The Most Dazzling National Style of Comprehension

When the water in the second half of the pool was almost gone, the men started to move again.

They cleared a clean slate on the ground, then poured out the cement, and started stirring the cement on that slate.Then, they built a half-meter-high cement embankment on the outermost side of the pool.There is a hole in the middle of the embankment, and a black strong rubber tube is inserted inside.About 1 centimeters away from the hose, there is a rectangular cover made of fine gauze, which is covered from the top and the inside to prevent fallen leaves or insects from entering the hose.

It was already late after the cement dam was completed, and the mountains in winter always get dark very quickly.The men went home with empty panniers and tools. It would take a few days for the concrete embankment to dry completely, and they had a lot to do before the embankment dried.

The next day, Zhou Man continued with those strong men again, this time the work was very close, next to the tea garden in the top house of Chashanping.This is a steep slope near the settlement, which is very suitable for digging a reservoir.

It is best not to open the reservoir, as it is very easy to be polluted by rainwater this time, and it is far away from the shelter of the earth, the water will evaporate quickly, and the water temperature will be too high in summer to be unsuitable for drinking.So after comprehensive calculations, Zhou Man decided to build all the pools underground, just like the Karez wells in the Western Regions introduced in geography books.

The tentative plan was a cylindrical pool with a diameter of three meters and a height of five meters. Because spells could not be used, a basket of soil and a stone had to be dug by hand.The men dug hard, the women dumped the soil elsewhere, and children and the elderly supervised and brought water.This is a very huge project, but because of being washed by spiritual energy, the physical fitness of men, women and children is very good, and the pool only needs to be dug for two days.

After the pool is dug out, cement should be applied to the inner layer. The cement should not be mixed with too much sand, otherwise it will easily seep.On the side of the pool facing the settlement, a piece of soil was dug out, and stones were used to form a solid shape like a wall.Eight rubber hoses are connected from a height of [-] centimeters from the bottom of the pool, leading to every household in Chashanping.

The part of the pool exposed to the ground is made into a hemispherical shape, and a piece is cut off from the top to make a one-meter-diameter mouth.The upper cover was made when the pool was dug. It is a cement cover with a diameter of [-] meters and a thickness of [-] centimeters.

"What a huge project!" Ying Feichi sighed, wiping the sweat from his forehead.He was one of the people who dug the pool. Zhouman had arranged for him to transport the soil, but he was unwilling. "Am I not a man?" The little Taoist protested, and Zhou Man had no choice.So Ying Feichi, who had never done physical labor before, just dug the soil for two days. A monk in the late stage of foundation establishment had blood blisters on his palms.

Zhou Man frowned in distress, but Ying Feichi felt nothing.He said happily: "Fortunately, I taught them to practice gymnastics, and you are a monk in the late stage of qi refining. If you are just an ordinary person, how much effort will it take to make this pool?"

Thinking of this, Ying Feichi suddenly respected those mortals who had no magic power and could do all kinds of things with just their hands and brains.When he painted the hemisphere of the pool exposed to the ground, he suggested: "Do you want to write an inscription on the pool as a souvenir? It will be difficult to write after the cement dries."

It's really hard to write, hard cement, you have to pour mana on the iron to draw a knife-like mark.

"Okay!" said Ah Zheng, the team leader of Chashanping. He was also sweating profusely in the winter of 1 to [-] degrees in southern China. "What to write?"

"Let Feichi write it." Zhou Man said, "Feichi can write poetry, and he has good handwriting."

"It turns out that Feichi can write couplets!" The villagers don't know what poetry is. In their impression, the best representative of literary skills is the old man who sets up a stall on the fair every year to write couplets.

"Ah?" Ying Feichi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly waved his hands. "No, I won't..."

"It's okay." Zhou Man patted his head and said with a smile: "It's fine if it rhymes, and a bit of doggerel is fine. They can understand it, but the words must be written well."

He said so, how could Ying Feichi not agree?I had no choice but to break off a cold branch and stood by the pool frowning.After pondering for a long time, he finally wrote a poem on the wet cement, and wrote the date solemnly.

"What did you write?" Zhou Man was more excited than himself. He immediately went up to check and read: "Water has its source and trees have roots. When you drink water, you don't forget the well digger. If you have ambition, you are not afraid of the water source. December 1990th of the lunar calendar in [-]."

