Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 821
"Steaming? How come the spring is steaming?" The companion asked in surprise, and Shen Yuan was also puzzled.

The man seemed to have seen it before, and explained, "You don't know? The water coming out of that spring is not ordinary water, but hot water."

"Hot water? How hot? Is the fish that comes out dead or alive?"

"When I came to see the fish two days ago, the fish were still alive and the water was warm. In the past two days, I heard that the water temperature suddenly became hot. Look at the steaming water. I don't know if the fish are dead or alive."

Just as he was talking, someone came out with two lively fish and replied enthusiastically, "I'm alive, but I won't know after a few days. The water temperature is getting higher every day."

Shen Yuan and Sun Mengmeng became more curious after listening to the conversation of others, and followed the flow of people to the spring.

The closer you are to the spring, the more crowded people are. Shen Yuan even saw several familiar figures, Wang Shishi, Jia Yao, and Chen Lihua~~
These three people are the eldest daughters of the three richest families in Kang'an City, and they are surrounded by men and women with many companions.

"Get out of the way, everyone out of the way." Several young masters in gorgeous clothes and holding folding fans loudly drove away the people blocking the front.

The group of young masters and ladies that everyone saw were the children of rich families in Kang'an City, and they all took the initiative to move out of the way.

Shen Yuan and Sun Mengmeng just followed behind them, heading for the mouth of the well.

The well mouth was surrounded by people on three floors and three floors outside, laughing and shouting from time to time.

"Two cents a piece, come and buy, come and buy, don't get in the way if you don't want to buy, give way!"

"Two pennies a piece? Isn't that too expensive?"

"Two pennies are too expensive? Have you ever seen this fish? It's not something that can be caught in the river. It's delicious."

"There are too many people, Sister Yu'an, let's take a look outside." Sun Mengmeng held Shen Yu'an's hand. They were pregnant after all, so if they were accidentally knocked down by such a crowd, it would be troublesome.

"Yeah, there are few people over there, let's stand there." Shen Yuan pointed to a stone slab not far away, and pulled Sun Mengmeng to stand on the slate.

This stone slab is on a relatively high terrain, although it is far away from the wellhead, but the other side of the wellhead is unobstructed.

The well for spraying fish was located under a large rock wall, and it was built similarly to the well in Shenjia Village. One well was for drinking, the second well was for washing vegetables, and the third well was for washing clothes.

At the moment, the three wells are all steaming, and the water temperature is not to mention high, there will always be more than ten degrees.

As for a well, the spring water gushed out, and at the same time, the white scales billowed, and it seemed that the spring water gushing out was full of fish.And the whole well is surrounded by a high fence, just to prevent people from "looting" and robbing the fish.

There are also quite a lot of people buying fish, some carrying buckets and others carrying basins. "Give me two."

"Give me five."

"I'll give you ten, pick the big one for me."

The village head of Jinglitou led a few men with smiles on their faces, while receiving the money, and at the same time catching fish for others.

While watching the bustle, the wind direction suddenly changed, blowing steam towards Shen Yu'an.

"This? What is this smell?" Shen Yuan sniffed strangely, she seemed to smell a sulfur smell.

"I also smell it." Sun Mengmeng also said, "It seems to be a sulfur smell, but this is normal. I remember that there is a spring in our hometown, and the water that emerges is very hot, so there is such a sulfur smell. , that water can also be used for bathing to heal diseases."

"That's right, there is indeed this kind of spring water." Shen Yu'an nodded, thinking that what Sun Mengmeng said was called a hot spring, and the hot spring water contains sulfur and other minerals, which will have a sulfurous smell, and the taste should be similar to this spring.

But the difference is that the temperature of the hot spring can't change so fast, and there can't be fish in it.

And this spring used to be a normal spring, but now it suddenly becomes hot and smells of sulfur. What does this mean? Thinking of this, Shen Yu'an's expression became serious.

As a modern person, she knew that this was a harbinger of disaster.

Earthquake? Volcanic eruption? All may cause this kind of abnormal sign.

"Sister Mengmeng, wait here, I have to find out about this matter." Shen Yuan patted Sun Mengmeng's hand, "Sit here and don't move, I will come here to find you later."

"No, Sister Yu'an, don't go." Sun Mengmeng looked worried, "There are too many people over there, and besides, Wang Shishi, Jia Yao and the others are all there, so don't go there."

"It's okay." Shen Yuan gave Sun Mengmeng a relaxed smile, "Forgot that I know kung fu? They are the only ones who can't help me, don't worry and wait for me."

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he walked towards the mouth of the well.

"Village Chief, we'll take care of all your fish." Wang Shishi shouted outside at this time.

When the village head heard that it was all covered, he quickly raised his head and looked at Wang Shishi.

The country people were ignorant and didn't know that Wang Shishi was a well-known wealthy lady in Kang'an City. The village head asked incredulously.

"All inclusive? Miss, are you sure you want it all?"

"Of course we have to finish it." Wang Shishi raised her eyebrows proudly, "Today we will buy as much fish as you can get out of your well, but there is one condition, call everyone away, and we have to catch it ourselves.'

As she said that, she winked at the maid who was with her, and the maid stretched out a silver coin to the village head, "Here, this is the deposit from my lady.

The village chief was overjoyed when he saw it, and was about to pick up the money, when Shen Yuan interrupted him.

"The village chief wait a moment, I will pay you five liang of silver to go to the well to have a look and ask you a few questions, and then you can sell the fish to them, okay?" Shen Yuan said and took out a piece of five liang of silver and handed it to the village chief. .

"Okay, okay, that's no problem." Who would be unhappy to earn money? The village head was all smiles, and was about to pick up the money, when Jia Yao threw a 100 tael silver note in front of the village head.

"Village Chief, we are going to catch fish now, but no one else is allowed in." Said Jia Yao while looking at Shen Yuan provocatively.

Although Shen Yuan was wearing a veiled hat, Jia Yao recognized Shen Yuan's voice and guessed that she was Princess Ye.

When she mentioned Princess Ye, she gritted her teeth with hatred. At the beginning of the year, there was a banquet in the mansion, and she danced and performed. His Royal Highness Ye Wang fell in love with her at first sight.

But later Princess Ye suddenly led someone to rush in, and her men kicked her away, making her embarrassing in public, not to mention losing her chance to become the side concubine of Night King.

Now that the enemy's road is narrow, and she actually met her here, she must make things difficult for her.

Shen Yuan looked at Jia Yao, seeing Jia Yao's gritted teeth with hatred? He should have already guessed his identity.

At this moment, if Shen Yu'an lifted the veil to reveal her true identity, it would not be impossible to shock her, but Shen Yu'an would like to see how arrogant and arrogant these rich young men and women in Kang'an City can be.

She also took out a 100 tael silver bill and stretched it towards the village chief, "I just touch the water temperature and ask you a few words, and I hope the village chief will help me."
