The Zhangjiawan Dam is located in Pu'an County, upstream of Luxi Town, and Mu Chenmo in the carriage watched the letter from the dark department.

Puzzled: "How can there be a county order in Luxi Town." ”

"Although it is called a town, the population has reached the county level, and the court will arrange officials to manage it, that is, last year, Luxi Town was separated from Pu'an County." Qi Yu replied.

Mu Chenmo nodded, and continued to read the next letter sent by the dark department: "The county order of Pu'an County is at the Zhangjiawan Dam, maybe we can see him." ”

Qi Yu nodded thoughtfully.

The carriage headed south and arrived at the Zhangjiawan Dam at noon.

As soon as the two of them got out of the carriage, they saw a group of shirtless men walking towards the dam with half-man-high stone bars on their backs.

Mu Chenmo glared at Qi Yu, he had to pretend to be an old man and an old woman, how could he come forward and talk to the dam.

And someone just looked left and right, and didn't receive any resentful gaze at all.

Just look at someone with long legs and walk forward: "Big brother, you also go to the dam." ”

The old man with a straw hat and a bamboo basket on his back turned his head.

"Yes, Zhao County's order said that as long as you have the strength, you can go to the dam, and when you are old, you can't carry the stones, we can pick up stones, boil glutinous rice, boil tung oil, and make as much effort as you can to build the dam."

Qi Yu, who had white hair and white beard, nodded straightly: "That's it, I came here with my wife and my dog to see if I could help." ”

"We have Zhao County Order in Pu'an County, which is really a virtue."

The old man took Qi Yu to the dam while chatting, picking up stones of different sizes and putting them in the basket on his back.

The corners of Mu Chenmo's mouth twitched secretly, and he was accosted by Qi Yu like this? That's how he got on the dam?

Luo Youning hugged Mu Chenmo's arm: "Mother, let's catch up with my father quickly." ”

After a mother's voice, I saw that the old lady who was helped was almost fallen.

Qi Yu, who was walking in front, turned his head after hearing it: "Son, the sun is big, your mother is not in good health, you help her get into the car first, and I will go back to the dam to take a look." ”

"Got it, Dad." Luo Youning, a simple man who was holding the old lady, replied happily.

After Mu Chenmo rolled his eyes in the carriage, he had to admire the ability of the two of them to enter the role at any time, and sighed, the drama spirit really did not become practiced overnight.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Qi Yu hadn't come back yet, Mu Chenmo opened the carriage curtain and looked out.

Luo Youning, who was sitting on the wheel of the carriage, was also uneasy, and looked in the direction of the dam vigorously.

"Son, you go to see your father on the dam, he is not in good health, don't have any more accidents."

Luo Youning nodded at Mu Chenmo: "Mother, I'll go back quickly, you always sit in the car and don't walk around." ”

Mu Chenmo waved his hand at Luo Youning and motioned for him to leave quickly.

With a pout, he really regarded her as an old lady, even if he Luo Youning was afraid that he would not be able to make ten moves under her.

Looking at Luo Youning's striding back of the meteor, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never pretend to be a woman when he went out to run errands in the future, if he pretended to be Qi Yu's son, the three of them would have gone to the dam a long time ago.

Mu Chenmo, who was bored, looked at the land that had been washed by the flood, the silt had been sunburned into loess, and the trees washed down by the flood were cleared to both sides of the road.

Everywhere it is proving that Zhao County Ling is saving himself with the people, and I don't know how the villagers who rushed to the flood are arranged, and whether the rice can be replanted in the late season.

"Hurry, hurry." A noisy female voice came.

A dozen women in a bun each carried a basket on their arms, and the smell of steamed buns wafted with them.

Mu Chenmo hurriedly got out of the carriage and stopped the woman who was headed: "Is this to deliver food to the people on the dam?" ”

"Listen to your accent, you're not local." Seeing Mu Chenmo's nod, the woman nodded and said, "No wonder I don't know, Mrs. County Ling took us women to cook and deliver food to the man who repaired the dam." ”

She spoke extremely fast and with a thick southern accent, and Mu Chenmo was dizzy when she listened.

By the time she came to her senses, the woman's procession had already jumped over the carriage, and Mu Chenmo caught up with the last woman and pleaded.

"When you get to the dam, help me urge my old man and son to come down quickly."

The woman who was pulled by her turned around, Mu Chenmo was surprised in her heart, at the age of about thirty, her face was fair and smiling, and her body was full of bookish breath.

"What do they look like?" The woman's voice was crisp and gentle.

