Bai Qing didn't pay attention to Cheng Feng's strange gaze, and first went to inspect the farmland step by step, and when they came back from a circle, Qi Ke did temporarily settle the things she had just bought, and freed up her hands to entertain the guests.

Seeing Qi Ke again, Bai Qing felt a lot of emotion in his heart, who would have thought that Qi Ke was really Qi Ke?

But it is indeed better to stand in front of you alive than to hear the news of her death, and the little girl who has suffered so much should say goodbye to the dark past and start a new life.

Qi could see that Bai Qing was unusual, much more silent than before, and thought that he was tired from his busy official duties, so he didn't take it to heart at all, so he just warmly beckoned them into the house to sit and left them for lunch.

Bai Qing's reason for coming down was to inspect spring ploughing and spring sowing, which had nothing to do with Qi Ke, it was the task of the village chiefs to entertain her, so she only entertained one lunch, and chatted about the difficulties and problems encountered in spring ploughing and spring sowing at the dinner table, and then didn't care about the rest of the matter, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng stayed in the village until the afternoon, and talked about the same problem with more villagers, before ending the routine inspection in Siliu Village and leaving for the town.

From beginning to end, Bai Qing had a businesslike expression.

On the way back, Cheng Feng, who had been curious for a day, finally seized the opportunity to ask Bai Qing what was wrong today, feeling weird, and his attitude towards Qi Ke seemed to be cold all of a sudden.

Bai Qing didn't know how to answer, he now knew that Qi Ke was Qi Ke, his ex-fiancée who had already quit the marriage, could he continue to talk and laugh with the attitude he used to get along with Qi Ke?

Too frivolous.

But he can't tell others about this, there are already a lot of people who know the inside story, and there is no need to add a few more people, but Chengfeng is his brother for many years, and he can't help but respond when he expresses concern.

"It has nothing to do with Qi Ke, I'm thinking about something else."

"What's the matter? Keeps your face strained all day? ”

"Before I got to the town, I got bad news, and the people of the capital began to flee south."

"Huh?" Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts really followed Bai Qing, leaving the question he just had just now, "Beijing? How come?! Other cities are starving to death, and the capital can't collapse! ”

"Because the capital is also dry, do you know the Jiming Mountain outside the capital?"

"I know, the mountain spring water ......" Cheng Feng suddenly reacted without speaking, his mouth opened wide in astonishment, the cold wind poured into his throat, and his throat and eyes suddenly became dry, "Is the mountain spring water of Jiming Mountain dry?" ”

"Hmm."

"It is said that the water veins under the capital come from Jiming Mountain, the mountain spring is dry, and the people in the city have no water to eat, no wonder even the people of the capital have to flee south, what about the palace?"

"I don't know, I just know that the people of the capital began to flee."

"So what are we going to do to prepare?"

"Yes, although we are located in the easternmost part of Heyang Prefecture, it is difficult to say whether there will be displaced people all the way east to our territory, inform the village chiefs to strengthen patrols to pay attention to safety, pay attention to strangers, and do not let the displaced people touch the farmland and destroy the crops."

"Yes."

"There is another matter, I was originally going to send a unified document to you, but now it doesn't hurt to talk to you first. The scribes rummaged through the old files this winter, and after clearing and verifying, they found that most of the days when the pirates went ashore were concentrated in the summer harvest and autumn harvest, and the pirates needed food. ”

"They need food, so they go ashore to kill and rob?" Cheng Feng clenched his back molars, his cheeks tightened, and he hated it.

"The pirates are very well trained, and it's not necessarily a matter of saying they're pirates at sea, and I sometimes wonder if there's another group of people who are taking the time to do something bad."

"No matter what, we must strengthen our defense during this summer's harvest."

"Well, after the spring sowing is over, you will step up your practice, and you must not relax in the slightest."

"Yes."
