The sky is blue and white clouds are long, and the river is dry. The wind is blowing and the rain is gathering. Miaomiao is at the source.
"One pond lost one-third of its water. It was only three days, and six ponds were only 18 days old. I have to think of a way."
Just after getting up in the morning, Wang Juan took Zhang Xiaobao to "inspect" the six ponds on Zhuangzi. Spring ploughing was the most water-consuming. Seeing that one-third of the water in a pond was scooped away, Wang Juan would A little anxious.
Zhang Xiaobao watched from the side. The people of Gejiazhuangzi kept picking up the water. He also knew that the people of Gejiazhuangzi were afraid of drought, and the water in the fields was obviously given to them. They even dug in front of their house. After finishing the pit, put a board on it, and then take water from the pond of King Zhang's family and pour it in.
"Speaking, you just watch them take the water away. When the water gets into the pit, it can penetrate half of it every day, and the surrounding area is dry."
Wang Juan looked at Gejiazhuangzi's farmers back and fetched water like robbing. He was a little unhappy. Just put the water for his own home in the tank. It was a waste of it.
"Let's get it away, is it possible to stop them? In this way, starting from tomorrow, let a few from Gezhuang come over. We will take care of the food and arrange them by the well. As long as someone comes to fetch water, let them help, the pond. Seal the surroundings, and if you want water, let Steward Ge come over and supply it all at once."
At first, Zhang Xiaobao felt that it’s okay for these people to get some water. Didn’t it just dig a pit. When the water around the pit was saturated, the pit was full, but he suddenly reacted. When the pit was full, these people were very Maybe another pit will be dug, and the water will be really wasted.
"I agree that they can't let them throw away the water at will. Tell them and don't understand it. It would be fine if it was the farmer on our Zhuangzi, and listen to everything."
Wang Juan is also helpless about this. This is human nature. If you really want to complain, you can only complain about the master of Ge Zhuang.
Hu Zi, who was called to follow, explained it again. Hu Zi immediately made arrangements. He had already seen these people not pleasing to his eyes. He wanted to do so today, but due to the orders of the little son and the little lady, he had to wait until tomorrow. He wanted to understand that the people of the Ge family Zhuangzi shame the master, and he can't shame the little boy. The banker must have the consciousness of the banker, and the servant must also have the rules of the servant.
After a while, Huzi made arrangements to return home and said what he wanted.
"Well, it’s right to think so. The dealer and you are doing things outside, it’s no different from the master’s doing things. Do things with a sense of reason. Don’t be afraid to cause trouble. Your family will help you, even if you make a mistake, your own master will punish you, and it is not your turn to take care of it."
Wang Juan was satisfied with Huzi's actions and the thoughts in her heart. She said that she was used to being strong. She used to do things like this below. If she did something wrong, or damaged some local interests, that wouldn’t be necessary. The local people will take care of them, and whether they will be punished when they go back, they are self-contained.
She thought so, but Hu Zi didn't expect that the people in the master's house were too tyrannical. After thinking about it, she asked: "Little son, little lady, this is causing trouble outside. If it is the government that offends, then in spite of?"
"No matter who you offend, as long as you do things for the master, in the process, because you think it’s good for the master, you make a mistake, and find a way to escape back. Even if the government comes, there will be the master’s support. , Even if you hurt someone for the master’s family, the master’s family may still reward you."
In this regard, Wang Juan never compromised and said categorically.
This time Huzi didn't say anything, but he was happy in his heart. He never doubted the words of the little son and the little lady. If he didn't follow him, he really wanted to shout to express his feelings. This is the real master. Will not abandon the people below when in trouble.
Zhang Xiaobao remained silent. He knew what Wang Juan meant and would not do anything about the demolition. He waited for Huzi's mood to stabilize before saying:
"Huzi, make me something for the son. This thing is two inches long, half the thickness of the chopsticks, flat, and has three ribs on it."
While talking, Zhang Xiaobao picked up a small wooden stick and drew the shape for the tiger.
Huzi looked at it carefully and nodded: "Little son, don't worry, Huzi will find someone to do things well."
"En, then you can do it now, here I don't need to take care of Juanjuan." Zhang Xiaobao said, pulling Wang Juan and walked away.
