Chapter 380 The storm is coming
Since they all had to go to Beishui Town, Sun Da took his wife and grandson with Gu Qinghan and his group.
This place is not far from the town, and it only takes an hour to walk there. The journey was smooth. At the beginning of the afternoon, everyone saw a city wall. On the stone tablet above the city gate were engraved three large characters "Beishui Town".
There are not many pedestrians on the road and the streets are very spacious.
After separating from Sun Da's family at the city gate, Gu Qinghan and his group found a hotel to stay in. After walking for so many days, they looked dirty, so everyone planned to rest here for a night.
Except for Lin Zhian, Wu Mingshi and his servant, everyone else can just share a large bunk bed.
Everyone went their separate ways and washed and bathed.
The night in Beishui Town is just like that in Lin'an County, not very lively at all.
The streets were empty with only dim street lights on. Gu Qinghan and Li Junyong were strolling around the town. The night was slightly chilly and before they knew it, they were walking along the river bank. There were several large ships docked at the shore, all tightly tied up with chains.
Beishui Town is close to a big river. The routes on the river bank can lead to other prosperous places, and even to Zhuangzhou by water. Gu Qinghan has specifically inquired about it. If you take a boat from Beishui Town to Zhuangzhou, it will take less than half a month to arrive. However, the fare is still more expensive than by land. In addition, it has been a season of frequent heavy rains recently, and boat travel will be affected, so it has been in a state of rest recently.
Li Junyong looked at those big ships with envy in his eyes, "I can't even imagine it. If I could get on such a big ship, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Look at what you have accomplished." Gu Qinghan chuckled and looked at the sparkling river surface. The night breeze blew, and a fishy smell wafted into his nose.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see."
Gu Qinghan put his hands behind his back, turned around and returned the same way.
"Oh, I don't know how my parents and Junlan are doing. This is the first time I've walked far away." Li Junyong sighed as he looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky.
……
Early the next morning.
After everyone packed up and bought some supplies in the town, they set out again.
Such a large formation of six carriages immediately attracted the attention of many people, and some people hidden in the crowd began to get restless.
Shi Chen immediately noticed several malicious gazes looking at him again. His eyes became sharp and swept through the crowd. He met the eyes of one of them and inadvertently revealed the hilt of the sword at his waist, trying to intimidate those people with bad intentions.
The man was frightened by the intimidating look and trembled, then looked away in panic.
He has the desire to steal but not the courage to do so, a coward.
Li Junyong also saw this scene, his eyes full of contempt.
Even if they were to face off head-on, that group of people might not be enough for Brother Shi to handle.
Before more and more pedestrians appeared on the street, the group safely left the city gate.
Heading west again.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind, and a group of five or six people galloped past everyone on their horses, leaving only splashing mud.
"Why are they in a hurry again? This is the second group of them we meet on the road. And they are all covered up tightly." Lu Zishi couldn't help but say.
"Let's not worry too much. As long as it doesn't hinder our journey, it's fine." Feng Juesheng glanced at the receding figure and replied.
Only Lin Congjing, who was standing aside, looked at those figures, his eyes darkened, and he looked away.
It seems that that group of people have started to take action and things are starting to change.
When the storm is coming.
I am talking about this right now. The originally clear sky is beginning to be covered with dark clouds.
I wished for a sudden change in the world and couldn't stop sighing.
There was another heavy rainstorm that delayed farm work. Xu Zhi ran home quickly carrying the picked peppers. He threw the last handful of peppers in his hand into the backpack and ran home quickly.
Thunder had already begun to sound, and the strong wind blew up the dead leaves that had fallen to the ground.
Xuyuan pushed open the door of the yard, quickly put down the backpack, and began to collect the dried mangoes and strings of chili peppers that were drying in the yard.
I really hope that the recent rain will stop and we won’t have to wait until the end of the month to harvest the rice.
Before Xu Zhi had finished collecting all the things he had wished for, a strong wind and heavy rain began to blow. Xu Zhi threw the backpack on the corridor and hurried to help collect the things.
When the two were about to be completely soaked, they finally brought in the things that were drying in the yard. Xu Zhi was so tired that he collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath.
Xu Zhi watched as her elder sister began to hang strings of peppers on the pole in the corridor without even taking a breath, and she felt admiration.
Although she had practiced the Eight Section Brocade and her body was indeed much stronger than her own, she was no match for her elder sister. She couldn't help but wonder, if Brother Gu and her elder sister fought, who would be stronger? Her elder sister's strength was greater than that of an ordinary man.
"Come back to your senses. What are you thinking about so intently? Hurry up and wipe your hair and change your clothes." Xu Yuan patted Xu Zhi's shoulder and urged him.
"Okay, sister, you have to change too. Your clothes are wet." Xu Zhi replied quickly.
Big raindrops hit the ground, and the roof also made crackling sounds.
Lai Fu stood beside the doghouse, looked up at the sky and shouted, his voice mixed with the rain, as if he was singing a song.
The sound of chopping vegetables on the chopping board also began to sound regularly at this time.
Xu Yuan held a kitchen knife in one hand, chopped the pepper on the chopping board into small pieces, and put it on the plate.
Xu Zhi was sitting in front of the stove, making a fire and steaming rice in the pot.
"Meow……"
A cat's meow suddenly sounded.
A yellow and white kitten stood on the windowsill, meowing at Xuyuan not far away.
"Woo-gu!" Xu Zhi heard the cat's meow, stood up and walked to the windowsill.
Wu Gu meowed, shook off the rain on his body, raised his hind legs and shook, then jumped down from the windowsill and rubbed against Xu Zhi's feet.
"Why did this cat get here? Xiaozhi, can you take a look at its body to see if it has any injuries?" Xu Yuan just took a glance and continued chopping peppers.
Xu Zhi took a piece of worn linen, held Wugu and sat in front of the stove. He wiped the rain off its body and looked at it, but did not find any wounds.
"So good." Seeing that Wugu was quietly letting him wipe its body, making purring sounds and not struggling, Xu Zhi couldn't help but praise it.
The rain outside was still falling heavily. It was time to leave the classroom. I wished for the rain outside. I was afraid that the two little kids would not come back. I reminded them to bring an umbrella when I went there in the morning, but they were still leaning against the wall.
