It was Xu Chengchang who went out in the morning, and the rain at this time was already a lot lighter, but Xu Chengchang's shoulders were still wet.

Xiao Yue hurriedly let him into the house, and Xu Chengchang saw an old man standing in the room, and he felt strange.

Xiao Yue introduced to him: "This is Lord Wang of the Ministry of Industry of the state capital. ”

Xu Chengchang saluted Lord Wang and said goodbye.

Lord Wang nodded, in response.

Xiaoyue asked Xu Chengchang and asked, "What did I ask you to inquire about, how did you inquire?"

Xu Chengchang looked at Lord Wang and did not reply immediately.

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, Lord Wang is not an outsider." ”

Lord Wang was very impressed by this, the corners of his mouth curled, and his beard curled.

Xu Chengchang replied: "There is an old man in the town, surnamed Xiao, everyone calls him Xiao Gonggong, I inquired with many people, and they all said that he is most familiar with the water conditions near Luodai Town, but he now lives in Luoshan Village, which is dozens of kilometers away from here. ”

When Lord Wang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "This official is also looking for him today, and he is about to go out to find him today." He smiled and danced, and actually patted Xiaoyue's shoulder, "Little Brother Wen, you are a real person who doesn't show your face, I didn't expect to go with me again." "He no longer cares about Xiaoyue's own officials, he just wants to call him a brother.

Lord Wang's shot didn't matter, he almost slapped Xiaoyue on the ground.

When Xu Chengchang saw it, his face was so long, and he quickly helped Xiaoyue up.

Xiao Yue patted her chest, "Lord Wang is really good!"

Lord Wang wanted to say that Xiaoyue was too weak, but now that he has a request for help, he can only apologize with a smile on his face and say: "I'm sorry, the people who come and go on weekdays are rough people, and the hands are heavy, so don't remember it." ”

Xiao Yue waved her hand, and said angrily and funny: "It's okay, it's my own body that is too thin." ”

Lord Wang rubbed his hands and said anxiously, "When will you leave?"

Satsuki asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Lord Wang is a rectal man who can't hold back his words, "Go find that Xiao Gong!"

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Lord Wang is really anxious, do you know where he lives?"

Lord Wang said excitedly: "I inquired yesterday, and when I came back today to bring some things, I was going to look for him, I don't want to meet you." The second half of the sentence was delayed for a long time, and he couldn't help but say it.

Xiao Yue secretly laughed in her heart, this Lord Wang is really an anxious person, so she said, "I also have to clean up before I can go out." She turned sideways and explained a few words to Xu Chengchang.

Lord Wang was anxious on the side, so it was difficult to urge again.

"Bring rain gear and let's go together. ”

Xu Chengchang nodded, turned around and went to the house to pack his luggage.

The three of them packed up and set off for Luoshan Village.

Due to the rain, the mountain road was very difficult to walk, but fortunately, with Mr. Cao's straw rope, Xiaoyue fell several times. After a few days of eating and sleeping along the way, the three of them came to Luoshan Village.

This village had been overnight before, but it was late when I came, and I was in a hurry early in the morning, so I didn't have any impression.

According to the information inquired by Xu Chengchang and Lord Wang, they could easily find Xiao Gonggong's house.

It is said that Xiao Gonggong is an old man who lives alone, as if his family has passed away, and he is old and weak, so he does not live on the ferry, and takes a few apprentices in Luoshan Village to live and retire. Their presence pleased the old man, for there was something he could do with his expertise.

In the next few days, Xiao Yue and Lord Wang followed Xiao Gonggong to explore the river channel and hydrological conditions near the Yudai River.

Although this Luoshan Village is dozens of kilometers away from Luodai Town, it is adjacent to the Yudai River, and these days in the rain, the four of them ran all over the Yudai River below Luodai Town, so that Xiaoyue has a better understanding of the situation here.

