Because they came to Demon Realm a day in advance, Chi Sui took Ellie and Mary to put the seasonings in place, and then gathered in the kitchen to study the cooking process for the next day.
Of course, Prime Minister Turtle also transported vegetables and other things over.
Make some preparations that need to be done in advance, it is already dark.
Since there is only one banquet, which is tomorrow night, Chi Sui and the other two are not under much pressure.
As the sky grew darker, they had to get up early to prepare for the next day, so Chi Sui chased after Prime Minister Gui to ask where they were staying that night.
Prime Minister Turtle twisted his fingers, his expression somewhat serious: "You will stay in the castle tonight, but... my prince doesn't like noise, so you must not make any noise at night."
"By the way, don't go near the lake behind the castle between 9 and 11 pm."
Chi Sui nodded and then asked, "Actually, if we're worried about offending the Demon King, we can live in a stone house with the monsters."
Ellie and Mary nodded rapidly.
Prime Minister Turtle sighed, "I'm not trying to embarrass you, but stone houses are in short supply right now. Most monsters sleep outdoors, so we've left all the stone houses for the little ones to live in. But there are so many little ones, there simply aren't enough houses."
"So I have to inconvenience you three and ask you to stay in the castle for the time being."
Chi Sui didn't say much and expressed his understanding.
The place where they lived was cleaned and tidied by Prime Minister Turtle himself. It was in a castle next to the banquet hall. It had five floors, with four rooms on each floor. The room was very large, and you could see the misty lake surface when you opened the window.
The room is similar to a suite, with three bedrooms and a dedicated bathroom.
Chi Sui was very interested in this bathing room.
The bathroom is connected to the balcony, which is about 3 meters wide and 8 meters long. There is a frosted glass sliding door between the balcony and the bathroom that can be slid open and closed.
The door can be locked from the inside, and the frosted glass is foggy, so you can't see what's going on in the bathroom from outside the balcony.
What amazed Chi Sui the most was that there was a gap in the middle of the balcony fence, where stood an iron water pump.
Yes, it's a water pump.
Chi Sui was stunned. She had seen this kind of water pump used in rural wells when she was very young. As long as she pressed the metal arm down, water would flow out of the metal faucet. By pressing continuously, water could be pumped out continuously.
But... this is the third floor.
Chi Sui leaned out of the balcony and looked down, but did not see any well on the ground.
Next to the water pump on the balcony, there is a pipe that can be connected to the faucet of the water pump.
Then take the other end of the pipe and place it into the wooden barrel in the bathroom, so that you can pump water into the bathtub even in a high building.
This made Chi Sui eager to know how this was done.
She looked at the exceptionally bright moon in the sky, picked up a lantern and ran downstairs.
Ellie tried to catch up with her, but she stopped her with a wave of her hand.
Chi Sui ran down the empty stone stairs until he reached the bottom of the castle, directly below the balcony on the third floor of their residence.
When I squatted down and looked, I found that there was a well below, but this well was not round, but a rectangular one.
The upper end is covered by stone slabs, leaving only a row of tightly fitting round openings.
The round opening is reserved for the round metal pipe. Every room’s balcony has a metal pipe that goes straight to the bottom of the water pump on the balcony.
That is to say, one room, one water pump, one water pump, and one pipeline.
Below the castle is a rectangular well that is more than 20 meters long and less than one meter wide.
But this was a little unbelievable. She knew that a water pump probably relied on vacuum and pressure to pump water, but this pumping pipe was too long.
For example, the room they lived in was about thirteen meters from the well to the third floor.
Chi Sui is a very stubborn person at heart. Once he finds something that interests him, he will not give up until he understands and learns it.
Thinking of this, Chi Sui squatted down, put the oil lamp aside, and tried to pry up the stone slab above the well.
Unfortunately, it can't be pried open at all.
Chi Sui was so curious that he scratched his head and kept touching the pipes.
Before I knew it, I had been squatting downstairs until 9 o'clock.
Just as she tried to pry the stone slab again, a hand reached out.
The hand was long and strong, with distinct joints, and the nails and knuckles were pink.
It is a pair of very beautiful hands, but at the same time with a sense of strength.
The black sleeves dropped down, and the hands lifted up the entire stone slab with just two fingers.
Chi Sui turned around and saw the devil's face, which was particularly beautiful under the moonlight.
"What on earth does the Baroness want to do by squatting here for so long?"
Chi Sui was stunned, his eyes gleaming: "I want to study this water pump!"
"This is absolutely amazing! It's so ingenious!"
Chi Sui gestured with his fingers. "Look, this pipe is very long. Logically speaking, if we don't use electricity and magic, the entire water pumping system needs to be very precise in order to run smoothly!"
Chi Sui was beaming with joy. She was not afraid of this cold-looking devil at all. Instead, she became more and more excited as she spoke. In the end, she even rolled up her sleeves and stuck her upper body into the well.
She turned to Long Xi and said, "Well, I want to touch the pipe in the well and observe it at the same time, is that okay?"
Long Xi looked at the light in her eyes, hummed, and simply stood by to see what she would do.
Then.
puff
Long Xi's eye twitched. Chi Sui had actually put half of his body into the well, leaving only two exceptionally strong feet hooked on the pipe.
Once the force on her instep was released, her whole body would fall headfirst into the well.
Long Xi silently turned his eyes away. To be honest, since he came to this world, he rarely met such a sick person.
snap
The slippers on the white and slender feet flew far away, and the feet that were originally hooked on the pipe began to twitch. The instep loosened, and Chi Sui slid into the well smoothly like a fish into water.
Just as his two feet were about to sink into the water, a big hand instantly grabbed his two ankles.
The moist and delicate touch under his hand made Long Xi feel a little uncomfortable.
He stood up and lifted Chi Sui out of the well with one hand.
His long hair fell to the ground, and Chi Sui was held upside down and started coughing violently.
Long Xi frowned, picked up Chi Sui's ankle and shook it, and the upside-down man suddenly spat out a mouthful of water.
Paji
Chi Sui was thrown to the ground casually.
The ground was covered with water stains, and Chi Sui's feet were still twisting and twitching abnormally.
She suddenly cried out, curling up her knees: "Oh my god... I have a cramp... cramp..."
Long Xi watched coldly until Chi Sui got up, held onto the pipe, stepped on the ground with both feet, and stretched his legs hard. After a long time, the cramps finally eased.
Under the moonlight, the big hand lay in front of Chi Sui.
Long Xi spit out a few words ruthlessly and coldly: "I saved you, give me gold."
