Time flies, and more than half a month passes.

The drought continues, and people in the most drought-stricken provinces have begun to flee.

The situation in Huaiyang Mansion is relatively better, because Lin Ruan and Shen Junwang managed to suppress the grain merchants in time, and because half of the prefecture and city are crossed by the river, although there is a shortage of water resources, it can still support the daily water needs of the people.

The situation in other provinces was already very serious, and the emperor even issued a holy decree to let the king of Shen County stay in Huaiyang Mansion to sit in the town, for fear that someone would take advantage of the drought to make trouble.

Seeing that the drought was getting worse and worse, Lin Ruan thought carefully and expressed his thoughts to King Shen Jun.

"Grandfather, I'm going to go out."

King Shen Jun wiped the sweat from his head and asked, "Where are you going on this hot day?" ”

Because of the shortage of water resources, King Shen Jun no longer let Lin Ruan make ice.

Lin Ruan took the fan and fanned himself vigorously, "I plan to find an empty and uninhabited place and use my ability to grow food." I can grow a batch of food in the shortest possible time, at least to ensure that the people can have food. ”

King Shen Jun was stunned for a moment, "You can still grow crops with that ability?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded, took out a sweet potato seedling that had been prepared a long time ago, and inserted it into a flower pot with moist soil in front of him.

The next scene made King Shen Jun unforgettable in his life.

I saw that the sweet potato seedlings that had been wilted by the sun instantly regained their vitality like chicken blood, became full of water, and then quickly pulled out the branches at an amazing speed, and in just a few breaths, they grew lush and very lush.

Lin Ruan in front of King Shen Jun, who had been completely petrified, grabbed the root of the vine and lifted it, and the whole sweet potato was uprooted.

The huge sweet potatoes were presented in front of King Shen Jun's eyes. King Shen Jun, who had been strict and old-fashioned all his life, even reached out to poke those large sweet potatoes a little childishly, obviously unable to believe what he saw with his eyes.

Lin Ruan pursed his lips and smiled: "Grandfather, everything you see is true. My ability to control animals is not only to control animals, but also to these crops. ”

In fact, in the dungeon of King Chu before, Lin Ruan told King Shen that he could also control plants, but at that time, all the attention of King Shen Jun was attracted by the kowtowing mouse, so he forgot about anything else.

King Shen Jun was surprised for a while, returned to normal, and said with a solemn face: "Ah Ruan, if this ability of yours is known to others, do you know what kind of trouble it will be?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded, "I know, and I also know that the decision I made today will easily expose my secrets. But I can't do it to see so many people starving to death. If the Great Zhou is in chaos, then the hard work of my grandfather and the ancestors of the Shen family for several generations will be in vain. So, I wanted to take a risk, and I would try to hide my abilities as much as possible. ”

You can't be too selfish.

God gave her a second life, let her have this ability, if she really only used it to live her own life, it would be a curse.

While this is likely to cause her trouble, she still doesn't want to sit idly by.

Do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

I hope that God can see that she has saved countless lives with her own ability, and can bless Xiao Jingchen and the sons of the Shen family to be safe and sound at the border.

King Shen looked at Lin Ruan for a long time, and then patted her on the shoulder: "Good boy, you are worthy of being the descendant of my Shen family." Okay, you just let it go, and if you need anything, just tell your grandfather. I'll cover for you. If your secret is really exposed, it will be my life, and I will protect you well. ”

Lin Ruan's heart was moved, and he opened his arms and hugged King Shen Jun, "Grandfather, I will definitely be fine." ”

King Shen patted her: "Good boy." ”

That night, Lin Ruan took a letter from King Shen Jun, prepared some dry food and medicine with him, and took Fei Fu and Luohua to Shenwu Mountain, preparing to ride the golden eagle to Lingnan.

When Fei Fu and Luo Hua saw the golden eagle become the size of a house, they were so frightened that their souls were almost gone, but they still didn't forget to stand in front of Lin Ruan and desperately protect her.

The golden eagle cried in dissatisfaction and flapped its wings.

The strong wind brought by the giant wings blew the three of them a little unsteadily.

Lin Ruan reprimanded the golden eagle, and the golden eagle was honest and stood there motionless.

Fei Yu was the one who knew some of Lin Ruan's secrets, swallowed his saliva, and returned to normal.

But Luohua was scared enough.

Lin Ruan smiled at the two of them, and asked them to fly to the broad back of the golden eagle with light skills.

Until the golden eagle flew into the sky with the three of them, Luohua was blown back to his senses by the evening breeze.

The sound of the wind in his ears and the pitch-black sky under his eyes let Luohua know that this was not a dream.

There were too many words I wanted to ask, but after seeing the eyes handed by Fei Su, I swallowed them all.

Before dawn, Lin Ruan and the three arrived safely in Lingnan.

Getting down from the back of the golden eagle, Lin Ruan greeted the morning light and said to the two: "This is my ability, Fei Yu noticed some of it a long time ago, but I didn't want to disclose it to you before. This time it's different, I've told you both my secret, and I hope you'll keep it for me. ”

The two glanced at each other, then solemnly knelt in front of Lin Ruan, each took out a box that he carried with him, took out a strangely shaped insect from it, stuffed it into his mouth in front of Lin Ruan, and swallowed it.

Lin Ruan was taken aback by the movements of the two, "What are you guys doing here?" What did you just swallow? ”

Fei Su smiled at Lin Ruan, "Don't worry, county lord, what we just swallowed is just a Gu worm, as long as we take the medicine within the specified time, this Gu worm will not have any effect on us." ”

Lin Ruan was stunned and asked, "What if I can't take the medicine after the time?" ”

Luo Hua said calmly: "The heart and internal organs were eaten by the Gu worm, so this Gu worm is called the Heart Devouring Gu." ”

Lin Ruan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of that picture, "You planted this Gu ...... Is it to prove to me that you will keep this secret for the rest of your life? Why are you so stupid? ”

Fei Su smiled and said: "County Lord, not everyone is qualified to cultivate Heart Devouring Gu, Luo Hua and I are very happy to be able to keep secrets for the county lord in this way." If the county lord thinks that we are unreliable one day, he can let the Gu worm solve the trouble for you. ”

Lin Ruan was really shocked, she really didn't expect that Fei Xu and Luo Hua would show their loyalty to her in this way.

"Who gave you this Gu worm? Xiao Jingchen? ”

The two nodded, "It was given to us by the prince before he left." County Lord, this is a Gu that can only be obtained by the most trustworthy person in the hands of the prince. The prince has confessed that as long as the county lord asks us to keep it a secret, we will obey it in front of you. ”
