The heavens start from the Palace of Transferring Flowers

Although the girls were martial arts practitioners, they ran around for a long time, and after eating, they lay down on the grass and fell asleep one by one.

Near noon, Jiang Chen still hadn't found out the cause of the plague.

"That son's house is out of food, I'll go to the vegetable field to pick some."

Jiang Chen saw that other people's homes raised chickens or rabbits, but Axiu's family didn't raise anything, but her family obviously had a chicken coop.

"Why don't you raise some chickens?"

"Nursing, my mother is sick and sells it for money to see a doctor for my mother."

It turned out to be the case.

Mother and daughter depend on each other for life, and there is no strong labor in the family, so it is really difficult.

Anyway, since she has nothing to do, Jiang Chen will accompany her to the field for a walk.

The two came to the field. Many people in this field grow radishes, but the radishes are not growing well. It can be seen that there is not enough fertilization.

Axiu went to pull the radishes, Jiang Chen stood in the distance and looked at this vast field.

This series of fields share a canal. The so-called canal is to dig a ditch to bring in water, so that it is more convenient for villagers to irrigate.

Jiang Chen came to the irrigation ditch, and found that the water in the ditch was still very clear.

"Axiu, is the water in this canal drinkable?"

"Of course I can drink it. The villagers in this field will immediately grab water and drink it when they are thirsty."

Hearing Axiu's words, Jiang Chen's head flashed, as if he had grasped something.

"Whose land does Axiu belong to? Is there anyone dead in their family?"

"This land belongs to old uncle Cai's family. His daughter-in-law is dead."

"That piece belongs to Uncle Shui's house. Uncle Shui is dead."

…………

As Xiu talked, she became more and more shocked. She was shocked to find that the owner of the land near this canal had people who died of the plague, while the fields to the north, because they were not irrigated by this canal, no one in the family got the plague. .

"What the hell is going on, son?"

Axiu looked terrified.

"Now go and tell the villagers to gather here, I think I already know the reason."

"Ah."

Jiang Chen guessed that this plague was directly related to this canal.

After two cups of tea, all the villagers arrived.

The originally quiet field suddenly became noisy.

"Axiu, you called us here and said you have something very important to say, what exactly is it?"

"That's right, Axiu, my father's first seven years have not passed yet, and the funeral still needs to be taken care of."

"Why are you here?"

…………

The villagers questioned Axiu one by one, Axiu looked surprised, she looked at Jiang Chen, and asked him for help.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Jiang Chen shouted with genuine energy, his voice was like a bell, the person who was still talking immediately shut his mouth, and looked at him strangely.

"I have invited you here about this plague."

Hearing that it was related to this plague, everyone widened their eyes and listened carefully.

"This plague is related to this aqueduct."

"Are you kidding me? This canal has been around for hundreds of years, and we have never had any problems using it for irrigation and drinking."

"Yeah, what's the problem with this canal?"

"Who are you and why did you appear in our village?"

"And you, the guy who ruined Axiu's famous festival, can you believe what you say?"

…………

"Shut up for me."

Jiang Chen's dantian was lucky, and his voice was like ocean waves, instantly covering all voices.

Everyone was intimidated by Jiang Chen, this group were all honest farmers, although they were petty and cunning, their nature was pure and good.

"Axiu, tell everyone what you said just now."

Axiu and Jiang Chen nodded.

Next, Axiu told the owners of these lands, whoever died in the family.

The more everyone heard it, the more frightened they became. It wasn't that the owners of the land in the north didn't get the plague, why only the land here had it.

"Old cow, isn't your daughter-in-law still alive after suffering from the plague? Go and ask him if he has ever drank the water in the canal."

"I'll go back and ask."

After Lao Niu left, everyone looked heavy, waiting for news from Lao Niu.

After half a cup of tea, the old cow came back.

"How is it, old cow, what did your wife say."

"She said that she worked in this field yesterday and did drink the water in the canal."

After hearing what the old cow said, everyone believed that the plague was caused by this canal.

"This canal has been around for hundreds of years. Why did it happen in the past few days when it was fine before?"

"Yeah, what's going on."

"Could it be that the ghosts and gods were offended, and the ghosts and gods sent down plagues to punish us."

…………

Everyone said something to each other, the more they said, the more mysterious they became, and finally everyone cast their eyes on Jiang Chen.

"If you want to know what's going on with this water, you have to go to the source. Where does the water in this canal come from? If we search all the way along the canal, we will definitely find something."

Under the leadership of a villager, the whole village followed the two to find the culprit.

After walking for about half an hour, everyone became more and more anxious, and some were already questioning whether it was the cause of the aqueduct.

Chapter 41 Finding the source of the plague

Just when everyone was about to lose confidence, a wild deer body was suddenly found in a shallow stream of water.

