"This is the nth time you've asked your mother to come over. I want to see why you never get enough to eat and always come to my house to steal food. If your family is poor, I'd rather have them sell you to me than let you starve to death..."
A fat woman in her thirties or forties with a thick face was yelling at a skinny girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The voice in front was particularly loud, and he started pushing the girl as he was talking.
But after she said a few words, probably because people around her were staring at her and pointing at her, she just said she wanted to hire someone.
The little girl didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and kept crying softly, while she cried she stubbornly let the tears flow down.
"Cry, you still have the nerve to cry, you stole food from my house and you haven't paid yet, you still have the nerve to cry, call your mother over, you have a mother who gave birth to you but didn't teach you..."
The woman saw many people pointing at her, she was so angry that she twisted the girl with her hands, causing the girl to look painful.
But she refused to look up at the people, looking like a bullied person. Hua Yueying on the other side couldn't stand it anymore, so she reached out and grabbed the hand of the woman who was about to hit her.
"What did this little girl eat from you? How much is it worth? I'll give it to you!"
"A big roast goose, worth one or two taels of silver, was eaten by her!"
The woman was indignant and put her hands on her waist and scolded the little girl, but she heard a jingling sound, the sound of copper coins falling to the ground.
"The roast goose here is clearly fifty copper coins each, where did you get one or two taels of silver? If you dare to blackmail me again, are you afraid that I will tear down your shop?"
While Hua Yueying was speaking, she stretched out her fist and gestured in front of the woman, which frightened the woman so much that she shut up immediately. Then she squatted on the ground, picked up the string of copper coins, and counted them deliberately.
It really is fifty copper coins.
Hua Yueying was just about to pat the little girl next to her, but she found that the little girl who was crying here just now was gone?
Is this a human?
It's really unbelievable that it disappeared without a sound. It seems like it's not worth spending my fifty copper coins.
Hua Yueying was a little unhappy, but Zhang Fan over there asked her to buy those pregnancy stones. She was in a bad mood, so she went over and bargained, and finally bought all the pregnancy stones on the vendor's stall with one or two taels of silver.
Moreover, each stone has a specially woven rope, which can be hung directly around the neck, and it looks very beautiful.
There were a lot of stones, about 100 to 200 in total. Zhang Fan watched Hua Yueying put all these things away, and then he transferred all the things back to the warehouse of Tiandi Pawnshop.
Then he went shopping with Zhang Fan.
But they had not walked far when Zhang Fan suddenly stopped. Hua Yueying, who was walking behind him, was not paying attention and almost bumped into him. She saw Zhang Fan's eyes fall on a certain place.
Then he pulled Hua Yueying to the side, and when they got there, they saw a figure leaving in a hurry.
That figure was the little girl they had just seen.
The little girl was holding a roast goose in her hand and was walking in a hurry. She didn't notice that she was being followed at all.
Roast goose?
Didn’t eat it?
Are you leaving in such a hurry?
Hua Yueying's curiosity was also aroused at this time, so she quickly followed Zhang Fan. The two of them watched the little girl walk through the alley and go in one direction. When they reached a dark place at night, the girl was nowhere to be seen.
"Over there, over there, follow me!"
Zhang Fan's eyesight was very good in the dark, and he directly pulled Hua Yueying to follow.
Strangely enough, the little girl, holding the roast chicken in her hand, walked faster and faster, and walked further and further away from the bustling towns, and in a blink of an eye she reached a mountain covered with weeds.
The moon in the sky is very big, but seeing a little girl like this walking in the wilderness always gives people a sense of unnaturalness.
The key point is that she was holding a roast chicken in her hand.
Zhang Fan did not stop and kept following the little girl. He didn't know how long he had been walking, but soon, the nimble little girl disappeared again on the mountain.
The place where she disappeared was a pile of rocks. The rocks were covered with plants like ivy, which covered the entire pile of rocks. Under the moonlight, only a patch of lush green leaves that looked like a carpet could be seen.
After Zhang Fan walked a few steps around the pile of rocks, he waved at Hua Yueying.
"The entrance is here. Let's go in and take a look..."
As he said this, he walked in first. He had nothing to be afraid of. In the Western Liang Kingdom of Women, a carp spirit could become a national teacher. Even if there were some monsters and demons left, they were nothing to worry about.
Zhang Fan walked straight towards a big rock. Who would have thought that there seemed to be no road ahead of the big rock? But as soon as he stepped into it, the surrounding environment changed completely.
A huge cave appeared inside.
Hua Yueying followed Zhang Fan into the cave.
In the palace of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, the hall was brightly lit. Almost all the important court officials of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom were present, with the King of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom sitting at the top.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the position of the imperial teacher next to His Majesty’s throne was not removed.
The ministers standing behind the queen were wearing various official uniforms, luxuriously and elegantly, but they were all girls. At this moment, they all looked extremely anxious, especially the prime minister who was in his forties and standing in the front.
"Your Majesty, the water in the Zimu River has dried up. I don't know what's going on, but almost no water has come down from the upper reaches. I have sent people to guard the Zimu River for a long time, but this won't do. Something bad will happen. If the Zimu River really dries up, our Daughters' Country will be destroyed..."
The Prime Minister has never been so excited as he is now.
How can I not be excited?
All the officials of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom knew how the Women's Kingdom transformed from a tiny village into such a prosperous country. Wasn't it because of the Zimu River?
Without the endless and inexhaustible water of the Zimu River, how could there be so many people in the Kingdom of Women?
How could they allow those in high positions to enjoy themselves as they please?
The Zimu River is related to the national destiny of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom. Without the Zimu River, the Xiliang Women's Kingdom will have no choice but to perish.
"The Prime Minister is right. The water of the Zimu River was sucked dry by a golden dragon. I heard that the immortal riding the golden dragon is also in the posthouse of our Xiliang Women's Kingdom. Your Majesty, you must find a way to impress the immortal and let him return the water of the Zimu River to us, otherwise the Women's Kingdom will perish..."
Other ministers at the bottom of the stairs also spoke, but a slightly older general was hesitating for a while, and suddenly she knelt down in front of the queen.
"Your Majesty, how did the Zimu River come about? Have you forgotten one thing? At the critical moment, you should have gone to find our backers..."
As soon as the general said this, the whole audience fell silent.
