Chapter 79: The Problem of Water Sources

Finally suppressed his anger, Chi Nan made his voice a little more stable: "Let's talk about it, what's going on, haven't we always lacked water here, why is it suddenly not enough." ”

The bald father looked helpless: "In the past, there were few people here, so there were enough wells." But now that there are more people, there are not enough wells. There is enough water to drink now, but if we continue to increase the population, I am afraid it will not be enough.

A cold light flashed in Chi Nan's eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, behind our territory, near the Death Forest, there is a river, and that river seems to be not small." ”

At this time, Hermila spoke: "My lord, there is indeed a river behind us, but the water of that river is poisonous and cannot be drunk at all. If you want to drink, you have to go to another small river outside the territory. It's just that the place has already left the territory, and if there is any danger, there is no time to rescue. ”

Chi Nan frowned: "What's going on, why is the river water poisonous." ”

This bald dad didn't know, so he could only shake his head. Hemira explained: "It seems that this matter has something to do with a poisonous woman. Originally, when we first came, we thought it was a rumor, and some people went to the small river over there to drink water, but it turned out that it was indeed poisonous. A terror flashed in Hemila's eyes.

"What's going on? Tell me about it. "The problem of drinking water must be solved, otherwise there will be problems in the territory.

Hemila slowly told the story. According to the story, a beautiful girl lived in the upper reaches of the river in Hongshaling a few decades ago. At that time, the river was still not poisonous.

The girl would bathe in the river every day, but suddenly one day, for some reason, the girl's body grew a lot of poisonous sores. The originally beautiful girl suddenly became extremely terrifying.

And since then, the river has been poisonous inside, and it is getting more and more toxic. In the future, whether it is drinking water or bathing in that river, people will have the same poisonous sores on their bodies, and finally die in agony.

Since then, the girl has been called a poisonous girl, and was driven out of Hongsha Ridge by the people of Hongsha Ridge, and was never seen again. I heard that the body of the poisonous girl was later seen by some people, but no one knew about it.

"The older generation of people in Hongshaling hate poisonous women very much, because of poisonous women, there is no way to plant the best piece of land. Because they are worried that growing food on the land near the river will also be poisonous. All in all, the water in that river is untouchable. ”

The bald father also took the opportunity to say, "Yes, my lord, why don't we build a fortress near the river outside, and it will only be an extra hour or two to fetch water from there." ”

Chi Nan rolled his eyes: "Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself." I don't believe it yet. ”

Chi Nan's mind was racing, there was indeed magic in this world, and there were all kinds of mysterious powers. Therefore, it is not impossible for a river to be polluted and toxins appear because of one person.

But this story made Chi Nan suspicious, because no matter how this story sounded, the girl seemed to be the first victim. A woman who has never shown special powers, will she suddenly have mysterious powers?

Besides, even if she has mysterious powers, why would that woman harm other people, this is completely unreasonable, not to mention that even she herself has been harmed. In Chi Nan's view, this is simply the onset of paranoia of persecution of those ignorant civilians. Therefore, the problem must not have been with the poisonous girl.

Thinking of this, Chi Nan got up and said, "There should be no problem with the river itself, the problem should be in the upper reaches of the river, further up." Something must have gone wrong in that place. ”

"I believe that since it wasn't poisonous a few decades ago, as long as we can solve this problem, the river will still work. "The amount of water in that river is quite large. Chi Nan had also heard that if the river could be used, the water in it would not be short of water even if the population increased by more than ten times.

"But my lord, upstream, upstream has entered the interior of the Forest of Death. If you must investigate, let the army go. "The bald dad is really worried that Chi Nan wants to run in.

Chi Nan waved his hand: "No, I'll take a look, if this belongs to the category of mysterious powers, it's useless for the army to go, I have to go and see it myself to be sure to figure it out." ”

"Okay, that's it, anyway, there is no trouble in the territory now, and the situation outside is very good, even if I am not here, you can manage the territory for me." ”

Seeing that Chi Nan had made up his mind, the two of them shook their heads helplessly, and could only agree.

After all, it is the lord, and the lord's words are an absolute order. Chi Nan thought about it for a while, and there were indeed no details in his territory. The jujube tree has stored a large amount of flour in its own life. The remaining dates do not need to be grown by themselves, they rely on their own natural growth, and it is enough for the people not to go hungry.

There are also a lot of weapons stored at home, three hundred soldiers, but the new pea cannon itself has been planted more than a thousand. With so many pea cannons, even if there is a big war, there will be no problems.

Besides, if you just go to investigate, you won't waste too much time.

"My lord, since you are going to go in person, you must bring the army with you, otherwise we will definitely not allow you to go. Hemi pulled back her snow-white hair and said with a serious face.

This lord is good everywhere, but he likes to lead by example many times. Didn't he know that when the lord was in danger, the whole territory would be in turmoil. Hey, how can this lord look like a child who hasn't grown up.

"Of course I'm going to bring the army, didn't I go to die alone. However, the Forest of Death is not easy to walk, so I'm afraid it will be a hassle to bring too many people. ”

"No matter how troublesome it is, you have to bring at least a hundred people, the soldiers can die, but you can't, lord. ”

Chi Nan was a little moved in his heart, and he also had some inexplicable superiority. Taking a deep breath, Chi Nan said, "Okay, then a hundred." Team leader, Dad, come here. The territory also needs a leg guard. "Mainly because one leg is not good, Chi Nan can't bear to let one leg follow him.

"Don't worry, my lord, even if I die, nothing will happen to you. "The bald dad almost pointed to the sky and swore an oath.

"Then, my lord, I will ask you. I will bring more food with me, so that the lord will not suffer. ”
