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 roll 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!" ”

"Destroying the dam 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 - make such a big move, the emperor and Queen Mi will definitely blame it."

"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 make 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 kind." 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 stick to small sections!"

"But ......" Bian Que still doesn't give up, after all, it is thousands of lives.

"Shut up!" However, Xu Fu drank sharply and turned his gaze directly, he no longer had the patience to argue with his own benevolent apprentice about such a meaningless question.

"I have already decided, tomorrow at noon, I will blow up the embankment with gunpowder and drain the Xuan River!" Xu Fu said as a deep man, and walked straight towards the circuit, without stopping a step, leaving Bian Que still standing in place disappointed.

"Teacher......" Bian Que watched Xu Fu walk out ten steps away, and still called out boldly and softly.

Xu Fu still stopped, but he didn't look back, leaving only a stubborn back to Bian Que.

"Teacher, can I send someone to prepare a boat now to save people when the flood breaks out tomorrow?" Bian Que stared at him with heavy eyes and said almost pleadingly.

"Whatever you want." Xu Fu breathed for a long time before he spit out this sentence coldly, and then continued to walk forward.

But after only a moment of lifting his footsteps, Xu Fu stopped his figure again and said slowly in a cold and hoarse voice.

"Bian Que, you remember, your kindness will harm yourself sooner or later."

At the end of his words, Xu Fu walked all the way, away from the light and shadow of the setting sun, and never looked back.

And Bian Que stood alone in place, staring at the rolling waves on the Xuan River, and his complicated eyes were overflowing with a little happiness.

- The spring sun is not strong, but at noon, it is still dazzling. So all the brothers in the stone village lay on the sunny side of the street corner, and dozed lazily in the shadow of the earthen wall.

But Zhong Wuyan was lying on the earthen wall, facing the bright sun, basking in the sun while leisurely humming a little song.

It's still the simple and cheerful rhythm.

Living in Chenhe Town, they will always be able to live so leisurely.

However, the second fat fell asleep, but there was a low roar in his stomach, and then the whole person suddenly woke up, holding his stomach with a solemn face.

Obviously, he woke up hungry.

Sleeping next to the second fat, Da Hei and the third dog were also woken up after hearing the sound of the belly growling, and then saw the ear fat squinting his little eyes with a sad face, and they immediately understood.

"Hungry." The second fat looked at Da Hei and Sangouzi with wrinkled eyes, and spit out the word "hungry" concisely and clearly. Of course, he didn't stutter when he only said one word, but he looked like he had lost the strength to say one more word.

"We don't have anything to eat here." Da Hei glanced at him and said helplessly.

"I, I, I" Er Fat rolled his eyes in disappointment and stammered, "I...... Think, think, want to eat...... Meat...... Bun. ”

"But we don't have any money, so we can't eat meat buns." Da Hei said to Er Fat with a straight face, saying that Er Fat looked aggrieved, and he was so pitiful that he was about to cry.

"Early, early, early...... Earlier, before, before...... Snatch back that ...... the other day Five, five car money...... When, when, when, I hid it secretly...... Hide a few pieces of it, a few gold coins......" Er Fat stammered bitterly, thinking that if he had so much money at that time, he would definitely not be found if he secretly took a little, in that case, he would definitely have money to eat meat buns now.

As soon as the third dog heard it, he knew what Er Fat wanted to say, and immediately quickly covered Er Fat's mouth and asked him to stop talking.

"Don't talk about it, stammering and talking so much - the boss is on the wall, she'll be angry if she hears it."

"Don't think about money every day, the boss doesn't like money, so we can't withdraw money!"

The third dog deliberately suppressed his voice and said in the ear of the second fat, and only after telling him not to speak again did he withdraw his hand.

The second fat closed his mouth pitifully, held his stomach in his hands, and continued to be hungry. He also knows that the boss hates money, and they shouldn't always worry about it. But he really couldn't figure it out in his heart, why did the boss just get along with money? So that more than 100 of them have to go hungry all the time.

