The whip still fell on Xia Jingyun's body, but Xia Jingyun's body was in pain, but his eyes instantly became excited.

Because, that cry, it was the voice of the bearded overseer he had been looking forward to for a day.

The strong man holding the whip turned his head to look at it and said in surprise: "Huh? Second brother, aren't you on vacation? Why are you here? ”

The bearded overseer rushed over and waved his hand breathlessly, "I'll tell you about this later, I'll take this person first." ”

Saying that, he walked over and helped Xia Jingyun up, "Sir, let's talk in another place?" ”

Brawny:???!!!

Hearing this gentleman, Xia Jingyun knew that this matter was stable, and this first step was completely out.

His heart was filled with joy, but his face was filled with suppressed joy, and he nodded weakly.

"Second brother, who are you?"

The strong man listened to the gentleman, and he was almost stupid.

"I'll talk to you in a moment."

The bearded supervisor stretched out his hand to help Xia Jingyun and slowly walked towards the two-story building not far away.

Seeing his cautious and slow steps, countless people on the entire construction site widened their eyes.

Not only were the laborers dumbfounded, but even the rest of the overseers were dumbfounded, looking at the bizarre posture of the second child, who had always been the most temperamental and ruthless.

The small building is not far away, even if Xia Jingyun is not walking much at the moment, it didn't take much effort to arrive.

The bearded overseer helped him into his room, sat down at the table, and said excitedly: "Sir is really a god! If it weren't for Mr. 's words, I would have been disgraced today, thank you, sir! ”

As he spoke, he stood up and made a gesture, Xia Jingyun hurriedly got up and helped him, but one of them fell to the ground without standing firmly.

The bearded supervisor hurriedly helped him up, looked at his weak appearance, and patted his head, "Look at my brain, sir, wait a minute, I'll go to the room to see if there is anything to eat, and get it for sir." ”

Saying that, he left in a hurry, Xia Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, he was not surprised by the change in the attitude of the bearded supervisor, not to mention these men with little cultural knowledge, that is, the young people who had studied in college around him before, they were not the same between going to work and going to work, they chose to go to incense, and the temple was about to burst.

As long as his words come true, there is no suspense in subduing such a person.

Soon, the bearded overseer turned back, took two large plates, put them on the table and said apologetically: "I'm sorry sir, there is nothing else to eat here, only some leftovers from noon, I put them together, don't you mind." ”

Xia Jingyun smelled the long-lost aroma of meat, looked at the two plates of hearty leftovers in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, I laughed, do you think that for me now, I am still qualified to care about this?" ”

The bearded overseer also smiled, and stopped talking.

Xia Jingyun didn't dare to pinch him now, so he took the initiative to say: "Wait for the sinner to eat a little bit and replenish his physical strength, and then calculate another hexagram for the adult, okay?" ”

"Good, good!" The words in his heart were spoken, and the bearded overseer nodded hurriedly.

Xia Jingyun poured a cup of tea, ate something slowly.

People who have been hungry for a long time should not overeat, so he has to eat slowly and methodically.

Unexpectedly, this style fell in the eyes of the bearded supervisor, and it became a superior posture again.

Reduced to this situation, eating is still so calm and elegant, worthy of being a master who has a glimpse of the heavens!

Forcibly restraining the urge to sweep away the things on the plate in front of him, Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "My lord, can sinners take these things away, you know, I still have my father and brother here." ”

"It's okay, I'll get you two oiled paper bags."

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, sir."

Wrapping the things, Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Do you need me to clean my hands first?" ”

"They're all rough guys, why do you care about this!"

As he spoke, the bearded overseer hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled up his sleeve, and exposed his wrist.

Like a man and woman who eats marrow and knows the taste, the monkey is anxious to put on a posture, waiting for the other half's luck.

Xia Jingyun wiped his hands carefully on the sackcloth, stretched out two fingers on his wrists, closed his eyes and groaned.

With the previous experience, the bearded supervisor was not in a hurry, but just waited with anticipation.

Five minutes later, a flower appeared in front of Xia Jingyun, and a picture appeared.

He slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord, everything has been safe in the past seven days, just remember to gamble and be happy, don't go up, otherwise you may lose a lot of money." ”

The bearded overseer nodded, then smiled a little dissatisfied, "Sir, can you count some more time?" For example, in the next ten years and eight years. ”

"Of course it can be counted." Xia Jingyun smiled, "However, there is a price for spying on the heavens, with my current body, I'm afraid I will have to die here if I can't count it once." ”

The bearded overseer fell into a deep groan, and seemed to have begun to suspect Xia Jingyun's intentions.

"Don't worry, my lords, we are here because we have been convicted and sent here, and it is impossible for adults to risk doing favoritism. However, if the adults can do me a favor, the sinners may not be able to regain their freedom, and then they can do a few more hexagrams for the adults. ”

The bearded overseer was suddenly excited, "Sir, please speak." ”

Xia Jingyun slowly said the ultimate goal, "I peeked into the sky last night, found a side, or can solve the current crisis, if the adult can take me to see the steward and make a contribution, this matter can really turn around, and then the adult can also make a contribution, isn't it beautiful?" ”

If other laborers said this, the tyrannical bearded overseer might be whipped to death directly, but Xia Jingyun had a "miracle" in front of him, and the bearded overseer only groaned for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll take you to meet the adult!" ”

Xia Jingyun was overjoyed, and said, "There is one more thing that adults have to consider." ”

"You say."

"As Fang just said, there is a price to spy on the heavens, if it weren't for the fact that I knew my fate soon, I wouldn't want to do that hexagram again. If the news of the adult's divination will spread out, there will be a lot of dignitaries in the future, and they can't refuse it, and they still want to tell the fortune for the adult, whether this body can bear it is a matter of two words. ”

The bearded overseer immediately understood, "Don't worry, God knows about this, you know me!" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, got up and walked out with the bearded overseer.

