In the dead of night, a dark shadow flashed, startling the sleeping cat.

"Wow-"

The cat's scream came, waking up Lin Xing in her sleep, she turned over and sat up, saw a figure swaying outside the window, put on her robe and followed.

As soon as she walked outside the door, she saw a person falling in front of her, Zhou Yan shook the folding fan and raised her eyes to look over: "Still not sleeping?" ”

"Did you hear anything?" Lin Xing furrowed her brows, with a faint sense of foreboding in her heart.

Zhou Yan also frowned slightly, and said lightly: "It should be a voice from the southeast, and now the flood is serious, maybe someone is very hungry and caught the wild cat to eat." ”

Lin Xing's head, such things are indeed uncommon.

Zhou Yan patted Lin Xing's shoulder and comforted: "Tomorrow, the people from the more serious Stone Village will also come, you go and rest and recuperate." ”

The next day, Lin Xingfang woke up and heard that the cat raised by the county keeper had died.

She and Zhou Yan glanced at each other, and the well keeper said that it was the well keeper, but the big guys knew that water was the capital to save their lives, and few of them really wasted the water.

Especially now that the flood is spreading, the well keepers are busy with their own family's one-third of an acre, where can they take care of this well.

The only person who often walks around the well is the well keeper's cat.

It is used to staying next to this well with the well keepers, eating and living here, this time, Lin Xing and Zhou Yan glanced at each other, and there were more suspicions in their hearts.

The soldiers who carried the water had returned.

Lin Xing came to the water tank, scooped up half a scoop of water with a spoon, and put it in front of her to carefully inspect it, Xiao Yi analyzed three or four times in a row under her urging, at first he was still in good spirits, and finally he was paralyzed in Lin Xing's knowledge.

"I think we need to talk about trust."

Lin Xing wiped her sweat: "Is there a problem with this water?" ”

"Take the future of my system, the water in this tank is indeed clean."

"You brought this water back from the well?" Lin Xing asked the soldiers.

Seeing that they nodded, Lin Xing was still a little relieved, seeing that it was about to be the time for soup porridge, Lin Xing could only let them go to cook porridge.

She and Zhou Yan stared at each other for a long morning, and only then did she relax when she saw that these homeless people did not have any uncomfortable reaction after eating porridge.

When he returned to the house to rest, he heard someone hurrying to find a banquet.

Lin Xing couldn't rest assured, and also followed, and sure enough, he heard a report: "Your Royal Highness, the crops in Stone Village have all withered. ”

"The same is true for Goldwater!"

A few more government soldiers came one after another, and what they said was nothing more than saying how many places in Cangzhou had dried up.

Thinking of the strange sound she heard last night, Lin Xing understood it almost instantly.

This is being transferred from the mountain.

All their energy was in the well, but the man was poisoning somewhere else.

One night plus a morning, combined with the places where Zhou Yan heard now, almost all of them were the area around Jinshui Town.

It seems that the person is from the vicinity of Goldwater.

Zhou Yan bowed his head, they didn't know much about Cangzhou, and they didn't know anything about the county.

In desperation, Zhou Yan could only find Su Xiaoxiao again and asked, "Do you know who is lonely and extreme in Jinshui Town or around here?" ”

The logic of Zhou Yan is very simple, this kind of large-scale indiscriminate poisoning.

Unless it's psychologically twisted, you won't do this kind of thing lightly.

Su Xiaoxiao tightened her robe and said with an innocent face: "I usually have good friends with the people in the town, this ...... I really don't see who has this tendency. ”

This is true.

Lin Xing looked at Su Xiaoxiao's current situation, and her heart was mixed.

If she honestly does business in Jinshui Town, with her overwhelming support in Jinshui Town, she will become the richest man in Cangzhou in less than three years.

But her mind was not right, which shattered the trace of sympathy in Lin Xing's heart.

"It's a pity that I did something bad with good intentions this time for the soup kitchen, and now that the Jinshui Post House has been destroyed, I am not as good as usual in everyone's minds, and I can't help you with anything." Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be pitiful, put the basket in front of Lin Xing and Zhou Yan, and lowered her eyes and said, "These are all the medicines I have planted in the past few months, most of them are ruined, and these are the ones that can be used, you can see if there is anything that can help." ”

Lin Xing glanced inward, and it was indeed some rare life-saving medicinal materials.

Su Xiaoxiao also cares about the people of Cangzhou.

She sighed, stroked Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "This matter itself is not your responsibility, and you don't have to blame yourself too much for it." ”

"Why doesn't Zhou Yan eat so much oil and salt? I'm so selfless, or don't I see his favorability growing? ”

Lin Xing was startled by this sudden voice.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Zhou Yan and Su Xiaoxiao both looking at him in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yan asked.

Lin Xing shook her head, seeing Zhou Yan's unaware look, she thought of the same voice she heard when she held Su Xiaoxiao that day.

Is she checking the favorability of Zhou Yan again?

Even these medicines were not sincerely given to the victims?

Lin Xing has always been a Buddhist, and she only looks at the results of her work, not the hearts of the people.

But in the face of Su Xiaoxiao this time, he was really depressed in his heart.

She subconsciously looked at Zhou Yan, his face was expressionless, and he was indeed not disturbed in any way, Lin Xing waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's just a shiver." ”

Before the words fell, a trace of suspicion flashed in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.

The last time they were in the restaurant, Lin Xing had stiffened a little.

"It's been cold recently, and Madame still has to pay attention to adding clothes." Su Xiaoxiao said empathetically, "I just saw that the victims of Stone Village were transported over, and the injuries are not light, you should go and have a look, don't delay people's lives, I'll leave first." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, picked up the red cloth covering the basket with a folding fan, and looked at it carefully, before putting the medicinal materials in Lin Xing's hand: "You take these to solve the emergencies of the victims first, and I will investigate the case." ”

Zhou Yan made it clear that he didn't want Lin Xing to interfere.

Lin Xing was also happy to do her duty, she took the basket away and went to the temporary refugee camp in Zhixian County.

Master Li, the new faction of the imperial court, was holding the drawings and directing something on the table outside the door, and Lin Xing walked in to take a look, and several people were studying how to deal with the flood.

Although the heavy rain in Cangzhou stopped, many places piled up a few zhang of water.

The Baitiao River and the Yiyang River in Cangzhou were all full, flooding the surrounding five miles.

Now is the time to find a way to unblock the water.

However, Master Li used a brush to sketch on the drawings, and he was actually calculating how deep the soil had to be piled up on the shore to block the embankment.

"Now the plan is to pile two zhang of soil on the side of the Baitiao River, and three zhang of soil on the Yiyang River."
