Chapter 396: Hands-on

At first, everyone didn't quite believe Su Ying's words, because they couldn't imagine how the mother of a country said that the stone mountain was blown up.

But when he went to the bottom of the stone mountain with Su Ying, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he looked at the scattered boulders falling on the ground.

"What are you still doing, hurry up."

Everyone followed the sound and looked, and saw Su Ying walking forward with a boulder that was heavier than her in both hands.

The people felt that they must be dazzled, it must be, otherwise how could a woman lift such a large stone effortlessly?

Su Ying ignored them, and directly moved the boulder to the transport cart, and after filling the boulder, he let people push it.

However, she found that the boulders were still too slow to be pulled by manpower, and that animals had to be used.

Su Ying called the little official in charge.

"Send someone down the mountain, and borrow all the ox carts and cattle that you can use, and borrow ten copper plates a day, and give you money when you are done, and go quickly."

The little official also saw that it was not a joke for Su Ying to fill the diversion port, so he immediately went to find someone to find cattle after receiving the order.

In the blink of an eye, it began to rain the size of beans in the sky, and gradually the rain became heavier and heavier, forming a rain curtain that made everyone's eyes unable to open.

Su Ying frowned and said to the workers who were still carrying the stones: "If you have physical problems, go to the stone pit in front of you to hide from the rain, and if you can still move, continue to move for me." ”

Hearing Su Ying say this, some workers have found a place to rest, and they can't do it when it rains so heavily.

But after they sat down, they saw Su Ying's figure without any intention of stopping.

The bean-sized rain hit Su Ying's body, staining her robe, but she didn't even blink her eyelids.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that the Venerable Mother of a Nation would be carrying stones with them poor people in this hellish place.

"The queen didn't stop, where did we come from to rest."

"That's it, let's go, move the stones."

Gradually, the workers who went to rest stood up and began to carry them.

Su Ying didn't know the change in the mood of the workers, she just felt that her work efficiency was higher than that of those workers, so she was even more reluctant to stop, and just wanted to plug the diversion as soon as possible to get rid of the trouble.

Because of the rain, it got dark very quickly, and the torches could not be lit, and the surroundings became pitch black.

The little official who came back from pulling the cattle saw that Su Ying was still moving the stones, and stepped forward in the rain and said: "Niangniang, it's dark now, why don't you go down the mountain to rest first, just hand over the big stones here to the small ones to move." ”

Su Ying shook her head, "The heavier and longer the rain falls, the more rapid the water flow will be, and the greater the pressure upstream, even if you don't sleep, you have to plug the mouth in the shortest time." ”

The little official looked at Su Ying's resolute eyebrows, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.

The queens don't rest, what right do they have to complain about being tired. "Everyone listens, and if you can't bear it, go home first, and if you can stand it, stay and continue to do it."

The workers were all touched by Su Ying's actions, and none of them left at this time.

Su Ying's strength is great, so she is mainly responsible for lifting the boulders that the workers can't lift to the car, and the rest of the people use cattle to pull the boulders over and pour them into the water.

The people in the village below the mountain heard that the queen mother had come to carry the stones herself, and they ran to the mountain to see the excitement before dawn.

In their only understanding, how could a noble person like the queen appear in this poor and remote country, let alone carry stones with the workers.

"Niangniang, you've been doing it for a day and a night, why don't you rest for a while, the people in the village know that you brought you breakfast early in the morning here, so go and eat something." The little official looked at Su Ying, and his eyes turned red.

Su Ying saw that a lot of the rocks that had been blown out had been removed, so he stopped and walked towards the pit where he was hiding from the rain.

"See the Queen, see the Queen."

As soon as Su Ying appeared, the people waiting there knelt down and kowtowed to Su Ying.

Su Ying frowned slightly, "Get up, the muddy roads in the mountains are muddy, and you won't come to move stones to go back, so as not to have an accident in the mountains." ”

"It's really the queen's mother, this is really the queen's mother, born like a fairy."

"You are bold, and the queen's phoenix face is also something you can see."

The villagers were talking.

The little official handed the dry food sent by the villagers to Su Ying, "Niangniang, we don't have any good things in this place, you can make do with it first." ”

The villagers brought some corn tortillas, and a bowl of boiled eggs, and no one touched that bowl of eggs, and everyone ate corn tortillas.

Although Su Ying was raised by He Shouyi to be a little awkward, she never disliked the food that could be eaten.

"Eat more, it's not enough for people to send it up, and only when you're full can you have the strength to work."

"Yes."

Su Ying took a bite of the cake, the cornmeal was quite delicate and she didn't pull her throat when she ate it, she ate a basket of corn tortillas, and stood up after eating a few eggs.

"Mother, why don't you take a break?"

Su Ying waved her hand indifferently, "Hurry up." ”

Su Ying pulled the ox cart, and when he poured a cart of rocks into the diversion port, he took a bamboo pole from the side and stretched it down to investigate the situation.

"How deep was the shunt dug at that time?"

"It's about two feet."

Two zhang, according to the current size ratio, is about six to seven meters high, the rocks carried last night are far from enough, and now this degree is at most to fill in the bottom.

"Go back and continue to move, don't stop the silt, the stones will fall down with the silt."

"Yes."

The little officials went to the nearby villages to find a lot of workers, now they can't farm in this season, and it is difficult to go to the city to find something to do, now to do ten copper plates a day, the people in the village did not hesitate to follow.

After there are more people, the efficiency of landfilling is higher, and for three days, Su Ying was here to move rocks with everyone, until the rocks that were blown out by her were almost moved, and this thing can be regarded as seeing results.

Standing on the side of the shunt, you can already faintly see the stones in the water, but because it has been raining heavily intermittently for the past few days, there is more water coming down from the mountain.

"Niangniang, the rocks here have almost been moved, do you want to get some more, how far do you think this hole is more appropriate?"

Su Ying twisted his eyebrows and said: "The impact of the torrent is very great, this stone must not only be filled high, but also the foundation below should be filled more stable, and it should be about the same for two more days. ”

"Eh, yes, but it's too dangerous to blow up the rocky mountain, why don't you let the younger ones go?"
