Chapter 173
"That's really a coincidence. I'm also alone. In this case, you can stay with me."

Chang Sheng looked at the mortal who seemed to be in poor health in front of him with some surprise.She could tell that this person probably held a high position and was very vigilant.Even the servant next to him felt that she was of unknown origin and wanted to drive her away, so why did he keep himself by his side?

Isn't he afraid that he is really a spy sent by others?

Changsheng has a pair of eyes that can vividly show her inner thoughts, so sometimes she will involuntarily close her eyes when she cannot let others see what is in her heart.At this moment, all the thoughts in her heart are displayed in those clear, pure, quiet and tolerant eyes.

Looking at such a pair of eyes, Wei Yunshu suddenly had the illusion that the girl in front of her seemed to have lived for many years before she had such quiet and tolerant eyes.

After a brief trance, Wei Yunshu asked again.

"Do you want to?"

Changsheng seems to have no other place to go now, and it seems good to follow this mortal.So she nodded.

Seeing such a result, Wei Yunshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.It's great, he can finally do a little bit of what he wanted to do but couldn't do back then.It's really great to have such a result...

After a little distraction, Wei Yunshu temporarily put aside his undue love for children, and continued to check the map of Qingwu Prefecture, frowning slightly.Although he was very calm in front of outsiders, only he knew what was in his heart.For today's Qingwu Prefecture, finding water sources is the only way before heavy rains come.

But looking up, the hot sun was shining directly on the earth, and there was no sign of rain at all.Under such circumstances, there is a high probability that riots will occur among the people in Qingwu who survived by chance.It's not that those people don't want to live a good life, but that God forces them to live.

Not only Wei Yunshu, but those who were on their way outside were also worried about this issue.The closer you get to Qingwu Prefecture, the closer you get to the people who are looking forward to it, the heavier your steps will be.But no matter how slow it is, the distance is still such a long distance, and it will not become longer. In the end, they still came to Qingwu Prefecture.

Behind the wide-open city gate, there are people standing quietly on both sides of the street, waiting for the good news.

However, when everyone saw the dejected looks of these people who came from afar, they knew it was not going well without opening their mouths.This is the first time I have been disappointed, and the people of Qingwu Prefecture no longer want to think about it.In the case of extreme water shortage, thinking for a while is a huge drain on physical strength.They also knew that these high-ranking officials who kept going out to find water were very hard, but they still couldn't help but find someone to vent their thirst on.

"Why did they come back empty-handed again? Did they seriously look for the water source?"

"This is the first time I have failed? Is it really that difficult to find water? If this continues, my wife and children will die of thirst!"

"Those high officials are not pretending, are they? Could it be that they just went out to find a place to rest and deliberately pretended not to find it to deceive us?"

"Don't say that, the adults did their best when they rescued us before, we all saw it..."

"But I'm really thirsty! If it's really good for us, why don't you let us leave Qingwu Prefecture! I think they just want to trap us here so that we can avoid the drought and food disaster in Qingwu Prefecture. Rotten in the border of Qingwu Prefecture, keep their black hats!"

"No way?"

"How do you know it won't?! I think it is! The world is as black as crows. Who doesn't know that Wei Yunshu is an eunuch, maybe he has a bad heart! It's just that he shows us the good side! Didn't you see that he is still sitting Is that a cart pulled by sixteen horses? How luxurious and lustful it is to ride in such a luxurious cart at any time!"

"..."

Various voices of discussion came into the carriage from outside.Although Changsheng can't use his spiritual power now, he is still a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the voices of the people outside are still transmitted to his ears verbatim.After all, these common people did not lower their voices when discussing.

Changsheng didn't know if Wei Yunshu heard these words, but the way she looked at the map of Qingwu Prefecture undoubtedly became more difficult.

At this moment, the fingers of Wei Qingshan, who was driving outside the car, were crackling while holding the rein. They obviously worked so hard to find water for the people of Qingwu Prefecture, but they would suffer such criticism just because they didn't find it?The adoptive father took such a carriage just because the carriage was given by His Majesty. As an imperial envoy, if he didn't take the carriage and horses given by His Majesty, was he waiting to be impeached by those royal officials?
If they knew this earlier, why did they work so hard to find water for Qingwu Prefecture?

At this moment, those Qingwu people who were talking a lot saw the wounded and bloody people in the team.The voice of discussion suddenly disappeared.

Those blood-stained clothes were not fake.In addition, the strong smell of blood, as well as the few unfortunate guards with painted faces all showed the hardships they went out to find water this time.

The depressed and resentful people of Qingwu Prefecture suddenly stopped discussing. They looked at those blood-stained people, after all, they couldn't speak ill of such people, so they could only leave silently.

"Mom, I'm thirsty..."

"Little treasure, let's persevere, and we will be able to drink water to our heart's content in two days. By the way, I heard that there is still some water in the ancient well in the west of the city. Shall we go and have a look?"

"it is good."

Changsheng heard a childish and hoarse voice asking his equally weak mother.That mother comforted her young child weakly, but how long could she hold on?

Wei Yunshu looked at the map quietly, and the map was just a little wrinkled from being caressed for a long time.He is not an irritable person, and he has always known how to control his emotions, but at this moment, he couldn't help frowning frequently.

After arriving at the mansion, Wei Qingshan was still a little annoyed, everyone knew what kind of temper he had, no one paid any attention to him, and everyone had to save their strength to listen to the adults.

So Wei Qingshan found Changsheng who seemed silent and would not reveal what he said, and kept rambling.

"Tell me, are the people in Qingwu state stupid? If the adoptive father really doesn't want to care about their lives, why did he come from the imperial capital to help them solve the impact of the drought in Qingwu state? It’s okay if it’s a flood or something, and normal life can be restored after the flood control, but this is a drought! A drought that has been rare in decades! Let alone people, even the crops in the field are dying of thirst! There is no food Without water, the next step is famine!"
