Chapter 19: Reparations

"So well prepared." Jiuzun leaned over and looked at her package, and asked with curiosity, "Didn't you put the medicinal herbs in it too?" ”

"I've sorted it out, so I don't interfere with each other. You see, and a bit of dry food. ”

"Well, there's just no wine, I really want to drink a pot at this time!"

Wu Jinghong smiled and nodded, "If you like it, I will personally make wine for you when I go back, which is a thank you gift." ”

"Winemaking?" Jiuzun blinked, can the princess of a dignified country still make wine? This is strange, "I don't want to cash it out casually." ”

"The thank you gift is naturally genuine, you can rest assured."

One was confident, the other was skeptical, and the two made their first agreement.

"The rain country is really interesting, the dungeons are different from Ohara."

Jiuzun had just changed his clothes, and his clothes were a little short, but he didn't wear much on Jiuzun but showed his ability. Wu Jinghong nodded with satisfaction, "New clothes, they look good no matter how you wear them." ”

"Hmph, it's obvious that I wear my clothes better!" Jiuzun hummed unconvinced.

Wu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, laughing and speechless, this Jiuzun is sometimes like a child, arrogant and cute.

So, when Adom finally had the opportunity to send Xiwen Tayu to visit the two of them, they were talking about something happily.

"Girl!"

Wu Jinghong heard a familiar call, turned around, and saw Xiwen Dayu poking his head outside the courtyard, "Girl, are you okay?" ”

"We're fine, Llo-Dom missed." Wu Jinghong responded with a faint smile.

"Oh, Adom said that the lord of the kingdom is more angry, and asked what you said to the lord."

"Having said a lot, why are you lords so angry? It is really unreasonable to praise him for thinking that I am speaking falsely and getting angry when I tell the truth. Wu Jinghong shook his head helplessly, "Maybe I can't get along with your lord, please tell Adom not to worry about me, if the lord is a good lord who thinks about the people of the rain country, he will let us out." ”

"Okay, girl, be careful yourself, there are a lot of adult Gu worms in the dungeon, Adom said that you have longevity Gu in your body, I'm afraid that you will be attracted by the long-term Gu worms here."

Wu Jinghong showed a clear look, "Thanks for reminding me." ”

Xiwen Ayu glanced at Jiuzun a few more times, and then left in a hurry.

Jiuzun bit the dry food and slurred his words, "How do you know he'll let us out?" ”

"He not only wants to let us out, but also goes to Gu for me." Wu Jinghong said firmly.

"Huh!" Jiuzun chuckled lightly and stopped talking, she was even more sure than herself, interesting.

"Speaking of which, is this rain country such a large area as this oasis?"

"Yes, the so-called country is actually not half the size of a gold and silver city, but it is just a general term for the convenience of management." Jiuzun remembered the purpose of his trip, and smiled playfully, "This is the Gu poison technique that is still remembered by the world, but the desertification continues to be serious, and this witch Gu technique will also change hands at that time!" ”

"Why doesn't he tackle the problem of desertification?"

Jiuzun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Controlling desertification?" Is it to bury all the dust? ”

"Why not?" Wu Jinghong replied calmly, "All things are mutually reinforcing, and finding the right way can alleviate their current situation." ”

"Oh? Looks like you've got a good idea. Jiuzun glanced out of the corner of his eyes at the courtyard door, and then said, "It's a pity that the lord of the country doesn't want to listen to your advice, and is ready to leave us here to fend for ourselves!" I don't know how long you'll last......"

Wu Jinghong paced in the courtyard without hurry, enjoying the scenery, and shook his head lightly at Jiuzun when he heard the words, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, what I said is true, and he can figure it out when he calms down." Well, the flowers and plants here are good, so gorgeous and bright, I'm afraid they can't be contaminated. ”

"It's not those flowers and plants that are amazing, why do you think there are so few guards here?"

"Their chips lie in those Gu worms, right?" Wu Jinghong recalled the discomfort when the lord of the country approached him, and his heart was more sure of his thoughts.

"That's right, there are strange Gu worms in every corner here, and there are countless Gu worms around the lord of that country." Jiuzun said leisurely, "The Rain Country has already said that Gu Wei, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Wu Jinghong shook his head lightly and looked over suspiciously.

"It is said that every household in the rain country has Gu guards, one is to prevent thieves, and the other is to prevent disasters."

Preventing thieves is understandable, but no matter how powerful Gu worms are, they are just insects, so where does disaster prevention begin?

Seeing that Wu Jinghong seemed to still have doubts, Jiuzun raised his chin a little proudly, "Is it incomprehensible to the word disaster prevention?" It's a bit of a mystery, you can ask their Adom, I don't know what the truth is. ”

"......" Wu Jinghong turned around and left, the more he thought about it, the more angry and ridiculous he felt.

