Chapter 210 After 98 months (1)
Spring goes and autumn comes, and February has arrived.

Everything recovers, but before the rain god arrives, it is already dry, and the water in the river is almost bottoming out.

Li Ran looked worriedly at the river that was about to dry up, and frowned: "Uncle Wu, have you dug the water source in the mountain?"

"It's almost done. The yard has been built and the tunnel has been tidied up." Uncle Wu who was standing behind replied.

Last September, Li Ran took Uncle Wu and others into the mountains to find water sources. After walking for a day into the deep mountains, they found a large natural lake with a size of two acres. Li Ran speculated that the water of the waterfall came from here.There is about two acres of flat land next to it, surrounded by mountains, and there is only a stone wall passage to enter.

Li Ran liked this place very much after seeing it, so Li Ran asked Uncle Wu to secretly lead someone to cut down all the trees on the flat ground, and began to build a house. The floor is paved with wood, and two rows of workers' houses were built near the foot of the mountain, enough for hundreds of people to live. The first floor is a collective dormitory for single people, and the second floor is for families.

Because he was worried that wild animals would enter, Li Ran asked Wu Shan to build a wall around it, leaving only a door at the exit.

Later, a well was dug in it, and a passage was dug. After several months, the place where the grain was stored was finally dug, and the tunnel was tidied up, enough for two people to pass in parallel. The time has come.

"That's good, all the food is put away?" Li Ran looked at the river, a little helpless, it seems that this year is really difficult.

"It's all ready, enough to feed 500 people for ten years." Wu Shan reported that there is no land in the mountains, so he can only grow some small vegetables by the lake: "Madam, the dry goods are also ready, but there are no fresh vegetables."

"That can't be helped. The vegetables in our greenhouse are only enough to supply the restaurant now." Li Ran sighed, "Have you notified the restaurant to stock up?"

"The notice has arrived. Every restaurant has stocked up, and a lot has been stored in the village, and underground passages and warehouses have been dug. Now there are fewer fresh vegetables, and the prices of restaurants have also increased a lot." Wu Shan said.

"Well, good." Li Ran paused: "I don't know where Li Heng is. It's so dry now, and I don't know if it's going well."

"Young Master Li was in the Western Regions last time. The manager of the barbecue restaurant also informed them about the drought and asked them to come back as soon as possible. They will participate in the recruitment test in the second half of the year. Young Master Li should come back in time." Wu Shan replied.

Li Ran nodded, looking at the seedlings in the rice field in the distance, they were all yellow and dry, it hurts to think about it.

I don't know when Su Bai will come back.

"Ma'am, there is one more thing." Wu Shan thought for a while and said.

"What's the matter?" Li Ran recovered.

"It happened last night. Li Hua sneaked into the soy sauce shop last night and was caught by He Ajiu and the others, and arsenic was found on him." Wu Shan continued: "A few days ago we discovered that he was in the county town with a bandit. The men wearing bamboo hats met in teahouses, and then went to gambling brothels for a while, and then returned to the village and waited for an opportunity to enter the sauce shop.”

"Bamboo hat?" Something flashed through Li Ran's mind, but she couldn't remember it. "and then?"

"The man with the bamboo hat went directly to an inn and didn't come out. When we found out, the family left. But fortunately, the waiter in the teahouse overheard Li Hua calling that man Master Ouyang." Wu Shan looked at Li Ran's face. Expression, finished speaking.

"Really? Master Ouyang? Arsenic? Restaurant? Bamboo hat?" Li Ran was a little confused. Is the person in the bamboo hat from Ouyang's family?Or just a coincidence?
