But where does this water come from? Where? The guide's eyes lit up.

Qiao Xiaoru smiled: "If my guess is correct, it should be related to the disappearing river in front of the mountain." ”

"Huh?" The guide was startled, and his eyes widened and exclaimed, "How is this possible! What does Mrs. Qiao mean、Is it the river that disappeared behind the mountain wall? This- this is not going to break down the mountain wall and rush out, will it? ”

Staring at the mountain wall, he suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart, for fear that he would be swept away by the water rushing out from behind the stone wall in the next second.

Qiao Xiaoru and the others couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, where can such a thing happen? If it had been so easy for the water to rush out, it would not have waited until now. ”

In any case, when they learned that there might be a water source behind the stone wall, everyone was very excited and talked about it. After so many days of hard work, I finally see hope.

After going back this day, Qiao Xiaoru had a detailed discussion with Dugu Yuzhang.

explained to him in detail about the underground dark river, and Dugu Yuzhang also had hope when he heard it, and said that he could give it a try.

Qiao Xiaoru sighed again: "It's just that what is said at the moment is just speculation, and no one knows what the situation is behind the stone wall." If the back is really close to the underground river cave, or even connected to it, then we are right. If my guess is wrong, or if I see an underground river, but the river flows deeper underground and I don't know where it leads, and the exit is not visible, then it is useless! Therefore, we should be cautious in this matter. ”

Besides, digging another hole from that cave is not so easy to do, and if it is not very good, it will cause death.

Qiao Xiaoru felt a little regretful in her heart, who called this in ancient times? In modern times, what kind of precision instruments are not available? After a little probing, you will know, unlike now, everything can only be guessed and gambled.

Dugu Yuzhang nodded slowly, groaned, and smiled at her in a half-loud voice: "Qiao Niangzi's words are reasonable, and this matter must be cautious." Besides, whether to do this thing or not, to gamble or not to gamble, is not something you and I can decide, you have to take care of your decision! So Mrs. Qiao doesn't have any burden in her heart, no matter what happens in the end, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Qiao Xiaoru smiled gratefully.

Back in the room, Qiao Xiaoru noticed that Lu Zhan seemed to be looking at him all the time, and couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Why do you keep looking at me like this?" ”

Lu Zhan sneered, crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked lazy and uninhibited, his eyes slipped up and down her body, and said with a smile: "Qiao Xiaoru, you know so much, who taught you these?" ”

Qiao Xiaoru didn't expect him to ask this, and choked.

Suddenly, I thought of Dugu Yuzhang.

Come to think of it, Dugu Yuzhang must have been suspicious in his heart, right? It's just that he never thinks deeply about his identity and background, and he never asks himself.

Lu Zhan, this guy, is not polite.

However, Qiao Xiaoru couldn't answer.

She said, "No one taught me, but that's what I think is?" How? What do you want to say? What else do you want to ask? ”

"Qiao Xiaoru!" Lu Zhan was a little amused, and said, "I'm just asking casually, why are you like a fried chicken?" ”

Qiao Xiaoru was so angry that she wanted to bite off a piece of his meat, kicked him in the calf, and said angrily: "What is a fried chicken?" Is there such a shabby person? Lu Zhan, you bastard! ”

Lu Zhan laughed and gently avoided her.

Two days later, Dugu Yuzhang replied to Qiao Xiaoru, saying that Gu County's order had decided to send stonemasons and craftsmen to chisel the mountain wall and gamble.

This result is actually the same as Qiao Xiaoru expected, after all, on the boundary of Yichun County, the county order is the boss, he only needs to move his mouth and does not need to do it, even if it is a useless work, he does not need to be responsible for anyone, and there is no loss.

On the contrary, once there is really an underground river behind the stone wall, it can really lead the river out, then this is his great political achievement.

This kind of good thing that only makes money and doesn't lose money, why don't you do it? Gotta do it!

Qiao Xiaoru nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, the next thing is not something I can help, and Lu Zhan and I should also go home." ”

Dugu Yuzhang smiled: "It's okay, you can't keep you here boring for this matter." I have my horses ready, and I will leave with you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

"Then tomorrow!" Qiao Xiaoru smiled, thought about it, and said a few words about the precautions and tricks for digging the stone wall.

For example, clean the stone wall, draw a square of appropriate size horizontally and vertically, and start along the edge of the square when chiseling, so as to prevent collapse to the greatest extent.

It was also suggested that it was best to open the armory and take some helmets for the craftsmen to wear, so as to prevent them from hitting their heads.

The people working in the cave should tie a rope around their waists to connect to the outside of the cave, in case something happens in the cave, shout, and people can be quickly rescued outside the cave, etc.

Dugu Yuzhang listened carefully, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "In the end, it is Qiao Niangzi, who is careful and skillful, and can think about everything." ”

Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "Dugu Gongzi said this, but I am embarrassed." I also have a sentence here, I see that there are many such topography in Yichun County, and there are only a lot of underground dark rivers, if the county commander sends people to search everywhere, he may be able to find a few places that can be used hard, but it will benefit one party! ”

"It makes sense, when I see him tomorrow, I will tell him well!" Dugu Yuzhang smiled and nodded.

It was already afternoon that day, and she was scheduled to go back tomorrow, so Qiao Xiaoru began to pack her things.

She came in a hurry, and naturally she didn't have any luggage when she returned.

It's just that if you come here, you have to bring some specialties back to your family.

Thinking like this, he suddenly dropped his luggage and didn't pack it first, and pulled Lu Zhan to go shopping to buy souvenirs.

Lu Zhan's face was disgusted, he thought she had a lot of things, Qiao Xiaoru pouted and didn't hear it, so he dragged him away.

Since the last time she went out alone and met the madwoman who almost had an accident, she was a little worried in her heart, for fear that if she was unlucky again, she would cause some trouble.

This is a foreign land, and he has to make trouble for Dugu Yuzhang, how embarrassed is it?

Lu Zhan suddenly smiled, approached her and whispered with a salivating face: "If you promise tonight - well, that, I will accompany you!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru's face turned red with an "ah", and he stepped on the surface of Lu Zhan's feet when he raised his foot, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Lu Zhan, you are a complete bastard!" ”
