Chapter 871, The Dry River

It sounded that Lu Qianyu's plan was successful, he let the nine-tailed fox break into Guo Sunxiong's interior, so as to carry it out, and if there was a chance, Lu Qianyu also let the nine-tailed fox rescue Qiu Luoluo according to the urgency of the situation.

According to Lu Qianyu's prediction, it will take some time for the nine-tailed fox to save Qiu Luoluo, since after she went back, Guo Sunxiong did not kill her, which shows that Guo Sunxiong did not seriously doubt her position, so the nine-tailed fox has gained a firm foothold in front of Guo Sunxiong, which is good news.

I know everything I should know, and I don't know what I shouldn't know.

The conversation continued to shift to Guo Sunxiong's eastward upward movement.

He didn't go to the northeast, but went to the northwest, the northwest direction, what the hell, so Guo Sunxiong, or rather, Guo Sunxiong changed his course, which was tantamount to going in the opposite direction, in vain.

Regarding this, Lu Qianyu still needs to wait for some time to discuss it with everyone.

The three prisoners were already useless, Lu Qianyu opened the net, released them, and issued a silver ingot to each of them, so that from now on, they would change their faces, cut off contact with the past, and become a new person.

After the three of them left, the post station did not have to stay, Lu Qianyu and his party were about to Qichen, and the problem appeared again, to chase Guo Sunxiong, it was bound to go to the northwest, but how to chase, the horses were killed in the attack just now, the other party implemented the old saying, shoot people first and shoot horses, there are no horses, it is too late to hurry, only rely on their legs, people who are not good at light skills, are bound to fall behind, even if it is Lu Qianyu, perform light skills, the time is not long, and the consumption is very large, obviously it will not work.

In the face of this difficulty, Lin Xing said, "Chasing Guo Sun Xiongdao is not busy, from the northwest back to Xiaoxian to the peak, it is a long way, at least ten more days and half a month, I see that I can see the town soon in front, and there is some silver, you can go to the market to buy horses, a day or two at night, what does it matter, it is a small problem." โ€

"In the northwest direction, Guo Sunxiong is not there, I don't know, I think, the one in the right foot, catch up first, and those who don't have the strength of the foot, go to buy a horse, catch up first, and meet halfway, which is the best. Lu Qianyu said.

Lin Xing and Tie Jinshun nodded, thinking that this plan was feasible, so they sent Pang Liang, Wang Yan, Tang Shi, Jiang Hu and others to continue to walk forward, encountered towns, bought horses, Lu Qianyu, Tie Jinshun, Xu Laifeng, Lin Xing and others pursued for a period of time with their feet, consulted Guo Sunxiong along the way, and left a mark, so that everyone could follow.

This method was praised by everyone, and everyone, the soldiers were divided into two ways, and they didn't say much, and set off immediately.

Without horses, Lu Qianyu and others can walk on small roads, climb high hills, walk hills, walk through woods, and walk on flat ground. Walk very fast, three hours later, the feet are weak, everyone came to a wild, here is a river loop, very barren, not far away, see a watermelon field, everyone rushed for a long time, during the period, Lu Qianyu walked the fastest, the distance is far, you can wait for rest, others can't, the speed is slow, to keep chasing, running for three hours in a row, how can there be no tired, see the melon field, everyone is happy, looking to sell melons to quench their thirst.

The unbearable melon field, about three or four acres, surrounded by meadows, is a cultivated land that has been opened up, there is a small melon shed in the middle, on the ground, there is an old man is weeding, at this time, just right, the watermelon is ripe, the melon in the melon field, the growth is gratifying, afraid of scaring the old man, Lu Qianyu and the others collected the weapons, Lin Xing went up to talk, and asked down, this place is called the dry river loop, the old man who grows melons, surnamed Zhou, Zhou Laohan initially saw Lin Xing alone, polite and polite, not afraid, and then saw Lu Qianyu and a large group of people, he was a little worried, and asked Lu Qianyu what he was doingใ€‚

Lin Xing said, they are bodyguards, Zhou Laohan has little contact with the people in the rivers and lakes, but is a real farmer, does not know martial arts, people who know the roots, you can see at a glance, the old man's home is in a small village ten miles away, he opened a piece of land here to grow melons, when the harvest is good, it can also subsidize the family, the most important thing is that there is no need to pay taxes, a few families, sometimes, all rely on the melon field, this year, farmers are not easy, Zhou Laohan chatted with everyone first, took a few big watermelons, cut them, and distributed them to everyone to tasteใ€‚

The soil of the Hetao is generally sandy, no water, the watermelons grown are very sweet, and they are all sandy, the juice is not very much, some people like juicy watermelons, some people like this kind of sandy watermelons, each has its own preferences, can eat a mouthful of refreshing watermelon on a hot day, it is a beautiful thing, everyone is eating, chatting, Lu Qianyu saw the Hetao not far away, twisting and turning, along the barren grass and into the distance, so he asked: "Planting melons here, are you not afraid, the river is rising, will the melon field be submerged?"

Zhou Laohan said: "Young man, you don't understand this, within a radius of ten miles, I dare to grow watermelons here, have you seen other melon fields?"

Lu Qianyu shook his head and said no.

The hero said: "That's right, they don't dare to plant watermelons, this year, planting corn, sorghum, soybeans, millet, in order to ensure food and clothing, that is food, people can't be shortage, melons are different, this is a tooth sacrifice thing, there is no him, for farmers, dispensable, there is only so little land at home, who dares to plant melons, so can only grow melons on the ground that has been opened up from this kind of wasteland, I have planted here for three years, that is, I have taken a fancy to the land here, covered with a layer of fine sand, planting melons to keep sweet." Others dare not plant melons because they are afraid of working in vain. โ€

Lu Qianyu said: "Why is this, aren't you afraid of working in vain?"

The old man smiled: "They thought that this place was close to the river, and the river would be full without knowing which day, overflowing, and flooding the melon fields, so they were lazy and afraid of wasting time, but I was not afraid, because I knew that this river would never come again." โ€

Xu Laifeng said with a smile: "Could it be that you Zhou Laohan will pinch his fingers and not be able to count, how do you know, the water in the river will not regenerate, if it rains, there will be water in the river, I think other people think well, your melon field is so low-lying, once the river comes with water, it must be submerged." โ€

The old man smiled faintly, stood up, pointed to the dry river and said: "Everyone, you see, this river is from west to east, and its source is a branch of the water of the Linjiang River, however, the water outlet is a small canyon, because of an earthquake three years ago, the valley mouth was blocked by stones on the mountain, I went to see it several times, and found that the valley mouth is difficult to dig up, and the water of the Linjiang River cannot pass. Since ancient times, it is common for rivers to be diverted, and without the water of the Linjiang River, the river will dry up for a lifetime. โ€
