Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 74 Waterwheel
The days after becoming the city lord were no different from before. Everyone had their own work and rarely bothered Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo would stand on the city wall every day, looking at the environment in the city and thinking about how to deal with the river in the city.
Gua Yan woke up the day after becoming the city lord, but his wings still needed to heal. However, he was happy to do so at the home of his favorite female. It was just that the female's orc partner was a little fierce, but everything else was fine. He was a little reluctant to leave, so it didn't matter if his wounds healed slowly.
As time passed, the leaves outside the city became lush, the buildings inside the city had more of a livelier feel, and the moat was about to be filled with water. Cheng Mo and Ban Mu flew in the sky, watching the orcs of the Long Nose Tribe dig up the last layer of soil. In an instant, the surging river water poured into the moat, gradually flowed into the city along the river channel, and then gradually calmed down.
The orcs in the city cheered and carried the clay jars from their homes to fetch water. Some even pulled carts to transport water, but their water consumption was huge, so they could only fetch water one trip at a time.
"Scatter! Scatter!" A long-nosed orc transformed into his original form held up his nose and walked slowly over. The orcs next to him quickly moved away. Water sprayed out of the long-nosed orc's nose, and the water fell on the ground that needed irrigation. The surrounding orcs cheered. When the water in his nose was used up, the long-nosed orc walked to the river again, but in an instant, the water level in the river dropped a lot, and then the long-nosed orc went to irrigate again.
Cheng Mo looked at the scene calmly, and a tool appeared in his mind - a waterwheel. A waterwheel is an agricultural machine that can continuously draw water from rivers, lakes, ponds and other surface waters. It can not only draw water for highlands, but also drain water from low fields.
"Banmu, let's go find the murderer!" Cheng Mo patted Banmu under him and said.
Banmu spread his wings and flew towards Xiongtai's home. When they arrived, they met Xiongtai who was out fetching water.
"Xingtai!" Cheng Mo jumped off Banmu, and Banmu changed into human form and followed him.
"Ah! It's the city lord!" Xiongtai poked his head out from behind the pottery jar. The pottery jar he was holding was too big, and he couldn't see the road while holding it.
"Are you going to get some water?" Cheng Mo asked, looking at the pottery jar in Xiongtai's hand. Since moving into the new house, almost everyone has a large pottery jar at home. For example, Cheng Mo's family uses two large water vats that were originally fired.
"Yes, Lord City Lord, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xiongtai asked, putting down the pottery jar in his hand.
"I want to ask you to make something. Do you have any paper at home? I came in a hurry and didn't draw the blueprint." Cheng Mo spread his hands and said.
"Yes! Yes!" Xiongtai nodded and took Cheng Mo inside to find paper and charcoal pencils, while Banmu picked up the pottery jar that Xiongtai had placed outside to fetch water.
Cheng Mo drew a blueprint of a waterwheel according to his memory and handed it to Xiongtai, then pointed to the blueprint and explained the working principle of the waterwheel in detail: "Xiongtai, this is called a waterwheel, which is used to irrigate farmland. The farmland on the side close to the mountain is larger, so the waterwheel you want to make should also be larger. The waterwheel in front of each person's house can be made smaller, about ten meters high, and the axle is about five meters. There are 24 wooden spokes, and each spoke must have a scraper and a water bucket at the top. The scraper is used to scrape water, and the water bucket is used to hold water. When the river water rushes in, the waterwheel slowly rotates the spokes by the inertia of the water, and the water buckets filled with river water will be lifted up step by step."
Xiongtai nodded. This waterwheel was quite simple. He had made a wheel before. This waterwheel just had a scraper and a water bucket between it and the wheel. It was not difficult to make either.
Cheng Mo finished his explanation and seeing that Xiongtai understood, he pulled Banmu away. The problem was finally solved. He wanted to go home and have a rest. He had been busy trying to find a way to solve the problem these days and had no time to spend with his children!
When Cheng Mo dragged Ban Mu back home, Cheng Lingqu was swinging on the swing in the yard, and Gua Yan was standing on the stone table in the yard, chattering, and no one knew what he was saying.
"Father! Dad!" Cheng Lingqu jumped off the swing happily when she saw the two of them.
"Baby!" Cheng Mo hugged Cheng Lingqu and rubbed him. The child's face was so nice to rub!
"Dad." Cheng Lingqu happily kissed Cheng Mo twice on the face. Ban Mu stood by and watched. Cheng Lingqu ran over and hugged Ban Mu's legs. Ban Mu picked him up. He did not show favoritism and kissed Ban Mu twice on the face.
Gua Yan looked up at the family of three over there and flapped his wings desperately: "Chijijijiji!" (You are back!)
Cheng Mo stood up and gently tapped Gua Yan's head and asked, "How do you feel about today?"
"Chichichichi!" (I feel much better today!) Guayan flapped his wings excitedly, ignoring the fierce gaze of Banmu beside him.
"It seems like you've recovered well and are quite lively." Cheng Mo said with a smile.
"Lord City Lord!" Several people were talking in the yard when suddenly a shout came from outside the wall. Cheng Mo looked back and saw Ban Mu walked to the gate of the yard and opened it. Standing outside was Xiong Ya. The little wolf cub had grown up. His childish face had lost its youthfulness and was becoming more and more tough like an adult orc.
"It's Xiongya, what's wrong?" Cheng Mo asked.
"Lord City Lord! There were two babies born in the sheep pen!" Xiongya said excitedly.
Cheng Mo walked over happily: "Really?! Take good care of those two lambs! I'll go take a look!" Cheng Mo said and was about to go to the sheepfold.
Cheng Lingqu looked at the two parents who were about to leave, thought for a moment, grabbed Gua Yan, who was still sorting feathers on the table, and followed them.
Gua Yan, who was suddenly pulled away, said: "Jijiji?" (What are you doing?)
Cheng Lingqu stuffed Gua Yan into his pocket and hurriedly followed Cheng Mo's pace.
When Cheng Mo walked to the sheepfold, a group of people were gathered around the sheepfold to discuss something. When they saw Cheng Mo, they greeted him happily: "Lord City Lord! The sheep have given birth! Two!"
Cheng Mo responded with a smile: "Let me take a look."
Two lambs were shivering in the ewe's arms. The ewe gently licked the blood on the lambs' bodies. A ram stood by and ate grass motionlessly.
The environment inside the sheep pen was clean and tidy, probably because someone was arranged to clean it every day. There was a pile of hay in the corner, and a piece of animal skin stained with blood under the ewe.
"Newly born lambs have weak resistance, so they must be kept warm, and the ewes also need to have more nutrition." Cheng Mo walked to the trough and said while looking at the hay inside.
A female stood up, patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry! Lord City Lord, I will make sure they grow up safely!" This female was in charge of matters in the sheepfold, and she had experience in raising sheep.
