"Then Master, where are we going now? How to investigate?" Sun Da asked.
"Go to the north. Several villages over there have also seen strange phenomena of fish emerging from springs." Shen Yuyu said, "In addition, you have to ask around to see if there has been any earth dragon turning over here before."
"Yes." Sun Da nodded, "Master, let's go now."
With that said, the two walked to the door of the house.
"Where are you going, Girl Shen?" As soon as Shen Yue revealed her head, Aunt Bai came over with a few snacks, with a wary look on her face, "Girl Shen, Ah Xun told me that I want you to take good care of the baby. , He is responsible for the outside affairs."
As he spoke, he turned his head and sensitively noticed the burden Shen Yuxi was carrying. He quickly put the food plate on the table and looked at Shen Yuxi nervously.
"Why are you carrying a baggage like this?"
"Auntie." Shen Yue looked at Auntie Bai with a smile, "Auntie, I have something to do and need to go out for a few days, can you just take a break?'
"No." Aunt Bai shook her head, "You girl, don't run around outside. You are pregnant now. Even if you don't feel any discomfort, you are still a pregnant woman. You need to be raised well."
Shen Yuyu held Aunt Bai's hand and acted coquettishly,
"Hey, auntie, I'm not that delicate, nothing will happen to me."
"Besides, I'm a doctor. Many pregnant women and their children are in danger of being saved. Aren't they all saved by my medication?"
"Brother Sun and the others will always protect me. I will be very safe."
"This~~" Aunt Bai was extremely hesitant, but also felt that Shen Yue's words were quite reasonable. She asked after a while, "Where are you going? How many days are you going to go?"
Shen Yuyu explained: "If we go to the north, we may go to Tongzhou. The time is uncertain. It depends on whether the problem is serious or not."
"Girl Shen is going to investigate the phenomenon of fish emerging from the spring water recently." Just in case Aunt Bai was worried, Sun Da explained, "This matter can be big or small. If it is big, it will be a serious matter, and the queen has to go out."
Aunt Bai's expression became solemn when she heard this.
"Since we have to go, Girl Shen can't ride a horse, she can only ride a carriage."
"Okay, I know." Shen Yuyu nodded, then gently stroked her abdomen and said solemnly, "Auntie, don't worry, the child in my belly is the fruit of my love for Ah Xun, and I will definitely protect him."
"Okay." Aunt Bai nodded, thought for a moment and then looked up at Shen Yue, "How about I go with you? It's good for someone to take care of you."
Shen Yuyu shook his head, "That's not possible. The palace is all managed by the aunt. If you leave, wouldn't it be a mess?" He shook Aunt Bai's hand hard and said, "Don't worry, I promise you nothing will happen. .”
There is indeed a lot to do in the house, but Aunt Bai can't handle it. She can only explain it again and again. Don't work too hard. Walk half a day and rest half a day every day. Don't rush around.
After explaining everything, he took Shen Yuyu to sit down and drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge before letting her leave.
There was no need for a coachman, so Sun Da drove the coach out of the house.
Things in Niujia Village were aroused, and people on the street were in small groups. Everyone looked solemn and talked about it.
"I heard that the land cow has turned over, what should we do?"
"In Kang'an City, things like this happened before. At that time, there was also a phenomenon like all the fish in the pond dying. How about everyone run away?
"Why are you running away? We didn't escape from the war, and now we are just chasing the wind, and we are so scared? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is His Highness the Night King and the Night Princess."
Shen Yuyu was sitting in the carriage and did not dare to lift the curtain to look. She was worried that people would surround her and ask for confirmation, and she did not know how to answer.
Mr. Sun can only maintain order, and the notice board is full of notices saying 'Don't believe rumors and don't spread them.'"
But it had little effect. The city gate was full of carriages leaving the city, and many wealthy people were preparing to leave with their families.
"Where are you going to evacuate?" Two carriage drivers nearby were chatting, "To the north or south?"
"Of course we are going south. There is going to be a war in the north." Another coachman said in panic, "His Royal Highness has sent millions of soldiers to Luozhou. This time it will definitely be an extremely cruel and deadly battle. The south is safer. At worst, we will go to Da Qi."
"That's right, it's safe to go south, and we are going south too.'
Sun Da drove the carriage and went out of the city gate with these people.
After leaving the city gate, all the carriages diverted to Lingzhou City, except Shen Yuyu and others who went north.
Along the way, I met many people fleeing war or disasters, driving oxcarts, driving horse-drawn carriages, and people on foot. It was even more chaotic than usual in disaster years.
"Madam, why are you still going north?" Many kind-hearted people I met on the road reminded me, "Everyone is fleeing south, so don't go in the wrong direction."
Shen Yuyu took the opportunity to ask him about the reason for fleeing and asked where they came from.
Many of these fleeing people came from Tongzhou, and they also came from Yening City.
"There was a strange phenomenon in the spring in our village. The water was so hot that you could get cooked eggs. We were afraid that the earth dragon would turn over, so we hid in the south." said an uncle from Yening City.
"Uncle, what's the name of your village?" Shen Yue asked.
