Chapter 76 The well-drilling team travels to Zhongyuan City...
Xiao Ba immediately replied, "Yes, Grandpa Master!"
At the same time, its robotic arm once again precisely climbed onto the frame of the Phoenix Bronze Mirror, and with a slight electric shock, the entire scene seemed to freeze.
A sharp crackling sound of electricity rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Fu, Xiao Ba, and the trucks carrying Li Qiang and his well-drilling team all disappeared from the Fu family's courtyard in an instant.
Only the gleaming phoenix bronze mirror remained, standing silently in the courtyard, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion, never truly occurring.
………………
In this ancient time, within the city of Zhongyuan...
Just then, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the space in front of them, flashing continuously as if it were illuminating the entire world.
Accompanied by the blinding light, a deafening "boom" resounded.
Then, a scene that left Pei Yunjing and Pei Nanxing speechless unfolded—several huge trucks appeared out of thin air in front of them.
Grandpa Fu and Xiao Ba followed closely behind and appeared in Pei Yunjing's sight.
The sudden scene took Pei Yunjing by surprise. His eyes widened, his heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily staggered back a few steps.
After he calmed down, looking at the enormous trucks in front of him, he was still shaken.
She secretly rejoiced that she had heeded her grandfather's earlier instructions and stepped back in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
If he had gotten any closer, he and the Southern Imperial Uncle would probably have been crushed to death by this giant object falling from the sky!
After calming down a bit, Pei Yunjing took a deep breath and tried to stay composed.
Then he strode quickly to Old Master Fu, his face full of excitement, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, and asked:
"Grandpa, are these the magical tools you mentioned that can extract groundwater?" she said, pointing to the trucks parked not far away.
However, upon hearing his question, Old Master Fu looked helpless, giving Pei Yunjing the same look one would give an ignorant child, and shook his head as he slowly explained:
"Silly boy, these aren't tools for extracting groundwater! These are just trucks used for transportation. The real water-collecting equipment is all inside the trucks!"
After saying that, Grandpa Fu raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Ba, who was flying to the side: "Xiao Ba, turn on the radio channel!"
As soon as Xiao Ba was slapped, the eyes that were originally displayed on its screen instantly turned into a dizzy expression, which looked quite funny and cute.
At the same time, its flexible mechanical arm quickly retracted into its body, and then a long antenna slowly rose from the top of its head.
It mechanically replied, "Grandpa Master, the radio channel is now on!"
Suddenly, a childish voice came from inside the phoenix bronze mirror:
"Wow! Hachiko is so amazing! He can even turn on the radio!" Her eyes shone with admiration.
It turned out that she had been worried about her grandfather and couldn't fall asleep. When she came to the yard, she found that the trucks had disappeared and then looked at the phoenix bronze mirror.
Niannian then realized that the well-drilling team had been transferred to Yun Jing's place!
"Niannian, are you awake? Do you want to come with Grandpa to see the well being dug?" Grandpa Fu looked at his little granddaughter, who had just opened her sleepy eyes, with a loving expression and asked softly.
Upon hearing that she could go watch the well-digging, Nian Nian immediately perked up. She nodded vigorously, excitedly shouting:
"Yes, yes!!"
As she spoke, she moved the little stool under her bottom forward with all her might, looking incredibly cute.
Pei Yunjing, who had been quietly watching Niannian from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel delighted to see the little one so enthusiastic.
This little person always manages to easily touch his heartstrings.
Just then, Old Master Fu turned to look at Pei Yunjing, waved to him, and said loudly:
"Kid, go find a car and take our Phoenix Bronze Mirror to the border. My car is already full of people, there's no more room!"
Indeed, these vehicles were full of technicians heading to drill wells, and there was simply no extra space to fit that phoenix bronze mirror.
Upon hearing Old Master Fu's words, the joy that had just ignited in Pei Yunjing's eyes vanished instantly, as if blown away by a gust of wind.
But he quickly regained his composure and smiled, replying, "Okay, Grandpa Niannian! Don't worry!"
He felt a little disappointed, thinking that Niannian still couldn't come and accompany him.
But for some reason, deep down, Pei Yunjing still secretly hoped that Nian Nian would appear by his side.
Time passed, about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...
Under Pei Yunjing's methodical command, a beautifully decorated carriage slowly set off, carrying a phoenix bronze mirror wrapped tightly in brocade, with only the mirror surface visible...
Through the reflection in the bronze mirror, Nian Nian saw several large trucks closely following behind her.
Grandpa Fu sat calmly in the driver's seat of the first truck, holding a walkie-talkie, giving serious and earnest instructions to the vehicles behind him:
"Everyone stay close to the group, don't get distracted! Let's try to get to our destination as soon as possible and start working!" Little Eight lay obediently in his arms...
The bodyguards sitting in the driver's seat couldn't help but feel a surge of intense curiosity.
In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place. The sight before them left them speechless, as if they had entered another world.
Many people here are dressed in extremely old-fashioned attire, as if they were ancient people who have walked out of the long river of history.
However, despite being filled with curiosity and doubt, these bodyguards managed to suppress their curiosity with their strong professional ethics.
At this moment, Niannian was resting her rosy cheeks on her hands, gazing intently at the scenery on the road through the exquisite bronze mirror.
The trees that should have been lush and leafy by the roadside were now just bare branches.
The earth seemed to have been torn apart, revealing deep and shallow, crisscrossing cracks.
Everything seemed to be silently telling the story that this place had been suffering from a severe drought for a long time.
As the convoy slowly drove through Zhongyuan City, the city's disaster victims were all attracted by this strange scene, and for a moment everyone's attention was focused on it.
They began to whisper and chatter amongst themselves:
"What...what is this thing?" someone asked, pointing at the truck ahead with a look of astonishment.
"Look, there's even a bronze mirror on that carriage! How strange!" another person exclaimed, speechless with surprise.
"Look at that large, moving block following behind. Is it also a carriage? But if there are no horses pulling it, how can it move on its own?"
More people joined the heated discussion, and various speculations and questions arose one after another.
……
Meanwhile, Pei Yunjing and Pei Nanxing rode tall horses, closely following behind the caravan. Behind them, a neatly arrayed platoon of silver-armored soldiers stood…
Sunlight shone on the silver armor, reflecting a dazzling light and making the whole team look even more imposing.
