Chapter 142: Oriole Vine

Then he placed the wine glass in his hand on the table.

"Then this hidden map of mountains and rivers is lonely!"

In two days, Xia Luochen and Bai Youan turned around the east and west of the city, and they all had a general understanding of the situation.

The east of the city is close to the moat, and every time it rains, it causes the water of the quicksand river to rise, and now the autumn rain is continuous, and a slight overflow of water is also a common thing, which is not very serious.

But this year, there was a flood, the depth of the water was as deep as the chest of an adult man, and it was shallow enough to reach the knees, and the ears of wheat were not harvested.

The western part of the city is close to the desert of the northern region, but there has never been a drought, and no one knows why.

When he first arrived in the west of the city, the desolate scene of the city was not shocking enough, and what surprised Bai Youan was the withered grass everywhere.

Like huge lanterns, clusters grow on the ground.

"What kind of plant is this?" Bai Youan blinked curiously.

"I've never seen it either."

Xia Luochen approached a little closer, and cut it down with the saber in his hand, only to find that the withered grass was deeply rooted in the soil, not as if it had withered, but as if it exuded vigorous vitality.

Just as he was surprised, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Welcome to the Third Highness, Princess Protector."

"Wei Rongxuan?"

Looking at his outfit, he should have become the lord of the city.

"An An, I miss you to death." Zhu Linlin was not as well-behaved as him, she rushed to Bai You'an's side with a big grin and hugged her tightly.

Now Zhu Linlin has pulled up the woman's hair bun, and her body has a little more stability, and she seems to be plump.

"Sister, An An misses you too." As always, the glutinous voice made Zhu Linlin motherly, and pulled Bai Youan towards the city, followed by Xia Luochen and Wei Rongxuan.

"Now there is a great drought in the city, and there is a shortage of food, so there is nothing good to entertain you, and you will eat it." Zhu Linlin's face was slightly guilty.

Hearing this, Bai Youan noticed that Zhu Linlin, who was previously bejeweled, was dressed plainly at this time, and it seemed that after becoming the wife of the city lord, she retreated from her previous pampering and was united with the people.

"It's okay, An An is here to help my sister." Xiao Tuanzi shook his head, not caring about the food at all, but asked about the city first.

"Sister, what's going on with those withered grass clusters?"

Wei Rongxuan took the first step to explain, his expression solemn.

"It wasn't a mass of dry grass, it had never been in the city before, and since it had it, the drought began. It will roll down with the wind after about a month of growth, but wherever it rolls down, all the dead grass grows so innumerable, and it is difficult for the people in the city to control it, so we call it a water-absorbing grass, and we suspect that this drought has something to do with it. ”

Such a vigorous vitality is not comparable to even a cactus in the desert.

"What about fire?" Bai Youan asked tentatively.

Zhu Linlin shook her head and couldn't help sighing.

"My husband and I have used many methods, the fire is inexhaustible, the chopping is endless, rooted in the ground, it is difficult to remove, it goes and returns, and it is endless."

"It's not a water-absorbing grass, it's a folded ear vine." At this time, Xia Luochen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him.

"I have seen this grass in the land of the classics, and it is as difficult to remove as you described."

"So what to do? Xiyang City will not be dry, it is definitely suitable for this grass. Wei Rongxuan was eager.

Xia Luochen shook his head.

"The texts say that this grass only grows in extremely arid areas, and there is no way to remove it."

Everyone in the room fell silent, and their faces were all dejected.

"Since you can't use fire, use water."

The clear voice sounded, and everyone's eyes looked at Bai Youan in surprise, faintly with incredulity.

"The princess is really joking, the fire is not yet usable, and the water does not make it grow more vigorously?"

"Nope." With a childish look of ambition on her face, she pulled out a medicine bottle from her bosom.

"An An is not talking about ordinary water, but the water of the Ganges."

The Ganges River is the legendary river of God in ancient times, and it does not belong to the human world.

This is a bottle that she carried with her when she entered the room, and compared to the water in the mortal world, it can exert her spiritual power more, so that her spiritual power is pervasive in all aspects, and the growth of the broken ear vine is cut off.

"Then how do I cooperate with you?" Wei Rongxuan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have hope again.

"It's very simple, just find the source of the whole water source and drop it in."

"Great, An An, I'll go and prepare!" Zhu Linlin was overjoyed, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Wei Rongxuan.

"You are pregnant, how can you run around? I'll go here to recuperate. ”

"Sister, do you have a baby?" Bai Youan stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth, surprised.

They have only been separated for three months, and they didn't expect Zhu Linlin to get pregnant so soon.

She shy and happily reached out and gently stroked her belly, and her whole body exuded a soft maternal brilliance.

"It's only been a month, how can you be so squeamish?"

"Why aren't you squeamish? This is my sister's baby, so sit down. ”

Xiao Tuanzi hurriedly helped Zhu Linlin to sit down, looking at the excited look, as if he was happier than Wei Rongxuan.

The round little head was gently close to her belly, and her dark eyes were wide and wide.

"The baby is still young, so there should be no movement." Zhu Linlin reminded with a smile.

"How so? I feel like the baby is kicking me. ”

The ghostly little appearance made everyone present smile.

The two of them waited here, while Xia Luochen and Wei Rongxuan marked all the possible sources in the city, and took Bai You'an to try it the next day.

At the end of the day, I tried almost everything, but none of them succeeded.

Seeing the little water left in the Ganges, Bai Youan waved his hand and sat on the side of the road with his knees hugged in distress.

"I can't just try it anymore, the Ganges River is running out."

"City Lord Wei, have you really been to all the places in the city?" Xia Luochen couldn't help but confirm again.

"Yes, wherever there is a lot of water, all of them go."

All of a sudden, the crowd became clueless and went back.

After Zhu Linlin learned of the situation, she patiently comforted the three of them.

"Don't worry if you don't find it today, we'll go back tomorrow."

Xiao Tuanzi had a bitter face, and his little face was wrinkled.

"Sister, this Ganges River is running out of water, and there is not much margin for error."

This is a difficult time for everyone.

didn't eat much for dinner, even when he went back to the room, Bai Youan dragged his little cheeks in the room to ponder.

"Princess, your body is expensive, how can you withstand such exertion? Let's recuperate first. Seeing that the weather was a little cooler, Chunhua picked up a thin blanket and draped it over Bai Youan.
