[Comprehensive] Parents are not easy to do

Zhuer was still a child after all, she slept very soundly this time, when she woke up and the sun was setting, Yaoxi asked Xiao Er for two bowls of porridge, a plate of side dishes and four steamed buns, and after eating with Zhuer, she planned to Take the spider to the river outside the city for a walk.

"Mother, the smell here is so strange." Zhu'er has been practicing medicine with Yaoxi since she was a child, and she knows all kinds of smells by heart. As soon as they approached the river, Zhu'er smelled something from the river. It tastes different from other river water.

"You can already smell it. The smell in this river water should be the residual smell after the poison and antidote that those people put in back then were fused. It's just that they didn't expect that after the antidote was detoxified, another poison would be left in the water. This kind of poison will slowly erode people's bodies, and consume people's lives little by little, so the longer people live in this town, the less longevity they will live." Yaoxi looked at the clear river and sighed , now the water of the river has deteriorated long ago. Fortunately, the river only surrounds this town and will not flow through other areas, otherwise things would get out of hand.

"Mother/dear, don't you know how to detoxify? Can this river still be used?" Zhu'er took Yaoxi's hand and asked.

Yaoxi touched Spider's head and shook her head, "It's been too long, this poison has accumulated too deep, unless this river is filled and a new river is dug from the ground, otherwise the poison here will It's still not easy for people, well, let's go, it's late, you should go back to sleep."

Yaoxi was about to take Zhu'er back to the inn, when a man came out from behind a tree and bowed to her, causing her to stop suddenly.

"Madam, please forgive me. Xia Mengxin is the magistrate of Xingning County. I just overheard the conversation between Madam and Miss. I wonder if I can talk to Madam in detail."

This Meng Xin was transferred to Xingning County the year before last. He hoped to improve the status of the Han people through his own efforts. After all, in a court ruled by the Mongols like the Yuan Dynasty, many Han people still could not get the life they deserved. Guaranteed, but when he lived here for three months, he was at a loss by the negative attitude of the people here. He originally wanted to come here to show his strengths and do practical things for the people here, but no one paid attention to him. The officials in the county are lazy and unwilling to go out. It is good for the county magistrate to be promoted once a month in a serious manner. In the past few years, he has not even encountered a case/case. This is not to use dinner today to relax. Hearing Yaoxi's words by accident, I suddenly felt enlightened. The reason why people live negatively is not because they think that the whole county is covered by a curse, and they will not die for a hundred years. Re-excavation, everything here is expected to be reborn.

"My lord, the magistrate, is very polite. I don't know what is your lord looking for?" Yaoxi was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of this man, but she was not so scared when she saw the righteousness in this man's brow, and heard that he was the magistrate. My lord, I felt relieved, he must have heard what they said about the strangeness of the river just now.

"Mrs. Cai just said that the people in this place can't live for a hundred years because the river water is poisonous, and people's lifespan will be wasted if they drink it all year round. I don't know if we dig a new water source, there is a way to suppress the toxicity of the water. There is only one water source in Ningxian County, if it is directly filled up, everyone will be exhausted and die.” Meng Xin has actually been thinking about new water sources since he heard about the poisoning case. After all, there is only one water source in a county. It is more dangerous, so he has surveyed some terrain by himself since a year ago, and he has a general idea of ​​where to dig a new water source, but all this still needs a definite time, and now the time has come, he can finally go big Let's do it.

"It's not difficult. If you are determined to accomplish this, I will do my best to help you. This poison has been accumulated over the years. It has not been accumulated for more than ten years. It will not be able to see the harm to your body even if you feel the pulse. With medical skills, it should not have been more than five years since you came here, but if it goes on for a long time, it will be harmful to your body, and I hope you can find a new water source as soon as possible to save the people." Yaoxi said to An official like Meng Xin who works for the common people has a deep affection and admiration in his heart.

"Thank you Madam, I will try my best to find the water source as soon as possible. It's getting late now, why don't I take Madam and Miss back, I don't know where Madam lives now?" Meng Xin looked up to see that the sky was getting dark, and the night was already a little chilly. The mother and daughter in front of him were dressed in thin clothes, and he felt that he was a bit sloppy, and he felt very sorry for letting the weak woman talk to him for so long in the cold wind.

"Don't bother, we will stay at the inn in the city, and we will be there in a few steps. If you have something to do, you can go and get busy." After all, it is a strange man, so it is not good to get too close, Yaoxi finally declined Meng Xin's request , but Meng Xin begged again and again, she still told her name and which inn she was staying in, so that he could come to her when he had something to do.

When Yaoxi and Zhu'er returned to the inn safely, Meng Xin, who was not far from them, left in peace.

"Mother/Dear, is the county magistrate here a good person? He seems to be different from those villains." Zhu'er has seen many Mongolian soldiers who bully the people along the way, and officials who care about their own enjoyment regardless of whether the people live or die, like Meng Meng. This seems to be the first time I have seen an official like Xin.

"He should be a good man, at least he wants to be an official who is good to the people. Well, no matter whether he is a good man or not, our spiders should sleep, otherwise we won't grow taller."

Yaoxi pinched the quilt for Zhu'er, blew out the candles on the table, lay down and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, it seemed that tomorrow would be a sunny day.
