I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Governor Zhang smelled the water in the bowl and said in disbelief.

"Dad, I'll go take a look!" Zhang Quan hurried out of the house.

"Brother, I'm going too, I'm going too..." Zhang Hu ran out.

Governor Zhang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: I am a governor and I am not in a hurry to go, why are you two bastards in a hurry...

"Quick, prepare the carriage and go to the border guard camp..." Governor Zhang ordered the servant waiting outside the door.

……

The news that water had been found in the border guard camp of Ye County spread like wildfire, and in less than half a day it had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Ye County.

Many civilians gathered near the border guard camp, trying to find out what was going on.

The military camp is a restricted area and no one is allowed to approach.

The border guard held a long knife and looked at the onlookers vigilantly.

In the evening, Liang Yuhui just came out of the border guard camp, and the people surrounded him.

"Master Liang, Master Liang, is there really water?"

"Grandpa... can I drink the water?"

"Grandpa, did you really dig a well?"

……

The voice asked noisily.

Liang Yuhui stood on a high place and said happily: "Fellow villagers, the Bian Hujun has dug a deep well, and the water coming out is sweet and clear. The county government will continue to dig wells in other places, and everyone will have water to drink..."

"Master, you can buy as much as you want to drink?" A man stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to ask Liang Yuhui.

Liang Yuhui laughed loudly: "Yes, the people of our Ye County can drink as much as they want..."

"Wow... That's great, there's actually water to drink..."

The people didn't know how to express their feelings. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, muttering: "Liang County Magistrate is really an upright and honest man, and he is the lifesaver of the people of Ye County."

Liang Yuhui took the opportunity to say a few more words, asking people to call back their relatives who were displaced.

He also promised that not only would the people have water to drink, but they would also have food to eat.

Boling County and Ye County are separated by only a mountain, and the people on both sides have more contact. Most of the people in Ye County have heard of Liang Yuhui, who went to the mountains with people from the government office to find water for the people of Boling County.

Magistrate Liang is a good magistrate.

Water was found in a well in Ye County, and the news soon spread to the Western Barbarians.

Tuomu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Has Aqingmu not come back yet?"

"Chief, not yet..."

"Deal with the matter of Foyuan Temple and let him find out how the water is pumped out of Ye County... In addition, does the spy have any news from the capital..." Tuomu asked again.

"not yet……"

……

The second well was dug in the south city, where there were more people.

County Magistrate Liang searched for half a month but couldn't find a shop that could make butterfly spines, so he had to give up.

We can drill a well every four or five days. If we continue to do so, it is acceptable.

On the day when water came out of the well in Nancheng, the people of the entire Ye County gathered in Nancheng with great fanfare. With the shouts of the men, clear water gurgled out.

Mrs. Huang also went to see it.

She held Ji Xiaobei's arm and her legs trembled with excitement.

The moment the water came out, the people knelt down again to thank the water god for giving them the water to drink.

A few people in the crowd saw this and quietly left in the direction of Shanyuan Temple.

Those few people seemed a little out of place among the crowd of devout people.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at it a few times but didn't care.

This place is not far from Shanyuan Temple, and she remembered the jade pendant given to her by Fang Zhiying.

She asked Lian Feng to take Huang Po back, but Huang Po wanted to follow the people to Shanyuan Temple to burn incense.

She said solemnly, "Xiaobei, water can be pumped out of Ye County now. That means the water god has appeared. I have to go kowtow and burn incense to the water god."

"Grandma Huang, there are too many people in Shanyuan Temple today, you should go another day..." Ji Xiaobei pushed her and Lian Feng onto the donkey cart without saying anything. There was a flood in the south city today, and the people of Ye County all went to Shanyuan Temple to burn incense. There were too many people, and Ye County was not a peaceful place.

She thought it was better to be careful.

She saw Lian Feng and Huang Po off and hurried to Shanyuan Temple.

There are really a lot of people in Shanyuan Temple. The front of the Buddha statue is crowded with people, and the air is filled with smoke and crowds of people.

Ji Xiaobei did not join in the fun. He avoided the crowd and walked towards a quiet path.

There are green pines and cypresses planted on both sides of the path.

Suddenly I heard someone talking.

"Madam Hong, I didn't expect there to be so many people here today. If we had known, we would have come later!"

"Girl, another well was dug in the south city today, and the people all came to Shanyuan Temple to burn incense, so there are more people."

"So that's how it is, Madam Hong. Have you noticed that there seem to be quite a few people living near the courtyard where we live? They all look so strange. I was shocked when I saw them yesterday."

"Yes, we'd better go back quickly!"

……

Ji Xiaobei recognized that it was Fang Zhiying and Nanny Hong.

What a coincidence.

She turned a corner and headed in their direction.

"Miss Fang, you are here too?" Ji Xiaobei asked with a smile.

Her sudden appearance startled Fang Zhiying.

"Miss Ji, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Fang Zhiying asked in surprise.

"There's water coming out of the well in South City, so I came here with my family to burn incense..." Ji Xiaobei replied with a smile.

At this time, two dark figures hurriedly walked along the path over there.

Madam Hong looked a little nervous and reminded quietly: "Miss, why don't we go back first..."

Fang Zhiying also saw it out of the corner of her eye, and her heart tightened.

Ji Xiaobei had already noticed someone passing by there.

"Miss Fang, there are a lot of people in Shanyuan Temple today. If you have nothing to do, you should go home as soon as possible!" Ji Xiaobei reminded.

Fang Zhiying nodded.

"By the way, Miss Fang, where did you get the jade pendant you gave me last time? I want to ask for two to take back for the children..." Ji Xiaobei asked.

"It's at the abbot's place at the Foyuan Temple. Do you want me to take you there?"

Fang Zhiying asked enthusiastically.

Ji Xiaobei has a lot of things to do today while there are so many people here. The abbot should also be very busy today. It is not the right time to go.

She shook her head and said, "The abbot must be very busy today. Let's wait until he is free."

Fang Zhiying felt that what Ji Xiaobei said made sense.

After saying goodbye to Ji Xiaobei, she and Nanny Hong left in a hurry.

She wanted to remind Miss Ji to be careful, but thinking that she might be a pilgrim who came to burn incense, she did not say anything.

Ji Xiaobei continued to walk forward, and after taking two steps he heard a cry of surprise...

When she ran over, she found a handkerchief on the side of the road. She knew at a glance that it was a handkerchief used by women.

Her heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong.

She looked up and saw the small courtyard in front of her. The door was ajar. She pushed it open without thinking.

There was a nanny in the yard who was boiling medicine. She looked up when she heard the noise.

Ji Xiaobei knew this nanny, she was from Fang Zhiying's family.

"Your daughter hasn't come back yet?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"No, she went out with Nanny Hong. They should be back by now..." Nanny raised her head and looked at Ji Xiaobei's cold expression, feeling that something was not going well.

"You are, you are Miss Ji who went to Fang Mansion some time ago..."

The nanny also recognized Ji Xiaobei.

"Something might have happened to your daughter..." Ji Xiaobei said, turned around and walked out.

The medicine jar in the nanny's hand shook. After Ji Xiaobei left, she sneered, threw the jar far away, went back to the house, picked up the small bag that she had packed long ago, and was about to run out.
