"If you want to contribute, don't be in a hurry," Qin Luochuan persuaded, "After confirming the location of the river channel, there are still many things that need you to do."

"It's not enough," Yu Qi knelt down in front of Qin Luochuan, "I beg your lord to help you."

"Get up quickly." Qin Luochuan quickly stretched out his hand to pull him. Even after living here for several years, he is still not used to the behavior of others kneeling when they touch him. Fortunately, Yu Qi did not become stubborn.

After the two of them sat down again, Qin Luochuan warned with a serious face, "Next time, don't kneel all the time, this method is useless to me."

"I was just eager for a moment, please forgive me if you can forgive me." Yu Qi bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"Just for once," Qin Luochuan waved his hand, "You go back and rest for two days, then get ready and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."

Yu Qi raised her head suddenly when she heard the words, and said in surprise: "My lord agrees that I will go with you?"

"Remember what you said, don't hold back on the road." Qin Luochuan said lightly.

After tangling for a while, Qin Luochuan still brought Yu Qi along.

He said that he would not accept this, but when he heard Yu Qi said that he wanted to do his part for his hometown, he still decided to do it.Moreover, I can take this opportunity to inspect Yu Qi again, otherwise, after the location of the river channel is settled, Qin Luochuan might be too busy to inspect the people below.

For the past two days, he spent the day in the Tongzhi Office dealing with official business, and Shang Qingyue handed over all the things he needed to bring to prepare, until the night before his departure, he saw the large pile that Shang Qingyue had rearranged. Qin Luochuan felt a little helpless about the clothes and items used to keep warm, "You know, I have enough clothes and food inside."

Shang Qingyue had already dismissed Suxue and Tingyu, and there were only the two of them and Xiaotuanzi who hadn't known anything in the room. Hearing Qin Luochuan's refusal, Shang Qingyue frowned slightly, her lips pursed into a line, and she bowed her head in silence for a moment. When he spoke again, there was unconsciously a begging tone in his tone, "Husband, please bring me this time, okay?"

"Okay, bring them all." Qin Luochuan couldn't bear his appearance the most, and there was still a lot of spare space in the space, just bring some more clothes, it's not a big deal, but Shang Qingyue's performance caused Qin Luochuan to panic Curious, "It's just bringing more clothes. If you insist, I won't refuse. Didn't you mean to make me feel bad for being so wronged?"

"I didn't do it on purpose..." Shang Qingyue wanted to make an excuse at first, but in the end she chose to give up halfway, and then walked a few steps forward in front of Qin Luochuan, actively put her arms around the other's waist, and at the same time leaned her head on Qin Luochuan's shoulder and said , "I'm just a little uneasy."

This was one of the few times when Shang Qingyue took the initiative. When she spoke, the hot and humid breath sprayed on Qin Luochuan's neck, making Qin Luochuan's heart shudder. One hand patted Shang Qingyue's back lightly, "Don't worry, it's just that there may be snow on the road, there are so many of us, nothing will happen. Besides, you don't know my skills. "

"I can't say why," Shang Qingyue put her face on Qin Luochuan's shoulder, her voice was muffled, "I just feel uneasy."

"Don't think too much," Qin Luochuan comforted, "Sun Dingping and the others have experience in marching in heavy snow, and we are all well prepared."

"Well," Shang Qingyue Yingde didn't let go of her heart at all, she still didn't let go of her hands holding Qin Luochuan, after a long time, she raised her head, looked at Qin Luochuan and said, "Husband, please remember that Xiaotuanzi and I are at home Await your return."

"I know." Qin Luochuan leaned forward and pressed a kiss between the frowning brows. In the previous few times of parting, he would tell Shang Qingyue to wait for him to come back, but this time Shang Qingyue said it in advance, thinking about it. Affected by this emotion for no reason, Qin Luochuan thought for a while and said, "I will take all the things you prepared, and I will bring a few more people with me tomorrow."

Shang Qingyue was a little surprised when he heard the words, but this arrangement really made him feel a lot more at ease, so he blurted out: "Okay."

Due to the temporary increase of the accompanying personnel, the departure time originally scheduled for the next morning was changed to the afternoon.

Sun Dingping couldn't understand why Qin Luochuan suddenly wanted to add people, "Aren't we the same people last time?"

"I'm afraid that there will be heavy snow on the road this time, and it will be safer if there are more people." Qin Luochuan just found an excuse to perfunctory the past, and it can't be said that it is to make his husband feel at ease.

Sun Dingping pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Your concerns are also reasonable. Although we have experience in marching in the snow, the road we are going to take this time is unfamiliar. It is indeed better to have more people. "

The Yunjiang River flows from northwest to southeast. If it snows, the source must be earlier than Rongcheng. If you go up the river, the snow will accumulate deeper and you will easily encounter blizzards.

