The Folk Song of the Qingquan Case in the Northern Song Dynasty

Seeing that Qianqing was about to start nagging again, Wu Bai hurriedly interrupted: "Master Xia, the way to get out of the village... sounds impossible, but it is actually possible. The ravine in front of you used to be a river."

When Ganqing heard this, he immediately shook his head and objected, pointing to the ravine and said loudly: "Don't be joking. The terrain of your village is weird. The mountains, rivers, and ravines are like a dragon encircling the village, and the whole village is surrounded. There is warm water in the river. Strange, it seems to have been diverted, which is true. But looking at the depth and width of the gully, how could it have been a river? The terrain here is flat, and the river flows down the mountain. A deep river?"

He chattered endlessly, but every sentence made sense.

Shuiyun couldn't help but get a headache when he heard Qianqing's speech: "Actually, we don't know. Mr. Yi said that this gully was originally a river course. Later, the river was diverted and the river course dried up. And this gully... is people's continued work on the basis of the river course. dug out."

Clean up and look around.The gully is very deep, if you fall down, you will definitely break your bones like Granny Meng.The rocks and soil on both sides are perpendicular to the bottom.If it is said that it is a naturally formed valley, Qianqing will believe it; if it is said that it was excavated by man, Qianqing will never believe it.

He raised his eyebrows, mocking: "Crazy? Changed the river, widened and dug it deeper. Why? What were you thinking in the minds of your ancestors?"

The two of them were silent, Qian Qing smiled again: "Don't listen to Yi Xiangquan's nonsense, does he mean what he says?"

Just as Wu Bai was about to speak, he saw Hei Hei and Ya Er coming out of the house, both carrying a lot of burdens.The mute's face was reddish, his body was extremely weak, and he was wrapped in several layers of thick clothes.Hei Hei helped her to sit firmly on the big plank.

Seeing this, Qianqing felt inexplicably nervous, turned around and asked Shuiyun, "How on earth does the Xiangquan bring the water here? Are we going to cross the gully on this wooden plank? It's just nonsense."

Shui Yun sighed: "Young Master Yi said that river water is easy to attract..."

"How can he have the ability to reach the sky? Do you think he is a half-immortal who can call the wind and rain, and make the sky flash and thunder?" Gan Qing couldn't help joking, Shui Yun glared at him, but suddenly heard a few loud noises from a distance.

"what sound?"

Gan Qing's eyes widened, and he saw running water coming from the west in the drier gully just now.The water rushed out all at once, and the torrent tumbling, slapped the gray rocks on both sides of the gully, rolled up the sand, and surrounded Wu Village in an instant.Due to the narrowness of the gully, the water flow is even more rapid, rumbling like thunder.The running water really fell from the sky like a giant dragon with the sound of thunder, and surrounded Wu Village in an instant.

This situation and the situation are horrifying, my hair is loose, my whole body is stiff, and my jaw is about to drop from shock.

Everyone was silent.

"How did Yi Xiangquan do it?" Qianqing pointed to the running water with his finger, and it took him a long time to hold back this sentence.

Wu Bai also looked shocked: "He got up and went out after talking with me last night, still holding a shovel or something like that."

"Shovel?" Gan Qing stared at Wu Bai dumbfounded, stuttering, his voice hoarse, "Did he use the shovel to bring the river here?"

Wu Bai stared at the surface of the gully with disbelief: "I also think it's impossible...but, that's Mr. Yi."

"Yi Gongzi" is very heavy.And Ganqing laughed twice: "You said that he carried gunpowder, worked hard for three days and three nights, and then ignited it, and diverted the river water through a new channel. I still believe it. But, you said that he used a shovel... …shovel!"

Gan Qing grabbed Wu Bai, and Wu Bai hurriedly broke free: "Don't pull me, how do I know how he did it?"

The rumble continued.It has only been a short time since Qianqing left the house, but the water is rising rapidly, rushing like a ferocious beast, and it is about to engulf Wu Village.Gan Qing swallowed his saliva and looked around, only then did he feel a trace of fear.

