Li Hao didn't know how long he had been watching, but he felt that his eyelids began to fight. He simply lay down on the bed and sighed: "Alas, I knew that the waterwheel was so difficult, so I wouldn't have been able to do it." ”

After a night's work, it was just a rough look. In addition, there are no ready-made materials, and he has to cut down trees to make them himself, and he has to buy tools, so Li Hao doesn't feel that his head is big for a while. But the words have been spoken, and they must be done.

After looking at it for a while, Li Hao really couldn't do it anymore, so he fell asleep.

The time came to the next day, Li Hao got up early, and then came to Sima Hui's door to wait.

As soon as Sima Hui went out, Li Hao hurriedly pulled Sima Hui and said, "Senior brother, is there a town near here?" I want to buy some tools. ”

"Huh? What tools do you buy? What are you doing here? Sima Hui asked puzzled.

Li Hao had no choice but to explain to Sima Hui that he promised to make a waterwheel for his mother yesterday, and he would not have to work hard to water it in the future.

Hearing this, Sima Hui took advantage of the situation to put his hand on Li Hao's shoulder, and then said with a flattering smile: "Senior brother, take me one?" ”

Li Hao was secretly happy in his heart, but he was afraid that you would not take the bait. was waiting for Sima Hui's words, and he also had other thoughts about Sima Hui's wallet.

Sima Hui was originally very interested in novelties, and it can be said that he was in the middle of it.

After breakfast, under the urging of Sima Hui, the two quickly set off for the town, from the mountain to the town, it took most of the day's work, buying tools, and when they returned, the sun was already about to set.

And along the way, Sima Hui had a great grudge against Li Hao, and also made Li Hao understand that Sima Hui was a miser.

"Senior brother, you are really enough! If you don't have money, you just say it. What do you mean, you're new to the city, you're buying something, I'm definitely embarrassed to let you give money? Yes? ”

Sima Hui was about to explode, Li Hao asked him to help you give money, just give money, you have to find a lot of reasons, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth for those reasons.

Along the way, Li Hao was about to be cocooned by Sima Hui's words.

Looking at Sima Hui's fragmented expression, Li Hao had no choice but to smile and replied, "Senior brother, just let me borrow your line?" In the future, I'll pay you back with interest, okay? When I make a waterwheel, I will cook for you myself, and I will make amends. ”

When he heard "borrowing" and "repaying" and "even the principal with interest", Sima Hui's eyes straightened, and he said as if he had changed into a different person: "Cough, what, don't talk about this, senior brother." But brother, settle the account, and I will count your interests as a success. And the matter of cooking, you said it, I didn't force you. ”

Looking at Sima Hui's decent and pretentious appearance, Li Hao couldn't help but smile and nodded yes.

The two of them chatted like this, and walked on the way back.

Suddenly, from behind the trees on both sides, seven or eight big men came out. The leader stood in the middle of the road and said, "Stop! Whatever is valuable, hand it over! ”

Li Hao has never seen this battle, and he can't help but beat a little drum in his heart. But the same Sima Hui looked indifferent.

Sima Hui opened his mouth and said: "Several, the two of us are poor scholars, it's not appropriate to rob us, right?" “

"Not suitable? You say it's not suitable, it's not suitable? If you want to stay alive, if you want to keep your money! As he spoke, the gang was about to do it.

In this era when the people are struggling to make a living, the government is corrupt, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and all kinds of taxes are levied. In addition, almost all the men were conscripted from the war, down to the teens, up to the forty or fifty, fifty or sixty years old. Women with children and old people left no labor to cultivate the fields, and the land was naturally deserted, and it was impossible to pay taxes. And the man either went to the army in order to fill his stomach, or went up to the mountains to become a bandit. Again and again, robbery has become the only way for these people, and killing people and dead people is just a common thing.

"Really? But what if I say we don't have any money? ”

When Li Hao found out that the other party said that he was going to die, Sima Hui didn't react, but when the other party said that he wanted money, the breath on Sima Hui's body suddenly became cold.

"Then, in the eyes of Scrooge, money is more important than life!" ”

Sima Hui walked forward with a smile on his face and asked, "What did you just say you wanted?" ”

Li Hao looked at Sima Hui's state obviously wrong, and stepped back very interestingly, looking at several big men with a pitiful face.

"Boy, look for death!" As he spoke, a big man raised his fist and was about to hammer at Sima Hui.

Just listen to the sound of "bang bang bang".

What flew out was three big men. The remaining big men looked at it and were directly stunned, nearly half of the people on their side were lost in an instant, and the other party was still a weak-looking scholar, and he didn't know when the knife in his hand fell.

