Chapter 114 Blessed Land
The willows by the Qinquan spring move without wind, and countless catkins scatter from the willows, like snowflakes filling the air of the village.

"Boom"

There was a sound of thunder, and the originally cloudless sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds.

"Tick..."

"Tick..."

A drop of raindrops fell on the soil, splashing countless dust.

"tick"

Another drop, two drops, and countless drops of rain fell from the sky in an instant, converging into a light rain.

The crops in the fields are sucking the hard-earned rain and dew to their heart's content. In the fields, forests, and fields, all kinds of creatures can't help but cheer up, and welcome the arrival of the rain in the best state.

Xie Lao Liu came slowly from the entrance of the village with a team of people, touched the dew on his forehead, instead of being angry, his face was full of joy and satisfaction.

Recently, he led a caravan to travel around. Wherever he went, the water source was dry and the sky was full of yellow sand. Not to mention the rain, even where the Dragon King Water God lived, there was almost no water source.

Most of the places he has visited are in a state of decay. The difficulties faced by all living beings are not as simple as lack of water. The crops in the fields are half dead, not to mention the inedible plants. Many of their leaves are already withered and yellow. It is possible that the lights are exhausted and the vitality is completely lost.

As a result, the price of food and water has skyrocketed of late, while gadgets that are expensive in normal times are dropping in price at breakneck speed, or even becoming worthless.

He followed the orders of Master Shenshi, and bought some valuable things in the past at the lowest possible price without revealing his wealth.

And when he returned to the vicinity of Yiyishi Village, all this was another scene, as if it had become two worlds with other places.

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to hold this thick thigh tightly at the first time, and even raised my family to vote..."

Especially when he heard the current situation of An Yuanhe, the excitement and joy in his heart were even more difficult to conceal. Fortunately, he couldn't help strengthening his belief.

"After going back today, we have to set up family rules. It is best to tie our Crab Clan with the Lord, and no matter how bad it is, we must set the family rules to follow the Lord closely..."

As the caravan slowly entered, a stone village suddenly became lively.

The moment the villagers saw Xie Lao Liu, they were more cordial than seeing their own relatives.

Xie Lao Liu has always followed Wei Wu's instructions, and has never revealed that he has defected to a stone village. It is just that the strategy of buying high and selling low has not made much money for the villagers.

And the reasonable demands of the villagers are responsive, which is even more meticulous than the so-called five-star service on Blue Star.

Therefore, it is very popular among the villagers.

Seeing the arrival of the caravan, even the drizzle could not dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers.

Soon, a temporary market gathered at the entrance of the village.

……

At the same time, on a path full of scars and yellow sand in Anyuan County,

Two men in plain clothes rode two skinny horses forward slowly.

The leader wore a bamboo hat, and under the hat was a serious Chinese character face. He looked at the trees around the road that were about to wither and frowned.

The man behind him was dressed in black clothes and a bamboo hat, and kept his head down all the way without saying a word.

After a long time, a deep voice came from under the hat of the man in front:

"Yuan Bin, you see that the trees around here are all withered due to lack of water, and countless creatures may die because of it. Do you think I made a wrong decision before?"

"My lord, if you hadn't acted decisively to block the news and control the water source, I'm afraid that the entire Anyuan County would have already faced the situation of no water available." The man behind him comforted after hearing the words.

"Now that the God of Anyuan River is missing, his military adviser is unable to control the situation even though he is acting on behalf of the god of the river. At present, the Anyuan River has fallen into a leaderless situation... Now many gods of the Anyuan River are the generation of chickens and dogs, and no one can bear the burden. Da Ren has neither the power to gather water nor the ability to borrow water from the great river."

"So, the situation in Anyuan County is all caused by that evil dragon's many evil deeds. Mr. Geng not only has no fault, but has merit!"

Mr. Geng waved his hand when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "Yuan Bin, there are only two of us here. If there are no outsiders, you don't need to take care of my face."

"I am the county magistrate of Anyuan County. It is my duty to let the people live a good life. No matter who is right or wrong, as long as the people in our county are suffering, the county magistrate of my county cannot escape responsibility. "

Yuan Bin couldn't help being silent when he heard the words. As his lord's personal bodyguard, how could he not know his lord's conduct and character.

Of course, he very much agrees with and admires the conduct of his own adults.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have followed the adults through twists and turns to come to this small border county and live such a poor life.

