Chapter 21: Flood Discharge Channel
A small weasel opened its mouth and bit his finger. It knew its limits and didn't bite hard enough to hurt, only pulling slightly with a bit of force.
Chu Xun understood its meaning. He got up, put on a short jacket, and walked out of the house.
The two small weasels led the way in front, and the flock of crows on the eaves flapped their wings and followed behind.
Looking from afar, it was as if Chu Xun had been draped in a black cape.
The village at night was peaceful, but Chu Xun quickly noticed something unusual.
The air was too damp, faintly carrying a fishy smell.
His footsteps quickened a bit more. After a long time, guided by the small weasels, he arrived at the riverside.
The closest river to Pinecone Village was naturally the Songliu River.
Back then, after Three Stones Village failed in the fight for water, under the coercion of the County Magistrate, they could only fetch water from the Songliu River.
