Stop water and do nothing

The lake is surrounded by nineteen waterfalls in Basin Mountain. It was originally a barren mountain basin. Later, through manual excavation, nineteen sections of waterfalls were created, and the water from the big river was introduced into the belly of the basin, thus forming a huge lake. Shangshui Palace.

However, the river in the basin is shallow and thin, and it is difficult to drain the water. In the season of heavy mountain rain, the lake will surge and cover the floors, causing severe waterlogging.

In order to solve the drainage problem, a sluice was built in the mountains surrounding the lake!Whenever the lake water rises, the sluice can be opened to discharge the large water from the mountain and distribute it to various tributaries, so as to control the water level of the lake.

Perhaps it has been in disrepair for a long time, or it may have been damaged suddenly... In short, this sluice collapsed a few months ago, and just in time for the rainy season, the surging lake flooded half of the Shangshui Palace. .

Seeing that the lake level was still rising, Shang Qianshui hurriedly rummaged through boxes and boxes, pieced things together, and finally raised a sum of money to ask the construction team to repair the sluice.

however……

"No, stop it!"

Knowing that the construction team was coming to destroy the sluice, Shang Qianshui rushed to stop him repeatedly.

"Hmph, this is always calling your master to show up!"

A burly and sturdy man held a sledgehammer, and with a fierce gaze, he glanced at the three 'normal meals' standing beside him with sweaty brows.

Ah Bian resisted this fierce force, and walked forward, "Master Lu, if you have something to say, why bother to get angry..."

"Bah, get out of here!" Master Lu raised his foot and kicked Ah Bian away, "If you have anything to say, wait for your young master to come and tell me!"

"Yes, yes, everything is easy to discuss, easy to discuss! Please don't do anything..." In order to delay the situation, Ah Chang and Ah Fan also came up to add a few words.

"I smashed it!"

Foreman Lu roared loudly, and violently raised his big hammer to hit the gate wall, the stone wall cracked a few big cracks, and dust and lime were scattered all over.

"Wait, here it comes!"

On the other side, Ajiake finally brought Shang Qianshui over.

Foreman Lu saw Shang Qianshui running in a hurry, grinned, and shouted at the group of small workers who brought him behind him, "I smashed them all!"

"Hehe!!"

As soon as the foreman drank it, the group of small workers raised their sledgehammers and were about to hit the wall of the sluice gate!

"No!" Shang Qianshui yelled, stepped forward, and stood in front of Lin Li's sledgehammer, "This sluice gate cannot be smashed!"

Rows of shining big hammers not only did not slow down because of this, but even more viciously smashed at Shang Qianshui's body. Seeing this, 'Everything's normal' was so frightened that his face was green and sweaty, and they all rushed to shake Shang Qianshui. pull away.

Ah Chang pressed Shang Qianshui and said, "Young master, you can't act like this. If you have any losses, the palace master will kill us!"

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Shang Qianshui listened, and lowered his head while holding the ball...

Ah Fan also said, "Yeah, the palace master is angry, he will kill us first and then chop, chop and then fry, fry and then steam, steam and then..."

The Ah family couldn't help kicking Ah Fan away, and said to Shang Qianshui, "Young master, try talking to Foreman Lu and ask him to accommodate us for a few days."

"Ah, oh... ok, ok..."

Shang Qianshui bit his lip while holding the ball, anxious but didn't know what to do, but seeing that the group of small workers had already started to swing the sledgehammer, smashing hard, several cracks on the gate wall were getting bigger and bigger, Shang Qianshui Helpless, I had no choice but to walk up to that foreman with a fierce face...

"Stop talking nonsense, just one word, money!"

Seeing Shang Qianshui's timid look, Foreman Lu yelled at him even more unceremoniously, "If you don't receive any more money today, I'll smash your sluice gate!"

"Don't, it can't be like this!" Shang Qianshui hugged the ball tightly in his arms, suppressing the panic in his heart, and begged, "I will continue to find a way for money, can you accommodate me for a few days?"

"Are you deaf?! I said, I will receive the money today!!"

Shang Qianshui flinched tremblingly at his yelling, "Then, that... the sluice is also repaired by your workers, and now it's only a few days away. Isn't it a pity to smash it like this..."

