The craftsman came over and made a groove by gesturing with his hands.
Then, he realized that it didn't work. Unless the straws were tied in small bundles, they would stick up when they were placed in the groove.
"Add a baffle in front of the groove. As long as the straws are put in, they will be blocked. When you push them from the back, they will be connected together." Li Yi modified it on the spot.
The craftsman pointed at the board behind and said, "Add an extra board, half an inch will be enough. Press it to the back. But this way, when you push it to the front, there will only be two inches left. It won't be able to cut it. "
"Don't want the tail, it will be composted." Li Yi agreed with the modified method.
"Dongzhu." The worker said, "Can't you just put in a new bundle?"
Li Yi, "…"
How embarrassing. He didn't even think of such a simple thing.
"Very good, I'll give you a boiled egg for dinner." Li Yi rewarded him. He turned to his brother and said, "I just want others to say it out loud."
"Hahahaha ~ ~ ~" Li Chengqi laughed and patted Li Yi's shoulder, "Brother Yi, I believe you. I really believe you. Hahahaha …"
"Let's go to the other side and take a look." Li Yi quickly changed the location.
In another place, carts of coal slurry were slowly pulled over by ox carts and donkey carts.
The men used shovels to add water and coal slurry. The women and children rolled up their sleeves and moved the coal slurry into the mold and patted it with their hands, just like what Li Yi did that day.
The weather was cold, and their hands would go numb after patting. When they patted the coal slurry, they would feel cold and painful.
The children would put their little hands in front of their mouths after patting the coal slurry, and their faces would turn black.
The four or five-year-old boys and girls were all working hard. The younger ones were also helping to grab small pieces of coal slurry and give them to the older children.
They were wearing patched clothes, and there were also patches on the adults' shoes.
However, the children's shoes were new, and they looked the same as the children in Zhuangzi.
Li Chengqi clenched his fists and his breathing became faster.
He pulled Li Yi to the side, "Brother Yi, why don't you ask the children to go to school?"
"Why?" Li Yi asked.
He continued, "When I was young, I also suffered a lot. The villagers are my people, so of course I have to take care of the children. They are hired hands. I have given them a shed to live in, and they have burned the charcoal mud themselves in the winter. I'll pay for the shipping. "
"Burn it yourself?" Li Chengqi repeated.
"Of course, the extra money will be given to Zhuangzi as well as the transportation fee. The sheds have a series of fire tunnels. More than ten families will use one. Discuss who will provide how much charcoal base. "
Li Yi explained the situation. He didn't think that the children were suffering. The real suffering was that they were hungry and had no food to eat.
If he stayed by Zhuangzi's side, he would take care of him if he fell sick. If he worked, there would be food and he could even save some.
"Don't they plan to send their children to school?" Li Chengqi thought that everyone was the same as Brother Yi.
In the end, he realized that the person in front of him was another matter altogether. The child was so pitiful.
"After the charcoal base is finished, there will be less work for the children to do. The new students will take turns teaching them how to read and write on the ground with wooden sticks."
Li Yi explained the follow-up arrangements. There were 220 new students, so none of them should think about being idle.
"Sigh ~ ~" Li Chengqi closed his eyes and sighed when he heard that they were writing on the ground with wooden sticks in winter.
Last night, he was also at Pyong Kang Square. They sang together, "The bright moon shines above the sea, we share this moment at the end of the world." "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, I climbed the tall building alone, I looked to the end of the world."
He also recited in the middle of the song, "The first plum blossom breaks people's intestines, the second plum blossom takes time to think, the third plum blossom raises waves, the depths of the clouds and mist are boundless."
Last night was a charming night. The people at Pyong Kang Square were about to go crazy.
Indeed, the song was sung, the dance was danced, the night was long without dawn, the search for joy.
Who would have thought that Brother Yi, Zhuangzi, who came early in the morning, would see a different scene.
Was everything last night a dream? Why did he wake up?
"Brother Yi, please help them." Li Chengqi said with a bitter face.
"Big brother, am I not helping them? As long as they are willing to work, I have work for them. The salary is not small.
By next summer, with the money they had saved up, they would be able to build a brick house.
I have work for them all the time. If they are sick, I don't need money to treat them.
