced Shang Qianshui a few steps, his tall and sturdy body shrouded Shang Qianshui in a shadow.

"No......" Shang Qianshui took a few steps back with a slight tremble, "That...... I just want to ask you not to smash this sluice......"

Foreman Lu grinned, "The sluice gate is repaired by us, even if it is ours!" The little money you paid at the beginning was not enough to divide the head. I'll give you money to repair the sluice, and I'll give you a few months of free use, so I don't treat you well if you do this, little young master? ”

Shang Qianshui bit his lip and was silent, Foreman Lu approached, bent over to his cheek, and exhaled a rough breath that made Shang Qianshui shrink uncomfortably.

"Yo, why didn't the little young master suddenly speak again, still waiting for you to move those lips to talk to me!"

As soon as Foreman Lu finished speaking, the Ding workers who were smashing the sluice gate immediately burst into laughter!

Shang Qianshui didn't understand what they were laughing at, but he felt embarrassed inexplicably, his face couldn't help but flush, and he hugged the ball in his arms with both hands......

"One, one day, just one day!" Shang Qianshui was so nervous that his breathing was messed up, and his voice trembled unsteadily, "Please give me a day, I will get the money!" ”

Foreman Lu laughed a few times, and then roared, "One day?! How far is enough for you to run in a day!? ”

"I, I...... Rest assured, I assure you, you won't run......"

Seeing Foreman Lu approaching step by step, Shang Qianshui could only keep retreating until his back was cold, but he had hit the stone wall.

"Guaranteed?" Foreman Lu foamed, "Listen! Today, I'm either going to smash this sluice gate for you, or you're going to pull out something of value for me! ”

As he spoke, he fiercely grabbed Shang Qianshui's arm!

"Wow, it's cold!" The cold breath seeped straight into his skin and bones, and Foreman Lu's pupils shrank, revealing a hideous expression, "What kind of body are you!" ”

Shang Qianshui was frightened and couldn't help shouting, "Don't, let it go!" ”

Seeing that Foreman Lu took the initiative to take the initiative against Shao, the four of them immediately rushed up to stop it, and the group of sledgehammer workers on the side who were smashing it vigorously saw that there was a fight, and they all rushed over to join in the fun!

In the chaos, I suddenly heard a scream like killing a pig!

"Ahh?!!h Foreman Lu covered his forehead that had been smashed by a silver ingot, stared at him angrily, "Who smashed it, get out of here!" ”

The sluice gate was built on the mouth of the lake in the mountains, and at this moment it was almost dusk, and the setting sun passed through the branches and leaves, scattering mottled broken shadows, and a golden and bronze bright spot flickered for a few moments, a little dazzling, and everyone squinted their eyes and looked at a man who was walking leisurely......

This man, of course, is Gao Zhiren.

When Shang Qianshui saw him coming, he was a little surprised, a little happy, a little relieved, and a little annoyed......

They had just fallen out and were still in the stage of ignoring each other, Shang Qianshui thought that he would not take the initiative to appear, let alone ask him to help him......

Two or three steps up to the sluice, Gao Zhi gave up a smile on his face, stepped on the sluice wall a few feet, 'click', only to see that the cracks that were smashed open were a few inches deep, then he walked to Shang Qianshui's side and greeted, "Qianshui, are you cold?" ”

Shang Qianshui looked at him stunned and whispered, "Don't be cold......"

"Are you hungry?" Gao Zhiqi asked again.

"Stop, you ......"

Gao Zhiqi raised his hand to stop what Shang Qianshui was about to say, and continued to ask, "Qianshui, is this really Shangshui Palace?" ”

“………”

"Are you really the young master of Shangshui Palace, Shang Qianshui?"

“………”

Shang Qianshui suddenly wanted to scold Gao Zhiqi for being a bastard, but he never scolded others, and the first time was given to him, and now he is not angry to scold the second time......

"Who are you!!"

Foreman Lu raised the sledgehammer and shouted angrily. However, the hands are shaky, and so are the feet. I felt that after this man appeared, the atmosphere on the spot changed suddenly, and the momentum of no anger and self-authority made everyone dare not take half a step closer to him.

Gao Zhiqi ignored the people around him, only looked at Shang Qianshui, and seemed to guess his thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Do you know? Qianshui, you're not doing it right. ”

"What?" Shang Qianshui was stunned.

