On a jagged and steep cliff, Ma Hui and Xu Haoran nervously pulled a rope. In fact, the rope was still tied to a big tree behind them. There was no need to worry about it, but Ye Xiaotian was tied under the rope, and all the people under the cliff It is a sharp and towering strange rock, once it falls, it will be smashed to pieces, how can they not be worried.
Hua Yunfei was climbing on another rope, and Zhou Ban was watching from above. Although Hua Yunfei was tied with a rope around his waist, the rope was loose. He could almost climb easily without using this rope. Just in case.
Ye Xiaotian stepped on a rock gap, holding a protruding rock in his hand, and leaned out to observe carefully on the cliff. The mountain wind howled, blowing away the sweat on his forehead, and the lower part was more than 20 feet away from the ground. The feeling of dizziness and weak legs, after a long time, I gradually got used to it, but it was quite exciting.
"Brother, let's go up!"
Ye Xiaotian has been watching for a long time, in order to observe the surrounding situation carefully, most of his body leaned into the air, the rope was tightly stretched, Hua Yunfei was not afraid of climbing the hanging rock by himself, but seeing Ye Xiaotian like this, he was worried .
Ye Xiaotian nodded, and with the help of Ma Hui and Xu Haoran, he tried his best to climb up the cliff. Zhou Bantou saw that Hua Yunfei was climbing up like a spirit ape, so he left him in peace, rushed to Ye Xiaotian, and asked, "My lord, what are your plans? The following Although the river has plenty of water, but... we can't use it!"
Zhou Bantou pointed behind him. From here to the canyon where the two villages of Gao and Li are located, there are four or five peaks intersecting in the middle. Almost, to dig through this continuous mountain and river, I am afraid that it will take all the power of the whole country, and it will take three to five years.
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I'm not sure whether my method is feasible, let's go, let's go over there first. Huh? Where's the big guy?"
Ye Xiaotian went to the deep mountain to inspect the big river today, thinking that the terrain and environment here are complicated, few people come here, and he doesn't know if there are any large beasts, so he brought the big man here. The big man is like a king kong, especially on the mountains, like a fish in water, with it, everyone's safety is guaranteed.
As if he heard Ye Xiaotian's greeting, the big man roared up from under a cliff, turned somersault in the air, landed firmly in front of Ye Xiaotian, and grinned at him. This guy was very bored at home recently, he was finally brought out by Ye Xiaotian, so he naturally had fun.
Ye Xiaotian kicked it on the buttocks, and said: "Go! Open the way ahead!" The big man was kicked, overjoyed, and ran ahead excitedly, towards the jungle that no one had entered since ancient times. Shrubs walk past.
Almost no one has ever been to this place. Woodcutters would not run such a long distance, and hunters would not hunt in such dense bushes. Even if you walk on the ground, you can't walk a hundred steps in a morning, but now you have a big man, it's completely different.
The big man is huge, more than twice their height, and the bushes that are as tall as a person can only reach his waist. Just grabbing it with a big dustpan-like hand, it can uproot several bushes with its infinite strength, so Ye Xiaotian and others will naturally save energy after following it.
Ye Xiaotian followed the cliff and turned to the nearest mountain. There was a ridge connecting the two mountains, but the ridge was covered with dense shrubs. The big man charged forward, pulling up and down repeatedly, frightening many snakes, insects, birds and beasts to run around. After a small half day's effort, they finally came to another mountain peak.
Ye Xiaotian stood on the mountain peak and looked around for a long time, then pointed to the ridge connecting another mountain peak, and said, "Go! Go there!"
This ridge is bare, so there is no need for a big man to clear the way, but it forms a ">" shape with the ridge that we just passed. If you go this way, you will be farther and farther away from the valley where the Gaoli Village is located. .
If they wanted to go to the valley where the two villages of Gao and Li were located, the straight-line distance was of course the shortest, but in that case they could only slide down the hillside, pass through a narrow valley, climb up the steep mountain opposite, and climb over mountains and ridges to pass.
Ye Xiaotian is now walking along the ridges, although it is tortuous, but as long as he can find a road that connects the ridges connecting the mountains, it will be much faster than crossing the mountains. Going back and forth like this, until the third day, Ye Xiaocai detected a zigzag mountain road connected by ridges, which could reach the middle of the two villages of Gao and Li.
…
When it was getting late, Ye Xiaotian brought people back to the city, because he finally found out the way, although Ye Xiaotian was tired, he was in good spirits.
It's just that even though there was a big man clearing the way for him, Ye Xiaotian crawled around in the jungle where few people came, his clothes were still torn, grass stalks and debris were all over his head and body, dirt and moss were still standing on his clothes, He looked embarrassed.
Ye Xiaotian walked to the rain-prayer platform and saw Xu Boyi sitting on the platform weakly like an eggplant beaten by frost, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, turned around and walked to the rain-prayer platform.
Xu Boyi was starved to death every night, and then starved to death all day long, and couldn't sleep well. At this time, he was dozing off weakly, when he suddenly heard the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps, he couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Food delivery from Huazhi County is here!"