"What did you ask him to do? How do I look like a murder weapon?" Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao after a long journey.
"It's a murder weapon. We both use it. We usually put it in the sleeves of our clothes and make a sleeve. In case of danger, such as someone hijacking us, we can't just wait for others to rescue us. That thing has strong penetrating power. , If someone holds us in our arms and threatens others, we can let that person know that not everyone can hijack."
Zhang Xiaobao is now preparing for the dangers that may arise in the future.
"Okay, I see. When things are made, we two will practice assassination. You are really not so cruel. You want to make a three-sided one. No one can save it by aligning it with the neck."
Wang Juan has never fully understood Zhang Xiaobao. Thinking of the two-inch-long three-sided flat needle sticking into a person's neck, he has to admit that Zhang Xiaobao can't get rid of his tyrannical character.
"Don't think that I am cruel. People who can really use children as hostages will never feel better. Who makes you unable to make a gun?"
"Do you think guns are so easy to make? This is the Tang Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty where the handicraft industry is booming. I can get all kinds of gunpowder and the appearance of the gun can be made. Do you dare to use it?" The thumb made a gun shape and pressed against Zhang Xiaobao's nose and said.
Zhang Xiaobao's two black eyes moved closer to the center, and a little bit lower, his lips moved slightly, "Don't dare, I'm afraid of exploding, didn't you say that Zhou Xihu's uncle came over today, why hasn't it arrived yet? Don't pinch my nose."
Wang Juanyi still did not fully withdraw his hand. "I was pinched stupid. People said that today I came to Sanshui County, not to us. There is still someone in the court. How can we make arrangements first? You say the best medium for sound transmission. What is it?"
"The higher the density, the faster the spread in theory, the smaller the divergence, and the more stable the spread. What are you going to do?" Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and returned the black eyes to their place.
"Oh, do you know how to make a phone call? I want to prepare alarm equipment for the dealers on the Zhuangzi. I want them to send the news as soon as there is a danger, and let people help them."
Wang Juan blinked his big eyes and said.
"I am not one of those scientists. You want to deceive people. I have countless ways. In practical applications, people from the Academy of Sciences are tens of thousands of times stronger than me. I am not an expert or a professor."
"It's fine if you say you can't. I never believe in experts or professors. I know a few academicians of the Academy of Sciences. All of them are so stupid. I don't know how to be famous. I just think about research. Forget it. Use the oldest method."
Wang Juan was a little disappointed in Zhang Xiaobao's answer, sighed, and made up his mind.
In the afternoon, Wang Juan made arrangements. Everyone’s houses were pulled out of two ropes, woven with silk, and connected diagonally upwards to a wooden table. These tables were again made of silk. The woven rope is connected to some tables, and these talents have been connected to the main house.
When pulling the ropes of those dealers, one of them will make the opposite bells ring on the table, and the other has a bamboo tube, which is also connected to the table.
"Okay, it's done. This is the most primitive remote communication method. Tomorrow, we will find two doctors, and Zhuangzi will also form a firefighting team, and go wherever there is something."
In the evening, Wang Juan stopped and clapped his hands and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao already knew what Wang Juan was going to do. She wanted to get an alarm system. The method was too primitive. She wanted to find something wrong. Seeing Wang Juan’s excitement, she couldn't bear it, so she nodded: " Good, not bad."
"Insincere, I know what you are thinking. Isn't it just that when the wind blows and the rope moves, can the bell connected there ring? Unless it is very strong wind, this kind of thing will not happen, the bell It takes some effort to pull it back into the card slot.
If it is really a bell that the wind can blow into the card slot, then we should prepare even more. Maybe some people’s houses have been blown down. The farmers are so good and dare to eat tofu. Of course we have to make them for them. Some things are up. "
Wang Juan knew what Zhang Xiaobao was thinking as soon as he looked at Zhang Xiaobao's expression.
"Okay, I agree, but your accuracy may not be that high." Zhang Xiaobao spent five taels of silver on this matter and didn't care anymore.
"Then hurry up and find a doctor. Now we have a veterinarian and a doctor. Why do we have to be on duty at night? Go and go back to sleep. Don't always crowd me at night." Wang Juan said pretendingly and generously. , Turned around and left.
