From the end to the other world

When Yu Qi stopped writing, Qin Luochuan said: "Show me what you wrote."

"Yes." After Yu Qi answered, she spread out the booklet and roasted it by the fire for a while, and then respectfully handed it to Qin Luochuan after the ink was completely dry.

Qin Luochuan himself has an excellent memory, and he will never forget what he has seen. When he was surveying the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River, if it was late that day, he would delay drawing the terrain together for a few days.

This time Yu Qi followed, and if Qin Luochuan didn't have time, he would leave this matter to him.

Yu Qi is careful and learns quickly. Even Qin Luochuan's painting method, which no one here has used before, he learned after watching it twice.

Qin Luochuan casually glanced at the record book he handed over. The terrain description of the mountains, rivers and rivers in it almost reached Qin Luochuan's own level, and the conditions encountered on the road were recorded in more detail. Even Qin Luochuan said which mountain can be planted. Trees are remembered.

These seem like trivial matters, but they can save Qin Luochuan a lot of effort when he returns to Rongcheng.Many things no longer require him to intervene all the time, and the follow-up can be arranged according to Yu Qi's records.

After flipping through the entire booklet and thinking about Yu Qi's performance these days, Qin Luochuan pondered for a moment and said, "After returning to Rongcheng, let's buy a house near the Tongzhi Hall, so as not to be too busy on the road later time."

Yu Qi was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and after realizing what he meant, she stood up and saluted, "Thank you, sir, I will buy the house immediately after my subordinates return."

Before, because Yu Qi rushed home rashly, Qin Luochuan suppressed the matter of the master and did not talk about it. Now that nearly a month has passed, the performance of the other party during this period is indeed unmistakable, and he is about to return to Rongcheng, so he plans to Fulfilling her previous promise will also allow Yu Qi to get ready for the next busy day.

Master Yu Qi's position can be regarded as Qin Luochuan's personal secretary from a certain point of view. In the future, the two of them must be tied together in business matters, so Qin Luochuan beat him again, "Work hard in the future, If you do something wrong to the common people, don't blame me for not remembering the past."

"This subordinate knows," Yu Qi bowed and bowed to Qin Luochuan with her hands clasped in fists. This gesture made it difficult to see the expression on his face, and one could only tell from the tone of his resoluteness when he said this, "If you do If you are sorry for the people or adults, you don't need to be held accountable, Yu Qi is willing to die to apologize."

Qin Luochuan wanted to say something else, when he heard a commotion from outside the cave, followed by Sun Dingping's voice at the entrance of the cave, "My lord, guess what we hunted?"

From his unconcealable complacency, Qin Luochuan knew it must be a good thing. After listening carefully, he found that the footsteps of a few people behind him were heavier than usual, presumably it was a big prey, "Could it be that you hunted a wild boar? "

"Things that are better than wild boars." Sun Dingping beckoned, and the people outside the cave carried the things in.

Qin Luochuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect it to be a wild deer that had been taken care of.

Even without the fur and internal organs, it must have weighed at least a hundred catties.

Here in the barren mountains and mountains, since there are wild deer, there must be other large animals, Qin Luochuan asked worriedly: "Have you taken care of the internal organs?"

"Don't worry, my lord," one of the attendants carrying the venison replied confidently, "My little ancestor was a hunter in the mountains. After handling these things, I guarantee that they won't attract other ferocious animals."

Qin Luochuan nodded, "Just deal with it properly."

There was so much venison to be roasted all of a sudden, the firewood that had been prepared was naturally not enough, so the people who stayed here to pack and collect firewood went out to find some firewood and came back.

The fresh venison is skewered with thick wooden sticks and grilled on the fire. The fat forced out by the high temperature falls on the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound, and the rich meat fragrance fills the entire cave.

The two piles of burning firewood made the cave very warm. Qin Luochuan and Sun Dingping sat in the innermost, watching the accompanying soldiers twirling the barbecue sticks with great interest.

Seeing that the venison was about to be roasted, Sun Dingping suddenly took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Qin Luochuan and said, "My lord, this is the deer antler that was cut just now."

"What are you doing for me?" Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly after realizing it, "You hunted it yourself, and after you sell it in Rongcheng, you will divide the money, so that you can buy some gifts for your family."

Hearing what he said, Sun Dingping readily put away the velvet antler, "I'll make arrangements when I get back."

The rest of the people also thanked Qin Luochuan one after another.

Qin Luochuan shook his head. Originally, he didn't do much to hunt deer, so how could he go for deer antler, besides, he was not short of this little money.

Such a big deer is enough for all of them to have a full meal and there is still leftovers. After eating, Sun Dingping led people to bury all the bones, and divided up the unfinished parts. Each one was wrapped in leaves. You can save it for tomorrow.

It was getting late at this time, and after arranging the personnel who took turns to watch the night, the rest of the people went to find places to lie down and rest.

The cave was warm and windless, and the venison I ate just now was something to warm my body. After I couldn't feel the coolness, it didn't take long for me to lie down and snoring sounded one after another in the cave.

Qin Luochuan was lying alone in a corner of the fire. The withered grass under his body was not too thick, but it was enough to insulate him from the cold air in the ground. He was wrapped in a large cloak, so he didn't feel cold, but he couldn't sleep.

