That night when Yun Yun was sleeping in a daze, he heard the voice of a group of people. He suddenly heard someone coming back, so he woke up abruptly and looked in the direction of the crowd.

There were three floors inside and three floors outside the riverworks enclosure, and he couldn't squeeze in at all. He only heard someone shouting that he had come back alive.

There were more and more people, Yun Yun squeezed hard, and suddenly he pushed forward, as if he saw Cheng Mu's figure!

"Quick, come doctor, come doctor!"

The doctor rushed over, and after squeezing in, everyone felt a little more at ease.

Cheng Musheng built the river upstream. When he came here, all the people in a village were assigned to different teams. Cheng Musheng was strong and strong, so he was arranged upstream. After the upstream river channel was dug, bluestone bricks had to be pulled. People who have to use great strength.After the bluestone bricks were placed, they continued to dig down along the river, but the bluestone bricks fell directly on them, and Cheng Mu was the one who was hit by the bricks.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and knew how to swim, so he used the buoyancy of the water to retreat quickly, and his body also dived down, and finally circled directly under the bluestone bricks, which saved his life.But the person who was washed away with him was not so lucky. He was directly pressed down by the bluestone bricks and finally submerged in the river.

The river is very wide, and Cheng Mu wanted to swim back immediately, but there was a big rock falling down from above, so he swam to the opposite side first, thinking to wait for the river to calm down before swimming back, and finally rescued a person who was washed down by the river in the woods by the river. He felt the pulse of the man, and he was saved, so he stayed on the other side of the river for two days.After the man regained consciousness, he swam back with him on his back.

After the crowd dispersed, Yun Yun looked at the profile of the man who looked like Cheng Mu, and strode up to him, and hugged him when he saw his face clearly.

"Ah Yun, why are you here?" Cheng Mu never thought that he saw Yun Yun on the river, and the person he saved was fine, so he pulled Yun Yun to sit beside him.

Yun Yun saw that Cheng Mu's face was thinner than before. He had just walked for more than ten days, how did he become like this? If he had known about this situation earlier, he would have stopped Cheng Mu from coming.

Reaching out to take out the biscuits on her back, Yun Yun took out three at once for Cheng Mu to eat.

Seeing the meat pancakes, Cheng Mu didn't show any politeness, and he ate them in big gulps. He ate three of them. Cheng Mu leaned under the big tree and told Yun Yun what happened in the past few days.

"Ayun, in fact, after I came here, I really saw how the officials oppressed the people. At that time, they said that they were full, but except for the half bowl of rice in the porridge on the first day when I first came here, there was no less than half a bowl of steamed buns. One meal for two people, there is no oil star in the dishes. If it weren't for the biscuits you made for me, I really couldn't hold on."

Yun Yun's eyes widened when she heard this, it's impossible, when he came before, everyone he saw had half a bowl of porridge in their bowls.

Cheng Mu continued, "Look at the porridge and rice we drank just now. Because something happened, the government was afraid that someone would investigate, so they hurriedly served delicious and delicious food. I didn't expect that after so many years in this country, the officials are still so corrupt. .”

Yun Yun could hear the helplessness in Cheng Mu's heart. He didn't understand these major national affairs, and everything he knew was from the scriptures.He just needs to see that Cheng Mu is doing well.With Cheng Mu by his side, he felt at ease.

Yun Yun brought a lot of biscuits, and she only ate half of them now. Cheng Mu originally planned to let Yun Yun go home first, and then go back after she finished building the river, but Yun Yun refused and insisted on waiting here for him.

Cheng Mu used three sesame seed cakes to find a job for Yun Yun in charge of the rice, that is, to help the river workers make meals every day, and manage three meals a day.

Every time Yunyun serves rice to Cheng Mu, she always puts a spoonful of rice and a spoonful of rice soup. Others serve a spoonful of rice and a spoonful of water. There doesn’t seem to be much difference on the surface. When all the rice sinks, you can see the rice in Cheng Mu’s bowl. Half a spoonful of rice was added.

The food and drink were full, and the work on the river was quickly completed. Three days later, everyone went home, and it happened that the biscuits were also finished.

The two were walking home, and Cheng Mu had been thinking about building the river.The river channel took so much effort, and people died, but in fact it was not very useful. All the hollow bluestone bricks were used, and the channel was cut corners to save time.On the surface, the river course has been cured, but in fact, after three to five years, the river flooded and burst the embankment, washing away all the bluestone bricks, and it had to be repaired again, but the time still had to be like today.

This goes on and on, the people hurt their manpower, and the corrupt officials from top to bottom earn their waists and bodies thick.

When will this country be at peace!

Yun Yun heard Cheng Mu's sigh and pulled his hand to ask what's the matter.Cheng Mu turned around and said seriously, "Ayun, do you think it's good to build river channels now?"

Yun Yun nodded, then shook her head at random. It is good to build rivers to benefit the country and the people. Back in the day, Dayu controlled the floods in exchange for the peace of the country. Now it is the same as those.But he didn't want Cheng Mu to go there again in the future, it would be too dangerous to build a river.

Yun Yun pointed at Cheng Mu and shook her head.

Cheng Mu understood what he meant, Ah Yun didn't want him to be so dangerous.

"Actually, the world has never been peaceful. So many things can happen just by building a small river. If the country encounters a severe drought and disaster, the imperial court has a good idea and uses real money to rescue the farmers from the dire straits. , but those corrupt officials, they blinded the emperor's eyes, making the emperor think that these are right. They please the emperor, and when the emperor is happy, give them these rights, and they can do whatever they want."

Yun Yun has seen such things in the scripts, but the scripts say that the corrupt officials will be punished in the end, and then the world will be peaceful.He hadn't gone out in this town all this time, and he didn't know what it was like outside. He didn't know if what was said in the book was true or false.

Cheng Mu regretted that Yun Yun could not speak, otherwise the two of them could discuss this issue.After thinking about it, he was mocking himself again. Now he is an ordinary farmer, and he still thinks about the use of those important court affairs.

Back home after half a month, a sense of happiness welled up, recalling the worry in Yun Yun's eyes the first time he saw him, he was a bit reckless this time, and now he is a family man, so he can't be so willful up.

"I'm sorry, next time I do something big, I will definitely ask for your opinion, and I won't ignore your opinion. This time, I just want to go, without considering the danger."

As soon as Yun Yun heard the apology, her whole body softened immediately, and all the little anger before was gone.In fact, he was only worried about Cheng Mu, and nothing else.

After walking for five or six days, the goats and chickens ate all the grass in the pen. Yun Yun hurried to mow the grass and came back to feed the chickens. The chickens chirped to welcome their master back.

Walking on the road was very hard, and I went to bed early after eating that day.
