Zhu Yan thought that the rain should stop soon, but the rain was still falling for more than ten days.

On this day, she looked at the outside with a trace of irritability, and her eyebrows also revealed her unhappiness with the life in front of her.

Xue Jingyan looked at her irritability, but she only felt that the child really loved to play, and she was deeply suffocated by the rain in the post station, and she was not very happy when she thought about it. Although he himself can endure this kind of life, he doesn't want Zhu Yan to survive.

This black oppressive canopy, this seems to be a sky that can't see through the sun.

He walked up to Zhu Yan, gently rubbed her hair, looked at her with some distress, and asked, "Xiao Yan, what's wrong?" It looks so unenergetic that I can't eat it. ”

Zhu Yan shook his head a little tiredly, and asked with some confusion in his heart, "Master, this rain ...... Why don't you stop? ”

Xue Jingyan smiled bitterly: "Master can also change the celestial phenomena, otherwise there will be a big clear sky for Xiao Yan every day." ”

"Master, what time is it?" Because Zhu Yan has been following Xue Jingyan, he has never cared about the date.

But now, some memories were tumbling in her mind, and it seemed that some scenes had been alive before her eyes. She thought for a moment, oh, it turns out that this is supposed to be a memory of my past life, and she hates this intermittent memory to death. But because there are some places in her mind that can't be artificially controlled, she can only treat them negatively.

What appeared in her mind made Zhu Yan a little unclear what night it was.

She looked at the continuous rain and remembered the year in her memory, it seemed that there were a lot of people fleeing the famine, and these people came from the south.

Xue Jingyan was a little strange why she asked such a question, but still replied: "On the fifth day of the seventh month, what's wrong?" He didn't know what was special about this day, which would make Zhu Yan's face change all of a sudden.

Zhu Yan shook his head, thinking to himself, can't it be such a coincidence, is it just this year?

During that time, she had actually been wandering around, witnessing many people fleeing the famine with their families, and also witnessing many cases of selling children and daughters just for one meal.

In the face of survival, courtesy, righteousness and shame have been abandoned. Just for the sake of a bite, many people will do things that are usually stunned.

But that memory was still a little vague, and she had forgotten how she had left the flow of people fleeing the famine. Maybe it's a memory that I don't want to remember anymore, so I can't remember it all the time. Anyway, it's the year I escaped from the lame man's house.

Zhu Yan said to Xue Jingyan: "Master, such a heavy rain, will there be a big flood, the rain has not stopped, when can we go to Erlong Mountain!" ”

Although the previous officials wanted to curry favor with Xue Jingyan, they were not good at dereliction of duty under Xue Jingyan's nose, so they resigned one after another as early as the next day.

Because this place is really close to Qingyun Mansion, Li Xiangyun, as the prefect, made a good payment and sent an official authority, so that the people in the post station could take good care of the group, but he also left in the rain that afternoon.

As for what they will do when they go back, no one can think of it. Li Xiangyun first went back to Fuzhong to deal with the affairs of the past few days, and then went to the state city to see Liu Mingxu. He wants to tell Liu Mingxu about his knowledge of Xue Jingyan.

Since Xue Jingyan has already arrived in Muzhou, he still has to go to Erlong Mountain, so it is still necessary to ventilate in advance.

As for the continuous rain, in the south of Muzhou, they are already a little used to it, and the word Mu also brings the word water. The last time there was a big flood in Muzhou seems to have been decades ago, and the river embankment has been strengthened in the past few years, so they are not too worried.

The officialdom of the Great Xia Dynasty was also similar to that of the previous dynasty, the officials themselves were not from their own state, but were directly appointed from other states, and they were not very familiar with Muzhou affairs, and their term of office was about three to six years. For so many years, everything has been fine, so I don't pay attention to this aspect. Of course, there may be, but the person making the decision cannot be allowed to foresee what will happen in the future and prepare for flood prevention in advance.

And Xue Jingyan's arrival was actually for the money allocated by the treasury to Muzhou for the construction of water conservancy. He had heard that Muzhou officialdom was not clean, and this time he was appointed, but he didn't regard it as a big deal. Because he still had illusions about the officials of Great Xia, thinking that even if they really had some silver taels, they would do something if they wanted to do something.

When everyone thinks nothing will happen, the end result is often shocking.

But at this time, nothing has happened, only this continuous rain has opened the prelude to the miserable life of the people of Muzhou.

Seeing that Xue Jingyan and his entourage were not in a hurry like them, Li Xiangyun didn't ask them if they wanted to go together, anyway, so many people were gone one after another.

There are not many people staying in the post station, and only people in the official mansion can live in the post station, whether they are busy taking office or returning to their hometown with money, they will stay for two days at most and leave. It's rare to enjoy a few days of quiet time, but it's not pleasant to have such days for a long time.

