Chapter 296: Speculation

Xie Ke looked at Qi Lu, and saw that there was no surprise on the young man's face, knowing that Qi Lu looked very arrogant, but he could see through people's hearts.

He naturally understood Ah Shan's thoughts.

also knows that Ashan's move has the intention of helping. Xie Ke thought that Qi Lu would stop it, after all, Ah Shan really didn't look like he liked the Wu Clan.

"Now that you've decided, follow along." Qi Lu finally said in a very calm tone, Ah Shan's face was happy, but thinking of his face, he couldn't help but retreat with low self-esteem, and tried his best to hide himself in the dark.

After Qi Lu finished speaking, he turned his head and instructed Lin Changyuan to find a robe for Ah Shan to wear, she went to the Wu clan with them like this, and before she entered the door of the village, she would be recognized at a glance. Lin Changyuan complained bitterly in his heart, but he never dared to shake his head about what his second master ordered, and finally Lin Changyuan borrowed a robe from a short guard, and personally cut the hem of the cuffs neatly, and then handed it over to Ah Shan.

Qi Lu twisted his eyebrows, Lin Changyuan was beating a drum in his heart, but Ah Shan took the robe tremblingly. Then he looked at Qi Lu gratefully...... "It's inconvenient here, you will be fine." Qi Lu finally said softly. Ah Shan nodded again and again, in her opinion, this robe was already excellent, she had never worn such a clean robe since she was a child.

Xie Ke looked at the red leaves beside him, and the red leaves understood.

Although he felt that his father and wife were too good to this ugly girl, Lin Changyuan could personally cut the robe for this girl, and she just led the girl to clean up, which seemed to be nothing.

"Miss Ashan, please come with the slave maid. The slave maid helped the girl change her clothes. ”

Ah Shan's face was apprehensive, and in the end, Qi Lu nodded to her, and she hung her head and left behind Red Leaves.

"The second master really wants to bring Miss Ashan with you?" Only then did Yan Nan ask.

In Yan Nan's view, bringing Ah Shan is actually quite risky. He really thought about it just now, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was appropriate. Ah Shan said that he was driven to the Boundary Mountain by his clan, and Ah Shan's expression was obviously shrunk when he mentioned the Wu Clan.

Yan Nan couldn't help but wonder, was it the Wu clan who expelled Ah Shan from the house? If it is a witch clan, they will walk with Ashan. Wouldn't it displease the Wu clan?

The people of the South are unpredictable. If one of them is not right, it will backfire, and it will be bad.

"Naturally. Since she wanted to go home, we took her with us. Qi Lu said indifferently. A family word made Yan Nan feel that he was too worried. The second son of Qi is obviously like a mirror. If only he knew what he was doing. “…… Brother Qingqian said that the Wu clan had several problems. What is left but to make the old tree grow new branches? ”

Since Qi Lu had decided to take Ah Shan with him, Xie Ke didn't think much about Ah Shan.

Qi Lu entered the southern border first. Naturally, he knew more about Nanjing than she did, and since he felt that he could bring Ah Shan with him, why should she doubt him. With that kung fu, it is better to think about how to deal with the 'test' of the Wu clan'......

"See that sitting on the mountain? According to the Wu elders, the mountain is very magical, no matter what is planted on the mountain, the harvest is very rich, but there is one point, every rainy season, the flood in the mountain will burst the embankment. No matter what was planted, it was ruined. And the strange thing is that the flash flood always has no year and no year, and the second topic of the witch clan is...... How to prevent flash floods from washing away the food and herbs planted on the mountain, and find out why flash floods break out once a year. ”

Xie Ke looked at the mountain in the direction of Qi Lu's finger.

It's a little far away, and it is not really true, but it is not difficult to see that the whole mountain facing her is indeed different in color, and there are deep and shallow under careful debate. The dark ones are mostly green, while the light ones seem to have an earthy yellow color.

"Are those dull yellow traces left by the flash flood?" Yan Nan looked at the mountain, and then asked. "Exactly." Qi Lu nodded.

"What does Sister Bao think? What do you think? Qi Lu couldn't help but smile when he saw Xie Ke beside him looking carefully. In fact, it was a great joy for Qi Lu to see Xie Ke, although it was inevitable that she would be upset because of her self-determination at first sight.

But after the initial anger, the rest of my heart was full of joy.

The little girl takes her daughter very seriously, but she can't bear to entrust her daughter to others to come to the south to find him, which shows how important he is in her heart.

How could he not like it?

"Since the flash flood will come every other year, there must be some mountain spring water source in the mountain...... It may take two years of rain to burst the levee...... Maybe the rain has its own place, but sometimes it rains a little more, so it washes away the grain fields of the Wu Clan...... All it takes is for the Wu clan to send a clansman who is familiar with the terrain to find it carefully. Not on the ground, but underground...... The water leaked out naturally, indicating that there must be an outlet. As long as you find it, you will have the answer. Xie Ke thought about the truth that her little uncle Chu Ye had taught her before.

The so-called full moon is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows.

Since a flash flood broke out and destroyed the grain fields, this is naturally the case.

Qi Lu nodded. In fact, when the Wu Clan Elder told him these words, he vaguely knew the crux of the problem in his heart.

However, if the solution is given immediately, it is difficult to show the difficulty of this problem. Therefore, Qi Lu only looked around these days, and did not tell the Wu clan elders the answer.

"What the young lady said is reasonable. Presumably, the connection with the outside world is extremely secret, and the Wu clan has been searching for it for several years to no avail, so it will be used as a topic to test the second son. ”

"What the head of the Yan family said is very true, and I think the same way, so I want to finish the rest of the questions, and then go into the mountain in person." The people of the South are timid by nature, and they are especially superstitious about ghosts and gods. They felt that the reason why the mountain was rich was because of the blessing of the ancestors, and that it would be washed away by a flash flood every other year, which was also the responsibility of the ancestors, that is, they knew that there would be a flash flood this year, and they were never lazy on the mountain.

But this is not enough to make ends meet.

In the end, the Wu Clan Elder decided to take this matter as a test......

"When the time comes, I will go with the second son." Yan Nan said aside. Qi Luding glanced at Yan Nan, and then nodded indispensably...... Xie Ke was about to speak, and the next moment, Qi Lu had already said coldly. "You are not allowed to go with you, wait for me in the stockade obediently."

Xu felt that his tone was too harsh.

Qi Lu couldn't help but peek at Yan Nan, and saw that Yan Nan was carefully looking at the mountain.

Only then did he whisper in Xie Ke's ear. "We'll have to go and drill a hole, it's dirty, and you stay in the stockade obediently. We'll be able to leave when we get back...... I don't want my pretty little daughter-in-law to be a black mess...... My little daughter-in-law is still clean and beautiful. ”

The last sentence naturally made Xie Ke blush and shy. (To be continued.) )
