    When Ye Chang returned to Wu Zepi, his project had already begun.  Although others were not here, things had been assigned yesterday. The leaders of each group took their own people to work. The inspection group led people to check if there was any danger. Ye Dan took the old and weak to do the logistics.  Assure.  Therefore, when Ye Chang arrived, he only saw fires everywhere in the valley and a lot of people shouting.  Setting fire to the mountains is the fastest way to clear roads and reclaim land at this time. Because of proper grouping and attention to safety, several roads deep in the valley have been burned out in one morning.  Then according to Ye Chang's idea, everyone used tricks to saw off the burned tree trunks, cut them into pieces one by one, and used wooden falcons to carve them into small wooden rafts.  A relatively flat trail.  On this trail, it is much more convenient for both pedestrians and vehicles.  "Eleventh Lang, your method is indeed effective. It only took one morning, and it's already like this!" Seeing him come back, Ye Dan said happily: "Originally, I thought it would take two or three days to do it, but it turned out  It¡¯s done in one morning!¡± ¡°Zongzhang doesn¡¯t want to think that Shiyilang can even invite Bodhisattva. He is the disciple of the old immortal Sun, so he naturally has some magical powers!¡± Ye Zhi said with a smile.  Ye Chang smiled and made a group salute, thanking the neighbors who came to help.  The next progress was very fast as Ye Chang expected. In just ten days, the situation in the valley had begun to take shape. Then it was time to dig the foundation and ram the earth to build the wall. These tasks were handed over to several groups of people in turns. Originally, it was necessary to  What took four or five days to complete was completed in one day.  It was a little more troublesome to install the beams and lay the tiles, but it only took seven days to complete the whole house.  Oddly enough, on the night of the Liang Liang ceremony, it rained for the first time in more than two months in Xiuwu County. Although the rain was not too heavy, it alleviated the drought to a certain extent.  It is also more abundant.  After the rain, the burned areas began to turn green again. Ye Chang took advantage of the wet ground after the rain and asked for help from everyone to open a piecemeal field of about two acres in a suitable place in the valley.  By this time, the main project will be completed, and the subsequent construction of Shuidi will not require so many manpower.  But Ye Chang did not let everyone disperse, but began to dig into the mountains and take stones to build roads.  The way to remove the stone at this time is to first burn the rock with fire, and when the stone is extremely hot, pour a large amount of cold water on it.  The principle of thermal expansion and contraction is used to crack the rock, and then the stones are chiselled along the cracks.  This process is difficult and troublesome, but it is safer than using gunpowder.  Ye Chang naturally knew the formula of gunpowder. He even knew that this era was the time when the alchemy Taoist priests of the Tang Dynasty invented gunpowder.  But he is not ready to take it out yet, because he does not have the strength to protect this formula for this epoch-making tool.  No strength to protect myself.  Ye Chang can imagine that after understanding the effect of gunpowder, whether it is the powerful people behind the wealthy businessmen, the Li Tang clan, or even the border generals, they will tie him up without hesitation and force him to hand over the formula.  Someone with some foresight will spare his life, imprison him, and be responsible for improving the formula.  Short-sightedly kill him - and all the people related to him who may know the formula, silence is not something only evil people can do.  "If this road is completely paved with gravel, it will take a lot of time." Seeing that after ten days of effort, the road was only paved for about one mile, Ye Dan sighed.  "With fewer people, the progress will be slower. My road construction is actually second, and the most important thing is to let our villagers learn how to coordinate in such a project. From then on, everyone worked hard, whether it was paving roads, building bridges, or digging canals to divert water.  Everyone has a brain." Ye Chang was not sad: "This kind of work is the best way to train people's hands. Let's put this aside for the time being. The money in my hands is not good anymore, so I have to find some way to make some income.  " Ye Dan snorted at this. Although Ye Chang spent a lot of money in the past twenty days, others gave him a lot. He still has at least thirty dollars in his hand. If he saves some money, it will be enough to live on.  Two good years.  And now Ye Dan is a little superstitious about Ye Chang, always feeling that one day someone will send money to Ye Chang again.  "You'd better build the mountain gate first." Ye Dan pointed to the entrance of the valley: "Didn't you say you want to build an archway gate and a water gate here?" "That's what you intend to do, but the stone archway costs a lot of money.  