Allure of a Country Maiden

Xiaoer looked at the more than 20 criminals, and saw that most of them had skinny faces and listless spirits, and some seemed to be enduring great pain.

The only one among them who looked a little fatter had a slumped look on his face, his head lowered and he kept coughing.

These people are sick.

But it's not surprising. If the prisoners are exiled here, isn't it just to let them slowly become worse than death in a harsh environment?

"When were you exiled here?"

"Some of us went two months ago, and some of us went a month ago." A man who had been kneeling there with his back straight and who looked young replied.

It became like this in such a short time? Xiaoer was a little surprised.

Is this place really so deserted?

"Is there not enough fresh water here? Are there many people? Have all the original people left? Are there any people who have not moved out yet?"

"It's enough. There's no one else here except us." The people here don't live long, and they will die within half a year at most. There is still a lot of fresh water on such a big island, how could there not be enough, the man thought.

Xiao'er thought thoughtfully after hearing this. The ants were still living an ignoble existence and had enough fresh water. Although they were exiled, they would not live like this!

Xiaoer felt that they looked like their end was approaching.

Could it be because these people used to be able to stretch their hands with clothes and open their mouths with food? They were used to living a good life, but they couldn't stand this kind of hard life.

Apart from this reason, Xiaoer could not find any other reason.

But this island was a bit strange. When she came here, she felt completely uncomfortable.

"Let's go to the Yamen first." Shangguan Xuanyi took Xiaoer's hand and looked at the person who just answered: "How to get to the Yamen?"

"Go straight along the biggest street and you can see it at the end."

"Let's go, let's take a look around, and go to the Yamen to check the local logs." After getting the answer he wanted, Shangguan Xuanyi lowered his head and whispered to Xiaoer.

To understand a place, it is most convenient to check the local government logs.

"Okay." Xiaoer looked away from the criminals, and then walked forward with Shangguan Xuanyi.

"I always felt that the officials and soldiers of Nangong Kingdom were a little impatient to leave just now. They were actually waiting at the edge of the dock with the contract documents. As soon as we arrived, we started signing the contract without saying a word, and left after signing, as if there was something scary here. ." Xiaoer said what she was thinking.

"The abnormal illness of those people should not be caused by the hardships of the exile." Shangguan Xuanyi explained calmly.

That's why he just sent Zhao Youwei to take people around to see if there was anything suspicious.

The two of them used Qinggong and quickly flew towards the end of the street.

Many of the houses along this road are in disrepair and have obviously not been inhabited for many years.

"The master's husband is quite smart." At this time, Xiaobai's voice sounded in Xiaoer's mind.

"Xiao Bai, do you know the reason? Why didn't you tell me just now?"

"I was a little busy just now, so I didn't notice it."

"Busy? What are you busy with?" Xiaoer didn't know why.

"I'm busy giving birth to Xiaobai, and I'm also showing Yun'er around the space."

Xiaoer: "..."

Busy giving birth to Xiaobai! ! ! But how do two geese give birth? Xiaoer felt a little dirty and her face couldn't help but get hot! I can’t think about it anymore!

Hey, if you say it so directly, it won't be embarrassing, you will be embarrassed!

"Ahem, um... that's right! What are those people sick for?" Well, she was so embarrassed that she was even incoherent!

"This island has a large rock that contains strong radiation."

"Did it actually exist?" Xiaoer's face darkened after hearing this.

No wonder the people on this island look lifeless.

"No, it's been a few years since I moved here."

It's been a few years since we moved here, so it's no longer directed at them.

"Where is the stone?" Such things must be removed immediately!

Otherwise, it would be a pity that such a beautiful island would become a dead island because of a stone.

The climate of Ji'er Island has no winter all year round. Xiaoer also wants to open up wasteland here and grow rice three seasons a year.

But the stone has been here for several years. Even if it is moved, the things grown cannot be eaten, which is a pity.

We can only wait a few more years for the radiation here to dissipate before we can open up wasteland again.

"Right in the middle of a densely populated area."

Place a stone with strong radiation in the middle of a living area? This is deliberately making life worse than death for the people on this island.

The way Emperor Nangong treats criminals is comparable to Ling Chi!

Shangguan Xuanyi suddenly pulled Xiaoer to a stop in front of a red and green stone.

He glanced at Xiaoer, who had been silent for too long: "Why is your face so red?"

Xiaoer touched her face: "It's probably hot."

She would never say anything about how the two geese gave birth to Xiaobai just now!

Shangguan Xuanyi had no doubt that he had it. He opened the folding fan in his hand with a slight push with two fingers, and then fanned Xiaoer while walking: "Girl, do you think it's strange that this huge stone is placed here?"

This stone is red and green. It looks strange, but it is definitely not beautiful. Although there are some other lake stones placed nearby for decoration, this is the roadside, not the backyard of the mansion. There is no need for decoration!

"Brother Shangguan, Xiaobai told me that there is a big stone in the center of the densely packed houses, which can release strong radiation. I think it refers to this stone, and those people must have been affected by strong radiation for many years and became sick."

"What is radiation?" After hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi pulled Xiaoer quickly away from the stone.

"Radiation is..." Xiaoer explained briefly.

After hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi picked up Xiaoer and used Qinggong to go to the dock: "You stay on the boat and wait for me. And hurry up and take some pills!"

After hearing this, Xiaoer immediately shook her head and broke away from Shangguan Xuanyi's arms: "Don't worry, you have to take pills anyway, so why not leave a little later!"

"Obey!" Shangguan Xuanyi had to stop because of Xiaoer's struggle.

"We have already been radiated, so why not stay a little longer! Besides, a small amount of radiation is not a big problem. I really like this island and want to take a good look."

"Wait until I have someone move this stone away before we take a look." Faced with Xiaoer's stubbornness, Shangguan Xuanyi said impatiently.

"Even if the stones are moved away, within a few years, every plant and tree here will still be radiated. Don't be afraid. If you were afraid, Xiaobai would have told us to leave."

Shangguan Xuanyi stopped insisting after hearing this.

"Brother Shangguan, where are you going to move the stone?" Stones containing radiation will contaminate the place wherever they are placed.

So it can only be placed in an uninhabited place.

In fact, it is safest to transport this stone to the depths of the desert, but the distance is a bit far, one to the north and one to the south.

There were quite a few places we passed along the way. The transporter can't deliver it non-stop, he has to eat and sleep!
