At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 729
Early the next morning, Gao Bufan was woken up by the noise, dressed quickly, opened the door and walked out of the bamboo building, a soldier greeted him with a strange expression and whispered: "His Royal Highness, our boss is a bit weird. "

The old man in the mouth of the soldiers is naturally the captain of the soldiers, Gao Dahe, and Gao Bufan hurriedly asked: "What's so weird?"

"He was in a deep sleep, he couldn't wake up no matter what, and he didn't know if he was sick." The soldier said worriedly.

Hearing this, Gao Bufan knew that it was the sequelae of Lost Soul Fragrance, and said: "I guess he is too tired, don't worry about him, let him sleep for a while, then he will wake up by himself, by the way, Xiao Xu is now How's it going?"

Xiao Xu is the soldier whose head was hit by falling rocks, his name is Xu Shi, and the soldier in front of him is also surnamed Gao, named Gao Zhun, and like Dahe, he is a descendant of the Bohai Gao family.

Gao Zhun replied: "There should be nothing serious. I ate three bowls of dry rice last night. This kid is really lucky. He should be alive and well again in a few days."

Gao Bufan said after hearing the words: "That's good, by the way, why were you so noisy just now?"

The soldier Gao Zhun shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know either. The Miao people in the village are running towards the bamboo forest below. They can't understand what they are shouting. Maybe something serious happened."

At this time, Yang Qingruo came out from another bamboo building, wearing a green shirt with long sleeves, shoulders like a knife cut, obviously just washed his face, and there were still wet spots on his temples, his eyes and teeth became more and more bright, hard to describe Painting, even though dressed in men's clothing, still makes people's heart beat.

Gao Zhun, the personal soldier, didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly saluted, "Good morning, Concubine Qing."

Yang Qing rubbed Xia Fei's cheeks, and corrected: "It's called Erlang."

Gao Zhun hurriedly changed his words in embarrassment: "Good morning, Erlang."

Yang Qingruo rolled her eyes with a little shame, looked at someone in her with a smile, and asked, "What happened?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "I still don't know, how about asking a Miao person?"

As soon as Gao Bufan finished speaking, he saw two Miao women walking over with baskets. The baskets were uncovered, and the steaming rice porridge could be seen inside, which should have brought them breakfast.

The two Miao women probably could not speak Chinese, so they pointed to the baskets they were carrying and chattered. Unfortunately, Gao Bufan and the others did not understand a single word of the chicken-to-duck conversation. Finally, the two women The man simply put down the basket and left, Gao Bufan and others also gave up their plan to ask the two women.

The porridge is made of rice, and dried fish and shrimp are added to it, which smells quite fragrant. There is also a plate of pickles and a plate of boiled unknown bird eggs.Such a breakfast should be regarded as a hearty breakfast in a poor country, which shows that they did not treat their guests slowly.

However, due to the incident last night, the witch was covered in poisonous substances and insects, so Yang Qingruo became much more cautious, took out a silver needle from nowhere, and carefully tested every food to make sure Poison, so everyone can eat it.

Not long after Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo finished their breakfast, Ah Qing came running in sweat, with a lot of mud stains on his body, and his expression was abnormal.

Gao Bufan couldn't help wondering: "Hey, Xiaoqing came back from working in the fields so early?"

Ah Qing hesitated and said, "No... yes, did brother Gao get used to sleeping last night? Did breakfast suit your taste?"

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he smiled and said: "It's okay, I don't recognize beds, and I'm not picky about food."

Ah Qing grinned and said: "We Miao people are the same, we just have a place to live and have a stutter, we never choose."

"Did something happen in the village?" Gao Bufan asked calmly.

"No...nothing happened." Ah Qing replied awkwardly, subconsciously scratching the back of his head.

Gao Bufan frowned, and said displeasedly: "Since Xiaoqing doesn't regard us as real friends, then don't bother us, just leave now, Micro Motion, pack up, let's leave here immediately."

Ah Qing's face turned red immediately, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Gao, don't misunderstand, actually...it's nothing, it's just that the river in front of the village suddenly stopped flowing, and the second uncle said..."

Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo looked at each other and asked, "What did he say?"

