Rong Ning didn't sleep well last night, and all night, she was thinking about what happened yesterday, as well as where Xiao Huaijin was now.

She yawned and pushed open the door, and the rain had been falling all night, and finally stopped in the early hours of the morning, but the water in the ornamental pool in the courtyard was about to overflow, and what was going on outside could be known by thinking about it.

However, she did not allow herself to be decadent for too long. After breakfast, she asked Tong Ye to drive the carriage to the small village near Yunyang Metropolitan Mansion to have a look.

Although Tong Ye didn't understand Miss's intentions, the master and servant had been together for so long, and he also understood that Rong Ning was not such a wanton and reckless person.

When the carriage reached the country road, it could no longer drive in, and the mud on the ground was tightly wrapped around the wheels, and it was difficult to move an inch.

Tong Ye's distressed voice came in through the curtain of the car: "Miss, I can't go in when I walk, and the more I go to the front, the deeper I am afraid that the wheels will sink in, and it will be difficult for us to come out when the time comes." ”

Rong Ning lifted the curtain and saw that the surrounding ground was already muddy, and the gurgling wheels drove out two deep marks on the ground, and there were no residents nearby, probably because everyone who was okay in this weather was hiding at home.

"It's okay, let's get out of the car just like that, and it's okay to walk a few steps in."

Rong Ning waved her hand, and took the lead and carefully jumped out of the carriage, trying not to let the loess stain her white-faced embroidered shoes, but how could there be nothing at all at this time? Tong Ye wanted to speak and stopped, and finally didn't say anything and just followed behind her silently.

It is also unique, which young lady would run to such a place in this weather to find guilt? Tong Ye was puzzled.

The village they came to was called Yunjia Village. Rong Ning specially asked someone to ask, this village is the place that was most severely affected in previous years.

The villagers in the village all make a living by growing rice, which is the most water-tolerant crop, but they still can't escape the rainy weather, which Rong Ning didn't realize until he arrived in the field how strict the situation was.

Most of the fields in the village are at a low level, and most of the day's heavy rain has filled the fields with half-foot-high rainwater, and the half-ripe rice is now hanging low, and all of them are haggard and look so unrefreshed.

There were many villagers standing on the sidelines and lamenting, but there was nothing they could do.

"Old woman. Let's go. Let's go, what's the use of seeing, we rely on the sky for food, we can only resign ourselves to fate. I hope God will be gracious. Don't treat us like you did last year. Otherwise, ......"

An old man over half a hundred years old tugged at an old woman's sleeve and babbled. The last sigh was particularly poignant.

Tong Ye was the most emotional, if he hadn't gone out by chance, he would not be farming in the village now, this common people, relying on the sky to eat is hard......

Rong Ning walked over, her fine boots had been tossed in the mud, and there were yellow spots on the back of her clothes. However, she still maintained a calm smile on her face, and said, "Old uncle, old woman, didn't you pay attention to fighting against the stagnant water?" If there is a Jiao on the mountain, won't there be no power to resist? ”

She had noticed the low tide in the vicinity, and there was a large mountain to the east, and the vegetation on it had been faintly loosened by the rain, and it would not be good if it continued like this.

The old man glanced at Rong Ning, and then at his wife, both of them were puzzled, but seeing this fresh face and polite appearance, they let go of their guards, and the old man hadn't cried to outsiders for a long time.

The old man's surname is Li, and the people in the village call him Li Laohan, who is a down-to-earth farmer. The soil of this Yunjia Village is good, and the crops are growing better than other places, which is very enviable. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the most severe victims of the frequent rainfall in recent years were their village, and almost all the displaced people were continuous, thanks to the local Taishou doing something, they could not starve to death in a panic.

“…… But this year, Lord Taishou heard that he had been promoted, and he didn't know where he was transferred, eh, this day is yo, let's get by, anyway, we're at this age, I haven't tasted any ups and downs, and life is not in vain. It's just that the children of these generations are pitiful, they go away, and those who stay behind are hungry, and Yunjia Village is going to die......"

Li Laohan's love was quite excited, a pair of broken hands trembled slightly, and Mrs. Li complained while giving him comfort: "Let me stop thinking about this, but you are sulking alone, and I will ignore ......you in the future."

Such a loving old husband and wife!

If it weren't for the fact that the scene didn't match, Rong Ning really wanted to show a big smile. However, she did not forget her business, and hurriedly asked, "Don't you have, uh, flood control devices?" ”

She wanted to say that it was "water conservancy facilities" directly, but after thinking that the word had not appeared at all, she paused before she thought of using "flood control devices" to describe it.

Although he didn't understand the words of this strange girl, Li Laohan understood it after thinking about it a little.

"How could it not be! When Taishou was still there, he ordered the fields to be straightened out, and at first it worked, but after a long time, it didn't work, and when it rained heavily, the thing was washed away, and not even a wreckage was left. ”

While a few people were talking, it was drizzling again in the sky, and Li Laohan hurriedly said: "Young man, if you don't dislike it, go to my house to sit down, so as to avoid the rain, and save yourself from getting wet and go back." ”

Li Laohan's home is not far from this place, and a few of them arrived home without much rain. During this period, the family next door didn't know what to call Li Laohan, Li Laohan said goodbye to them on the spot, and told the old woman to treat them well.

Rong Ning sat at a low table, looking around, the house was surrounded by walls, there was nothing valuable, but it was very neat, it seemed that the two old men were diligent.

"It's not good for the little girl to get cold," Mrs. Li came in from outside the door, holding a bowl of dark red soup in her hand, and put it in front of Rong Ning, her old face full of wrinkles and ravines was full of kind smiles, and said: "That old man can't see the clues, old woman, I am hot-eyed, although I don't know why you are dressed like this, little girl, but the girl's body still has to pay attention to it, so as not to feel uncomfortable in the future." ”

Rong Ning was a little embarrassed, no one expressed suspicion about her identity along the way, so she only said a few words, and she was seen by the old woman.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

She picked up the bowl and drank it, and the redness on her face could not be extinguished.

"It's good that you don't dislike my wife and I'm annoying, I think at the beginning, if my granddaughter was still here, she should be so old as you......" (To be continued.) )