Mu Chenmo hurriedly described to her the appearance and dress of Qi Yu and the others, and the woman pointed forward with her hand: "Is it them?" ”

Looking in the direction of the woman's finger, it was Qi Yu and Luo Youning, but who was the tall and thin man following him.

The woman who delivered the meal looked at the thin and tall Qi Qi Fu body: "Lord County Order." ”

Mu Chenmo frowned, how could Qi Yu have anything to do with the county order.

The three of them walked up to Mu Chenmo and the woman, and after Qi Yu exchanged a few polite words with the slender county commander, he helped Mu Chenmo into the carriage.

Mu Chenmo looked at Qi Yu suspiciously, and Qi Yu shook his head at her.

Until he arrived at the place where he landed, Mu Chenmo frowned and said: "What has been found on the dam, how can you get acquainted with the county order and are you not afraid of revealing your identity?" ”

"Zhao Xianling is my intentional befriend, our current identity is a businessman from the capital, let's see if we can find something to make a living."

After listening to Qi Yu's words, Mu Chenmo's forehead suddenly jumped: "I am afraid it will be inconvenient to act in the future." ”

Could it be that she has always been like an old lady in Pu'an County?

"From tomorrow, Luo Youning and I will go to the dam, and you will cook for the people on the dam with Mrs. County Ling, and we will check separately."

Hearing Qi Yu's arrangement, Mu Chenmo had to nod no matter how dissatisfied he was.

From that day on, Qi Yu and Luo Youning carried stones on the dam every day to pick up stones, while Mu Chenmo followed a group of women to steam buns and make big pot dishes.

Women in the south are not good at pasta, but Mu Chenmo, who came from the north, steamed a good bun, coupled with her politeness and good talk and not hiding her selfishness, she was quickly recognized by the women.

She also knew that the woman she stopped that day was Liu Xianglan, the county commander's wife.

followed the woman to the dam several times, and Mu Chenmo gave advice to Zhao Xianling and his wife.

"My lord, madam, if we can open a fire on the dam and cook, we will not only save effort, but also the men who work can eat hot meals, reducing accidents and risks on the road."

Mrs. Zhao sighed: "What you said is reasonable, but women can't ignore it." ”

"I'm older, and I'm really negligent when I follow my master all day long."

Mu Chen's ink black line, when a man is used to it, Qi Yu never restricts her, she really forgot about whether men and women give or receive kisses.

Zhao Xianling opened his mouth and sighed: "What Aunt Mu said makes sense, madam, you have broken the rules by delivering food every day, alas, I am useless." ”

"Master, you have done a good job, and the people praise you......" Liu Xianglan comforted.

The two blamed themselves and comforted each other, and the more they talked, the more affectionate their actions became.

Mu Chenmo hung his head in embarrassment, and he didn't leave.

Xindao, Zhao County ordered you to stage affection and not to show it in front of me, an outsider, and try to maintain the appearance of not seeing and not listening to incivility.

The county commander and his wife soured a stick of incense, turned their heads and saw Mu Chenmo standing aside, and the county magistrate's wife turned around and entered the back room in shame.

After Mu Chenmo's analysis, Zhao County Ling agreed to her proposal.

Mu Chenmo was finally able to go to the dam for a walk, and when she wasn't cooking, she followed Qi Yu with a basket on her back to pick up stones, surveying the terrain everywhere to find clues about the murder of the six people.

At lunchtime, a group of old men who picked up stones gathered around Qi Yu and said enviously: "My brother is happy, I am accompanied by my wife wherever I go." ”

Qi Yu glanced affectionately at Mu Chenmo, who was giving out buns to the men.

Turning his head to look at the old man who was talking to him: "Yes, it's hard to buy an old companion with money, what about my sister-in-law?" ”

"Alas, the dam was swept away by the flood when it collapsed." The old man's expression leaked sadness.

Qi Yu patted the old man's shoulder; "I heard that many people died at that time, as well as several officials of the imperial court."

The old man nodded, gesturing with his hand to the place where the sandbags were piled up at the dam.

"It was that gap that collapsed without warning, and the flood water rushed into the village and drowned many people, and the six officials who surveyed were swept away by the flood at once, and no bodies have been found until now."

comforting the old man, Qi Yu looked at the gap that had been blocked by sacks of sand and gravel, the water level had dropped, and the land washed by the flood had dried up, why hadn't the body been found yet.

Mu Chenmo walked over here with the food of the two, and the old men gathered together dispersed.