The two of them climbed to the second floor of the small building, came to the door of the labor farm manager, looked at the guards at the door, and humbly accompanied the smiling face, "Guard Liu, the little one has something to ask to see the adult." ”

Escort Liu was still arrogant, crossed his arms, glanced at him expressionlessly, left a sentence and waited to turn around and enter the house, and soon came out and raised his chin, "Go in." ”

"Thank you, Escort Liu."

Looking at this scene, Xia Jingyun also better understood why these supervisors didn't care about the suggestions of those workers before.

"Your Excellency."

"What?"

Sitting in front of the table was a slightly chubby middle-aged man in a brocade robe, who heard the movement, did not raise his head, and spoke lightly.

"My lord, some laborers have come to offer advice, saying that there is a way for us to speed up the transportation of soil, complete it on schedule, and complete the above tasks."

The slightly chubby steward slowly raised his head, squinted at the bearded supervisor, and then moved his gaze to Xia Jingyun behind him, his cold gaze matched with two mustaches, exuding a dangerous aura.

"If it works, I'll have a reward, but if it doesn't, you both have to die."

The bearded overseer trembled, his throat rolled, and he immediately remembered Xia Jingyun's godly prophecy, and he didn't ask for mercy and repented.

The steward raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Xia Jingyun, "What can you do?" Go ahead? ”

Xia Jingyun said: "There is a kind of pulley that can save manpower and transport many earthworks at one time, which is just suitable for us to transport soil from low to high." If used, I initially expect to at least double the speed it is today. ”

Saying that, Xia Jingyun briefly explained the method of transporting soil by pulley.

The steward seemed to be reliable and became interested, "What do you need, do you have a strategy?" ”

Xia Jingyun opened his mouth and said, "Do you have a pen and paper?" I'll write it down for you. ”

The steward immediately called someone to bring a pen and paper and asked Xia Jingyun to sit down.

About half an hour later, Xia Jingyun handed a few drawings with various objects and relevant descriptions to the steward, "You only need to prepare things, and you can see the effect in two hours at most." ”

The steward took a closer look, bowed slightly, and asked a few more questions, "Go down and wait for the letter." Excuse yourself from your labor today. ”

Xia Jingyun and the bearded supervisor retreated together, he quietly rubbed his sore wrist, thanks to the more than ten years of hard practice of the brush that started from the Children's Palace, otherwise it would be funny to fall at the last level.

Walking out, he bowed to the bearded overseer, "Thank you, sir, for taking this risk with me." ”

The bearded overseer was still a little worried, "Sir, your method is not effective?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled confidently, "Taught by the immortals, where the heavenly machine is, how can it not work." ”

In the labor field, the strong man who had proposed cooperation to Xia Yunfei looked at Xia Jingyun and the bearded overseer walking back with all their beards and tails, and couldn't help but regret a little, this kid didn't have some adventures, he knew why he had more words today!

What surprised him even more was still to come, I saw that the bearded supervisor led Xia Jingyun to find the supervisor who was on duty for him today, and after saying a few words, Xia Jingyun was helped to rest under the shade of a tree!

Why!

The man suddenly felt that the soil in his hand was heavier.

Syllable!

"Rub what! Hurry up! ”

The whip danced again, and everyone didn't care about envy, so they hurriedly got busy again.

finally caught the sunset gong, and everyone hurriedly rushed to the shack, and Xia Jingyun had already received a nest head and a bowl of thick porridge in advance.

Seeing his father and brother coming, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Gao Yang, are you alright?"

Uncle and father both asked with concern, Xia Jingyun smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine." ”

He took out the oil-paper bag from his bosom and said loudly, "This is a reward from the overseer, eat it." ”

Uncle and father, as well as Xia Yunfei's eyes were straight when he ascended, and Xia Yun looked around vigilantly when he ascended.

Xia Jingyun smiled and said loudly: "Eat with confidence, the overseer is next to him, who dares to rob the things he rewards, and don't die for a meal?" ”

Saying this, he was also secretly vigilant about the wind and grass around him.

Fortunately, although everyone around them was extremely greedy, it was indeed the shack where the overseer ate not far away, and there was Xia Yunfei on the other side, who was not easy to mess with at first glance, and no one dared to try it rashly when he couldn't succeed in one blow.

I could only sniff my nose as hard as I could, hoping to smell some fragrance, and close my eyes and imagine that what I was chewing in my mouth was not a nest.

Xia Jingyun can't help it, firstly, this little thing is not enough for his own family to eat, and secondly, this is given to him by the overseer, what qualifications does he have to send this kind of thing to everyone, what if it causes a riot?

So you can only manage your own family.

What's more, this little thing, the three members of the Xia family are just enough for one meal.

After many days, everyone in the Xia family finally ate a full meat meal, and it seemed that they really saw the hope of survival.

Xia Mingxiong looked at Xia Jingyun, "Gao Yang, what you said yesterday, is it true?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded and said with a smile: "Well, we can all survive, and if we are lucky, it is not impossible to get out of trouble." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two fathers who decided to sacrifice themselves yesterday to let their descendants live alone ignited their will to survive again.

Xia Yunfei smacked the grease on his hands and smiled silently.

In that case, he would not have to work so hard and only eat one nest every day.

I'm really hungry!

......

Not far from the labor camp is the county seat of Jiang'an, and the manager of the labor camp rode into the city gate on horseback and came to the county government in the city.

Dismounted at the gate of the county government and stood still, he reached out and pressed the paper in his arms, took a deep breath, and walked in.
