Xiao Xiao secretly made up her mind in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just asked the two of them to get up and quickly take them to the mountain to help.The apprehensive county magistrate and master naturally dared not respond, and asked the officials to quickly organize people to go up the mountain with tools.

"Sir, would you like some water?" The fat man obsequiously held a water bag in both hands and followed Xiao Xiao, "This is filled with the best Biluochun, drink a mouthful of sweetness to quench your thirst..."

Although the fat man wiped the spout with a handkerchief, Xiao Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable, so she waved her hand and refused.But the fat man was not discouraged at all, on the contrary, he became more and more courageous, and came to ask Xiao Xiao what he needed from time to time.Xiao Xiao was so annoyed at the end, seeing that the sky was about to darken, she asked him to urge everyone to go faster.

"My lord said, hurry up!" Fatty ran to the front to lead the team, "We'll go down the mountain sooner as soon as we finish!"

Everyone's pace was much faster, but a group of three or forty people walked slowly, and the sky was dark and gradually they could not see the road under their feet, so it was already night after they reached the top of the mountain.But fortunately, Han Yi and the others have almost completed half of it. After adding these three or 40 people, it is estimated that they can finish it in an hour.

"Fortunately, you followed, otherwise, if you rely on Liu Yi, I'm afraid this will have to be handed over to the county magistrate." Han Yi smiled and helped Xiao Xiao massage her sore calf, the expression on his face was divided by the light of the fire Gentle outside.

Although Xiao Xiao felt that Han Yi rubbing her legs was a little strange, but because it felt so comfortable, she didn't refuse.However, this scene made the hard-working people around him dumbfounded, thinking that Master Xiao seemed to have a difficult relationship with Zhuangzhu Han.

The county magistrate originally wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Mr. Yushi, but he didn't expect that Zhuangzhu Han was always by Xiao Xiao's side, and his behavior was so intimate that he couldn't get in at all.So he could only chop down trees with an ax to calm down, but it was a pity that he was driven off by Liu Yi after a while and let the experienced ones go up.

"Don't take me seriously at all," the county magistrate poked angrily at the struggling locusts that were attracted by the torch, but their wings were burned and fell to the ground. It's too much to dare to shout at me..."

Aggrieved, the county magistrate stabbed the locusts to death one by one with a branch, and after a while, a branch was strung together.Putting these locusts on the fire to roast again, the county magistrate somehow felt a little greedy.

"It smells too good," said the county magistrate, whose saliva was drooling, and he, who was already fat and hungry, actually wanted to eat this scorched and crunchy locust skewer at the moment when he hadn't eaten dinner, " I don't know if locusts can eat..."

"Of course I can eat it!"

Xiao Xiao suddenly appeared behind the magistrate, and almost didn't scare him with a loud voice.But after hearing that locusts can be eaten, he forgot about Xiao Xiao's threat to him before, and began to ask how locusts eat.

"Make it into skewers? Can it still be used as a dish? Stewing soup should not work, it must not look good..." The county magistrate suddenly became excited when he talked about eating, and discussed with Xiao Xiao how to eat locusts.The two of them discussed frying, stewing and frying for a while, and finally Xiao Xiao had to admit that this person is not a good official, but he is definitely a foodie, the kind who can eat and know how to eat.

"It would be nice to make these locusts into our Shangrao County's special food," the county magistrate began to imagine, "by then, many people will come to our Shangrao County to taste the locust skewers, and then there will be more inns and restaurants. With a few more, we in Shangrao County will never count down taxes in Youcheng again..."

The master also came over, and the three of them squatted on the ground and whispered, discussing how to eat the locust and make it bigger and stronger.It's a pity that Han Yi can't let someone take his business away, so he unceremoniously lifted Xiao Xiao up and asked him to see if the fire protection belt symbol did not meet the standards.As soon as Xiao Xiao heard that it was business, Dang even followed Han Yi to see the completed fire barrier.

"This should be enough," Xiao Xiao walked around the fire barrier, "Should I light the fire now?"

Han Yi responded, and then asked everyone to throw the torches in their hands into the woods enclosed by the fire barrier. It didn't take long for a raging fire to ignite, lighting up the place like daytime.Countless locusts were roasted by the smoke and turned into a little ashes, Xiao Xiao watched the locust swarm being swallowed by the flames bit by bit, and finally felt more at ease.

"It looks like it will burn for half an hour, let the villagers go down the mountain first," Han Yi said with satisfaction seeing that the fire barrier had perfectly completed the task of isolating the fire, "Everyone will give a penny."

Liu nodded, then found the village chief from the crowd and told him that he could take the villagers down the mountain first.Holding the money bag given by Liu Yi, the village head was overjoyed, and casually told the villagers to leave first. In the end, only Han Yi, Xiao Xiao and Liu Yi were left on the hill.Although the county magistrate also wanted to stay and please Xiao Xiao, but he was still worried about his own life after feeling the coldness in Master Han's eyes, so he could only reluctantly follow the village head and others down the mountain.