In the winter, I will teach some people medicine. If they are clever, they can be apprentices. "
Li Yi was even more helpless. This big brother was too idealistic. He wished that the whole Tang dynasty could become well-off.
"At least make some clothes for the children. Brother Yi, I will pay." Li Chengqi decided.
"Yes, the adults also made some clothes. That's why the clothes they are wearing now are so thick. They were made from old clothes. Look at the children's shoes. They are new shoes. "
Li Yi said and took his big brother to another place.
When they arrived at the Ba River, more than a dozen boats were casting nets to catch fish.
After a few nets, they caught some fish and sent them to the shore.
On the shore, there were people processing the fish. They scraped off the fish scales and removed the internal organs. They were thrown into wooden barrels to feed the pigs, chickens, and ducks.
Li Chengqi was in a good mood when he saw the adults here.
A smile appeared on his face: "In the winter, we can count on the greenhouse to make money. When the time comes, let's see if the vegetables in my greenhouse in Zhuangzi or yours are better."
"More or less." Li Yi felt that unless he exchanged his lifespan for hormones to spray the crops, there was no difference.
"Alas, when winter comes, there are more people coming to Chang 'an from outside. The price of grain in Chang' an will rise. The wages for transporting grain to Chang 'an will also increase."
Li Chengqi saw a group of adults and children carrying luggage appear on the other side of the Ba River. He knew that they were looking for work. He told them the reason why grain in Chang 'an was expensive in winter.
"It's mainly because there are fewer jobs outside in winter. If it's the south … Bring the first aid kit and push the ambulance."
As Li Yi was talking, he suddenly saw a woman holding a child at the end of the bridge suddenly fall to the ground.
He turned around and shouted at the palace maids and eunuchs. Then, he rushed over in big strides.
Qing Song brought the first aid kit and ran after him. He turned around and went to the courtyard.
Li Chengqi was slightly stunned and also ran. The guards took out their crossbows.
Li Yi was anxious, but he did not run with all his might. He maintained the speed and stride of a three-kilometer sprint.
He ran across the bridge. There were already many people in front of him. There was also the sound of a child crying for his mother. It was heart-wrenching.
"Get out of the way." Li Yi shouted. The crowd looked at him.
He went forward and pulled a few people away. He directly knelt on the ground and touched the woman's neck. He opened her eyes and looked at her mouth. He pressed her chest twice and listened for her breathing.
"What did she eat?" Li Yi shouted at the child that the woman was holding.
"Wah ~ ~ I want my mother, I want my mother …" The child cried.
"Let me ask you, what did your mother eat?" Li Yi was anxious.
The child continued to cry. However, the person beside him said, "Where else can she eat? She hasn't eaten for two days. She gave everything to the child. She only drank water."
When Li Yi heard this, he grabbed the first aid kit and opened it. He took out a syringe and a glucose bottle.
He inserted the syringe into the bottle and directly drew out a syringe full of liquid.
"Roll up her sleeves." Li Yi shouted at Qing Song.
Qing Song hesitated for a moment and chose the woman's left arm. He reached up and rolled it up, revealing the arm that had not been bathed for a long time.
"Again." Li Yi did not care about whether the arm was clean or not.
When the arm was exposed, Li Yi held the woman's arm with his left hand. After two breaths, the blood vessels were exposed. He inserted the needle with his right hand and quickly injected the glucose.
He inserted a syringe and changed the needle. He took out another syringe and pushed it again. He pushed three syringes in a row.
"Ah ~ ~" The woman let out a trembling moan.
Li Yi removed the cork of the bottle and lifted the woman's neck with one hand. The mouth of the bottle was facing the woman's mouth. He slowly poured the remaining glucose into the woman's mouth.
After that, he smiled. She woke up so quickly. Fortunately, he discovered it in time.
The woman swallowed on her own and opened her eyes to look. When she saw the child, she shook her head and raised her arm.
"It's okay, it's a small problem. Don't be afraid, you won't die. In this situation, it's very difficult for you to die in front of me." Li Yi smiled and comforted the child and the woman.
The onlookers stared at Li Yi with all their might. They saw a person rushing over, touching the neck, looking at the mouth, pressing the chest, rolling the eyelids. What did he use to inject so much water into the woman's arm?
The woman was alive. She was alive.
One had to know that many people did not have food to eat. They walked and fell, but they could never get up again.
