Hu Ling'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was in big trouble now.
Seeing her reaction, Qin'er pursed her lips and lowered her head sadly.
Seeing this, the mayor sighed softly and said dejectedly: "Mr. Tang, I have been reckless. Qin'er showed her naked body in public, her innocence has been destroyed, so just pretend that I never said anything."
In fact, all the other men turned around at that time and did not see Qin'er's body at all. The only person who saw her body was Hu Ling'er who put a cloak on her.
But the mayor's words made Qin'er's body stiffen, and her tears fell down.
Yes, she is already unclean, how can she still hope to match such an excellent man?
"Ah, that's absolutely not what I meant!" Upon hearing this, Hu Ling'er quickly explained: "I just... just me... I already have a family, and my wife is already three months pregnant, so I...
…”
Qin'er, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head when he heard what she said and looked at her in disbelief.
There was shock and sadness in his eyes...
Tears continued to fall from her eyes, which made Hu Ling'er feel very unbearable.
Just as she was about to say something, Qin'er suddenly raised her lips and smiled sadly: "Don't take your father's words to heart, sir. Qin'er feels a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she bowed to the mayor, turned around and left.
There were only two of them left in the room again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
The mayor's face was also embarrassed, and he said apologetically: "Young Master Tang, I was rude just now."
"It's okay." Hu Ling'er smiled, although she felt a little sorry, but the problem should have been solved temporarily.
Thinking of this, she added: "Then let's go to the river and take a look."
When the mayor heard this, he quickly stood up and said: "Okay, okay, please come with me."
Because she was afraid that the dirty river water would affect the fetus in her belly, Hu Ling'er covered her face with a piece of white cloth, and also asked the mayor who accompanied her to cover her face.
While walking along the Baihe River, Hu Ling'er quickly discovered a problem, that is, the water in the Baihe River seemed to be motionless.
Is this a pool of stagnant water?
Staring at the filthy water, Hu Ling'er asked: "Mayor, where are the inlet and outlet of the White River?"
When the mayor heard this, he quickly said: "This Baihe River originates from the Baiyun River in Wuyun Mountain. It was originally connected to the Baiyun River. However, after an earthquake decades ago, a huge boulder fell from the mountain and cut off the Baiyun River and the Baihe River.
, since then it has become a separate river, and the outlet is on the other side of Lingshan Mountain."
"Lingshan?" Hu Ling'er frowned, "Did you find the immortal you mentioned before on Lingshan? So what exactly is the so-called immortal? A fortune teller?"
Speaking of this immortal, the mayor's face turned ugly. After all, it was because of him that his daughter almost died in vain.
"There is a Qingxin Temple on Lingshan Mountain, and the immortal is the Qingliu Taoist priest in the temple."
"Haha, Qingliu Taoist, I think it's Fengliu Taoist, right?" Hu Ling'er smiled coldly and looked at the mountain peak not far away, "Is that Lingshan Mountain over there?"
"Yes." The mayor nodded, but Hu Ling'er said: "Let's go over there and have a look."
The mayor thought that Hu Ling'er was going to find the Qingliu Taoist priest, so he quickly said: "But Qingliu Taoist priest only receives guests at night, and you must make an appointment before going."
Meeting guests in the evening? Do you need to make a reservation?
This Taoist priest is really famous.
But Hu Ling'er didn't go there to look for him. "We are not looking for him, but we are going to see the outlet of the river."
"The water outlet?" The mayor was stunned and puzzled: "The dirty river water has something to do with the water outlet?"
Because according to the direction, if you want to find the cause, you must go to the water outlet or the source. It is impossible to find the problem at the water outlet.
So in the past year, the mayor and the people of Baihe Town have thought of many ways, but they have never gone to the water outlet.
Seeing the mayor's doubts, Hu Ling'er just blinked mysteriously and said, "You won't know until you go and see it, let's go."
Lingshan is located at the easternmost edge of Baihe Town, not far away, and the two of them soon reached the foot of the mountain.
While walking towards the water outlet, the mayor explained to Hu Ling'er: "This water outlet is very special because it is a cave that runs through the entire Lingshan Mountain. On the other side of the cave is the sea. The winter inside the cave
It's warm in the summer and cool in the summer. When we were little, we would often get in there to play, but then there was more and more water there, and people couldn't get in."
It turned out to be a cave.
While listening to the mayor's words, Hu Ling'er thought carefully, and at the same time, she also paid attention to her steps.
She never forgot that she was a pregnant woman. After all, no matter what happened, nothing could compare to the child in her belly.
Her hand couldn't help but touch her slightly bulging belly. Fortunately, her men's clothing was a little loose, so others couldn't see anything.
When she left this time, she was actually most worried about the child. Although she remembered Jian Xinan's prescription and took a lot of medicine with her before leaving, she was still a little uneasy.
So she must be careful and careful, just take care of things this time, and she must not meddle in others' affairs in the future.
"We're here." The mayor's voice came to her ears, and Hu Linger came back to her senses and looked forward.
But before he could see clearly, the mayor exclaimed: "Oh my god, why is this place like this?"
Usually at the water outlet, the water flow will be faster, but the water here is motionless, just like a black lake, exactly like the main river in Baihe Town.
Moreover, the mayor said before that there was a lot of water flowing into the cave, but now it is only a little shallow.
"It's just as I expected." Hu Ling'er looked at the situation in front of her and seemed to have understood.
Looking at Hu Ling'er who was thoughtful, the mayor quickly said: "Mr. Tang, do you know the reason?"
"I have roughly guessed it." Hu Ling'er nodded, and then said: "But we have to confirm it. Let's go to the town and call a few people who are familiar with water properties, and I will ask them to go into the cave and take a look.
"
The mayor nodded and immediately responded: "Okay, then I'll tell you immediately, Mr. Tang, you..."
"I'll wait for you here." Hu Ling'er interrupted the mayor.
In fact, she was already very tired when she had lunch. She had walked so much now and her energy was almost exhausted. She needed to take a rest.
