Since breaking the spiritual barrier and opening up the spiritual aperture, Zhang Shuo has been nesting in his grass hut for three full days.

In the past three days, Zhang Shuo has not taken half a step out of the door except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, he is like a drug addict at this time, and all he thinks about every moment is cultivation, cultivation, and re-cultivation!

According to the guidance of the "Spirit Turtle Swallowing Moon Method", after opening up the spiritual aperture, visualize the spirit turtle swallowing the moon, and swallow the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into the "Spirit Mansion".

"Lingfu" is different from the mysterious and mysterious spiritual aperture, it is a real part of the human body, roughly in the area where the hypothalamus is located in the human skull, whenever Zhang Shuo visualizes, the spiritual energy will enter the spiritual aperture from the spiritual aperture, and then disperse into the whole body.

When the aura is dispersed into the whole body, the feeling is like a rain after a long drought, not only physically, but also mentally refreshing!

Zhang Shuo has been completely addicted to it since he felt the aura entering his body for the first time, and he even thought that if he could, he could nest in the grass hut for the rest of his life!

It's a pity that this morning, Zhang Shuo suddenly found that the food he brought from the real world had been eaten.

After doing the math, Zhang Shuo has been traveling for more than 20 days, and the food he originally brought was not much, only a week's amount, plus the food sent by some enthusiastic villagers in the village, it is already good to be able to survive now.

There was nothing to eat, Zhang Shuo's first reaction was to go back to the real world and get it again, but in a blink of an eye he denied this idea, the reason is very simple, that is, the real world cannot be cultivated!

From the perspective of time, the period when Zhang Shuo wore it to the real world and then wore it back did not exist at all for the other world, that is to say, from the perspective of time in the other world, Zhang Shuo never left this world.

But in Zhang Shuo's concept, he has to stay in the real world for at least seven days!

You can't cultivate for seven days, how can you bear it for Zhang Shuo, who has just tasted the taste of cultivation?

Therefore, Zhang Shuo decided that it was better to go to the county town to buy some food, after all, there was not much food in the village.

Just do it, buy it early and eat it early, you can cultivate early, Zhang Shuo simply cleaned up and went out, but as soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he found that a group of people were gathered there.

"Oh, that's miserable!"

"Isn't it?!"

......

Far away, Zhang Shuo heard some villagers talking there, and he leaned over with a curious look to see what was going on.

In the center of the crowd, there was a straw mat, on which lay two corpses that had been soaked and rotten, looking at the fishing nets on the corpses that had not been taken off, Zhang Shuo guessed that this must be the dead body that Wu Luo fished up in the river again.

"Uncle Wu, what's the matter? So many people are gathered here?" Zhang Shuo found Wu Luo from the crowd, this middle-aged man was only wearing a pair of trousers at this time, and he was wet, he should have just returned from the river.

"Oh, it's Dr. Zhang!" Wu Luo saw Zhang Shuo, and immediately said in a respectful tone, "Dr. Zhang hasn't gone out these days, you don't know, I've fished more than 20 dead people in the river in the past few days, alas!

"What's going on, how could so many dead people suddenly appear in Jiangli?" Zhang Shuo asked with a frown.

"I heard that there was a big flood in the Zhejiang River, and the embankment in Yiyang County burst, and the flood washed down from the embankment at night, and many people died. Wu Luo replied in a low tone.

Some of the sources of the Lushui River are streams flowing out of Nanlingli, but the largest source is still a tributary that branches off from the Zhejiang River, and Yiyang County is in the northwest direction of Nanyang County, the upstream of Lushui, and it is also the place where the tributaries of the Zhejiang River and the main trunk of the Lushui River converge.

"No, it's winter now, how can the Zhejiang River suddenly be flooded?"

Although Zhang Shuo has just come to this world not long ago, but for some basic geographical knowledge is still understood, the Zhejiang River originates in the Western Wilderness, Yu Lijing scatters into the hundred rivers, generally speaking, only summer is the flood season, now it is December, the water of the Zhejiang River should be reduced.

"Hey, Doctor Zhang doesn't know this?" At this time, Wu San didn't know when he came to him, and said angrily, "I heard that there are demons in the Jingshi, and it rained heavily, almost flooding the entire capital!"

"What kind of demon is making trouble, you laizi, you know nonsense!" Old Wu Tou was also in the crowd, and when he heard his son's words, he immediately said angrily.

Wu San heard his father's reprimand, but smiled awkwardly at Zhang Shuo, he knew that Zhang Shuo used to go to the wine shop to listen to some news from all over the world, so he talked about the major events that had happened in the past few days of Zhang Shuo's retreat and cultivation.

Wu San spoke very vividly, and Zhang Shuo listened to it with relish, but he listened to it as an anecdote about the rebellion of the Western Army and the fire in Beijing.

In Zhang Shuo's heart, Huangxi Village is like a paradise, the outside world can be chaotic as it should be, as long as it does not affect the life in the village.

The villagers at the head of the village quickly dispersed, and they would not delay their work because of a few dead people, and in the end, only Wu Luo, Lao Wu Tou, Wu San and Zhang Shuo were left in the crowd.

Old Wu Tou was going to the county wharf to ferry, Wu Luo and Wu San were going to take the dead body to the county government to receive the reward, while Zhang Shuo needed to go to the city to buy some food, so the four of them set off quickly.

The county ya, the county commander Wu Pei looked at the row of swollen dead bodies in front of the yamen with a gloomy face, and finally sighed and brushed his sleeves away, and the doormen on the side saw this and immediately called the officials to dispose of the dead bodies.

"County Zun, these people are all under the rule of Yiyang County, and they have nothing to do with us, why are you worried?" The doorman looked at Wu Pei who was pacing, and quickly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Mr. Situ didn't know that the reason why the embankment in Yiyang County broke was because of ...... It's because ......" Wu Pei paused, as if he was making some final decision, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's because Yiyang County is too shou to privately swallow the treasury silver and shoddy the stones for repairing the river embankment, so it caused such a catastrophe!"

"What!" The doorman was startled, and suddenly looked around nervously, and was slightly relieved to see that there was no one around, and said to Wu Pei, "How much benefit has the county gained?"

There are many stones in Hecang County, and most of the stones used to repair the river embankment in Yiyang County are mined from here, since Wu Pei said this, he must have benefited from it.

“...... Fifty thousand dollars!" Wu Pei finally spit out the number.

Fifty thousand yuan! According to Da Zheng's law, this is going to kill the head! Not to mention such a thing as a river embankment breach! Mr. Situ took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then thought quietly.

"Sir, is there a way to save your life?" Wu Pei was anxious, and saw that the doorman had been thinking for a long time without replying, so he hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, I have a ......" Mr. Situ rolled his eyes and whispered into Wu Pei's ear......
