Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

On the country trails, the power of autumn is still there, scorching the earth like a tiger. Even in the afternoon, the road surface is still hot and unbearable.

Xiao Li'er seemed a little drowsy, while Gou Gen's eyes wandered between the old Taoist and Jia Da, occasionally glancing at the little boy's aggrieved face. His lips unconsciously tightened - obviously, he realized that this Taoist and the big man were birds of a feather.

He realized belatedly that he had just done something stupid.

From the fact that the two of them were allowed to get on the bus without saying a word, it can be seen that they acted in tacit agreement. His hands, which were holding the board of the bus, turned pale, and his heart was beating like a drum. He was afraid, but also a little excited. If he could catch the thief, it would be a great achievement! He hadn't seen a human trafficker for several years.

He has now determined that the old Taoist is a human trafficker, and the little boy with the hopeless eyes and depressed face is being taken away by the old Taoist to be sold.

The only thing I'm worried about is Xiao Li'er and Yudan.

Although he was a little nervous, he was not really afraid. There were people from the garrison in every village within a hundred miles of Black Stone Guard. As long as he shouted, neither of the two men would be able to escape.

Back then, he was General Gou and a bully in the village. How could he be scared by a mere human trafficker?

He secretly encouraged himself in his heart, thinking that as smart as I am, I can not only ride the traffickers' car to Taozhuang, but also make a contribution, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Xian had a very leisurely time these days. Nothing important happened in Weili, and her Sixth Uncle seemed to be very busy, but she had no interest in going over to ask how Liu Ying's eyes were recovering.

She read the "Lu Family Secret Records" carefully for a long time. She recognized every word, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Although the book is full of essential skills, it prefers to be obscure, with many code words and secret phrases.

She couldn't help but complain, could you draw more pictures to make it more convenient for you and me.

He rubbed his head and thought that it would be better to leave this thing to the master craftsmen.

Now it’s time to get down to business. She took out a drawing from her arms and spread it out on the table.

Several master craftsmen came over. They were all used to it. Whenever the lady had an innovation, she would draw the blueprint herself. Although there were occasional deviations in the details, the things that came out were always very useful.

"Barrel cart?" Liu Ying recognized it at the first sight. The shape was different from what was recorded in "Lu's Secret Records"!

She was worried, thinking that the lady relied on the "Lu Family Secret Records" and that the lady was able to draw this picture with just a few glances. For a moment, the craftsmanship that she once took pride in seemed to be overshadowed.

Originally, she was feeling proud that her skills could be used by the lady, but Liu fell silent.

Other craftsmen were also puzzled: "What is the profound meaning of this water-driven method?" They were naturally familiar with keel waterwheels. Whether it was a tipping cart or a keel waterwheel, it had long been widely used in farmland irrigation, with various driving methods, including hand-cranked, foot-operated, animal-powered and even wind-powered.

However, although the wheel designed by the lady uses water power to drive the rotating shaft, its subsequent purpose is unpredictable!

Xie Xian smiled and said, "I want to make a joint at the back of this shaft so that I can connect anything I want. I can use it to scoop rice, grind, or crush rocks!"

As winter approaches, her honeycomb coal production still cannot be increased. There is no way. There are too few people. All the strong laborers in the surrounding villages are gone. She can't expect a group of women and children to smash the coal stones into coal powder!

Among all the processes of making honeycomb coal, only the stone crushing process is the most labor-intensive, so she had an idea and wanted to use water power to solve the problem.

When everyone heard this, a bright light flashed in their eyes. They imagined that if it was made into a large-scale device, it could be used flexibly according to needs.

Xie Xian continued, "The parts of this water wheel that are prone to wear are all made of iron, and we also have to consider the waterproofing of the core iron parts, so we still have to think of a solution."

Now she only has high-hardness iron, and steel is far from her. Her strength is limited, and if she hopes to keep some things secret, it is better not to take them out at all.

The iron in her hand, which was both tough and hard, was just right for building the mechanical core she envisioned. Even if it was discovered, it would be just a lump of iron.

This batch of iron ingots can be used to make shovels or mechanical parts. She firmly believes that she is right. No one should use a shovel as a weapon!

Jia Da looked at the shovel in his hand and stroked the blade with his fingers. Only this magical weapon could give him a sense of security.

As the old Taoist whipped his whip, the ox cart turned and headed towards the village at the foot of the mountain in the south.

He lowered his head, his tense body relaxed, his eyes darted around, and he was secretly alert when he entered the village. With so many villagers around, it would be inconvenient for him and his companions to act accordingly.

The old Taoist was concentrating on driving the carriage, with no expression on his face. The little boy behind him had a sad face, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

Xiao Li'er and Yudan were sleeping soundly, only Gou Gen was holding onto the car board with his back hands, his legs hanging naturally and his feet being scratched by the weeds on the roadside. He was laughing with joy, looking at the farm covered with autumn leaves not far away, with excitement in his eyes.

The ox cart slowly approached the gate of Taozhuang. Several old men were already alert and looked at the newcomers with scrutiny.

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the two men carefully. One of them had an immortal look, with an extraordinary aura between his brows, while Jia Da, who was standing next to him, was holding a shovel in his hand, with his head down and not looking at anyone.

Two weirdos.

"Run! They are human traffickers!" Before everyone could react, Gou Gen had already pulled Xiao Li'er and Yu Dan away like rabbits free from a string. Their childish cries broke the tranquility of the village.

The villagers were shocked upon hearing the noise and quickly gathered together to surround the old immortal master and Jia Datuan, who looked stunned.

While everyone was talking, Xie Xian brought Niu Er to the front of the courtyard. She glanced around, saw everyone's expressions, and touched the confused little girl: "Xiao Li'er, why are you here?"

Xiao Lier looked at the nervous faces around her, swallowed her saliva, and realized that she seemed to be in trouble. If my mother knew...

Gou Gen looked at his father Niu Er's eyes and dodged a little. He forgot that his father might be there. Where is my uncle? He looked for him in the crowd anxiously. Grandpa would be fine too!

Xie Xian was very familiar with the expressions of these two little ones. She asked word by word, "How did you three get to Taozhuang?"

Xie Xian's face darkened, and tears welled up in Xiao Li'er's eyes. She suddenly remembered what Gou Gen had shouted just now.

"Take their bullock cart!" They were brought here by others, so they couldn't lie. Then he added, "They didn't ask us for money, they brought me here to find my mother!"

Very good, a stranger can be so kind, he is definitely a human trafficker!

At this time, Gou Gen's courage came back, and he pointed firmly at the old immortal master and Jia Da: "It was them! We met them on the road, and they were carrying a trembling child."

Upon hearing this, the old immortal master slowly straightened his clothes with a calm smile on his face, "You all have misunderstood, I am the Luo Sect Heavenly Master, and I am here only to visit the Lady of the Xie Family.

"And this person has nothing to do with us." He quickly distanced himself from Jiada.

Xie Xian frowned slightly, her eyes wandering between the old immortal master and Jia Da, and said impatiently: "Let's not discuss the right and wrong for now, please invite the two of you to the manor first, and then discuss it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Da's expression suddenly changed, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes. Before anyone could make a move, he suddenly pulled out the shovel from his waist.

Everyone only felt a flash of white light before their eyes. Seeing Jia Da's proud expression, they thought it was some kind of magic weapon. But when they looked closely, they found it was an iron shovel? The shape of the iron shovel looked quite familiar, so they couldn't help but look down.

It's quite similar to the one in my hand. Everyone's serious expression paused, emnnnn was quite surprised.

Jiada: ......
