Xiye looked over the sound and saw that deep in the moss that was more than one meter high, Chen Yuliang stuck his head out, his hands facing each other, put them together at his mouth, and anxiously calling for help.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you?" Nishino shouted from a distance, but Chen Yuliang seemed to be unable to hear Nishino talking.

"Dear, do we want to go over and take a look?" Yu Shu hid the herbs in a mortar.

"That's all." Nishino picked up a wooden stick about two meters long by the stream, holding Yu Shu in one hand and holding a stick in the other hand to test it, and walked carefully on the path leading to the swamp.

When he arrived at the moss, Chen Yuliang was already lying on the ground, sweating profusely, and desperately grabbed the girl who was playing games along the way: "Zixuan, don't let go..."

"Dr. Chen, I don't want to die..." Zixuan looked at Chen Yuliang with a belated look.

There are water plants around the mud pool, which looks no different from the realm. If you don’t pay attention, you will fall into it. Zixuan accidentally fell into the mud pool when she went to catch the stone frog. The mud had reached her waist, and she was carrying a bag containing the stone frog in one hand.

"Don't make a pointless struggle, throw away the bag quickly." Xiye approached the mud, stretched the stick towards Zixuan, and instructed.

"There are more than a dozen stone frogs in the bag..." Zixuan couldn't bear to throw away the small woven bag in her hand.

"Is the stone frog important or life important?" Nishino was furious.

Zixuan grabbed the stick with both hands, Nishino and Chen Yuliang pulled hard by the quagmire pool, Yu Shu comforted Zixuan not to be nervous, time passed by in seconds.

The stick was a little muddy and was a little slippery. Xiye pulled it hard and Zixuan couldn't grasp it. The stick suddenly broke with a "click". Xiye held half of the stick with a wormhole in her hand, took a few steps back, fell to the ground, pressing against Chen Yuliang, while Zixuan was still in the mud, and the mud had reached her armpit.

"You can't save people like this." Lao Yi came over with a hunting rifle and a circle of ropes on his back.

"Lao Yi, you are so old, please help us!" Chen Yuliang got up from the ground, extremely anxious.

"Fortunately, the mud has not crossed her shoulders, otherwise the gods would not be able to save her." Lao Yi put down his hunting rifle, took off the rope, folded it into two strands, tied a knot, and threw it into the mud with a shout. The rope fell down unbiasedly, completely surrounding Zixuan's shoulders.

"Girl, don't be afraid. You should pull the rope down a little, tie it around your waist, and tie it tightly." Lao Yi said calmly.

"Yes." Zixuan tied the rope as Lao Yi said.

"Are you ready, little girl?" Lao Yi tried to pull the rope and said to Nishino, "Come here and hang the rope on that tree."

"Okay." Nishino took the other end of the rope and circled the tree several times, tied it tightly to the trunk, and asked, "Lao Yi, why don't you pull her up directly?"

"We can save more effort by tied the rope to the tree, so that the girl will be able to rescue it more easily. I will rescue people who fall into the mud occasionally by this method." Lao Yi grabbed a rope, "We are divided into two groups. The little brother wearing glasses, come to my side."

"Okay." Chen Yuliang moved closer to Lao Yi.

"One, two, three - Come on!" everyone shouted in unison.

The four of them tried hard together, and soon Zixuan, who was covered in mud, was pulled to the edge of the mud. Yu Shu put down the rope and ran towards Zixuan.

"Don't come here, sister--" Zixuan shouted in dismay.

When Yu Shu heard the shout, she stopped quickly and felt that the ground under one foot was soft. If she took a step forward, she would fall into the mud. She was so scared that she patted her chest and did not dare to reach out to pull Zixuan's hand.

"Let's use another force-" Lao Yi said. So several people pulled it hard, and Zixuan finally came up, standing on the meadow, covered in black and exuding an unpleasant stench.

"Uncle Yi, Director Chen, General Secretary Xi, Sister Yu Shu, thank you." Zixuan trembled all over, and her teeth were biting, "My phone... has fallen into the mud..."

"Zi Xuan, you can buy it if your phone is dropped. Your life is gone, but you can't buy it back." Nishino was convinced by Zi Xuan.

"Damn the stone frog... I almost lost my life..." Zi Xuan kept removing the sludge from her body with both hands.

"Girl, have you brought clean clothes?" Lao Yi asked.

"Take it, it's in the car." Zixuan replied.

"Then come with Yushu to Lianhua Village and take a hot shower, so you won't catch a cold." Lao Yi put away the rope and the hunting rifle, "Xiao Chen, go to the car to get your clothes."

"Yes." Chen Yuliang walked along the path to the parking place.

After a while, the clothes were taken back, and only Nishino was still looking for something by the mud.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Chen Yuliang approached Nishino and asked.

"Dr. Chen, how did Zixuan fall into the mud?"

Chen Yuliang recalled: "When she was catching a stone frog, the stone frog jumped forward, stepped onto the air, and slipped into the mud... I didn't notice it, and it seemed to be rolling down."

