Chapter 435: Killing Chickens and Collecting Eggs

With Zhong Wuyan and her brothers in Shizhai here, the officers and soldiers who forcibly seized their property did not dare to go back, and the townspeople lived a simple life, and soon forgot their worries, and Chenhe Town returned to its long-term peace and tranquility. However, this is the case, in the mountain gorge outside the town, the wide Xuan River is making monstrous waves.

On the tumbling surface of the river, the waves rolled up layer by layer, rolling up the sediment on both sides and at the bottom of the river, staining the water turbid. The river surged violently and mightily, until it reached the Yellowstone embankment at the end of the basin, shattering into snow-white spray.

It was getting dusk, the light of the sun was dimming, and two people with mysterious breaths stood quietly on the bank of the river, staring at the surging Xuan River with expressionless faces. "When the ice melts in spring, the turbulence of the water potential is even more serious than imagined." Among them, the slender man with the appearance of an upright young man said softly. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and there was still a hint of immaturity in his soft voice. With jet-black hair combed under his ears, he was dressed in plain white clothes and carried a medicine box on his shoulder, looking like a pharmacist. "The situation is to be expected, it's just that we found out that Xuanhe was discovered too late......" said another tall figure in an unusually hoarse voice.

He wore a red-striped black robe that covered his whole body, and under his dark red hair was a vulture and pale face, revealing two strange dark red pupils, staring at the waves that were constantly churning on the wide river. At this moment, several sturdy figures emerged from the earth-shattering waves, naked against the turbulent current, and swam desperately to the shore. Xu Fu blinked his dark red gaze, and knew from a distance that those people were empty-handed, so his expression was gloomy, and he didn't even want to say more, and with a single move, he let those who swam ashore retreat by themselves.

"I don't blame them, the Xuan River is too deep, the water is too fast, and it is really against the limit of manpower to go deep into the bottom of the river to find something." Bian Que looked at the gloom in the teacher's eyes and whispered comfortingly. Xu Fu didn't speak, but continued to look at the turbulent river. For a whole afternoon, they successively sent four groups of sturdy and brave sailors down to the river to explore the objects, but all of them returned in vain, and it took more than three hours to find nothing. Bian Que knew that if this continued, his teacher's patience would run out. "Teacher, what should we do next?" Bian Que looked at Xu Fu's dark red pupils hidden under his long hair, and asked softly, "Wait until tomorrow, will you continue to send more troops into the water?" ”

"No need, it's useless to continue sending that waste." "Shall we ...... Is it something else? Bian Que asked tentatively, he knew that in this matter, Xu Fu would never give up easily, and he would never give up until he found out if there was something he wanted under the Xuan River.

"Kill the chicken and get the eggs!" Xu Fu stared at the snow-white waves that stirred up on the embankment with red eyes, and said in a grim voice, "Blow up the embankment, drain the river, and then dig three feet into the ground to find an understanding!" "Damming and releasing water?" Bian Que's eyes froze, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "But there is a small town in the lowland under this embankment!" "If the embankment is blown up, such a large Xuan River will rush down, it will cause a flood and destroy the whole town—if such a big movement is made, the emperor and the queen will definitely be blamed." "Don't worry, the old emperor and Miyue are all coerced by me, I just turned the court upside down, and they may not dare to argue with me." Xu Fu said as he sank, turned around directly, and no longer looked at Xuanhe, as if he had already made a decision.

"In that case, we need to plan a schedule to blow up the levee, so that the government can notify it and give the townspeople enough time to evacuate to safety first." Bian Que thought for a while and said. Since Xu Fu was sure to do such a big thing, he must have made up his mind, and it was inconvenient for him to persuade, so he could only try his best to ensure the safety of civilians.

"No need to plan, let's do it tomorrow, we don't have much time. And this matter must not be known to the townspeople. Xu Fu turned his back to Bian Que and said in a low and grim voice, "The people in these small places are used to living a quiet life, and once they know that we are going to blow up the dam and release the river, it will definitely arouse public resentment." Boiling over in a short period of time will definitely affect the implementation of our plans. "Although I'm not afraid of them, I can't cause those troubles, and I can blow up the dam directly, which is the easiest and most trouble-free." "But if you blow up the levee and cause such a big flood, it will drown all the people in the town! That's thousands of lives! Hearing Xu Fu's words, Bian Que's whole person was stunned, and his eyes immediately changed, and he shouted excitedly. Bian Que, you are just too merciful. Xu Fu turned around, looked at Bian Que with an excited expression with dark red eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I've told you many times—"

"The world is cruel as it is, and mercy is a luxury. There are so many people in this world who are old, sick and die, and not every one of them can be taken into account. "But we're healers, teacher." Bian Que stared at Xu Fu's dark red gaze, tried to overcome the cowardice in his heart, kept himself from dodging, and said firmly, "Isn't it just to save lives and help the wounded, and to take care of people's lives and deaths?" "That was before! Being a healer is just who we are. Xu Fu said with the same gaze, "Now we must abandon this narrow identity and become a person who does great things." ”

"And if you want to achieve great things, you must not be confined to running from outside the town in a panic, running towards the town with a panicked look, and shouting as you run.

"Run for your life! Everyone, run for your life! "Hey, Wang Tiezhu, are you howling a hammer in a panic?" Zhong Wuyan grabbed the man's collar and dragged him to himself like a kitten and a puppy, and asked with a puzzled look, "Escape?" What kind of life are you running for? "Big hammer, big hammer, you can run too, Chen Hezhen is going to be finished!" Wang Tiezhu saw Zhong Wuyan in front of him, panting and saying with a frightened gaze, "Xu Fu is here!" It must be because we didn't pay the birthday gift, and he came to take revenge on us! "Xu Fu?" Zhong Wuyan was surprised, his brows slammed into a row, "He really came to harass Chen Hezhen in a way?" Damn it! ”

"Say, where is he, see if Lao Tzu doesn't hammer him to death." Zhong Wuyan asked angrily, no wonder she always felt that something was going to happen today, it turned out that Xu Fu really came to Chenhe Town, this kind of thing that others found to be wrong, she Zhong Wuyan would never bear it.

"He, he's on the mountain!" Wang Tiezhu was so frightened that tears were about to fall, and he just wanted to hurry up and call everyone to flee for their lives, but Zhong Wuyan grabbed him, and he had to say in a panic, "He was on the high mountain, and he sent someone to blow up the embankment, and all the water of the Xuan River fell down, and it was about to flood the town!" ”
