Chapter 738 Heart-Eating Gu

Time flies and another half a month has passed.

The drought is still continuing, and people have begun to flee in the provinces with the worst drought.

The situation in Huaiyang Prefecture is better because Lin Ruan and Prince Shen found a way to suppress the grain merchants in time, and because half of the city was passed by the river, although water resources were short of, it could still support the people's daily water needs.

The situation in other provinces is already very serious. The emperor even issued an imperial edict to keep Prince Chen in Huaiyang Prefecture, for fear that someone would make trouble while taking advantage of the drought.

Seeing that the drought was getting worse, Lin Ruan explained his thoughts to Prince Chen after careful consideration.

"Maternal grandfather, I plan to go out."

Prince Chen wiped the sweat from his head and asked, "Where are you going to this hot day?"

Due to the shortage of water resources, Prince Chen no longer asked Lin Ruan to make ice.

Lin Ruan took the fan and slapped himself hard, "I plan to find an empty and deserted place and use my ability to grow food. I can plant a batch of food in the shortest time, at least to ensure that the people can have food."

Prince Chen was stunned, "You can still grow crops with your ability?"

Lin Ruan nodded, took out a sweet potato seedling that had been prepared, and inserted it into a flowerpot filled with moist soil in front of him.

The next scene will be unforgettable for Prince Chen in his life.

I saw that the sweet potato seedling, which was originally shrouded in the sun, regained its vitality like chicken blood, and became watery. Then, it quickly thrust at an amazing speed. In just a few breaths, it grew lush and lush.

Lin Ruan grabbed the root of the vine and lifted it up, and the whole sweet potato was uprooted in front of Prince Shen, who had completely petrified.

The huge sweet potatoes were presented to Prince Shen. Prince Shen, who had been rigorous and stylist all his life, even reached out to poke the big sweet potatoes childishly, obviously unable to believe everything he saw in his eyes.

Lin Ruan pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandfather, everything you see is true. My ability is not only to control animals, but also to these crops."

In fact, in the dungeon of King Chu, Lin Ruan told Prince Chen that he could control plants, but at that time, all his attention was attracted by the kowtow mouse, and he forgot about the others.

Prince Chen was surprised for a while, returned to normal, and said with a serious expression: "A Ruan, if others know about your ability, do you know what kind of trouble will be?"

Lin Ruan nodded, "I know, and I know that the decision I made today can easily reveal my secret. But I can't see so many people starving to death with my own eyes. If the Great Zhou is in chaos, the efforts of my grandfather and the ancestors of the Shen family will be wasted. So, I want to take a risk and I will try my best to hide my abilities."

You should not be too selfish when you are a human being.

God asked her to be reborn and gave her this ability. If she really only used it to live her own life, it would be punished by God.

Although this may cause her trouble, she still doesn't want to stand idly by.

Just treat it as good deeds, do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

I hope that God can protect Xiao Jingchen and the sons of the Shen family at the border for the sake of her ability to save countless lives.

Prince Chen looked at Lin Ruan for a while, then patted her shoulder hard: "Good child, I am worthy of being a descendant of my Shen family. Okay, let go and do it. If you have any needs, tell my grandfather. I will definitely protect you. If your secret is really exposed, even if I fight for my life, I will protect you."

Lin Ruan was moved and opened her arms and hugged Prince Chen, "Grandfather, I will definitely be fine."

Prince Chen patted her: "Good child."

That night, Lin Ruan took a letter from Prince Chen, prepared some dry food and medicine with him, and brought flying catkins and Luohua to Chenwu Mountain, preparing to ride the golden eagle to Lingnan.

When Fei Xu and Luo Hua watched the golden eagle turn into the size of a house with their own eyes, they were so scared that they almost disappeared, but they still did not forget to stand in front of Lin Ruan and try their best to protect her.

The golden eagle cried in dissatisfaction and flapped its wings.

The strong wind brought by the giant wings made the three of them feel a little unstable.

Lin Ruan exhorted the Golden Eagle, and the Golden Eagle came down honestly and stood there motionlessly.

Feixu was a person who knew some of Lin Ruan's secrets. He swallowed his saliva and returned to normal.

Luo Hua was shocked.

Lin Ruan smiled at the two of them and asked them to use their light skills to take themselves to the golden eagle's wide back.

Until the golden eagle flew to the sky with the three of them, Luo Hua suddenly came back to her senses by the evening breeze.

The sound of the wind in my ears and the dark sky at the moment made Luo Hua know that this was not a dream.

I wanted to ask too many words, but after seeing the look I handed over by Feixu, I swallowed them all.

Before dawn, Lin Ruan and the other two arrived in Lingnan safely.

From the golden eagle's back, Lin Ruan said to the two of them in the face of the Chenguang: "This is my ability. Feixu noticed it a lot ago, but I didn't want to make it public to you before. The situation this time is different. I told you two of you. I hope you can keep this secret for me."

The two looked at each other, then knelt solemnly in front of Lin Ruan, each took out a box he carried with him, took out a strange-shaped bug from it, stuffed it into his mouth in front of Lin Ruan, and swallowed it.

Lin Ruan was startled by the actions of the two, "What are you doing? What are you just swallowing?"

Fei Xu smiled at Lin Ruan, "Don't worry, the things we just swallowed are just worms. As long as you take the medicine within the specified time, the worms will not have any impact on us."

Lin Ruan asked blankly: "What if I can't take the medicine after more than the time?"

Luo Hua said calmly: "The heart and internal organs are eaten by the worm, so this worm is called the Heart-Devouring Gu."

When Lin Ruan thought of that scene, she couldn't help but shivered, "Did you plant this Gu... to prove to me that she will protect this secret for the rest of her life? Why are you so stupid?"

Fei Xu smiled and said, "Neither county lord is qualified to plant the Heart-Devouring Gu. Luo Hua and I are very happy to be able to keep the secret for the county lord in this way. If the county lord thinks that we are unreliable one day, we can let the worms solve the problem for you."

Lin Ruan was really shocked. She really didn't expect that Feixu and Luohua would express their loyalty to her in this way.

"Who gave you this Gu worm? Xiao Jingchen?"

The two nodded, "It was given to us by the prince before he left. The county lord, this is the most trustworthy person in the prince's hands. The prince told him that as long as the county lord asks us to keep the secret, he will take it in front of you."