"Oh. Do you know, there is a thousand-year-old ebony in this mud. If we can find one, we will send it."

"A stinky water pool, where does ebony come from this mud?"

"Mr. Chen, do you know who opened the fertile fields in the Lotus Basin?"

"It is said that a fairy couple took a fairy cow and drove it away. Later, the fairy cow was frightened and ran away. People tried their best to intercept it. There are several places in the Black Mountain area that are related to the fairy cow."

"Myths and legends are not enough. When Qin Emperor conquered Baiyue in the south, due to poor food and grass, 100,000 Qin troops were stationed on the surrounding mountains of hundreds of square kilometers and carried out large-scale land reclamation and farming, which led to this endless fertile field. Look--" Xiye pointed to several wide areas that were suspected to be farmland ridges and drainage ditches. "The surrounding farmland plus here is more than 100,000 acres."

"I also heard that there was a real dragon spirit here, and an emperor appeared. This person was named Zhao Tuo, and he led the reclaiming army. However, Zhao Tuo was not the emperor at that time, but was just the deputy general of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops. After pacifying the Xiou tribe, Zhao Tuo became the magistrate of Longchuan County.

In the late Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo took over the position of Nanhaiwei, blocked all the major transportation routes in the north and the Central Plains in Lingnan, replaced the Qin Dynasty officials who refused to obey orders, continued to expand their territory, and extended his power to the current Vietnam."

"Isn't it the Nanyue Martial Emperor?"

"Yes. Zhao Tuo established the Kingdom of Nanyue and became the emperor for 67 years. He lived to be 103 years old and died of old age during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han."

"Why are there no records in our S City's local chronicles?"

"There are some in "Huainanzi" and "Records of the Grand Historian". The county was established in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally there is no written record."...

After leaving the mud, Xiye and Chen Yuliang walked and looked at them. They were surprised to find that the bushes and short trees here had obvious dividing lines, just like the artificially cultivated bonsai in the park.

After walking along the forest path for more than ten minutes, I vaguely heard the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs, but I couldn't see people. Xiye took the wrong path and mistakenly entered a thorny bush and screamed: "Mr. Chen, I saw a white house."

"I saw it too. There is a small path here. Come here." Chen Yuliang waved.

Xiye withdrew from the thorn bushes and stood under a tree for a while: "Mr. Chen, come and see, the roots of this tree are so curious!"

Chen Yuliang lit a cigarette and came over: "Isn't it just the root of a tree? What's so good about it?"

When he walked in and squatted down, he was stunned. The roots of the tree were like five open dragon claws, covered with moss, which he had never seen before. He took out his cell phone and took several photos in succession.

"Mr. Chen, this is the legendary five-clawed golden dragon, it's rare to see it." Nishino was very excited, "You record a video and send it to me."

"Okay." Chen Yuliang took a photo upward and downward, and explained while shooting. He looked decent and quite professional.

After appreciating the "five-clawed Golden Dragon", the two walked dozens of steps. A towering tree stood in front of them by the stream, with mixed roots and cloudy days covering the sun. The area should be more than 200 square meters. Chen Yuliang and Nishiye stretched out their arms and hugged each other, which was not enough to be one-third of the tree's breasts.

"People call this tree the top scholar tree. Anyone who visits this tree will take the college entrance examination next year, and the officials will be successful in doing business. If you want marriage, you will find the best man, and the men will find the wife Wangxiang..." Chen Yuliang closed his eyes, clasped his hands and made a wish.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, why are you so superstitious?" Nishino took the opportunity to take a photo of Chen Yuliang.

"Brother, this is not superstition, it is a custom. Do you know the unique customs of the Miao people?" Chen Yuliang said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, what wish did you make just now? Do you want to have a lot of luck in love?"

"If I don't tell you, it won't work if it says it."

"I know what you are thinking if you don't say it. Since you don't want to say it, you won't force it."

"Let's go to that house to see if Zixuan has changed her clothes?" Chen Yuliang put his hand on Nishino's shoulder and said inexplicably, "For the sake of roses, we must water the thorns. In this highly competitive society, if you want to stand out, achieve something, and let your life bloom beautiful flowers, you must hold back the momentum, hold back the thorns that are stuck in your heart, and turn them into motivation to move forward, so that you can succeed."

"Mr. Chen, you are nagging. Honestly, do you and Zixuan have that meaning?"

"I dare not have any inappropriate thoughts. I am a little girl. I just met with carpooling."

"There is no best. I'm so upset, one Yu Shu, the other Li Yu..."

"Li Yu is the vice president of S City, a beautiful woman. If you look at you, that's a good thing... I want to run an ecological farm, but I don't have funds, so I'm worried that I can't have anything to do with her!"

"Mr. Chen, if a woman really sticks to you, endless troubles will come."

"I can't ask for it."

"It's hard to come by, everything is not as simple as you think. I accidentally hurt Li Yu, and this project to invest in mineral water is very likely to be ruined." Nishino broke and blocked a thorn on the road.