"This is the sluice gate that others have advanced money to repair, and it is of course someone else's business to smash or dismantle, you didn't pay the wages, and you have to come here to hinder others from smashing it, which is really unreasonable."

"I ......" was said by him, and Shang Qianshui was suddenly speechless. I felt uncomfortable, so I had to hold the ball and lower my head, "But...... Without sluice drainage, the house will soon be flooded......"

"Qianshui, ah......" Gao Zhiqi sighed, and said softly, "I see that this sluice gate is about to be smashed, and you can't stop it, and then they will definitely ask you to pay for repairing the sluice again, you can't pay the wages, and they will come back after a few months to continue smashing." Smash and knock, knock and smash, they just keep pestering you, what's going on? ”

"Stop!" Shang Qianshui suddenly exhaled, raised his head, and looked at Gao Zhiqi with his eyes fixed, full of amazement......

Foreman Lu widened his eyes and concealed his cowardice by roaring, "Who are you, dare to meddle in your affairs!" ”

Gao Zhiqi didn't look at it, he roared by himself, and only said softly to Shang Qianshui, "Qianshui, I'll be the master of this matter for you, okay?" ”

"Stop abandoning ......" Shang Qianshui looked at him, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help himself. Before I even thought about the other party's words, I only heard him ask himself 'is it good', so he couldn't help but nod his head......

"Good ......"

Gao Zhiqi smiled, gently pinched the two strands of hair on his cheeks, and then took out the copper water scoop around his waist and held it in his hand.

Foreman Lu stared at the bronze scoop, and suddenly roared and laughed, "Hahahahaha!! All on, smash this pretending stinky boy to smithereens! ”

With an angry scolding, Foreman Lu raised his sledgehammer and rushed towards Gao Zhiqi, and the group of Ding workers under his command immediately roared, and several rows of sledgehammers fell to the place where Gao Zhiqi and the monk Qianshui were standing.

Gao Zhiqi calmly stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Shang Qianshui's waist, and the soles of his feet jumped with force, taking him into the air. In the meantime, the soft and cold feeling still made him frown......

"Abandon?" Shang Qianshui looked at him puzzled.

Gao Zhi was silent, only to see his arm and wrist flexibly drive the water scoop to rotate, a stream of air rose, and the strong wind gathered more and more, forming a wind wall around the two of them.

The wind blew the dust and sand, blinding the eyes of the group of iron hammers, and the strong wind gathered, forcing them back from rushing forward, Gao Zhiqi narrowed his eyes, turned the water scoop over, and swung his arm violently!

In an instant, the wind was blowing, and the loud sound of 'boom' resounded in the sky, Shang Qianshui was surprised, looked down at it, and couldn't help shouting, "Sluice!" ”

At the same time, the 'homely meals' who were hiding in the distance to avoid the limelight also shouted in unison, "Flood gates!! ”

Gao Zhiren's blow shattered the entire sluice!!

The stone wall cracked open, and the lake water rushed out of the gap, crashing into a larger hole, and the surging momentum was out of control! The gate completely collapsed, the bricks, mud, sand, earth and stones all fell into the turbulence, and even the Foreman Lu and his group of angry and roaring iron hammers were all washed out of the basin mountain by the flood, and the scene can be described as breathtaking......

Gao Zhiqi calmly withdrew the water scoop, turned around in mid-air, hugged Shang Qianshui horizontally with both hands, avoided the ball in his arms very carefully, and then fell onto a tree trunk.

The wind crosses, the leaves are flying, and under the sunset, a pair of deep shadows cling to it......

Shang Qianshui was in Gao Zhi's arms, and gently called to him, "Stop abandoning ......"

"Huh?" Gao Zhiqi lowered his head and watched the breeze blowing the silk hair on both sides of Shang Qianshui's cheeks, and his eyes were as bright as water.

"You're not angry?" Shang Qianshui asked him softly.

Gao Zhiqi smiled gently, "What about Qianshui, are you still angry with me?" ”

"Won't ......"

"That's good."

"But ......," Shang Qianshui said in a low voice, "the sluice gate at home ......"

Gao Zhiqi nodded, "Yes, I know." ”

"What should I do, even the second floor is going to be flooded......" Shang Qianshui stared at Gao Zhiqi's face that was close to the jade tree, and his voice became lower and lower.

"It's okay, there's a higher room upstairs up the waterfall."

