Chapter 150 Inquiry

The cold sweat on the forehead of the yamen was about to fall.

I heard the little boy behind him say: "Don't be afraid, Manbao, I'll let Daji build a boat when I go back. If the water comes down, we'll sit on the boat, so that we won't be flooded, and we can catch the water while sitting on the boat. fish."

With a wow, Man Bao immediately thought of a better way, "Let my fourth brother learn to swim, so he can go into the water to catch fish and pass it to us on the boat."

Thurou:  …

Bai Shanbao suddenly pointed to the river and said, "Look, big fish!"

Man Bao couldn't help but dig in, and sure enough, he saw a fish the size of a slap. It just got out from under a rock. With a swipe of its tail, it disappeared with a bang. She screamed and stretched her hand forward. , seems to want to catch it.

The county magistrate Fu, who was standing behind them, coughed lightly, stepped forward, and glanced down.

When Thursday Lang turned around, he suddenly saw a group of well-dressed people appearing behind him. He was shocked. He was always bold, patted his chest and asked, "Who are you?"

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao raised their heads, and the first thing they saw was Magistrate Fu standing at the front.

Bai Shanbao just glanced at it and said, "This is the county magistrate." Didn't you see the seal on the clothes?

Thursday Lang's eyes widened, and he saluted with hands and feet, but he couldn't help but look up at him secretly.

Magistrate Fu didn't pay attention to Thursday Lang, but was curious about Bai Shanbao. He stroked his beard and asked him with a smile, "Where is Xiao Langjun from?"

Bai Shanbao and Manbao had already got up from the ground, clapped the mud in their palms, and saluted the students, saying, "Back to the county magistrate, the students are from Qili Village."

County magistrate Fu asked with a smile, "I heard what you said just now, do you know how to build this dam?"

Bai Shanbao looked at Man Bao and said, "I don't understand, but Man Bao knows a little bit, why don't you ask her."

Fu County Magistrate was slightly surprised and looked at Man Bao.

Man Bao was a little shorter than Bai Shanbao. At first glance, he was younger than Bai Shanbao, and his round face was staring curiously at his clothes.

Magistrate Fu couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "What's the name of the little girl?"

Man Bao saluted and replied, "My name is Zhou Man."

"Hey," Magistrate Fu asked, "Do you have a big name?"

There are very few folk women who have a big name, especially for such a small child. Some people don't have a big name until the girl and her husband are about to get married, and most folk women don't have a big name until they die.

Man Bao said as a matter of course: "Of course, I am an aunt."

"Oh?" Magistrate Fu became interested, so he simply sat down on a rock beside the embankment, and asked the two of them to come to talk and ask Man Bao, "Then your brother is very old?"

Man Bao nodded, pointed directly to Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang who were selling soup and meals in the distance and said, "Well, those are my eldest brother and second brother, and this is my fourth brother."

County magistrate Fu glanced at it. He had been to the dam several times. Naturally, he knew that there were people doing business here. He didn't care much, but he was still a little happy.

Because population is also one of the county magistrates' evaluations, he asked with a smile, "How many brothers do you have?"

"Six!"

Magistrate Fu applauded, "Yes, yes, if your father can have six sons, it would be great if your brothers could also have six."

Man Bao thought about it for a while, then opened his eyes slightly, "Then how many houses will my family need to live in?"

Bai Shanbao also hugged his stomach and laughed, "You won't even recognize anyone by then."

Man Bao argued: "I have a good memory. There are so many people in the village that I can remember them all, so why can't I recognize them all?"

Magistrate Fu: ...Why did the topic suddenly turn here?

He coughed lightly and asked Man Bao again, "Do you know how to build a dam?"

"Know a little bit," Man Bao said truthfully, "Isn't it built here now? To build a dam is to build a wall of wood, stone and mud that can be tilted to release and block water."

Magistrate Fu nodded with a smile, "That's not wrong."

He thought that Man Bao had concluded after reading the dam under construction. He no longer paid attention to the childish words of the two children, but the county magistrate behind him couldn't help but ask, "Why is it tilted?"

"Because the force can be unloaded." Man Bao just heard Keke mentioned that the most important point is to calculate the inclination according to the actual situation, so as to block the water force to the maximum and prevent the dam from being washed away.

Man Bao told the county magistrate with his own understanding, "If a stick is standing like this, it may be broken if it is swept down by high and high water, but if it is stuck like this, high and high water will wash down , it may have flowed off it, and the stick is still stuck diagonally."

The county magistrate was surprised, and even the magistrate couldn't help but look back at Man Bao and asked, "Who told you this?"

Man Bao thought for a while and said, "My friend told me the truth, but what I thought was what I thought. I think I thought it right."

They secretly went to play in the reeds, sticks stuck in the mud, as long as the wind is strong, the straight stick will fall first than the diagonal stick, but she will not tell the adults, because she and Bai Shanbao are different They bought out a lot of delicious food before they bought the little friends who were watching them, and they were not allowed to tell the adults.

Daji, who has been with him all the time, silently watching them play: ... I am also an adult!

The county magistrate was surprised by Man Bao's intelligence, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, she was a girl, but Bai Shanbao, who was on the side, attracted his attention.

Bai Shanbao also had something to say to Magistrate Fu. He pulled Manbao's sleeve and whispered into her ear in front of everyone.

He thought it was a whisper, but the voice was not low at all, and everyone stood close again, so they all heard it.

Bai Shanbao said, "Show the article we wrote to the magistrate."

Man Bao said: "I haven't finished writing it yet, and Mr. said that I can't see anyone yet."

Bai Shanbao was unhappy and said, "It's been a year, how long does it take to write? I think it's well written, and now it can be seen by the magistrate, we may not be able to meet the magistrate in the future."

Having said that, Bai Shanbao no longer whispered in Manbao's ear, but discussed with Manbao in front of everyone.

Man Bao didn't find anything wrong, and said confidently: "It doesn't matter, when it's written, the gentleman said it's ok, I'll ask my friend to send it to the county magistrate."

Bai Shanbao was curious, "Your friend knows the magistrate?"

Magistrate Fu was also very curious.

Man Bao nodded and said, "I know, the magistrate is her father."

The county magistrate, the chief clerk and others looked at the magistrate Fu.

Magistrate Fu:  …

Bai Shanbao insisted, "I think it's well written."

"Sir said it wasn't good enough, or we wouldn't have come to see Lauding build the dam."

County Magistrate Fu and others: The children turned their heads and looked, we are physical, not invisible.
