The untimely fiance dressed as the heroine
Chapter 59 Distance
When I came to the breach of the river embankment again, everything here was the same as in the morning... Huge boulders were scattered, but the breach remained the same, and the stone that Wen Fei cut off a piece still stood in place.
Wen Fei glanced at the stagnant water trampled by the horse's hooves, and said to Chu Xi: "Don't get off the horse, let's go directly to the river embankment."
Chu Xi nodded, leaned back slightly, closed her eyes and leaned against Wen Fei's arms.
Wen Fei felt it, and looked down, but only saw Chu Xi's little side profile.She felt a little strange in her heart, but she didn't think much about it, she pulled the rein and rode the horse towards the river embankment.
The stone materials used in the river embankment here are obviously better than those in the previous inspection, so Wen Fei rode his horse up to the river embankment without worry, and then got off his horse and helped Chu Xi down as well.When the two of them stood still on the embankment, Wen Fei pointed to a boulder half submerged in the water and said to Chu Xi, "The broken stone I showed you was cut from that stone."
Hearing this, Chu Xi subconsciously followed what she was counting on, and saw several boulders scattered and protruding in the lingling water.The angle they were at was exactly the boulder that Wen Fei was pointing at. There was an abrupt smooth spot on the stone, which was exactly where Wen Fei cut off.
After a hasty glance, Chu Xi withdrew her gaze, and said to Wen Fei, "Try this piece of rock under your feet."
Wen Fei nodded, and drew out her sword without hesitation, but with the morning's attempt, she would not be as reckless as she was on the river embankment before.I didn't use too much force when I pulled out the sword, and stabbed a little into the bluestone under my feet, but as expected, I couldn't get in.Then she spent a lot of effort to pry the stone, but after working hard for a long time, she couldn't pry it out.
With only these two points, Wen Fei can be sure that the materials used for this embankment must be good materials, and it also conforms to the quality of the river embankment that the officials of the Ministry of Industry declared to the emperor.But in this way, it can prove more and more that there is something tricky in it - there is a gap in the river embankment that was built without reason, and the tofu dregs project I saw before is actually good, so this section of the river embankment must be faked!
Wen Fei didn't wait for Chu Xi to remind him, and took the initiative to say: "Ah Chu, wait here for a while, I'll go and see how long this section of the embankment is." Naturally, the embankment is very long, and it's hard to see the end at a glance. , but what Wen Fei was referring to was obviously a fake passage.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with her sword in her hand. When she was fifty steps away, she stabbed the river embankment again with her sword.If she couldn't get in, she would walk another fifty steps forward, and then continue to use this method to test the authenticity of the stone.
Fortunately, in the face of the flood and time constraints, the falsification of river embankments is still limited after all.When Wen Fei stabbed at the bluestone with his sword for the fourth time, he was no longer as solid and stagnant as before, and the sharp long sword easily broke through the obstacles and went straight into the stone.So she stopped and looked back, and then estimated the distance, which was about 200 meters.
There is no need to try again, Wen Fei turned back with her sword in hand, and said to Chu Xi, "The stones have been replaced within about two hundred steps." almost."
After hearing this, Chu Xi nodded, "I guess it's about the same."
Wen Fei was a little surprised, but he didn't suspect that Chu Xi was coaxing her with big words: "You can guess this too?!"
Chu Xi glanced at the height of the embankment under her feet, and quickly looked away: "Of course it is. You don't have to think too complicated, just count the stones consumed in the construction of the embankment." She said and raised her finger to the bluestone under her feet: "This kind of stone is the best bluestone, but generally speaking, it doesn't consume too much. First, this kind of stone is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. Second, this kind of stone is not easy to mine, and it takes time Most of them have to be ordered in advance, and it is impossible for ordinary shops to have a large amount of stock.”
Wen Fei's brain also turned quickly, and he immediately understood: "This time the heavy rain and flood came suddenly. You mean, these stone materials are temporarily embezzled, so the raw materials for repairing the embankment itself will not be too much. ?”
For the stone materials of the [-]-step river embankment, the transportation is about a whole boat, which is exactly the amount used to build a garden.
Chu Xi frowned slightly, and nodded: "That's right. It's easy to investigate next. Most of these stones are used to repair gardens. You can check to see which one of the rich households in Jiangzhou needs to repair recently. Gardens. Or let people go to various gardens to see if any gardens have been demolished. If there are none, then see if there are any merchants passing through Jiangzhou, and the goods they transport are stone."
All in all, it's an obvious clue, and it's easy to follow along.If Wen Fei really wanted to investigate, what Chu Xi said was to help her find the thread in the mess.
Wen Fei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Xi with burning eyes, and said sincerely, "Ah Chu, you are really amazing."
Chu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, accepting the compliment without any hesitation, feeling happy.
************************************************** **********************
Chu Xi easily gave the direction of the investigation, but now that everything is here, Wen Fei naturally wants to investigate the matter clearly.So after checking the reality of this river embankment, she turned her eyes back to the breach of the river embankment—this breach was really exploded by gunpowder, and it didn't look like a post-mortem. Could it be that after changing the stone here, Was it really blown up? !