The animal's carcass had a disgusting stench, and the carcass was densely covered with maggots, and many flies settled on or hovered over the carcass.

There was no wound on this deer, its eyes were white, and it looked like it had died of illness.

"As you can see, this plague was caused by this sick deer, the germs in the sick deer's body."

"What are germs?"

"You don't need to understand this. You just need to know that the dirty things in this sick deer pollute the water source, so people who drink the water will get sick."

"Oh……"

Everyone suddenly realized that it is no wonder that only people who have drank water here will get sick, and drinking other water sources will not get sick.

"Who are you going to clean up the sick deer? During this period of time, everyone should not drink the water from this stream. It can only be used for irrigation, at least after a few months."

Everyone nodded one after another. Everyone who was panicked by the plague before was relieved now.

"There is one more thing I want to clarify with everyone. Axiu and I are innocent. In fact, I don't like women. I'm only interested in men."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone was shocked, several men in the village looked at Jiang Chen's fair face, and unexpectedly had an idea.

Jiang Chen also sacrificed a lot for Axiu's innocence, anyway, they didn't know who he was, and after leaving today, they couldn't hear how they wanted to discuss it.

Everyone no longer doubts the two of them, and they can even say that they like men, so do they still need to lie?

If it is impossible for the two of them to get married, they can also restore Axiu's innocence.

Axiu looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled face, not knowing whether what he said was true or not.

It's just that she felt a little lost in her heart, and she didn't know why she was lost.

This time I damaged my reputation, if my fans knew about it, even if it wasn't true, I would abandon the book.

After dealing with this matter, Jiang Chen returned to Axiu's house again, and still ate wild vegetables with radishes at noon, wild vegetables in ancient times were not as hard to find as modern ones.

After finishing his lunch, Jiang Chen was about to leave.

He took out 50 taels of silver from his bag and put it on the table as a repayment for her kindness.

Jiang Chen rode "Zhu Sun" out of the village, he didn't know where he was going, anyway, he was already homeless, so why would he care about where to go, his home is everywhere, wandering around the world!

Jiang Chen practiced on horseback, let "Zhu Ri" take him casually, there is God's will in the dark!

The maids of Yihua Palace slept until noon, and the young ladies were lying on the grass. This scene was too sweet, but luckily no one passed by.

Several people woke up and found that the sun was overhead, and the temperature was a little hot. They didn't expect to sleep until noon.

"Everyone, eat quickly and get ready to go."

"Yes."

After eating quickly, they got on their horses, galloped and galloped all the way.

In the evening, they arrived at the village where Jiang Chen stayed.

They saw a villager on the road, and a palace maid stopped her and took out the portrait from her bosom.

"Has this person ever been to your village?"

"who are you."

"Stop talking nonsense, answer truthfully, dare to deceive us..."

She drew out her long sword, half of the blade was exposed, and the cold blade frightened the villagers.

"This man came to our village last night and helped us deal with the plague. He rode his horse and left the village at noon."

It's been half a day since I left!

"Which way is he going?"

"there."

The villager pointed in one direction.

"Chase! Drive..."

They immediately got on their horses and galloped away, kicking up dust all the way.

Jiang Chen has already finished his cultivation, and now he doesn't know where to go, but there is a ruined temple in front, where he can stay overnight.

Jiang Chen saw that the weather was muggy, it was already evening, but it was muggy instead, he looked up at the sky, it was pitch black, it was hard to determine whether it was going to rain or not.

Jiang Chen clamped the horse's body with both feet, controlled the direction of the rein, and galloped towards the ruined temple "by day".

When he arrived at the ruined temple, Jiang Chen pulled "Zhu Ri" to a tree not far from the ruined temple and tied him up.

Others walked towards the ruined temple.

Looking up, the plaque of the broken temple was broken in half, and only two characters could be seen in it, "Mountain God". It is estimated that this temple should be called "Mountain God Temple".

There are two stone lions in front of the temple. In this wilderness, these two stone lions are a bit fierce.

Jiang Chen walked into the temple.

I saw overgrown grass, broken walls and ruins, a dilapidated scene.It has been in disrepair for a long time, the idols have been destroyed, and the bleak autumn wind is desolate.Cobwebs weaved, temples collapsed, incense burners toppled, people were few and far between, and donors were few and far between.

Just as Jiang Chen stepped in, suddenly something ran over by his feet, he quickly landed his foot, and just stepped on that thing's body.

"Squeak..."

It turned out to be a mouse. In this ruined temple that has been abandoned for a long time, even people rarely see it, let alone food. This mouse is still willing to stay here.

Jiang Chen raised his foot and let it go, it was all lonely, poor life, why bother to hurt it.
