It is understandable that the big hunter knew there was a water source in the deep mountains, but how could this weak woman know that?
"Someone, drag him out." Lan An's face was cold, and he almost instantly concluded that these two people had other intentions.
Autocratic and domineering!
The brother and sister were terrified. The big guy put his sister behind him and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Prince, I really didn't lie to you. Please ask someone around my home. My ancestors have been hunters for three generations."
Chu Qiuze tugged at Lan An's sleeve and said, "My Lord, you are too suspicious. You want to throw someone out before they even finish their words."
Lan An still had a sullen look on his face, but he waved his hand and asked the guards to leave.
"Now tell me!" Chu Qiuze began to ask: "How did your sister know the source of water in the deep mountains?"
Although he had good intentions, he was not a saint, and he did not think that such a thin girl could go into the mountains alone. However, even if these two people had other intentions, he would at least examine them first.
Judging from the big guy's physique, Chu Qiu Ze should have some kung fu skills, but he was not willing to fight for power. In front of absolute power, he was still humble and humble.
The big guy didn't care about that anymore, he knelt on the ground and crawled to Chu Qiuze's side: "My dear, I saw it with my own eyes. Although I don't remember the exact way, I still remember the general direction."
Chu Qiuze looked at the girl behind the big guy again, "Girl, tell me in detail. If there is anything hidden, I can't protect you. You have all seen it. The prince put a knife to my neck before."
As soon as the words fell, several people's eyes fell on Lan An.
Blue Gum: “…”
The woman was about 17 or 18 years old. She looked weak but her eyes were determined. She crawled out from behind her brother and knelt on the ground. "Can you please ask my male god to send the others away first?"
"Sister, you can't tell me!" The big guy looked heartbroken and wanted to grab his sister and run out.
"Brother." The woman held her brother's arm and said, "What difference does it make whether you tell me or not?"
Everyone present understood that there was probably something unspeakable going on.
Lan An gave a look and everyone left, leaving only Chen Chuzhi and Chu Qiuze.
"You can tell me now." Lan'an's cold face was really intimidating.
The woman bit her lip, her eyes filled with despair: "A few months ago, I went up the mountain with my brother, hoping to find some wild vegetables, but... the result was..."
The woman tried hard to hold back her tears, but still managed to speak out: "My brother and I encountered bandits. My brother couldn't defeat them alone, so I was kidnapped by them. Later, it was the prince who led his troops to suppress the bandits half a month ago and rescued me and my other sisters."
So that's how it is. Lan An finally remembered that this incident happened. His arm was also injured in that incident. No wonder this woman looked familiar to him at first.
In ancient times, it is hard to imagine what kind of cruel and inhumane things a woman would experience if she was kidnapped by bandits.
"Sorry." Chu Qiuze didn't expect this to happen. "You did a great job. It's not your fault."
There were differences in the eyes of the brother and sister. Since she was rescued, some felt sympathy for her, but most of them despised her. Even the marriage that had been arranged was canceled.
In this era, once a woman lost her virginity, regardless of whether it was her fault or not, she would be considered dirty in the eyes of outsiders. If she was not put in a pig cage, she would be sent to a nunnery to accompany the green lamp forever.
No one ever told her it wasn't her fault.
The woman could no longer hide her tears. She choked up as she continued to talk about how she found the water source: "I ran away once. I was afraid they would catch me down the mountain, so I ran deep into the mountains. I wandered around for two days and then I saw the lake."
"I originally wanted to live near the water source for a few days and then sneak down the mountain to go home, but I was found by bandits anyway." The woman stuttered and finally spoke clearly.
Chu Qiu Ze was a warm-hearted man. He carefully comforted the heartbroken woman and waited until she felt better before continuing with the next question.
"How big is that lake?"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "From where I was, I could only see part of the lake. The rest was blocked by the valley. The part I could see was about 20 acres."
Twenty acres of land is only what is visible. I don’t know what the geographical environment of the Yuhook Mountains is like. There may be underground rivers in the deep mountains.
"That's enough, host." Xiao En was also a little excited: "Such a large water source is enough to bring rain to the entire disaster-stricken area. When the time comes, you can spread the news that you successfully prayed for rain, and then you can collect a lot of gratitude points."
Chu Qiuze was also very excited: "Girl, are you willing to lead the way for us?"
"I'm willing." The woman smiled blushingly. This man is so gentle.
The big guy also quickly climbed forward: "My god, my lord, I want to go too. I have a lot of experience in mountains. I once went into the mountains alone for a month and came out unscathed."
He was eager to promote himself, fearing that his sister would accidentally offend these dignitaries, "I have also hunted blind bears, and they are very strong."
