Chapter 536 Superficial woman, hum (5K) (Page 12)
Iron Valley, Iron Wall Castle.
The 'brash' Miss Ellie was wearing a black dress with a ruffled white apron on the outside. A pair of ball-free white stockings wrapped her slender legs, which was really tempting.
She hugged the wooden basin and ran all the way to the corner.
There was already a group of people lined up and talking non-stop.
"Sister Ellie!"
"Ai Li~"
"Quick, get in front of me."
They were all servants of Iron Wall Castle. When they saw Ellie coming, they immediately gave way enthusiastically.
There is never a shortage of good people in the world, especially when you gain power, everyone around you will become good people.
Ellie is beautiful, but has a reckless personality, but she is loved by the lord. The lord rarely comes to live in the Iron Wall Castle, so he does not have a handy valet. He calls Ellie at most and most frequently.
The great housekeeper 'Cinderella' Lily also trusts her very much.
So Ellie's status has increased.
Aili is not a person who gets carried away easily. She just likes her current life. She planned to go out to fetch water today, but she came over after hearing that the water pipes were installed.
At first she didn't know what water pipes meant.
It's impossible to transfer water from a mountain far away with just an iron pipe, right? How can it be!
There is no shortage of water in Iron Valley, not because it is close to the sea, but because there are many mountains.
There are several high mountains that cannot be climbed. After Li Qi sent people to investigate, they found that more than a dozen mountain springs flowed from the mountains, and each mountain spring branched off into countless tributaries, basically covering most of the Iron Valley area.
Relying on manpower to drill wells... Iron Valley does not have this technology. It should be said that most territories do not have the ability to drill water wells.
If you want to have easy access to water, live by the river.
This is why Li Qi asked everyone in the territory to boil the water before drinking it when he first crossed over.
Domestic garbage is discharged into the water, and various microorganisms thrive in it. The upstream pulls the downstream to drink. It is code-named Koudan, right? There is no need to look for salt.
Not a few people died of dysentery.
In fact, most Lureyan people don't drink water, but like to drink beer.
After Li Qi's request, the water source problem must be solved.
Some scholar apprentices, working with their staffs, climbed mountains and ridges to find a suitable place, leaving the magic circle as a water pump to pour mountain spring water into water pipes and then distribute it to various villages.
Specially modified water pipes can be used for many years and can be cleaned without any problems. Magic is very convenient in many cases.
The water pipes are buried deep underground. Unless there is a major earthquake in Iron Valley, or Mr. Li Qi is free and invites a few strong men to fight with their arms, ordinary people will not be able to find the water pipes if they want to find them. They are buried too deep. .
Iron Wall Fort is the third batch to have water pipes opened because it is the farthest away.
The last group is Zhenzi Village, which mainly mines kerosene. It has the fewest people living there and is not in a hurry.
"It's out, it's out of the water!" a footman exclaimed.
The thing called a "faucet" suddenly coughed a few times, and then sprayed water splashes out while making a "puff" sound. People who were splashed by the water only felt cool and couldn't help but be surprised.
Can mountain spring water really be transported here?
The manservant held the water in his hands and took a sip into his mouth. He shouted, "Sweet!" amidst the curious and eager eyes of the others.
The mountain spring water must be very sweet, but it takes several days to flow from there. The sweetness in his mouth was more of a novelty.
“You won’t have to go out to fetch water anymore?”
"Thank you Lord Lord!"
"The wisdom of the lord!"
Everyone praised the lord.
It's not that they have been brainwashed by Li Qi and want to praise the lord whenever something happens, but after they get real benefits, they will definitely thank the people who contributed as soon as possible. As long as they are human beings, they have a grateful heart.
Youdao always remembers the well-digger when it comes to water, and Li Qi is now the well-digger.
Like the Great Druid on Earth who worked hard to feed people, but was sprayed for touching a luxury car. Such people have been expelled from the country. In Iron Valley, they can only go out at noon, because sooner or later they will be beaten to death.
Magic has been able to do this for a long time, but no lord has ever taken the initiative to do it.
It doesn't matter if it works for the people, but it hurts money.
Scholars are also unwilling to waste their time.
But it's different here in Li Qi. They are all wage earners trained by themselves. Let's work honestly. They have learned some skills and want good treatment, but they still want to stop working. They even want to lie about the cost of magic research. I really think that The gallows built by Li Qi was prepared for himself.
Ellie didn't really jump in the queue, but queued up obediently. There were a few maids in front of her who were serving as cooks, serving Miss Evangelion, and fetching water for Miss Fami. They all had connections and power, which meant that none of them had any. So let’s all just follow the rules.
Being able to receive water in the inner fort has saved a lot of energy.
She carried the basin back to Li Qi's room, rolled up her sleeves, and squatted down.
After soaking the rag, kneel down and wipe the floor.
Humming softly in his mouth.
Recently, many bards have taken the initiative to come to Iron Valley, it is said that it is for the red rose.
They don't have the courage to rescue the Duke's daughter from the "evil" lord, but they have the courage to take advantage of the fame of Red Rose and Li Qi in the name of acting, and then go back and make up a story. Not only do they have the courage, but they are also very brave.
The good thing is that the servants hear good tunes every day.
The timbres of tambourines, flutes, violins and other musical instruments are beautiful, but Ellie's favorite is the whistle. The light and leisurely atmosphere makes her yearn for the Endor mentioned by the other party, the endless grassland where horses can gallop, and the sunshine in front of her at dusk. Everything is plated with gold, loud war songs, and men who represent freedom and wildness.
Who stipulates that only men can choose the object of their admiration? Women also like attractive men.
Love is fair.
If you want to do it, it is even more fair.
What Ellie hummed had nothing to do with the bard, but the strange song she accidentally heard hummed by the lord.
I don’t know what language it is, but with the Lord’s ability, it’s normal for him to understand a language that he has never heard of.
"You are my little little apple~"
Ai Li rubbed her sore lower back and then left the room with a basin of sewage.
Later she would bring a basin of water back and wipe the floor, and the work would be over.
But as soon as he left the inner castle, he saw a somewhat familiar figure sitting on a lounge chair under the shade of a tree, with a book in his left hand.
Two cats lay on his knees, purring and dozing.
The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the tough and handsome black-haired young man had a smile on his lips, as if he had seen something interesting.
Her black hair ruffled, and Ellie's heart skipped a beat.
It's the Lord. I don't know when he came back.
Aili didn't dare to disturb the lord's study, but Li Qi over there had already seen her: "Aili!"
"Good day, sir." Ellie put down the basin.
Dirty water rippled in the basin.
She wiped her wet hands on her white ruffled apron and walked quickly to Li Qi.
