Sweet Garden Bliss

It was almost dusk at this moment, and it would be dark early in the winter. After eating a full meal, everyone lost their strength and stared blankly at the wilderness covered with ravines.

Perhaps the soil fertility here was artificially destroyed during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the saline-alkali land became more and more serious. This wasteland is nearly [-] acres in size, and the villages are scattered in the distance.

Digging tunnels is too much work, and the results of these ravines have been spent in one day, and the whereabouts of the bandits and the three civilians have not been found yet.

Do you just let it go today?There are still so many women under guard in the county government, and the people in the villages dare not go home to live alone.

What's more, the thieves never said that they would sleep separately at night, and would never come out to harass the people. Maybe they were hiding in some corner right now, gnashing their teeth, blowing up, digging and flooding their tunnels. …

"Look for lamp oil and light the torches. We have to fight fiercely with bandits tonight!" Magistrate Hu is not confused at critical moments. It doesn't matter if we get nothing even tonight. No new demon moths can be born!

Not to mention that County Magistrate Hu has some skills, he guessed that the thieves and bandits were inseparable, from the moment the first wisp of smoke that choked their throats was lit, the "Captain Mojin" dared not be careless , They retreated quickly along the tunnel, and blocked the corner where the thick smoke protruded in an orderly manner.

It's a pity that the counterattack was too violent this time, and soon it was replaced by an earth-shattering explosion. Fortunately, the thieves ran fast, and their hunched bodies seemed to be so clever in the tunnel.

Returning to the lair was finally able to take a breather.It is estimated that no matter how powerful the opponent is, they will not be able to find it here, but the crowd can detect that the opponent has changed to flooding again. Water is a seamless thing, and no one can guarantee that mounds or lime can block all of them. aisle.

Fortunately, the sky finally darkened, and the thieves planned to use the darkness to retreat to the ground. Although they were used to breathing underground to feel comfortable, what their opponents did today shocked them every step of the way.

At this moment, there is no one in each village, as if all of them evaporated in the world at once, only the large wasteland.The torches burned fiercely on the undulating slopes.

"It's a pity that the gunpowder won't be delivered until tomorrow at the earliest, otherwise I really want to blow up the whole land!" County Magistrate Hu gritted his teeth and whispered again. After a busy day, his gums became more and more swollen.

"Now we have to conserve our strength. As soon as everyone leaves the bucket, they should close their eyes and take a rest." The princess's voice became more and more gentle.Only those who are familiar with her know that the more gentle the princess is, the closer she is to the limit of madness.

The water from the small river is still pouring into the tunnel, but this time it has changed to a new direction, so the house will not continue to be poisoned.

A blaze was spotted in the distance, and there seemed to be a lot of people rushing in a chaotic manner.Everyone was so nervous right now that even Xiaojie didn't dare to act alone.

"Could it be that the bandits went to the county seat? Come back now to destroy us?" A man guessed with a hoarse voice.At this time, it is easiest to lose everything.

"Your thieves will hold torches to exterminate us? Looking at the way they dug up the wasteland, you know that there is no promising man among the thieves. They will only work secretly, and it is absolutely impossible to hold a torch in the open !"

The man who answered was smart, and he got the princess' eyes of admiration.

Just like darkness cannot permanently drive out light, just like evil will eventually be defeated by justice, evil things are always afraid of being exposed in front of people.The ones who are willing to come here holding the light are the hot-blooded men in Zhuyang County!

The explosions of the day had already aroused enthusiasm in their chests.If the county magistrate's wife hadn't ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and the men in Zhuyang County were patrolling the city in groups to protect the safety of the city, they would have come out long ago.

There are yamen servants who go back to report the news, bringing the news of the wasteland back to Zhuyang County. All the people are now looking forward to arresting the bandits and rescuing the captive woman earlier.

Since you haven't found any bandits after a busy day, you can't make the men outside the city tired of fighting, right?After being begged again and again, the wife of the county magistrate, who was also worried, finally agreed to send some young and strong men to come to support.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Ah Yuan's face, because under the light of the torch, the two leading young men were very familiar.

If Cailian is here, you can make a good comparison between these two people and see who is better.

That's right, He Cong and Hu Buyu led the way.

"Father, princess, Mr. Qian, we are here to help you!" Hu Buyu's eyes were shining brightly under the light of the torch.

There is no teenager who does not yearn for the opportunity to be a hero. The "shrinking turtle" usually only sinks willingly when he is old. I heard that Hu Buyu's talent surpasses that of his own father, and he has also worked hard in martial arts.