And it¡¯s too tacky, so I¡¯ll make do with a wooden archway. I¡¯ve already drawn the picture, and I¡¯m just waiting for Uncle Zhi to be free.¡± ¡°He? He¡¯s almost fainting from studying the water trap, and only a prodigal like you is willing to take it out.  So much money is needed to train him." "In Ye Chang's case, Ye Zhi should be the most reliable carpenter in a short period of time, and Shui Lei could only rely on him, so he prepared enough materials for him to practice.  It¡¯s just that Ye Zhi is talented in this area.?It's really limited. After studying it for so long, the results are still blank.  Ye Chang was waiting to talk when he suddenly saw a horse riding towards this side.  Although Wu Zepi also had mules and horses coming and going, there were not many who drove horses like this. Ye Chang frowned, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.  The figure of the person on the horse looked familiar, and Ye Chang quickly recognized it as Xunyang Lin Xitong.  It is said that Qin Qinshou has returned to his hometown in Qinyang to take charge of the sale of folding fans to Chang'an, leaving only Lin Xizhu here, whose main role is to keep in touch with Ye Chang.  Ye Chang's heart jumped suddenly: Could it be that there was something wrong with the advice he gave to Qin Qinshou, and he sent Lin Xizhu to ask for advice on how to deal with it?  Lin Xitong dismounted immediately when he came to him, and while bowing down, he said loudly: "Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun, something happened to your brother!" As soon as these words came out, Ye Chang's heart suddenly tightened.  The "Brother Ling" that Lin Xizhu said must be referring to Ye Shu. What made Lin Xizhu so anxious must not be a trivial matter!  Ye Shu is now in Chang'an, which is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the best place at the feet of the emperor. Something happened there, and Ye Chang, no matter how resourceful and resourceful he is, is beyond his reach.  "Get up and talk to Haosheng. What happened?" Ye Chang pulled him up.  "This is a letter from my lord." Lin Xitong took out the letter and handed it to Ye Chang.  Ye Dan, who was next to him, stretched his neck and looked around. What the letter said was huge bad news. Ye Chang's brother Ye Shu had unfortunately died.  Seeing this, Ye Dan groaned. He turned his face to look at Ye Chang and found that Ye Chang's expression was still very calm.  But when he read the letter again, he found that Ye Chang's hands were shaking quite badly.  He was shaking so badly that he couldn't even read the words on the paper.  Ye Chang calmed down, took a breath, and picked up the letter again, but his hands were still shaking.  Logically speaking, he and Ye Shu didn't get along for a long time, and they shouldn't have had such feelings in the first place.  But maybe it was the real Ye Chang's consciousness that remained in this body, or maybe he didn't expect that just a few months into this life, he would encounter another abnormal death of a relative and he was unable to do anything about it, which made him recall  Some pain from a previous life.  "Eleventh Lang, don't be sad. The plan now is to talk to your sister-in-law about this matter." After all, Ye Dan was used to it. He patted his shoulder from behind, sighed, and then handed the letter to Ye Chang.  He took it in his hand.  After the letter was taken away, Ye Chang let out a long breath as if a heavy burden had been taken away from him.  He sat directly on the ground, which was somewhat inconsistent with his usual clean image.  The murder of Ye Shu is very simple. He died of oppression.  Qin Qinshou was very apologetic in his letter, but he did not say what caused Ye Shu's death. He only said that he was bullied by powerful people. As for who the powerful people were, he did not mention a word.  Although the Qin family has a major surname in Qinyang and has a certain influence in the local area, compared with the truly famous families, it can still only be regarded as a humble family.  Therefore, when they arrived in Chang'an, their abilities were limited and they could not give Ye Chang much help.  By not pointing out who did it, he didn¡¯t mean to hide it, but it was a subtle reminder to Ye Chang: the other party is very strong, so strong that he can¡¯t fight against it, so don¡¯t expect to be able to retaliate.  "Now your brother's body is still in the Qinglong Temple in Chang'an City, and the people of the Qin family are taking care of the funeral. Qin Qinshou asked you, are you going to welcome your brother back, or should he choose an auspicious place to bury him?" Ye Chang did not answer, his eyes were blank.  Looking into the distance.  After realizing that he had arrived in this era, Ye Chang once made up his mind to let the people who care about him and the people he cares about live a good life.  This was not a very lofty ambition, but even such an ambition suffered a setback not long after he set it.  