According to Xiaoyue's observation, after the Yudai River flows through Luodai Town, it is divided into two tributaries at the mouth of a two-river estuary, the locals call them the Red River and the Yulan River, the Red River is the name of the river after the Yudai River is divided, and the Yulan River is the river that flows through Luoshan Village, the river is turbulent and white, there are many magnolia trees near the river, and many petals will drop when they are in the flowering period, so it is named.

At the mouth of the two rivers, there is an impact tidal flat, which is formed by the impact of the river water with sediment. When the flood hits the water, the tidal flat is washed away and turned into silt in the water, raising the riverbed, causing the river to flood in this area of the town.

According to her ability to never forget, Xiaoyue recalled the injury of visiting Dujiangyan at that time, and learned that it made full use of the local terrain, according to the special topography, water vein, and water potential at the mouth of the river, taking advantage of the situation, diverting water without dams, and artesian irrigation, so that the embankment, water distribution, flood discharge, sand discharge, and flow control are interdependent systems, and the place of Luodai Town is faintly in line with this geographical condition.

When they finished their more than ten days of exploration in Luoshan Village, Lord Wang had become more and more impressed with Xiao Yue. He didn't expect that such a weak young man would accompany him to explore in a harsh environment, and he would also brave the bad weather with heavy wind and rain. Although occasionally thunder and lightning, Xiao Yue would still hide behind him or Xu Chengchang, but the flaws were not hidden, and Lord Wang had already looked at him differently.

On the way back to Takedai Town, Lord Wang saw that Xiao Yue had been thinking, and when he asked, Xiao Yue didn't say a word, but after arriving in Luodai Town, Xiao Yue said goodbye to Lord Wang, and then went back to the courtyard where he lived, and told Xu Chengchang not to disturb her, entered the study, and did not come out for a few days and nights.

Lord Wang didn't go out when he returned to the county office, he drew a map in his house for a long time, and when he finished drawing and went to find Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue was still in the study. He was both worried and expectant. He felt that Xiao Yue could probably come up with a different method from him, but he also dared not to show weakness, so he went back to the house to think of a way to control the water.

On this day, Zhang Zhixian finally remembered that he hadn't seen Xiaoyue and Lord Wang for a long time, and called Master Lin to ask, "What has Master Wen been busy with lately?"

Master Lin said with a smile: "Before, Master Wen wanted to see the adult, but the adult avoided him, why didn't he think of him now." ”

Zhang Zhixian sighed and said: "After all, this person is the master of Master Wen, it's not good to be too lazy, and it is necessary to greet him politely." ”

Master Lin nodded, "This Master Wen has come to look for Lord Wang before, and he also wanted to find an adult, but he didn't meet an adult, and he was taken away by Lord Wang." ”

Zhang Zhixian was a little surprised, "What? was taken away by Lord Wang?

Master Lin actually felt strange, he said: "I don't know what's going on, a few days ago at night, Master Wen came to look for Lord Wang, but he didn't find it, and the next day he came to look for Lord Wang, but the Lord didn't want to see him at that time, and I didn't give him a crosshair, just when Lord Wang returned to the county office, they went back to the courtyard to chat for a while, and left Luodai Town in the afternoon. ”

Zhang Zhixian became more and more curious, "This Lord Wang can't say a few words to anyone, why did he talk to him, and the two left Luodai Town together." So where are they now?"

"This is even more strange, the two of them returned to the county government at the same time a few days ago, but they were locked in their own rooms and did not go out, I sent someone to invite them to drink and eat, and they also refused. ”

Zhang Zhixian pondered for a long time, and he didn't think of a clue, and then an official messenger came in to report: "Master, there is a post envoy who has come to deliver a letter, please answer the letter in the front hall of the master." ”

Zhang Zhixian was afraid that his head would blow up when he heard it, and it was estimated that it was the imperial court that came to ask about disaster relief, and he didn't dare not answer. Unexpectedly, after receiving the letter, he found out that it was not what he thought, it was still a happy event waiting for him, no, it should be double happiness.
