Chapter 275: Traveling Boundary Mountain
"There is a drought and insect infestation on our side, but the other side of the boundary mountain may not be affected in the slightest."
Feng Xiaoyue said as she stretched out her hand and pointed to a few places on the map that she had specially marked.
For the convenience of reading the drawings by herself, Feng Xiaoyue also deliberately drew contour lines on the drawings. It's just that I'm worried that Murong Lin won't understand, Feng Xiaoyue still has to think about how to explain the meaning of these lines and the reasons she knows, but fortunately, Murong Lin's curiosity is not so heavy and he didn't ask.
"I also know this, the boundary mountain range is too long, especially the peaks in these places, which are even more towering into the clouds, as if they can separate the heavens." Murong Lin nodded, and casually pointed to a few places on the map, which were the same as the data specially marked by Feng Xiaoyue, which were the highest steep cliffs in the Boundary Mountain.
"These mountains block the clouds on the horizon and the movement of the wind. To know whether it can rain in a place, it depends on the wind and clouds to fall. Not only that, but one of the reasons why the situation of the domain is so sad is also on these peaks. ”
Feng Xiaoyue simply recounted the conclusion given by the word, and Murong Lin involuntarily opened his eyes and looked over.
"These are all truths on the surface, you just tell me, what do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing. She has always thought of Murong Lin too simply, she never thought that he would use his brain, and he was extremely flexible.
"I mean, since this boundary mountain is a border, it doesn't necessarily indicate which side it belongs to? If you have the chance, you can fight for these mountains from the imperial court,"
"Wouldn't it be more useful to blow up their high and useless mountain tops with a little effort, which can improve the lives of the people of the domain to the greatest extent than some soup kitchen?"
Feng Xiaoyue said it lightly, but her words made Murong Lin a little unacceptable.
"I understand your kindness, but this matter is as simple as you say." Murong Lin chuckled and shook his head and sighed, Feng Xiaoyue had already expected him to be noncommittal, and he was not too surprised.
"So it's telling you to go for it if you have the chance, and it doesn't mean you can take it for yourself right now."
Feng Xiaoyue took a few peanut kernels from the plate on the edge of the case, placed them on the hills in the photo, and made a most conspicuous sign, and then picked up the brush on the pen stand that had not been stained with ink and water, and gently drew one on the map with the pointed end.
"Besides, I've been in love with this waterway for a long time."
Murong Lin looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the source of this waterway was still connected to the Boundary Mountain.
"On such a long boundary mountain, there must be the nearest water source to supply the growth of such a large forest," Feng Xiaoyue held a brush in her hand, and drew the tip of the brush from the waterway all the way up to the big river outside Yanwu City.
"As long as we have time to go and investigate, maybe we can quietly draw water from the mountains, and then dig this waterway and connect it to the big river, maybe we can survive this drought and benefit the next few decades."
"Trying to seize the top of the mountain, and quietly going over to grope around, is simply a test of Your Majesty's patience with our domain, your courage now
But it's getting bigger. Murong Lin smiled, but his words did not contain any meaning of looking down on Feng Xiaoyue.
Feng Xiaoyue put away the brush and kept drawing the soft end in her palm.
"If you don't work hard, how can you harvest your own world? What's more, we have been digging wells and building reservoirs in the domain for so long, and I am afraid that there is not much water stored under the domain in the first place, and it will be almost consumed. ”
"If we don't try, how can we know that what we're doing is wrong?" What Feng Xiaoyue said today was not on a whim, but after many days of investigation, consideration and comparison, she had no choice but to make up her mind, and now it only depends on what Murong Lin's attitude is.
If you can't get support, even if you have a lot of pride in your heart, it's just a fantasy.
"You're right." Unexpectedly, Murong Lin really did not oppose him. After Murong Lin smiled, he also began to seriously look at the annotations on the map.
"Anyway, there is trouble left and right, and the conclusion on the mountain is vague, and when the time comes, with our three-inch tongue, there will always be a way to get out, and now it is better to put the interests of the people in the first place."
"Then it's settled, you can take me there early tomorrow morning." Feng Xiaoyue was overjoyed in her heart, and her two hands were clenched into fists and placed them side by side on the desk.
Murong Lin looked at Feng Xiaoyue's yearning look, and with such an action, he couldn't help but feel that she was particularly cute today.
And the three girls sitting in the lower position looked at each other, especially Xiaoyun, after knowing that she was going to climb the mountain when she went out tomorrow, she was not sure if she had such a big confidence to keep up.
