Chapter 685: To Zhuang County
"Thank you, girl, you will remember to come to us often in the future!"
There are no flowery rhetoric, let alone too many words of praise, the simple villagers here only use these simple words to express their respect and love for Song Yunshu.
After waving goodbye to the villagers, Song Yunshu decided to embark on the journey of the second destination.
Although it was a little more troublesome to solve these things than she thought at the beginning, for example, the villagers here were very reluctant before leaving, and even came to the house where she was staying the night before, hoping to do their best to help Song Yunshu.
The beauty in this world is like this, simple and unpretentious, but it is really existing, and it warms your heart.
With the warmth of the villagers, Song Yunshu kept smiling on the corner of his mouth along the way.
It's just that after leaving the village, because the second destination is a bit far, Song Yunshu, who was smiling at first, went from a smile to a bitter gourd face during the half-month journey.
The originally tender little face looked sallow and sallow because of the non-stop hurry.
Although Song Yunshu never complained along the way, even so, Chu Yuchen, who set off with him, silently watched everything about Song Yunshu in his eyes.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Chu Yuchen waved his hand and called the attendant outside the carriage over.
"Find a place with moisture, the kind that can take a bath, and take the carriage directly after you find it."
Although the attendant didn't know why, he still did so, put down the curtain, and a closed environment formed in the carriage again, Song Yunshu's curved willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was looking at the map in his hand with a serious face at this time.
Lifting the curtain and seeing that the attendant had not returned, Chu Yuchen moved the place and got closer to Song Yunshu.
Since he was about to reach his destination, Song Yunshu was in a hurry to find out about the situation in Zhuang County in advance, and he didn't even feel Chu Yuchen's sudden approach.
It wasn't until Chu Yuchen's voice sounded in his ears that Song Yunshu suddenly raised his head, "What's the matter, is there any development?" ”
A pair of bright eyes opened wide, probably because Chu Yuchen was startled by his sudden approach, Song Yunshu looked at Chu Yuchen's delicate jaw and saw his reflection in his eyes, and quickly lowered his head and pointed at Zhuang County on the map.
The contrast between the green white jade fingers and the yellowed kraft paper stimulated Chu Yuchen's nerves.
"Look here, the water flow seems to run directly through this Zhuang County, even if there are some places that do not have direct contact with this water source, but there are many nearby diversion branches, so it should not be a problem with the water source."
Stretching out his head to take a look, sure enough, a river runs through the entire Zhuang County.
Other places dare not guarantee it, but this Zhuang County definitely does not worry about the problem of draft.
"In this way, we can rule out that it is a water problem."
Song Yunshu nodded slightly, and continued to study the map, at this time, the attendant that Chu Yuchen had just sent out to find the water source happened to come back, Chu Yuchen opened the curtain and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that there was a wide stream in front of him, and the open terrain gathered into a good place to take a bath, and the water quality was clear.
took the map in Song Yunshu's hand, put it aside for her, and looked at Song Yunshu's face full of confusion, Chu Yuchen lifted the curtain and motioned for Song Yunshu to follow him out of the car, "I asked people to find a water source, probably the one you saw on the map, it is only a few days away from Zhuang County, and now that the scorching sun is on the head, you can go and wash up briefly first, so that you can feel better." ”
Hearing Chu Yuchen say that he would let himself take a bath, Song Yunshu thought that it was because he was sharing a carriage with Chu Yuchen and had a bad smell on his body, but when he heard Chu Yuchen say that it was to relax himself, Song Yunshu's heart warmed, and he nodded and came to the stream.
It's just that although the terrain here is not open, but there is not too much shelter, Song Yunshu looked at Chu Yuchen with embarrassment and was about to open his mouth to refuse, Chu Yuchen took the first step and said, "You can rest assured, I am here to check for you." ”
After taking a bath, nearly half a month of stickiness was swept away, and the whole body was indescribably refreshing, and it seemed that after going ashore, the steps were light and floating.
After a delay for half a day, Song Yunshu and Chu Yuchen embarked on the journey again.
A few days later, their group finally reached Zhuang County.
After arriving, the king went to inspect as usual, although he had just settled down and had not had time to rest, but since this heavy responsibility fell on him, he must cherish it.
But after investigating outside, the king returned home in the evening, with a displeased face.
"How unreasonable!"
Steward Wang only thought that Chu Yuchen and Song Yunshu were not there at this time, so when he entered the door, he threw the sweat handkerchief on the table viciously, sat on the chair, drank the water in the teacup with a clatter, and didn't mind if it was already cold.
"Steward Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Unexpectedly, Song Yunshu and Chu Yuchen also cleaned up well, and simply familiarized themselves with the temporary residence, and just walked over, they watched Steward Wang walk in vigorously, and followed over to see Steward Wang sitting alone in a chair sulking.
"Lord Song, King Mu...... Alas! ”
Looking up at Chu Yuchen and Song Yunshu, Steward Wang sighed helplessly.
"What the hell is going on?"
Song Yunshu was not a tolerant person in the first place, and at this time, watching this Wang steward stop talking several times, he was already tormented in his heart.
"Steward Wang, what did you see when you went out this time, just tell the two of you."
It was Chu Yuchen who saw the clue and said calmly.
"Alas, we have all been deceived, and it is not a lack of livelihood at all, nor is it a constant famine. Sure enough, as Lord Song said, Zhuang County has never lacked water at all, because it is close to a wide river, so they have never been worried about water sources. ”
Scammed?
Song Yunshu didn't react from what Steward Wang said for a long time, since there was no problem with the water source, why was the development of this place so backward.
"It's because the villagers here are very lazy, they don't work hard to develop, they are only satisfied with the little grain they have harvested every year to fill their stomachs, and no one has ever thought about development."
"The annual harvest? They have a good harvest, and there is basically not much left in ordinary county towns except for the public grain handed over every year. ”
Song Yunshu heard the clue from Steward Wang's words, and she really didn't understand this Zhuang County.
"What is enough to eat, they will eat if they have it, and they will not eat if they don't. At first, I asked them why they didn't want to develop and develop, didn't they want to fill their stomachs, and they even said that their ancestors had come like this for generations, and there was nothing bad about it, and they couldn't starve to death. ”