Ye Shu doesn¡¯t talk much and is a bit cowardly, but Ye Chang can still deeply appreciate his brotherly love.  Perhaps due to the pressure from the clan, Ye Shu felt guilty throughout his life for letting him be the heir to the third branch, but he sincerely hoped that Ye Chang could live a better life.  Before leaving, Ye Shu once told him to be careful of Changzhi's plot.  But I never thought that Changzhi could not do anything to Ye Chang, but he himself died in another country.  "Eleventh Master, Eleventh Master, you must express your condolences. Now, the long branch in your third house is rotten. The second and third branches are rotten. You are the only one holding the beam. You must hold your nerve." Ye Dan  Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but panic.  It¡¯s not just the third brother, the hope of Wu Ze¡¯s Ye family rests on Ye Chang. If something happens to Ye Chang, then the Ye family will never think of surpassing the Liu family in one or two generations.  Ye Chang reluctantly raised his head, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Don't worry, uncle, don't worry." Even so??, but he did not stand up.  Lin Xitong next to him was a little anxious. He had a bad temper. Even if he wasn't Tan Qinshou, most people wouldn't be able to control him.  He now has some respect for Ye Chang, so he said: "Isn't Ye Langjun a master of immortals? Just ask an immortal! It's useless to sit here and cry. Your brother won't survive crying, and your enemy won't survive crying." In front of Ye Chang's eyes  Suddenly it lit up.  He doesn¡¯t understand what immortals are like, but in this era, aren¡¯t the various methods of later generations just the magic of immortals?  No matter how powerful those powerful people are, with those means, I will eventually surpass them. By then, if I want to avenge my brother, won't it be a simple matter?  "Eleventh Lang, are you feeling better?" Ye Dan also asked.  "It doesn't matter." Ye Chang rubbed his face hard to make his face look better: "What I'm thinking about nowis how to tell my sister-in-law" Ye Shu's matter can't be hidden if you want to, and Ye Shu  There were several other people who went to Beijing to serve together, so they would naturally ask someone to bring a message home.  Moreover, according to time, more than a month has passed now. Their service period is coming soon, and it is time to return to their hometown.  Ms. Fang is busy cleaning at home. She is a busy person. Her home is the cleanest in Wu Zepi.  Not only her small house, but also the surrounding public areas, she cleans every day.  When Ye Chang arrived in front of the small house, he stopped for a moment.  The house in the second branch is about half smaller than that in the third branch. Ye Shu and his family live in a somewhat crowded place. In the past, Ye Chang didn't feel anything, but today Ye Chang suddenly felt a sense of sadness.  Gently pull the door knocker, and a banging sound sounds.  After a while, Ye Chang heard a childish voice saying hurriedly: "I'll drive it, Auntie, I'll drive it!" Because Ye Shu was not at home, these days, the Fang family kept their doors closed, and the people in the village  Even if the scoundrels don't take the Ye family into consideration, they still care about Ye Chang's reputation, so no one dares to come up and provoke him.  It was Xiao Cinu who ran to open the door. It took a lot of effort for him to pull the latch open and then open the door.  "It's uncle, it's Uncle Eleven!" Jinnu shouted happily, and then frowned: "I thought it was daddy who came back, but my mother-in-law said that daddy was coming back soon!" Ye Chang's heart once again  Jumping wildly, he knelt down and touched the slave's head: "My dad won't be back for a while. He asked someone to tell the slave that you are the only man in the family. You have to take care of yourself and protect him."  Auntie and Xiaoniang." The little Jinu's eyes rolled, and he looked like an adult: "That's natural!" "Bang!" After Jinu finished speaking, there was a sound of something falling to the ground.  Ye Chang raised his head and saw his sister-in-law Fang's face pale and her body crumbling, standing there like a weak willow in the wind.  "Sister-in-lawsister!" Ye Chang murmured.  Fang squatted down and picked up the fallen needlework basket. She ignored Ye Chang and didn't stand up for a long time.  Ye Chang saw crystal water droplets as big as beans falling down and dripping on the ground in front of her.  "I will leave for Chang'an tomorrow." Ye Chang's dry voice sounded.  He had known for a long time that Fang's intelligence was beyond the reach of ordinary women, but he never thought that she was so smart.  Just from what she said to the little slave, she noticed something strange!  "Youwhat's going on?" "My friend wrote a letter saying that something happened to my brother." After all, Ye Chang couldn't bear to tell the news of Ye Shu's death directly.  "I knewChang'an is definitely not a good placeI knew Chang'anoh my god!"
