Chapter 17 Sudden Heavy Rain
  After hearing the reason, Qin Huaiyi sighed and patted his shoulder.

"The king is old, the princes below him are fighting fiercely, and the surrounding countries are watching him with eager eyes.

Even we ordinary people are afraid that one day the border will be unable to hold up, and I am afraid that Kyoto is already in dire straits.

When the jurisdiction is relaxed, all kinds of monsters and ghosts naturally start to take over.

Speaking of which, it may not be a disaster if we leave. "

Wen Chenru also agreed with this statement, "What Uncle Qin said is that there is another drought year in the north, and I heard that many people have begun to flee.

Once there are more refugees, the world will be in chaos, and the country next door, which is eyeing the situation, will inevitably take the opportunity to disturb the situation.

The border is currently supported by General Yun and his family. If something happens to them, they may really lose the border. "

"Forget it, now we are all just exiles without a home and a country, and we can't control that much."

"Exactly."

It's just that he will avenge this revenge if he has the chance.

But he won't go out of his way to take revenge. Now that his family is well, as long as they are well, he doesn't seem to have such a strong desire for revenge.

After thinking about it, Wen Chenru felt that the emotions he had been suppressing seemed to be much better.

After eating, the female relatives took turns to keep vigil. After all, the men in the team had to drive, while the women could sleep during the day.

Although it was tiring, it was still better than walking on legs, and it didn’t mean I didn’t get any sleep at night.

In the first half of the night, Zhao Qian stayed with the Wen sisters and Wen's mother, and in the second half of the night, Fang Yuerong took Siqi and Zhishu to guard.

The main thing is to pay attention to the movement around you, and then add some firewood to the fire.

  The boring journey passed quickly for two days. When we were about to arrive at Xiaomanzhai, the sky suddenly turned dark clouds.

"???Is it going to rain today?" Zhao Dong was surprised.

Wen Chenru frowned and replied, "It looks like it."

"We have just left that yellow sand field, and the wind and rain are about to come. What a coincidence."

Others thought it was a coincidence, too.

"Uncle Qin, I'm afraid we have to take shelter from the rain in the village ahead."

Qin Huaiyi nodded, but he had doubts, "Are they willing to let outsiders enter the village?"

"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, our horses and donkeys may get sick easily if they drive in the rain. Moreover, there is a sandy road to Rimuzhou, so we are afraid that the car will get stuck."

Everyone agreed that the carriage, which was originally going to take a detour, could only go to the house in front.

Qin Jia was a little worried. The village living next to Rimu Island must not be a good thing.

Fortunately, she has recently found a way to fix the bug.

That is, after using the Ruyi pen to draw several pictures in advance, without pouring the liquid in the pen, you can directly realize it when you use it.

This way, she wouldn't have to lie down on the ground to draw temporarily when something happened.

Now she has a total of two large pictures and several small pictures in her hands.

One of the large drawings shows a pack of wolves. If she encounters danger, she can directly release the wolves to protect the family from leaving.

There is also a picture of a very large carriage, which can accommodate at least fifteen people, and is pulled by three horses.

There are more small pictures, including a basket of cakes, a vat of water, and five separate pictures of horses.

There is also a small drawing of a tiger and a small drawing of four broadswords.

Just now, when she saw the sky like that, she drew two more pictures.

One is a pile of black raincoats, and the other is a basket of oil-paper umbrellas.

Qin Jia is really grateful to himself for having worked so hard to learn painting. Look at the paintings he draws every day, and he wishes he could be a nesting doll. Basically, we want to make as large a picture as possible. If we paint one piece at a time, it will be very troublesome.

Fortunately, her three-dimensional sense is very strong!
  Soon they came to a place surrounded by fences, and it started to rain lightly.

Zhao Dong stepped forward and shouted, "Is anyone there?"

After a few more shouts, three people wearing raincoats came out.

The middle-aged man at the head asked: "What do you want?"

"It's like this. We were passing by here and saw that it's going to rain heavily today. It might be dangerous if we continue to move forward, so I wanted to ask if we could stay overnight and leave when the rain stops."

The middle-aged man discussed with the two people next to him and then replied: "Yes, but you have to pay for food. How many people do you have?"

"There are fifteen people in total."

"Twenty kilograms of food a day. We only give you three rooms. Is it okay to leave an extra day and give you an extra day of food?"

The price is not cheap, but in a place like this with no store front and back, it is considered a reasonable price.

I just hope it doesn't rain for too long.

Qin Huaiyi agreed. After all, the food was basically the Qin family's money. Although they were borrowing it, everyone still consciously handed over the decision-making power to him.

The fence was opened and horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts filed in.

Led by the three people in front, they arrived at the yard of an adobe house.

"You just live here. You can use everything there is. If there is nothing, you can only find a way. If you have nothing to do, don't go into the village. If you have anything, go to the house in the village to find me.

Bring the food to me when you have settled down. If you stay for one more day, take it with you and leave as soon as it stops raining. "

The middle-aged man may be the patriarch of this village, and his tone is not very good.

No one cared about it, it was just a temporary place to stay. After the rain stopped and they left, there would be no chance of dealing with him again.

After sending him off politely, he quickly unloaded the car.

"Drive the horses and donkeys into this stable."

"The food has been moved into the house. Madam, please clean it up. We will move the things, and Lie'er will help your mother and the others fetch water."

"okay."

Qin Jia and Qin Lin were not able to help. Zhishu asked them to rest, "Ladies, just wait. There won't be so many people working."

"Yes, you two ladies are weak, so you'd better not touch the cold water."

But they didn't touch the water, so they went to help and boiled hot water in the kitchen.

Although this house is empty, there is still a lot of firewood in the kitchen. It doesn't matter if there is no pot, they have it themselves.

Qin Jia boiled a pot of hot water and put ginger and brown sugar in it.

Qin Lin was frying hot pancakes in a hot pan, and cooking millet porridge in a clay pot.

After everyone in the house had finished cleaning up, two people came over to the kitchen to drink ginger syrup, holding oil-paper umbrellas.

Zhao Dong, who was the first to arrive, was surprised, "Why does this ginger soup contain sugar? It's so expensive. I'd better not put it in next time. We rough guys don't need to drink sugar water."

"Yes, you little girls can just keep it for you to drink." Father Wen said little, but he was honest and optimistic.

He is polite to everyone he talks to, smiles, and is good at woodworking. Although he has not shown it yet, he has knitted a backpack.

"It's okay, just let it go a little, everyone warms up.

After everyone comes and drinks the ginger soup, we will start dinner. "