Mr. Geng let out a long sigh, and the face with Chinese characters under the bamboo hat was full of sadness at this moment.

"The drought has worsened recently. According to reports from informants, many victims of the disaster in the county have fled to the south. Could it be that there is really a blessed land of spring, flowers, and rain, as the informant said, or is it said that some people are doing evil there and spreading falsehoods?" The news attracts people to go?"

He never speculates about everything in the world with the greatest malice, but judging from his years of experience, there must be demons in everything that is abnormal.

Now that the whole scene has fallen into an unprecedented drought, how can there be individual places that are exempt from the vulgarity.

The county seat of Anyuan County is adjacent to the Anyuan River, the largest water source in the county, and there are countless gentry living in it. Most of the population in the county gathers in the city, and it also supports the most powerful gods in the county.

The county with such abundant resources is now about to fall into a famine. He can't imagine that in the southernmost part of his county, which is also the southernmost part of the Dajing Dynasty, which is the closest to the edge of the wilderness, there will be a carefree and blessed land. .

"My lord's worry is not unreasonable." Yuan Bin's expression was shocked, as if he had found an entry point for a topic.

"The lower official also feels that there must be something wrong with this matter. If your lord guesses that it is true, this trip may not be that simple. If we only go there as two people, we will definitely be in a disadvantageous situation. Why don't you send a team to go together? It’s a bit more secure in terms of security.”

Master Geng tightened the reins when he heard the words, and the horse under him stopped. He turned his head and looked at the person behind him with a calm expression:
"Yuan Bin, how long have you been with me?"

Yuan Bin gave an accurate answer after not thinking about it: "Master Hui, it has been nearly twenty years since I followed you..."

"Then you don't know me yet?"

Master Geng's tone was very calm, but Yuan Bin was keenly aware of the other party's displeasure, and quickly said:

"Sir..."

Before Yuan Bin could speak, Master Geng turned his head and continued, "If you are afraid, just turn around and go back. I can go there even if I am alone..."

Yuan Bin was shocked all over, quickly got off his horse and half knelt on the ground, explaining in a low voice:

"Yuan Bin didn't mean that. I have followed Mr. Geng for many years. Don't you know me? Even if Mr. Geng asked me to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, even if Yuan Bin frowned, I would lose.

It's just that how can a person with a thousand gold body take risks in person, if something goes wrong, it will be a loss for the entire Dajing Dynasty. "

Mr. Geng didn't speak, but looked at the withered and yellow trees around him for a long time before sighing:

"I, a sinner who can't even protect the people of a county, will die as soon as I die. What does it have to do with the entire Dajing Dynasty?"

"However, I have a hunch that whether our Anyuan County is alive or dead is likely to be determined by the result of our trip. If this trip goes well, the crisis in Anyuan County can be alleviated for the time being. On the contrary... it will make the entire Anyuan County Trapped in despair."

Yuan Bin raised his head and said anxiously: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Please think again, sir. At least arrange a few more people to protect your safety..."

Master Geng was silent for a while, waved his hand, and said:
"Anyuan County is facing a catastrophe, and it is taboo for the county magistrate to go out hastily regardless of maintaining the affairs of the county. If he sends out guards again, it will definitely attract the attention of everyone in the city, which is not conducive to the overall situation."

"And my move to block the disaster stone and control the water source has already mobilized all the forces. No matter which side is deployed, the situation will fall into a greater passive."

"What's more, I am a dignified magistrate of Anyuan County, and I have the official air of the great scene. The ordinary seventh-rank evil gods are helpless to me. If my life is really in danger, a few more ninth-rank guards are just a few more It's just a wronged soul."

"Let's go, whether it's a blessing or a curse, let's go to the place where there is a lot of rumors and we will find out."

Yuan Bin lowered his head, he knew that his adults had made up his mind, and he couldn't persuade him.

The two headed southwest all the way with a heavy heart.

As time goes by, the surrounding scenery is constantly changing.

"Chirp, chirp~"

Suddenly, a clear and joyful bird call came to his ears, Mr. Geng couldn't help but startled when he heard the sound, as if waking up from a dream, he looked at the surrounding trees in surprise.

The surrounding trees turned out to be——the entirety emerged a glistening green.

He took a deep breath, the air was no longer dry and scorching, but with a moist breath, and a hint of earthy fragrance.

He was extremely familiar with and nostalgic for this smell, it was the smell of the air after the heavy rain.

