Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

"Now that I have nothing to do, I came here." Wei Qiqi said as he walked towards the fields along the cleared road.

The ground had been well turned over. Wei Qiqi bent down and touched a handful of soil. "It looks like there's not enough water."

"Yes, it's a bit slow for these people to carry water one by one, there's nothing we can do about it. But fortunately it's not too far, just a mile behind this field."

Yang Qingbai was not wrong, it was indeed not far. When they were in the village, they had to go to a farther place to fetch water.

Wei Qiqi followed his gaze and saw that the flat area was a mile away. If a person walked there, it would not be far, just fifteen minutes.

But the bad thing is that you still have to carry water over.

As they were talking, one or two people came lazily from a distance, each carrying two buckets of water on their shoulders, staggering over.

Water was spilled on the soil from time to time. When it got close, Wei Qiqi leaned over and saw that only half of the bucket of water was left.

The largest number of people were assigned to logistics, and most of the labor was solved by using plows and curved plows, but some of the labor was still stuck in this useless task.

perhaps……

Wei Qiqi walked towards the direction these people were coming from, and Yang Qingbai behind her hurriedly followed. He seemed to feel something vaguely and vaguely guessed what Wei Qiqi might want to do.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly brought people over.

The one-mile distance was a little difficult for Wei Qiqi to walk, but she didn't have to carry two wooden barrels, so she walked about the same speed as the people carrying barrels.

When she got there, her forehead was already covered with sweat. Ye Yuanxin beside her hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped it for Wei Qiqi.

There is a small river ten meters away. According to Yang Qingbai, the small river flows down from a slightly higher terrain and is about five meters wide.

Wei Qiqi stepped forward and tentatively put his hand into the water.

The water looked shallow, but I couldn't feel the bottom when I put my hand in it. Looking around, I saw a branch about one meter long on the gravel ground not far away. Ye Yuanxin knew how to read people's eyes, and when Wei Qiqi's eyes fell on the branch, he had already walked over to get it back for her.

Take the branch, pinch the top and then plunge it into the water until the water covers the middle of the branch, then slowly continue to press down.

In the end, the branch was completely submerged in the water, and half of Wei Qiqi's arm was also in the water before he finally touched the bottom.

Wei Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the branch.

It's about one and a half meters deep.

enough.

Wei Qiqi followed the river and looked towards the place he had just come from.

The terrain is slightly flat, so it should be possible to divert water here.

She planned to divert part of the water from the creek to the fields to save a lot of manpower and resources.

Moreover, when the water flows in and slowly seeps into the land, it will better nourish the surrounding soil.

She thought for a moment and spoke her words carefully.

"I plan to dig from this side all the way to this side, and dig a water hole of this width in the middle to lead the water to the fields. What do you think?"

Wei Qiqi felt that it was impossible for her to take care of everything and get everything she wanted, nor did she think she would never make mistakes. She wanted to discuss everything with others.

So I can have a comparison.

Don't act on your own and waste time.

Yang Qingbai thought about Wei Qiqi's words, his eyes slowly lit up, with an indescribable excitement in his eyes.

How come he didn't think of such a simple truth?

"can."

As soon as he agreed, Yang Qingbai immediately thought of the person who dug the pit.

"It's just that the logistics staff are all doing their own jobs, so I'm afraid there won't be many people who can come and help."

There is some truth in what he said.

Wei Qiqi thought about how busy everyone in the logistics department was, and her mind turned.

"I will pull the strong man back for you. The problem now is to determine the route. Find someone to mark the line I drew with a conspicuous and easy-to-see sign."

Yang Qingbai inexplicably sensed some ill intention on Wei Qiqi's face.

He replied: "Okay, I'll find someone to do it later."

After getting the agreement, Wei Qiqi turned around again, avoiding the slightly higher place, and slowly drew a line with a branch.

The line looked very faint, but Yang Qingbai immediately took out a branch and traced it again to deepen his impression.

The people behind naturally heard this as well, and hope immediately rose in their hearts.

After all, carrying water is really hard work, and they can't hold on any longer.

Seeing that the marks drawn by their own family members were not very deep, some people spontaneously began to pick up stones and branches from the surrounding area and press them on the lines drawn by Yang Qingbai and Wei Qiqi.

After drawing the line, Wei Qiqi left the back mountain first and headed towards the middle of the mountain.

The shouts from the hillside continued, each one more deafening than the last.

Li Yuan has strong action and execution capabilities.

Be cruel to others and even crueler to yourself. This is basically how these people were trained. Li Yuan trained with them.

Some people who are resentful are unable to say anything.

When Wei Qiqi appeared halfway up the mountain, Li Yuan was scolding the three people he had pulled out.

"On the battlefield, being so careless will get you killed. You will drag down your brothers and others!"

Those people looked a little embarrassed because they were dragged out in public.

"Careless, lazy, and full of scumbags!"

Li Yuan was quite disappointed. He knew better than anyone that the better the skills one had, the greater the chance of surviving on the battlefield.

These people’s lives cannot be lost so lightly due to one’s own carelessness.

"If you hadn't met me, you would have died once due to your carelessness. Why do you still want to die for real?"

Wei Qiqi walked closer, and Li Yuan saw him as soon as he raised his eyes. He couldn't bring himself to scold these people.

Without giving any lecture, he just walked past these people and stopped in front of Wei Qiqi.

"Qiniang."

Li Yuan bowed slightly towards Wei Qiqi.

"What's going on? Take them out individually." Wei Qiqi looked at the people who were pulled out with a smile on his face, his eyes mysterious.

"I was singled out for being lazy during training."

Few people under Li Yuan dared to be lazy. The consequence of being lazy basically meant repeating the previous day's training, and they could rest when they were done.

However, these people were young and did not understand Li Yuan's good intentions. They just felt that they could not adapt to the arduous training at all and wanted to slack off.

Who would have thought that Li Yuan would catch him at this moment.

Wei Qiqi's eyes fell on these young men who were older than Li Yuan but were scolded by Li Yuan so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads. The smile on the corners of her mouth grew bigger and bigger.

"Qiniang, are you here for something?"

Li Yuan glanced at Wei Qiqi's clothes and found that the bottom of her skirt was covered with mud and dust, making it a little gray, and there was a small wet spot on the cuff.

"I'll borrow a few of your men to help me."

Wei Qiqi said, but his eyes were on these people.

It's time to put these people to good use.
