Chapter Twenty-Three: Substitute for the Dead
Even if it is wrong, there is no reason for the holy decree to change every day, the banks of the Darong River are still full of people coming and going, but the atmosphere is very dull, except for the sound of all the footsteps, there is only the sound of buckets flowing into the river, even if there are still people falling, and there are new dead people floating on the surface of the Darong River, there will be no more people screaming and screaming like before, everyone has become accustomed to such a normal.
All the people were strangers as if they were enemies, no one greeted them, no one spoke, and no one grieved for the dead.
Human nature is already frighteningly indifferent!
The morning sun has no temperature, the red oblique shines on the river, the wheat waves on both sides of the river are undulating, the morning breeze blows a large bamboo forest in Puhe Mountain rustling and swaying, no one praises what a good scenery this is, a corpse that has been swollen by the river, the corpse with blue skin floating on the river surface is clearly visible, the corpse at the place of the rolling dam can not be turned over, it has been densely piled up in a big pile.
Today, Pu Yi's family surprisingly did not come, and there was no one in the thousands of acres of wheat fields under Puhe Mountain.
The stunned man stood in the place where Pu Yi carried the water yesterday and measured the river and the bank with a marked bamboo knot, and he was already sweating profusely at this time, and a black girl with a thick layer of rouge next to him pulled her neck and shouted: "The owner of the village, I'm afraid it's not good, a rolling dam for ten miles, the water is blocked, but the flow speed can't keep up, even if we put the waterwheel here, there is not enough flow speed, and the waterwheel can't be moved."
Chu Xun, who was half white, frowned, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and jade belt next to him was older than him, and said: "If it is necessary, I will order someone to destroy the rolling dam."
Behind Chu Xun, a woman in a green saro skirt and a hairpin full of red hairpins pursed her lips when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is not good, the rolling dam was built by my father-in-law, if it wasn't for it back then, do you think Lord Qincha can transport grain to the capital smoothly?"
If you destroy it, our Chu Jiazhai will never participate in this matter again. Your Majesty, I, Chu Fengniang, am a woman, and I have no consciousness of caring about the life and death of the people in the world, and I have no responsibility or obligation to do anything for you. I only guarantee that the people in my Chujiazhai will not starve to death, and let Xianggong come back to see, his hard work is not in vain, and more than 3,000 people in Chujiazhai are alive and well."
"You girl still holds a grudge!"
Li Hongyi glanced back at Chu Xun: "Brother." You are going to say something, the things back then were originally a misunderstanding, and the things have been found out, it was Hu Guo's spy who put a secret arrow to assassinate Qiuping in Yizhou City back then, how long are you going to be sulking with me, if it weren't for the national disaster, you think I would like to come to see your cold face! ”
Chu Xun finally turned his head to look at him, but his rough face was still full of anger, and he said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of me Chu Xun." The big husband has something to do and something not to do, do you think that if it weren't for the fact that this is a major event related to the life and death of the people of the whole country, just with your face, I, Chu Xun, would go on this trip with you? Sue you, I'm not an idler."
The entire Great Rong Dynasty dared to talk to Li Hongyi like this, but Li Hongyi was not angry at all, there were definitely no more than three, and he was Chu Xun. It's one of them!
If nothing else, just by virtue of his Chu Xun's great military exploits for him Li Hongyi, and by virtue of his Chu Xun riding into the army of ten thousand troops on the Yunmeng Bridge, he was hit by a hundred knives and did not fall. Escorting him Li Hongyi's whole family is thoughtful, and it is even more important to save his life Li Hongyi several times, so he Li Hongyi has no reason to be angry with him!
Li Hongyi smiled stiffly, but a trace of warm relief flashed in his eyes, he was still the brother who fought together back then, although Chu Xun had a hard mouth. But he knew that when he Li Hongyi personally appeared in Renfeng Tower last night, the misunderstanding caused by the missing Jia Rennan was no longer the mustard in his heart.
Zhang Daniu and Yin Yina in the distance walked back with bamboo poles, Zhang Daniu has grown a lot taller than last year, it seems that he is really studying seriously this year.
Walking up to Li Hongyi, he immediately said clearly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that our Chujiazhai really can't do anything about this matter, you see, if the rolling dam is destroyed, the flow rate of the water will be raised, and it can also drive the waterwheel to rotate, but if you think about it, in this way, the water surface will drop by at least one to two zhang, and our waterwheel will lift water by one to two zhang at most.
Not only that, but if the rolling dam is destroyed and the water is released, the drought will continue and the river will dry up, and I am afraid that I will not know where to pick up the water if I want to! In my opinion, fortunately, this rolling dam was built last year to prevent drought and flooding, otherwise, I am afraid that the drought will definitely be worse! ”
Zhang Daniu's remarks were completely analyzed from a technical level, and Li Hongyi was not a fool, and as long as he made a little bit of adjustment, he would not be able to figure out where he could figure it out.
I saw him glance at the dreary Darong River again, and said with great regret: "The military advisor said, a game is broken, the bureau is broken, if this game is not broken, I am afraid that the people will suffer later, brother, if it is really as the military advisor said, when the world is in chaos, how about you ride the jujube red horse named Chasing the Wind to escort my family back to Yunmeng County?" ”
"Good!"
Chu Xun didn't look at him, the river wind blew his wide robe fiercely, but he just stared at the miserable Darong River, and the sadness on his face became a little more solemn.
Li Hongyi took a step forward, stood side by side with him, and suddenly burst out laughing, and his voice shook the water of the entire Darong River with ripples several feet high: "I, Li Hongyi, have this brother in this life, and I am very lucky!" Luckily! ”
Chu Fengniang didn't understand the story between these two men, glanced at the backs of the two of them lightly, and said for no reason: "If Xianggong is here, he will definitely have a way!" ”
Chu Xun answered: "Yes! Rennan will definitely have a way! ”
However, at this moment, a carriage with the logo of Fangfu stopped in front of the gate of Pufu in Changhe Lane, and the people in the car did not get down, and the coachman who drove the car knocked on the gate of Pufu.
It was Aunt Cao who came out to open the door with a happy smile on her face.
She took the fold and was about to ask who was visiting, when the coachman took out a fold and immediately explained: "Give it to your master!" ”
After saying that, the coachman returned to the carriage cleanly, raised his whip and whipped it in the air, and the carriage ran away.
Turning a street, I saw the people in the carriage lifting the curtain and sticking out their heads to look in the direction of Pufu.
At this time, a woman's voice with a bit of cruelty sounded in the carriage: "Dad, kill the Pu family, I don't want to see Pu Suhua's smug face for a day, hum The day before yesterday, my daughter came to her to learn the piano, she dared not to teach, anything, and dared to put up a fight with you!" ”
Fang Qin, who retracted his head, smiled kindly: "Don't worry, in a few days, the Pu family will be beheaded all over the house!" ”
"Hee-hee, really?" Fang Cheng smiled happily, "Dad, what did you ask someone to hand to his master's fold?" ”
Fang Qin said: "For the dead ghost!" (To be continued.) )