Sima Hui turned his head and said with a smile: "Can we go?" ”

The rest of the people nodded stunnedly, and Sima Hui pulled the stunned Li Hao forward.

Li Hao was still immersed in Sima Hui's three punches just now.

After walking for a distance, Sima Hui's hand suddenly put on Li Hao's shoulder, and he panted in his ear: "Hurry... Come on! ”

Li Hao looked at Sima Hui and found that he seemed to be out of strength, and the group behind him hadn't reacted yet. Li Hao knew that he had to pretend to be casual at this time, otherwise he would be exposed......

I don't know how long it took to go, Sima Hui said that he could stop, and Li Hao immediately lay down on the ground and said, "Senior brother, was that just now?" ”

"Strange magic." Sima Hui spoke softly.

I was horrified by the power of this strange magic, and I just wanted to open my mouth to continue asking others, but was interrupted by Sima Hui.

Sima Hui propped himself up and said, "My body is not good, I have to cultivate for several days if I use this once." Come and help me, hurry up. ”

Li Hao asked curiously, "Then you're not good?" ”

"What nonsense? I'm already frail, and I'm not interested in cultivation, so I'm taking a different path than you, and Qi doesn't matter to me. Sima Hui replied weakly.

When he arrived in front of a bamboo forest, Sima Hui said to Li Hao: "Actually, even if you don't let me accompany you today, I will accompany you in the end." Otherwise, when you come back, when will you go? ”

"Huh? Is it because of these bandits? Li Hao asked suspiciously.

Sima Hui explained: "In fact, the woods and bamboo forests around my brother's courtyard are arranged according to the location of the gossip, which contains many formations, but they are all psychedelic formations. When the time comes, you will get out as you go. Otherwise, do you think this mountain is so low that no one will bother it? ”

After a pause, Sima Hui continued: "My brother and I were very surprised when we saw you, you have neither cultivated nor understood formations, and you have lived in the pavilion for a few days in a row, so we are curious about how you got in?" ”

Li Hao smiled wryly, helplessly spread his hands, saying that he was lucky, and he had one thought at that time: to go up the mountain.

Then he followed the position that Sima Hui had walked through, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, tossing for a while, and when he looked up again, he had already seen the small courtyard.

When he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, Sima Hui patted Li Hao on the shoulder, but told him not to tell Pang Degong about tonight. Li Hao couldn't understand what he couldn't say, but he still nodded.

Back in the room, Li Hao took out the informant, "Xiao Mo, does this world really exist?" ”

“……”

Li Hao smiled self-deprecatingly, and he didn't know what happened to him suddenly. Thinking that he had crossed over and was hungry, it took ten days to see people. A good little village was killed and burned by anyone. Even today, when you go down the mountain, you can meet bandits.

Suddenly, Li Hao felt that he really needed enough power and strength to survive here.

Perhaps Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Rebellion was not accidental, but inevitable.

Thinking about it, just like that, Li Hao fell asleep in a daze......

After resting for the night, Li Hao got up early.

Thinking that Sima Hui had to rest well in the past few days, Li Hao had to go to work as a waterwheel alone.

It's cutting down trees again, and it's cutting bamboo. During this period, Sima Hui originally came to help him, but was blocked back by Li Hao with good cultivation. Pang Degong also said to take a look, but it turned out that Li Hao was cutting trees and bamboos again, and said directly: "People are old and can't stand the toss." And he ran.

After more than ten days, Li Hao finally finished the waterwheel by himself.

On this day, it was approaching evening.

Li Hao took Pang Degong and others to the river.

Seeing the wheels driven by the current, there is a funnel on the shore near the waterwheel, and the ground is connected with bamboo, and it is strung together in a long way.

Sima Hui asked Li Hao in surprise: "Senior brother, this is the waterwheel?" Is this really what you do? What are these bamboos for? ”

Then they went to the position of the funnel and pulled out the wooden plug inside, and the few people only heard a sound of water coming from the bamboo.

Li Hao took a few people to the edge of the field, and saw a ravine on one side of the field, on which was the bamboo that was connected from the river.

The water flowed out of the bamboo, and several people shouted incredible.

Li Hao just smiled, and then explained to a few people.

"You're a god! With a waterwheel, you don't have to carry water at all! Sima Hui's eyebrows fluttered, and he made it repeatedly.

Several people praised Li Hao, and Li Hao silently said to Ma Jun in his heart: "I'm sorry." ”

And Li Hao said modestly on the surface: "How can it be as powerful as you say." ”

At this time, Sima Hui opened his mouth and said, "Senior brother, you can say that you want to cook me a delicious meal, you won't forget it, right?" ”

"And this?"
