At this moment, it is almost dusk, and it is dark early in winter, and everyone after eating a full meal is not strong, looking at the wasteland covered with ravines in a daze.

Perhaps in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the soil fertility here was artificially destroyed, and the saline-alkali land became more and more serious, this wasteland was visually measured to be nearly 100 acres, and the villages were scattered in the distance.

The work of digging tunnels is too laborious, and the results of these ravines in one day have not yet been discovered.

Is this the end of the day? There are still so many women in the county government who are being cared for, and the people in the villages do not dare to go home to live alone.

What's more, the bandits didn't say that they would sleep at night, and they would never come out to harass the people, maybe they were hiding in some corner at this time and gritting their teeth, and they were very happy to blow up, dig and flood their tunnels......

"Find lamp oil, light torches, we must fight the bandits tonight!" Hu Xianling's brain is not confused at the critical moment, even if he doesn't get anything tonight, it doesn't matter, as long as the big guy is still here, the bandits won't be able to give birth to new demon moths!

Not to mention that this Hu County Order has some skills, the thieves are indeed not far from ten of the eight or nine that he guessed, and the green smoke that choked from the first wisp to the throat was lit, and the "Touching Jin Captain" did not dare to be careless, they quickly retreated along the tunnel, and blocked the corner of the smoke in an orderly manner.

It's a pity that this time the counterattack came too violently, and it was soon replaced by an earth-shattering explosion, which was fortunate that the thieves ran fast, and their rickety bodies seemed to be born so clever in the tunnel.

Retreating to the lair can finally take a breather, it is estimated that no matter how powerful the opponent is, he will not be able to find here. But the crowd was full of voices, and they could still detect that the opponent had changed the water again. Water is a seamless thing. No one can guarantee that mounds of dirt or lime will block all the passages.

Thankfully, it was finally dark, and the bandits were planning to take advantage of the darkness to retreat to the ground, and although they were used to breathing underground, what their opponents were doing today made them frightened.

At this moment there was no one in the villages, as if all of them had evaporated from the world at once, except for the burning of torches on the undulating dirt slopes of the vast wasteland.

"It's a pity that the gunpowder won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, otherwise I really want to blow up this whole land!" Hu Xianling gritted his teeth again and whispered. After a busy day, his gums were getting more and more swollen.

"Now we have to conserve our strength, and as soon as the bucket is out of our hands, everyone will be on the spot and close their eyes and rest." The county lord's voice became more and more gentle, and only those who were familiar with her knew that the more gentle it was, the closer the county lord was to the limit of his madness.

The water from the creek is still pouring into the tunnel, and this time the direction has been changed, and the house will not continue to be poisoned.

A flash of fire was found in the distance, and it seemed that a lot of people were rushing in the chaos. Everyone was nervous at this moment, and they didn't even dare to act alone.

"Could it be that the bandits went to the county seat? Now come back and destroy us? A man was guessing in a hoarse voice. At this time, it is easiest to be a soldier.

"Your bandits will carry torches to kill us? Looking at the way they dug up the wasteland, you know that there is no man with a good reputation among the bandits, they will only secretly play black hands, and it is absolutely impossible to hold torches openly! ”

The man who answered was intelligent, and received the appreciative glance of the county lord.

Just like darkness can't permanently expel light, just like evil will eventually be defeated by justice, evil things are always afraid of being exposed in front of people, and those who come with the light are the hot-blooded men in Zhuyang County!

The sound of explosions during the day had already aroused the enthusiasm in their chests, and if it weren't for the county commander's wife ordering her to close the city gate tightly, and the men in Zhuyang County were grouped to constantly patrol the city to protect the safety of the city, they would have come out a long time ago.

There are constantly going back to report the news to Zhuyang County, and all the people are now looking forward to catching the bandits and rescuing the captive women earlier.

Since you haven't been able to find the bandits for a busy day, you can't let the men outside the city fight tired, right? After being pleaded again and again, the county magistrate's wife, who was also worried, finally agreed to send a part of the young men to support.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Ah Yuan's face, because under the reflection of the torches, the two young people in the lead were very familiar.

If Cailian is here, you can compare these two people to see who is better.

That's right, it was He Cong and Hu Buyu who came in the lead.

"Dad, county lord, Mr. Qian, we are here to help you!" Hu Buyu's eyes shone in the light of the torches.

There is no teenager who does not desire the opportunity to be a hero, and the "shrinking turtle" is usually willing to sink when he is old, and I heard that Hu Buyu's talent surpasses that of his own father, and he has also worked hard in martial arts.

In fact, this is somewhat similar to He Cong, they are all good sons and daughters of civil and military all-rounders, but He Cong has brought a bit of evil because of his family background, and Hu Buyu is a standard righteousness.

