It has not rained in this area since the end of March. The water level of the water pool, reservoir and river outside has dropped a lot, but this water pool supports 40 to 50 people, and the water level is still so high.
What does this mean?
This shows that this pool has always been supplied with water from other places!
"In the last life, these bandits have been guarding this place since the beginning. I think besides food, it was because of this water pool." Lu Yan said, "Since thousands of people behind them can live here, it means that there will never be a shortage of water here."
"It doesn't rain all the time to ensure there is enough water. I guess there may be an underground water source under the pool." He Yunxi said, "I just don't know whether it is a permeable type or an underground river. But this also points us in a direction. We may be able to
If we search more in the mountains, there may be other places with water sources like this."
"At this time in my previous life, I was still in poor health, so I didn't pay much attention to the mountains. But those trees were not dead. Later, I was hunted down and returned to Yanjiang County. When I entered the mountains, the trees were still growing.
Okay." Lu Yan said.
"Pursuit? Who is chasing you? Ding Anbo Mansion?"
"Well." Lu Yan didn't want to talk about how miserable he was that time, and continued: "I went into the mountains and saw a lot of bones in the mountains. I think someone discovered that the trees in the mountains were still green, so there should be many people going into the mountains.
But there were many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and the ferocious beasts had nothing to eat, so they just took those people to eat, so many people died."
"Yeah. If you really can't find a water source, this pool can feed a lot of people."
"When this matter is over, I will ask Song Jiang and others to search in the mountains to see if they can find the underground water you mentioned."
Song Jiang and Song He, who had not yet finished this task: "..." Can you take a breather?
Throughout the morning, Lu Yan and the others were waiting. Occasionally, if a bandit left the village, he would have people follow him, and they would arrest and tie him up outside.
After waiting all morning, at noon, I finally saw a few people wearing yamen clothes and hundreds of people wearing army clothes rushing in.
When the bandits saw the official officers, they immediately resisted and a fight broke out between the two sides.
"Are they from the army?" He Yunxi asked.
"Yes, there is a local army in Junshan County. It seems that the county magistrate is not stupid. Instead of rushing over stupidly, he sought help from the army." Lu Yan smiled.
"Do you still want us to help?"
"No need." Lu Yan originally only planned to help secretly, but now that there are enough people, they don't need to take action.
The battle went on for a while, and Song Jiang suddenly said: "Master, the bandit leader has escaped."
"Go and capture him, be careful not to let him commit suicide. Immediately remove his jaw after capture." Lu Yan ordered.
"Yes, Master."
Song Jiang and Song He took Liang Chaofeng and the others there. Two quarters of an hour later, Song He called back: "Master, the person has been captured. Do you want to hand it over to the people below?"
"Take it back and judge it yourself." Lu Yan said.
"Yes." Song He responded, and then said: "Master, your prediction was too accurate. Fortunately, the elder brother listened to you and removed his jaw as soon as he caught him. We were really in his teeth.
Poison was found. Looking at his appearance, we estimate that if it were a little later, he would have taken the poison and committed suicide."
Everyone was surprised when they saw the poison in his mouth. He, a bandit leader, actually imitated the dead soldiers and hid poison in his teeth?
And how did the master guess that he would hide poison?
It’s so amazing!
Lu Yan did not explain to everyone, but He Yunxi knew why.
There is someone behind these people. Once they are caught, the person behind them will definitely be implicated. If the person behind them is really a prince, can he let others know that he has made people become bandits?
If this is known to others, it will be a good handle, just waiting for the emperor to deal with him.
Therefore, these people can fight to death or be poisoned, but they can never be caught.
Once caught, the only way to save the person behind it is to commit suicide.
The dead are the best able to keep secrets.
"Ms. sir, shall we go back now?" He Yunxi asked.
She only ate two steamed buns this morning. It was already afternoon and she was already hungry.
"Song He, you take the people back directly. Chaofeng, you take some people to stay here. After the people below leave, you take the people down to see if you can find any clues, and by the way, guard the people in the valley.
Food. If you see the garrison coming to get food, just ignore it." Lu Yan ordered.
"Yes, Master."
Everyone went to do their own business according to Lu Yan's instructions, leaving only Lu Yan and He Yunxi.
After the others left, I remembered, why didn't the master and his wife leave together?
"Let's go." Lu Yan took He Yunxi's hand and walked in the other direction.
"Aren't we going with everyone?" He Yunxi asked.
"Go after them later." Lu Yan pulled her away.
"Where are we going?"
"I saw some plum trees here on the way here. Some of them should be edible. Let's go take a look first and eat something before we leave." Lu Yan said.
"ha?"
"Aren't you hungry?" Lu Yan said, "We are fast anyway, so we can just go after them after eating."
"Then why don't you take them with you?" He Yunxi asked.
"They are not you. Besides, it doesn't matter if they are hungry." Lu Yan didn't feel sorry for those people at all, "There shouldn't be many ripe plums at this time."
He Yunxi understood. He was afraid that everyone would go and the mature ones would not be enough for her.
She pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek. As a result, he caught him and kissed him fiercely. After a while, he let her go.
Even after kissing many times, she would still be intoxicated by this wonderful feeling.
She poked his chest: "I have been kissed so hard by you that I have lost all my strength and cannot walk."
Lu Yan: "Should I carry you?"
"OK!"
Lu Yan turned around and squatted down slightly. He Yunxi climbed on his back, and Lu Yan carried her on his back and left.
He Yunxi put his arms around Lu Yan's neck and rested his head on his shoulder, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
In this era where the husband is the most important thing, a man's back is very precious. Only sons carry their mothers, and almost no husbands carry their wives. Even if there are a few, it is a special situation, such as a wife who is sick and cannot take care of herself.
Someone like Lu Yan, who carried her on his back whenever she couldn't walk, would be an exaggeration to say he was a dinosaur in this era.
She is so lucky to meet such a person in this era!
Lu Yan walked as fast as he carried her on his back, and soon he arrived at the plum tree.
The plum tree in this lesson is a few years old and grows tall. Because there has been little rain in the past two months, there are not many fruits on the tree. Moreover, the temperature in the mountains is lower than outside, so there are not many ripe ones.
Lu Yan looked at it and said: "There are some ripe ones on the top. You wait below and I will go up and pick them for you."