Shui Yun was also a little scared, and urged: "Young Master Yi has already said that we will step on the wooden plank when the river is almost full to prevent it from collapsing."

"The river is rising rapidly, and I'm afraid it will overflow the embankment and submerge the village soon. If we don't sit on the board, we're afraid. You go first." Qian Qing looked a little ugly, looking at Shui Yun, "You just said What collapsed?"

Hei Hei supported the mute to sit on the board, and said: "The village should be submerged quickly. Fortunately, most of the property in the village is not here, and it is submerged... just forget it."

Everyone also set foot on the board one after another, carrying several pieces of luggage, large and small.Ganqing felt a mess in his head and went up too.When the water covered two-thirds of the ravine, Qianqing looked around and said anxiously, "Where is the Xiangquan! If you don't leave, then——"

A group of white shadows floated in the distance, Xiangquan who was walking hurriedly.Qianqing breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at his appearance again, Qianqing suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and slapped his thigh.

"Did Xiangquan...dig a water channel leading to that hole?

Wu Bai was stunned: "What?"

"Cave," Qianqing seemed to understand a little bit, "Feng Jiuniang threw me into that cave, and the cave is just at the junction of the river and the ravine, very close to the two places. You think, I came from The one who crawled out of the hole was dazed and aching all over, and thought he was going to die. But after climbing for a while, he ended up crawling into the gully, and was saved."

Wu Bai suddenly realized: "You mean..."

"The cave is connected to the gully, so Xiangquan only needs to dig a channel to let the river water enter the cave and then flow to the gully."

"But when Mr. Yi was looking for you, he saw that the hole had collapsed!" Shui Yun felt that something was wrong, seeing Xiang Quan approaching, he hurriedly moved a place for him to sit on.

Qianqing was taken aback: "Collapse? What's going on?"

Seeing Xiangquan approaching but not stepping on the plank, his tone was cold and urgent: "Don't talk too much, everyone sit still. After the river rises, we will quickly paddle to the other side. Is there something to use as a paddle?"

Hei Hei nodded, and raised the other long plank.Gan Qing turned his head and asked, "Will the river flood the village?"

"It will probably flood," Xiangquan said lightly, and looked around seriously, "This river carries a lot of sediment and stones, so be careful not to fall into the water."

Ganqing wanted to say something else, but just after he uttered half a word, he felt his whole body shaking—who knew that Xiang Quan quickly kicked the wooden board, and the wooden board slid down into the surging river!

"Yixiang Spring!"

Qianqing let out a roar, while the rest of the people shrieked and huddled together, Xiangquan jumped and quickly stepped onto the wooden plank.

The board shook violently, while Xiang Quan picked up the "paddle" and paddled quickly and steadily.The six people were crowded on a big wooden board, as if they were being pushed around by the rushing water in a dilapidated boat.

Sitting on the wooden board, Qianqing felt a little dizzy, and felt like he had a big dream.He didn't care about the hair that was about to fall, but just looked at the corner of his clothes that was wet by the river.

"Look at the village again." Xiang Quan uttered this sentence, as if speaking to everyone, but also as if muttering to himself.

Everyone raised their heads.Snow covered the front, and the originally desolate village shimmered under the sunlight.The green pines and cypresses are not less green, standing upright, but the river beside the pines and cypresses is rushing, and it is gradually overflowing the embankment.Wu Village has changed from the peaceful state of the past. The mountains and rivers are magnificent, but there is a tinge of desolation.

Hei Hei, Duan Er and Shui Yun were silent, just staring at the mountain village blindly.Wu Bai spit out the word "goodbye" and felt a little stupid, so he turned his head away and didn't look at it again.

Gan Qing was taken aback, as if he had just stepped out of a painting.In the mist of mist, he just woke up from his dream, and realized that this series of bizarre events had come to an end in the same bizarre way.
