Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

Tian Xingjian asked the visitor to drink some water first: "Don't worry, take your time."

"Sir, after Lord Fang arrived in Mengluo Town, malaria has been basically controlled under the effect of artemisinin and has not spread to the surrounding towns." The visitor said after drinking the water and calming down for a while.

"It's good as long as it's under control." The Tian family was very happy to hear the news.

"However, several gentry in Mengluo Town have joined forces with the mayor, saying that Lord Fang and his men are using evil magic. They have only temporarily controlled the epidemic and want to drive us out of Mengluo Town."

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Ignorance is terrible, treating science as witchcraft.]

Daju: [Your father has saved so many patients this time, and his image has been planted in the hearts of the people. The mayor must be afraid! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are those people stupid? My father is a good official. If he governs Shengjing well, they will have fewer troubles.]

Daju: [They can’t use their power to show off their authority, and they can’t gain benefits from it, so no one wants the governor to be a good official.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [You can find a reason to remove the mayor and punish the gentry.]

Daju: [I’m going to eat melon tonight. ]

I can finally sleep peacefully tonight.

Tian Xiaoxiao woke up early the next morning.

The air in ancient times was fresh, and Tian Xiaoxiao felt that it would be nice to stay here for the rest of her life.

On the mornings in early summer, shops in the city open early, and steamed buns, soy milk, and various snacks appear at the morning market.

If the former Shengjing City was an illusion maintained by Song Yuanzhi asking for money from everywhere, then the Shengjing City today is its true appearance, full of vitality and colors.

Tian Xiaoxiao sat on the stone bench in front of the government office, feeling the words "The daily chores of life warm the heart the most."

When street vendors see Tian Xiaoxiao sitting on the stone bench, they will ask her if she wants a bowl of soy milk.

Tian Xiaoxiao would occasionally take a bowl, and after drinking the soy milk, she would put a copper coin at the bottom of the bowl.

After a long time, the vendors in Shengjing City have figured out Tian Xiaoxiao's personality. If she wants to drink, they will take it. If she doesn't want to drink, they just need to ask.

Although she was the daughter of a prefect, she did not have any overbearing air and she had learned the rules properly.

While we were having breakfast, Daju came back.

Tian Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she happily went into the main hall with Daju.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, are you back from Mengluo Town? ]

Daju: [I'm running so fast. That place is really a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and abundant resources. No wonder some people are trying every means to drive Fang Mingyu and his friends out of Mengluo Town.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is there any money to be made?]

Daju: [More than half of the farmland and forests in Mengluo Town are in the hands of the town mayor Feng Jinshan and a few gentry.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Fang Mingyu and his men are only going there to treat illnesses, it has nothing to do with their own interests, why did they drive my father's men away? ]

Daju: [Because their story was exposed by the rescued people.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are they going to kill someone? ]

Daju: [I haven't thought of killing anyone yet, but I'm doing everything I can to stop Fang Mingyu from leading his men into the largest forest in Mengluo Town.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is there a secret in the forest? ]

Daju: [Iron ore! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [They mined the iron ore privately? ]

Daju: [We have been digging for several years, and there is also an armory there. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is it prepared for the fifth prince? ]

Big Orange: [Smart.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Where are the other melons in Mengluo Town? ]

Daju: [Feng Jinshan is a notorious bandit who fled to Mengluo Town and bought the position of town mayor with money.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [No one recognized him? ]

Daju: [He has never left any traces, and has never shown his face, how could anyone recognize him! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Where is the evidence of his crime? ]

Daju: [Every one of them was carved on his wife's back, forming a peony flower.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh my god, he really knows how to have fun. But, to catch him, we have to catch his wife first?]

Daju: [He has an accomplice, a mute! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Mute people often become mute because they cannot hear. Since they cannot hear sounds, they cannot learn to speak.]

Daju: [A mute cannot speak, but can lip-read. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wow, this is a special talent! He can be a spy.]

Daju: [They worked together perfectly. However, before Feng Jinshan became the mayor of Mengluo Town, the two parted ways.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is it because the spoils were not divided equally? ]

Daju: [No! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Because of a woman?]

Daju: [Not really.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Feng Jinshan is the mute enemy who murdered his father? ]

Daju: [Although you have a rich store of gossip, the ones you mentioned are not the reasons why they parted ways.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Rack my brains! It can't be that we can't be separated because of love, right? ]

Daju: [No! I'll tell you straight! The reason why the mute is mute is because Feng Jinshan gave him a deadly poison in order to control him. Moreover, the mute's family was killed by Feng Jinshan.]

Daju: [Once, when Feng Jinshan was chatting with his wife, he was seen by the mute. In order to seek revenge, the mute left Feng Jinshan and went around to learn from masters, hoping that one day he could kill his enemy.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [The closest comrade-in-arms became an enemy, but the mute was able to remain calm, strengthen himself, and take revenge. He is also a powerful person.]

Daju: [He has already arrived in Mengluo Town and is looking for an opportunity to kill Feng Jinshan.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Hurry up and find a way to tell my father, and take the opportunity to replace the mayor of Mengluo Town with your own people and destroy Feng Jinshan.]

Daju: [Tell your father when he goes to sleep.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is there any news about Mei Li? ]

Daju: [There is no trace of him in Shengjing anymore. I want to go back to Stone City to find a way to speed up the refining of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.]

After breakfast, Tian Xiaoxiao took Ade to the street.

I have been in Shengjing for such a long time, but I have only gone shopping for food and watermelons, and have not had a good time to see the Shengjing market.

Lin Yunzhi put a dozen copper coins in her arms, and Ade took Tian Xiaoxiao out of the government office.

Daju was worried, so he followed him out.

The summer sun is hot and brilliant, the sky is high and blue, with a few white clouds occasionally floating by.

In Shengjing City, the trees on both sides of the streets are lush and green.

Ade brought Tian Xiaoxiao to Fengyu Lake in Shengjing. There was a wind and rain bridge on the lake. From the bridge, one could see a field of lotus flowers in the lake.

The few lotus flowers blooming in the pond are graceful and untainted by the mud, emitting a faint fragrance. Dragonflies and butterflies flutter among the flowers, adding a bit of agility and vitality to the summer scenery.

There are several small boats on the lake, and fishermen on the boats are fishing.

Tian Xiaoxiao: "Ade, do you like Wucheng or Shengjing?"

Ade: "I prefer Wucheng."

Tian Xiaoxiao: "Why?"

Ade: "The people in Wucheng are simpler, there aren't so many evil people."

Tian Xiaoxiao: "Evil people are everywhere, but there are especially many here, probably because of Shengjing's special location!"

Daju: [There is a big melon in the lake! ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [About love, or about hate? ]
