Everyone knows about building a canal to divert water from the waterfall above.
These days, I can see them busy every day when I work.
But when we heard that it was really successful and would be officially released tomorrow, everyone was still very excited.
Did this solve our decades-long water shortage problem? In just a few days?
So when the day came for the official release of water, almost everyone in the county came, even many elderly people came with sticks.
"Look, when you need water for irrigation, just send someone to remove this raised stone and then point the bamboo pipe next to it towards the pond."
The villagers who joined in the construction put the pipes up, and Zhao Jun explained from the side so that everyone could hear.
"Look, everyone, the water is already flowing down the pipe."
A group of people walked down slowly, but the water flowed quickly and filled the bamboo tubes.
"This is the terraced field of Dajun's family. When you want to water it, just peel off this piece of bamboo skin and see, the water will flow out."
Zhao Jun has experimented with these perfectly many times, but this is the first time everyone has seen it, and they are all amazed.
After that, everyone slowly walked down each step, and the entire terrace was covered, and the irrigation problem was completely solved.
"From now on, if you need water at home, just move the stone above and stand here. This is the last bamboo pipe. Just collect the water here."
Mr. Zhao left a bamboo pipe at the bottom of the terrace for them to collect water.
"That's great. Then I don't have to go so far to pick it next time."
"I didn't expect it to be successful. You are truly an amazing person."
"I'll go home and get the bucket later and fill the water tank."
There was a crowd of people on the terraced fields, and everyone was talking excitedly.
Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief, quietly left the crowd and walked back.
Qingliu and County Magistrate Tan were already with her, so they followed her.
"Sir, now that everything is resolved, you can relax and have a good rest."
Zhao Jun has rarely had any free time these days. Even when he is resting, he has to come to guide and supervise the work. He has lost weight and become a little darker.
Qingliu saw it all and felt very distressed.
"Yeah, it's all settled. It's time to have a good rest."
As she said this she yawned again.
"By the way, Magistrate Tan, I have a few more words of advice for you regarding the bamboo pipes. Although each one is now securely fastened, they need to be checked regularly. They might become loose, which could affect the water flow. Also, I'm not sure of the lifespan of the bamboo pipes. If they become unusable later on, you can have someone cut some new ones and replace them."
Her eyes were hazy but she still reminded him.
"I understand. I will definitely check regularly. My Lord, you should go and rest first."
Tan Ben nodded in agreement, and Zhao Jun went back to rest without saying anything more.
Now that the problem in his heart had been completely resolved, Zhao Jun felt completely relaxed.
After falling asleep, she fell ill.
It was Qingliu who discovered it first.
Zhao Jun rested in the afternoon, but he didn't wake up until the next morning.
Qingliu lived in the same room with her, so she went to touch him, and found that Zhao Jun's forehead was burning hot.
This is a fever.
Qingliu was anxious at that time. He ran out quickly to tell the county magistrate Tan about the matter and called the county doctor.
At this time, Zhao Jun was sleeping in a daze and didn't know that he had a fever. He just felt a little unable to wake up.
Tan Ben was also very anxious because this happened in his area.
Fortunately, the doctor came over quickly to treat Zhao Jun.
"My lord, you're fine. You just have a low fever, probably from overwork. I'll prescribe two doses of medicine. After that, you should be fine after some more rest."
The old doctor was old and had a white beard. He breathed a sigh of relief after taking the patient's pulse tremblingly. It was not a big deal.
"Then please prescribe the medicine quickly and I will prepare it right away."
Qingliu felt a little relieved when he heard this.
It’s good that it’s nothing serious, but you still have to reduce the fever as soon as possible.
Afterwards, according to the doctor's prescription, Qingliu quickly boiled the medicine and gave it to Zhao Jun to take.
At this time, Zhao Jun was confused and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"Qingliu, my fever has subsided. I don't need to take the medicine anymore."
A day later, Zhao Jun woke up and his fever subsided a lot.
She was already tired this time, and after taking two doses of Chinese medicine she was almost recovered.
"No, the doctor said you have to take the full four doses. There are still two doses left. Even if you temporarily retreat, you can't be careless."
Qingliu spoke in a serious tone, not looking at Zhao Jun's pitiful eyes.
It’s no wonder that Zhao Jun was afraid. It’s just that Chinese medicine nowadays is too bitter, really too bitter.
There wasn't even any sugar to cushion the pain, so she felt dizzy when she drank the first dose, but it was okay.
But she drank the second dose while sober and almost vomited.
When she thought about the two more times to come, she felt hopeless.
"Sir, I know it's painful, please bear with me for the last two doses."
Qingliu knew it was bitter, but he had to drink it for his health.
"Well, how's the terraced field thing going? How about I go around the fields again and see if the water is flowing."
Zhao Jun wanted to get out of bed and hide.
But she was not as fast as Qingliu, and was pushed back by Qingliu before her feet even touched the ground.
"The doctor said you must rest and recuperate. You don't have to worry about the farm matters. The county magistrate is here. Besides, there's nothing wrong, so don't worry."
"Okay, it's time for the third dose of medicine. I'll make it for you right away."
