Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 501 Wiping Tears

The green mountains and green waters in the haze are covered with a layer of gray. Looking into the distance, it is impossible to tell whether the water surface is endless or not, and even the mountains and peaks in the distance cannot be seen.

"Master Zhuang, there is no way out~" the old man shrugged apologetically.

"Uncle Wang, haven't you walked this road? Why did you say there was no way to go without looking for it?" Ze Fenglin carefully observed the river, it was so deep and so fast that it was impossible to wade through it.

"I didn't pass by Anzhou when I came here. Now we want to cross Anzhou to take a shortcut. I can only make a rough idea, and I have never seen this river in my impression." Old man Wang looked confused. He thought They chose a short-cut path, but they would have to take a longer path to avoid the river.

"You came from Qiuchi to Qingzhou, but you didn't pass by Anzhou?" Ze Fenglin was very puzzled.

"At that time, we heard that Anzhou refused to accept refugees, so we didn't bother to come here, for fear of trouble." Old man Wang didn't dare to look directly into Ze Fenglin's eyes, as if he was a child who made mistakes at the moment.

"Then what should we do now?" Ze Fenglin knew that it was useless to blame the person in front of him, and the best way was to find a way out quickly.

"Let's walk along the river. We should meet fishermen. We'll ask about it later?" Old Uncle Wang asked, pointing to the path beside the river bank.

"That's the only way to go first." So Ze Fenglin led a group of people to continue walking along the river.

Although the road is narrow, it is wide enough for driving, but the car body often scrapes against the branches and leaves on the side of the road, which scares people in the car from time to time.

Humans are extremely sensitive to unknown sounds, especially intermittent noises.

The group of people walked for less than a stick of incense, but they were blocked by a loud rumbling noise.

A large piece of rock fell down along the rock wall with gravel, and happened to land in front of the convoy. If it went more than ten feet forward, who might be injured.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Zhuang asked nervously.

"Don't be impatient, ma'am, I'll go out and have a look." Yun Wan comforted her in a low voice and jumped out of the carriage.

"Master, don't be afraid, we can only go back to the previous fork in the road and walk along the main road." Ze Fenglin and Yun Wan whispered.

"Alright, Ma'am is impatient, but safety is the most important thing. I would rather go a little farther than get into danger." Yun Wan mistook someone deliberately blocking their way, and asked, pointing to the rubble in the distance, "What do you think?" Was that an accident?"

"Probably not. I saw the gravel fall to the ground with my own eyes, and I didn't find anything unusual." Ze Fenglin nodded firmly. The time when the gravel fell was a bit of a coincidence, but it would take ten people to drop such a large rock. It's hard to do.

"It's a good thing you stopped carefully, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Yun Wan was thankful, if she walked a few steps faster, maybe all the team members would be injured.

"Look at the sunken place, there is no other stone support underneath, it will fall sooner or later." Ze Fenglin was also very scared, and quickly looked up at the path they walked.

"Plus the rainwater flowing over the mountain will increase the possibility of it falling, hey~" Yun Wan looked at the wide water surface and sighed.

"It's like this around Anzhou. It is rich in jade. Naturally, some people like to dig it up and down. Look at this good rock wall. There are bald parts in the east and west. I don't know if those people have harvested it. Destroyed." Ze Fenglin felt a lot of emotion for this mountain forest.

"Isn't it~" Yun Wan looked at the vaguely earthy color on both sides of the river and felt distressed, "How did you get up to such a high place?"

"Tie a rope and hang it from the top down. Fortunately, there is a river below. Even if you fall unfortunately, you have a chance to survive." Ze Fenglin decided to use less jade in the future. He alone can't change anything, but at least he can. A comfort in my heart.

"It's just for survival, just for food." Uncle Wang couldn't help coming over to join in the fun.

"The top-grade jade is priceless, so it's natural that some people will go all out for it." Yun Wan shook her head helplessly. Different social classes naturally lead to different situations of running around for a living.

"I didn't come to Anzhou before because I was afraid of being arrested for jade mining. Although I was paid a lot of money, it was too dangerous. If I died, my Xiaowei would not be happy." Uncle Wang couldn't help but mention Xiaowei. Wipe away tears.

"Can you find jade after chiseling like this?" Yun Wan questioned very much.

"After digging out the periphery, we can identify whether there are ores. Whenever possible, we will continue to search for the mine mouth, and then we can find it when we dig deeper. Those things are all grown in pieces in the mountain rocks." Uncle Wang doesn't want to exchange his life for silver taels.

"No wonder there are traces of being chiseled everywhere." Yun Wan felt a little guilty for her love of jade, but she never thought that mining jade would be so difficult, not to mention destroying the green hills, it might even lead to the death of the craftsman.

"Uncle Wang, do you think it's safe for us to turn back?" Ze Fenglin asked sarcastically.

"Master Zhuang, it's not easy to go ahead, let alone it's not safe. The only way we can go is to go back to the fork in the road just now and bypass this place." Uncle Wang is still unwilling to admit that he took the wrong road.

"How is Ma'am? Didn't you scare me?" Ze Fenglin was no longer so indifferent, and he always smiled like a warm sun when facing Yunwan.

"I was a little shocked, but it's okay. I just hope there will be no troubles on the rest of the road." Yun Wan turned around and returned to the car after speaking.

"It's almost time for us to rest, let's continue on our way." With a wave of Ze Fenglin's hand, the team started the driving mode again.

This time Ze Fenglin no longer walked side by side with Old Uncle Wang, he let him walk in front, keeping a distance of ten feet away from himself
In addition to wanting him to lead the way and not half-heartedly want to chat, he also planned to observe the old man carefully, he always felt that there was something hidden about this person.

The escort team was still on their way to Qiuchi, but the couple had already planned to take the bride-to-be out of Jin Ge. The reason for this was that the time had to go back to a few days ago, when Ji Er was chatting with Shen Yixi, Inadvertently asked him a word.

"Brother En, is Da Zhou fun? I've heard anecdotes about Da Zhou, but I've never been there, hey~" Although Ji'er's skin is not fair, her eyes are lively, and her ability to act like a baby is just right. Shen Yixi couldn't help being intoxicated by it.

"Has Ji'er never been to Dazhou?" Shen Yichen has been looking forward to the opportunity to bring Ji'er back to the imperial capital after getting married.

"My father doesn't allow me to go out. I tried to sneak out of the camp before, but all failed." Ji'er said affectionately.

"Can someone accompany you?" Shen Yixi asked puzzled.

"I have been lonely since I was a child, and I have been looking forward to someone coming back to bring me some treasures and tell me some stories." It was Jier's kindness and innocence that moved Shen Yichen.

The iron blossoms are caused by kindness, and the whole heart is only waiting for the marriage to come.
