This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world
Chapter 251 Construction
"Hey!"
Under the scorching sun, countless shirtless men in the fields outside Yuantai Town were wielding hoes and shovels, and following An Ling's instructions, they were digging a "reservoir" to store water.
On the ridges of the fields, women and children were also busy. Some of them carried loads of soil and transported it to other places, some cooked and washed clothes in the rear to ensure logistics, and some, together with the children, brought water and food to the men. The scene was very lively.
Of course, in just a few days, the pit used to serve as a "reservoir" is only a few meters deep, and it is still a long way from being completed.
The water depth of a reservoir is generally around 10 to 150 meters. If it is built in a mountain valley, the height of the mountain reservoir dam will be more than 100 meters, and the water depth will be greater than that of a reservoir in a hilly area. Therefore, if the town residents are the only ones to build it, it will take a year or even several years for the reservoir to be truly completed!
An Ling silently calculated the numbers in her mind and could only sigh. No wonder the Daxuan officials did not carry out the infrastructure construction according to the design of Shanhai Academy. Compared with sending a monk who knew how to call for rain to each place, the cost of conscripting civilians to build infrastructure was still too high!
She looked at the sun that seemed to melt her, and thought to herself that this couldn't go on. Since this was a fantasy world, she couldn't use the old tricks from Blue Star.
She clapped her hands and used the wind to carry her voice to the ears of every town resident: "Everyone, stop for a moment, drink some water and take a rest. I have something to notify you this afternoon."
Then she walked up to the mayor who was hiding in the house to avoid the cool air, looked at him dozing off in the chair, and coughed lightly.
The mayor was still unaware at first, mumbling something. After removing the account book covering his face, he wanted to curse, but when he saw An Ling's face, he was shocked and rolled off the chair. After adjusting the black gauze hat on his head, he rubbed his hands, smiled at An Ling, and asked flatteringly: "Master, why are you here?"
Town mayor Zhang Dagui kept muttering in his heart, isn't this immortal supervising the fields? Why did he suddenly come to check on me? I just took a short nap, it doesn't count as being lazy!
An Ling didn't expose him. She found a seat for herself and sat down. She smiled and said, "I just asked them to go downstairs and rest. Mayor Li, I want to talk to you."
"Take a break, take a break, why do you still work in such a hot day..." Zhang Dagui smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. It seemed that the immortal wanted to give up. That's right. After all, a scholar came before. As soon as he saw him, he pulled him to talk about machinery and other things. It gave him a headache. Isn't it enough to find someone to come and make it rain regularly? Why do we have to build a reservoir? Finding things for yourself when you have nothing to do?
"Mayor, I've thought about it. Since I'm here, I can help you do the most difficult and repetitive work. In the afternoon, I want you to organize everyone to dig a canal from the reservoir to their fields. As for the connection between the reservoir and the... Qiguniang Lake on the mountain, leave it to me."
"What!" You still want to build it?
Zhang Dagui's face turned red, but there was nothing he could do. This woman was an immortal with great magical powers, and she seemed to be wholeheartedly treating them well. Since she offered to work, he just had to agree.
……
In the afternoon, everyone gathered on the edge of the field and looked at each other, wondering what An Ling was going to do next.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, An Ling clapped her hands, walked to the reservoir which was only two or three meters deep, and said to everyone: "You don't need to dig the reservoir anymore. It takes too much time and wastes too much productivity. Just watch!"
Her eyes focused, and she stretched out her index and middle fingers side by side towards the hole. A tiny ray of light shot out from her fingertips and penetrated deep into the soil.
She closed her eyes and used her mind's eye to observe the depth of the spiritual light. After reaching a certain depth, she suddenly opened her eyes and shouted softly, "Explode!"
Then, the earth shook!
Countless earth and rocks exploded from the pit, raising dust. Seeing this, An Ling hurriedly used her spare storage bag, which she had already vacated, to collect the exploded earth and rocks. However, the earth at a depth of nearly 100 meters was still too much, and it actually filled up her storage bag. An Ling looked at the dozens of meters of earth and rocks left, shrugged her shoulders, and decided to run again.
