Jia Yi, who didn't need to wait for someone, finally stopped dropping the chain, even on a stormy day, he finally arrived in Honghu County on the evening of the fifth day.

The wind is strong, the rain is urgent, and the people who can leave Honghu County have left, even in such bad weather, there are still people who risk their lives to escape from the flood like a devouring beast, but the carriage carrying Shi Huan is going upstream, which is quite lonely.

There was no one in the town either.

Everywhere there were collapsed wooden stakes, debris washed out and fallen by the flood, asked passers-by, said that most of the strong men were in the Honghu embankment, women, children, old and young out of the city, defective, really desperate, most of them were arranged by the government in the higher mountains behind the mountain.

There are floods here almost every year, but they are not serious problems, because the people seem to be quite well-trained, and there is basically no shortage of soldiers.

Through the guidance of passers-by, Shi Huan found a relatively safe and secure inn.

The shopkeeper is a beard, he doesn't look easy to mess with, he speaks crisply, and his eyes are poisonous, even if Shi Huan wears a human skin mask with his unsightly appearance, he still understands at a glance which of the three people is the one who is serious and speaks, and takes two steps forward to say hello, "Look at the girl's dress, she is not from Jiangnan." It's not a wise move for the girl to come at this time......"

She sighed, extremely helpless, her eyes were full of anxiety, "There are elders in the family in Honghu County, I heard that this year's floods are more serious than in previous years, I really can't rest assured......"

An ordinary face, with a good voice.

The shopkeeper was surprised in his heart, and secretly thought that this girl was a filial person, "Now many women and children are not at home!" It's been a good few days, but the other day a few days a lot of water has been rolling in, and many houses have been washed away! According to the trend of previous years, this day has not yet cleared, and the water will make a comeback, and now we have the old and young women and children here, all of whom are arranged in the back mountain, I don't know who the girl's elders are, maybe I also know. ”

"The surname is Sun. In the past two years, he has been on an errand in the Lu family...... Is the shopkeeper recognizable? Shi Huan casually said a surname and moved out of the Lu family.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper's attention was instantly attracted by the word "Lu family", and he was surprised and sighed at the moment, "Lu family, Lu family's monthly case is high, it's good to be on an errand in the Lu family!" The Lu family is in our county, oh no, we are a great benevolent person and a great benefactor in Jiangnan! Let's just say that this flood, every time the imperial court allocates so much silver, how can it be enough! It's not that the Lu family takes the silver out every year to make up for it, and opens a warehouse to release grain! Outsiders always say that the Lu family is the emperor of the rich and rival country in Jiangnan, and that the Lu family is fed by us Jiangnan people, but they don't know that if there is no Lu family, how can there be the current Jiangnan? ”

Shi Huan smiled, her expression was gentle, and the glimmer of light under her eyes made her whole face look a lot.

The shopkeeper sighed more and more secretly, this girl not only had a good voice, but also a pair of good eyes, and a face was too ordinary, but it looked a little out of place.

"I don't know exactly who the girl said about the relatives surnamed Sun, but since she is on an errand in the Lu family, the girl goes to the Lu family and asks, the Lu family house goes out from here, and walks east along the road, and it takes about half an hour to walk to see it, and the Lu family's mansion is relatively safe."

Shi Huan naturally knew where the Lu family was, but this "relatives surnamed Sun" was originally made up by her, and now she is wearing a human skin mask, and it is even more difficult to go to the Lu family to recognize her relatives. However, she still smiled before she said, "So, thank you to the shopkeeper." It's too late today, and it's hard to disturb people. The shopkeeper will open two rooms first, and we will stay overnight and pass it early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay! Or the girl is thoughtful. The shopkeeper responded with a smile and shouted behind him, "Two rooms in the upper room!" ”

Immediately, a young man dressed as a junior came over with a smile, "Guest officer, please come inside." ”

The young man looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and he grinned and was very pleased. His voice was crisp and a little innocent, "Are the guests from the imperial capital?" ”

Lin Jiang's hand was lightly pressed on his waist.

Shi Huan didn't look behind him, but he also felt Lin Jiang's movements, shook his head almost invisibly, and asked casually, "How can you see it?" ”

"Hey, hey!" The other party was innocent and proud of a young man, and his eyes were shining when he looked at Shi Huan, "Guess! I'm stupid.,My studies are not ideal.,My mother won't let me go to private school.,The size is to help in this inn.,Over the years, I've seen a lot of guests who come and go.,Although I can't say why I came.,But where the guest officers come from.,You can always guess a few points...... Perhaps, as the old man here said, the people raised by the water on all sides are different. ”

Shi Huan smiled and nodded, "We did come from the north, but it is not the imperial capital, just a small town in the north." ”

The other party was amazed and praised, "The girl's body is full of charm, but she seems to come from a big family, and it is only when she is small that she guesses that it should be a big city like the imperial capital." "He seemed to be a little stumbling.

"It's over, what's the charm." Shi Huan's expression lightened, his current appearance, this face is indeed lost in the crowd and can't be found, he has a mouth for Xiao Er, maybe he is used to being sweet, he can even talk nonsense with his eyes open when he praises people, forgive Shi Huan listened, and felt that he really couldn't accept this praise.

The little second was not embarrassed, and changed the topic after taking two steps, and admitted without any embarrassment that he was eavesdropping on the side, "I just heard the girl say that the distant relative's surname is Sun, but that ...... A grandson who loves to drink two sips? In winter, the one who likes to nest under the wall outside the gate of the Lu family and squint to sleep? ”

……

Lu Jia...... Is there really such an old man with the surname Sun? Miss Shi was dumbfounded.

The reason why she said that her surname was Sun was purely when she was preparing to make up a surname, and the first thing that appeared in her mind was the old Sun family she met before, and she naturally borrowed it. originally thought that there were so many people in the Lu family, how could outsiders tell if there was a surname Sun in it...... Some people said that it was clear that there were several people with the surname Sun, and it would be easy to prevaricate at that time.

Who would have thought ...... There is really such a No. 1 person, listening to the tone of this little two, it seems that he is still an old acquaintance.

Visible to the naked eye, the corners of Miss Shi's mouth twitched, and her expression was a little unnatural, not saying yes, not saying no, only shirking, "After all, I am far away, I haven't been in contact for many years, but I don't know much about the other party's habits now." This time, I was also entrusted by my mother to come to this experience...... I have seen the portraits of distant relatives at home, and I will find out when I go to the Lu family tomorrow. ”
