Chapter 041: Scorched Earth Pool

Scorched earth pools

Wu Sande watched them eat Zhenghuan with relish, and simply picked up the grilled bunch of bats himself.

The bat's wings have become as thin as paper, and when broken, they are crunchy. I didn't apply the secret salt, and it smelled the same strong fragrance, and my eyes, which were once watery and large, are now inverted and shriveled. The star-eyed bat's fluff is gone, and its skin has become unusually dark.

"I really didn't expect that this little one, without oil and salt, is so delicious. The sound of gurgling rang in Wu Sande's mouth. "Come to the military division, I'll give you a taste, you must have never eaten such game. The military advisor picked one up from the string. "I'm masturbating one, keep it for the boss. "The military advisor has masturbated one.

Tengteng, Wu Sande trotted in front of Dan Wumao again, "You can take one and eat it too." Dan Wumao took one off with mud and stone chips. A skewer of seven roasted bats, Wu Sande only ate three, but he felt it was worth it. Now in times of crisis, it is most important to be able to find a good person. In case one day it comes time to vote for who to eat, some confidence is not.

"Look, you've got a smeared lip from your mouth, and you've been washed in a scorched earth pool. A said.

B rubbed the corner of his mouth with his elbow, "What's the matter! The scorched earth pool in our hometown is much darker than this." ”

"You're from Scorched Earth, too! It's not a big place, why haven't I seen it. A said.

"I haven't seen you either! I live on the edge of the inky pool. B said.

"If you say that, you're from Scorched Earth too. Look at your face again, it's not bad. Outsiders call the scorched earth pond scorched earth pool, and only those who live in scorched earth town call the scorched earth pond called the ink earth pool. A said.

"Isn't it all black soil, what kind of scorched earth and ink soil?"

"Big brother, listening to you, it seems that you are not even a Huwan person. Even the famous Scorched Earth Town doesn't know. B said.

"Yes, I don't know, it's against the king's law!" I was very unconvinced, and B looked down on people.

"The two big brothers are out of the fire, don't be angry. I thought that all the brothers and sisters here had never heard of the story of Scorched Earth Town, one of the famous nine towns of Huwan. I'll tell you about it. "A group of people are also idle and bored, and it must be fun to have free lectures.

This scorched earth town, hence the name, is a whole town that has been burned by fire, and it is black. Even the ground under your feet, you are digging three feet into the ground, and the bottom is still black (shai), there was once an outsider, a curious person, once hired three strong men, and dug the ground in the yard he rented for three days and three nights, but the soil under the ground is still dark.

Even the well water we drank smelled of smoky residue, and the color was like a bucket of ink in a water tank. The steamed bread we ate was all black. It's also darker than the people outside, not to mention the teeth. But out of Scorched Earth Town, one mile away, the other surrounding villages and counties are the same as yours.

Legend has it that the fire in Scorched Earth Town (formerly known as Futu Town) was originally made by someone in the Witch Temple on a snowy day to drive away the cold, and as a result, the five gods of the Witch Temple were accidentally blackened.

The people of the town, when they got up early in the morning, found that the sun in the sky was white and the sky was blue, and everything else was inky. Even the sprouts that emerge from the newly grown leaves. The whole county and town seemed to be burned by smoke and fire. Gradually, people outside began to call Futu Town a scorched earth town. I heard that in the past, the crows flying in the sky were also colorful, but after this day, people can only look at black crows.

However, some people say that the reason why Scorched Earth Town is black is because, 10,000 years ago, that is, when our old ancestors were almost burned to death, there were many trees in Scorched Earth Town at that time, and it took a year or two to burn it, and people couldn't destroy it, so they burned it madly to death because the area was not large.

Eventually, the fire was extinguished, and nothing was gone. There was nothing to be sorry about at the time. Later, a crowd of people built a scorched earth tribe there, and then the same tribe of Huwan, and it became the current scorched earth town.

