After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

Zhou Hui was digging a canal with Xie Jiabao. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked towards the sky.

"what happened?"

Xie Jiabao was puzzled. What was the young scholar doing? Was he tired?

"I just think the weather is nice! Let's work quickly, and then catch a pheasant for mom so she can make soup."

Zhou Hui suppressed his emotions and continued to dig the canal. If he didn't feel anything just now, it must be that someone was spying on him.

Who is it?

Could they be the two gods Baijian and Tiansi that Huizhou mentioned?

Zhou Hui couldn't figure it out, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being and started busying himself with digging the canal.

Both of them were strong men, and they quickly widened the ten-meter-long canal to one and a half meters and deepened it by two meters.

When the water flowed down, Xie Jiabao collapsed directly to the ground.

"Mom! This is too tiring."

If both of them didn't have martial arts skills, they would have been exhausted.

Zhou Hui was holding the hoe, watching the water flowing down, a smile appeared on his face.

"Let Datou and his men fix the canal tomorrow. That way, the village won't be short of water."

Zhou Hui has ambitions in his heart, but someone has to do the work!

Do I have to cut myself into countless pieces?

Seeing that he was lying on the ground and didn't want to move, Zhou Hui put the hoe next to him and said, "Wait here, I'll catch a rabbit and bring it back."

There are no natural enemies near the lake and the resources are abundant, so there are many rabbits and they are not vigilant at all.

Zhou Hui picked up stones and knocked out several of them. Because of his attacks, the rabbits all dodged.

He wandered around the plain again and actually found some condiments like chili peppers and wild onions.

When he brought these things back, Xie Jiabao's eyes widened.

"Weren't you going to catch chickens? How did it become catching rabbits?"

Xie Jiabao looked at the four fainted white rabbits in his hands, puzzled.

"Rabbits are easy to catch! There are no natural enemies here, so rabbits are not very vigilant. As for those pheasants, let's not talk about them!"

Zhou Hui waved his hands. He didn’t want to talk about his embarrassing moments.

Doesn't he want to catch pheasants? Yes!

But these pheasants are very smart, and it seems like they have eight hundred eyes all over their bodies.

The pheasants dodged all the stones he threw.

So, you can only pick on the weak.

"Haha! Scholar, you made a mistake? Let's go home and ask our godmother to fry a rabbit for us."

Xie Jiabao was not polite at all. He just took two hoes and walked down the mountain. Zhou Hui hurriedly followed him.

In the village, large streams of water flowed into the village pond.

The villagers who came to fetch water for irrigation saw the pond water level rising and shouted, "Come and see! The water is rising! The water is rising!"

Originally the water level in the pond was very low, with only a little water in the center of the pond.

Now? The bottom of the pond is full and rising steadily.

He looked at the water flowing down the mountain and his eyes widened.

Was he dazzled? He saw a huge stream of water.

Following his shouting, the villagers all came out to watch the fun.

When they saw the flowing water, everyone went crazy with joy.

With water, they don't have to worry about their vegetables and crops dying.

Woohoo~ That's great! God has shown his power!

"Why is there water suddenly?"

"Yeah! It's not the rainy season now, how come there is so much water?"

"I went to fetch water this morning, and the water only reached my ankles. Such a large amount of water flowed down from the canal. I wonder how deep the water is on the mountain."

"I've told my children not to go up the mountain these days. The land is dry and cracked, and it's easy to slide if the water hits it like this."

"Yes! Yes! It's a good thing to have water, but you also have to warn the children at home."

"Look, the boss and Mr. Zhou are coming back from the canal."

"Hey! Why are they going to the canal? Could it be that...they created this water?"

"Just ask! You'll know if you ask."

"Boss, there is water in this pond."

One of the villagers shouted loudly, unable to conceal the joy in his tone.

The presence of water proves that this year's harvest will be better than last year, at least the crops will not dry up.

"I know! I know! Mr. Zhou and I went to widen the channel, and water will naturally be available."

Xie Jiabao was a man who knew how to give people face. When he was alone with Zhou Hui, he would call him scholar.

When he was outside facing the villagers, he called them Mr. Zhou.

"What? Widened the channel? Up there?"

The villagers all looked at the knife-like stone wall, their eyes filled with shock.

"Yes! There will be no shortage of water in the future. Mr. Zhou said that he will ask Datou to bring the guards to widen the channel and put some stones in it tomorrow. This way it won't be so dangerous for you to go to the mountain to get water or for the children to go catch crabs."

"But! Don't go recently! Wait until the escort team is repaired."

Xie Jiabao was really impressed by Zhou Hui. They had been here for several years but had never found the big tree.

But! This guy found it after only a few days.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

"Mr. Zhou is a good man!"

"The Zhou family are all good people. Aunt Zhou is even willing to teach us how to read!"

"The girl from the Zhou family is the same! She taught our child to read."

"Not only that, Aunt Zhou said she can also make a loom and will teach us how to weave when the time comes."

"Really? That's great! With a loom, we don't have to spend money on cloth."

"Yeah! They're so expensive. We haven't bought new clothes in years."

"Cloth is expensive nowadays, I can't afford it!"

While the villagers were discussing, Zhou Hui and Xie Jiabao left and went home.

Zhou Yuning was sitting on a stool staring at the door. When they pushed open the door, Zhou Yuning saw Xie Jiabao the first time.

Xie Jiabao put down his hoe and wanted to escape. Damn it, he forgot something and didn’t learn to read today.

Zhou Yunning stood up and shouted sinisterly, "Brother Jiabao, where are you going?"

Xie Jiabao: !!!!!!!!!!!!

He turned around awkwardly, forced a smile, and said, "Ning'er! Why are you here too?"

Zhou Yunning snorted twice and said bluntly: "This is my home. If I'm not at home, where else can I be?"

Xie Jiabao pushed Zhou Hui twice, meaning to ask him to help say a few words.

Zhou Hui stood up and said with a smile: "Ning'er, please forgive him! We are widening the canal on the mountain, and he is exhausted."

Zhou Yunning looked at their clothes and saw that they were holding hoes and backpacks, and thought that her brother would not lie to her.

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay!"

"Really?"

Xie Jiabao's eyes lit up. Finally, he didn't have to learn to read today.

"Of course! Tomorrow, twenty!"

After saying this, Zhou Yunning came to take the backpack from her brother's hand, and her eyes lit up when she saw the little rabbit.

Xie Jiabao slid to the ground, muttering to himself, "Oh my God! Ten of them will kill me. These... twenty of them will send me away? Scholar, please."

Xie Jiabao tugged at Zhou Hui's clothes, his face full of pleading.

He is just a bandit, why make things difficult for him?
