"4601!"
Zhong Muyu shouted, and a ball of light appeared in the air, accompanied by a cold, mechanical voice: "Butler 4601 is at your service."
"Start the incubation room."
She was extremely curious about what kind of place it was. If it was like her previous laboratory... no, it should be even better. At least the technology in this space far surpassed that of her previous world.
"receive."
With a mechanical sound, the surrounding scenery began to rapidly reorganize. Zhong Muyu pushed open the mechanical door in front of him and looked out into a very spacious area.
The display screen on the adjacent shelf provides detailed instructions on how to use the equipment, covering every aspect and detail.
Absolutely amazing!
These two words were the first thing that came to Zhong Muyu's mind.
Here she can plant more things without worrying about invasive species causing a plague.
After planting the last seed, the time displayed on the watch screen was 12 o'clock.
Zhong Muyu stretched and then exited the personal space.
Just then, Granny Zhang walked over.
"Your Highness, so you've been here all along! This old servant has been looking for you!"
"Granny Zhang, is there something you need?"
"What could be wrong? I haven't seen you all morning, and it's already lunchtime!"
If it weren't for Granny Zhang reminding her, she really wouldn't have felt hungry.
Let's eat first; we'll be busy these next few days.
After that, Zhong Muyu went to scout out locations around the village and on the mountain. At the appointed time, the carpenter arrived with his tools.
Looking at the bamboo water pipes on the ground, Zhong Muyu nodded in satisfaction.
The carpenter asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
"It's as good as I imagined, but there are still some shortcomings."
Zhong Muyu asked Zaochun to bring her a toolbox. To avoid constantly pulling out all sorts of strange things from her sleeves, Zhong Muyu stored some commonly used items in a wooden toolbox.
After some modifications, Zhong Muyu, along with the carpenter and Zaochun, and Uncle Zheng, led the four of them to a pool halfway up the mountain to fix the water pipes.
This is the closest pool to their home, with a continuous stream of clear spring water flowing down to form a small waterfall.
After finishing, Uncle Zheng wiped his sweat, but still looked puzzled: "Your Highness, it's not that this old servant doubts, but will this really work?"
"It looks like it's going to work, keep going!"
The four of them carried the water pipe all the way to the yard of the house, and only when they reached the yard did she connect the plastic water pipe to the water pump.
When the valve was opened, everyone was amazed to see the gushing spring water.
The carpenter's eyes widened: "I never imagined there was such a method! Your Highness's ingenuity is truly admirable!"
"I don't deserve such praise. I just learned the method from someone else. This is my first time experimenting with it, and I didn't expect it to succeed."
"Your Highness is too modest. I wonder where this iron artifact came from. I am very curious about it."
Early Spring nodded: "This servant is also very curious, Your Highness, when did you buy such a thing, and what is it?"
"Uh... this is called a water pump. I bought it from a foreign merchant at the port."
Foreign businessmen are indeed a versatile excuse.
Who cares? They don't even know which businessman they are!
Early Spring said thoughtfully, "The merchants at the port are really amazing; they sell everything."
Zhong Muyu laughed awkwardly twice. In any case, she wouldn't have to worry about electricity and water in this small village anymore.
...
However, Zhong Muyu's joy was short-lived, as the water pipes soon malfunctioned.
That morning, just as she was about to go cleaning, Zaochun rushed over to report: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Why isn't that thing producing any water?"
Zhong Muyu had just gotten up and asked, still a little groggy, "Did the water suddenly stop flowing?"
"No, Granny Zhang noticed that the water wasn't flowing when she was washing her face, and Sister-in-law Zheng has already gone out to fetch water."
"Maybe the water pipe is leaking..."
Zhong Muyu stretched. So, plastic pipes really were the right choice? But her original intention was to promote this method throughout the entire village.
So after breakfast, Zhong Muyu took Zaochun to investigate the problem.
Following the water pipe upwards, they quickly discovered the problem.
Early spring was shocked: "How could this happen? Who did this?"
The bamboo water pipe in front of us had been smashed to pieces with an axe or something similar, and the water from the mountain was flowing into the surrounding weeds, so that every step you took would leave your shoes covered in mud.
Zhong Muyu wanted to go over and take a closer look, but Zaochun supported her, saying, "Your Highness, be careful not to get your shoes and socks wet!"
"It's alright, I'll go over and see if I can fix it."
"How can we fix it now that it's like this? We can only replace it. I don't know who's so mean! I know, it must be someone who's jealous that we don't have to go out to fetch water, so they sabotaged it. Those unruly mountain folk!"
In early spring, I vented my frustrations. Carrying water was so tiring, and now that I finally don't have to carry it anymore, someone is sabotaging it!
"Stop complaining. We're going to stay here for a while, so we can't afford to offend the whole village."
Zhong Muyu carefully observed the scene, while also keeping an eye out for any footprints.
However, she knew in her heart that it was all in vain; she couldn't find anyone unless she installed a surveillance camera here.
She can't monitor that right now.
Just then, the dazzling sun emerged from the clouds, its rays shining brightly on the grass.
Zhong Muyu was startled and quickly went over, where she saw a gold earring in the grass.
She carefully picked up the earring, and Zaochun leaned closer and said, "This must have been accidentally left behind by the vandal!"
"Hmm...it's hard to say. In early spring, how many people in Qingshui Village do you think can afford to wear such large gold earrings?"
Zaochun thought for a moment: "Besides the village chief and a few village heads, there are also two wealthy peasant families in the village. It's possible, isn't it?"
"Perhaps not, in early spring, you forgot someone."
"Ah! You mean..."
In early spring, it dawned on me.
Zhong Muyu nodded: "She has been in the Prince of Ling's mansion for nearly twenty years. The assets she has are probably beyond the reach of the rich farmers and gentry here. Moreover, she has a grudge against us."
“Indeed, Granny Wu is the most suspicious, but... what if we go to her like this and she doesn’t confess?”
Zhong Muyu weighed the gold earring in her hand: "Granny Wu is a greedy person. Now that she has been driven here and her source of income has been cut off, she will naturally cherish the money in her hands even more. This earring is so big, I don't believe she won't be anxious if she loses it. Anyway, she doesn't live far from us, let's go and wait for her."
The two of them went to a shady spot not far from Granny Wu's house and waited for the rabbit to come to them. They had been busy lately, so they took this opportunity to relax.
After a while, a figure indeed came sneakily.
"Your Highness, Granny Wu is out."
Early Spring quietly reminded Zhong Muyu, who was fiddling with her watch to pass the time. She looked up and saw Granny Wu looking down as she searched for something and walked into the mountains.
As expected, they were in a hurry after losing their things and didn't even plan to be careful and come back at night.
