Chapter 108: Natural Disasters Strike
Yun Xiang didn't know what reply Gu Mo had gotten, but all villages and counties had received news that they were going to prepare to fight against natural disasters. Naturally, there are many people who don't believe this news. Although this is mandatory work, there are still people who are passive and slack off.
According to the agreement, Gu Mo did not reveal the slightest news about Yun Xiang and Yun Sheng, but only said that there was a Taoist from Youfang, and he said that heavy rain and hail had fallen recently, and it lasted for several days. In order to prevent disasters before they happen, he first did some simple disaster prevention work with the Lin Governor's Mansion just in case. He also said that the other two prefectures may be affected, and asked His Majesty to indicate whether it is necessary to issue a warning.
It is said that the emperor was also thrilling that day, he came out of the Qinzheng Palace, and suddenly heard the sound of an eagle. When I looked closely, I saw that the falcon was standing on a big tree not far away.
The guards were about to shoot with arrows, but the emperor felt that the falcon was a symbol of bravery and fortitude, and he liked it very much. So he called the guards to bring a large basin full of raw meat to entice it. Who knew that it rushed to the side of the basin but did not eat, but just raised a paw and pointed at the emperor. The emperor didn't react for a while, but the eunuch who was still serving beside him found that the falcon had a bamboo tube tied to its feet. Someone cautiously stepped forward and took out the letter inside.
The emperor couldn't stop laughing and crying after reading the letter. This Gu Mo was also bold, and even found an eagle falcon to deliver a message. If it's a militaristic matter, it's just a few speculations from the Taoist people, and it's a joke to be so nervous about disaster prevention.
However, he has always trusted and loved Gu Mo, and when he saw that this eagle falcon was clever and mighty, he didn't delve into it. only replied with one sentence, let him take care of himself, and the other two governments could just say a word. Reluctantly sent the falcon away.
The other two governments just laughed when they received the news. Just put things behind me. Only Dongxuan Mansion, because it was under the jurisdiction of Gu Mo, vigorously made preparations before the disaster. All kinds of discordant factors, under the prestige of Qilinwei, they dare not make the slightest mistake.
On the fourth day, the weather was fine throughout the day. At this point, some people began to question and be dissatisfied, and some people even waited to see a good show. If there is no rain at all, this Gu Mo is afraid that he will have to bear a lot of responsibility.
After nightfall. The humidity in the air slowly increased, and Yun Xiang and Yun Sheng looked at each other and smiled. Yun Sheng said, "Sister." The wind is blowing, and the time you expected is not bad at all, or you are powerful. ”
Yun Xiang didn't speak, just smiled. Yun Sheng asked again. "You told Master Gu about the natural disaster. Why don't you tell him the exact hour? ”
"......" Yun Xiang naturally wouldn't tell him, she was here to see if Gu Mo would have a anxious look. She changed the subject and said, "It's the first time I've made this kind of prediction, so naturally it's uncertain. She couldn't help but want to tease Gu Mo when she remembered Gu Mo's appearance of the old god.
"Young master, miss, it's raining, let's come into the house." In the first month, now it is the big girl in Zhou's house, and I saw two masters standing in the yard in the rain. Hurry up and persuade.
It is said that Yunxiang is an incompetent person. Facing the big and small maids that I bought. I really can't come up with a name. So it was simply lined up from the first month to the wax moon. These twelve maids, the six New Year's Month and February in Zhou's house are old, and they serve well, and now they are holding the monthly example of first-class maids, and the three second-class maids in Yunlian's house plus Shang Jia, the first-class girl, and the remaining three follow themselves.
Yun Xiang and Yun Sheng entered the flower hall like a stream, Liu Chengshuang and Zhou were drinking tea and chatting, and Yun Lian took a book and was reading. Little Sanxuan Liu Yunxuan sat on a chair and nibbled on apples.
"Your sister and brother are getting better and better, and you have even thoroughly understood this Heavenly Observation Technique, do you plan to enter the Heavenly Prison in the future?" Zhou quipped, "To be honest, your parents are not smart, why are you so smart?" Will you learn it? ”
Since the bandits' incident passed, Zhou came back with the child. She said that she was restless every day after leaving, and this time she said that she would not go to live in the county by herself.
"Dad, are you storing enough things at home?" Yun Sheng also took an apple and asked as he nibbled on it.
"Enough!" Liu Chengshuang nodded, "Our family's granary, let alone ten days, is enough to eat for ten months." There are still a lot of vegetables in the greenhouse, which are growing every day, and it is enough. It's just that there is not much meat, so I specially asked people to buy some chickens and ducks to raise in the backyard, eat and kill. ”
"Everything in the field has been arranged?" Yun Xiang had a headache when he thought about his family's hundreds of acres of fields, and three days was really not enough.
Liu Chengshuang sighed, "Fortunately, fortunately, our family has money, I spent a hundred taels of silver to hire hundreds of people, and it was barely completed until this afternoon." Alas, I feel sorry for this money! ”
The family covered their mouths and laughed, and Zhou said, "If this silver is not spent, our harvest of hundreds of acres will be in vain." What is planted there is a good seed that Yunxiang found, are you willing to give it? ”
"Naturally, I am reluctant!" Liu Chengshuang shook his head, "I promised Lord Dasi Nong that I would farm with my heart." ”
It rained for three days, and early on the morning of the fourth day, hail of walnuts fell all over the sky. Those perfunctory people have suffered a loss now, sitting at home and complaining again and again. Of course, the most bitter are the prefects of the other two prefectures. I regret that I shouldn't have taken people's kindness as a joke, but this is the case, and there is no way to say anything more, so I can only gather my subordinates to discuss the aftermath of the disaster.
On the sixth day, a carriage entered the county seat from outside and ran until it reached the door of Hu Xianling's house before stopping. Hu Xianling braved the heavy rain and went out to greet him in person. The men raised their umbrellas, and two children dressed in strange clothes came out of the carriage, and when he got out of the carriage, he turned around and helped out a man with white eyebrows and long beards.
"Heaven is empty, it's really hard for you to come here."
The man stroked his beard and nodded, "My lord is serious, I once had another thousand gold favors, and I said that I want to repay it." How can I get the news now? ”
Hu Xianling smiled and stretched out his hand, "Please, let's go in and talk again." The little girl has been waiting for a long time, and because her body is weak and can't withstand the cold, she can't meet her from afar, don't be surprised. ”
"Oh? Miss is unwell? Tianxu frowned, "But you have a cold?" ”
"Alas, it's hard to say, and I also bothered her. This time, I invited the Taoist chief to come and see what was going on with the heavy rain and hail. But what god has been offended? The other is also to see if the little girl's body has encountered something unclean. ”
Tianxu was invited into the room by Hu Fangrou, and when he saw Hu Fangrou's face was pale and her eyes were blue, he asked, "Miss, but you haven't slept well lately?" Do you need me to exorcise evil spirits and ask for peace for you? ”
Hu Fangrou nodded and said bluntly, "It's true that I can't sleep well and can't eat." But I don't need you to exorcise evil spirits for me, but I need you to remove the thorn in my eye for me. (To be continued......)