In any case, Scorched Earth Town is famous all over the country because of its reputation as scorched earth. The most famous thing in Scorched Earth Town is the water of the Scorched Earth Pool, and a scoop is worth a tael of silver.

"A scoop of water and a tael of silver, you can blow you. If that's the case, you two can still stay here!. C said.

Big brother, don't worry, I heard it for you slowly. The water in the ink pond is really not ordinary water. Don't look at the pool is not big, that is, half an acre square. But it is the lowest place in the town, with so much water all year round, and not much rain in the summer.

In the middle of the rainy season, the rainwater of the whole town collects into it, but I have never seen water overflow. The water is also thick, and it smells crisp.

Do you know who Jia Qinming is? He is a figure for thousands of years. Huwan is the most talented person in ancient and modern times. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are omniscient, and the courts of the six countries want to invite him out of the mountain. In his later years, he was based on the scorched earth town, because he thought it was particularly beautiful to write with the water of the ink pool. If you inquire about it, Jia Qinming's calligraphy and painting in his later years can buy a courtyard house under the imperial city with a three-foot-long banner.

I was also born as a thief, and it was because I went to the county lord's house to steal a calligraphy and painting of Jia Qinming and ended up here. I think it's worth it!

Because Jia Qinming's reputation is getting louder and louder, the water in the ink soil pond is also rising. I used to think that the water in the ink pool was dark, and I didn't care about washing vegetables and rice. When the literati from all over the country came here to use oxen to pull horses and camels to carry water in the pond. The people of Scorched Earth Town and the county officials saw a business opportunity. Began to send troops to surround the inkwell, at first I thought that it would not be anything later, and the more I scooped the pool below, the thicker and tighter the pool became. The county magistrate felt that the price of one scoop was a bit discounted, and began to slowly increase the price, but in the end, he didn't expect to be able to sell it for one or two silver scoops, but some people still bought it. If someone had saved a tank of ink and soil water, it would have been distributed by now.

"I can't complain, I heard you crying and begging for mercy on the city wall, but he still put you here, it turns out that you stole something from his house. C said.

"Seeing a smile, the water in the ink soil pond is now used for writing and painting in the palace, how can ordinary people use it. Now that I think about it, I didn't leave Scorched Earth Town and tried my luck to steal some pool water, and maybe I made a fortune. A said.

"Oh, yes!" B replied with a little regret. "I think the outside world is easy to make money, but I only find that the silver outside is not easy to earn. ”

One last emotion made everyone silent, who is not like this. Out of Guhuai's national policy is good for prisoners, as long as they come to Yiyun Country to commit crimes, the wives and children at home will have a place to settle down and eat the national meal.

"Hey!" a loud voice sounded, and the returning scar man came back, and he didn't know how much he understood the story just now, and when he saw that he was all sad, he began to sing in a tone.

"Husband, how can you be happy in all directions. Since I walked the rivers and lakes at the age of eight, I have felt that people should be happy, and the luck of the bandits who love to laugh will not be too bad. I'm not blowing, I used to be a dart master, once a person with a client a package, overnight to send to the township eight hundred miles away, but I didn't want to travel halfway when suddenly jumped out of the woods a colorful tiger, fortunately the night was clearer, otherwise I would have died and I don't know whose mouth I died. The tiger came out of the woods as a black shadow, and its fist-sized eyes shot out with a fluttering light that could shake people to death, but thankfully I didn't make eye contact with it. But my horse was not as clever as I was, and showed that his front hooves were raised, and he kept neighing, apparently surprised, but when the horse landed on the ground, he stared at the big eyes and fell to the ground with a plop, and I fell off the horse without paying attention. The horse's mouth was still puffing, and I think he was foaming at the mouth. The tiger may have been a dumb tiger, and the one didn't bark. I got up and didn't run or rush, I just pulled out the ghost head knife in my waist, hey-hey-hey-hey laughed three times, guess what happened to that tiger!"
