The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub
Chapter 99: Strange Moat
It had been a long time since she heard the summons from this adult. The last time was in Yunjia Village in her previous life. Ever since Yunli was married to Wang Quezi's family and this adult gave her a sum of money, he never showed up again.
She has never received that money in her life!
If the Lord sends other people to do the work and doesn't give her money, how can she buy things to please Uncle Yunfan when he wakes up?
In his previous life, Yun Hu didn't take his great-grandmother's words about his uncle Yun Fan being a child prodigy seriously. He thought that even if he was good, he would not have any future if he hadn't read a book for ten years. Therefore, among the two scholars in the family, Yun Hu decisively chose to please his third grandfather, Yun Wenxing, the third son of the Yun family.
But who would have thought that Yun Fan, who had no family to support him, would get such an opportunity?
Although his uncle did not forget the Yun family after he became successful and even brought them all to the capital, every time Yun Hu went to please his uncle, he was indifferent.
Therefore, in this life, Yunhu must get the reward money and use it to support his uncle's studies!
She was already very upset that she had not been able to wake up Yunfan's uncle when Yunli was away a few days ago. Since there was no way to wake her uncle up in advance, she would use the adults to completely eliminate Yunli.
The reborn Yunhu is very confident. She feels that she is a gifted girl with both intelligence and beauty.
Yunli would never have thought that what she thought was an assassination attempt on Yunfan turned out to be such a farce.
"You don't have to worry about these! Just cooperate with Qin Ji and her daughter with all your strength when the time comes." The man in black got angry when he saw the stupid look of the girl in front of him.
I don't know what strange things that little head is thinking about, and the eyes looking at him reveal extremely stupid calculations.
Spicy eyes!
Forget it, leave the rest to Qin Ji.
The man in black thought so and turned away without any reluctance.
Yunhu called out "Sir" twice in a low voice, but no one came back, so he went back with his head down.
After waiting for about half an hour, until he saw the people who went out of the city to inquire came back from afar, Yunli carefully climbed down the tree.
Pity.
She actually wanted to injure the man in black and keep him here. Unfortunately, there were too many trees in the forest, and there were always obstacles. When the man came out of the forest, he was so fast that there was no good opportunity to attack him.
So I let him go.
When they returned to the base, they saw everyone chattering about something. Yunli approached Aunt Fang and asked, "Aunt, is there any news?"
Aunt Fang's face was full of smiles and sorrow, and she looked a little distorted. "Xiao Li, they said that there is a whole river at the gate of Lishui City!"
"Really?" Yunli showed a surprised expression on his face at the right time, "Then can we stay here?"
Aunt Fang was stunned when she heard this and sighed, "How can it be that easy? There is a river, but I heard from the disaster victims over there that the water in this river is seawater, it is salty and cannot be drunk directly."
Yunli was stunned. Is it so outrageous?
Who came up with the idea of bringing seawater inland? The land has been eroded by seawater for a long time, so it will probably become salinized? And the manpower required to fill a whole moat with seawater...
"What's the use of bringing this water here?"
"You can use it for washing. If you don't mind the bitterness or saltiness, you can drink some. But they say that the more you drink, the thirstier you become." Aunt Fang waved her hand. "It's so hot, soaking in the water will help you feel cooler."
That's true, Yunli nodded, but, "Auntie, why are you all so sad?"
"The granaries of our Great Chu State have been burned down again." Speaking of this, Aunt Fang sighed with distress, "I don't know about other places, but the granaries in our Bingzhou and Fuzhou have all been burned down! I heard that you can enter Lishui City during the day, but things are ridiculously expensive. Even if we can settle down in Bingzhou, I'm afraid we can't afford rice! What a sin! So much food! This year is another disaster year with no harvest, how can we survive in the future!"
Aunt Fang didn't say much, thinking that the children in Yunli were too young to understand the worries of adults.
In fact, the burning of large-scale granaries during the disaster years had already shaken the foundation of the country.
The country does not have enough grain reserves and is unable to provide comprehensive disaster relief, so a large number of victims will inevitably starve to death. This is the first level of disaster.
The second layer is the bodies of the victims. If they are not handled properly, it will cause a plague. The mortality rate of ancient plagues was extremely high. In the well-known plague incidents, most of the outcomes were that the infected people were wiped out.
Even if you can successfully pass these difficulties, there is still the third level, the next year's taxes waiting.
If a disaster occurs during a war, and the soldiers have no food reserves, there is a high probability that the country will be destroyed.
For example, when a certain emperor ascended the throne, he was ambitious and even tried his best to clean up the mess left by his ancestors. However, due to natural disasters year after year, the people could not survive, which triggered a large number of peasant uprisings, and finally the neighboring country took advantage of the opportunity.
At that time, granaries had not yet been burned on a large scale.
Hey.
It is always the common people who suffer.
Just as she was sighing, the escort came over and said, "Miss Yun, the headmaster wants you to come over."
Aunt Fang quickly pushed her and said, "We can't keep the teacher waiting for too long. Xiaoli, go over there quickly."
Yunli said goodbye and followed the escort. The escort kept talking as he walked, "Miss Yun, it's still more than 20 days' journey from here to Wenshan Academy. The headmaster plans to recuperate in Lishui City for a while before returning. He said that he can't let his wife see him so sick..."
Yunli suddenly stopped and looked at the escort with a puzzled look.
No, is this something a decent person would say?
What is that old guy barking about?
Oh no, that's not the point. "Isn't there a shortage of water at Wenshan Academy?"
The escort nodded and said, "There is a waterfall on the mountain, and there is also a huge pool of water. I think it will never dry up."
Very good!
A look of joy appeared on Yunli's face.
"Then are the towns near Wenshan Academy also short of water?"
The escort thought for a while, "I haven't been back for a long time, so I'm not sure. But there is a huge lake two hundred miles north of Wenshan Academy. I think it won't dry up even in a drought."
"Taihu Lake?" Yunli thought of this lake first.
"It's called Liuhu. Legend has it that there was once a fairy girl... Later, in order to commemorate the fairy girl, she was named Liuhu."
Yunli rolled his eyes secretly.
These myths and legends have one thing in common, which is the domestication of women. No matter how powerful a fairy, a noble lady, or even a spinning top spirit, no, a snail spirit, or a female ghost, they will selflessly dedicate themselves to a scholar or a cowherd.
I don't want to listen to it at all.
If it is not a love between equals, it is called poverty alleviation, and it is targeted poverty alleviation.
Or Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is more suitable for these stories.
However, the escort spoke very vividly and seemed very happy and expectant, so Yunli would not pour cold water on him.
Fortunately, the road was very short and we arrived outside the mountain chief’s tent in an instant.
