Chapter 481: Boating
"No, only I can do it." Xu Yuan was speaking the truth. The range protected by the protective shield was under her control, so she could come and go freely.
"Okay." Gu Qinghan just felt it was a pity and had a look of loss on his face.
Xu Yuan glanced at Gu Qinghan and then looked away. They both knew what he was thinking.
"I'm leaving first." Xu Yuan let go of Gu Qinghan's sleeve, turned around and left.
"Ayuan, be careful." Gu Qinghan did not ask Xuyuan what she was going to do, but just reminded her to be careful.
The two didn't talk for long. When Gu Qinghan returned under the tree, three children were sitting in a row, staring at the direction where Gu Qinghan was coming, grinning with their teeth bared.
Gu Qinghan ignored their expressions, walked to the river bank, untied the rope of the bamboo raft, and got on the raft first, "Are you coming?"
"Come on, of course we have to come." Gu Qingming retracted his big teeth that were still baring in laughter and stood up suddenly.
After Gu Qingming, Xuanyu and Guozi were seated, Gu Qinghan began to paddle along the river. The weeds on the shore were dense and the breeze blew across the water, creating ripples.
"I'm here, I'm here."
Suddenly, a big bird flew over the river and flew towards the bamboo raft that Gu Qinghan was paddling. "Wuhei!" Gu Qingming heard Wuhei's voice and waved and shouted excitedly.
Gu Qinghan looked up and quickly stopped him, "Wuhei, throw away what you are holding."
"Ahhh! Wuhei, take it away now, don't come here."
When the black bird flew closer, Gu Qingming's waving hands turned into waving, his eyes became terrified, and he shouted.
I saw that the black claws were holding a long brown object that was still twisting wildly, as thick as an arm.
Xuanyu was protected by Guozi behind him. Guozi covered Xuanyu's eyes immediately. Xuanyu looked confused and knew nothing.
Although Guozi was also afraid, didn’t he still have Brother Gu? Even if the sky fell, there would always be a tall man to hold it up.
Gu Qinghan waved Gu Qingming's hand and stabilized the shaky bamboo raft.
"Qinghan, why is the bird you raise so ferocious? It's a poisonous snake!" The villagers who were rowing boats and casting nets around Gu Qinghan clicked their tongues, fearing that the poisonous snake would be thrown to their side, and quickly rowed the boat in the other direction.
After all, this bird is not only fierce, but also very vengeful. If it finds someone plotting against it, disgusting things will appear at those people's doorsteps the next day. They are either fat and big cabbage worms or dead poisonous toads. It's simply outrageous.
Wuhei didn't throw it away. What a joke! It had caught it with great difficulty, and the other party dared to set their sights on it. Wuhei was not someone to be trifled with.
Seeing that Gu Qingming was really scared and Gu Qinghan was still warning it, it had no choice but to fly around them, barked once, and then flew away.
"Brother, is this still our Wuhei? Why is he so ferocious?" Gu Qingming let out a breath with lingering fear.
Guozi also took away the hand covering Manyu's eyes. Manyu opened his big, confused eyes and asked curiously, "What happened? What did Wuhei do?"
"Hey, Xiaoduo, it's a good thing you didn't see it. Wuhei was coming towards us with a still twisting snake in his arms." Gu Qingming explained.
"Ah! Is Wuhei so brave?" Many people opened their mouths wide in amazement, and at the same time were glad that he didn't see it.
Children have a short memory, and Gu Qingming quickly forgot about Wuhei's sudden appearance. He stood up excitedly and looked at the big fish that suddenly jumped out of the water. It was a golden red carp, "Brother, big fish, what a beautiful fish."
"Sit down. We are here to see the scenery, not to catch fish." Gu Qinghan replied.
The river section here is some distance away from the village. Gu Qinghan has never been here. The river has become a channel that can only be traversed by one bamboo raft. There are many forks in the road, and the water flows very slowly. The water is crystal clear and icy cold, and the little fish underwater are swimming happily.
"Brother Gu, it's lotus." Many people shouted excitedly, pointing to the small pond in front.
The narrow river channel ended and the bamboo raft entered a small pond. The water surface was covered with lotus leaves and lotus pods, there were a few blooming lotus flowers, and a few frogs were jumping on the river.
Gu Qinghan rowed the bamboo raft close to a lotus flower. There were several lotus pods growing nearby. Gu Qinghan reached out and picked them all and handed them to Gu Qingming and the others.
"Thank you, Brother Gu." Xuanyu took a lotus flower and a lotus pod and examined them carefully.
"Brother, can the small fruits inside this lotus pod be eaten?" Gu Qingming had already broken open the lotus pod and taken out the lotus seeds inside, and asked curiously.
"Yes." Gu Qinghan nodded, took one and threw it into his mouth. It had a crisp texture and sweet taste.
"It's delicious. I'm going to pick some and bring them back for my elder sister, second sister, and Grandpa Wang to taste."
On one side, people were leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery and picking lotus flowers and lotus pods, while on the other side, the scene was quite different.
In the villages around Zhuangzhou City, thick smoke was billowing in the fine weather, and the blue-black smoke filled the sky and the earth.
Xu Yuan folded his arms and watched everything indifferently. When it was almost burned, he turned around and disappeared.
It was the same situation as in Heping Village. The village had been burned beyond recognition. Innocent villagers had died tragically. Some escaped, some died. Even livestock and poultry were not spared. Their bodies had all become shriveled.
Xu Yuan helped with the aftermath and earned 400,000 points. There were no officials guarding the nearby villages, and the villagers were just ordinary people with no fighting power. It was ordinary people like them who bore the brunt of this premeditated disaster.
She also saw that the various managers in Zhuangzhou City, Beicheng, and even Lin'an followed her instructions, but in fact they did not implement them in place. However, the chaotic scene was under control, which was better than being in chaos all the time. Once the "internal strife" was under control, Mengzu Jin would unite to face the outside world. Xu Yuan believed that this disaster against the Great Wei Dynasty would soon disappear.
However, the weather is still scorching hot at the moment, and so many corpses have not been properly handled. Don’t they know the consequences?
When we returned to Hsinchu Village, it was still early. We made a wish and led the good fortune out of the door and up the mountain.
As a result, on the road, we met Duo Yu, Guo Zi, and Gu Qingming and others who were jumping and holding lotus flowers and lotus pods.
Seeing what they were holding in their hands, Xuyuan thought of something else.
"Sister, we have brought back good things. These are the lotus seeds I peeled. Sister, please eat them." Xuanyu Chao Xuyuan shouted and ran towards her.
When Lai Fu saw that it was a good thing, he shouted at several people. If the rope had not been held by Xu Yuan, he would have pounced on it.
"Where did you get these?" Xu Yuan took many lotus seeds from people's hands. They were white and tender. She ate one and the flesh was crisp. She threw one to Lai Fu. Lai Fu opened his mouth and caught the lotus seed thrown to him, making a crisp sound.
