Ning Pengpeng looked at the heavy rain outside the temple just now, but he didn't worry about not being able to leave for a while.

Instead, I am worried that if such a heavy rain falls for a few days and nights, I am afraid that there is a possibility of breaking the embankment.

After all, this is in ancient times, not in modern times.

Excessive rainfall causes the levees to be unstable.

If the levee breaks, the villages downstream will suffer.

If it is only a small area of disaster, as long as the local government helps itself, there should be no major problems.

I am afraid that it will be a large-scale disaster, and then the local government will not be able to rescue in time.

In that case, there is a high chance that you will be left with corpses.

If there is a dike, Ning Pengpeng is a little worried, if the heavy rain breaks the dike, will their current location be the downstream of the dike?

Of course, this should be a headache for the imperial court.

Moreover, whether there is a levee here or not is a question.

Luo Chengen poured a bowl of boiling hot water, and the blow was almost enough to eat, and then handed it to the county lord.

Ning Pengpeng said thank you, took it, and took a sip.

The warm hot water entered the stomach, and the body, which originally felt cold because of the rain, suddenly felt a lot warmer.

"County Lord, there is still some distance from the official road here.

If you want to enter the county seat to rest, it will take at least four hours to travel. ”

Although the journey of four hours is not very far.

But now where they are now, they are in the middle of nowhere, and they are all mountain roads.

It is not easy to find this ruined temple.

If you drive a carriage under such heavy rain, you will undoubtedly kill yourself.

Hearing the answer of the people below, although Ning Pengpeng was a little uneasy in his heart, he still stopped the idea of continuing to walk in the rain.

"Go and change into a clean set of clothes, and then warm yourself by a fire so that you don't get cold."

Ning Pengpeng looked at the other party's soaking wet appearance, and called Luo Chengen to make a few more fires, so that the big guys could have a good fire so as not to get sick.

Hearing the county lord say this, Luo Chengen was a little embarrassed.

After all, although this ruined temple is big enough, there are not many firewood that can burn the fire.

If you start a few more fires, you will have to burn a lot of wood.

But looking at the rain outside, it will definitely not stop for a while, and it can't let the county lord have no fire to roast at that time, right?

It's just that the county lord has already ordered him like this, and he can only do it.

Just as the people who went to investigate changed into dry clothes and sat by the fire to roast the fire, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the ruined temple.

Then, there was a cacophony of sounds, from far to near.

"This ghost weather, the county master doesn't know what to think, let us send a letter to Fucheng."

As the words fell, three middle-aged men dressed in official government service walked in from outside the ruined temple.

As he walked, he was still shaking the rain on his body.

It's just that when they saw that there were already people in the temple, the three officials suddenly stopped and glanced at each other.

The official who was the leader of the group, after looking around, paused when he saw Ning Pengpeng.

However, soon his eyes fell on Luo Chengen's body.

"I didn't know that there was someone here, so I came in rashly and disturbed me!"

The official thought that Ning Pengpeng was a female dependent, and Luo Chengen was the principal, so he bowed his hand to him and said politely.

Luo Chengen got up and returned the salute.

"This is a deserted temple, where to say the word disturb.

It is also fate to meet here. ”

The two sides were polite, and Luo Chengen invited the three of them to roast by the fire together, and soon, the conversation was hot.

Ning Pengpeng sat inside, listening to what the three officials said.

After Luo Chengen scooped ginger tea for them to warm up, they let down their guard against Luo Chengen and his party.

Of course, the main thing is that they are just going to Fucheng to deliver a letter!

There is nothing to be coveted, and they are officials, so naturally they don't think that Luo Chengen and his party will have any crooked thoughts about them.

"It seems to be a little far from Qingzhou Mansion City, right?"

Luo Chengen thought about the route in the map he had seen before, and when he heard what they said, he suddenly asked with some doubts.

"Yes, it is estimated that it will take two days to get to Qingzhou Mansion.

But our county magistrate didn't know why, so he insisted that we hurry up and send a letter to Lord Futai, saying that we were afraid that something would happen in the county if it was too late.

You see outside, it's raining a lot, I don't know if there will be an accident in the county, we may have an accident, that's for sure. ”

Among the three officials, the youngest one muttered dissatisfiedly.

The leader suddenly darkened his face, glared at him fiercely, and said angrily.

"Guo Shihe, the adult's decision, how can you and I put their beaks in place?"

"Big brother...... I......! ”

Guo Shihe was yelled at like this, and immediately muttered, and glanced at the leading official with some uneasiness.

Guo Shihai glared at him angrily, and then lowered his voice and replied.

"Outside, call me head."

"Okay, okay, we're all brothers, don't quarrel over this little thing.

Shihe, your eldest brother is right, we still have to work under the adults!

Even if there is anything, don't just pout it casually. ”

Liang Xing, another official, directly persuaded in a low voice.

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Chengen and his group.

Judging by the appearance, this pedestrian should also be passing through Luo'an County.

It shouldn't be that they have complaints about their immediate bosses.

However, it is better to be careful to sail the ship of 10,000 years.

Luo Chengen didn't expect that this Guo Shihe would complain about their top boss when he opened his mouth, so he suddenly snorted and found an excuse to divert the topic.

In this way, the atmosphere on both sides is a little awkward.

Originally, Luo Chengen wanted to find some excuse to ask about the situation in Luo'an County.

After all, from Guo Shihe's mouth just now, I learned that the county magistrate of Luo'an County was very worried about the safety of the county.

It's just that before he could ask, Ning Pengpeng's words took the lead to ask.

"Is there a dam in the upper reaches of Luo'an County?"

Hearing the old lady's inquiry, Guo Shihai and Guo Shihe looked at each other, and Guo Shihe asked with a little surprise.

"You've been to Luo'an County?"

Just now, he secretly exchanged glances with Brother Lobby and Brother Liang, and this group of people looked at it tightly, and they hadn't seen it at all.

Now hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, in addition to Guo Shihe's surprised question, Guo Shihai and Liang Xing's hearts were also tight, and they stared at Ning Pengpeng with doubts on their faces.

Ning Pengpeng was stared at by them like this, and he didn't panic at all, but shook his head.

"I haven't been here, it's just that the little brother said that the county magistrate of Luo'an County once said that he was afraid that something would happen in the county.

Now that there is such a heavy rain outside, except that the torrential rain makes the river bigger and faster, causing the embankment to burst, for a while, the old man really can't think of other possibilities.

That's why I asked you, in the upper reaches of Luo'an County, there is a dike! ”