"It's finally clean," Xiao Xiao let out a long breath, "This county magistrate is really the most eloquent person I've ever met."

"I don't think you were having a good time chatting?" Han Yi's words contained a hint of sourness for some reason, "Isn't everyone planning to open some factories and make the locust business bigger and stronger?"

Xiao Xiao stared at Han for a while, then suddenly realized, and said in a helpless tone: "I am not doing this for you? Didn't you say that you want to sell locusts? It is always necessary to have a good relationship with the county magistrate here." of……"

Han Yi didn't wait for Xiao Xiao to finish, and asked in surprise: "Don't you want to wait until you go to Wangcheng, and report to the higher authorities what the county magistrate has done, and demand that he be dismissed?"

Xiao Xiao glanced at Han Yi embarrassedly, he didn't expect Han Yi to know what he was thinking, but——

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish," Xiao Xiao said helplessly, "I have read their tax collection books, and it is true that they have not overcharged or collected randomly, which shows that this person at least has some principles, and he has not made any mistakes in his official duties. It is just greed. Even if I report to my superiors and want to dismiss him, I am afraid that the superiors will not agree, after all, there are very few officials with heads like this these days. I was just angry at first, but after thinking about it, I think he I didn't make any big mistakes..."

"That's the reason," Han Yi smiled and patted Xiao Xiao's head, "Nine out of ten officials in this world are corrupt, and the remaining one is even more greedy. Although the county magistrate is also greedy, he is still greedy. He has some conscience, and he didn't treat his people harshly, so he can already be regarded as a good official."

Xiao Xiao nodded. He is not a naive person. He naturally knows that it is impossible for all officials to be honest and upright people. Even such a court is not as good as a court that allows officials to have some gray income.After all, people have their own selfish desires. How many people seek fame with the desire to serve the people?Therefore, Qingshui Yamen is not realistic at all, it can only be an example to convince the people that the country still has a good side.

The three of them then quietly watched the fire burn smaller and smaller, leaving only a thick embers in the end.The original sound of the flapping wings of the locust swarm could hardly be heard. Xiao Xiao knew that this was a characteristic of their success, so she smiled.Han Yi was much calmer, and only smiled a little after Liu Yi came back to report that he hadn't found anything that slipped through the net.

"Then let's go down the mountain."

Han Yi asked Liu Yi to pick up Xiao Xiao's back, and then the two used lightness kung fu to quickly plunder the Han's farm at the foot of the mountain.After arriving at the farm, Xiao Xiao, who was sleepy and hungry, ate a vegetable bun and went straight to bed, thinking that she would have to sleep all day before getting up again.It's a pity that the sky didn't come true, and the next morning, when it was daylight, someone asked him to get up and freshen up.

"Last night, someone said that Mr. Han suddenly became seriously ill, and asked the young master to hurry back to see the master for the last time." Liu took the sleepy Xiao Xiao out, "When the young master was in a hurry, he took a step ahead and told me to wait for the dawn Come and call Mr.

"How did this happen?" Xiao Xiao turned pale with shock, and all of a sudden dozed off and ran away, "When did this happen? How could you call me after dawn?"

Xiao Xiao was very anxious, he thought that Han Yi must be feeling very uncomfortable now, and must need the help of his friends.Although he couldn't save Master Han after he went there, he could at least help Han Yi with some business affairs, so that he and his father could have a final period of peace.So without Liu Yi's urging, he hurried into the carriage by himself, telling Liu Yi to hurry up as much as possible, and don't care about him.

As soon as Liu saw this, he raised his whip and set off, because Tsingyi Villa was at most a day and a night away from the farm, so they simply drove all night, and finally arrived at Tsingyi Villa at noon the next day.

Xiao Xiao didn't know whether she got used to the carriage or forgot the numbness of her legs. When she arrived at Tsing Yi Villa, she jumped off the carriage and asked Liu Yiyi to find Han Yi by herself.But before the two entered Master Han's yard, they were stopped by two guards, saying that it was Han who gave the order to die, and no one was allowed to enter the hospital.Although Xiao Xiao was very worried, she thought that if it was her, she wouldn't want to see anyone, so she could only go back to Han Yi's yard resentfully and wait for him to recover to find herself.

"How are your parents?" Xiao Xiao stared blankly at the sky. It was the first time since time travel that he missed his parents so much, probably because the death of Han Yi's father also reminded him that his parents will eventually be able to return. One day will go one step ahead.

But he couldn't even wait for the day his parents left, because he had already died in that world.

Will time in that world stop after he leaves?

Or will he move on and leave his parents in the throes of loneliness?
