When more than 300 people from seven villages were setting up bamboo pipes, Li Mengyue had already found a suitable place to build a reservoir.

She found that except for Xinghua Village which was close to the mountain, the other six villages were close to the river, except for Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village which were a little farther away.

If you want to build a reservoir, it cannot be too far from the village, nor too close.

At the same time, we must prepare for the worst-case scenario, which is to give villagers enough time to react if a dam breaks.

In this way, a buffer zone should be left from the village to the reservoir.

There happen to be several hills between Xinghua Village and Teyu Dakeng. Building the reservoir behind the hills is just the right distance away and can effectively relieve the embankment.

Another point is that when building a reservoir, a large number of trees will inevitably be used. When cutting down large trees, you cannot cut down a large area at a time. You have to cut down one tree at a time.

Only in this way can the trees on the mountain play the role of stabilizing the water and soil, and will not be cut down entirely, causing natural disasters such as flash floods or mudslides when heavy rains occur.

If that is the case, we can only say that they deserve it and it is all people's own fault.

Therefore, after the reservoir was built, there was a small hill to block it and there were trees on the hill. Even if there were problems and they had to dig channels to divert water, there was no need to worry about bringing a catastrophic disaster to the villagers living at the foot of the hill.

After considering this, there is only one place that meets the requirements. That is, there is a flat and concave vacant area more than 20 miles away from Xinghua Village. The area is not small and can be used to build a reservoir.

After deciding on the reservoir address, Li Mengyue did not stay any longer and prepared to leave without hesitation.

But after taking a few steps, my stomach suddenly started to hurt.

"hiss!"

Worried that there was something wrong with the baby, Li Mengyue stopped immediately.

But her stomach didn't hurt anymore, as if the pain at that moment was just an illusion.

So Li Mengyue touched her belly and asked softly, "Baby, what's wrong?"

After waiting for a while, there was no reply. It was obvious that the baby would not give her any answer.

Li Mengyue prepared to walk again, but after she took a few steps, her stomach hurt again. When she stopped, the pain went away.

Li Mengyue didn't believe it and tried it several times in a row, but her stomach hurt the same way every time.

Fearing that the baby might really be hurt, Li Mengyue dared not act rashly. After all, the continuous pain reminded her that the baby did not want her to leave.

"Baby, mother really can't guess what you want to do."

"Ow..."

Suddenly Li Mengyue heard the warning cry of an animal.

Li Mengyue suddenly became alert, and at the same time wondered when her vigilance had become so low.

In the past, she would have noticed any movement nearby immediately, but now she only noticed it when she heard the animal's cry.

However, Li Mengyue did not care too much and started to investigate. Soon, she saw a tiger lying under a cliff.

The tiger was seriously injured and its belly was bulging, and it was obvious that it was about to give birth.

"Ow—"

Facing the tiger's warning, Li Mengyue did not move forward, but stood still and said gently: "You are injured. If you don't bandage the wound in time, you will bleed to death."

"Ouch——"

"And if I'm not mistaken, you're having a difficult labor. Since you're pregnant, I can help you."

The tiger, which was baring its teeth in an attempt to scare Li Mengyue away, became quiet for a moment after hearing these words, but roared a few more times in the blink of an eye.

"you do not believe me."

The tiger rolled his eyes in a humane way, as if to say, how could I trust a stranger.

"Don't you want the baby to be born safely?"

These words touched the tiger's heart. The tiger turned its head, licked the hair on its belly, and a sense of sadness emanated from its whole body.

"Don't be sad. I told you I could help you. If you don't believe me, forget it."

Li Mengyue saw that the tiger didn't believe it. Even though the tiger cub was very dangerous, she didn't have that much patience. She just waited there, not knowing where the villagers' bamboo pipes were.

So Li Mengyue turned around and left, but when she had not gone far, she heard the tiger's cry of painful struggle, so she had to go back quickly.

He took out the magic water bag, poured some spiritual spring water into a bowl, and placed it next to the tiger's mouth.

"Drink it, it will be good for your wound."

The tiger sniffed with its nose, its eyes brightened, and it drank the spiritual spring water in two or three gulps. Then it looked at Li Mengyue eagerly.

Li Mengyue was not stingy and poured a lot of spiritual spring water. Tiger drank it in a few gulps and his bulging belly moved.

The tiger was in great pain, and Li Mengyue knew that the tiger was about to give birth.

After a while, the tiger was shaking with pain, and Li Mengyue reached out to help check it.

My heart skipped a beat, this was a difficult birth.

"You are having a difficult birth. If you want to have a smooth birth, you need my help. I will help you next. Don't resist."

Seeing that the tiger was very weak, Li Mengyue took out a golden needle and helped the tiger stop the bleeding, and then helped the tiger give birth.

After a cup of tea, the tiger gave birth to a cub.

Li Mengyue put the tiger cub in front of the tiger.

"Meow meow meow..."

The tiger cub's voice is soft and delicate, with a hint of childishness and curiosity, as if it is announcing its arrival to the world with its soft voice.

The tiger licked the cub lovingly.

Seeing that there was nothing left for her to do, Li Mengyue said hello to Tiger and left.

What she didn't know was that the little tiger cub opened its bright eyes and looked at Li Mengyue curiously, raising its furry little paws as if saying goodbye to Li Mengyue.

Li Mengyue didn't take this matter to heart. She was pregnant and didn't want the tiger cub to die. In addition, she had a stomachache before, which made her feel compassion and helped the tiger give birth smoothly.

The villagers who were setting up the bamboo pipes were very enthusiastic, so when Li Mengyue returned, there were not many left, but they would definitely be able to finish before dark.

Seeing that everyone was working hard, Li Mengyue went down the mountain and prepared to go to Carpenter Yang's house to see how the waterwheel was going.

Carpenter Yang's house.

"Son, hand me what you have."

"Okay, Dad."

Yang Qiang handed over the item and asked in confusion, "Dad, what's the use of making this thing?"

“This is a waterwheel used for watering.”

"I don't believe that the water brought down from the mountain can be brought to the ground with this thing."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. This is what Yue asked me to do. Yue said it's okay, so there must be no problem."

Yang Qiang felt incredulous when he saw his father's expression that showed he believed Li Mengyue would gain eternal life.

Who could have thought that his father would be so convinced of a girl.

But we can't blame his father, it's really because Li Mengyue has brought huge changes to their family.

They used to worry about having nothing to eat, but after making the fishing nets for a while, their family made a lot of money and could have three meals a day, and they were full every time.

He had never dared to think about this before, but now it was achieved easily. Instead of refutation of his father's words, he agreed with them. Looking at the waterwheel standing in the yard, he worked more attentively.
