Chapter 472 View
In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Rong'an and Gu Qingya set off early to check the situation in the field, but they didn't inform the government office, so when Chen County magistrate and others came over in person and didn't see anyone, they felt very sad. It was a panic.

Compared with Sanhua County, Xiakeng County has a flatter terrain. Of course, it is also a terraced field, but the slope is much smaller, and there are many small streams passing through, and then converging into rivers.

Gu Qingya stood at the edge of the field and looked at it. It happened to be the time of planting rice seedlings, and the people in the field were busy. Even with the accidents of last year, everyone felt a little lucky.

Gu Qingya squatted down and lowered her head, picked up a handful of soil and took a closer look, and even put it under her nose to smell it. She actually didn't know the truth, and her experience was not that rich, so she could only look for more evidence to support it , and then look for the corresponding information in Zangshuge.

Now the only thing they can rely on is the Library Pavilion. If they wait for various experiments and research, they don't know how long they will have to wait. Time can't stand the wait.

Jiang Rongan walked back and forth along the field ridge twice, and shook his head at Gu Qingya, expressing that he didn't see anything wrong.

Gu Qingya didn't speak, she didn't see anything obviously wrong from the soil, now she just looked at the water source, "Let's walk along the river for a while."

Naturally, Jiang Rong'an didn't have any objections. It could be seen that the creek had been repaired at ordinary times, and it was so clear that the silt and some small sand snails in it were clearly visible.

There are a total of five or six small streams, all of which have their sources on the mountain. After walking for a quarter of an hour, they reached the foot of the mountain. After a while, Qiao Wener and Kang Wuqi also arrived one after another.

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Rongan asked, actually he didn't hold out any hope, it seemed that he would stay here for two or three months.

"I found a rotting corpse in a hidden water grass in a creek. Judging from the skeleton, it is likely to be a poultry or a bird." Kang Wuqi said, unable to discern the original appearance.

Jiang Rongan looked at Gu Qingya beside him, and said, "It's really hard to tell. Let's walk up the mountain along the stream and see what changes there are on the mountain."

There are always fewer traces of activity on the mountain than in the ground, and there are more traces of some that can be preserved, and there may be some unexpected gains.

The mountain road is not so easy to walk, there is no way to walk along the bank of the stream, but Qiao Wener and Kang Wuqi are very skilled, so they went in two directions and followed the direction of the stream.

Jiang Rong'an and Gu Qingya continued to go up the creek in front of them. Gu Qingya felt a little out of breath because of lack of exercise.

"My lady, sit down and rest." Jiang Rongan found a relatively flat place, and helped Gu Qingya to sit down.

Gu Qingya sat down and took a few breaths, shook her head and said, "My body is still too weak."

While they were talking, suddenly a few white birds flew over their heads and landed in the grass two or three hundred meters ahead, looking for food, drinking water, and eating aquatic plants in the stream.

"This bird?" Gu Qingya narrowed her eyes slightly, "Why does it feel something wrong?"

"Miss, have you seen it?" Jiang Rongan was also surprised.

"Accidentally turned over in the Library Pavilion. According to their living location and habits, they would not go so far north. Generally, they are in the south where the temperature is higher, and it is farther south than Xiangyang Mansion."

It was purely an accidental reading of the book, and Gu Qingya's memory naturally wrote it down, but she was not so sure, after all, she didn't read it closely.

"Except for winter, the weather and temperature here are still acceptable, and for the birds, the food is abundant, and it is possible to live in the north properly." The instinct of birds is also strong, and finding a better habitat is also possible. It's normal.

Gu Qingya nodded, and then went up, the birds sensed the movement and flew away, the aquatic plants in the creek were obviously not as abundant as those in the fields below the mountain, most of them were also lush green, and they didn't look bad.

In the end, I encountered a huge thorn bush blocking the road, and I couldn't go any further. The creek flowed out from under the thorn bush, and I don't know if it reached the source.

It was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. The two walked down with each other, their clothes and skirts were drawn by branches and thorns. At the foot of the mountain, Qiao Wener and Kang Wuqi were already waiting at the place where they met before.

"My lord, madam, I have checked everything, and there is nothing unusual on the mountain."

"It's getting late, my lord and madam go back to rest first, and we can go and see other villages."

Jiang Rong'an looked up at the sun, probably it was almost noon, and it took a lot of time. Many people in the field stared at them curiously, thinking that they were rich people who came for an outing.

"It's okay, it's almost these points of attention. If there are some strange things that the people talk about, they should also be recorded, and come back and tell us in detail."

Jiang Rong'an agreed with the two of them without much hesitation, he felt sorry for Gu Qingya, after walking so many roads, especially on mountain roads, he didn't know if there were any blisters under his feet.

In fact, Gu Qingya hasn't been up and down the mountain for more than ten years, how can it compare with when she was a child.

"Yes, my lord."

"You go back to the city with us to have something to eat before leaving. This matter cannot be resolved in two or three days. Your body is important." Gu Qingya hurriedly called the two of them to stop. They are not the harsh masters, and their health is the most important thing.

Qiao Wener and Kang Wuqi were a little surprised, but they still complied. For them, eating and so on was actually a matter of easy ending, but there was no need to ignore the master's wishes.

Back at the inn, Jiang Rong'an discovered that the people in the yamen had been waiting, "Magistrate Chen, I forgot to tell you, we probably will stay here for a while, and you are busy with business."

County magistrate Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, the more he is not needed, the more nervous he is, if he is accused of not cooperating with the imperial envoy, he will cry to death.

"My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable. You can send it out if you have something to do. Compared with this, the official duties of the yamen are trivial matters, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"Well, you send me a few yamen servants who are familiar with the county and all the villages. Sometimes I need to deal with some things, or they are more familiar."

"This is a must, and my subordinates will definitely choose carefully." County magistrate Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "My lord, my subordinates have already arranged meals. You have been out all morning, please enjoy."

Hearing this, Jiang Rong'an just nodded, not so happy in his heart, "Magistrate Chen, I hope it's just this time."

County magistrate Chen trembled in his heart, secretly thinking that this lord from the capital is really difficult to deal with, he is simply not allowed to get in, but he didn't dare to really provoke him, "Your official understands."

After lunch, Jiang Rongan urged Gu Qingya to take a lunch break, but he sat at the table and read a book. In the library, Gu Qingya had already asked Qingsha to list the books on crop control separately.
