After leaving Ganquan City, Chen Xiaoting and his convoy went south, which was the direction of Yongxi.

Summer is coming, although it is a place in the northwest, it can still feel stuffy, which makes people very uncomfortable, not to mention that Chen Xiaoting is still wearing armor.

When someone proposed to take off their armor, they were severely reprimanded by Chen Xiaoting and strictly ordered them to dress properly.

This seems harsh, but Chen Xiaoting doesn't dare to take it lightly, it is really that he has experienced several sneak attacks, which left him with too deep memories.

If these people's requests are granted, if there are really villains who kill and cause casualties, they will be harmed.

It's a big deal, as these people thought, after returning to Luyang, invite them to eat and drink, even if Chen Xiaoting apologizes to them.

Fortunately, they all had horses, so the bad weather didn't slow them down until the afternoon three days later.

The so-called unpredictable weather is unpredictable, when an hour after the road from a station, a thunderclap shook a heavy rain.

Heavy rain is pouring, which is relatively rare in Yongliang.

originally thought that the rain would pass after a while, but it was obvious that Chen Xiaoting was too optimistic, and there was no tendency to decrease after the rain began to fall.

The thunder and lightning flashed, as if the heavens were angry, and the ears of the people hurt.

This year's climate is a little abnormal, after wiping the splash off his face, Chen Xiaoting thought.

This year, spring has been more fun than ever, February and March felt cold, and now it suddenly rained heavily.

When the horse came to the front, Chen Xiaoting looked at the carriage that was completely wet, and couldn't help shouting inside: "My lord, now that the speed of travel is slowing down, we won't be able to reach the post station before dark!"

This is a sure thing, it is impossible to travel at night in such a heavy rain, it is too dangerous.

Thinking of these, Shen Yue immediately said: "Since this is the case, then find a place to rest as soon as possible, this rain is indeed too heavy!"

With Shen Yue's words, Chen Xiaoting had an idea in his heart.

According to his plan, as long as he encounters a village market town later, he can directly choose to settle down.

But the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

The land of Liangzhou is more inhospitable than that of Yongxi, so even along the official road, the two market towns are far apart.

Coupled with the fact that the roads were muddy due to the continuous rain, the speed of travel was greatly reduced, so they did not encounter a market town at all.

This made Chen Xiaoting also worried, if he couldn't find a place to rest, would he have to drench all night.

Even if you are in a carriage, you have to be a soup chicken in the face of this rainstorm, not to mention that there are so many people who have been drenched all the time.

At this moment, a lieutenant came to report: "My lord, there is an abandoned thatched hut on the slope next to the official road in front......

The thatched hut, although it is a little simpler, can also be compared to the no.

After casting an approving glance at the captain, Chen Xiaoting hit his horse and came to Shen Yue's carriage, which was soaked in water at this time.

"My lord, there is a hut not far ahead, you can see ......"

Hearing this, Shen Yue looked at the darkened sky, and after weighing it, he said helplessly: "Then let's rest here for one night first!"

Chen Xiaoting happily accepted the order, and then beckoned the team to prepare to change the route, and sure enough, he saw a thatched hut on the hillside not far away.

And it seems that it is relatively well preserved.

But when they approached Chen Xiaoting and others, it became clear that this thatched hut was actually a post station, a temporary post station that was abandoned by the political envoy of Liangzhou only a month ago.

The living conditions were not as bad as he imagined, which made Shen Yue feel better.

"Sir, slow down!"

At this time, Chen Xiaoting didn't know where he found an umbrella, stood on the side of the carriage and weighed the umbrella, and welcomed Shen Yue off the carriage.

During this period of time, Chen Xiaoting has been meticulous in handling affairs, and Chen Xiaoting's performance in Kuyan Ranch not long ago made Shen Yue feel very satisfied.

Shen Yue will not say these thoughts clearly, and such a capable person will be promoted when he has the opportunity in the future, which is the greatest encouragement to him.

After getting out of the carriage, Shen Yue stepped on the dry ground as much as he could, but the upper of his shoes was still inevitably soiled by the mud.

At this time, Shen Yue looked back, but saw that the carriage of the two female dependents was still under the hillside.

So Shen Yue said, "Go and see, what's going on with the fourth lady and their carriage?" ”

Chen Xiaoting answered, and then handed the umbrella to the captain on the side, and then rushed directly into the heavy rain.

The small details of handing over the umbrella also made Shen Yue feel gratified, and secretly said that his promotion in the past two years had not been in vain.

And Chen Xiaoting, who rushed into the rain, quickly rushed to the carriage and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Immediately, a lieutenant replied: "Tell your lordship, the wheels are restricted!" ”

Chen Xiaoting took a closer look, and sure enough, the left wheel of the carriage fell into a mud pit, and the most important thing was that the horse pulling the carriage picked up.

Braving the heavy rain, Chen Xiaoting immediately said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and push the cart? ”

The two lieutenants guarding the carriage, as well as only two Shen Mansion servants, came to the back of the carriage after listening to Chen Xiaoting's reprimand, and pushed the frame forward.

"Start...... ......"

The four of them tried several times in a row, but the carriage could not be removed from the mud, but the two ladies in the carriage were embarrassed by the shaking.

Chen Xiaoting was also anxious when he saw it, only to see him step forward and kick a small guy away and say, "Get up and ...... away"

After holding the carriage, Chen Xiaoting said to a few people next to him: "I'll count to three, let's work hard, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" The crowd replied in unison.

"One...... Two...... Three...... Rise! ”

The carriage rose in response, and Chen Xiaoting also stepped into the mud puddle, looking embarrassed.

"Hurry up and catch up, there's a shelter from the rain!" Chen Xiaoting reminded loudly.

In addition to the car of Wang Siniang's mother and daughter, there were two carriages behind them, carrying the utensils brought from Lu Yang, as well as several maidservants.

Watching these carriages pass safely one by one, Chen Xiaoting followed and walked forward.

Just as he was about to cross Wang Siniang's carriage, he saw an umbrella sticking out of the window of the carriage, which almost slapped on him.

Wang Siniang's voice came from inside the carriage: "Hold the umbrella, be careful of catching a cold!" ”

Chen Xiaoting bowed down and said, "Thank you, madam!" ”

Then Chen Xiaoting took the umbrella and went away with the umbrella.

The reason why this umbrella was handed was because Wang Siniang saw the worry in her daughter's eyes.

"Okay, it'll be here in a while, don't be sad!" Wang Siniang said helplessly.

Shen Yi didn't know that her expression was all looked at by her mother, so she nodded with an "oh".

Sometimes a woman's heart is so easy to open that even Shen Yi herself didn't notice the "excessive" care on Fang Cai's face.

In the end, the group of people and horses all stopped in the hut, and at this time, a fire had already risen in the place where Shen Yue was sitting.

The ladies were arranged in the side room of the thatched hut, and after Chen Xiaoting came to Shen Yue's side, he said, "My lord, it seems that the rain can't stop!"

Shen Yue glanced at the dark sky outside, and said, "I'm going to rest here tonight, arrange a guard!"

This is his duty, Chen Xiaoting replied: "I understand my humble position!"
