Xue Ying got out of the carriage and grinned in pain while holding her back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoDespite the protective measures, the carriage was still inevitably bumpy, and after such a day and night rush, the iron man couldn't stand it.

But the good news is that this time after getting off the carriage, standing on the flat ground, not a towering precipice - the volley plank road is worthy of its name, and it feels like it is in mid-air all the way, full of dangers.

Her legs were trembling violently, and Xue Ying finally walked into the inn's room and lay on the bed with a long breath. I thought I could go on the road with the stove, but people didn't wait for her at all, and ran away on horseback, and she had to chase after her.

Someone knocks on the door and comes in. Raising her eyes and seeing someone coming, Xue Ying wailed, and pulled the quilt to cover her head in annoyance.

Cai Hua was startled: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It feels like I'm shooting myself in the foot." I knew that I wouldn't let Qiaoya spread rumors, it's really self-inflicted. She sat up, "Aren't you in Anjing City?" How did you get here? ”

"I sent Liang Duan to Anjing City and left, so I arrived here a day earlier than you."

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't you say you were coming to check the grain harvest in northern Xinjiang?" Cai Hua was inexplicable, "Do you know that this request is very capricious?" Why do I have to spend time with you? ”

"I don't need you to accompany me."

"I really didn't wrong you when I said you were willful. Do you know what the situation is like in northern Xinjiang? A girl is running around outside, and she doesn't know how she died. Cai Hua sighed, "Yao'er has become sensible, why did you regress?" ”

"How's your Yao'er? Not with you? ”

"She's in Anjing City."

"Aren't you afraid that Murong Jing will attack her?"

"Murong Jing is anxious now, and it is difficult to protect herself. Yao'er is with the county lord of Pingying, and it will be fine. ”

Oh, I almost forgot that Xue Yao and the super "best friend" of the county lord of Pingying. "So you're safe to go out and go out to satisfy your curiosity?"

Speaking of this, Cai Hua's expression instantly calmed down: "The situation in northern Xinjiang is more complicated than I imagined. ”

Of course, it's complicated, and it involves "gods".

"You went back to Ganxiao Temple this time, and you gained a lot, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because no matter how you look at it, you are not the kind of person who does not have long brains and runs north to take risks because of willfulness."

"Thank you for the compliment. I also don't think I'm the same person with you. The implication is that Cai Hua is the kind of person who doesn't have a brain and goes north to take risks because of his willfulness.

Cai Hua is already immune to her poisonous tongue: "Is it that the hidden king is not happy for you again?" Take me out? ”

Xue Ying touched her nose weakly.

"Let's go, let's eat."

"I'm not going, I don't have an appetite." Xue Ying was so tired that she just wanted to sleep.

"You don't eat, how can I introduce the situation in northern Xinjiang to you?"

"Huh?"

"Someone said that you can talk to you only when you are full, otherwise you will have a stomachache." Cai Hua clasped his hands around his chest and said meaningfully, "I just knew that your friendship with the Hidden King is already so 'deep'. ”

Xue Ying jumped up: "Let's go, let's go, exchange information." ”

………………

"What is the situation in northern Xinjiang? I have also consulted the information in Pangu Tower before, but most of them are vague, only saying that they are 'different from Dagu', but I haven't made it clear how 'different' they are. ”

"Northern Xinjiang is vast, but most of it is an arid Gobi desert, so it is far less prosperous than Dagu."

Xue Ying nodded: "I know this." ”

"But you can't imagine how harsh the climate is here. There is a saying in northern Xinjiang that "every ten years is doubled, and ten years are turned", which is roughly bounded by ten years, ten years of abundance, and ten years of disasters. The consequence of this climatic phenomenon is that when a good year comes, the population will explode, and when the disaster year comes, the population that had grown during the previous decade will die of famine on a large scale after the food can no longer be sustained. Cai Hua looked out the window, "The more I think about it, the more cruel I feel." ”

Xue Ying muttered: "It's like cutting leeks." Ten years of abundance is not a gift from heaven, but more like a conspiracy: in order to conceive more life, wait for the harvest of ten years of calamity. ”

It's an interesting analogy. It's also very apt. Cai Hua sighed, "After this period of in-depth understanding, I really don't approve of you coming to the north of Xinjiang, this muddy water, the closer you get, the more terrifying it becomes." ”

"Do you regret it?"

Cai Hua shook his head: "On the contrary, I feel that I am getting closer and closer to my mission. In the past, I had no talent but nowhere to do it, and I knew that my flaw was that my fate was too smooth but I didn't know how to change it, but now I ...... It seems to have a little clue. ”

It can only be said that the peeps are freaks.

Xue Ying asked: "Is there anything else besides 'turning over in ten years and turning in ten years'?" ”

"And ...... People in northern Xinjiang are particularly fertile. Women generally give birth at the age of 12 or 3 years old, and the chance of having multiple births after the age of 15 is particularly high. You just said that 'turning over in ten years, turning in ten years' is like cutting leeks, and the fact that it has strong fertility is corroborated, right? ”

"In other words, a child born in the first year of the tenth year of the harvest will already become the main force of reproduction in the middle of the next decade of the disaster year?"

Cai Hua's face was particularly ugly: "But because of the lack of food in disaster years, many families often cannot afford to raise newborn children. Therefore, these babies have become the most tender 'leeks'. ”

Xue Ying's face was also pale: "This is hell." ”

Cai Hua opened the window and looked out the window: it was obviously dusk, and there were not many people on the street. This small city is close to Dagu, and the climate is much better than that of the central and northern parts of northern Xinjiang, and it can be regarded as one of the most prosperous places in northern Xinjiang, but even so, the scene is much more depressed than some small cities in the interior of Dagu. "I sat here yesterday for a day, and for the first time I took a serious look at the condition of other people living in this world."

Xue Ying listened quietly. Cai Hua continued: "I found that most of the children who appeared on the street were children under the age of 10. These young children do not come out to play, but to do business and trade, and behave like adults. At first, I thought it was funny, then I felt sad, and finally, I thought it was terrible. ”

"It is estimated that the next 10-year disaster year is less than three years away, which means that these children will have to fight for food three years later. They are now playing adults, and in three years, they will play beasts. ”

Cai Hua looked at Xue Ying: "Not only is there little record of Dagu about northern Xinjiang, but there is also very little news about Dagu in northern Xinjiang. For once these beasts know that there is a rich paradise on the other side of the mountain, the stability of the Great Solid will no longer be able to last. The mountain range behind you cut off the northern part of Xinjiang and Dagu, and also protected Dagu. ”

Xue Ying frowned slightly, and muttered: "That's why the volley plank road back then was destroyed?" "Emperor Taizu thought that opening up the volley plank road would help recover northern Xinjiang, but it was later proved that there was a huge hidden danger in it, so the volley plank road was destroyed again.