Although Da Hei and Sangouzi didn't say it, they actually had the same doubts in their hearts, but they didn't understand whether the boss's stubbornness was wrong, or their thoughts about money were wrong......

Although the boss never touches money, there is always a way to maintain everyone's life, and she will take everyone to exchange their labor for living goods, but they don't need money. Although he occasionally goes hungry, the boss will definitely make everyone eat every day. So sometimes when I think about it, life doesn't have to be money......

And listening to the little song humming softly by the boss, the simple and happy rhythm really makes people feel comfortable and satisfied.

But gradually, the sound of the little song stopped. Zhong Wuyan stretched his waist, climbed up from the earthen wall, and then loudly beckoned to the sleeping brothers.

"That's it! Wake up, brethren! Let's go to dinner! ”

"Rice! Rice! Rice! As soon as he heard that he was going to eat, the first fat man jumped up vigorously, shouting the word "rice" vigorously, his eyes were shining, and his mouth was full of saliva, "Old, boss...... Eat, eat, eat...... What to eat? ”

At this time, the rest of the more than 100 people also quickly got up, obviously they were all hungry, but they were not as exaggerated as Er Fat.

"Well, today I'm going to take you to the mountains to hunt wild game - let's catch a wild boar and roast it to eat!" Zhong Wuyan stood on top of the two-meter-high earthen wall, glanced around the big guy, and said loudly.

"Roast, roast, roast, roast - roast suckling pig!" The second fat eye suddenly flashed brightly, and a long saliva instantly dripped from his whole mouth, "Eat, eat, eat...... Roasted, roasted...... Roast suckling pig! ”

Hearing Zhong Wuyan's words, the other more than 100 people also cheered, although they hadn't even gone out of the town yet, they seemed to have smelled the strong aroma of barbecue, and everyone's spirits were lifted at once.

So no more nonsense, Zhong Wuyan lifted the big hammer he carried with him with one hand, raised his voice, and led everyone towards the mountains outside Chenhe Town, at this speed, at most two hours, they could have a big meal of roast pork in the mountains.

The brothers in Shizhai were all very excited and ran on the streets with joy, but Zhong Wuyan, who was walking in the front, had a little anxiety in his eyes.

I don't know why, she always feels that there is a feeling of unhappiness today, and she feels that her heart is inexplicably blocked. That's why she couldn't sit still in the town, and wanted to take everyone to the mountains to hunt wild boars for a big meal, be happy, and rush to the depression in her heart.

But even after taking everyone on the road, she still felt a sense of anxiety in her heart, thinking that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it. So she had no choice but to resist her mood and change her gaze to look into the distance, trying to settle down.

They walked all the way to the entrance of Chenhe Town, and when they were about to leave the town, they saw a young townsman running from outside the town in a panic, running towards the town with a panicked expression, shouting as he ran.

"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!" ”

"The flood is coming! Chenhe Town is about to be flooded! ”

As soon as Wang Tiezhu's words came out, everyone present was shocked, they knew too well that they had lived in Chenhe Town since they were children, they knew how big the water of the Xuan River was, how high the drop between the river and the town was, and how terrible the flood would be once the embankment was destroyed.

So a deep fear emerged from the bottom of their hearts, drowning all their eyes like water, and Zhong Wuyan's hand subconsciously let go. Wang Tiezhu immediately bypassed her and hurriedly ran to the town.

"Run for your life! Everyone, run for your life! The dam was blown up by Xu Fu, and the flood of the Xuan River is coming! ”

In a short time, great fear overcame the whole town, and everyone became terrified, and while packing up their belongings, they hurried out of the town.

However, Zhong Wuyan and the brothers in Shizhai who were standing at the entrance of the town were all frozen on the ground, completely shocked.

At the end of their slightly raised gaze, they had already seen the monstrous waves surging down from behind the mountain, swallowing the heavens and the earth towards the tiny town of Chenhe.
