Chapter 59: Groundbreaking Curse
After Liu Yaoyao's "passion" ignited the Chen Palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire first month of the year had turned into a lively stage. Even the rubble of the shops seemed to be singing the "song of reconstruction". People urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and play the prelude to commercial prosperity!"
Liu Yaoyao, the shopkeeper, slapped her thigh and thought, "The opportunity has come!" So she decisively turned on the "bold" mode of the shopkeeper. Fortunately, she had a keen eye and dug out Qian Xiaohu and He Ming, two capable men, from the "Ten Evil Men".
Hey, this Liu Yaoyao, although she has many flaws like stars, her vision is as bright as the Big Dipper. Qian Xiaohu, that guy, has first-class interpersonal skills, and expanding business is like a piece of cake; and He Ming, this buddy, is a master at accounting and doing business, he is simply the "Zhuge Liang" of the business world.
Liu Yaoyao thought to herself: "With such talented people around me, how can I let them sit idle?" So she waved her hand and decided on the general direction of the shop, and left the tedious details to Qian Xiaohu and He Ming.
As for her, she just became a hands-off boss, sitting back and waiting to count money until her hands cramped.
However, Liu Yaoyao's busy schedule did not stop. Next, she and Ling Chenyu had to go to the countryside to prepare for the important water conservancy project. This was the top priority at the moment, related to the livelihood of the people and the stability of the country, so she naturally did not dare to slack off.
By the time Liu Yaoyao had almost finished her business, time had run away like a wild horse, running straight to the end of the first lunar month. The water conservancy project was like a sword of Damocles hanging over her head, which could fall and hit her head at any time!
Liu Yaoyao and Ling Chenyu didn't hesitate, they hit it off, packed their bags and prepared to leave. As soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by Liu Jingshu, the green tea spirit.
"Sister, where are you going? Take me with you to play!" Liu Jingshu blinked her big eyes with an innocent look on her face.
Liu Yaoyao sneered in her heart. This green tea girl is really good at acting. But her face was merciless: "Sister, we are going to move bricks, not go shopping. Why are you interfering?"
After saying that, Liu Yaoyao simply turned sideways, pushed her away as if avoiding the plague, and was about to leave while holding Ling Chenyu's hand.
Liu Jingshu was stunned, then chased after him and asked, "Sister, I just want to ask, did my brother-in-law mention me in the visiting card he wrote back to the court before the New Year? I am also involved in the matter of finding potatoes!"
Liu Yaoyao rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "This green tea is endless." But she said unceremoniously, "I mentioned it, okay?"
"Really?"
"Believe it or not, I don't care about you!"
After Liu Yaoyao finished speaking, she pulled Ling Chenyu onto the carriage and urged the guards to set off quickly.
Liu Jingshu wanted to ask more questions, but the carriage had already sped away like a wild horse, leaving behind only a pile of dust and her frustrated expression. She stamped her feet in anger and cursed at the carriage as it drove away: "Liu Yaoyao, you have no conscience!"
At this time, Liao Rong caught up from behind and asked with concern: "Jingshu, have you asked your sister? When they wrote to the court, did they mention our Liu family?"
Liu Jingshu curled her lips and thought disdainfully, "You Liu family? Humph, what a big face." But she comforted Liao Rong, "Mom, don't worry. Sister said that it was all our credit, and your credit is even greater. You can't escape."
Liao Rong listened and confirmed it again and again, and finally she felt relieved. However, what she didn't know was that Liu Jingshu secretly added in her heart: "If the credit really goes away, it means that Liu Yaoyao didn't say it well. Don't blame me for being rude then!"
No matter what the two of them thought in their hearts, at least on the surface they returned to the palace in a loving manner.
Liu Yaoyao shook off Liu Jingshu, and the carriage swayed towards the hinterland of Dayanzi Mountain until it stopped at Laoaogou.
This Laoaogou is separated from Liujiazhuang by Xiaoyanzi Mountain and is actually located at the foot of Dayanzi Mountain.
But now, all the people living here are ten old men and women, and the young ones have fled to escape the famine. These old people, originally they couldn't walk, so they didn't flee, but they didn't expect that they could survive by relying on the mountains to eat, and they were hungry and full.
The old people also mentioned that they were able to survive thanks to a kind-hearted man in the mountains who would send them some prey from time to time.
"Prey? Could it be the bandits from Dayanzi Mountain?" Liu Yaoyao guessed so, and the old man who spoke hurriedly thanked Xiao Shilang.
Come on, this guy won’t run away!
Liu Yaoyao thought to herself, this young man is really good, and she would have to promote him if she had the chance in the future.
Liu Yaoyao asked the old gentlemen in front of everyone about their opinions on the canal repair. When the old men heard this, their eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, this is a great thing!"
Over the years, they have been looking forward to having a canal every year, at least to have water during drought years, and to help their crops grow better during normal times so that they don't have to go hungry. Now that Liu Yaoyao and her team are here to build the canal, they fully support it!
Laoaogou is right at the first stop for diverting lake water from the top of Dayanzi Mountain, so it is most appropriate to set the starting point of the canal here.
Liu Yaoyao originally planned to let the villagers work by themselves, and she would provide food as wages. But there are only elderly people here, how can they move?
So Liu Yaoyao had to call Xiao Shilang and others to help.
After a while of getting used to the old people, these young people got along well with the old people. When they heard that they were going to dig a canal, they all went to the construction site and prayed for a good start.
When they reached the planned area, Ling Chenyu took the first hoe and symbolically dug into the ground. But as he dug, the hoe broke with a "crack"!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and a few elderly people came over tremblingly and dug the soil with their hands. They actually found a stone tablet and a skeleton as thin as a firewood stick, and there seemed to be a pool of dried blood next to the skeleton.
The old people were so frightened that they fell to their knees and cried out, "God, please forgive me!"
Ten old men knelt down and kowtowed, not even realizing that their heads were bleeding.
They accused one after another: "Building water conservancy projects in a drought year is against common sense. Now it has angered the gods and has brought down heavenly punishment. This is a curse for building water conservancy projects in a drought year!"
Liu Yaoyao watched all this and felt very nervous. But she thought, since it was a water conservancy project, it was for the benefit of the people, so the gods wouldn't blame her, right?
She mustered up her courage and said loudly, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We are doing this for the good of the villagers and for everyone to have a good harvest. The gods will understand. Let's keep digging!"
After hearing what Liu Yaoyao said, the old people were still panicking, but they didn't try to persuade her. They continued to dig with their hoes, but they didn't expect that the second hoe would break again with a "crack".
The old men went forward again and saw another stone tablet, a human bone, and a bloodstain.
Now, no matter how Liu Yaoyao and the others explained, the old people refused to continue the construction.
