ten mile river moon

Due to the urgent situation, Liu Chengyue and others left Qingshui Town after breakfast the next day, and there seemed to be more refugees at the gate of the city.

The road from Qingshui Town to Ye Shui City is mostly a winding mountain road with little flat land, and in order to reach Ye Shui City as soon as possible, Liu Chengyue firmly chose to ride a horse. Jiang Lie knew that his injury was no longer a problem, so he compromised. A group of people rode on the road.

The more you walk in the direction of Ye Shuicheng, the more and more refugees you see, some with their families, some walking in groups, all of them look tired and embarrassed.

After walking fast for a day, the crowd arrived at a high hill at dusk. There was a dilapidated temple on the top of the hill, which seemed to be a place to spend the night.

The weather has not been very good these days. Although it hasn't rained, it is a bit gloomy and not suitable for night travel. Although it is important to hurry, everyone will not choose to let yourself suffer because of it. If it really rains in the middle of the night, it will be really fast There is no place to hide from the rain.

The sound of "da da" horseshoes sounded, and someone came out of the ruined temple. Seeing a group of tall and burly people, they were a little flustered, thinking they had encountered a bandit, and shouted "The bandit is here, everyone, hurry up, let's go!" Let's go!"

Crowd: ...

Seeing someone running away from the ruined temple dragging their bags, Liu Chengyue hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't run away, we are not bandits, we just happened to pass by and wanted to stay here overnight."

Helplessly, everyone ran fast, and soon disappeared, and the young men who heard his words stopped hesitantly, "Are you really not bandits?"

Liu Chengyue quickly signaled Jiang Lie to put herself down, but there was no way, the horse was too tall, her legs were a bit short, and he was really not good at riding a horse.

Jiang Lie turned over and got off the horse with his men, and the rest got off the horse as well. He led the horse and walked up to them. Duan Fei said, "Brother, you have misunderstood me. We are really not bandits. Besides, even if we are bandits, you don't have anything. It's worth grabbing!"

The young people looked at each other in blank dismay, and then were speechless, what a big oolong, it scared the big guys.

Liu Chengyue apologized politely, and then followed a few young people into the ruined temple. The environment in the temple is not very good, but there may be refugees gathered here, and it has been cleaned quite cleanly, and because those people left in a hurry, The straw on the ground was covered with blankets, cotton cloths and the like that were too late to clean up.

A few young people smiled sheepishly, "The environment here is not very good, look at your clothes... just let it go."

"Thank you everyone." Liu Chengyue said.

Several younger students waved their hands, signaling him that you are welcome.

Now that everyone is sure that nothing is wrong, everyone gets to their positions. The youngsters returned to their own territory and took out dry food to eat. Here, the dark guards boiled the water, the hunters hunted, and packed up the hay on the ground. A comfortable place to rest.

Liu Chengyue was about to worship these people, and gave Jiang Lie a meaningful look, what a young hero!There are so many subordinates who really don't have to worry about traveling, and what is necessary for home travel, it can't be better.

Jiang Lie is a little inexplicable, so why does this little idiot of his own always have some weird things in his mind?

The hidden guards performed their duties, Liu Chengyue sat on the hay, glanced at the young men who were eating dry food, hesitated for a while, and walked over.

A few young people were eating, and suddenly there was a person sitting next to them, and one of them seemed to have the right to speak and asked suspiciously: "Young Master, what's the matter?"

Liu Chengyue grinned, "You can see all of this, I do have something I want to ask you all."

"what's up?"

"What happened to Ye Shuicheng? Why did everyone flee?"

The young man glanced at Liu Chengyue, then skipped his gaze, looked at the busy people on the opposite side, and then hesitated: "Who do you want to go to Ye Shuicheng?"

Liu Chengyue nodded, and then saw a few young people looking at each other, their expressions were not very good.

Liu Chengyue didn't speak, waiting for the younger generation to answer her own question.

"Yeshui City is gone, and now it's completely flooded. People in the whole city were killed and injured. Most of them packed up their things and fled."

"But when I went to Ye Shui City the year before last, I didn't hear anyone saying that Ye Shui City was often flooded. Why was Ye Shui City flooded all of a sudden?" Liu Chengyue wondered.

The younger generation looked sad, "Who knows? The beautiful Lianfeng Mountain collapsed, and the Luohe River was blocked, and anyone would be flooded in Ye Shui City."

Liu Chengyue looked at the younger generation, smiled and said meaningfully: "But how do you know that Lianfeng Mountain has collapsed? Why can't it be other mountains outside Ye Shuicheng?"

Along the way, they also asked some people who had fled, but they didn't know anything about the flooding of Ye Shui City. They only knew that the flood suddenly came, and they only had time to pack up their valuables before escaping. Some who lived close to the river were washed away by the water before they even had time to go out.

The younger generation looked at the smile on Liu Chengyue's mouth, and was shocked. They would occasionally discuss this matter these days, but they forgot about others, but they didn't know that it was Lianfeng Mountain. Everyone was rumoring that the mountain god was angry. The river god is angry, but the rest is not clear.

"I guess, we saw it from a high place when we came out, and the place where the river is cut off is the boundary of Lianfeng Mountain."

"But Ye Shui City faces mountains on three sides and water on the other side. Since Ye Shui City is flooded, you can only go north out of the mountain. Lianfeng Mountain is to the south, and the mountain road is to the north. How did you see it?"

