Chapter 395 Good Luck or Too Bad
The villagers who heard the news looked at the collapsed hillside behind them in astonishment.

Perhaps surprised by the collapse of the hillside.

Perhaps surprised that they were unscathed.

Everyone saw the team coming towards them and silently retreated to the sides.

"Why did a good mountain collapse?"

"I heard that there was an earthquake on Wuyu Mountain a few days ago."

"It seems that it just shook for a while. Wuyu Mountain hasn't fallen yet, and Houshan shouldn't have fallen."

"Who knows."

"Those people seem to be from the state of Wei. They just came from Wuyu Mountain. Their lives are so great that they were not damaged by the earthquake."

"Bah, I'm right to say evil. It's an earthquake and a landslide. I don't know who came here. It's too evil."

"It's just too lucky."

"Their luck is ours."

"..."

The eyelids of Lu Youdao and others who hadn't gone far twitched.

The villagers want to make trouble.

Su Nanzhen couldn't understand what they said, but seeing Pei Songzhi's serious expression, she asked curiously, "What did they say?"

"Some say we are lucky, others say we are evil." Pei Songzhi hesitated for a moment, then said.

"I'm not wrong." Su Nanzhen said disapprovingly, "Don't you think the things we encountered after entering Yan Kingdom are strange? It's okay to say that we are lucky, or that we are not lucky."

"Madam Pei is really generous." Lu Youdao interrupted with a smile.

Pei Songzhi glanced at him, it was just a drizzle at the moment, and it shouldn't take too long to continue on the road.

After passing through this village, the wooden bridge in front was washed away by the rain for several days. If you don't wait, you have to go around the river embankment and go a little farther to get there.

Pei Songzhi looked at the turbid river that was about to pass through the embankment, and felt that the embankment was not very safe, and he didn't know when the wooden bridge would be repaired.

The embankment became more and more dangerous, Pei Songzhi hesitated again and again, not to mention him, even Lu Youdao and the others didn't want to walk on such an embankment.

Pei Song got on the carriage and asked Eggy to give him an idea.

Eggy quietly made a calculation and shook her head.

The embankment cannot be walked.

The river still needs to be crossed, but now the river is relatively calm. Pei Songzhi asked Yao Dan to find someone, preferably a nearby villager, to help him make a bamboo raft. They would pay and the bamboo raft would be returned to the villagers after crossing the river.

The business was good, and many men came to help, chopping bamboo, chopping wood, and making preparations.

Pei Songzhi and the others are in charge of supervision.

Eggy also came to join in the fun.

Su Nanzhen was also a little curious about how they made bamboo rafts, so she also got out of the car to watch.

Not to mention them, even Lu Youdao and the others looked very enthusiastically.

Song Yuyi also discovered that a person was seriously ill and treated him.

Seeing that they are kind-hearted, those people work harder.

Eggy counted her fingers, walked over, and whispered a few words in Pei Songzhi's ear.

Pei Songzhi frowned, and after they finished making the bamboo raft, he still reminded them that the river embankment is not stable now, so they should make early preparations, whether to find the next foothold in advance or be ready to escape at any time.

Those who don't want to leave must put the bamboo rafts in front of their houses, so that if the flood comes, they can still have a chance of survival.

"It rained so much before that we couldn't even get out the door. Let's go to see the river embankment in a while."

"The water is too scary, and I plan to seek refuge with relatives."

"..."

The villagers muttered to each other about the rising water, and they couldn't bear it anymore. After finishing their work, they ran to see what was going on on the embankment.

The bamboo rafts were ready, and the enthusiastic villagers sent them across the river.

The last carriage landed successfully, and they were ready to move on.

Taking advantage of the lack of rain, they hurried on their way.

When it was getting dark, the water suddenly rushed in, and everyone was shocked.

Especially Pei Songzhi, he saw that the man who was chatting with him before had turned into a ghost, and the ghost was still calling for help, but he could only pretend not to see it.

"It's all fate." Eggy comforted him.

Su Nanzhen looked at the two of them suspiciously, with a heavy heart.

Luckily for them, the water only reached their ankles.

Wading forward can be regarded as catching up with the post house.

But the inn was full, and they were officers and soldiers who were ordered to go to the disaster relief. Although they were guests, the other party was in charge of the money and food, and the melon fields and plums. Pei Songzhi still refused their invitation to stay, and moved forward in the dark. On the left and right of the ground is the inn.

Some homeless people live in the inn, but there are still a few rooms left, and they can sleep overnight if they squeeze together.

The family of three Su Nanzhen and Pei Songzhi lived in one room. The room was small, and there were people on the left and right.

Pei Songzhi wanted to ask Dandan if he could figure out when the rain would stop, and he could only use water as ink to write.

Eggy ignored him, it was just raining, no one could die, he didn't want to count, even if they counted, there was nothing they could do.

Pei Songzhi had no choice but to accept the facts.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, there was a quarrel outside. It was the homeless people who wanted to come to the inn to shelter from the rain and the inn boy. Pei Songzhi didn't get up.

It was inconvenient for them to intervene, and the night watchman ignored them, and the noise of the quarrel became quieter.

After days of rain, everyone looked a little tired. Doctor Song took advantage of the convenience of the inn to boil herbal water for everyone to drink to prevent it, and then set off after eating early.

It has rained for dozens of days, and it feels incredible. The moment I left the inn, I saw the sun.

The sun is shining brightly, which is what summer should look like.

I hope the weather will continue to be sunny, the flood will recede soon, and the people can resume their normal lives.

But along the way, I still saw a lot of refugees, some were staring at them, and some wanted to beg them for a few taels of silver.

Su Nanzhen couldn't bear to take a closer look, although she had the heart, but her strength was insufficient.

Because the good mood brought by the weather is gone.

After walking for six or seven days in a row, there were only a few drops of rain during the period. I heard that the water receded, and there were fewer refugees on the road. Maybe they all wanted to go home and see.

Because of the flood, they replenished white flour along the way, which was much more expensive than usual, and even Lu Youdao, a big spender, had a toothache.

He is not only in charge of diplomatic affairs, but also manages the money. There are so many people eating and drinking, and he is not good at temperance.

This business was definitely beyond the budget, and he brought money, but he didn't want to use his small coffers unless it was absolutely necessary. He couldn't live a life of saving money.

When Lu Youdao saw Su Nanzhen coming back with a pot of grass, his face turned dark, "What are you buying this for? You don't care about the food and you care about the flowers and plants."

"I spend my own money." Su Nanzhen turned to look at Song Yuyi, "Please explain."

"Actually, this is not an ordinary grass. It is called golden clematis. It has the effects of clearing away heat and cooling blood, detoxifying, relieving pain, and relieving cough. It is a good thing. It would be a great thing if Mrs. Pei can grow it." Song Yu The doctor quickly explained.

"I heard that it can be made into a dish." Su Nanzhen added.

"It's not enough to plug the gap between the teeth." Lu Youdao curled his lips and said in disgust.