The first floor of the post station was flooded a few days ago, although it was only a small layer, but it would wet the shoes when it came down, so gradually Xue Jingyan and the others did not go downstairs much.

At this time, Xue Jingyan listened to Zhu Yan's words, and after seeing the continuous heavy rain, he also felt a little abnormal in his heart. Everyone knows that if there is too much rain and the water storage capacity of the lake is exceeded, it can cause flash floods. Originally, it was relatively normal for the south to have a lot of water in summer, so Xue Jingyan didn't think this situation was abnormal before.

The little officials downstairs also began to complain from time to time, saying that the old man who delivered the vegetables was reluctant to come these days, and even if he came, there were fewer vegetables. And the rain keeps falling like this, it's not convenient to go out to buy something, and when I go to see my mother-in-law on vacation, the rain is still so heavy, but what can I do......

The people on the side teased him, what kind of mother-in-law, who doesn't know that his mother-in-law is in Qingyun Mansion's mother's house, which is four or five days away, and she hasn't taken the silver to give it to her friend.

The people downstairs were talking, and Xue Jingyan stood on the railing on the second floor and frowned.

However, the situation has not improved. When they woke up the next day, they found that the water had overflowed the first step of the stairs. This water is getting more and more. A few servants were scooping water out of the basin at the behest of a few servants.

Xue Jingyan made a decision immediately, instructed the four guards to prepare their luggage, and went to talk to Zhu Yan in person.

"Xiao Yan, let's go, let's get out of here. I'm afraid the rain will continue to fall, and I'm a little worried. ”

Zhu Yan blinked and asked, "Master, are we going to leave Muzhou?" We haven't gone to Erlong Mountain yet...... "If they just leave, then what will the people of Muzhou do?"

If their homes had not been destroyed, how could so many people change their temperament to relocate and go to Liangzhou and Jincheng?

Xue Jingyan felt helpless for a while, why did this kid want to go to Erlong Mountain all the time?

"Xiao Yan, listen to Master's words first, okay to leave Muzhou? I'll let the guards take you away. As for himself, he has come to Muzhou to have something, and now it depends on how Muzhou officialdom faces this natural disaster. He was a little anxious, and he didn't know how much of the money allocated by the imperial court over the years had been used for water conservancy. If anything, that's it......

Zhu Yan shook his head, it turned out that Xue Jingyan wanted to stay here by himself, how could this be? Who knows what will happen to Muzhou, if something really happens, although Xue Jingyan looks powerful, he may not be able to complete the things he wants to do. Especially, if she is not by his side, she will be even more worried!

"Where Master is, Xiao Yan is there!" She tugged at his sleeve and refused to let him go, she was reluctant to let him go like this. She hadn't heard of him in her previous life, and the relationship on that side wasn't sure if it was him, but in this life, it was he who had been with her.

There was a sense of paranoia and stubbornness in Zhu Yan's eyes, like a flame that never goes out.

Xue Jingyan seemed to have known her choice for a long time, and sighed softly. It's not that he didn't think that if Zhu Yan refused to leave Muzhou, he would knock her out and take her away. But at this moment, looking at her sincerely attached eyes, he gave up on the idea. I don't know why, he thinks it's good to have her by his side.

Instead of letting her live a life he doesn't know in a place he doesn't know, it's better to follow him. He was relieved that he could take good care of her, but he was not worried about others. He didn't know when he started, but he became more and more concerned about Zhu Yan. Maybe it's a big apprentice who can't bear it.

The guards quickly packed up their things, and Zhu Yan also neatly packed his things. It's still the flower cloth package, there is still nothing valuable in it, and there are a few books that Xue Jingyan gave her.

"Master, let's go!" Zhu Yan shouted.

Xue Jingyan stood by the window and watched the torrential rain like a waterfall, and came back to his senses after listening to her words, and saw that Zhu Yan had already cleaned up, and saw that the guards downstairs had already set up the carriage. So he went downstairs with Zhu Yan.

The carriage was still the same sumptuous carriage, the groom did not have it, and when he came, one of the guards was driving. At this time, Xue Jingyan asked the guards to take turns to drive one person, and then the rest went into the carriage to rest.

The guards listened to his words, and the expressions on their faces were a little surprised. Xue Jingyan hadn't said this kind of care for them before, not to mention, if it wasn't for Zhu Yan this time, I'm afraid that a few people wouldn't have taken the carriage in a hurry.

Several people's lips squirmed and wanted to refuse, but Xue Jingyan raised his hand to stop what they wanted to say.

"It's been too stormy these days, let's rest in the carriage first, I'm afraid it won't be too peaceful on the way, and if there is anything to do, the rain will be lighter. If the rain doesn't stop, then we may need to step up our pace and save some effort in front of us. ”