Ah Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Second Uncle said that it was because my sister and I brought the Han people back to the village, which brought bad luck to the village. Now the river has suddenly stopped flowing. There's a bigger catastrophe happening."

Hearing this, Gao Zhun was furious and said, "Fart, we... the young master is destined to be rich and noble, and it is unspeakably expensive. To be able to visit your poor and remote village is a blessing that you have spent ten lifetimes in this poor Miao village. If it wasn’t for our son to save you, you and your sister would have died in the river long ago, and now you are avenging your kindness, slandering our son for bringing bad luck to your Miao village, and beating Ah Qing, I think you owe it to me!”

Ah Qing's skinny face was as red as a pig's liver, and he explained embarrassingly: "I didn't say this, it was said by the foolish second uncle, I don't believe it at all."

"Then you won't refute, just let that bad old man slander my young master?" Gao Zhun said dissatisfied.

A Qing said resentfully: "I refuted it, but Second Uncle is highly respected in the village, and everyone is willing to listen to him. They don't listen to what I say. If it wasn't for A-Mei who stopped me, the clansmen would have come to chase me away. You go."

Yang Qingruo couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard the words, her pretty eyes turned cold, her face showed sullenness, and she thought to herself, these Baimiao people are really a group of ignorant mountain savages.

A trace of displeasure arose in Gao Bufan's heart, and he asked, "Then Xiaoqing, did you come here because you wanted us to leave?"

Ah Qing hurriedly said: "No, no, brother Gao, don't get me wrong, my sister just asked me to come back and take Brother Gao to visit around the village and avoid it for a while, lest some incited clansmen come to block the door and make trouble, and wait for my sister to convince me Everyone, Brother Gao can come back."

Gao Bufan couldn't help nodding secretly, this concubine was indeed quite wise in dealing with things, she was thoughtful and prudent, but unfortunately she was a daughter, otherwise she would be more suitable to take over from Lao Tzu than his elder brother Ah Qing.

"My sister is eloquent, and if my dad comes forward, I should be able to convince the clansmen. Now I will take Brother Gao for a walk." Ah Qing said apologetically.

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "No need, take us directly to the river."

Ah Qing said urgently: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the people of the tribe are all gathered by the river now, and the crowd is so angry. If Brother Gao appears at this time, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire? At that time, everyone will drive you away. My sister can't stop it either."

Gao Bufan calmly said: "Don't worry, I will personally convince your clansmen, and if I don't go, I'm afraid your clansmen will really be in great trouble, maybe there will be heavy casualties."

Ah Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Brother Gao is serious?"

Gao Bufan said solemnly: "Of course, everything in the world has its reason, and any situation must have its own reasons. For example, if the river suddenly stops flowing, it is very likely that something happened upstream. There was an earthquake a few days ago, and there must be a reason for it. Secondary disasters such as landslides and collapses, the collapsed mountains will block the river, causing the river to be interrupted or even diverted. If the river is diverted, it will be fine, but if a barrier lake is formed, it will be dangerous."

Ah Qing asked awe-inspiringly, "How dangerous is this?"

Gao Bufan murmured: "The blockage of the river channel will cause the water level to rise rapidly, thus forming a large area of ​​barrier lake. When the water level rises to a certain level, the huge pressure may wash away the mountain blocking the river channel, and then a million The flood is surging down, and the villages and towns downstream are in danger of being washed away and submerged. For example, you, Ah Qing, could eat three bowls of rice for a meal, but now you are not allowed to eat. You will starve for ten days and nights, and then Let you eat three buckets of rice at once, can you eat it?"

A Qing shook his head and said: "Of course I can't eat it, it will burst my stomach."

Gao Bufan clapped his hands and said: "That's the reason. The river is flowing all the time. It was suddenly blocked for a few days, accumulated for a few days, and then drained all at once. Can the downstream hold it?"

"I can't stand it!" Ah Qing said awe-inspiringly.

"So hurry up and get your people to leave the river, leave the low-lying areas, let alone work in the fields, or you may die because of it." Gao Bufan said solemnly.

Hearing that Ah Qing could still sit there, he hurriedly said, "Brother Gao, I'll take you there."
