Travel through the little peasant girl and go farming with the trading system

Chapter 43 The County Magistrate’s Banquet

When Su Ying heard about this, she was worried, but she thought that there must be many people busy with the county magistrate's wife, and Mr. Qi also rushed over to help, so she thought that the matter might not be as bad as she thought.

She originally wanted to return her raincoat and hat to Mr. Qi's people and go home, but she saw that her clothes were still wet and it was difficult to take them off, so she said hello to Mr. Qi's people, put on her clothes and found a man who was easy to take off.

The shortcut for stepping down slipped.

Before returning to her uncle's house, she did not forget the girl in the wooden house. She planned to ask the villagers where she lived and send her home, but she did not expect that there was no one in the wooden house.

It seems that her family saw that the rain was too heavy and the girl did not go home, so they came out to take her back after the rain stopped.

She walked back quickly and easily. Many villagers gathered not far away. The people who were crying bitterly just now were staring blankly at the bamboo pipes on the ground that extended to the dam, and the water level visible to the naked eye.

The farmland, whose speed was decreasing, was extremely shocked for a moment.

"This, this, this... is really amazing. Can the water go up?"

"Unheard of, unheard of!"

"The county magistrate must have governed the people with benevolence and influenced the world, so he allowed the water to flow upstream to benefit our people!"

"Yes, the magistrate has governed the people with benevolence and has influenced the world. We, the people, would like to thank the magistrate very much."

After he finished speaking, more people responded and knelt down to thank the magistrate.

Su Ying didn't give any explanation, just smiled and walked around these people and left.

Li Fujun, An's Su Juan, and Su Mo saw that she hadn't come back for a long time, so they took their coir raincoat and hat soldiers and went in two directions to look for her, but they didn't expect that Su Ying came back wearing a coir raincoat.

Seeing her dressed like this, the family members were shocked and quickly took her back to the house.

After taking off her clothes, An was startled by the wet look. She quickly found clean clothes for her to put on, and also made her some ginger soup to prevent her from catching the cold.

While drinking ginger soup, Su Juan took her and muttered, complaining that she shouldn't have gone out to play for so long, and asked her who kindly gave her the raincoat.

Su Ying held the hot bowl, smiled, and said she was a worker on the dam.

She didn't mention Mr. Qi because she was afraid that they would think too much about it. Besides, Mr. Qi was so busy, so if she mentioned it to them, she would have to worry about giving him gifts again.

It's better to say that the people on the dam are better. It's the same thing when Tianqing gives them the clothes and asks them to return them to Mr. Qi.

The family members did not think much about these words, but they still suggested that she should wait until the weather cleared to thank them properly. Su Ying nodded in agreement.

Just now, Li Fujun was busy looking for Su Ying and didn't go to the fields to see much. Now that Su Ying was found, he went there anxiously, fearing that the rain just now would wash away the seedlings in the fields.

An's family was also waiting for news from him. Although their family only had a few acres of land, they still supported a large family. If it was flooded, their family would have to suffer from the northwest wind.

When Li Fujun came back, his family members gathered around and asked how the farmland was doing.

Li Fujun had a look of danger and fear on his face, "God bless me, a corner of the dam collapsed and all the water flowed into the farmland. But I don't know who came up with the idea to connect the bamboo pipes and stretch them into the water. The water

It flows into the dam again, but it’s mysterious!”

"Ah? Such a wonderful thing? How did you do it? By the way, are our fields okay?" An asked in surprise.

"It's okay. That little pipe sucked away the water in the farmland in less than an hour. Most of the seedlings can be rescued. Although there are still a few puddles in the field, it doesn't matter.

People say that the county magistrate moved heaven and earth with his benevolence in governing the people, so he allowed the water to flow backwards. I think there is some truth in this."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. An breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bowed to various Bodhisattvas, and then expressed her gratitude to the county magistrate.

Su Ying smiled and wanted to say that it was actually the principle of siphoning. It uses gas pressure to attract water from lower places to higher places. It is simple and labor-saving.

But she didn't say this. If she had, it might have aroused their suspicion. How could she know the words "siphon principle"? After all, even the scholars here may not know this modern word.

After staying at home for another two days, when the weather cleared up, Su Ying took Su Juan to the east end of the village to return the raincoat and hat, and to see if the girl was still there.

In the past two days, she had asked Li Fujun and An about the girl, but neither of them had heard of a girl in the village who could neither hear nor speak. This made Su Ying a little confused, since the girl was not Nan.

He was from Yuancun, which village he was from, and how could he be playing in that place?

After Su Ying and Su Juan passed by, the girl was playing there again. As soon as she saw Su Ying, she immediately ran over and circled next to her.

She also tugged at Su Juan's clothes from time to time. Su Juan noticed her strangeness and felt pity, so she couldn't help but pay more attention to her.

Su Ying knew sign language and taught the girl how to demonstrate "sister"'s sign language. When Su Juan saw this, she asked her what she was making with her hands. Su Ying covered her mouth and smiled and said she made it up, which left Su Juan speechless.

Qi Mohan saw the two sisters coming on the dam. Seeing Su Ying teaching his sister to call her sister, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and burst into laughter.

Thinking of something, he flew down.

When Su Ying and Su Juan saw Qi Mohan, they immediately became serious. Su Ying quickly returned the coir raincoat and hat she brought to him.

Qi Mohan took it and said with a smile in his eyes, "Thank you so much for that day. If it weren't for your idea, I'm afraid the people's farmland would have been destroyed!"

When Su Ying heard him mention this, thinking that Su Juan was beside her, she quickly shook her head and said, "It's just bringing the things in the book to show off. By the way, has the county magistrate's wife been found? Nothing happened, right?"

Qi Mohan shook his head, "No, she was rescued and rested in the government office for two days. She is already well. By the way, the county magistrate heard about your deeds and wanted to invite you to a banquet in the county government office. I don't know if it's possible.

Reward for face?"

He stared at her intently, with a smile on his lips, like a spring breeze.

Su Ying was startled by these words, "Would you like to treat me to a banquet?"

"To be precise, there are others. If you feel uncomfortable, how about the magistrate and I entertain you again another day?"

Qi Mohan solemnly extended an invitation to her.

Su Ying scratched her head. Since it was a banquet, she couldn't do anything special. Let others treat her alone. They were all ordinary people, so they couldn't be too embarrassed.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll go there then. That's right. I'm really not comfortable alone. Can I bring my family with me?"

"Okay, let's go together and make it lively. The main thing is to thank you. Just don't be formal!"

Qi Mohan's smile was warm and very comforting.

Su Ying's eyes curled up and she thanked her profusely, "Thank you so much, Mr. Qi."

"You're welcome, remember to come the day after tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned around and used Qinggong to climb up the dam.

Su Juan heard the conversation between the two and immediately looked at her with something wrong, "A lot happened that day. There seems to be someone else who lent you clothes!"

Su Ying turned around in fear and stepped back step by step.

Su Juan did not let her go, and tickled her to make her tell the truth about what happened that day. Su Ying was so scared that she quickly dodge.

The two sisters were playing and playing, and the girl on the side also joined in. The man on the dam looked at this peaceful scene, his handsome face filled with spring breeze.
