The team was not discovered by the enemy, and all project progress was according to plan.
Some small changes are that some servants have gradually become unable to bear such high-intensity labor, and the progress of the project has slowed down a lot.
General Lou also lost his initial patience and had no good temper towards his servants. Anyone who tried to be lazy would receive a severe beating from him.
General Lou was also anxious. As time passed, the problems that Xia Shang was worried about were also exposed. Even General Lou could see that if the progress was not accelerated, the river water would not be enough to cause a flash flood.
General Lou's actions also caused a lot of commotion, but under Xiao Keer's comfort, the servants resumed their daily work.
Xia Shangze was still thinking about the big problem that had troubled him for many days.
As time passed day by day, the weather kept getting sunny without even a trace of rain.
Three days...
Four days…
Five days…
The only sound that surrounded everyone was the sound of the stream, and the river disappeared. Even if the canal was opened, no water would flow into the valley.
"Miss, we quit! The water here is gone, so what's the use of opening up the canal?"
"It's just that we have worked for so many days, and it's all in vain."
Several servants secretly ran to Xiao Keer to protest, and finally even the servants saw the root of the problem.
Xiao Keer was very calm and shouted to several people: "You only need to complete your tasks, and you don't need to think about other things. Although the water is gone now, there will definitely be a heavy rain here in a few days. You are done
After completing their own mission, everyone is a hero of Xuzhou City!"
"Miss, we don't think it's going to rain heavily today. At least there won't be any sign of rain for the next ten days or so."
"Whoever dares to talk nonsense will be handed over to General Lou. Shaking the morale of the army is a capital crime!"
This sentence frightened several servants so much that they stopped saying it.
"Also, let me tell you! Mr. Xia has already calculated that there will definitely be a heavy rain today, and it will be when your canal is completed."
The servants did not have so many doubts. When they heard that it was Master Xia's calculation, they were all confident and were still communicating with each other.
"What did I tell you? That Mr. Xia is definitely not a simple person! Otherwise, how could he
Is it possible to become a high official? Now you know? I know how to calculate. When it will rain, it has already been planned by the court."
"Oh, I really didn't expect to meet such a capable person. This time I have experienced it."
The simple conversation reached Xia Shang's ears, because Xiao Keer always appeared not far from Xia Shang.
Xiao Keer silently paid attention to Xia Shang, but did not dare to disturb him.
These words invisibly added more pressure to Xia Shang.
After so long, Xia Shang has no way out, and the time spent is also a cost. He must come up with a solution, otherwise he will destroy Xuzhou from the side and become the sinner of Dahua.
Six days…
seven days...
eight days……
Nine days...
tenth day!
"Okay! It's finally finished!"
"Hahaha! It's finally done!"
"We're finally done!"
Cheers came from the team, but everyone was restrained for fear that the noise here would spread to the other side of the hill.
It took more than 100 people ten days to open a canal more than 1,000 meters long.
The most difficult part was even digging half of a hill, with a vertical distance of twenty meters. Three servants even died during the excavation process.
This kind of waterway is not a miracle of mankind, but it can be regarded as a hard work that pays off.
Before starting the work, even half of the people didn't think they could complete such a task. Now they have finally overcome many difficulties. After ten days of hard life, eating raw fish, grass roots, wild vegetables, and no fire, God has provided
The quilt is used as a bed...
It’s finally done!
As long as Xia Shang gives an order and everyone works together to open up the last few meters of soil connecting the river, the entire canal will be connected into one.
But……
The big river turned into a creek, and there was very little water visible in front of us.
It doesn't matter, because everyone knows that it will rain when the excavation is completed, and it will be a heavy rain, which will soon form a huge flash flood!
Even General Lou and Qin Yuan had heard about it, and all these were concluded after Mr. Xia's calculations.
Now the waterways have been completed, but when will the heavy rain fall?
Look at the sky, the situation is thousands of miles away, the warm sun is melting, and the sky and the earth are full of life. If it weren't for the cold wind blowing again,
Everyone who saw this scene probably thought that winter was over.
"Master Xia, the waterway has been completed. I wonder when it will rain?"
General Lou ran to Xia Shang with a happy face, as if he was asking for credit and waiting for Sir Xia to praise him.
Unexpectedly, Xia Shang's face looked very bad now, his eyes were extremely red and swollen, and he looked indescribably tired.
"Master Xia, you...what's wrong with you?"
General Lou had been urging everyone to do their work and had not noticed Xia Shang's situation at all.
This time, Xia Shang was really stumped and he couldn't think of a way!
After ten days, I still haven’t found a solution!
General Lou's question completely plunged Xia Shang into despair, and the emotions that had been pent up for ten days burst out uncontrollably.
"No rain! There won't be any rain for the next month!"
Xia Shang roared loudly, and everyone around him could hear it clearly!
In an instant, the cheers stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Even General Lou became gloomy and asked in a low voice: "Sir, now is not the time to joke."
"I'm not kidding you, I'm not kidding you!"
General Lou's eyes widened: "You were the one who said it was raining! We worked hard here for ten days, and three people died! I thought you were always thinking of a solution, but now you tell us there is no rain!"
"When did I say it would rain? When did I say it would rain!"
Xia Shang broke out and roared crazily at General Lou!
At this time, General Lou no longer cared about his superiors and subordinates. He couldn't describe his feelings. He felt cheated and couldn't even feel hope. The huge gap between before and after was also a strong impact on his heart.
General Lou grabbed Xia Shang by the collar and raised his hand to hit him.
Before General Lou could take action, Fusheng suddenly appeared between the two of them, looked at General Lou coldly, lowered his head and asked, "Do you want to die?"
Fu Sheng's appearance was like a bucket of cold water poured on General Lou's head. He knew how powerful this person was. His back was soaked with cold sweat. He took two steps back in fear, not knowing what to say.
.
At this time, Xiao Keer walked up to the crowd crying and said loudly to everyone: "I lied to you... Mr. Xia said there would be no rain, but I gave you hope... I'm sorry..."
Saying that, the little girl knelt on the ground weakly...