Several young people looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Chengyue meant, and the young people who spoke were a little annoyed, and would have stopped talking if they had known.

Liu Chengyue glanced at the expressions of several people, a little nervous and scared, she must have thought of something, so she said: "You don't have to worry, since we are going to Ye Shui City to handle business, now that Ye Shui City is flooded, we must understand why it is flooded , you know what to say, we are not bad people."

A few people lowered their heads, wondering what to think, Liu Chengyue was about to ask another question, when Jiang Lie’s voice came from above his head, “If you know the reason but don’t say it, then you are covering up the sinners who destroyed Ye Shuicheng, say it Maybe we can bring that person to justice and avenge the people of Ye Shui City."

Liu Chengyue pulled Jiang Lie to sit down, then looked at the young man sitting opposite, suddenly reached into Jiang Lie's arms, and after digging left and right, took out a money bag, took out a few gold leaves from it and handed it to the young man in front of them.

"We're not bad people. Even if you tell us, we can't do anything to Ye Shuicheng. If that's the case, why are you hiding it?"

Several young people looked at each other, and then accepted the gold leaf. The young man who spoke first continued, "Actually, we know that Lianfeng Mountain has collapsed because we were there that day."

"You were in Lianfeng Mountain that day?" Liu Chengyue was surprised, "What are you doing in Lianfeng Mountain in the middle of the night?"

They asked the refugees about the flooding of Ye Shui City on the way. Everyone said that there was a loud bang in the middle of the night. The weather has been bad these days. They thought it was finally thunder and it was going to rain, but the flood flooded soon after. In the city, everyone quickly packed up their things and fled for their lives.

But who would stay in the mountains in the middle of the night?Obviously, it takes more than half an hour to walk from Lianfeng Mountain to return to Ye Shuicheng, so why stay in the mountain for the night?

After hearing this, the young men lowered their heads and were a little embarrassed. The young man who spoke pointed to the young man next to him, smiled, and said, "Ah Liang's father picked up a gold mine when he was looking for medicinal materials in Lianfeng Mountain. It's really gold. A Liang told us..."

"So you want to go to Lianfeng Mountain to find gold mines?" Liu Chengyue asked in disbelief.

Seeing Liu Chengyue's surprised expression, the younger generation thought it was because they thought their behavior was funny and felt embarrassed.But only Jiang Lie knew that Liu Chengyue was only surprised by the gold mine. After they solved the mine case, the imperial army came to transport the gold mine out and continue mining. But now it seems that the imperial court has kept this matter secret It's still quite strict, even the people in Ye Shuicheng don't know that there is such a thing as a gold mine.

But it may also be because the places to go to the gold mine by land are relatively remote, there are almost no roads behind, and there is a long distance from Ye Shui City.

"Where did your father pick up the gold mine?" Liu Chengyue asked A Liang.

A Liang looked at Liu Chengyue's gentle smile, feeling a little embarrassed, held back for a long time before whispering: "It's at the end of Lianfeng Mountain, some distance away from Ye Shuicheng."

Liu Chengyue thought for a while, when they went down the mountain, it seemed that it was also at the end of a mountain. From this point of view, it should have accidentally leaked out during the mining and transportation of the gold mine?

"Then what did you find on the mountain that day? Or what did you see?"

"We were originally going to the end of Lianfeng Mountain, but Lianfeng Mountain was originally connected by mountains and it was very big. After we went up the mountain, we didn't know the way. We only knew to go in that general direction. We walked for most of the day and didn't leave. Arrived at the end of the mountain. So we had to spend the night in the mountains at night, and it happened that we found a hidden cave, which was very suitable for overnight, so we spent the night in the cave, and planned to go to the end of the mountain the next day."

"But in the middle of the night, we heard sparse voices. At first we thought it was some kind of beast, but we heard people talking behind us. Everyone was a little curious, thinking that it was Ah Liang's father who told the news. Others, they have also come to find gold mines."

"Unexpectedly, when we were hiding at the entrance of the cave, we saw a group of people carrying things. It was a full moon that night, and the moonlight was so bright that we could see clearly. They seemed to be people from the Jianghu. A man walking at the back talked to an old man next to him, saying that he was going to blow up the mountain to find the entrance. The distance was a bit far, and he couldn’t hear clearly. But we ordinary people dare to fight against the Jianghu people who hold knives and swords Ah, I dared to speak after watching them go far away. I thought we heard it wrong, but we heard a loud bang from behind. We went back at dawn the next day, and when we arrived at Yeshui City, the city was flooded ..."

The younger students were a little depressed, and Liu Chengyue didn't know what to say to comfort them. Jiang Lie on the side threw his money bag to the younger students who spoke, "Don't tell others about these things tonight, you are on the mountain. The people I met are not good people, after tonight I find a place to live well, and what happened before is rotten in my stomach, do you understand?"

The young people were worried and afraid when they heard the words, but at this time they also knew that Jiang Lie was a kind person, not a bad person, so they nodded and planned to leave early tomorrow morning, and then find a safe place to live a good life.

Jiang Lie stood up and pulled Liu Chengyue to leave. After walking a few steps, a young voice came from behind, "By the way, the man who spoke in that group seemed to have only one hand. He could see it clearly that night. The man's sleeves are empty."

Jiang Lie nodded, and then pulled Liu Chengyue back to the other side of the ruined temple.
