Your Majesty is so cute

Chapter 38 Yangcheng County ([-])
Fu Jiujun raised his head, the crying sound was getting closer, as if the person was getting closer as he walked.

After walking into Fu Jiujun's line of sight, he realized that the two people walking in front of him, one old and one young, the old man was about sixty years old, the child was about eight or nine years old, holding a dying earth dog in his arms, The cry was from the child.

When the two people walking in front saw Fu Jiujun, Xiao Hua, and the dozen or so horse-drawn convoys behind them, they were unavoidably surprised and even uneasy.

The two looked at their clothes, they were just poor commoners, but now they saw the luxurious clothes and the exquisite carriage, so they naturally knew that the status of the visitor was not low, and they felt timid in their hearts.The old man hastily covered the child's crying mouth, his legs were still trembling, and he stood there, not knowing what to do.

On the other hand, Xiaohua didn't dislike it, she ran to the child very curiously, looked down at the dying dog in the child's arms, and asked, "Is it sick?"

The old man replied tremblingly: "Well, this famine and drought, no, no food, no water, naturally, this dog can't hold on anymore."

When the child heard this, he couldn't help crying louder and louder, saying: "This, this dog has been with us for so long, now, now it is going to die." This child was originally innocent, but now he is even more sad. Can you control the status of the ancestors above?
The old man couldn't cover it, but he had an anxious expression on his face.

Xiaohua raised her head, looked at Fu Jiujun behind her, and said timidly, "Well, can that save it?" Xiaohua didn't understand what Fu Jiujun just said, and felt that Fu Jiujun was not happy to save Hua himself just now , I felt in my heart that maybe Fu Jiujun would not agree, and her small face couldn't help but pouted, squeezed into a ball of flesh, with a frustrated look on her face.

Fu Jiujun just thought it was funny, and told the guards behind him, "Go and get old man Fu to fetch some water, and there are three steamed buns."

"Yes."

Those words fell into Xiao Hua's ears, and Xiao Hua's face couldn't help being happy, the flesh on her whole face loosened, and she smiled brightly.

Fu Jiujun took Xiao Hua's grateful look into his eyes very much, and stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Hua to his side.

The middle-aged man in front also raised his head in disbelief, with a look of disbelief on his face, he looked at Fu Jiujun one more time, coupled with Fu Jiujun's original demeanor, it made the middle-aged man and the child even more confused. I froze for a moment, wondering if this is a fairy sent by the heavens to save them.

The child heard that the person in front of him wanted to give him some incomparably precious water and dry food, he stopped crying, looked up at Fu Jiujun in a daze, and said blankly: "My brother's birth is really beautiful."

Fu Jiujun smiled politely.The guards behind him also brought the things over, and after the middle-aged man was very grateful, he let the dog drink water carefully and eat some steamed buns soaked in water.

Sure enough, after a while, although the earth dog was weak, he was able to drink the water reluctantly.

The child was so happy that he spun around in situ, looking at Xiaohua was even more enjoyable, wishing he could twirl with that child.

Although Fu Jiujun was also happy to see Xiao Hua happy, he still had to do business.So he said, "Old man, are you still living here?"

The old man nodded, looked around helplessly at the already barren land, and said, "Yes, most of the villagers have left, and there are only a few households left, all of whom are reluctant to leave their hometown."

Fu Jiulang continued to ask: "The drought here is so severe and there is no water source. How do the remaining villagers survive?"

The old father-in-law sighed, and said: "A day or so away from Yangcheng County, there is a big mountain with plenty of water. My son just goes there every few days to pick some wild vegetables and prepare some food. The game has just passed its days. Didn’t I also hear that the aid materials from the King of Dongjiang are also on the way, our family is reluctant to leave, thinking, wait for the aid materials from the King of Dongjiang, and wait for another rain All right."

Fu Jiulang nodded, and sure enough, looking at these people now, he couldn't bear to recall the luxurious appearance of Xingping City.Feeling regretful in my heart, I reached out and pointed to a lush mountain not far in front. When I looked at the mountain, the deep green trees with luxuriant foliage were clearly visible. It did not suffer from the drought as in the flat land now, and the growth is very dense.Looking at the distance, he should be able to tell in less than half a day. Fu Jiujun asked, "Why didn't the old man go to that mountain to fetch water? Seeing that the mountain has plenty of water."

The old man looked back, and after seeing clearly which mountain Fu Jiujun was referring to, his pupils could not help shrinking, and said, "Young master, don't even think about going to that mountain. The name of that mountain is Gushan. There are mountain ghosts in it, so we are also called Gushan. Before the drought, we only dared to move around the foot of the Drum Mountain, and we didn’t dare to stay on the mountain for a long time. I heard that if the mountain ghost saw it, we would lose it. In the current drought, even if we fetch water, we only dare to take it secretly at the foot of the mountain, and those who can come back are destined to die. Before, there were courageous villagers who went up the mountain, but never came back. So we also I had no choice but to go to a mountain one day away to get water." After speaking, he shrank his shoulders in fear.

"Lost your life?" Fu Jiujun asked suspiciously.

The old man hesitated and said: "Actually, it's not that I lost my life, but that I'm crazy. I can't remember who I am, I'm crazy, and I will die within a year. It's almost like losing your life. I have invited many Taoist masters before, but unfortunately those people have never returned. I angered the Lord of the Mountain Ghost Mansion, and there are more people in Gushan Madness, and there are no villagers anymore Dare to go up the mountain."

"Oh, is that so? There really are mountain ghosts?" Fu Jiujun looked at the lush mountain thoughtfully.

The old man nodded, and continued: "A villager went up the mountain before, and saw a huge cave above, which looked like a mansion cave, and people came out from time to time, guessing that the mountain ghost lived in the mansion above. In the cave." Looking at Fu Jiujun's expression, the old man seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Young master, don't you want to go to that mountain to fetch water?"

Fu Jiujun smiled, and did not deny it: "To tell you the truth, the water in our car is less than a day, if we don't fetch some water, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to move."

When the old man heard that Fu Jiujun really wanted to go to the mountain to fetch water, he couldn't help being even more panicked.Fu Jiujun helped himself before, but he didn't want his benefactor to die for nothing, so he couldn't help but say again: "My lord, think twice, you don't know the terrifying place of this mountain. According to legend, this mansion is The mountain ghost has turned into a mountain ghost, and has eaten so many souls and gold and silver treasures of the people who climbed the mountain over the years. You don’t want to lose your life in vain. Besides, the sun is about to set now, and you have a fast horse. To fetch water from the mountains, which is a daily journey, and travel day and night, it should be barely enough."

"Thank you for your reminder, but we have a lot of carriages, and it takes too long to fill the carriages with water. Don't worry, if something happens, we won't blame the old man, but please lead the way, It's enough to send it to the foot of the mountain." Fu Jiujun smiled slightly: "As a reward, we can give my father-in-law a bag of rations. That bag is not much, but it should be enough for five or six people to eat for six or seven days. No problem."

This temptation is very great, especially in times of drought, rations and water are the most precious things, more attractive than gold and silver treasures.

The old father-in-law showed hesitation on his criss-cross face, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Master, think twice, this mountain is really dangerous. Besides, if you find water, how will you transport it down?"

Fu Jiujun's smile was even more cordial, adding a lot of goodwill to the simple and honest old man.How many people, under temptation, can still say what is really good for you?And a stranger?

Fu Jiujun was very moved, but he must go to this mountain!And he also knew that he would definitely come back!
So he said: "Since it is not easy to get water, then I will ask the Lord of the Mountain Ghost Mansion to borrow water!"
