Chapter 67 Let Onion Come

The Universal Fabricator has gathered all the raw materials.

What Shen Yuexi has to do now is to go home quickly.

She ran home as fast as she could, having finally gotten rid of Yang Cong. She didn't want this thing to appear out of nowhere in front of Yang Cong. It would scare these ancient people.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, she quickly turned around to lock the door, and then responded to Big Bear: "I want it now."

With a "bang".

A simple traction-type well drilling machine appeared in front of her.

The tall rack is made of wood, while the crank and the drill underneath are made of iron. There is no electricity system and it can only be done by hand.

She was amazed at this simple well drilling machine. She didn't expect that even such an ancient thing would be recorded in Big Bear's database.

When she was about to dig a well, she found that there was water source somewhere.

Digging a well is not just about digging somewhere randomly. You need to find a water source close to the ground.

Shen Yuexi searched around the yard. She remembered that she had read relevant records before, about how to find water sources.

One of them is to look at the texture of the ground. Some places may be very dry, but may hide water. Another thing is to look for places where flowers and plants grow vigorously.

The weather in August is still quite hot at noon, and the sun is getting stronger.

There were a few leaves sparsely hanging on the branches, the grass on the ground was curled up, and the cicadas were chirping non-stop, adding an extra layer of trouble to the sultry weather.

Shen Yuexi just kept lying on the ground looking for a suitable place to dig a well. Xiaogang Village is low-lying and sandwiched between two towering mountains, so it should be a place with abundant water.

After almost an hour, she had looked in every corner of the yard, but still found no signs of grass growing. It was all bare.

She stood in the yard, deep in thought. Since the first method didn't work, she could only look for a place with water. The surface of the water-retaining area would be relatively dry, which could lock the water and prevent it from dispersing easily.

But looking at the entire yard, there was no dry spot. It was impossible that just any place was suitable for digging a well.

She paced back and forth in the yard, unable to find a suitable place to dig a well, so she simply found a random spot to drill and try it out.

She did it as soon as she thought of it. She rolled up her sleeves, pulled the drilling rig over with difficulty, and prepared to start drilling.

This hand-cranked drilling rig is not as good as an electric one. Shen Yuexi held the handle and shook it hard. The drill bit of the drilling rig slowly drilled into the ground. She was glad that the drilling rig was operating normally.

After working for an entire hour, I finally got half a meter down...

Shen Yuexi dropped the handle and sat down on the small stool beside her. She shook her hands so hard that they almost peeled off.

This body is really not suitable for doing heavy work.

As soon as Yang Cong entered the door, he saw the drilling rig erected in the yard.

She exclaimed and ran over to look at the well drilling machine.

"Madam Pei, what is this thing? Such a high shelf?"

She remembered that she didn't see this thing before she went out. How come it suddenly appeared, and it could even drill holes in the ground?

Shen Yuexi certainly saw Yang Cong's doubts. She had already thought of a solution and said to her with a smile:

"This is called a well drilling machine. I've read some books about well drilling before. I was bored, so I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, I actually managed to make it. It's just a little hard to drill."

Yang Cong excitedly looked around the well drilling machine, amazed.

If they can really dig a well, then this will be the life-saving straw for their Xiaogang Village.

She asked in surprise, "Madam Pei, with this, can our village's water problem be solved?"

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong jumped up happily.

As long as there is water to drink, at least the villagers don’t have to leave their homes.

"But drilling is very... troublesome and takes a lot of effort." Shen Yuexi rubbed her palms and pointed at the handle. "I'll leave this to you."

She had to rest, this kind of physical work was really not for her. Yang Cong was strong and was just right for this.

Yang Cong happily agreed. This kind of thing was very common to her. She sat beside the well drilling machine and started shaking the handle.

The drill bit rotated rapidly, drilling deeper into the ground.

Shen Yuexi was about to leave when she remembered that she had asked Yang Cong to go out and find out about Xiao Zhuo. She turned back and asked her, "Onion, is there any news from my husband?"

This person has been out for almost a day, why hasn't he come back yet? With Xiao Zhuo's martial arts skills, this shouldn't be the case.

Yang Cong shook his head and said to Shen Yuexi, "Master Pei drove away those Western Rong people and seemed to have led everyone in the village to the mountains."

As for what they were doing, she didn't go up to ask, because the ones who went there were all men from the village, while the women had all returned.

Anyway, the Xirong people have already run away, so nothing will happen.

Seeing the worry on Shen Yuexi's face, she comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam Pei. I saw with my own eyes that Master Pei was leading a group of men from the village towards the mountains."

On the other side of the mountain is Xirong. Shen Yuexi nodded in understanding and decided to go there to block the road.

No wonder the person still hadn't returned when it was almost dark.

But just as she turned around, she saw a man in white clothes coming towards the golden light of the setting sun. The afterglow shone on him, emitting a faint afterglow.

"Husband," Shen Yuexi looked at the newcomer in surprise, "You're back?"

Xiao Zhuo's eyes and brows were filled with a faint smile, and they were sparkling.

He looked at the well in the yard, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing, as if everything was within his expectations.

Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo guiltily. She could fool that silly girl Yang Cong, but facing Xiao Zhuo, she felt that all her explanations were pale and powerless.

She said nonchalantly, "That's a drilling rig I made. There's no water in the village, so I dug a well in the yard."

Perhaps because he had seen Shen Yuexi make things that even flew in the sky, Xiao Zhuo seemed more accustomed to this kind of well-digging.

Yang Cong, who was drilling a well nearby, interrupted and said, "Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei is truly amazing. She can even make something like this. She's even more amazing than those scholars in the city."

In Yang Cong's impression, powerful people are all scholars.

Now that Shen Yuexi can make this kind of thing, and she is a woman, in her opinion, she is more powerful than those scholars and candidates.

She looked at Shen Yuexi with undisguised admiration.

Xiao Zhuo nodded.

"I am very fortunate to have your talent."

His voice was low and deep, lingering in my ears like a whisper.

Shen Yuexi subconsciously touched her ears, tilted her head back, and looked slightly smug.

"That's right," Shen Yuexi said without any modesty, "Just wait and see, my husband. I can make something even more amazing in the future."

Of course, as long as there are enough materials, not to mention this kind of well drilling machine, even a car is not impossible.

Xiao Zhuo looked at the face that exuded confidence, shining brightly in the moonlight.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lady." Xiao Zhuo said with a smile.

Shen Yuexi felt a little embarrassed. What hard work did she have to do? She just had to run around to more places to collect materials, and the rest was done by the universal manufacturing machine.

She turned her head away embarrassedly, not daring to look at Xiao Zhuo's admiring eyes.