Zhang Xiaobao was taken aback for a moment, and then went back, "Will you squeeze me at night, okay? Holding and squeezing, I'm almost falling to the ground, let's sleep on the carpet when the sky is getting warmer."
"Whoever hugs you, I think of you as a pillow, fleshy and cool, I grew up, I always have to hold something to sleep, let you take advantage of it and complain, I used to be Hug the doll." Wang Juan didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.
Zhang Xiaobao sighed. He knew there was no truth in this aspect, so he could only stand up and protest a little.
"Then, Comrade Wang Juan, I hope you can take care of your baby, don't always pull your neck, I have lost my pillow several times."
"I see, I will give psychological hints when I go to sleep at night. I am not holding a rag doll, but a living body, a little baby." Wang Juan said without being able to walk in front of him.
Zhang Xiaobao scratched his head, "Am I a baby? You seem to be younger than me."
"The baby is a dog from my family, so I'm obedient."
…
"Is there anyone? My mother fell from the kang and was lying on the ground unable to move. Help me."
Neither Zhang Xiaobao nor Wang Juan thought that something happened on the first night when this alarm system appeared. The owner of Zhang Xiaoshu's house asked for help through this thing.
The one on the table was also the villager. First, he heard the sound of the bell, saw the bell enter the card slot, picked up the bamboo tube with the wire next to it, and heard Zhang Xiaoshu's cry.
Zhang Xiaoshu's shout was loud, not only the people on the stage heard it, but the neighbors on both sides also heard it. They both came to check.
The people on the stage did not dare to neglect, and passed the news to the master's house. Without saying a word, the people at the master's house called the doctor who had been invited from the Zhuangzi to tell him that someone had fallen. Things, this person drove the car to the doctor and hurried to Zhang Xiaoshu's house.
In less than a quarter of an hour, according to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's time, it was nine and a half minutes, and the healer appeared at Zhang Xiaoshu's home. Zhang Xiaoshu and his neighbors thought they would have to wait a while, but they didn't expect to come over so soon.
The doctor called the pulse, checked the old lady’s injury, and dealt with it, and said to Zhang Xiaoshu: “It’s okay, the leg fell off the ring. If it’s hot, don’t live on the Kang, I’ll take the bones. Yes, go back and prescribe a second medicine. You can drink it for half a month. You can get the medicine with me, or you can find someone to get it. It’s three cents."
"Sanwen?" Zhang Xiaoshu was stunned.
"If you don't have money, it's okay to change things with things. Find a board for me and I'll tie it up." The healer said with restraint.
Don't need Zhang Xiaoshu to be busy, the neighbor who came here found the board.
"Why is this money?" Zhang Xiaoshu was still worried about his mother's condition.
The neighbor next to him was so awake and said to Zhang Xiaoshu: "Little tree, you forgot, the main part of the house came out, so why don't you look at it a little, let auntie fall, and you can help you when you go down the kang."
"I'm asleep, who knows my mother will wake up at night? How many days will I live on the ground tomorrow? Yes, the master has already said that if you are sick, the master will spend the most money on this master's family. My mother and I have lived for eight lifetimes. The blessing of repairing."
Zhang Xiaoshu understands that he will raise for half a month and take medicine every day. Don't even think about the three cents. The rest of the money is taken by the owner. This is the banker. If you change into the inner courtyard, you don't need to take a penny.
Xiaoshu's mother also woke up at this time, just hearing these words, stretched out her hand to hold her son's leg: "Little tree, I will do more for the master's house in the future. My mother has lived for so many years, and it was the first time I saw such a master. Home, mother knows the time when she gets up, it’s less than a quarter of an hour, don’t forget the kindness of the master’s house."
Zhang Xiaoshu saw his mother wake up and nodded when he heard the words. Then he remembered. He tried to pull the two ropes. The healer came so fast. No one would believe the master’s method. , I am afraid that no one can compare, and the palace may not be able to catch up.
…
The night is hurried, and the morning sun is thick.
The early risers were getting ready to work. Hearing what happened yesterday, Zhang Xiaoshu’s neighbor kept telling others what he saw, which surprised and moved the farmers.
Zhang Xiaoshu got up early in the morning, comforted his mother, and knelt outside the main house.