The three of them discussed it and decided to find a few people who were familiar with the mountain roads to go on the journey together. The lives of the people must be protected before they will be willing to risk their lives for you, so if they bring a team of guards with them, there shouldn't be any accidents.
"Go back and prepare." Chen Chuzhi thought the brother and sister were reliable. "We will set out in five days."
After agreeing on a time, Chu Qiuze didn't let the two siblings leave. "Girl, are you a local?"
"To reply to the male god, my ancestors have been from Yugou County for generations." The little girl was too embarrassed to look directly at the holy male god.
Chu Qiuze nodded, "Then take me around the county!"
Although the little girl didn't understand what was so interesting about visiting this dilapidated county town, she still called her brother to go out with her.
For several days in a row, Chu Qiu Ze was busy with disaster relief and flirting with the prince, and he really didn't come here for a long time.
There is a reason why he wants the little girl to lead the way this time. The little girl has a bad reputation now, and she might have a hard time in the future. If she goes out for a stroll with this male god now, her reputation will probably be much better.
Moreover, he needed to understand the local customs and the main livelihood of the people in the county, and he could not rely on the high and mighty prince who had plenty of money for these.
After strolling around for an afternoon, Chu Qiuze gained a new understanding of the world and waved goodbye to the two siblings to go home.
The brother and sister both breathed a sigh of relief. Although this man was approachable, he was not on the same level after all. They were both trembling with fear the whole afternoon.
But the next morning, when the brother and sister went out, the neighbors looked at them differently, with envy and joy. A matchmaker even came to ask if she had any plans to get married.
The brother and sister immediately understood why the male god asked them to go to densely populated areas. They were immediately moved to tears and decided to build a shrine for Chu Qiu Ze at home.
As the two reminder sounds of gratitude points being collected sounded, Chu Qiuze curled the corners of his mouth.
He was alone, and that was all he could do for the little girl.
"What are you laughing at?" Lan An watched him changing her bandages. Why did she start laughing while doing that?
It doesn't look like he's taking pleasure in other's misfortune!
"It's okay. I suddenly remembered something good." Chu Qiuze changed the medicine quickly, then took out a piece of paper and wrote densely on it.
Lan An didn't answer, "What is this?"
"Cement recipe." Chu Qiuze looked yesterday and found that only a few main roads in the county were stone slabs, while the rest were all dirt roads, and the slightly better ones were just gravel roads.
Anyway, he downloaded the cement formula from Baidu, and he doesn't have to do any work himself. He can gain some fame and earn some gratitude points. When he builds roads all over the country, the value will definitely be considerable.
Chu Qiuze guessed that this ancient man didn't know what cement was, so he explained: "When you went to my... fairyland warehouse to move things, you saw that my house was different from yours, right? That's because it was made of reinforced concrete."
Lan An's pupils trembled slightly. It was obvious that this cement house was precious. If all the people could live in a house built of cement...
In the past few years, his elder brother's health has been deteriorating and he has not been in charge of affairs. Now he has been assisting the crown prince. However, the crown prince's mother's family is weak and many court officials are dissatisfied. They want to appoint the empress's second son as the heir.
Originally, he had no ambition for the throne, it didn't matter who was the emperor. However, the empress's second son was only five years old, and he didn't want to take care of the child, so now he supported the prince's party.
If this cement is donated, the prince's position will be more consolidated.
"Are you touched?" Chu Qiuze started to tease again: "If you are touched, just let out a nice cry for me to hear."
Even the current emperor has never called himself master to him. Lan An felt helpless and angry. Has this man always been so disrespectful?
Regardless of status or age, he is older than this male god.
Just when Chu Qiuze thought Lan An would remain silent again, a charming and deep voice of "male god" belonging to an adult man came into his ears and went straight to his brain nerves.
He had a cranial orgasm instantly.
He couldn't stand it. Wasn't he the one who started the flirting? He had never realized that he was a voice control.
He rubbed his red ears and said, "You should have all the materials in this recipe. This cement can not only be used to build houses, but also roads."
Then he complained, "The roads here are too bad. When the wind blows, they are covered with dust."
"The Imperial City will be much better." Lan An wanted to save some face for his country. "Let's go and see it when we have the chance."
Chu Qiuze nodded in agreement. He had to go to the imperial city sooner or later.
Once the problem here is solved, he will have to follow Lan An. He must cure the handsome prince's suspicion.
Don’t even think about asking him to give up such an incredible level of gratitude.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the top of Blue Eucalyptus' head again. The row of red numbers and exclamation marks had never changed.
As long as Blue Gum wants to thank him, it will be shown once.
I can see it but I can’t take it. Damn it!!!
Lan An couldn't avoid his gaze and turned around to look at him.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he saw a look of disappointment in Cai Chuqiuze's eyes!