"The Dragon King admires Jiashui people..." Ah Zheng murmured, and then clapped his hands: "Well written!"

"That's right! When we come back from that gate, the Dragon King must admire us!"

"It didn't matter how many years, as long as there are people here, we will use this pool. Let them know and remember that it was our generation who dug the pool. Didn't forget the well digger for the water!"

"It's really aspirational and not afraid of the water source. We came back from Mochiao so far!"

The villagers discussed it a lot, and finally praised it unanimously: "Fei Chi, you want it, well written!"

Ying Feichi blushed a little from the praise, scratching her hair and didn't know what to say.He is very happy in his heart, because he works hard to do things for others, and when things are done, others are happy and grateful to him, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

"No wonder cultivators, especially sword cultivators, like to act chivalrously, so they are so happy!"

What was even more gratifying was that on the fourth day, the water pipes of each household were connected, and after the taps were installed, the cement in the dikes and pools dried up.Zhou Man led the men to lead the water pipe from Mochiao back to the pool, and checked the equipment and work everywhere again.Then, Zhou Man personally smashed and cleared the yellow soil dam in the middle of the pool at the source, and the water that had been stored for four days rushed towards the gauze net. Water pipes flow to the village.

Zhou Man observed along the road and asked Ah Zheng, the team leader of Chashanping, to write down every possible faulty joint.When they checked all the way to the pool of the settlement, everyone was cheering.

"Zhou Man, Zhou Man!" Ying Feichi rushed over to hug him, completely forgetting the entanglement and shyness of the day of the term exam, and laughed loudly: "Zhou Man, there is water! There is water!"

The clear spring water flows into the pool under the guidance of the rubber hose, and the clear dripping sound is heard in the ears of every villager.Everyone was cheering, and the old people even wiped away their tears.

"We want to celebrate!" Ah Zheng said loudly. "Kill the chicken! Make a meal!"

That night, each family in Chashanping killed a chicken, the family that brewed wine carried the jars, and the family that kept hazelnuts fried the hazelnuts.The eight families set up a stove and set up a hot pot in Guping, and had a hearty meal.

"What is this?" Ying Feichi smelled the mellow transparent liquid, very curious.

"You can't drink this." Zhou Man was a little drunk, but still remembered his parent's mission. "Wine, the Yao people's home-brewed wine is very spicy and strong, and you will pass out after one sip. And... you are not yet full, and minors are not allowed to drink!"

Oh damn limited!Ying Feichi was furious, and finally drank several bowls of chicken soup viciously, and then took the half-drunk Zhou Man back to school.

Only the pool in Chashanping takes so much time. The other settlements are relatively close to the ravine. As expected, after fifteen days, the entire Guanjiang Village has left the age of carrying water, and has since entered the age of playing with taps. period.

"Fortunately, there is Aman!" Wu Dong sighed, "I should treat you with wine!"

"Uncle Wu Dong, forget it, I can't drink any more!" Zhou Man repeatedly begged for mercy, and every pool was completed, there was a settlement to celebrate with wine. In the past half month, Zhou Man has been half drunk every few days, I really dare not drink anymore.

"That's for you!" Wu Dong refused, "You have contributed to our village, we must thank you very much!"

"Tell it as if I'm not from Guanjiang Village." Zhou Man pretended to be angry, causing Wu Dong to just shake his head.Zhou Man knows that Yao people are like this, he doesn't feel anything about how much he helps you, but they feel that they have to repay a little help from others.He thought for a while and said: "Well, Chinese New Year is coming soon. I don't raise chickens, ducks, pigs, or grow vegetables. You see, the family that kills pigs will give me a catty or two of pork, and chickens and ducks. Ciba, just give me some."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and after dealing with the souvenir shop and the medicinal food shop, he will give the little Taoist a good New Year.After all, this is Zhou Man's first time celebrating the New Year with someone, and it is also Ying Feichi's first year in this world, so it must be treated seriously.

The author has something to say: This doggerel was engraved on our pool.

In fact, 42 and 43 were written on the same day. Now I really want to eat sauerkraut and fried bacon. . . t^t
