Natasha hypnotized herself
……
Surdak was awakened by an excited scream. I don’t know how long it has been since he slept so steadily. Even in his sleep, he constantly knows how to swim in the sea and feels that the nodes in his body are constantly lit up. He rarely sleeps when he wakes up naturally.
"Dad, I didn’t dream!"
Little Peter got into Surdak’s bed in his pajamas, and his feet were cold. He stared at him and didn’t wake up yet. Surdak rubbed his face and shouted, Surdak quickly stopped little Peter from being kicked off.
"Peter, you should let him sleep a little longer. He came back very late yesterday …"
Natasha came over with a cup of warm water in her apron. First, she let little Peter take a sip of water and poured the rest into Surdak’s mouth.
"I came back late yesterday and you didn’t even wake me up!" Little Peter looked at Natasha with some anger.
But then Rita grabbed her ear and pulled it out from the bed of Surdak.
Little Peter protested loudly and begged for mercy …
……
Surdak pushed the door and walked into the old village head’s house. The old village head’s family was eating breakfast at the table. The table was surrounded by people. Even his dog Kara curled up and hid at the bottom of the table.
Charley saw Surdak get up and stare big eyes in surprise and asked, "Dudak, how did you come back from Hailanza?"
The old village head also looked doubtfully at Surdak, but he was much more calm than Charlie and asked Surdak, "Did you have breakfast? Have no words to eat together … "
Chapter 374 Dark priestess
This winter is well prepared, and every household and granary is full. The old village head who was troubled in previous years has a much more smiling face.
The old village chief’s wife made a pot of lemon tea for everyone, and there was a faint fragrance in the living room.
Surdak sat in the living room with a teacup and told the old village head about the fact that the wizard of Dale wanted to buy sulfur mines.
The old village chief sat down and knocked the corner of the pipe table to clean up the ash, then filled it with tobacco. He was not in a hurry to light it and put it in his mouth. He listened silently to Surdak’s words and became refreshed and said excitedly, "This is a great thing!"
After that, he smiled shyly and told Surdak about the villagers’ doubts. "Everyone in those sulfur warehouses doesn’t know what these Huangshitou have. It’s not hard to dig them up at the foot of the mountain. It’s all false to say that they can exchange silver coins, but they don’t create value. Recently, these people have been free to discuss these things, but I can’t give any reasonable explanation."
He paused for a moment, then lit the tobacco in his pipe with a match and took a deep breath before saying, "It is of course best to sell them."
Charley asked with a worried face, "It’s so big outside now that the roads in the snowy mountains are almost blocked. How can we transport these sulfur mines out?"
On reflection, the old village head said, "The eye carriage will definitely not work."
"In addition to discussing this matter with you, I just want to take a batch of sulfur mines out this time …" Surdak stretched out his hand and patted his waist and said to the old village head and Charley, "The first batch of sulfur mines will be taken out by me."
Surdak took a look at Charley and said, "The subsequent sulfur mine transaction will wait until this mountain road is clear and you will drive it into Hailanza."
Charlie listened to Surdak and said with excitement, "Well, I’ll dig through this mountain road by manpower and snow."
Then he envied looking at Surdak’s waist magic pocket and said, "The magic pocket is really a good thing. I heard that it is a must for adventurers. The pattern is so delicate …"
Charlie was carefully looking at the exquisite magic lines on the pocket, and he saw Suldak constantly throwing things out of his magic pocket. There were hard frozen fish piles in the living room with a smell of scarlet sea. His eyes widened and he asked Suldak, "What is this?"
Seeing more and more frozen fish thrown out by Surdak, even the busy old village chief’s wife and Charlie’s wife ran out, looking surprised and looking at the living room full of frozen fish and ham.
Surdak felt that he was covered with fishy smell and said to the old village head, "It’s a deal about the sulfur mine. It’s rare to go back to Woer Village in winter. The village is short of materials. These are all bought by our city and frozen hard. These are marine fish and these are ham … Uncle Brett will help me distribute them to everyone."
Charlie said excitedly, "Wow, we can fry fish tonight."
Charlie’s wife looked at the frozen fish longer than her arms and said in surprise, "There are so many big fish …"
Looking at the living room full of all kinds of ingredients, sorting out the ingredients and cleaning the living room, these things are done by women. The old village head waved at Surdak and said, "Let’s go and see the surface reservoir with me. The water in the pool is already full …"
Surdak and the old village head swam along a winding snowy road in the village.