In fact, speaking of it, he is a bit similar to He Cong, he is a good man with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, but because of his family background, He Cong is a bit of a villain, and Hu Buyu is a standard upright person.

"Sister Ah Yuan, have you eaten yet? Cai Lian asked me to bring you some snacks." He Cong said calmly, first holding a small package.

"There are also cotton-padded cloaks and dog-skin mattresses. Cailian said you should use these first and make do with them. If the ground is wet and cold, you can rest on the mattresses for a while." Hu Buyu also had a task from the lotus-picking girl. It seems that these two men just They all met with Cailian.

There is no time to think twice at this kind of time. Ah Yuan is really tired. She is the only woman among the black men, and she doesn't need to be polite to anyone. The legs were flattened, and the cloak was wrapped tightly.

The wind on a winter night is really cold to the bone, Zhang Dashan and Bazi are standing in the wind, they say that martial arts practitioners are not afraid of the cold...

The injection of the new force made it easier for the "soldiers" who formed a line to pass the water source. Buckets of river water continued to irrigate the tunnel, and the sound of water seeping into the ground and flowing could be heard in the ears.

"The water is flowing slowly, and it is spinning back..." The guard standing at the front shouted, and County Magistrate Hu and Mr. Lu Qian hurriedly followed to check.

Sure enough, once the river water poured in, it would go in without hesitation. Now, it is obviously slow, and a puddle has formed at the entrance of the tunnel...

what 's wrong?Bandits blocked the passage?Do you want to keep watering?

Mr. Lu Qian didn't know what happened today. Ever since he ate the princess's barbecue, he began to trust the princess blindly. Now, rubbing his waist, he came to A Yuan's side again.

County magistrate Hu also took a few steps. His shrewdness was that he respected the opinion of the princess from the beginning to the end.

The slope where Ah Yuan is located is the highest, and she is also looking around at the moment, combining with the dark and exposed tunnel ravines on the ground, tracing it with one finger...

If the tomb robbers wanted to find the treasure, they would definitely not be able to find a random place to dig. The name of "Captain Mojin" has been passed down for so many years, and every gully may have been carefully designed and calculated...

Before Mr. Lu Qian and Magistrate Hu made a sound, they were stopped by A Yuan's gesture, and her fingers were still drawing. Unexpectedly, there is still a main line in these ravine tunnels!

Like a black dragon, lying on the wasteland with a heavy body, the slanting forks on both sides are the dancing claws of the dragon...

The thinnest and farthest tail is the failed tunnel that was originally discovered to lead to Zhuyang County, so——where is the dragon head?

"You—come and see!" Ah Yuan's voice was a little trembling, and his body was still feeling chills under the cloak.

County magistrate Hu and Mr. Lu Qian stood on the slope hesitantly, their eyes followed A Yuan's fingers, tracing over and over again...

"This is a poisonous insect with countless vicious claws. After constantly digging and adjusting its direction, it finally found its destination, which is - the head of this poisonous insect!"

In the cold winter night, Ah Yuan's voice was light and ethereal, but the four men around him immediately understood the meaning. They just stopped when the water was pouring into the farmer's house. In fact, the location is the most important!

No one knows that there is a tomb under that place. Naturally, it is possible that someone built a house on it after many years. Maybe this family actually lives quite happily, but they don’t know that there are bones under their feet, and there are many crises...

Mr. Lu Qian's voice suddenly rose, and a person who had practiced kung fu was like a lion roaring: "Li from Qijiazhuang is hurrying over here!"

It turns out that this is Qi Ayuan's hometown. I don't know if my predecessor missed this place before leaving. Now that I have revisited the old place, if the real Qi Ayuan knows, he will feel a lot of emotion, right?

A half-grown old man stumbled over. To be honest, the village of Qijiazhuang must not be rich, because as the highest official, Mr. Lizheng, he looked dilapidated.

"Which family does this house at the entrance of the village belong to?" County Magistrate Hu asked, pointing to the "leader".

"It's the old man Xu's house, his daughter, the first one I can't find!" Lizheng's voice trembled a little, not only because of the cold, but also because of an inexplicable panic in his heart.

Even the old man who once said that he wanted to blow up his daughter to death in the tunnel has now sold his daughter to the princess.

Ah Yuan shook her head, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

"Please tell old man Xu, I bought his property, it will be flooded in a while, and it may also involve other people in a while, don't be afraid, when the matter is over, I will give them a fortune With money, you can take your family to settle in a better place."

If the faucet continues to spread, Ah Yuan doesn’t mind buying the entire village. What’s the point of lingering in a poor and half-dead place? After a thorough transformation, maybe the salted fish may turn around... (To be continued. If you like For this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
