Chapter 245: The Storm (Part II)

The trucks carrying grain at home came and went, and the cellar and grain depot were about to be filled, Xiaoru estimated that if the road outside was impassable due to the typhoon and there was a shortage of food, their family would be trapped for several months, and they would not be able to lack food.

The windows are also sealed with thick and heavy wooden strips, the Liu family father and son are not very good at windproof and rainproof buildings, Lou Yi doesn't know where to find an old man, it looks like his eyes are dazzled, his hands are shaking, his hair is white, his face is wrinkled, and he has to be supported by two people when he walks, but this old man does have the ability, in just half a day, he pointed out a few words, and the two fathers and sons of the Liu family were subdued.

These things, Xiaoru didn't care, she looked at Lou Yi arranged properly, she was happy to sit back and enjoy it, she only prepared medicinal materials, the medicine garden in the capital was far away from quenching her thirst, Zhou Wei built two laboratories, but unfortunately, it had just been built, and it had not yet produced results, and now the time was tight, the task was heavy, and she had to do it herself.

In the past two days, the people of Xiao Rutuo's Compassion Medical Association came back from purchasing a bunch of medicinal materials from outside, and the alchemy furnace that had not been opened for a long time also caught fire again, and the two girls, Meng Nier and Xiaoyan, hurried up to make a batch of standing medicines.

When a natural disaster strikes, it's time for medicine to be needed.

However, although the arrangements at home were proper, the affairs in Lou Yi's yamen were not smooth.

"What's wrong?"

Xiaoru is threading needles and threads, making clothes for Xiaoxiao, the child's body is growing fast, at present, the building is preparing to resist the wind disaster, even the maids and servants have gone to help, the needlework room is understaffed, the old lady and Xiaoru are relatively the most idle in the family, simply take a hand and do some work.

was busy, and when he saw noon, Lou Yi rarely ran home from the yamen, took a handful of water directly from the cold water basin with his hands, and poured it on his head, pouring it wet all over his body, causing Xiao Ruzhi to frown, "What is this for?" The big guy is upset, if you get sick again, it won't be a mess for everyone. ”

Lou Yi didn't care about the water stains on his body, sat on Huang Huali's chair, frowned, and gritted his teeth: "It's not the one surnamed Qu...... When is it, he still only cares about fighting for power and profit, and does not care about the life and death of the people. I ordered the day before yesterday to go down, the hurricane is coming, all the prefectures must be prepared, Zhaoqing Mansion and Huizhou Mansion are no problem, they are all experienced, more comprehensive than I thought, the emergency warehouse has also been opened, the people have received food and medicine, the shelter is also ready, and the people whose houses are not qualified have also begun to be resettled, that is, the surname Qu in Guangzhou Prefecture, it is said that there is no action...... Even if he didn't believe what I said, he should know what obedience was...... If I hadn't been busy on the docks and didn't have time to pay attention to it, I'd have to pinch him to death. ”

Lou Yi has been punished by the old man for copying scriptures countless times because he was too impatient, his temper has been much better, no matter what happened over the years, most of them are calm, but today he is rarely full of anger, he slapped the table, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This moth who doesn't know what to do, I want to let him jump on my ground, I won't be surnamed Lou ......"

Lou Yi jumped and leaked, Xiaoru only listened to it on the side, but in his heart he looked down on the Guangzhou prefect surnamed Qu, along the coast, the wind disaster was not encountered once or twice, which time was not a crisis, since Lou Yi said that the hurricane was coming, even if you don't believe it, you should weigh it in your heart, not afraid of 10,000, but also afraid of what if.

At this time, the official doesn't care if he has the ability or not, he has to work the surface, even if the people in the jurisdiction suffer heavy casualties afterwards, as long as you do what you need to do, the saint blames it, and you can say that you have done your best, not to mention, even if Lou Yi is young and has a deep foundation, it is also your top boss, he gave an order, how can you disobey the yin? Don't say that Xiaoru understands in her heart that the typhoon is 100% coming, it just won't come, you have done your preparations, even if you work hard, it is also an order from your boss, what responsibility do you have, but if the typhoon comes, you are not prepared, this is a big crime......

I wondered in my heart that no matter what the origin of the surname Qu was, he was afraid that the prefect of Guangzhou would sit at the head, and if he was unlucky, the disaster of imprisonment was just around the corner, which would save a lot of trouble...... Xiaoru waited for Lou Yi to leak enough, opened her mouth to divert the topic, asked Meng Nier Xiaoyan to prepare some nourishing food, asked Xiaoyan to bring new clothes over, and changed for him.

Eating food, talking about the child, Lou Yi leaned on the couch, rested in his clothes for half an hour, and hurried away, because the old lady was taking a lunch break, Xiaoru did not alarm his old man, anyway, Lou Yi is now discouraged, full of vicissitudes, the old lady saw it, and she could only feel distressed, it was better to wait for the matter to meet again, even if she was distressed, her son was in front of him, there was no lack of arms, many legs, and the old lady could feel a lot more at ease.

On July 12, a hurricane struck

The storm has finally come.

Xiaoru sighed, listening to the wind whistling outside, the branches of the trees hitting the doors and windows, banging, listening to the ears in people's hearts, the old lady held the rosary, chanting words, and I didn't know what she was praying for...... Probably Lou Yi's peace.

The wind and rain came, but Lou Yi still didn't go home, and when he came back, I don't know if the old lady would shout with her heart and soul first, and then take a rattan stick to teach him a lesson, this time it is not certain, after all, it is a duty, he is not at home, and it should be.

The wind and rain kept outside, Xiao Ru hugged Fu'er a few small ones, lit the lamp, sat in the hall and read, Xiao Ru read them a manuscript sent by Wang Meng, it was a heart-wrenching martial arts story, she wrote it herself, Wang Meng's writing is good, and she can read enough books, this story is very interesting, at least, Fu'er and Brother Fan'er listened to it with shining eyes, Xiaoxiao only showed her young age at this time, with a pair of hazy eyes, looking at Xiaoru in a daze, her sister and brother laughed, and he also laughed in a daze, Didn't actually understand anything.

While reading, Xiaoru missed Wang Meng in her heart, although she had recently re-exchanged information, but the distance was far away, and she could only convey a few words, and she didn't know what her specific situation was. A place like the palace, even if it was her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to live happily......

This time, the wind blew from dusk to dawn, and it didn't stop at all, longer than the hurricanes of previous years, fortunately, every day there were officials who braved the wind and rain to bring the news that Lou Yi was safe, otherwise, the old lady might not be able to sit still.
