Coming out of Lingzhou City, Asu's little head has been hanging outside the carriage window, as if his eyes can't see enough, and he chats with Uncle Chen who is driving the car outside while watching. It's no wonder she's so curious, she's been here for more than half a year, and this is the first time she's out of the city.

From ancient times to the present, everything has changed, but the geography of mountains and rivers has always existed, and although the names change, they can be roughly recognized from the description. So Asu started from here, and chatted with Uncle Chen all the way about customs, geography, mountains and rivers, and after this chat, she almost understood some specific geographical location information.

The current Lingzhou should almost be the location of modern Ningxia Lingwu, this area, has always been known as the south of the Yangtze River, different from other water-scarce northwest regions, there are many lakes and wetlands nearby, so it is also an important grain production area in the northwest.

Aso felt more and more that this superior geographical condition could completely expand the cultivated area, and since it was a rich plug in the south of the Yangtze River, it should not be difficult to find a water source. Speaking of which, Uncle Chen also took the initiative to recommend a few places, he said that he had always wanted to persuade the master's family to build a new canal, and today he finally achieved this plan under Asu's suggestion.

At noon, the group arrived at the Li Family Grange, which was dozens of miles outside Lingzhou City, where there were more than a dozen people working on the village and built four or five farm yards. The yard is opposite a large piece of farmland with an unobstructed view, Chen Bo said that this piece is the sixty percent of the output, and the rest of the location is a little off, the old canal has not led to it, so half of it is idle, and half of it has become wasteland.

At this time, it is the end of autumn, the fields should be harvested, in the slack season, the people in the Zhuangzi are fed with chickens and ducks, pigs and sheep are fed to feed horses, a leisurely pastoral scenery, which makes people feel happy.

Asu said to He Erniang and Uncle Chen that while the weather is not too cold now and the personnel are still idle, they should hurry up and repair the new canal, and the cultivation area can be expanded in the spring. He Erniang and Chen Bo also agreed.

After lunch in the village, Uncle Chen instructed someone to clean up the best of them for He Erniang and them to live temporarily. After a little trimming, He Erniang asked Xiaoju to continue to clean up and decorate in the yard. He Erniang, who couldn't stay idle, took Asu to follow Chen Bo to Zhuangzi to learn about the situation.

At this time, Uncle Chen brought three horses and said to He Erniang's mother and son, "He Erniang, little lady, I will take you to those idle fields and wastelands first, and the time to turn around is about the same, you just came today, just take a good rest, and tomorrow morning, we will go to the nearest few small lakes to see if there is a suitable water to draw." ”

He Erniang and Asu naturally readily agreed, and the three of them rode around the grange to check and discuss.

Li Guangbi was the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu in Lingzhou at that time, and he was quite the second-in-command figure in a place, so the Zhuangzi in this suburb was relatively large, and if it had to be reclaimed, it would take at least thirty or forty strong men. He Erniang discussed with Uncle Chen, took advantage of the canal to gather some more people to come over, and then selected some of them to stay in Zhuangzi directly.

After turning around, He Erniang was also tired, and shouted Asu to go back, but Asu came out for the first time, and the freshness had not passed, seeing that it was still early, he said that he wanted to ride a horse and turn around again, and he didn't want Uncle Chen to accompany him, he just wanted to relax in the good place of lakes and mountains. So he asked Chen Bo where the nearest lake was?

"From here to the south, there is a Hongshan Lake, it takes less than half an hour to ride a horse, the little lady wants to go over, and it is almost the same for an hour to go back and forth." Uncle Chen thought for a while and replied.

Asu looked at the sky and felt that it was estimated that there would be an hour and a half before it was dark, so he said coquettishly to He Erniang, "A-Niang, let me go over and take a look, it's not far away." "After that, it's blinking and selling cuteness, and it's pouting.

He Erniang originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Asu's coquettish appearance for the first time, she was a little soft-hearted, and asked Uncle Chen that there had been no bandits here, and the road in the past was also straight, so her attitude softened, so she advised, "You can just ride over, take a few looks, and then come back, don't get off the horse and wander around, we will go tomorrow anyway, you can see it when the time comes, okay?" ”

Asu was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said to He Erniang, "Thank you A-Niang, A-Niang, in fact, you can rest assured of me, don't forget, I learned kung fu from my second cousin and Brother Hui,"

"Haha, just your three-legged cat kung fu, forget it. If you want to go quickly, go early and come back early. He Erniang couldn't help laughing twice, then waved her hand and said.

Aso got the order, and rode his horse with a "---" to find a happy time alone.

After walking along the road for a short time, Aso saw a hillside going up, could it be that this lake was still on the mountain? Continuing to walk forward with the suspicious Asu, the road became wider and wider, and when he reached the top of the hillside, he instantly opened up in front of him, and a sparkling water surface rushed to his eyes.

This posture is quite a bit of a "high gorge out of the flat lake", this lake is higher than the surrounding area, there are rolling hills on the opposite side of the lake, Aso sat on a horse, facing the breeze blowing from the lake, and suddenly felt very happy.

When she looked into the distance, she saw a small boat a few hundred meters away, and just when the artistic conception of the poem "Yedu unmanned boat self-traverse" came out of her heart, she found that there was this unusual movement on the water not far from the boat, "It's not good, someone fell into the water!" Aso exclaimed and hurried over.

When he arrived, Asu jumped off the horse, walked into the water, and saw a man who fell into the water more than ten meters away from the boat, only his head was fluttering at this time, Aso was so anxious that he walked straight into the water, fortunately, Aso understands water, this is not far from the shore, and he doesn't know much effort, Aso always pulls the man to the shore.

Asu only looked carefully at this time, this person is in his thirties, his face is very thin, at this moment it is estimated that he is choking on water, and his face is pale in a coma, Asu still knows a little first aid when he falls into the water, so he quickly untied his collar first, and then hugged the man's waist, poured water with his head down and back up, and at this time really spit out some water from his mouth and nose.

But this guy is not awake yet, Asu thought to himself, the next step is only artificial respiration, but unfortunately it is not a young beautiful man who is saved, but a thin uncle, but there is no way, human life is at stake, and saving people is important.

Asu's heart was crossed, pinched the uncle's nose, took a deep breath, and leaned his face over.
