Seeing that Meng Tong's breathing was steady and she didn't seem to be unwell, Lu Chuan concealed the worry in his eyes and reached out to take the watermelon.

Sitting down next to Meng Tong on her left, Lu Chuan ate watermelon and asked Meng Tong, "What are your plans for this space that's been vacated today, my wife?"

"Let's continue planting rice and wheat!"

Meng Tong returned.

"Should I till the soil a bit?"

"No need," Meng Tong replied. "I want to try sowing the seeds directly to see if they can grow normally."

"Yeah... that's okay."

Lu Chuan thought about the situation in the field. Although a crop had already grown, the crops had grown too quickly, and there were still traces of the plowing from a few days ago!

The ground isn't particularly hardened, so if we force it to ripen like this, it probably won't have much of an impact. At most, we might need to draw some water from the waterfall due to weather conditions.

Thinking this, Lu Chuan told Meng Tong the truth. The woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded, saying, "Then we'll solve the water problem first thing tomorrow morning, and then proceed with the sowing."

"okay."

Lu Chuan nodded.

……

The next day, before sunrise, Meng Tong and Lu Chuan got up.

After a quick wash and change into some comfortable clothes, the two left the courtyard.

Lu Chuan carried a basket on his back, which contained some tools he would need later.

Holding Meng Tong's hand in his right, the two first arrived at the bottom of the waterfall, where a damp air wafted towards them, carrying a cool chill.

Lu Chuan found a dry, spacious stone slab for Meng Tong to sit on, then rolled up his sleeves and took out a hammer and other items from his basket.

Although the pond was not far from where they planted their crops, a protruding rock blocked the flow of water into the ground, which is why the water in the pond did not flow into the ground.

Lu Chuan's primary task was to drill a hole large enough to fit a water pipe through the rock, so that he could simply turn on the water pipe when he wanted to use water. If he just roughly chiseled the rock open, the ground would inevitably be flooded.

Lu Chuan took out a black iron rod about half a meter long, found the spot on the rock where he wanted to drill a hole, and then struck the iron rod with a hammer.

This stone did not break despite being subjected to the impact of ice water for many years, which shows its hardness.

Meng Tong sat to the side watching him hammer and tinker for a long time, but the iron rod didn't change at all.

With her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Meng Tong stood up and walked towards Lu Chuan. The man, who was swinging a hammer, quickly stopped when he saw Meng Tong and asked, "What's wrong, my wife?"

"It's alright, I just found something in the artifact that should be able to help you."

"What is it?" Lu Chuan asked curiously.

The woman didn't speak, but handed Lu Chuan a small drill and said, "Tighten this handle here and press the tip against the rock; it will drill a hole by itself."

"That's amazing, I'll give it a try."

Lu Chuan was eager to try it out, looking at the object in his hand with great interest.

Following Meng Tong's instructions, Lu Chuan placed the drill on the rock, and it immediately emitted a "buzzing" sound, while a layer of white powder floated up around it.

"Wife, get out of the way quickly, these stones will fly everywhere."

"Okay." Meng Tong glanced at the drill's speed and was satisfied, then said to Lu Chuan, "Be careful."

Then he sat back down on the stone slab.

The sound of the waterfall drowned out the buzzing of the drill, and within fifteen minutes Lu Chuan saw water flowing out of the stone hole.

However, since the hole was not as thick as the water pipe, Lu Chuan used the drill bit to grind around without any instruction. In just one minute, the water flow became stronger and stronger, enough to plug the water pipe.

What used to take several hours to complete, can be done in about fifteen minutes.

Lu Chuan felt that working with his wife was more efficient.

Lu Chuan stopped the drill, covered in water and stone dust, but he didn't care. He walked over to Meng Tong with a smile, handed her the item, and said, "Wife, the things in this magical tool are really useful."

"Give it to you."

"Really?"

Lu Chuan's dark eyes lit up with surprise. He had indeed had the urge to shamelessly ask his wife for it, but considering that it was something from a divine artifact, Lu Chuan didn't dare to entertain any further thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Meng Tong directly offered to give it to him. Lu Chuan was momentarily unsure whether to refuse or...

He really liked it.

Seeing the man's conflicted expression, Meng Tong appeared and chuckled, "It's nothing valuable. Since I said it's a gift, just take it!"

Anyway, she just saw that Lu Chuan was having a hard time, so she went into her space to look for something she could help with.

Unexpectedly, I found this drill.

She had too many things in her storage space, and if they weren't used, they would just gather dust, so she decided to let him use them where they were needed.

"Then... thank you, my wife."

Lu Chuan carefully wiped the dust off the drill bit, reluctant to put it down, already thinking about what he would use it for.

Meng Tong was just going along with it, never expecting that Lu Chuan would use the drill to make so many unexpected things.

With Meng Tong helping him store the drill, Lu Chuan went to the pond to install water pipes with renewed vigor.

This step is very simple.

Because he was quite skilled at drilling, and the water flow was in a sloping direction, he only needed to forcefully push the water pipe in and secure it.

Within minutes, the water pipe was completely stuffed into the stone hole, and the water flowed straight to the other end through the black pipe.

Meng Tong went over to take a look, and just then, water started flowing out of the pipe. Although it wasn't a particularly large flow, it was enough.

"My lady, have you come out of the water?"

As he walked towards the field, Lu Chuan asked Meng Tong in a gentle voice.

The woman held a black water pipe with one hand, and water flowed out continuously, forming a jet of water.

Meng Tong raised his head to indicate that he should look.

Lu Chuan walked over to Meng Tong in a few steps, looked at the water in the pipe, then swept it around the field before turning to Meng Tong and asking, "Just let it flow on its own like this."

"Well, the water shortage wasn't that serious to begin with, and besides, it's a slope so the water will flow down naturally."

"Then leave it here. I'll come over after lunch and stuff it up."

"it is good."

Lu Chuan took the water pipe from Meng Tong, placed it on the ground, and then led Meng Tong by the right hand towards the yard.

I thought it would take a whole morning or even longer, but it was resolved in less than half an hour.

The sun has only just risen!

Back in the courtyard, Lu Chuan went inside to change his clothes, while Meng Tong went to the kitchen. Seeing the few remaining ingredients on the stove, Meng Tong picked and chose and took out a lot more from her spatial storage.

There are fresh vegetables, meats, fruits, seasonings, and so on.

She's like a mobile restocking refrigerator for the family.
