Chapter 37: Chapter 37 An Overwhelming Aura Approaches_1 Chapter 37: Chapter 37 An Overwhelming Aura Approaches_1 Nan Feng suddenly felt like she had been shocked by electricity.
In her last life and this one, she had heard countless people call her “Nan Feng”, but when these two characters ca out of Ye Ge’s mouth, they sounded extraordinarily pleasing.
Perhaps, it was because his voice was too charming.
She turned her head abruptly, only to see that Ye Ge had already put down his bucket and was walking towards her.
Once again, an overpowering aura surged towards her, laden with a strong masculine scent.
“Are you going to fetch water?” Ye Ge asked.
“Yes, I’ve planted so Chinese cabbage seeds, I think they need to be watered,” Nan Feng glanced at Ye Ge’s deep and dark eyes, but soon averted her gaze.
She surprisingly didn’t dare to maintain eye contact.
Ye Ge asked, “Is one bucket enough?”
“One bucket…
probably enough,” said Nan Feng.
She wasn’t actually sure how much water was needed, but she could only carry half a bucket at a ti, so one round trip would yield just one bucket.
“You can use mine first,” Ye Ge turned around in the vegetable field and placed his fully-loaded bucket of water in Nan Feng’s vegetable field.
“If I use yours, don’t you have to fetch more?” Nan Feng asked.
“A bucket is enough for my vegetable field.
If I fetch more, it’s to see if any nearby villagers need water,” said Ye Ge, then he turned to water his own crops.
Ye Ge’s field also grows so ginger, green onions, garlic, lettuce, and cabbage.
Well, he really is a person who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside, helping not only himself but also others.
If the person who ca today wasn’t her, soone else would use his water.
Nan Feng was in a daze for a while, but soon snapped out of it.
She took a wooden scoop from the bucket and started watering in the sa way she had seen the Policeman couple do.
She couldn’t just pour it straight, she needed to sprinkle it evenly, so that the water would form a sheet in the air before it hit the soil.
But Nan Feng couldn’t manage to sprinkle the water evenly, it fell in streams, like rain pillars, and was not evenly distributed.
Seeing this from his own field, Ye Ge approached Nan Feng without hesitation.
Nan Feng was still clumsily watering when suddenly, a big hand reached out and grabbed her small hand.
Then, the deep, gravelly voice echoed over her head, “This is how you water.
Keep the scoop level and give it a slight shake as you throw…”
Because their bodies were so close together, Nan Feng could feel his body heat and the breath he exhaled, a strong and slightly sweaty scent… Also, his hand was rough, with thick calluses that must have co from regular exercise or hard labor.
Her face began to heat up again.
Nan Feng finally mastered the technique of watering, and Ye Ge then went back to his field.
Nan Feng exhaled in relief.
…
By the ti Nan Feng finished watering and returned the bucket to Ye Ge, her heart had cald down.
So, she could naturally converse with Ye Ge, “I still think it’s too hard for the villagers to carry water all the way to water their crops every day.”
While pulling weeds from his lettuce patch, Ye Ge looked up and replied, “Indeed, it’s hard.
But that’s because there’s no creek nearby.
Digging a canal would require a lot of manpower, and this area is much higher than the riverbank, so the water can’t flow up.
There is a reservoir nearby, but it only has water in spring, and it dries up after the sumr solstice.”
So, he had already researched this.
Nan Feng said, “I don’t know how others feel, but I know that if we want to save labor and still enjoy fresh vegetables, we have to bring the water in.
Anyway, I don’t want to carry water every day.”
Ye Ge asked, “So, do you have any good ideas?”
Rembering the water storage pools she had seen on CCTV7, Nan Feng offered, “Can we dig a larger reservoir and bring the water in from there?
I know a way to divert water.”
“Oh?” Ye Ge was both curious and surprised, “You know how to divert water?”
“Yes, co with .
Let’s go to the river and do an experint.”