"Oh, the young master wants to come and reason with Lu Tou?!" As he said, Foreman Lu took his big hammer and forced Shang Qianshui a few steps. His tall and sturdy figure enveloped Shang Qianshui In the shadows.

"No..." Shang Qianshui took a few steps back trembling, "That... I just want to ask you not to smash this sluice gate..."

Foreman Lu grinned, "We repaired the sluice, so let's count it as ours! The amount of labor and materials you paid back then wasn't even enough for a head. I'll give you money to repair the sluice, and I'll use it for you for a few months. Up to this point, it can be called treating you well, young master?"

Shang Qianshui bit his lips and remained silent. Foreman Lu approached, bent over to his cheek, and Shang Qianshui flinched uncomfortably with his rough breath.

"Hey, why did the young master suddenly stop talking, waiting for you to move those lips to bicker with me!"

As soon as Foreman Lu finished speaking, the small workers over there who were smashing the sluice with all their strength burst into laughter!

Shang Qianshui didn't understand what they were laughing at, but felt inexplicably embarrassed, his face turned red, and he hugged the ball in his arms tightly...

"One, one day, just one day!" Shang Qianshui was so nervous that his breathing was messed up, his voice trembling unsteadily, "Please give me a day, I will raise money!"

Foreman Lu laughed a few times, and then roared, "One day?! How far is one day enough for you to run!?"

"I, I...don't worry, I assure you, I will never run away..."

Seeing Mr. Lu approaching step by step, Shang Qianshui could only keep backing away until his back felt cold, and unexpectedly he hit the stone wall.

"Promise?" Foreman Lu spat, "Listen! Today, I'll either smash this sluice for you, or you'll bring me something valuable!"

As he said that, he fiercely grabbed Shang Qianshui's arm!

"Wow, it's so cold!" The coldness seeped into the skin and bones, and Gongtou Lu shrank his pupils, revealing a ferocious expression, "What kind of body are you!!"

Shang Qianshui was frightened and couldn't help shouting, "No, let go!"

Seeing that Foreman Lu made a move against the young master, the four of them immediately rushed forward to stop them, and the group of sledgehammer workers beside them who were smashing vigorously also rushed forward when they saw that there was a fight Come and join in the fun!

In the chaos, I suddenly heard a scream like killing a pig!

"Yeah, who is it?!" Worker Lu covered his forehead that was smashed by a silver ingot in pain, his eyes were about to burst, and he glared at the surroundings, "Whoever smashed it, get out of here!!"

The sluice was built at the mouth of the lake in the mountains. At this moment, it was almost dusk. The setting sun passed through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows. A golden and copper-colored bright spot flickered for a few moments, which was a bit dazzling. Everyone squinted their eyes and looked at a The man walking slowly...

This man, of course, is Gao Zhiqi.

Seeing him coming, Shang Qianshui was a little surprised, a little happy, a little relieved, and a little annoyed...

They had just fallen out and were still in the stage of ignoring each other. Shang Qianshui thought that he would not show up on his own initiative, let alone asking him to help him...

Walking up the sluice in two or three steps, Gao Zhiqi stepped on the sluice wall with a smile on his face, "click", and saw that the cracks that were smashed opened a few inches deeper, then turned his head away and walked to Shangqian Beside Shui, he greeted, "Qian Shui, are you cold?"

Shang Qianshui stared at him blankly, and said softly, "It's not cold..."

"Are you hungry?" Gao Zhiqi asked again.

"Stop giving up, you..."

Gao Zhiqi raised his hand to stop what Shang Qianshui was about to say, and continued to ask, "Qianshui, is this really Shangshui Palace?"

"........."

"Are you really the young master of Shangshui Palace, Shang Qianshui?"

"........."

Shang Qianshui suddenly wanted to scold Gao Zhiqi for being an asshole, but he never scolded others, and the first time it was given to him, and now he is not angry enough to scold him for the second time...

"who are you!!"

Foreman Lu raised his sledgehammer, rushed up to stop Qiqi and shouted angrily.However, the hands are trembling, and the feet are also trembling.I just felt that after this man appeared, the atmosphere on the spot changed suddenly, and everyone didn't dare to take half a step towards him because of his awe-inspiring aura.

Gao Zhiqi ignored the people around him, only looked at Shang Qianshui, and seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "You know? Qian Shui, what you did was wrong."

"What?" Shang Qianshui was stunned.

