Pei Shuzheng was writing at his desk.

Not only did he have to do the work of the county magistrate, but he also had to take care of the administrative work of the county magistrate Chen Changbai. He had been busy for several days and had been living in the backyard of the county government.

Pei Shu saw her coming, put down his pen, waved and said, "Come here."

Ruan Ling walked up to him obediently.

Pei Shu pulled her to sit on his lap and said softly, "Look, you are so thin that you are only a handful of bones left. I've been busy recently and can't take good care of you. You have to eat more."

"It's okay if I don't eat a few meals, but what are you busy with?" Ruan Ling looked at his table.

It was actually some drawings.

She drew a lot of things in a dense way, but she couldn't understand them, so she smiled and said, "Are you learning to draw talismans from Taoist priests?"

Pei Shu laughed: "What kind of talisman is it? This is the channel water conservancy."

"Is that true, let me see." Ruan Ling picked up the drawing and looked at it, pointing to a place, "What is this?"

Pei Shu glanced at it and smiled and said, "This is a water truck. I designed it. You can step on other places in this place..."

He explained to her.

Ruan Ling looked at it for a while and sighed, "Ashu, you are really a talented person. However, there is still something to improve here."

She used some of the knowledge principles she had seen in modern times to help Pei Shu improve her waterwheel. Seeing that Pei Shu's eyes were shiny, she hugged her and kissed her a few times.

"My Ling'er is so amazing!"

"Your Ling'er has even more powerful people." Ruan Ling smiled, "I'm here to ask you, it's a drought here. When are you going to hold a sacrifice and ask me to rain?"

"Rain...no hurry."

"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Ruan Lingqi was in a hurry, "It's time to plant rice, and the people are so anxious. Not to mention the Ruan family, my parents, even my mother-in-law, she is worried every day. Why are you, the magistrate, not in a hurry?"

The magistrate also has the responsibility of supervising farmers. If the people here fail to farm well, he, as the magistrate, will be held accountable by the superiors, which will also affect his reputation and future.

Pei Shu said, "I know what I know. Look, I have been designing a water truck for a long time. As long as it is installed, there will be water here..."

"Ashu, how long does it take to install this water truck? Can you get there?" Ruan Ling said, "Even if there are so many people in the county, how many water trucks do you have to load to be enough? How much money does it cost? Have you calculated all these?"

"I have considered all these..."

"Ashu, what's going on?" Ruan Ling frowned, "As long as you hold a sacrifice, I will rain! Isn't this the fastest and most effective way? Why do you have to look far and far? Or do you don't trust me at all, and don't believe that I have the ability to rain?"

"Where did you think of?" Pei Shu pinched the tip of her nose, "How could I not believe you? I just thought that using water trucks is a long-term way, and I will never rely on you as gods..."

"What you said, if the people don't need our gods, what else do we need to exist?! If I disappear, you will be satisfied?" Ruan Ling thought of the desolation of the gods in later generations and thought of the purpose of being forced to come here, and suddenly became a little angry.

She stood up suddenly, turned around and left.

"Ling'er, Ling'er!" Pei Shu hurriedly grabbed her, "How could I hope you disappear? I just, just..."

"Just what?"

"I don't want you to be injured because of this." Pei Shu had no choice but to tell the truth, "I know that you need a lot of divine power to rain like this. You are very tired. You will be injured at the least and retreat at the worst. So I...I don't want you to be injured because of this. I want to try other ways."
