Chapter 54: Investigation
Lin Guidong said here with a deep sadness, "Our brothers were killed by them, and then I fled back with the rest of the people, and Wu Meng immediately took the county soldiers to surround our villages, saying that we were 'rioting' and 'rebelling', this person is really hateful!" “
Bai Yi and Fu Xiao both showed a look of righteous indignation.
"You should take that Wu County order to the edge of the water and let him swim in the dry riverbed by himself!" Bai Yi said hatefully.
"This brother looks like a man from the rivers and lakes!" Lin Guidong suddenly had the feeling that "the hero sees the same thing".
"Nameless junior, why worry about it." Bai Yi said politely.
Mo Shuangyun didn't have as many mood swings as the two of them, and Ah Shao always seemed to be indifferent to these things.
"Then Brother Lao Bolin will take me to the edge of Qishui to have a look." Mo Shuangyun said, "It is inconvenient for Mo to participate too much in political affairs, but Mo may be able to have some ideas about the broken flow of water." ”
"That's fine." Lin Guidong hid the regret in his eyes.
When we arrived at the edge of the water, sure enough, the river that used to be gurgling has dried up, but the riverbed is still wet and soft river mud, and it can be seen that the time to dry up is not very long.
"Brother Lin has a lot of business, let's go back first, my partner and I are checking for a while." Ink Frost said softly.
"Oh, I'll leave the matter of the water to the Mo family master." Lin Guidong believes in his ability, and he doesn't stay long, and now he is still in a state of confrontation with Wu Meng's side, and he can accompany Mo Shuangyun to come out.
When Lin Guidong left, Mo Shuangyun squatted by the river and began to study, and Bai Yi squatted next to him.
"Ah Yun, you don't seem to believe Lin Guidong very much, I thought you would believe the words of the people."
"Believe but not believe." Mo Shuangyun used a tree branch to probe the depth of the river mud, and said calmly, "It is human nature that people will always deviate things in their favor, intentionally or unintentionally, when narrating, whether they are civilians or officials. ”
Bai Yi thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.
However, the parents of Wumeng County are indeed incompetent, and the villagers' rebellion is indeed a helpless move. However, if there is a leader with real wisdom, it will not be to the extent that the imperial court needs to send troops. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court sent you this time, I'm afraid these villages would really be left behind. Ink Frost recounted the conclusion.
"Where we can't see, there are still many people suffering." Fu Xiao suddenly sighed.
Ah Shao suddenly felt that he and these three people were not very consistent with their painting style of worrying about the country and the people.
Mo Shuangyun stretched out her hand and rubbed her head, "Maybe the prime minister thinks the same way, so there will be a family rule that 'the children of the Mo family are not allowed to go out', after all, sometimes, if you stand on a high place for a long time, it will be difficult to see the people at the bottom." ”
"Let's go to the source of the water and check it out." Ink Frost Yun pointed to the mountain.
Ah Shao raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you can climb to the top of the mountain with your body?" ”
"What does it matter?" Fu Xiao's hand rested on Ah Shao's shoulder.
"There's the three of us here anyway!" Bai Yi put his arms around him.
Ink Frost smiled, "Let's go." “
A group of four people went upstream along the water.
Although Ah Shao's words are not good, he is indeed not wrong, the more he goes up, the more steep the mountain becomes, and Mo Shuangyun has begun to be a little unbearable.
"Ah Yun, why don't I carry you up?"
The rest of the people immediately looked at the person who spoke in surprise, and Fu Xiao was a little cramped by them, "What's wrong?" ”
Mo Shuangyun was the first to react, "Ah Xiao still don't laugh, Mo is also a man, this weight Ah Xiao can't bear." ”
Fu Xiao was not convinced, puffed out his cheeks, and reached out to grab him, "I'll prove it to you." ”
Mo Shuangyun was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, he was already tired, and he tripped over the roots of the tree under his feet, but fortunately, Bai Yiyan quickly caught him.
"Forget it." Fu Xiao said stupidly.
Mo Shuangyun breathed a sigh of relief, I also want to save face.
However, during the subsequent journey, the other three would take turns to bring the ink frost yun, otherwise he would not have the strength to do anything else even if he succeeded in reaching the top.
"It's all dried up."
The riverbed above was noticeably wider, but there was no longer half a drop of water left.
"Can you go any further?" Mo Shuangyun asked, vaguely feeling that if he could look down on this place, he would be able to know the cause and effect of the water drying up.
However, the front has been cut into a deep canyon under the water, the cliff wall is almost perpendicular to the ground, and the river mud below does not know the depth, I am afraid that only the road of flying cliff and walking the wall is left.
Ah Shao Butterfly started with two knives, jumped forward, and jumped onto the cliff. The butterfly knife in his hand immediately plunged into it to stabilize his body, and he tentatively took a few steps forward, and immediately returned the way he came.
"Do you have to see it for yourself? We've seen it and retold it to you, okay? "Ah Shao just explored, and the soil on the cliff wall is not very strong, even in his way, he can't stay in one place for too long.
Mo Shuangyun frowned, since Ah Shao said this, it meant that it would definitely not work to take him over. But after all, there is a difference between what he sees with his own eyes and what he repeats, and it is difficult for him to make a guess if he does not see it with his own eyes.
"Fu Xiao and I will also try to see if we can bring someone over." Bai Yi spoke, he jumped onto the cliff, unlike Ah Shao who needed to fix himself on the cliff with the help of butterfly double knives, the internal force in his hand was like a knife, and his five fingers grabbed the hard earth wall, although his posture was not very elegant, but it was more stable than Ah Shao, but it was not convenient to take a person.
Fu Xiao's way was different, she threw out her whip and wrapped it around the protruding stone on the cliff wall, allowing herself to swing over.
Seeing her movements, Ink Frost Yun took out a bracelet-like thing.
"What? New invention? Ah Shao said with great interest.
Bai Yi also came over, and Mo Shuangyun himself was also proficient in the machine, and what he took out must be a good thing.
But Mo Shuangyun didn't give anything to anyone, but called Fu Xiao back, "Ah Xiao, come back first."
Frost put the bracelet on her hand, "You try to use it like you just used a whip." ”
"Okay." Fu Xiao didn't ask, and immediately went to try.
"Mysterious." Ah Shao said unhappily, Ink Frost Yun usually has some strange things, but in the past, it was the first time he tried it, and he was just a little unhappy.
Fu Xiao got the bracelet and glanced at it first, the bracelet was about two fingers wide, and on closer inspection, it was a ring formed after a rope was spared many times.
Fu Xiao threw it at the moment when he was about to jump to the cliff, and the rope that was wrapped in a circle was thrown quickly, and there was a small metal device at the top, which was firmly nailed to the cliff wall, and Fu Xiao pulled it tentatively, very firmly.