Feng Xiaoyue turned her head to take a look, made a little plan in her heart, and then ordered, "I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, let Lin Xiao stay by my side alone to protect my safety, if there are too many people, it will not be good." ”
"Xiao Yu needs to stay in the small courtyard to facilitate my coordination, Xiao Yun, you can stay here to help her."
"Yes." This arrangement is very objective, Xiaoyun failed to go out this time, and it is rare that there is no objection.
After the agreement, Murong Lin stayed here and talked to Feng Xiaoyue for a while, and after drinking all the precious tea in the cup, he left the night and went back to his room to rest, without saying anything all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Murong Lin inspected the city as usual, Feng Xiaoyue sat in the accompanying carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that it was still early.
Today's destination was a bit taboo, Feng Xiaoyue didn't want to attract attention, so she asked Murong Lin to walk around the edge of the reservoir outside, and after several tosses, he set foot on the road to the boundary mountain.
Jieshan is located on the west side of the domain, and the further west Murong Lin and his party go, the better the grass and trees on the side of the road will grow. Feng Xiaoyue asked Lin Xiao to open the car window, and looked out from this small window, and there were some rare wildflowers growing on the road outside that couldn't be named.
The weather outside is also not bad, the sun is shining, but on this green meadow, a faint natural fragrance rises. Feng Xiaoyue sat in the car and did not exercise, but also felt the warmth gradually coming from her body.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the place, Lin Xiao closed the window. Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but rejoice in her heart
The time of the dry attack is still early, giving people a process of adaptation, if it suddenly occurs in the hot summer, I don't know how many people will die because of it.
"It's here, Xiaoyue, come down." While she was thinking wildly, the carriage stopped, Murong Lin turned over and dismounted, walked to the side of the carriage and stretched out his hand to welcome her off.
Lin Xiao came out first and jumped down from the other side of the carriage, Feng Xiaoyue was one step behind her, and landed steadily under Murong Lin's support.
Only then did she stand firm, Feng Xiaoyue took a closer look, and found that the group of people around her was standing at the foot of a mountain in the Boundary Mountain. Less than a mile ahead of here, a deep ravine was revealed.
The canyon looks very long and narrow from a distance, and only black crevices can be seen from here. On the top of the mountain on both sides of the canyon, from the position near the top of the mountain, from shallow to deep, it spreads a green that makes people can't take their eyes off it.
Where the green could not reach, he could only see two or three bare white rocks. Looking along the two sides of the mountain, there is no difference except for the difference in the altitude of the mountain.
Just because the mountains are similar doesn't mean that they are all the same. The flat land where Feng Xiaoyue and the others are standing is a fault, and the place to the left is a valley several zhang deep, and to the right is the plain that can really be described as a foothill.
This place is not the same place as the one that welcomed Murong Yu back to his home yesterday, Murong Lin deliberately chose to settle here, which will not be eye-catching, but also convenient to climb the mountainside.
After all, the foothills here are among the smoothest compared to other places.
"It's magnificent, but can you tell where this is?" Feng Xiaoyue needed to raise her neck straight to barely see the towering mountaintop.
Such a huge and connected mountain range stood impressively in front of him, coupled with the dazzling sunlight shining overhead, Feng Xiaoyue's eyes were weak for a while, and her consciousness was unclear, and it was difficult to match the one drawn on the map.
Lin Xiao listened to her words and took out the map in her arms. Feng Xiaoyue took it, and Murong Lin and the two of them looked at it evenly, but because the sunlight outside was really dazzling, she could barely see the content on the map until she squinted her eyes.
Lin Xiao noticed that Feng Xiaoyue's current appearance seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and just remembered that before leaving, Xiao Yu was a little relieved, and deliberately hid an oil-paper umbrella in the car.
climbed into the carriage and rummaged for a while, Lin Xiao really found the umbrella that Xiao Yu put in in the stool that Feng Xiaoyue had just sat on and found the umbrella that Xiao Yu had put in.
"It's also very good here, do you know that you didn't make a special mark yesterday? The waterway you fancy is at the junction of the canyons a little to the south, and it is right in front of the highest mountains of the Boundary Mountain. ”
"The northernmost of these mountains is called Feiya Mountain, which is where we are standing now, the one on the left." Murong Lin was more accustomed to the outside environment, and the sunlight had no effect on him at all.
"As long as we climb halfway up the mountain, you can look down from above, and maybe you can see the waterway you took before."
Feng Xiaoyue looked in the direction of his finger, only to feel that the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist seemed to be getting closer and closer, and she was dizzy for a while.