But ordinary people had a harder time. The townspeople fell to the ground screaming and hugged their loved ones in horror. The entire Yuantai Town was shaking violently like sieve chaff. After a few breaths, it slowly calmed down.
They were grateful to be alive, but at the same time they became more afraid of An Ling.
An Ling flew into the air with his sword and threw the pile of earth to the other side of the mountain. Then he went back and forth several times and finally finished moving all the earth.
"Alas, I never thought that after cultivating for so many years, I would end up moving bricks in another world." An Ling shook her head and smiled bitterly. She flew over the lake on the neighboring mountain for a while, checked the water quality and depth, and measured the distance to Yuantai Town. Then she flew back to Yuantai Town and said to everyone, "I'm ready to open up the mountain. You should follow my route plan and dig and build stone irrigation canals in your fields. When you are done, I will connect the reservoir with Qiguniang Lake to allow the lake water to flow into Yuantai Town."
"Oh..." Zhang Dagui, who was forcibly brought here, sighed. Well, he still has to work.
Before, when they were resting, An Ling had surveyed the topography of the farmland in Yuantai Town. Based on the different heights, slopes, and geological characteristics of the terrain, she drew the approximate location of the irrigation canal on the ground, took out a wooden stick engraved with a scale, pointed to the lowest mark, and told everyone: "The depth of the canal must be based on this mark. If it is too deep, it will be flooded, and if it is too shallow, the fields behind will be dry. I will check whether your ditches are complete later."
"Master, wait a moment!" a townsman shouted. Although everyone was afraid of this unknown master, he had not done anything wrong and had not killed any children. So what was he afraid of?
"What's wrong?" An Ling asked.
"Where can we find a stonemason to build these... er, canals?"
"Well... that's a problem," An Ling thought for a while and replied, "Then you guys dig the canal first, and I'll find a solution."
"Master, I heard that there is a stonemason with pretty good skills in Liyang City, hundreds of miles away. Would you like to go there and take a look?" Zhang Dagui said.
An Ling pondered for a moment and asked, "What's that person's name?"
"Shi Tongming, it is said that his family makes a living by making stones."
……
An Ling cast an invisibility spell on herself and quietly climbed over the city wall.
Liyang City is located in the southwest of Zhongzhou and belongs to Sanyi Prefecture, one of the nine prefectures of Daxuan. Unlike Tianxing Prefecture, which names the city and surrounding areas after the "prefecture", Sanyi Prefecture is not conducive to the construction of large-scale settlements due to its complex and changeable terrain and the mountains and dense forests. Therefore, the towns within Sanyi Prefecture are scattered, and all the towns are combined to form a complete Sanyi Prefecture.
Liyang City is one of the big cities in Sanyi Prefecture.
Just like Tianxing and Jiangning, if you want to enter Liyang City, you have to pass the magic array inspection at the city gate before you can pass. The purpose is to prevent demons from sneaking in.
An Ling's identity is sensitive now, and she is being hunted by the Futian Army and the collaborator Lu Xiuhong, so she must hide her identity.
In Yuantai Town, An Ling also did a good job of disguising herself.
After some trouble, An Ling finally arrived at an unnamed stonemason shop.
An Ling pondered for a moment, and just as she was about to push the door open, alarm bells rang in her heart!
She actually felt a faint evil aura in there!
An Ling chuckled and pushed the door open. The interior of the stonemason's shop was filled with various tools, and there were also several unfinished stone sculptures of various shapes placed around it. In the middle, there were two couplets hanging.
First Couplet: A stubborn stone without heart and feeling is useless.
Second line: Immortals are both intelligent and compassionate.
An Ling raised her eyebrows slightly. This shop was quite interesting. After she stopped, she shouted into the shop, "Is anyone there? I have a big deal."
"No, get out." Unexpectedly, a tired and decadent voice of a middle-aged man came from the back hall, directly rejecting An Ling.
An Ling added: "Why don't you do the business that comes to your door?"
"If we don't want to do it, we won't do it," the man continued, "the Shi family's hundreds of years of foundation will be gone. You are the last customer, take whatever you like. This store will be closed tomorrow."