Jiuzun chased after him two steps, "Huh? Why did you just leave? ”

Wu Jinghong looked back at him and said helplessly, "Aren't you a fake Shura King?" Where did you learn this coquettish knurling tsundere method? ”

"Hmph-"

Jiuzun didn't quite understand what the fancy tsundere method was, but his intuition was not praising himself, so he snorted lightly and walked in the opposite direction. He was about to step on the stairs and go up the bamboo building, but he heard someone outside the courtyard say loudly, "Your Excellency, please talk about the two main halls." ”

The corners of Wu Jinghong's mouth smiled, and he bowed his head indifferently.

So, the two of them followed a few attendants to the main hall, and this time, there were two more rows of low seats in the main hall, and a coffee table was placed in front.

"King Shura, Princess of Yunguo, I have been slacking off a lot before, please forgive me."

The lord of the country sitting on the high seat did not say a word, and did not even cast his eyes, but Adom, who was standing beside the lord of the country, although his face was cold, he was polite and thoughtful, and politely asked someone to take them into the seat.

Both of them nodded their heads and sat down in a proper manner.

"Serve." Adom continued to call the shots, without glancing at the lord of the kingdom, as if she was in charge.

One after another, the maids came in with a plate, gently put down the dishes in the small cup, and each person also had a pot of wine, just smelling the fragrance made people have an appetite.

"I don't know what the lord means?" Jiuzun asked knowingly, "The two of us are still prisoners of your country, why, are your countries so kind to prisoners?" ”

"This is a misunderstanding, it is really because the lord of the country does not know the identity of the two, there are many offenses, after verification, the identity of the two has been confirmed, if necessary, the two of them can speak."

Adom raised his hand to signal that they could eat, and Wu Jinghong stopped grinding and ate on his own. It's really this trip to the rainy country to gnaw dry food all day long, drinking white water caused tastelessness in the mouth, and now I am seduced by these delicate side dishes.

"Hmph, how dare you, this king has been galloping across the field for so many years, and it is quite fresh to be detained in a dungeon for the first time, since the lord of the country thinks that the identity of this king is false and has committed the so-called crime of bullying the king, it is better to put the king's head on the ground." Jiuzun snorted coldly, "After all, your country is so big, this king has come all the way without help, and he is really afraid!" ”

Wu Jinghong's mouth didn't stop, but he was thinking in his heart, this Jiuzun was afraid that he really wanted people, and now he deliberately climbed along the pole, and he climbed higher and higher. It seems that what he is asking for is not as simple as asking for Gu himself!

That's right, if it weren't for the need of Shuo Country, how could he take him to the Rain Country without any painstaking effort? Thinking of this, Wu Jinghong's heart couldn't help but be a little dull.

Adom was silent, his face was cold and tight, and he couldn't see any expression, but the lord of the country seemed to be a little angry, squinted at Adom, and then turned his face to glare at Jiuzun.

Jiuzun took a sip of wine and sighed contentedly, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

"What does King Shura mean by this?"

"This king sighs that such a good wine, it won't be long before I can drink it!"

Wu Jinghong raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiuzun, what does this guy want to do?

"King Shura is referring to the shrinking land area of the Rain Country?"

"That's right, this king has heard of your country for a long time, and I heard that it covers an area of at least two million acres and has a population of up to three million.

Adom's eyes moved, "King Shura doesn't know, those data are from thirty years ago. Today, the area of our country does not exceed one million, and the population has shrunk to 800,000. She stopped and glanced at the lord of the country, whose eyes were full of forbearance and struggle, "In the past few decades, natural disasters have continued, and the desertification around the country has been serious, and some of the citizens have moved their families early, and almost all those who have not been able to move away from the marginal areas have starved to death. ”

Wu Jinghong finally tasted every side dish and drank two glasses of wine, which made him feel more energetic. She took the handkerchief handed by the maid behind her and wiped it, and then sat down and listened to their conversation.

"The two successive lords of the country have lost their hair overnight because of this incident, and the two Adom before me have also racked their brains to solve this problem, but the results are often unsatisfactory."

Listening to this voice, Adom's mood was probably a little unstable. Wu Jinghong turned to look at Jiuzun, but saw Jiuzun raising his glass in front of her, and said with a smile, "It seems that your country has a big problem, so it's really not the right time for the king to come, what do you say?" Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Cloud Country. ”

Wu Jinghong smiled, no matter what he wanted to do, he could only help him, and it could be regarded as repaying his help on the way.

"The situation in the rain country is indeed not optimistic, I have also observed, and now your citizens are basically concentrated near the national hall, and the houses are not built, and the roads are also empty. If I'm not mistaken, you want to protect the last million remaining lands from being swallowed up by the desert, right? ”

The lord's expression paused, and Adom nodded silently.

Wu was shocked, and continued, "Since your problems are caused by the desert, why don't you start with the root cause?" ”

"How?" This time it was not Adom who spoke, but the lord of the kingdom with a somewhat eager look in his eyes.