"This is a sluice built with other people's money. If you want to smash it or tear it down, it's other people's business. You didn't pay the wages, and you still come here to prevent others from smashing it. It's really unreasonable."

"I..." After he said this, Shang Qianshui suddenly felt speechless.Feeling uncomfortable, I had no choice but to hold the ball and lower my head, "But...without the sluice to drain water, the house will be submerged soon..."

"Qianshui..." Gao Zhiqi sighed, and said softly, "I think this sluice gate is about to be smashed, and you can't stop it. They will definitely beat you to repair the sluice later. You pay for it." You don’t know the wages, and they come back after a few months to continue smashing. They smashed and knocked, knocked and smashed, and they just keep pestering you, what’s the matter?”

"Zhiqi!" Shang Qianshui exclaimed suddenly, raised his head, and stared at Gao Zhiqi, full of amazement...

Foreman Lu opened his eyes, and covered his timidity by roaring, "Who are you, how dare you meddle in your own business!"

Gao Zhiqi didn't even look at it, let him yell at him, and said softly to Shang Qianshui, "Qianshui, let me decide this matter for you, okay?"

"Stop giving up..." Shang Qianshui looked at him with mixed feelings in his heart, and couldn't help it.I didn't even think about the other person's words clearly, I only heard him ask myself "Is it okay", and I nodded involuntarily...

"it is good……"

Gao Zhiqi smiled, gently pinched the two strands of hair hanging from his cheeks, then took out the copper water ladle from his waist, and held it in his hand.

Foreman Lu stared at the brass-yellow ladle, and suddenly roared and laughed, "Hahahahaha!! Come on, smash this bumbling brat to pieces!"

With a roar, Foreman Lu raised his sledgehammer and rushed towards Gao Zhiqi, and the group of small workers under him immediately roared, and several rows of sledgehammers fell to the place where Gao Zhiqi and monk Qianshui were standing. It's about to hit.

Gao Zhiqi calmly stretched his arms around Shang Qianshui's waist, and jumped with force on the soles of his feet, taking him up into the air.Meanwhile, the soft and cold feeling made him frown...

"Stop giving up?" Shang Qianshui looked at him puzzled.

Gao Zhiqi didn't say a word, and saw that his arms and wrists nimbly drove the water ladle to rotate, a gust of air rose up, and the strong wind gathered and became stronger, forming a wall of wind surrounding the two of them.

The wind blew dust and sand, blinding the eyes of the group of hammers. The strong wind gathered and forced them back from their forward steps. Gao Zhiqi squinted his eyes, turned the water ladle around, and swung his arm violently!

In an instant, there was a strong wind, and the loud 'bang' resounded through the sky. Shang Qianshui was surprised, looked down, and couldn't help shouting, "Sluice!!"

At the same time, the 'everyday food' who were hiding in the distance to avoid the limelight also yelled in unison, "Sluice!!"

With Gao Zhiqi's blow, the entire sluice was shattered! !

The stone wall cracked open, and the lake water rushed out from the gap, smashing into a bigger hole, and the turbulent momentum was out of control!The gate completely collapsed, all the bricks, mud, sand and rocks fell into the turbulent current, and Mr. Lu and his group of hammers who were yelling and screaming were all washed out of the basin by the flood. The scene was breathtaking...

Gao Zhiqi took back the water ladle calmly, turned around in mid-air, hugged Shang Qianshui horizontally with both hands, carefully avoided the ball in his arms, and then jumped onto a tree trunk.

A strong wind blows across the border, fallen leaves are flying, and under the setting sun, a pair of deep shadows are lingering...

In Gao Zhiqi's arms, Shang Qianshui softly called out to him, "Zhiqi..."

"Huh?" Gao Zhiqi lowered his head, watching Xu Feng blowing the hair on both sides of Shang Qianshui's cheeks, his eyes were as bright as water.

"Are you not angry anymore?" Shang Qianshui asked him softly.

Gao Zhiqi smiled softly, "What about Qian Shui, are you still angry with me?"

"Won't……"

"That's good."

"But..." Shang Qianshui whispered, "The water gate at home..."

Gao Zhiqi nodded, "Yes, I know."

"What to do, even the second floor is going to be flooded..." Shang Qianshui stared at Gao Zhiqi's Yushu Linfeng face which was close at hand, his voice became lower and lower.

"It's okay, there are higher rooms above the Waterfall."

