Chapter 536: Accompaniment

"My lord, this is too dangerous!

If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, if something happens to my lord, what should I do? ”

Master Qiu didn't care what Huang Xueshu said, he just shook his head and refused to give in.

Huang Xueshu refused, and wiped a handful of rain on his face.

"Rongsheng, if something really happens to the embankment, what should I do?

Don't worry, as long as the rain stops, I will take people back to the county seat.

You and Guo Shihai will work together to persuade the people in various villages to move quickly. ”

Huang Xueshu is a county magistrate, so naturally there are people guarding him.

When he said this, Master Qiu immediately frowned, but he also knew that if he continued to persuade him, he was afraid that it would be useless.

It was Guo Shihai who nodded vigorously, agreeing with what the county magistrate said.

"Master Qiu, let's listen to the adults, first move all the people to a safe place, and then we will pick up the adults."

Master Qiu heard Guo Shihai's words, so he could only nod helplessly and agree.

Li Zheng, who had originally accompanied the county magistrate to inspect the embankment, and those respected people in the village, were persuaded by Master Qiu and Guo Shihai to almost all go back, mobilizing the people in the village to move to a safe place first.

Only the old boy before him, stubborn and unwilling to go.

Seeing this, Huang Xueshu thought about it, and said to there.

"Since the old man is unwilling to leave the village, why don't you accompany the official to inspect the embankment here!

He hurriedly took the rest of the people in the village and moved to a safe place first. ”

Li Zheng was originally very annoyed, but now when he heard the county magistrate say this, he suddenly felt a little frightened.

"My lord, this ......!?"

"Time is pressing, let's go back quickly!"

Huang Xueshu looked at the rainstorm that kept falling in the sky, and said to the person with a serious face.

Seeing that the county magistrate had a straight face, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything more, and left with Guo Shihai and them.

"Old man, please stay here with this official!"

On this side of the embankment, there is no one living there.

Therefore, now they can only stand on top of the embankment in their robes, watching the water line rise little by little after the rain falls.

Lao Tongsheng didn't expect that the county magistrate would make such a decision, and his heart suddenly became slightly uneasy.

He is now old, in fact, he is wearing a coat like this, and he is drenched in the rain, and he always feels damp and uncomfortable.

But the county magistrate is guarding here in the rain like this, he is just a child, can he compare to the body dignity of the county magistrate?

On the side of the broken temple, not long after Guo Shihai and the others left, Luo Chengen also took two people, as well as the letter from the county order of Luo'an County, and quickly headed towards Qingzhou Mansion.

It's just that the rain is too heavy and the road is too muddy, so I can't get up as fast as I want.

The rest of the people accompanied Ning Peng Peng in the broken temple, and when they saw that they couldn't leave for a while, they divided into two groups of people, one group stayed in the broken temple to protect the county lord.

The other group of people went out to look for prey and firewood, in case they were trapped here, they wouldn't go hungry.

As for the water, it was pouring rain, and there was no need to go out of your way to find it.

Seeing that everyone took the rain and heated it to drink, Ning Pengpeng was not hypocritical.

After all, it is raining heavily now, and the water in the river or creek is probably muddy, and it is not as clean as this rootless water!

The people who went out to hunt, although they did not hunt large wild animals, also hunted a few pheasants and hares.

As for firewood, even those trees that were originally withered are now soaked by the rain.

So, in addition to these drenched dead trees, a few fresh trees as thick as the thighs of an adult man were also cut.

After cutting the trees at the door, they put them next to their fire, dried the moisture from the trees, and then took them to the county lord and put them in the fire.

lest such damp wood be put into the fire, and the smoke that comes out of it will smoke to the county lord.

The extra firewood is dried and put aside, and then used when needed.

By the time a stack of firewood had been stacked next to the fire beside Ning Pengpeng, it was already dark.

The pheasant that came in had already been stewed, and a large pot full of chicken soup, although it was just a simple salt in it, but it looked very tempting.

In addition, those hares, after being skinned, were also roasted on the fire and charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

The people below first put the pheasant legs into a bowl and brought them to the county lord.

He cut off two more hind legs of the hare, wrapped them in the cleaned leaves, and placed them in front of the county lord, so that the county lord could enjoy them first.

Ning Pengpeng looked at the so many legs in the bowl, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

I don't need to make up for my form with form, plus, with so many legs, where can I eat my stomach?

Ning Pengpeng called people directly, leaving only a pheasant leg and a hare leg in the bowl.

The rest was all shared by the big guys.

It's just, where is this bit of meat enough for these men to eat?

Ning Pengpeng saw that there was still a pot full of chicken soup in the pot, so she asked her to open her luggage, took out the dough wrapped in oil paper, and put more than a dozen dough cakes down.

Soon, in addition to the fragrant smell of chicken soup, the aroma of noodles in the pot was also terrible.

After the noodles are cooked, they swell quite a bit after absorbing the chicken broth.

A large pot full of them, Ning Pengpeng just took a small bowl and ate it, and then burped.

Everyone shared this pot of chicken soup noodles, and they didn't even let go of the soup, and they were at least eight points full, and their bodies were originally a little cold, but they also felt a little warm.

I was full, there was a fire roasting, and the rain outside didn't feel so damp.

It was at this time that Liang Xing and Guo Shihe took their families to the outside of the broken temple.

"Ah He, what does this smell like?"

Guo's mother sat in the carriage, and smelled the domineering fragrance coming from the broken temple, and couldn't help but sniff, then lifted the curtain and asked Guo Shihe, who was riding a horse.

Because Guo Shihe and Guo Shihai came back in too much hurry, many things were left at home.

Along the way, people were panicked, and because they were anxious, they couldn't feel it.

When they arrived near the ruined temple, they felt safe, and when they smelled such a fragrant smell again, their stomachs and the whole family gurgled and screamed.

"Mother, you wait, I'll go in and have a look."

Guo Shihe had some doubts in his eyes, and glanced at Liang Xing, who was also riding a horse beside him.

After all, it stands to reason that they all came out of the county town with their families to this ruined temple.

And when they left before, the cousin entrusted the old lady to help them deliver a letter to Futai Lord in Fucheng.

But now, there are still people in this broken temple, could it be that the old lady did not obey her cousin's entrustment, and she couldn't go to the city?

And in the ruined temple, everyone who was originally sleepy also stood up vigilantly when the Guo family's carriage approached.