Xu Boyi opened his eyes excitedly, seeing Ye Xiaotian, his face immediately turned cold, and he glared at him bitterly, but seeing Ye Xiaotian's distressed appearance clearly, Xu Boyi couldn't help laughing again, gloating: "Ye Dianshi How did you get into such a mess? Could it be that you have dug a canal to divert water, hehe! There are so many mountains and hills, waiting for you to dig a canal to divert water is not as reliable as my prayer for rain."
Ye Xiaotian sat down casually opposite him, and said with a smile: "I won't starve to death if I can't get water, but if the rain doesn't continue, I don't know if you, Mr. Xu, can last until that day. But I'll see what you say If you are full of energy, you should be able to last for a while, haha... "
Xu Boyi snorted coldly, knowing that bickering was not Ye Xiaotian's opponent, so he whispered: "Have you had enough trouble! If you really starve me to death, and the news is sent back to the imperial court, you will believe that the official is here to pray Die in the rain? Then you, Ye Xiaotian, will be involved."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "If you are so cruel that you will die, Ye is willing to take on this relationship. I am afraid that when Huazhi County delivers food, you will hide in the toilet and gobble it up again, hahaha..."
Xu Boyi's face that was robbed by him turned red and white, and he said bitterly: "Ye Xiaotian, you don't have to be complacent! If the drought continues to be unresolved, you will be the one who will be sad. You think you still have a few more days to spend, Gao Li Liangzhai will not wait indefinitely. If you can't come up with a solution immediately, Liangzhai will turn his anger on you. At that time, you can't live or die. I'd like to see who is uglier ,Ha ha ha ha… "
Xu Boyi laughed triumphantly, and the laughter didn't stop when the big man suddenly jumped up from the stage with great enthusiasm.
"Boom!"
The huge body of the big man hit the stage heavily, and Xu Boyi was thrown into the air with a "whoosh".
The big man's huge foot was stepping on a wooden board on the edge of the altar, and as a result, the rain praying platform was cut short. The board was not nailed firmly, and it suddenly looked like a seesaw, so Xu Boyi bounced into the sky. Fortunately, the big man stood firmly on the other foot, and his reaction was flexible. The center of gravity of his body quickly shifted to the other foot, so he still stood firmly and did not fall off the stage.
Xu Boyi still kept his sitting posture, but was ejected into the air, his head hit the wooden board of the ceiling with a "bang", and then fell back to the ground with a "boom", unexpectedly he still kept his sitting posture, and the board was stepped on by the big man. Fortunately, there was only one piece of wood missing under Xu Boyi's buttocks, and his buttocks got stuck there, so he didn't fall off.
It's just that his head was hit hard by the roof of the shed, and his buttocks were stunned again. Stars flashed in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a while. Seeing that the big man who had caused a catastrophe shrugged his shoulders like a child, he quickly jumped off the altar again.
With the jump of the big man, the wooden board that was stepped on by its huge feet fell down with a "huh", Xu Boyi stared at Ye Xiaotian with staring eyes, the board fell, and knocked on the ground with a "bang". On his head, Xu Bo's eyes were staring straight, his body swayed twice, and he fell on his back on the stage, unconscious.
Ye Xiaotian took a bowl in his hand, scooped a bowl of water from the altar, gulped it down, shook his head and sighed: "If people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth with cold water!"
…
The county government third entered the courtyard. In the flower hall, the magistrate of Hua County was drinking tea, while Su Ya was sitting sideways on the Luohan couch, carefully cutting a piece of fabric with scissors.
Although she was sitting idle in the back house, she still maintained an elegant and dignified sitting posture, her long legs were close together, slightly turned to one side, her waist was slightly twisted, and her buttocks were stretched out in a round and plump arc by the skirt embroidered with lotus flowers.
When Hua Zhixian saw his wife cutting clothes, he felt a little uncomfortable, took two sips of tea casually, and wanted to find an excuse to leave. Because Su Ya is making a baby's clothes, the two of them have been married for more than seven years, and they still have nothing to produce.
Every time she sees other people's children on weekdays, Su Ya's eyes are very hot. When I have nothing to do, I often show off my strengths and make some clothes for boys and girls. In fact, for the sake of their children, the two secretly visited famous doctors from all over the world more than once.
Unlike the ignorant folks who put all the responsibility of having children on the woman, scholars in ancient times understood the truth that children are conceived by "father's essence and mother's blood". When the two invited a famous doctor, the famous doctor also said that Su Ya was in normal health, even if Huazhi County wanted to blame the lady for it, it would not work.
What's more, Hua Qingfeng was originally a poor scholar, and he was able to study and pass the Jinshi exam with peace of mind thanks to the support of his father-in-law who owned a silk workshop. He owed the Su family a deep debt, and he didn't have enough confidence to show off in front of his wife.
Furthermore, for this matter, his father-in-law once bought him a maid to accompany him to bed, and said that once he becomes pregnant, he can help him as a concubine. As a result, Hua Qingtian worked hard for a year, and the maid she bought didn't lay eggs. After this, Hua Qingfeng knew that the reason was probably on her own body. When she saw Su Ya thinking of her child again, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Hua Qingfeng was about to go out pretending nothing had happened, when a servant girl came in and said to him with blessings: "Master, Ye Dianshi is asking to see you, and now we are waiting in the second hall."
When Hua Qingfeng heard Ye Xiaotian's name, her heart skipped a beat, and she changed her face in fear, "It's so late, what is he doing here?"
