"Other than these mountains, the other places are mainly plains. The biggest advantage of plains is that it's easy to build irrigation canals."
Li Yi carried a basket and collected grass, mushrooms, and herbs along the way.
Princess Yongmu carried a small shovel. Li Yi would dig when he needed to take roots or whole herbs.
Some of the information he looked up required him to read personally. The information was about another time.
The local evaporation rate was high, the precipitation was low, and the wind on the mountain was strong.
"Overall, the terrain is slanted. As long as the drop on the mountain is enough, we can dig canals from the mountain to the bottom. The water will meander, even if some places are higher."
Li Yi knew about the canals. When he was young, there was a pump on the mountain that continuously pumped water from the motor-pumped well.
Below the canals were rice and vegetable fields.
In some places below, the terrain was one meter higher. Affected by the drop on the mountain, the water could still rush over.
One meter higher and two meters deep, the water would not stop flowing. If the water level was one meter higher, it would continue to move forward.
It was best if there was a natural river on the mountain to guide the water. Otherwise, they would need to increase the pressure well and use windmills to pump water.
"If we want to have water on the mountain, we must have enough plants to retain the water. Wait for the rainy season … Now is the rainy season."
Li Yi picked up the binoculars and looked around, looking for mountains and water.
There was a servant girl around them. She temporarily became Princess Yongmu's maid and would supervise the accounts in the future.
Otherwise, she would be married off in two years. She was only eleven years old this year and would do all kinds of work. She would do anything the adults could do.
When she got married, a thirteen-year-old girl would be fourteen years old when she gave birth to a child.
Now that she was appointed as an auditor, she could not marry too early. She needed to work for Dongzhu.
There were thirty villagers next to them. One man from each family helped Li Yi carry the heavy machine gun and aircraft with wooden frames.
Li Yi refused at first. Everyone immediately stopped him and did not allow him to leave, fearing that he would encounter danger.
Li Yi wanted them to load it on the carriage. They brought the carriage but insisted on carrying it.
Four people carried the heavy machine gun and the other four carried the ammunition box.
Two people carried the aircraft with wooden frames.
Li Yi regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have brought an assault rifle and a sniper rifle.
Then, they would fly in the sky and open fire. What about the heavy machine guns now?
"Wen Tian, do you think the two of us can use escorting the heavy machine guns as an excuse to go back by land?" Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu.
Princess Yongmu shook her head. "They'll go crazy and send the Winged Knights over."
"Yeah!" Li Yi admitted. If he didn't come home tomorrow night, the Winged Knights would come out immediately.
They had agreed to go back for dinner, but when it was time for dinner.
"Rabbit, there's a rabbit over there." A villager with good eyesight noticed a rabbit running on the ground from afar.
As he shouted, he looked at Li Yi and then at the machine gun.
Li Yi looked back. Are you asking me to use a heavy machine gun to shoot rabbits? Are you sure you want to eat rabbit meat?
"You ride a horse and catch them. Catch them and bring them back to eat." Li Yi refused.
"I just want to see how it's done." The villager laughed.
"Stand there and I'll hit you." Li Yi stared at him.
"You're kidding. No, no." The villager continued to laugh.
"Li Lang, what bird is in the sky?" Princess Yongmu found a small black dot in the sky.
Li Yi looked through the binoculars. It was still very small. "An eagle. I don't know if it's a big bird or a golden eagle."
Li Yi handed the binoculars over. Princess Yongmu took it and looked. "It's coming down. It's flying down. Oh, it's not going to catch the rabbit, is it?"
The thing flying in the sky was indeed rushing down quickly. Before people could react, the rabbit on the ground realized that the situation was not good and began to run.
Li Yi saw it at this time. It was a golden eagle, not a big bird.
The color was different, and the specific size could not be seen. The golden eagle was one size bigger than the big bird. It was impossible to compare its size.
The golden eagle swooped down quickly. The rabbit continued to run in a zigzag pattern.
The golden eagle approached and stretched out its two claws.
Just when everyone thought the rabbit was going to be caught, the running rabbit suddenly turned around and faced the sky.
The moment the golden eagle and the rabbit came into contact, everyone didn't see what was going on. The golden eagle turned back and flapped its wings.
The rabbit ran away again. The golden eagle flapped its wings and slowly fell.
"It's over. This rabbit is powerful. Let's go and see the golden eagle." Li Yi knew that the golden eagle was kicked, and the rabbit was fine.
Normally, the golden eagle's success rate of catching the rabbit is more than 99%, and the rabbit runs away less than 1%.
The probability of the rabbit kicking the eagle is too small. Usually, the rabbit is held down, but the angle is wrong. The rabbit struggles and is kicked out.
The result is that both sides are injured and dead.
Today, he saw that the rabbit took the initiative to turn around. The golden eagle miscalculated.
The golden eagle was kicked. Looking at the flapping of its wings, it obviously can't fly. Its sternum should be broken or cracked.
It may also be an internal injury. If the internal organs are injured and bleeding, there is no cure.
"It's better to have a broken wing." Li Yi got on his horse and rushed over there.
The villagers were finally willing to put the heavy machine gun and bullet box on the carriage, and the horse ran first.
Princess Yongmu grabbed a horse and followed. It was the first time she had seen such a fierce rabbit and an unlucky golden eagle.
No, it was the first time she saw a golden eagle catching a rabbit, and the result …
Li Yi arrived at the place first, dozens of meters away from the horse, and observed the golden eagle standing on the ground. The golden eagle tried to fly several times, flapped its wings, and even tried to run up, but failed.
"What should we do?" Li Yi approached slowly.
The others followed and dismounted, holding knives and spears in their hands.
The golden eagle was obviously afraid. It continued to flap its wings and turned to leave.
"Did you bring a net?" Li Yi looked at the people around him.
Everyone shook their heads. Why did they bring a net when they came out?
"Dongzhu, wait for it to die, let's catch it, or I'll hit it with a spear as a stick. I promise it won't be broken."
The villager with the spear turned the spearhead. He wanted to hit the head and control the strength.
"I want it alive." Li Yi began to look at the direction of the wind.
"The eagle is finished. Its bones should be broken. How can it live?"
"You follow me, turn, go to the wind." Li Yi felt the direction of the wind and walked in a circle.
The golden eagle seemed to know that it could not run away. It always faced the crowd, occasionally flapping its wings and immediately stopping.
Li Yi turned to the wind and suddenly there was a glass bottle in his hand.
"Stand still. If the wind suddenly changes direction, immediately hold your breath and run away." Li Yi said to everyone, and he began to take deep breaths.
He also had to hold his breath for a while. The bottle in his hand was filled with halothane, a liquid. It was generally an inhalation anesthetic in clinical practice.
He had another pressure sprayer in his hand. He unscrewed it and poured water into it. He looked at the scale and took a deep breath.
Holding his breath, he unscrewed the cap of the halothane and poured it into the sprayer.
Looking at the scale of the bottle, he quickly closed the cap and re-screwed the sprayer.
He put it on the ground and stepped back to breathe.
The golden eagle looked at him, always vigilant, but did not know what he was doing.
