"It's steaming? How come the spring is steaming?" His companion asked in surprise, and Shen Yue on the side also wondered for a moment.
The man seemed to have gone to see it and explained, "You don't know yet? The water coming out of the spring is not ordinary water, but hot water."
"Hot water? How hot? Is the fish that comes out dead or alive?'
"When I came here two days ago, the fish were still alive and kicking, and the water was warm. In the past two days, I heard that the water temperature suddenly became hot. The water was steaming, and it was unclear whether the fish were dead or alive."
Just as he was talking, someone came out carrying two lively fish and replied enthusiastically, "You are alive, but you won't know for a few days. The water temperature is getting higher day by day."
Shen Yuyu and Sun Mengmeng became more curious after listening to the conversations of others, and followed the flow of people towards the spring.
The closer we got to the spring, the more crowded it became. Shen Yue even saw several familiar figures, including Wang Shishi, Jia Yao, and Chen Lihua~~
These three people are the eldest ladies of the three wealthy families in Kang'an City, and they are accompanied by many men and women and many companions.
"Get out of the way, all of us, get out of the way." Several young men in gorgeous clothes and holding folding fans shouted loudly to drive away the people blocking the front.
At first glance, everyone saw that this group of young ladies were the children of wealthy families in Kang'an City, so they all took the initiative to get out of the way.
Shen Yuyu and Sun Mengmeng were following them towards the wellhead.
There were people crowding around the entrance of the well on three levels inside and three outside, and laughter and shouting could be heard from time to time.
"It's two cents a piece. Come and buy. Come and buy. If you don't want to buy, don't block the way. Give way!"
"Two cents a piece? Isn't that too expensive?"
"Two cents is too expensive? You've never seen this fish before, have you? This is not something you can catch from the river. It's so delicious."
"There are too many people, Sister Yu Yu, let's take a look outside." Sun Mengmeng held Shen Yu Yu's hand. They were pregnant women after all. If they were knocked down accidentally in such a crowded crowd, it would be troublesome. Already.
"Yeah, there are few people over there, let's stand over there." Shen Yuyu pointed to a stone slab not far away, and pulled Sun Mengmeng to stand on the stone slab.
This stone slab is located on a higher ground. Although it is far away from the wellhead, there is a clear view of the wellhead.
The well where the fish is sprayed is located under a large stone wall. It is built similar to the well in Shenjia Village. The first well is for drinking, the second well is for washing vegetables, and the third well is for washing clothes.
At this moment, the three wells are steaming with steam. The water temperature is not to mention high, it is always around ten degrees.
In the first well, spring water gushes out, and at the same time, white scales billow. It looks like the spring water is crowded with fish. The entire well is surrounded by a high fence to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire and robbing the fish.
There were quite a few people buying fish. Some were carrying buckets, while others were carrying basins. “Bring me two.”
"Give me five.'
"I'll give you ten, pick the big one and give it to me.'
The village chief of Jinglitou and several men smiled brightly while receiving money and catching fish for people. When they were fished out, the fish were white, lively and quite big.
Just as he was watching the excitement, the wind direction suddenly changed, blowing the steaming water vapor towards Shen Yugu.
"This? What is this smell?" Shen Yue sniffed strangely. She seemed to smell a smell of sulfur.
"I smelled it too." Sun Mengmeng also said, "It seems to be a sulfur smell, but this is normal. I remember that there was a spring in our hometown, and the water that came out was very hot, and it had such a sulfur smell. , that water can also be used to heal diseases when used for bathing."
"Yes, there is such a spring water." Shen Yuyu nodded, thinking that what Sun Mengmeng said is called a hot spring. The hot spring water contains sulfur and other minerals and has a sulfur smell. The taste should be similar to this spring.
But the difference is that the temperature of the hot spring cannot change so quickly, and there cannot be fish in it.
This spring used to be a normal spring, but now it suddenly became hot and smelled of sulfur. What did this mean? Thinking of this, Shen Yu's expression became solemn.
As a modern person, she knew this was a sign of disaster.
Earthquakes? volcanic eruptions? may all cause such abnormal signs.
"Sister Mengmeng, please wait here. I have to go find out about this matter." Shen Yuyu patted Sun Mengmeng's hand, "Sit here and don't move. I'll come here to find you later."
"No, Sister Yu, don't go." Sun Mengmeng looked worried, "There are too many people over there, and besides, Wang Shishi, Jia Yao and the others are all here, so it's better not to go there."
"It's okay." Shen Yuyu smiled relaxedly at Sun Mengmeng, "Forgot that I know Kung Fu? They are the only ones who can't trouble me, so don't worry and wait for me."
After Shen Yuyu finished speaking, he walked towards the mouth of the well.
"Village chief, we've got all your fish." Wang Shishi said loudly outside.
When the village chief heard that everything was included, he quickly raised his head and looked at Wang Shishi.
The country people were ignorant and did not know that Wang Shishi was a well-known wealthy lady in Kang'an City. The village chief asked in disbelief.
"All inclusive? Miss, are you sure you want it all?"
"Of course we have to finish it." Wang Shishi raised her eyebrows arrogantly, "We will buy as many fish as your well produces today, but there is a condition. Call everyone away and we will catch it ourselves.'
As he spoke, he winked at the maid who was accompanying him, and the maid stretched out a bundle of silver towards the village chief, "Here, this is the deposit paid by my young lady.
The village chief was overjoyed and was about to pick up the money when Shen Yue interrupted.
"Village chief, wait a minute. I'll give you five taels of silver to go to the well and ask you a few questions. Then you can sell the fish to them, okay?" Shen Yuyu said, taking out a pile of five taels of silver and handing it to them. village head.
"Okay, okay, of course it's no problem." Who wouldn't be happy to earn money? The village chief was smiling all over his face and was about to receive the money, when Jia Yao handed a one hundred tael silver note in front of the village chief.
"Village chief, we are going to fish now, but no one else is allowed in." Jia Yao said while looking at Shen Yuyu provocatively.
Although Shen Yue was wearing a curtain hat, Jia Yao heard Shen Yue's voice and guessed that she was Princess Ye.
She gnashed her teeth with hatred when she mentioned Princess Night. At the beginning of the year, there was a banquet in the palace and she came on stage to dance and perform. His Highness the Night King fell in love with her at first sight.
But then Princess Ye suddenly rushed in with someone, and her men kicked her away, causing her to be embarrassed in public and losing the chance to become the concubine of Night King.
Now that we met her on a narrow road, she had to make things difficult for her.
Shen Yuyu looked at Jia Yao and saw that Jia Yao was grinding her teeth with hatred. He should have guessed his identity.
At this moment, if Shen Yuyu lifted the veil and revealed her true identity, it would not be impossible to shock her, but Shen Yuyu wanted to see how arrogant and arrogant these wealthy young ladies from Kang'an City could be.
She also took out a one hundred tael silver note and stretched it towards the village chief, "I just feel the water temperature and ask you a few words. I hope the village chief can do it for your convenience."