"Sister Yuan, have you eaten? Cai Lian asked me to bring you a snack. He Cong said very calmly, first holding a small package.

"There are also cotton clothes and cloaks, dog skin mattresses, Cai Lian said that you will be ready to use this first, and if the ground is wet and cold, put on the mattress and rest for a while." Hu Buyu also has the task assigned by Miss Cailian, and it seems that these two men have just met with Cailian.

I don't have time to think about it at this moment, Ah Yuan is really a little tired, she is the only woman in the black man, and she doesn't need to be polite to anyone, the dog skin mattress is spread on a dry dirt slope, and the two legs are laid down flat, and the cloak is wrapped tightly.

The wind on a winter night is indeed cold to the bone, Zhang Dashan and Bazi are in the way, they say that those who practice martial arts are not afraid of the cold......

The infusion of new new forces has made it easier for the "warriors" who have formed a line to transmit water, and buckets of river water continue to fill the tunnels, and the sound of water seeping into the land and flowing can be heard in the ears.

"The water is flowing slowly, and it is still spin......ning back", the guard standing at the front shouted, and Hu Xianling and Lu Qianzong hurriedly followed to check.

Sure enough, as soon as the river water was poured in, it would go in without hesitation, but now, it was obviously sluggish, and a puddle of water had accumulated at the mouth of the tunnel......

What's going on? Bandits blocking the passage? Do you want to continue irrigating?

Mr. Lu Qian didn't know what was going on today, since he ate the county lord's barbecue, he began to blindly believe in the county lord, and at this moment, he rubbed his waist and came to Ah Yuan's side again.

Hu Xianling also took a few steps closer, and his shrewdness was that he respected the county lord's opinion from beginning to end.

The dirt slope where Ah Yuan was located was the highest, and at this moment she was also looking around, combined with the dark and exposed tunnel ravines on the ground, tracing with one finger......

If the tomb robbers want to find the treasure, it is definitely impossible to dig a random place, and the name of "Captain Touching Gold" has been passed down for so many years, and every ravine may have been carefully designed and calculated......

Before Mr. Lu Qian and Hu Xianling could speak, they were stopped by A Yuan's gesture, her fingers were still drawing, and there was still a main line in these ravines and ravines!

Like a black dragon, its body is lying on the wasteland, and the diagonal forks on both sides are the dancing claws on the dragon's body......

The thinnest and farthest tail is the first discovered tunnel that is intended to lead to the unfinished tunnel in Zhuyang County, so where is the dragon's head?

"You guys—come and see!" Ah Yuan's voice trembled a little, and his body felt chills under the cloak.

Hu Xianling and Lu Qianzong hesitantly stood on the dirt slope, their eyes followed Ah Yuan's fingers, tracing again and again......

"This is a poisonous insect with countless vicious claws, constantly digging and adjusting the direction, and finally found the destination, which is - the head of this poisonous insect!"

In the cold winter night, Ah Yuan's voice was soft, but the four men around him immediately understood the meaning, they had just stopped when the water had reached the farmer's house, in fact, that place was the most important!

No one knows that there is a tomb underneath that place, and it is naturally possible that someone built a house on it after many years, maybe the family actually lived quite happily, but they didn't know that there were white bones under their feet, and there were many dangers......

Mr. Lu Qian's voice was raised suddenly, and the people who had practiced kung fu roared like a lion: "The Li of Qijiazhuang is coming over quickly!" ”

It turns out that this is Qi Ayuan's hometown, I don't know if the predecessor missed this place before leaving, and now the old place is revisited, if the real Qi Ayuan knows, there will be some emotion, right?

A half-grown old man stumbled over, to be honest, the village of Qijiazhuang is definitely not rich, because Master Lizheng, as the supreme governor, looks dilapidated.

"Which house does this house belong to at the entrance of the village?" Hu Xianling pointed to the "dragon head" and asked.

"That's it-Xu Laohan's house, his daughter, the first one who can't be found!" Li Zheng's voice trembled a little, in addition to the cold, but also because of an inexplicable panic in his heart.

is the old man who once said that he wanted to blow up his daughter in the tunnel, and now he has sold his daughter to the county lord.

Ah Yuan shook his head, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

"Please go and tell Xu Laohan, I bought his property, it will be flooded in a while, and it may involve other families later, don't be afraid, when the matter is over, I will give them a sum of money, and they can take their families to a better place."

If the faucet continues to spread, Ah Yuan doesn't mind buying this village, what is the poor half-dead place still lingering, and if it is completely transformed, it may be possible for the salted fish to turn over...... (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you pei007 for correcting the problem of lime washing with oil, it has been changed, it's really good!
