Pig Killer

Chapter 313

"If we go along the Yellow River, we will also have to rely on water for our livelihood!" Huang Zhongchang said to his wife with amusement.

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e said calmly.

"How do we catch this fish?" Huang Zhongchang said worriedly, "This Yellow River is not our small river, the Yellow River is much bigger!" He frowned slightly and said, "There's water in the sky." He shuddered and said, "It's cold!" Suddenly he remembered, "Is the Yellow River turbulent? Is the water flowing fast?"

"When we reach the plains, the water flows slowly, and there are no strong winds or rough waves." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her ink-black eyes.

"It's easy to expose ourselves in the open area beside the Yellow River. How can so many of us cross the river?" Huang Zhongchang said worriedly.

"The water flow here is stable. The Yellow River is so long that they can't defend against it." Shen Hui'e looked at her calmly and said, "There are boats on the shore. We just need to pay to cross the river!" She chuckled and said, "If it doesn't work, we can swim across."

"Swim across? This is the Yellow River?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in shock and said, "It's not the small river in my hometown, nor is it the moat. It's only a few feet wide. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Lie down on the water and float downstream. It's not hard at all." Shen Hui'e said simply and easily, "Find a place where the river surface is flat and narrow."

"Where's the luggage? Where are the iron pot and the tent?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her unhappily, feeling that she was so unreliable.

"So we need a boat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Money makes the world go round. We don't lack this little money for crossing the river."

"The road ahead is wider." someone in the team exclaimed.

"We're almost out of the Grand Canyon." Shen Hui'e looked around and exclaimed in admiration at the wonders of nature.

"There's nothing to see in this mountain." Huang Zhongchang said with disdain, "This road is really hard to walk on. It wears out your shoes."

What a guy who doesn't know how to appreciate, Shen Hui'e complained in her heart.

"You don't agree!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her intently, and any change on her face could not escape his eyes.

"I agree. You can't ride horses in the mountains. It's better to come to the plains where you can farm." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said.

"You're obsessed with farming." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.

"Farming is good! You don't like it." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said.

"I like it!" Huang Zhongchang nodded and said, "It would be great if this mountain could also be turned into a plain."

"It's better not to. Without the blockage of the mountains, the cold wind will blow and you will all freeze to death." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as clear as water.

"Ah!" Huang Zhongchang blinked his dark eyes when he heard this, "I really haven't thought about it."

"With the barrier of 800 miles of Qinchuan, Sichuan can become a granary and a land of abundance." Shen Hui'e said as she walked.

"So that's how it is!" Huang Zhongchang suddenly realized, and then said, "I haven't thought about it before!"

"All the mountains, rivers and terrain are arranged by God." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"But some places are too bad." Huang Zhongchang curled his lips in disdain.

"Transformation!" The big tiger looked at him with eyes like black glass.

"It was people from generation to generation who made the changes." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark, bright eyes and said, "For example, the laborers repaired the canals and rivers."

Huang Zhongchang stared at them with his bright black eyes wide open.

"Why are you so surprised?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes.

"I'm afraid I'll be opposed to doing corvée labor." Huang Zhongchang swallowed his saliva and said, "When we talk about corvée labor, we mean building the imperial mausoleum and the palace, which is a waste of money and labor."

"Building water conservancy projects and turning land into fertile fields also requires laborers." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear and bright black eyes and said, "As long as you make it clear that this is for good irrigation and drainage, the common people will do it for themselves." Her shiny black eyes sparkled as she said, "Plant more land and produce more food, and the farmers will be happy to do labor service."

"Yes! It's different if you work for yourself." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile when he heard it.

"Yes! Are you proactive in building a house for yourself?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with her bright dark eyes.

"That's definitely positive." Huang Zhongchang smiled and said, "He even called on relatives and friends to help."

"This is different in nature." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Even if it is to build an imperial mausoleum or a palace, as long as the money is sufficient and the food and accommodation conditions are the same as our barracks, no one will refuse."

"This?" Huang Zhongchang smacked his lips and said, "It's hard to say. If there's money to be made, everyone would be happy." He pursed his lips and looked at her and said, "The key is how much money it will cost! Hundreds of thousands, millions of civilians." He shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that you need money to do anything!"

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e said with clear eyes, "A penny can make a hero fail, and the same is true for the court." She narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her hand, saying, "Pass forward, pass back, stop immediately, and wait where you are."

"Yes!" The soldiers in front and behind began to pass on orders.

"What's wrong?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her nervously.

"We are about to leave the mountain. I'll go take a look ahead." Shen Hui'e said with her gentle eyes to soothe him nervously.

"Huh!" Huang Zhongchang let out a long breath, "Except for the mountainous areas, this stretch of land is flat and the Central Plains is full of granaries. Could there be heavy troops here?"

"That's for sure. The most important Xingyang granary is in the Central Plains." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and said, "I just don't know which force it is."

"No matter which force it is, let's go around it and head straight to the Yu family." Huang Zhongchang said without thinking, "We are outnumbered and should not act rashly, as this will easily expose our whereabouts."

"Wait until I come back from my investigation!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes.

"Hey, hey! Calm down and don't be impulsive." Huang Zhongchang grabbed her arm and said anxiously.

"Don't worry! I won't joke with my life or yours." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, then she put away the smile on her face and said seriously, "Check their background, okay?"

"An important military location..." Huang Zhongchang couldn't continue under her gentle gaze.

"Why don't you say anything?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile.

"This important military base has no impact on you. You can feel like you are in an empty space." Huang Zhongchang said with conviction.

"Mother, mother, if they are government troops, how can we move on the plains?" the tiger said nervously, "If we show our heads, we will be exposed."

"It's a night trip!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear eyes and said, "I'll pack up and leave. You guys rest where you are and don't light a fire."

"I understand, I understand." Huang Zhongchang patted his waist and said, "There are also dried meat and dry biscuits here! They can fill my stomach."

"Then I'll leave." Shen Hui'e left them, found the general leading the team and asked him to be alert, then disappeared from the soldiers' sight.
