Ye Xiaotian squatted there, waiting curiously. When the geyser erupted again and the white water column rushed into the air, he suddenly turned his head and said to Hua Yunfei with great interest: "Yunfei, tell me, this water Can it flow to a higher place?"
Before Hua Yunfei could speak, Mao Wenzhi grinned and giggled: "Hahaha, brother, you are talking nonsense. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. It's an old saying! Even I don't Anyone who has read the book knows that if you want the water to flow to a high place, you must invite Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide."
Ye Xiaotian was immersed in his own thoughts, he didn't understand his joke for a while, and asked strangely: "Why did you invite Zhang Fei?"
Mao Wenzhi said: "Scared! You don't even know this? There is a roar in front of Dangyang Bridge, and the water from the broken bridge will flow back, hahahaha..."
Mao Wenzhi laughed a few times, seeing Ye Xiaotian, Hua Yunfei and Sister Sun all looking at him from the sidelines, slowly stopped laughing, and asked embarrassingly, "Don't you think it's funny?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head, turned his eyes to the spring water again, and muttered to himself: "Is it really impossible to let the water flow to a higher place?"
Sister Sun suddenly said loudly: "It can be done!"
Ye Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Tell me quickly, why?"
Sister Sun held a pair of pink fists and said confidently: "If Godfather wants it to work, it will do it!"
Ye Xiaotian: "..."
The corners of Hua Yunfei's mouth twitched a few times, and he held back a smile and said, "Brother, I think you might as well think about it alone if you discuss it with us."
Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly and said: "It makes sense, don't disturb me, I'll go to the stream to be quiet."
Ye Xiaotian walked back to the creek, sat on a big rock, rested his chin, and stared at the gurgling water in front of him in a trance. Gradually, as the sun set and the twilight dimmed, Hua Yunfei and Sister Sun left to find accommodation for 8,000 people.
The tycoon escorted dozens of carts of grain up the mountain, and the young seedlings worked together, and within a short time they moved everything. The tycoon walked up to Ye Xiaotian and said happily, "Brother, what are you thinking? If you don't want to go down the mountain, then Xu Boyi It's a mess now, why don't you take a look?"
Ye Xiaotian looked up at the sun hanging on the western mountain, got up and said, "Let's go down the mountain!"
Ye Xiaotian called Hua Yunfei and told him: "You stay on the mountain and don't go down easily. The people here are all Miao people, and others dare not approach you, lest they be recognized. By the way, tomorrow morning, you Accompany me for a walk in the mountains, and let's go see the big river you mentioned."
Hua Yunfei agreed, and secretly marveled in his heart: "Brother wants to see that big river in the deep mountain? What is it doing? Could it be that Big Brother sat by the small river all afternoon and really came up with a method that can make the water flow to a higher place?" How to flow?"
…
In the county government office, the subordinate officials and servants were on duty, and they walked out of the county government gate one after another.
The magistrates of this county are making a fool of themselves on the stage of praying for rain. Naturally, they don't stand in front of the stage and watch Xu Boyi's embarrassment like ordinary people, but everyone who leaves can't help but sneak a peek at the stage. Ninja couldn't help lowering his head and sprinting away.
Xu Boyi had been an ornamental animal on the stage for a day, and he was completely exempted from it. He was sitting on the high stage, and now he was looking forward to the dark with all his heart. He was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he only hoped that when it got dark, he could sneak home and have a hearty meal.
At this moment, Li Bohao took two people up to the high platform, and the two people behind Li Bohao were holding blankets and pillows in their arms. When Xu Boyi saw it, his eyes turned dark...
…
When Ye Xiaotian got home, he stretched out his hand to push the door, just as his finger touched the knocker, the door opened with a creak, and a pretty woman dressed as a young woman came out from inside, Ye Xiaotian's finger almost pressed on her plump and towering chest.
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly withdrew his hands, took a closer look, and quickly saluted: "Ah! It turns out to be the sister-in-law of the Zhao family."
Qian Qingqing smiled at him, saluted him with blessings and said: "Lord Ye is back, my family went to the city today to buy some daily necessities, and I came here specially to visit Yaoyao, I took the liberty of visiting, and I even prayed for forgiveness."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Where is it, Mrs. Sister-in-law is here, it's too late for Xiaotian to welcome you."
Yaoyao walked beside Qian Qingqing like a little adult, and was about to send her out when she saw Ye Xiaotian coming back, and said happily: "Brother Xiaotian."
Ye Xiaotian bent down and wanted to hug her up, but Yaoyao turned sideways and avoided his embrace.
Yaoyao received Qian Qingqing today, tried hard to recall what Shui Wu taught her, and gradually felt like a hostess, with a sense of accomplishment in her heart. She didn't want to be hugged by Brother Xiaotian in front of outsiders. Wouldn't the image of the heroine that was cultivated with great difficulty be destroyed
Ye Xiaotian hugged the air, he couldn't help being a little surprised, he quietly stared at Yaoyao, straightened up and said to Qian Qingqing: "Is sister-in-law and Brother Zhao okay at the post station? Since my younger brother took office, he has been too busy with official duties and has been thinking about it." I went to visit Brother Zhao and Mrs. Sister-in-law, but unfortunately I didn’t have time to come.”
Qian Qingqing smiled mischievously, and said: "It's the same with my poor husband. I just took office and I am busy with all kinds of affairs. But I have nothing to do. On the way to Hu County, I get along very well with Yaoyao. I feel like a sister, so I came to visit her Yes. If Mr. Ye is not surprised, I will visit the door often in the future."
