Chapter 40: Investigating the cause of the plague

Jiang Chen first went to the well that the villagers ate to take a look. Last night, he guessed that it was not the reason for the well, so he still didn't feel at ease to come and see it.

Under the leadership of A Xiu, Jiang Chen came to this well where everyone in the village ate.

Jiang Chen brought a bucket of water to him. The water looked very clear and there was no dirt in the well water.

There was no problem found here on the Shuijing, so Jiang Chen asked Axiu to take him around the village.

A Xiu was misunderstood by the villagers and accompanied Jiang Chen without a smile on his face. In ancient times, women valued fame very much, unless they were children of the world, some of them would not care about secular vision when doing things.

Jiang Chen and Axiu visited the entire village. Although the houses in this village were not very good, the hygiene in the village was not bad either.

Is it really a mosquito bite?

Jiang Chen is still investigating the cause of the plague.

On the other hand, several palace maids from Yihua Palace lost Jiang Chen and the others halfway last night.

It turned out that they rode their horses to a Y-shaped intersection. They thought Jiang Chen would choose the easy way to go. They didn't expect that Jiang Chen was practicing immediately, closing his eyes and letting the horse take him.

So they chased after them all night, and were trapped in the horses. Not only could they not bear it, but they could not even bear it.

"Aru, you said we chased after us for a day and a night, why haven't we caught up yet?"

"In theory, we should have been chasing us long ago if we didn't dare to rest for a moment."

"Yes, don't you need to rest from others or horses?"

…………

Several people were puzzled.

"You guys think it's because we chose the wrong way and lost it."

"No, this road is so easy to walk on, only a fool chooses that broken road."

Fool! Everyone became more and more unsure of Jiang Chen's usual surprise and behavior.

"I see Xiaolan is right. He really has the possibility of going that way."

"Even if we know he is taking another path, we and the horse are very difficult now and we really can't hold on."

"We will find a grassland for the horse to fill, and we will take the opportunity to rest."

Everyone agreed, and in this case, there is no other choice.

Although the girls were martial arts practitioners, they had been running around for a long time, after eating, lying on the grass, sleeping one by one.

As noon approached, Jiang Chen still did not find out the cause of the plague.

"The young master's house has no vegetables, so I'll go to the vegetable field to pick some."

Jiang Chen saw that others raised chickens or rabbits at home, but Ah Xiu’s family didn’t raise anything, but her family clearly had a chicken coop.

"Why don't you raise some chickens?"

"Support it. My mother is sick and sold to her for medical treatment."

I see.

It is indeed difficult for mother and daughter to depend on each other and there is no strong labor at home.

Anyway, he was idle, so Jiang Chen accompanied her to the fields for a walk.

The two of them came to the field. Many families planted radishes in this field, but the radishes did not grow well, and it was obvious that they were not fertilized enough.

Axiu went to pull the radish, and Jiang Chen stood in the distance and looked at the vast field.

This series of fields share a canal. The so-called canal is to dig a ditch to bring in water, which makes it more convenient for villagers to irrigate.

Jiang Chen came to the irrigation canal and found that the water in the ditch was still very clear.

"Can the water in Axiu drink in this canal?"

"Of course I can drink it. The villagers in this field will catch water and drink it when they are thirsty."

Hearing A Xiu's words, Jiang Chen's head flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he seemed to have grabbed something.

"Who is the land in Axiu? Are there any dead people in their family?"

"This land belongs to Uncle Cai's family, and his daughter-in-law is dead."

"That piece is from Uncle Shui's house, Uncle Shui is dead."

…………

The more Ah Xiu spoke, the more shocked she found that the land near this canal, the owner of the land was killed by the plague, and the fields in the north were not irrigated by this canal, and no one in the house was killed by the plague.

"What the hell is going on with your son?"

A Xiu looked terrified.

"You are now informing the villagers to gather here. I think I already know the reason."

"Um."

Jiang Chen guessed that the plague had a direct relationship with the canal.

After two cups of tea, all the villagers arrived.

The originally quiet fields immediately became noisy.

"A Xiu, you called us here and said that there are very important things to say, what exactly is it."

"Yes, Ah Xiu, my dad hasn't passed the first seventh day, and this funeral has to be processed."

"Why do you want to come here?"

…………

The villagers questioned Ah Xiu with a word, and Ah Xiu looked surprised. She looked at Jiang Chen with her eyes and asked him for help.

"Please be quiet, everyone!"

Jiang Chen started to yell with his true energy, and the sound was like a bell. The person who was still talking immediately shut his mouth and looked at him strangely.

"I'm going to invite everyone here to do this plague."

When they heard that it was related to this plague, everyone widened their eyes and listened carefully.

"This plague is related to this canal."

"What are you kidding? This canal has been around for hundreds of years, and we have never had any problems with it to irrigate and drink it."

"Yes, what's wrong with this canal."

"Who are you and why are you in our village?"

"And you, the guy who destroys Ah Xiu's reputation, can you believe what you say?"

…………

"Shut up all of them."

Jiang Chen's dantian luck, the sound is like a wave, covering all sounds instantly.

Everyone was shocked by Jiang Chen. These honest farmers were all honest farmers. Although they were thoughtful and cunning, their nature was still pure.

"Axiu, please tell everyone what you just said."

A Xiu and Jiang Chen nodded.

Next, Axiu killed anyone in the owners of these lands.

The more you listened, the more you became more frightened. It was not that the owner of the land north had no plague, so why are there only the land here?

"Old Niu, isn't your wife not dead after the plague? Go and ask if he has drunk water from the canal."

"I'll go back and ask."

After Lao Niu left, everyone looked heavy and waited for Lao Niu to make news.

After two cups of tea, Lao Niu is back.

"How about Lao Niu? What did your wife say?"

"She said she worked in this field yesterday and did drink water from the canal."

When everyone heard Lao Niu's words, they believed that the plague was caused by this canal.

"This canal has been around for hundreds of years. Why is it okay before? Something happened in the past few days."

"Yes, what the hell is going on."

"Did you provoke ghosts and gods? Ghosts and gods have brought down the plague and punished us?"

…………

Everyone said everything, and the more they said it, the more mysterious it became. Finally, everyone turned their attention to Jiang Chen.

"If you want to know what's going on with this water, you have to pursue the roots and source. Where does the water from this canal flow in? We will definitely find something along the canal."

Under the leadership of a villager, the whole village followed the two of them to find the culprit.