Regardless of whether the river embankment was actually bombed or not, Wen Fei had no intention of letting it go.She can also see that there are a lot of tricks in building embankments in the south of the Yangtze River, and this flood has killed many people, and she doesn't want to let any of them go.
Thinking in this way, Wen Fei went to check the breach again.
In fact, Wen Fei had already inspected it when she came here in the morning. Judging from her little blasting experience, the embankment seemed to be fine.It's just that now Wen Fei is full of confidence in Chu Xi. After checking again and seeing no flaws, she naturally waved at Chu Xi and asked for help: "Ah Chu, come and see if there are any clues about the breach of the river embankment. ?”
Chu Xi seemed to hesitate for a moment when he heard the words, but after his eyes fell on Wen Fei's face, he seemed to find some kind of courage again.So she walked over, walked to Wen Fei's side, and knelt down to check the suspected breach.
The breaks of the breach are uneven, and the earth-colored water marks clearly indicate the past that was flooded here.
Wen Fei noticed that Chu Xi was coming, and subconsciously grabbed her sleeve and said to her: "A Chu, take a look first, if you don't see anything, I'll pry a stone for you to smell it again?"
As soon as the words fell, Wen Fei suddenly felt the sleeves that were held down by his hands tightened.Before she could realize what happened, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the figure beside her suddenly fell forward.She was startled, and grabbed it instinctively. Fortunately, the martial arts practitioner had quick eyesight and quick hands, and she was caught by her, and then pulled him back with all her strength.
Xu Shi was flustered and uncertain of his strength, Wen Fei's pull was a bit stronger, and Chu Xi fell directly on her body while being pulled up.Wen Fei herself was squatting and didn't know anything, so she fell backwards with her arms around Chu Xi.
With a sound of "dong", the back of the head hit the river embankment, and it hurt a little.
Wen Fei's eyes went dark for a moment, and his head was a little dazed, but he recovered quickly.She blinked with a layer of physiological tears, and only then did her heartbeat "plop" and "plop", frightening suddenly.
The moment he reacted, Wen Fei hugged the person in his arms tightly, lowered his head and asked, "Ah Chu, how are you, are you okay?"
Chu Xi leaned against her arms and seemed to relax, then shook her head and said, "I'm fine." After speaking, she tried to support herself from her arms, and said, "I'm sorry, I hurt you, are you okay?"
Seeing that she was really fine, Wen Fei sat up from the ground with a sigh of relief, shook his head and wanted to say that he was fine.As a result, his head shook, and he became dizzy again, and he quickly stretched out his hands to support the ground beside him.
As soon as Chu Xi saw her reaction, she knew something was wrong, and hurriedly called her to stop her from moving, then leaned forward to check for her.Her face was pale and serious, and she supported Wen Fei's head with both hands to look at the back of her head. Seeing that there was no bleeding, Chu Xi was slightly relieved.Then I touched it carefully with my hand, and as expected, I touched a bulge.
Wen Fei dodged slightly as if suffering from pain, but it didn't look serious for the time being, and instead comforted her: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Chu Xi still felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I hurt you."
It was just a knock, Wen Fei naturally didn't take this little matter to heart, she subconsciously reached out to touch the bulge on the back of her head, but forgot that Chu Xi's hand hadn't moved away.So she pressed Chu Xi's hand with her touch, and the silky touch immediately diverted her thoughts, and she finally realized how ambiguous the distance between the two of them was at the moment...
At this time, Chu Xi supported her head with one hand, and touched the back of her head with the other, as if hugging her, bringing the distance between them infinitely closer.When Wen Fei raised his eyes, what he saw was her snow-white and slender neck, and his breath was full of the breath of the beauty in front of him.
This is a closer distance than the same ride, Wen Fei lowered his eyes, and then quietly blushed the roots of his ears.
Chu Xi caught a glimpse of her crimson ears, and finally realized something was wrong, so she let go of her hand and backed away a little.She was also a little uncomfortable, but she still thanked Wen Fei earnestly, and this kind of gratitude seemed to have become the norm for the two of them.
Wen Fei couldn't care about the bump on the back of her head anymore, she secretly rubbed her ears and accepted Chu Xi's thanks.After returning to her senses, she finally remembered the business, so she asked, "What happened before, why did you suddenly fall forward?"
Hearing this, Chu Xi subconsciously glanced down the river embankment, and seeing the long river, she quickly looked away again.Her face seemed to be even uglier, and she hesitated and told Wen Fei the truth: "I saw the water, and I was a little dizzy. When I was squatting there, I saw the river water, and suddenly felt dizzy, and fell forward. Fortunately, there is you exist……"
The last sentence "Fortunately, you are here", Chu Xi said it with sincerity, and her dependence on Wen Fei became more and more in her heart.
However, Wen Fei couldn't be happy because she immediately remembered Chu Xi's falling into the water twice.Especially during the flood, she failed to protect her, causing her to drown and even almost drowned. Perhaps since then, Chu Xi has developed a fear of water in her heart.
The author has something to say: Wen Fei (annoyed): It’s all my fault, I failed to protect people well back then
Chu Xi (dependent): It’s okay, I don’t mind if you spend your whole life with you