With a palpitation in his heart, Shang Qianshui stared fixedly at Gao Zhiqi, and Gao Zhiqi also stared at Shang Qianshui intently.

"Stop giving up..."

"Qian Shui..."

The two gradually approached each other, closer and closer, closer...

"what!!!"

This is, the ball in Shang Qianshui's arms hit Gao Zhiqi's chest!

"Ahhh!!!"

This is, Shang Qianshui in Gao Zhiqi's arms fell from the tree!

"Ahhhh!!!"

This is, it is commonplace to come to see their horrible appearance covered in mud!

Okay, okay, how can it be bad!

.........

After the water flow gradually slowed down, the place has become a mess and dilapidated. 'Everyday meal' ran over, each with a complicated expression...

Ah Fan was thinking: Great!The young master is safe and sound, the four of them don't need to be killed by the palace master, chopped up and fried, fried and steamed, steamed...

Ah Chang was thinking: Oops!The section of the building that was smashed by the catfish has not been repaired, and the place has been messed up again, and the family is getting more and more unable to make ends meet...

Ajia was thinking: Hey!This man has a good mind and high martial arts, and looks quite reliable. Do you want to ask the young master to keep him?Hey, it doesn't seem right. Why did this man come to our house? ?

Ah was thinking: Well... the sun is about to set, should I remind the young master that it's time for him to 'start work'...

On this end, everyone has their own ideas and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, the monk Gao Zhiqi Qianshui has climbed up from the muddy ground, looking disheveled and embarrassed, but interesting.

Shang Qianshui carried the ball back, wiped his muddy face with his muddy sleeves, and then looked around... After the flood, the collapsed gate was blocked with gravel and branches. , the lake will surely surge up.

"A sluice is still needed..." Shang Qianshui sighed softly.

"No problem," Gao Zhiqi took out a written letter from his arms as if he had been prepared for a long time, "Yongping Street, Yueliang City, the largest workshop at the fifth door on the left, take this letter from me. Ask the boss, and tell him that Gao Zhiqi of Baitong Inn wants to build a sluice around the lake at the Nineteen Waterfalls in Penshan.”

"Stop abandoning..." Shang Qianshui looked at him in disbelief...

Gao Zhiqi threw the letter to the A family on the other side, "This family is hardworking and hardworking. I can assure you that there will be a new invincible sluice here soon."

"Qiqi, is this really okay? I, I may owe you a long time..." As he said, Shang Qianshui lowered his head.

Gao Zhiqi waved off the mud from his hands, and gently wiped his cheeks, "It's okay, as long as you agree to me, not to mention one sluice, even a hundred will not be a problem."

"Promise what?" Feeling the temperature from the man's fingers, Shang Qianshui trembled slightly.

"Qian Shui, since we have become friends..."

Shang Qianshui's eyes flickered, "Are we going to do what friends do?"

Gao Zhiqi nodded, and said softly, "Friends need to help each other. For example, I helped Qianshui repair a sluice, and Qianshui promised me a request."

"Okay!" Shang Qianshui smiled and immediately agreed.

Very good, finally coaxed him this time!

Gao Zhiqi was silently excited in his heart... This strength was not in vain, his first victory in ten years is finally coming!After taking care of Shang Qianshui from Shangshui Palace, he can immediately rush back to Yueliang City to say good news to his nagging father who is 'not his own'!

After stabilizing his emotions, Gao Zhiqi said softly to Shang Qianshui, "Qianshui, please promise me that in the name of martial arts and as the young master of Shangshui Palace, you and I, Gao Zhiqi, will have a fight here. good?"

"Okay!" Shang Qianshui agreed without hesitation.

After listening, Gao Zhiqi smiled humbly on his face, and the waves were calm.

However, his inner world is like this...

Ahhh, how difficult it is!

He finally agreed! !

He agreed! ! !

I promised! !

what! ! !

"Then let's start now, shall we?" Probably because he was too excited, Gao Zhiqi took a step closer to Shang Qianshui with piercing eyes.

Shang Qianshui was taken aback by his gaze, and backed away. Just when he was about to say "yes", Ah Bian came up and whispered something in his ear...

Gao Zhiqi's eyebrows froze, he had a very bad premonition!

Sure enough, Shang Qianshui's expression became anxious, and he blurted out, "Ah, it can't be done now!"