Therefore, after discussing, Qin Luochuan and Sun Dingping both decided to ride horses to the upper reaches first, and then go down the river. Even if it snows, according to previous years' experience, from October to November, there will be no snow in the area of ​​Rongcheng. Where to go.

The newly added companions and the required supplies were quickly prepared. The group set off in the afternoon, and it took three days to reach their destination, a confluence of two rivers in the upper reaches of the Yunjiang River.

The two rivers coming from the snow-capped mountains converge here, which is the Yunjiang River below.

The location of the diversion of the river they were looking for naturally couldn't be so upstream, but it was because Qin Luochuan thought that he had already traveled so far anyway, so why not go further upstream and survey the entire river.

The further you go up, the lower the temperature, but it was the beginning of October, and it was actually bitingly cold.

Fortunately, everyone brought enough clothes and food, and thought that the further they went back, the closer they would be to Rongcheng, so they were active in doing things, even faster than the previous survey when they were downstream.

The only unbearable thing is that I can't find a good place to rest at night. It's not like before downstream, just find an open and sheltered place, and you can rest by lighting a fire.

It's cold here, even if a fire is lit at night, it can't stop the chill, so how can we have a good rest.

Therefore, when he was less than ten days away from Rongcheng, he finally saw a cave this afternoon. Sun Dingping was unwilling to move, and ran to Qin Luochuan happily, "My lord, let's settle down here tonight."

Qin Luochuan glanced at the sky, at most it was a little later, and there was still nearly an hour before dark, and there was still a long way to go down.

Seeing the expectant eyes of everyone behind Sun Dingping, Qin Luochuan nodded and said: "Then settle down here, and have a good rest tonight."

"Okay," Sun Dingping cheered, "When I was on the mountainside just now, I saw animal feces and wanted to see if I could catch prey."

Since he decided to rest here, and it was still early, Qin Luochuan waved his hands and said, "Go, bring a few people with you."

After Sun Dingping left, Qin Luochuan took the rest of the people to clean up the cave a bit.

The size of the cave is not small enough to accommodate all of them, and it is in a leeward position. Two fires are lit at night, which is believed to allow people to have a good night's rest.

After the cave was cleared out, the accompanying personnel went out to find the dead grass on the ground when they slept at night, and the dead branches for lighting the fire, leaving only Qin Luochuan, Yu Qi and the other two.

Qin Luochuan stood at the entrance of the cave for a while and then said, "You guys stay here and watch, I'll go to the river to take a bath."

"My lord, don't do it!" Yu Qi stopped after hearing the words, "It's cold and the water is cold now, taking a bath will hurt your body."

"It's okay, don't follow me." Qin Luochuan quickly went down the mountain after speaking.

When he was at the entrance of the cave just now, he saw a good place with a tall fir tree above it. Even though it was winter now, it was still lush and green, and he couldn't see anything below from the mountain.

When he got there, Qin Luochuan found that it was exactly as he had expected, the lower part was the same as the side, and it was a rocky beach, which was indeed a good place for bathing.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the icy cold wind and biting river water.

But these two things are nothing compared to the dirt all over his body.

Qin Luochuan quickly untied his robe and headband, and walked towards the icy river.

The moment his feet touched the river, he couldn't help shaking, but he quickly got used to it. After washing with the fastest speed, Qin Luochuan ran under the tree trunk with the clothes he had just untied.

As early as when he came ashore, he paid attention to the movement nearby, and confirmed that not only was there no one coming, but even animals, and he had noticed this place just now on the mountain, so when he got under the tree, he held it in his hand. Except for the outer shirt, all the rest of the clothes were changed from those in the space.

Putting on clean clothes and twisting his hair so that it doesn't drip, Qin Luochuan felt a lot more relaxed, and it's cold now, so he should be able to last until home after washing this time, and Shang Qingyue won't be able to smell the smell from before. It's a disgusting smell.

When Qin Luochuan returned to the cave, Sun Dingping still hadn't come back, but the rest of the people had found a lot of withered grass and firewood, lit a fire, and the orange fire made the whole cave look unusually warm.

Yu Qi sat cross-legged by the fire and wrote something. When she saw Qin Luochuan, she quickly got up and said, "My lord, come here and roast by the fire."

After speaking, I added a few more firewood to the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously.

Qin Luochuan sat down on the withered grass on the other side, opened his wet hair and roasted it, looked up at Yu Qi who continued to write with her head down, and asked, "What are you remembering?"

Yu Qi raised her head and said, "Your Excellency said that the reason why so many sand and stones are washed into the river during mountain torrents is because there are no short shrubs that can play a fixed role on the mountain. I remember that there are many such small shrubs on our side. And the growth rate is very fast, so I will write it down first.”

After a pause, he said again: "I also drew the trend of the river surveyed today."
