The next morning, the young man walked in from outside with a dewy body, and Shu Xiuhe was having breakfast, when he saw him come in, he asked, "How is it, have you found it?" ”

"Master Hou, we observed all night last night, and when it came to the first watch, there were half fewer guards than during the day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There are a total of 12 people on duty during the day, and only 6 people on duty at night, and those 6 people will take turns on duty, which means that there are actually only three people on duty at night. ”

The young man's voice was a little hoarse, and a blue-black stubble appeared on his chin, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of exhaustion.

"As for that place, it's an open flat land, and we may be understaffed. Master Hou, I went to the people guarding fifty miles outside the county to send a message, but I still didn't see my uncle's convoy, in order to make sure that in case, he also rode a horse and walked another twenty miles, and still didn't see a convoy coming here. ”

Shu Xiuhe nodded at him, raised his head to see that he looked tired, and instructed him: "You are doing a good job, first take the people who are with you to go down to have some breakfast, sleep well, and we will act in the evening."

The young man bowed his hand and respectfully withdrew from the room, and when he turned to leave, he looked up at the blue sky and frowned.

After breakfast, the young man told his night explorers to go and rest first, while he himself was still drinking tea in the house.

"Hey, it's really strange, why is the sun so big just now, now it's gloomy?" One of the guards of the Hou Mansion looked at the sky full of doubts, and his tone was full of doubts.

"This guest officer is the first time to come to our Shouchun County, right? After the Chongyang Festival, we will enter the rainy season, and it will rain for a long time, every year, it may still be a big sun in the morning, and it may be pouring rain at noon. ”

The inn was carrying a teapot in the small second-hand, looking strange, and when he said this, his face was not wavering, "Fortunately, the autumn harvest has passed, otherwise it would rain like this, and the grain would be moldy." ”

"So in that way, it's the beginning of the rainy season?" The guard asked curiously.

"It should be the case, if it rains in the middle of the afternoon, it means that it will rain almost every day for the next ten days."

Xiao Er kindly reminded: "Guest officer, if you come here to do business, hurry up and do it, otherwise it will rain every day, and it will be troublesome for you to go out." ”

"Okay, we got it, thank you little brother for telling me." The Hou Mansion guard arched his hand.

Xiao Er waved his hand politely, carrying a teapot to bring water to other guests.

The guard turned around and entered the young man's room again, "Archie, did you hear what Xiao Er said just now?" ”

The young man's name was Archie, and when he heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand, "I heard it." ”

"Look at this day, nine times out of ten it is going to rain, do you want to go back to the Hou Ye and see what we do next?" The guards asked, these guards didn't know that their lord was waiting for a rainy day, for fear that the rain would hinder the trip.

"Okay, I'll go tell Master Hou." Archie stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and stepped out the door.

The guard looked at Archie's distant figure, with some suspicion in his expression, and scratched his head full of strangeness, "Why is Archie's mood much better than before?" Is it a joy to have rain? It's quirky......"

In the middle of the afternoon, as Xiao Er said, it was pouring rain, the rain came quickly and urgently, and the pedestrians walking outside the street were all equipped with umbrellas or coats, which can be seen as Xiao Er said, it has been like this for so many years, and he has long been used to it, except for the outsiders who were wet by the sudden rain, and the locals all came and went in a hurry.

Shu Xiuhe happily looked at the water droplets that became a rain curtain under the eaves outside, the sky was dim, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he rubbed his palms excitedly, and said happily: "Okay, good, if it's really beautiful, I'm still worried about asking you to go and stun those night vigilers at night, I don't want it to rain now, it's really good, it's great!" ”

Archie also smiled and said: "Congratulations to Hou Ye, congratulations to Hou Ye, God is beautiful, doesn't this omen mean that Hou Ye will make his wishes come true?" ”

"Hahaha......" Shu Xiuhe laughed in a low voice, his laughter was full of pride, and he was very useful to Archie's words, and the expression on his face was full of pride.

"Master Hou, should we act now?" Archie asked in a low voice.

Shu Xiuhe watched the rain increase instead of decreasing, pondered for a while, and said, "You go and ask Xiao Er, according to his experience, will this rain continue to be so heavy in the second half of the night, or will it decrease."

If the rain is still so heavy, we will move at night, and we will not even need to keep vigil in a coma, and it will rain all afternoon, and they must have gone back to their huts to take shelter from the rain now, and when the time comes, after half a day of rain, the group of people will definitely be paralyzed, and it is expected that they will not think that someone will come in at night while the rain is raining.

If Xiao Er said that the rain would gradually decrease, we would act now, and now that it is raining, the Yan family's convoy should also stop to take shelter from the rain, this is our best time. ”

Archie responded, turned around and went out, and found Xiao Er and asked a good question.

Xiao Er put away the little silver nude in his hand, licked and looked at the young man with a smile, "Guest officer, if you have anything to ask, just ask, if I don't understand, I can still find someone who knows how to answer for you." ”

Archie glanced at him lightly and pointed to the rain outside, which looked like an upside-down waterfall, "Then tell me, will the rain decrease or increase at night now?" ”

The smile on Xiao Er's face suddenly froze, revealing a look of embarrassment, and he glanced up at the young man's ordinary face, and felt that there was a momentum for no reason, which made him dare not make a mistake.

Thinking of the words he just released, he gritted his teeth, "Guest officer, I can't say this question, I'll take you to find an old man, he is called a weather master in our place, there is no weather that he can't see, he will definitely be able to answer your question." ”

It's a big deal, just give a few copper coins, Xiao Er thought.

"Then lead the way." Archie raised his chin.

"Chai Bo, this guest officer has something to ask you." The old man that Xiao Er said is the old man who lit the fire in the back kitchen of their inn, and he has been doing it in this inn for decades.

Archie politely asked again, Chai Bo stood up, walked out the door, raised his head and looked at the sky, and looked at the time of a cup of tea before he spoke: "This guest officer, the rain in the night will only get heavier and heavier, and it is about to thunder, so it's better not to go out if you have something." ”

A hint of surprise suddenly crossed the deepest part of Archie's eyes, and he tried his best to hold back his joy and asked, "Are you sure, uncle?" ”

Chai Bo was not angry, and still nodded lightly, "I have looked at the climate for so many years, and I rarely make mistakes." ”

Archie took out a piece of silver naked from his bosom and gave it to Chaibo, "Thank you, old man." ”

turned around and walked quickly to Shu Xiuhe's house, and said back to Shu Xiuhe: "Master Hou, the people here say that looking at the situation, the rain at night will become heavier and heavier. ”

Shu Xiuhe laughed, "Get ready, we'll act at night." ”

"Yes."

Archie withheld a very important piece of information, turned and exited the door, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, fleeting, and unprovoked to look weird.
