In summer, the cicadas chirp incessantly in the trees.
Wang Miaomiao stood under the tree, her face showing a bit of beauty and determination in the half-light and half-darkness.
Lin Xiucai was in a daze when he saw this. This little girl was still a chubby child a few years ago, playing with other children in the village, but now she has become an adult in the blink of an eye.
"Miao girl, what do you want from me?" He walked over and said in a gentle voice with a smile.
Wang Miaomiao bowed, then pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Lin, our village has been suffering from drought for months. I wanted to ask you if there is any way to save the farmland in the village?"
She stated her purpose directly.
When Mr. Lin heard this question, surprise flashed in his eyes. He then looked at her and said thoughtfully, "Droughts are caused by the weather. Although I know a few words, I am powerless to change the weather. Miao girl, your question is really difficult for me."
There was a hint of sigh in these words.
Wang Miaomiao was not discouraged by this. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, I know that the weather cannot be changed by human power. What I want is to save the farmland in the village, not to make it rain."
Lin Xiucai heard something else from her words, frowned and chuckled, "Miao girl, do you have any ideas?"
As soon as he said this, he secretly sighed that he was overthinking it. What could a young girl do? He thought he had studied for more than ten years and still had no idea.
Mr. Lin's mood was fluctuating for a while. On the one hand, he was doubtful, and on the other hand, he had some faint hope.
There was a look of confusion in his eyes, but his facial expression did not change.
Wang Miaomiao listened to the concern in Mr. Lin's words and raised her eyes earnestly, "Mr. Lin, the fields in the village are cracked and dry because of a lack of water. That's why I took the liberty of coming to you today to ask if you've seen any books on how to make something that can divert water?"
"Something that draws water?" Lin Xiucai was a clever man. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Miao girl, do you have an idea about the thing that draws water?"
Wang Miaomiao smiled and lowered her eyes, saying, "Mr. Lin, I've heard there's a waterwheel that can bring water to the fields without human effort. If the village had one, it would help alleviate the drought."
When Mr. Lin heard this, he felt a little hopeful. Unfortunately, he had no knowledge of the manufacture of such artifacts. He pondered and said, "Miao girl, please wait a few days for this matter."
Wang Miaomiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, which meant that this thing was feasible.
"Yes, thank you very much, sir." She bowed and thanked him.
Mr. Lin's agreement to do this was undoubtedly free help. His family had no arable land in the village, and this matter had nothing to do with him, so Wang Miaomiao expressed her gratitude.
She thanked Mr. Lin for his kindness on behalf of the villagers.
Lin Xiucai's frown relaxed a little, and he smiled at her, "You are always very clever, sir. I am not completely sure about your ability, so I don't deserve your thanks now."
Wang Miaomiao raised the corners of her lips slightly and said in a clear voice: "Sir, you are kind and righteous. Whether this matter succeeds or not, it is worth it."
When Mr. Lin heard this, he smiled helplessly. He was being framed by this girl.
After saying this, Wang Miaomiao didn't stay long and said goodbye to Lin Xiucai and left the village school.
She did not go home, but strolled to the mountain stream, sat cross-legged on the blue stone, and practiced the Green Water Technique while listening to the sound of the stream.
After more than a year of practice, the Green Water Technique has reached the sixth level.
It's just not enough!
These recent events have made her feel a sense of calm before a storm. Not to mention the epidemic a few years later, even the sudden appearance of looting bandits in recent days, every bit of her fighting power means a bit more confidence.
After all, Dashi Village is not far from Dahe Village.
…
The next day.
At noon, Wang Yi returned home from the village school.
In the courtyard, while the family was having dinner, he said to Wang Miaomiao, "Little sister, Mr. Lin asked me to let you know that he wants you to go to his house to look for him this afternoon."
When he said this, there was a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He was obviously curious about how Mr. Lin got in touch with his sister.
Wang Miaomiao took a bite of the steamed bun and nodded to show that she understood.
Old Man Wang next to him asked, "Miao Miao, what does Mr. Lin want to see you about?"
She swallowed the food in her mouth and said lightly: "I asked Mr. Lin a question before. I think Mr. Lin has the answer now."
Li reminded her, "Miao Miao, remember to be polite when you go to Mr. Lin's house."
Wang Miaomiao nodded and said with a smile, "Mom, I understand."
After dinner, Old Man Wang took Wang Yi to the fields to look after the crops. Mrs. Li got up to clean up the dishes, and the family members were busy with their own things.
Wang Miaomiao's original habit was to go back to her room for a nap, but when she heard the news from Mr. Lin, she got up without delay and went straight to Lin's house.
The sun is high in the sky.
At this time, it was the hottest time of the day. Although Wang Miaomiao was not afraid of the high temperature because of her internal strength, she still chose to walk under the shade of trees when walking on the road.
at the same time.
In the Lin family courtyard, Mr. Lin was standing in the courtyard talking to his son Lin Yu.
Lin Yu, dressed in a green cloth robe, said in a gentle voice, "Father, shall we set off now?"
"No, I'm waiting for someone else." Lin Xiucai said with a smile, his hands clasped behind his back. Just as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door. "Maybe that person has arrived. Yu'er, go open the door."
A look of doubt flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and he turned around to open the door.
"It's you." He was a little surprised to see the neatly dressed heroic girl outside the door.
Wang Miaomiao said politely, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you."
Lin Yu reacted after hearing what she said and moved aside to let her into the yard.
Wang Miaomiao stepped into the Lin family courtyard upon seeing this. When she saw Mr. Lin standing in the courtyard, smiling at her, she bowed and said, "Mr. Lin, you asked my brother to bring a message. Is there any news?"
Lin Xiucai said in a gentle voice, "Miao girl, there has been some progress on this matter. Let's go to the town together today and discuss it in detail."
Wang Miaomiao naturally agreed.
Mr. Lin hired an ox cart and waited at the village entrance. After the three people came and got on the cart, he set off slowly.
The mountain road was bumpy all the way.
Lin Xiucai and Wang Miaomiao were fine in the car, but Lin Yu looked pale. When they passed an uneven area, the car body shook and Lin Yu was almost thrown out of the car.
"careful."
Wang Miaomiao was quick to pull back Lin Yu, who had half fallen out of the car, and spoke.
Lin Yu's clear eyes looked a little distracted, his dark eyebrows slightly furrowed. After being pulled back and sitting steadily, he said softly, "Thank you."
There was a hint of weakness in the clear voice.
Seeing this, Wang Miaomiao nodded her chin, smiled and said nothing.
After this incident, the ox cart no longer had any bumps in its path. The road was flat and it moved much faster. When it raised its head, it had arrived at the gate of the Qingshi Town Tower.
The driver drove the cart into the building and stopped at the street: "We're here."
The three of them got off the bus and stood still.
Lin Xiucai was in front, Wang Miaomiao and Lin Yu were behind, and they walked along the street for a while before arriving in front of a rather prominent house in the town.
Wang Miaomiao followed him into the mansion and took a look at the door plaque.
The words "Jinfu" sparkle in the sun.