A group of women were also hit by Rita in the stream.
The village women greeted Surdak with great enthusiasm when they saw him coming back. A group of women chattered and chatted far away.
In front of us is a three-meter-high arc dam, which is made of pozzolanic cement and has a length of nearly 400 meters. It just connects the mountain walls on both sides of the ravine to form the first dam. The top of the dam is nearly one meter wide, and the top of the dam can pass freely. The steps leading to the dam on both sides are surrounded by simple wooden fences. This is to prevent the bear children in the village from sneaking into the dam and accidentally falling into the reservoir. The worst thing is that there are two sluices on both sides of the dam. The reservoir is full of water, and the stream slowly flows out without the sluice to form a narrow ice waterfall.
Charlie hit the fence gate and Surdak walked along the dam. You can see that this first-class reservoir, which covers an area of about six acres, has been filled with water, frozen and covered with a thick layer of snow. There are several lines of footprints on the ice. When the old village head saw these footprints, he shouted angrily to Charlie, "Go and find out for me who is not afraid of death. Can I become a warrior by walking around the ice?"
The old village head of Charley was so scolded that he almost bent down and nodded to show that the horse had found out about it and promised to severely punish the offenders.
"If there is another time, I will send welfare in his village!" The old village head said with a determined effort
Charley protested with a bitter face, "Otherwise, let’s corporal punishment. Let’s not get rid of welfare. It’s not easy for everyone to get something to eat!"
In order to reduce the difficulty of the project, Surdak did not let the dam be built too high, and the project was refined into five stages to form a progressive stepped reservoir eye. The first-class reservoir was initially completed, and the second-class reservoir had also been outlined. Before the land was frozen, the old village head and his people had leveled the bottom of the second-class reservoir, and the dam outline had been obtained and the deep ditch needed for the foundation was dug along the outline.
There is a lot of volcanic ash next to it, which is covered with heavy snow like a huge grave
Surdak’s design expectation is that after the completion of the second-level reservoir, the normal irrigation water in the village will be guaranteed in the dry season, and after the completion of the fifth-level reservoir, the water will be continuously stored in the reservoir to reduce the scouring of abundant rain on the beach of Youhe Bay, forming a large area of wetland. If it is profitable, it will become a hundred acres of wheat fields.
However, it is not enough to build a reservoir just by visiting Walvillage. It is also necessary to dig drainage ditches around the river bend and beach, and to find low-lying places to dig drainage ponds. This is a very big project, and it will not continue until next spring.
The old village head looked at the foot reservoir with a satisfied look, pointing to the gates on the left and right sides, and said, "After the thaw in the spring of next year, two large water tankers will be set up here, and then two secondary reservoirs for grinding lime powder and water mills will be set up. After they are built, some people can clean up the beach. I have already figured out where to dig the drainage ditch …"
After seeing the reservoir, the old village head took Suldak to see the busy carpenter workshop in the village. The old village head strongly invited Suldak’s old village head’s house to have lunch before he and Charlie and Luke went to the village warehouse to fill the sulfur mine. Even if Suldak’s magic purse was filled with sulfur mine roots, there would be no shortage in the warehouse.
Surdak came home at noon and played with little Peter in the courtyard for a long time. Little Peter made a small round oak shield and corrected little Peter’s correct defensive posture in the courtyard. Watching little Peter brandish his sword in the courtyard, old Sheila sat in the chair at the door of the house and basked in the sun. Her face was smiling faintly, but she didn’t know where she had flown.
While little Peter was practicing basic fencing, Surdak went to sit next to old Sheila and basked in the sun together.
……
Surdak didn’t have dinner at home. He left home at dusk.
When he left, he heard Rita pouting and sitting beside Natasha complaining. Surdak could pretend not to hear.
Outside Selena courtyard, it was getting dark, and many windows in the village gradually lit up with faint light. This light won’t last long, and people in the village generally sleep early. In order to save lamp oil, most of these windows were newly replaced to Selena in autumn. This room also has a small glass window.
Night came and the house was lit up.
A small figure approached the glass window, and Surdak knew that it must be Signa. She held out her small hand and hung it with frost. The glass window was painted with simple lines and frozen, and a big smile appeared on the window.