"Yeah!"
Yaoyao applauded, and immediately looked at Ye Xiaotian eagerly, although she always tried her best to look like an adult, but the childishness was always revealed inadvertently.
Ye Xiaotian scratched her flushed cheeks, smiled at Qian Qingqing: "Okay, I often run around outside, Yaoyao is really lonely at home by myself. If you don't think it's troublesome to take care of the children, you can come and walk around often. In case this girl complains that she has been bored at home all day when I come back."
Qian Qingqing said sweetly: "Then... that's the deal. Yaoyao, my sister will come to see you often in the future. Master Ye, I will leave as a concubine."
Ye Xiaotian and Yaoyao sent Qian Qingqing to the gate of the courtyard, Qian Qingqing boarded the car and left, Yaoyao immediately opened his arms, and said to Ye Xiaotian with a happy smile: "Brother Xiaotian hug."
Ye Xiaotian said with a straight face: "No hug."
Yaoyao immediately pouted like a pig, Ye Xiaotian said: "I wanted to hug you just now, why are you hiding?"
Yaoyao muttered: "Just now in front of Sister Qingqing, she is the hostess, so it would be outrageous to be hugged by you."
Ye Xiaotian let out a "puchi" laugh, hugged Yaoyao and said: "You little girl, you are still the hostess."
Far away, Ye Xiaotian walked all the way into the house, and she chattered all the way about how to treat guests calmly and how to answer properly.
Ye Xiaotian listened with a smile, and thought to himself: "This Qian Qingqing will have a sister with a little girl? I'm afraid this is Zhao Wenyuan's intention to get closer to me. Doesn't he know that I am talking to Huazhi County and Xu County? Cheng is fighting like a raging fire, or... does he believe that I can defeat that embarrassment?"
※※※
One wolf and one embarrassing, they are sitting opposite each other and sighing at the moment.
When the moon was in the sky, four strings of red lights were hung on the rain praying platform opposite the county government office. Surprisingly, a few people from Gaojiazhai and Lijiazhai were laying on the ground around the rain praying platform. Xu Boyi's idea of going home at night to have a good meal was completely bankrupt. However, Hua Qingfeng finally had some conscience and came to see him.
The two sat opposite each other, and when they mentioned Ye Xiaotian, they both hated it so much that their teeth itch.
Xu Boyi said: "He hired 8,000 seedlings to build a house? How big a house does he want to build? Now that there is a severe drought in Huxian County, some people are panic-stricken, and 8,000 people gather here. Wouldn't it cause a big mess. My lord, don't forget that the last year of the previous dynasty..."
Xu Boyi did not go on to say the following, because the last year of the previous dynasty was the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was the Yuan Dynasty that summoned the people to build the Yellow River, and some people climbed up and shouted, which led to the rebellion. It's just that this anti-military road later became a climate, and the Ming Dynasty was established. Xu Boyi couldn't compare them to rioters.
Hua Qingfeng understood what he meant, and comforted Xu Boyi: "You don't want to make a fuss about this matter. What Ye Xiaotian said is also reasonable. Nowadays, it is easier to ask God to send God away. However, he forced you to the high platform. How to resolve the dispute between the two villages of Gao and Li can only depend on him. If he can't solve it... "
Hua Qingfeng smiled coldly, glanced at the people laying the floor under the stage, and said word by word: "At that time, the people from Gaoli Liangzhai could have skinned him alive without using my own hands!"
"Gululu..."
Before Hua Qingfeng's cruel words hit the ground, Xu Boyi's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Xu Boyi said to Hua Qingfeng with a weeping face: "My lord, before the people from Gao and Li villages strip him, the subordinate officials will starve to death. Ye Xiaotian is really cruel, he actually wants to starve the subordinates to death here. On the high platform, you look at the audience... hmm?"
Before Xu Boyi finished speaking, he suddenly felt someone touching the back of his hand. He looked down and saw Hua Qingfeng was gently touching the back of his hand, and gave him a quick wink. There seems to be something hidden in the sleeve.
Xu Boyi was so blessed that he hurriedly used his big sleeves to cover up the things Hua Qingfeng handed over. The things were wrapped in cloth, which was quite warm. Xu Boyi was agitated, and quickly wrapped the cloth up, coughed, and greeted Hua Qingfeng Said: "The county lord, please sit down for a while, the next official is in a hurry, please avoid it for the time being!"
Hua Qingfeng smiled and nodded, Xu Boyi hid in the hut with a cloth bag in his mouth, the toilet curtain was drawn, Xu Boyi sat on the toilet, and couldn't wait to untie the cloth bag, which contained several freshly steamed white noodles Steamed buns, shredded pork with minced vegetables are sandwiched inside the steamed buns.
Xu Boyi, who was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, smelled the fragrance of the noodles and felt unbearably hungry. He immediately opened his mouth and started to eat voraciously. He ate three steamed buns in one go, and his hunger eased a bit, but he ate too fast and had no water to drink, so he choked and hiccupped.
Xu Boyi thought that there was only one meal a day, and if he didn't eat more at this time, it would be very difficult tomorrow, so he continued to stuff steamed buns into his stomach while hiccupping.
Xu Boyi was sitting on the toilet seat, watching the movement outside from the gap of the toilet curtain furtively, hiccupping and eating steamed buns, while eating, he suddenly felt sad, almost unable to shed tears: "I am I will try the third Juren! Huxian county magistrate! The court ordered the official! Why... ended up in this field!"