With a palpitation in his heart, Shang Qianshui looked at Gao Zhishui with his eyes fixed, and Gao Zhiqi also looked at Shang Qianshui intently.

"Abandon ......"

"Thousand Water ......"

The two of them gradually drew closer to each other, closer and closer, closer and closer......

"Ah!!h

This is, the ball in Shang Qianshui's arms hit Gao Zhiqi's chest!

"Ahh!!hh

This is, Shang Qianshui, who was in Gao Zhiqi's arms, fell from the tree!

"Ahhh!!h

This is the terrible appearance of running to see their faces covered in mud!

Good, good, how can it be bad!

………

As the water slowed down, the place was a mess and dilapidated. 'Commonplace' ran over, with their own complicated expressions......

Ah Fan was thinking: Great! The young master is safe and sound, the four of them don't have to be killed by the palace master, chopped and fried, fried and steamed, and steamed......

Ah Chang was thinking: Oh no! The section of the building that was smashed by the catfish has not been repaired, and it has been made a mess here, and the family is becoming more and more unable to make ends meet......

Ah Jia was thinking: Eh! This man has a good mind, high martial arts, and looks quite reliable, do you want to ask the young master to keep him? Eh, it doesn't seem right, what is this man doing here to our house??

Ben was thinking: Hmm...... The sun is about to set, should I make a sound to remind the young master that the time for him to 'start' is coming......

At this end, the common thing is that they have their own ideas and fall into thought.

Over there, Gao Zhiqi monk Qianshui had already gotten up from the muddy ground, unkempt and unkempt, so embarrassed but interesting.

Shang Qianshui picked up the ball, wiped his mud-stained face with his mud-stained sleeve, and then looked left and right...... After the flood, the collapsed gate is clogged with rubble, and if there is any heavy rain, the lake will surely rise.

"I still need a sluice......," Shang Qianshui sighed lowly.

"No problem," as if he had been prepared, Gao Zhiqi took out a written letter from his arms, "Yongping Street, Yueliang City, the largest shop at the door of the fifth house on the left, take my letter to the boss, and say that Gao Zhiqi of Baitong Inn wants to build a sluice gate around the lake of the Nineteen Waterfalls in Penshan. ”

"Stop abandoning ......" Shang Qianshui looked at him in disbelief......

Gao Zhiqi threw the letter to the Ah family on the other end, "This family is a hard-working person, and Tong Su is not bullied, I can assure you that a new and impregnable sluice gate will soon appear here." ”

"Is this really good? I, I may owe you a long time......" As he spoke, Shang Qianshui lowered his head.

Gao Zhiqi waved off the mud on his hand and gently wiped his cheeks for him, "It's okay, as long as you are willing to promise me, don't say that one sluice, even a hundred will not be a problem." ”

"Promise what?" Feeling the temperature between the man's fingers, Shang Qianshui trembled slightly.

"Qianshui, since we have become friends......"

Shang Qianshui's eyes flickered, "We're going to do what our friends do??" ”

Gao Zhiqi nodded and said softly, "Friends, just need to help each other." For example, I helped Qianshui repair a sluice, and Qianshui agreed to a request. ”

"Okay!" Shang Qianshui smiled and immediately agreed.

It's good, I've finally coaxed him this time!

Gao Zhiqi was silently excited in his heart...... This strength was not in vain, and his first victory in ten years was finally coming! After messing with Shang Qianshui of this Shangshui Palace, he can immediately rush back to Yueliang City and report the good news to his nagging father who is not his own!

After stabilizing his emotions, Gao Zhiqi said softly to Shang Qianshui, "Qianshui, please promise me, in the name of martial arts, as the young master of Shangshui Palace, you and I Gao Zhiqi will have a fight here, okay?" ”

"Good!" Shang Qianshui agreed.

Hearing this, Gao Zhiqi smiled humbly on his face, and the waves were calm.

However, this is the inner world......

Ahh

He finally agreed!!

He said yes!!

Promised!!

Yes!!!

"Let's get started now, shall we?" Probably because he was too excited in his heart, Gao Zhiqi approached Shang Qianshui with blazing eyes.

Shang Qianshui was stunned by his gaze, retreated, and just as he was about to say 'yes', Ah came up and whispered a few words in his ear......

Gao Zhi gave up his eyebrows and condensed, and had a very bad premonition!

Sure enough, I saw Shang Qianshui's expression suddenly urgent, and he blurted out, "Ah, not now!" ”