"Could it be that the place in the legend is here?" Mr. Geng turned his head to look at his guard, but saw that the other party seemed to be in shock as well.

Seeing this, Master Geng leaned over and touched the latter's shoulder: "Yuan Bin, what do you think?"

"My lord?" Yuan Bin suddenly woke up like a dream, and looked at Mr. Geng who was in front of him with a blank expression.

Lord Geng looked at the surrounding environment, but he didn't find a single house, nor did he see any water source, he moved his nose slightly, sniffing the moist air, and said confidently: "I think we should be near our destination. "

Yuan Bin's expression was completely opposite to Mr. Geng's confident face. He looked at the surrounding environment, and his expression gradually became dignified.

"My lord, there must be something strange about this matter."

"Hehe, of course there is something strange. If it weren't for something strange, how could you and I appear here?"

Mr. Geng chuckled, and shook the rein lightly, and the horse under him moved accordingly.

"This tree-lined path has not yet reached the end, let's continue along the path to see which dragon pool and tiger den it leads to."

It may be that they have come to the blessed land where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and they have seen the fragrant grass that they have not seen for a long time. The horses under the two of them have become a lot lighter.

As it moved forward, it tore off a handful of weeds on the side of the road and chewed them in its mouth. The horse's face seemed much happier.

After an unknown amount of time, rows of unique wooden houses in the forest appeared in front of the two of them.

Under the control of the two, the horse's forward speed could not help but slow down a bit.

Walking to the wooden house, you can still smell the fragrance of fresh trees from the wooden house, obviously these houses are newly built.

And when the two looked over the wooden house, they couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of them.

Right in front of the rows of wooden houses, a wide and sparkling pool of water appeared in front of the two of them.

The water pool is not deep, and you can see the bottom at a glance. A group of swimming fish are not afraid of people when they see people, and they happily chase and swim in the water pool in broad daylight.

On the edge of the water pool, the carnivorous coyotes and the bison and deer that were their food lived in peace, drinking water leisurely.

A group of waterfowls descended from the sky and landed on a shoal, dipped their beaks in the water, and then washed their feathers.

A scene where all things live in harmony.

"There are great talents here. I don't know if this water park is under the jurisdiction of the water god or the dragon king..."

Mr. Geng and Yuan Bin looked at each other, and couldn't help but let out an admiration.

Along the way, the two of them have almost experienced half of Anyuan County and enjoyed the scenery of various places.

From the county seat to this place, they have witnessed too much desolation and the withering of countless creatures.

Only here, in this catastrophe year, there is such a peaceful and harmonious scene.

"It seems that the fact may be true as the rumors say. In the southwest of my Anyuan County, there really is this blessed place that is hard for ordinary people to find in a lifetime."

"God bless, all sentient beings in Anyuan County are saved!"

Master Geng took a deep breath, calmed down his excited heart, walked to a wooden house, and called softly:

"Is there anyone, I want to ask about defecting..."

"Who is it?"

A slightly hoarse female voice sounded from the room, and soon a woman in coarse clothes came out of the room. When she saw the two people in "gorgeous" clothes, she was stunned, and then her eyes drifted to the two who were following them. Immediately, the skinny horse couldn't help but let out an exclamation:
"Can't even rich people like you survive in the north?"

Seeing a trace of resistance in the woman's eyes, Mr. Geng couldn't understand what she was worried about, so he shook his head immediately and explained:

"Although the world is difficult, it has not yet reached that point. We two brothers heard that there is a way out in the south, so we came here first to check the situation, which is considered to be a way out."

The woman suddenly realized: "Let me just say, we poor people can't survive and can only run away, and you rich people should be fine. The vicious county magistrate blocked the water source and only gave us poor people a sip of water to hang. More water expenses must be paid for." It takes money to open the door, but the local tyrants and evil gentry in the city can use it at will..."

As she was talking, the woman noticed that the other person's face was becoming more and more ugly, and then she remembered that the two in front of her seemed to be the local tyrants and evil gentry she was talking about, so she stopped immediately.

Yuan Bin listened to the woman's words, the more he listened, the more unpleasant he became, until finally, his heart was full of turmoil, he held his breath and turned his gaze to his lord, only to see that lord Geng's complexion was extremely ugly.

Just when he thought he would be greeted with a thunderous anger, he heard Mr. Geng take a deep breath, forcefully calm down, and his voice became extremely calm.

"Yuan Bin, is there such a thing?"