"It's called Tongmu Village. Just walk a hundred miles north and you'll be there." The uncle said and hurried away.
On the carriage, Shen Yuyu analyzed with Sun Da, "Dawan Village, Tongmu Village, and Tianmen Village~~ strange things are happening in these three villages right now.'
"Tongmu Village is to the north of Dawan Village, and Tianmen Village is to the north of Tongmu Village~~ Let's go to Dawan Village first.
Sun Da asked curiously, "Master, do we have to go to these three villages? What to investigate and how to investigate."
"We must go to three villages." Shen Yuyu replied, "Check the water temperature. Whichever of the three places has the highest water temperature indicates that the problem is the biggest.'
Shen Yuyu replied. After being silent for a while, he made up his mind and said, "The journey is long and the carriage is too slow. Let's go there on horseback."
"This can't be done." Sun Da said anxiously, "It's too bumpy to ride a horse, so don't do it."
"I know, but if you don't ride a horse, you won't be in a hurry." Shen Yue's expression was quite solemn, "But don't worry, I have a very soft saddle here, so it will be foolproof."
Shen Yuyu showed Sun Da the shock-proof saddle he bought in the space. After seeing it, Sun Da felt that it was indeed extremely soft.
It’s the default.
The two people immediately changed from riding a car to riding a horse. It was indeed much better to have a shock-proof saddle, and the speed was several times faster. They arrived at Dawan Village that evening.
The whole village was quiet, and I didn't see anyone after walking for a long time.
After a while, she met an old man who was wearing a cane and had difficulty with his legs. Shen Yuxi hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Uncle, is there a well in the village with fish coming out of it? Where is it?"
"Ah? What? What's smoking?" Not only did the uncle have problems with his legs and feet, but he also had hearing loss. Shen Yuyu spoke to him at the top of his voice for a long time before he understood.
"The well where the fish is coming from is over there." The uncle pointed in a direction with his walking stick, not forgetting his kind advice, "Why are you going there after everyone has escaped? There is going to be a disaster, so you should leave here quickly."
"Then uncle, why didn't you leave?" Shen Yuyu asked again in a loud voice.
The uncle didn’t know whether he heard me clearly or not. He seemed to be answering or talking to himself.
"I am a lonely old man. I have no children and my legs are inconvenient. Otherwise, I would have left long ago. I heard from my grandfather that there was a dragon in the field and countless people died. It was terrible. Alas.'
After saying that, the uncle continued to give Shen Yuhu some advice, but when he saw that he couldn't be persuaded, he could only shake his head and leave.
"Brother Sun, give this money to that uncle." Shen Yuyu took out two ingots and ten taels of silver notes and handed them to Sun Da.
"Yes." Sun Da took the silver and hurriedly caught up with the old man and gave him the money.
The uncle was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and then he told Shen Yuyu to kneel down.
Shen Yuyu quickly supported the uncle. Every time she saw poor people, she felt deeply in her heart.
There are too many people living a difficult life in ancient times. If they want to improve their lives, they must have a wise king. Reducing taxes, promoting farming, and maintaining peace and stability in the country are the only way to go.
After receiving Shen Yuyu's money, the man with handicapped legs insisted on taking them to the wellhead in person.
His ears are deaf and he only talks about himself.
"Five days ago, suddenly there were fish coming out of the well. Well water, I guess, but it's not that cold, and it's not hot at all."
"Yesterday, the water temperature suddenly became hot. All the fish were scalded to death, but they were still edible, so I took a big bucket home."
"Today's water is even hotter. It's scalding to your hands. You can take a bath directly.'
Listening to the uncle's words and walking forward, Shen Yue looked around. Just as the uncle said, everyone in the village had fled. Except for a few stray dogs looking for food, no one was seen.
From a distance, I saw mist steaming ahead, which should be the wellhead.
"Uncle, please go back. Thank you very much." Shen Yuhu knew that the uncle couldn't hear, so she leaned into his ear and said loudly.
"No thank you, no thank you." The uncle had a smile on his face, his mouth was open and his front teeth were exposed. After thinking for a while, he took out another ingot of silver that Shen Yue just gave him and gave it back to Shen Yue. "Mrs. , I can’t use so much silver, you can take this ingot back.”
"Get out of here early, it's dangerous here.'
Shen Yuyu didn't know what to say. She couldn't give an accurate judgment on whether or not it was dangerous or how dangerous it was.
After thinking for a while, he put the ingot of silver back into the uncle's hand, and said to the uncle, "Uncle, if you think you are in danger, go out and hide. You can just take the money."
"This~~" The uncle's eyes were full of emotion, and he kept saying words of gratitude beside him.
Shen Yuyu had no time to waste, the uncle said from the side, and she had already gone down to the mouth of the well.
I tested the water temperature with my hands and found that the body temperature was at least 30 degrees Celsius. It would definitely be difficult for fish to survive at this temperature.
However, it is impossible to be accurate just by testing the temperature with your hands. Shen Yuyu took out the thermometer he bought from the store and inserted it into the water.
"Thirty-eight degrees five." After Shen Yuyu picked up the thermometer and looked at it, he took out a small notebook and recorded the name of the place and the detailed temperature.
