"Can you do it? Why don't you rest here? I deliberately questioned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Less nonsense, let's go!" But he had already strode out, and he couldn't see the half-dead scene he had been three days ago. However, with his professional knowledge, these skin and bone problems are really easy to solve, and it is as ordinary as eating and sleeping.

When we went out and turned to the side, it was the place where the little officials in the courtyard usually gathered together for dinner, and we went in to take a look, and sure enough, several of them came back from the dam fortifications in the afternoon.

"Yuebi?" After asking around, one of them finally recalled, "It seems that someone told me that they saw him going towards the culvert." ”

"Culvert?"

"It's the big pits left by the soil in the west, and the river will go there after the dam is closed. But there are barriers between the pits, and the river fills a culvert, breaks through the barrier, and flows into the next, and so on one by one, and finally forms a new channel. The man explained.

"Then there shouldn't be much you can do, right? What are you doing over there? "I find it strange.

He looked confused, shook his head and said, "I don't know! ”

Qin Qi and I glanced at each other, and we both felt a little relieved, so we immediately found someone to prepare horses and torches, and rushed to the dam fortifications.

There are still a lot of queues of workers along the way, but most of them are walking back, and it can be seen that after two days of hard work, the dam that diverted the river water has finally been completely completed. It's just that no matter how much I asked the foremen, no one had ever seen Yue Bi, let alone where he had gone.

We hurried to the foot of the platform where I had climbed up and looked into the distance, and after a few shouts to the top, a small official climbed down and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"Have you ever seen Yuebi? He never went back, and thought it was a little strange. ”

"Yue Bi Gongzi? I heard that he seems to have gone west, but I don't know exactly where he went. He said.

"When was that?"

"It wasn't dark yet, probably for more than an hour."

"Is there anything else on the west side besides the culvert?" I asked.

He thought for a moment and said, "No, the fortifications over there are planned to wait for the river to be diverted before they start, and now they are all wasteland. Besides, the culvert has not been completely filled yet, and it is a bit dangerous to approach it rashly. ”

These words made my heart sink, and I quickly said, "I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to take us over to find it?" I told him that he had an urgent matter and asked him to go back to the camp as soon as the work was over, but he never came back, and we were a little worried that something would happen to him. You're familiar with this place, and it will be quicker to take us there. ”

"Really?" The little official was quite enthusiastic, and immediately shouted to the top: "Hey, I'll take them to find the son of Xia Yuebi, and I'll be back in a while!" Then he took his horse and led us westward.

I've seen these so-called culverts to the west before, and each one is dozens of meters square, separated by a natural neighbor a few meters wide. After the river is completely blocked by the dam, it can only be diverted to the west, and after the first culvert is injected, it is slowly filled, and the pressure is so great that it will definitely break through the barrier earth wall of a few meters in the middle, and continue to pour into the second culvert, and so on, until according to the original design, obediently walk along the west side of the tomb, and then naturally go north.

These culverts were used for soil extraction at that time, and the edges of the ditches had been trampled into roads due to frequent transportation, and our horses were able to pass unimpeded. It's a pity that I walked out of it for four or five miles, and I still didn't see the figure of Yuebi.

I set my eyes on the river beside me, which had opened all the culverts within a distance of four or five miles, and was now gathering in a culvert not far ahead, the water level was rising, the sound of the water was rumbling, and it was estimated that it would soon break through the next barrier wall.

Looking at the other side, it is indeed a large field overgrown with wild grass, there are no people and no lights, not even a tree is visible, and it is already pitch black when it stretches more than ten meters away, it is really hard to imagine that anyone will come to this kind of place at night.

"What should I do, will I go back?" The clerk asked.

"Yuebi! Yuebi! I didn't give up, let go of my throat and shouted a few times. When I listened closely, I was only answered by the sound of water.

"Could it be that he had already gone back some other way when we came?" Qin Qi said.

"Is there any other way back to the camp from here?" I asked the clerk.

He tilted his head and thought for a long time, and said, "There is a trail, but it is not close......"

The big camp where we live is next to the main fortification of Lishan Mausoleum, because many materials for the dam fortification are transported from there, so a special road has been built, which is the one we walk back and forth. Theoretically, in order to save time and manpower, this avenue will definitely be the closest.

"Besides, if there is a road to walk, why take the path......" I muttered.

The three of them stood on the side of the road for a while, and there was really nothing they could do, and finally I had to say, "Well, let's go a little longer, and if we can't find him again, let's go back." ”

The two of them nodded in agreement, and we continued on our way, looking around with torches held aloft as we went.

It's a bit blind to find someone like this, but I'm always a little unnaturally hanging in my heart. Today is the last day of the three-day period, and Yue Bi may not say it, but it is impossible not to care about whether the case of Qin Qi can be resolved smoothly. He is not a front-line worker, so it stands to reason that he can withdraw as soon as the dam construction is completed, so why hasn't he ever gone back?

Yuebi, where have you been?

After walking for about 500 meters, I still didn't see anyone, and it was not a way to go any further, so I had to sigh and say, "Let's go, go back!" ”

At the moment when Rama turned around, his eyes inadvertently fell on the culvert that had not yet been flooded by the river very close to us, but he seemed to faintly see a white thing at the bottom of the ditch not far from us.

"Wait a minute!" I shouted, turned over and dismounted, handed the torch to Qin Qi, and walked to the edge of the ditch myself. The white was some distance from the edge of the ditch, and the fire could not shine on it, but on the contrary, it would dazzle the eyes. Now I removed the torch and closed my eyes for a while, and when I opened it again to look closely, I immediately saw that the white shape and size looked very much like a person!

"Look there, is there anyone?" I asked Qin Qi and the little official.

They also dismounted and came to take a look, a little hesitant.

"Is there a rope or something? I'll go down and take a look. I asked. However, I rummaged around, but I couldn't find anything suitable to use as a rope.

I was a little anxious in my heart, the water flow of this river is currently concentrated in the previous culvert, when I saw it just now, it has been filled to about two-thirds, and before it is full, it should break through the barrier wall and pour into this culvert, if that white is really a person, once the water is poured in, it will be washed away by the torrent! Now it's time to go down and make sure, it's too late to go back and get the rope!

"Forget it, I'll go down first, and I'll figure it out when I come up later!" Without much consequence, I had already jumped down the dirt slope and slid diagonally towards the bottom of the ditch at a rapid pace!

"Hey, Mo Yan!" Qin Shi's voice sounded overhead, but it was only a few seconds, I had already quickly descended to the bottom of the slope, and when I looked up, it was fourteen or fifteen meters above the ground, and the dirt slope was quite steep, and it was almost impossible to climb it with my bare hands.

But now was not the time to think about it, and I ran quickly towards the white patch I saw. The ground is not flat, there are ravines and ravines, and there are some residual tree roots and the like, which is quite stumbling. I almost crawled there, and when I looked closely, I was really alone! Dressed in white and with black hair, he lay motionless on the ground face down.

I jumped up and grabbed him by the shoulder, turned him over and leaned on his lap, and took a look at the messy hair, which was actually the Yuebi we were looking for! (To be continued.) )