Thinking of Shang Qingyue's uneasy look when he left, Qin Luochuan was a little worried. He was like that before he left, and he must not feel at ease after spending this month at home.

Thinking of this, Qin Luochuan simply sat up and looked at the rough map he already had, and calculated how long it would take before he could go home.

Qin Luochuan watched seriously, and didn't look up until he heard the rustling of someone getting up from the withered grass on the opposite side.

Yu Qi just sat up, looking at the fire in front of her with confused eyes.

Qin Luochuan put away the book and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Some can't sleep," Yu Qi shook her head, "Where is your lord?"

Qin Luochuan said: "I'll get up and see how long it will take to reach Rongcheng."

Yu Qi was silent for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "Do you miss your husband and children at home?"

What he said was a bit out of line, but because of the time and the environment, it didn't seem abrupt. Qin Luochuan didn't think there was anything to hide about it, so he nodded and said, "I'm thinking about it."

Yu Qi hugged her knees with both hands, staring at the fire in front of her with fixed eyes, her expression was gentle, as if she had thought of something beautiful.

This was a very insecure posture, which was in sharp contrast to the emotion revealed in his eyes. Qin Luochuan glanced at it and asked, "Do you have a girl or Shuang'er you like?"

"There used to be one," Yu Qi still rested her chin on her knees, her tone became distant, "She was my husband's daughter, but she got married a few years ago, and later made me do bad things , I have already given up thinking about it, and... no longer contact me. "

Qin Luochuan didn't expect such a situation, and comforted him: "There are so many good girls and Shuang'er in Rongcheng, you will definitely meet someone better than her."

"No need." Yu Qi murmured.

His voice was as thin as a mosquito, even Qin Luochuan, who had excellent hearing, could not hear clearly, "What did you say?"

"Thank you, my lord," Yu Qi raised her head and forced a smile, "Yu Qi has no father or mother, so maybe I will ask your lord to officiate the marriage."

"Why is this difficult?" Qin Luochuan waved his hands, "Hurry up and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow."

After a good night's sleep, we continued to investigate the next day.

It's just that the weather, which was relatively good, gradually turned gloomy, and it seemed that a snowstorm was brewing. Seeing this, everyone tacitly speeded up the survey, trying to find a suitable location for opening the river before the snowstorm came.

Finally, less than four days away from Rongcheng, Qin Luochuan found a terrain that fully met his requirements.

The turbulent river came from the upper reaches, and when it was blocked by a high mountain, it turned around and flowed diagonally downward.

"Let's go up to that cliff top and have a look." Qin Luochuan couldn't hide his surprise in his tone. This place, no matter its terrain or location, seemed to be born for his needs.

After more than two months of reconnaissance, the accompanying people naturally knew what kind of terrain they were looking for. A group of people were equally excited and climbed up to the top of the cliff that Qin Luochuan mentioned at the fastest speed.

The icy river wind made people's cheeks hurt, but everyone didn't seem to notice it.

Qin Luochuan stood on the top of the cliff and watched for a long time before he smiled and said, "That's it."

The two-month trek through mountains and rivers finally came to fruition. Hearing this, Sun Dingping didn't care about the coldness of the cliff, so he sat on the ground with his buttocks up, raised his head and let out a long roar.

Qin Luochuan didn't bother him, the others didn't dare to be as presumptuous as he was, but they also sat down to rest one after another.

The top of the cliff is wide, and Qin Luochuan originally wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but Yu Qi asked, "Where does your lord plan to open the river?"

"It's good there," Qin Luochuan pointed to a spot below the cliff, "That's the lowest place in this section. We saw it on another mountaintop just now. Behind it is just a small hillside, and then there is a The straight valley leads to the south of Rongcheng, as long as the hillside is cut, the river channel to be opened is not difficult."

Yu Qi was puzzled, "With the military strength of Rongcheng and the surrounding people together, it is not difficult to move the small hill behind and open a river, but the side near the river is rocky, no matter how much It will be difficult for someone who does not have three to five years to dig it out."

"As long as it can be beneficial for thousands of years, let alone three or five years, so what if it is ten or eight years?" Qin Luochuan smiled, his eyes were determined to win, "Besides, this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, even if the rocks are hard, it can still be used. After the firewood on the mountain has been burned, it will be washed with river water, and the lines will be cracked for easy digging."

Yu Qi bowed her head and praised, "My lord is indeed resourceful."

Qin Luochuan stretched his body on the edge of the cliff, "Let's go, rest with them, we will take a shortcut back to Rongcheng tonight, and we will investigate the rest of the road after the snow falls."

"Wait," Yu Qi called Qin Luochuan to stop, "I still have something to ask."

"What's the matter?" Qin Luochuan stood there without moving.

Yu Qi pointed to the place where the river flows now, "After the new river channel is opened, will the original place have any bad influence?"

"No." Qin Luochuan shook his head, pointed to that place, and was about to explain to Yu Qi, when he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind, which was worse than the icy wind, so he subconsciously hid to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Dingping's exclamation and the sound of sharp knives tearing silk were heard.
