Chapter Twenty-Nine: How to Break the Stone Wall

A village elder sighed, "If only this water could flow down the mountain, then the fields could be watered, and the harvest would be in the fields." ”

Who doesn't want to have a harvest in the field, this is tantamount to a fool's dream, just this small stream, before the mountain will go down, unless the water flow is big enough.

But this spring water only flowed out of the cracks in the stone wall, and it took a while to fill a bucket, and to water the fields, which was really too much.

At this time, a young man strode forward, put his ear to the stone wall, and then shouted excitedly: "Uncle village chief, the sound of water in the stone wall is very loud, you all come and listen, if this stone wall is chiseled, the water flow must be very strong." ”

Everyone stepped forward and put their ears on the stone wall, and sure enough, the sound of water in the stone wall was faintly rushing.

However, if you don't put your ears against the stone wall, you can't hear the sound at all, which shows that the stone wall is extremely thick.

Such a thick and hard stone wall is impossible to break open by hand, even for a quarryman, and if it is smashed with a hammer little by little, it will have to be smashed for as long as it takes.

I heard that there is such a thing as gunpowder, but this is controlled by the imperial court, where do ordinary people like them get gunpowder.

If the discovery of the water source is reported to the imperial court, the gunpowder will not arrive, and the water source will not be saved.

This made everyone uncomfortable, and it was clear that the bread was right in front of them, but they couldn't eat it.

The crowd sighed.

The village chief instructed everyone to keep their mouths shut, not to tell about the discovery of the water source first, and to talk about it after thinking about what to do.

and asked everyone to go back and think about how to chisel the stone wall, and a group of people went down the mountain with a heavy heart.

After the old man came home, he began to sigh for a long time, and he couldn't sit still, he wanted to grow more heads, and his hair was about to go bald.

Mrs. Wang couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you, the needle stuck in your ass." ”

Old Man Yue didn't care about the vulgarity of his wife, anyway, his family knew about the water source, so he didn't need to keep it a secret, so he simply told it.

Mrs. Wang didn't know how to chisel the stone wall, so she only comforted the old man Yue: "We are all Zhuanghu people, how big the ability to hold how big the bowl is, and it is already blessed by God to be able to find the water source, don't be content and think too much, you don't have to worry about yourself." ”

Old Man Yue was not comforted that men and women think differently after all.

Keep sighing.

I was annoyed by Mrs. Wang, "You old man is finished, right, see that you are full, go to the yard to chop wood." ”

Old man Yue was scolded by his wife, and his heart finally became more comfortable, too, he was an ordinary farmer, if he could come up with a way, he would not be in the village for a long time, and he went to chop wood with an axe.

The old lady still felt sorry for her old man, and she couldn't see the old man like that, so she pondered for a while, this water source was discovered by her daughter, and her daughter was very different from before, so she might be able to know.

Yue Mingzhu was reading a book in her house at this time, reading her third brother's book, the book has its own golden house, in the absence of any other way, only by reading more books, can we learn more about this world, so as to survive better.

When Mrs. Wang entered the door, she saw the scene of her daughter reading, she didn't know how to describe it, she only felt that her daughter seemed to be glowing, and it seemed to be a painting, and she couldn't bear to disturb it.

Yue Mingzhu heard the movement and asked Mrs. Wang what was the matter.

The old lady came back to her senses, "Hey, it's not your father yet, I'm just worrying about it, I let him give me a headache, you can think of a way for him." ”

The old lady told her daughter in detail.

After hearing this, Yue Mingzhu first smiled.

My own mother is really a knife mouth tofu heart, and she says that she annoys the old man, but she doesn't feel sorry for him.

She thought about it, there was gunpowder in this era, but the power was not too strong, mainly used for fireworks, and the imperial court was extremely strict.

She knew the ratio of gunpowder, and she also knew how to make more powerful gunpowder, but she was not guilty.

Once the gunpowder explodes, the movement is very great, and it is impossible to cover it, and if it causes trouble to the family because of the explosion of the stone wall, it is not cost-effective.

You'll have to find another way.

If you can't use chemical methods, what about physical methods? There is, thermal expansion and cold contraction.

Yue Mingzhu immediately ran to the yard and told her father about her own method, her father was skeptical at first, after all, he had never heard of this method before.

This is easy to do, Yue Mingzhu immediately asked a few nephews to carry stones and firewood, and try it on the spot.

The nephew has more things to do, and the work will be ready to continue after a while.

Make a fire and burn stones.

A few nephews were confused, what kind of thing is this, the stone can't be eaten or drunk.

After burning for about half an hour, Moon Mingzhu asked the eldest brother to pour cold water on the stone.

A large basin of cold water was poured down, and the stone suddenly rattled, and there was a faint sound of cracking, and when it was struck with a hammer, it fell apart.

All:.......

Old man Yue thought, the girl is really a god, is this the daughter he can give birth to?

I didn't have time to think about it, the old man seemed to be a child with a new toy, and he was in a hurry to go out to find a friend to show off.

After telling the village chief the solution, the village chief was also skeptical.

It doesn't matter, this is easy to do, the old man happily repeated it again at the village chief's house, and now the village chief is served.

"Brother Dashan, you can, you can still come up with this kind of method, and you will be credited with a lot of credit."

The village chief and the old man of the moon hooked shoulders and chatted passionately.

"Brother, you think too highly of me, just your brother and me, you still don't know all these years, and you can't think of this way if you want to break your head." Old Man Yue is not the kind of person who loves vanity and is not greedy for merit.

The village chief was pondering, where did this method come from, and the old man Yue said triumphantly: "It was my daughter who came up with it, it's amazing, it's really worthy of my daughter in Yuedashan, and this brain is eighty percent with my old woman." ”

The village chief felt that his hand was a little itchy, and he wanted to shine on the back of his head.

The village chief was shocked, Mingzhu's girl, chubby, and this ability? Could it be that this is a real person who does not show his face?

This month Dashan is really a good fate, even if the children and grandchildren have a future, even the daughter is a smart one.

His ancestral grave is really smoking, and I have to ask him another day how he can give birth to such a good child.

It's also strange to say, Mingzhu, a country girl, how could she come up with such an unbelievable way, people like them who have lived for most of their lives, they have never heard of it, the village chief thought about it and asked.

The old man Yue was even more proud, "That girl usually doesn't look like a girl, other people's girls are embroidering, cooking, digging wild vegetables, she is good, she usually likes to sit in the house and read, a few hours have passed as soon as she sits, she works harder than her third brother, you say, the girl's family does not take the top prize, and if it goes on like this, her third brother is not as knowledgeable as her." ”
