"Have you explained everything about the shop?" Qi Mei asked.

Tao Qiqi: "Mother, don't worry, every shop has a steward, they are all very experienced, without me, they can do the same." And I also said hello to Brother Han, and asked him to help me keep an eye on it if he was fine. With him, what else can I worry about? ”

What's more, all the stewards, as well as some important employees in the shop, have signed a space contract with Tao Qiqi, and she can do things in their absence.

Qi Mei: "Okay, then I'll pack up and prepare some thick clothes in the past two days, although the south is not as cold as the north, but I should pay attention to keeping warm when I am in a hurry." ”

Tao Qiqi: "Well, prepare a few more futons, and put them in the carriage for later use." And then there is food and something, and I also prepare some of it. ”

Qi Mei: "The futon has been prepared early, and I will arrange the food tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Tao Qiqi nodded, and then explained some things that needed to be prepared.

After discussing it, it was decided to leave in two days.

******

Two days later—

It's mid-to-early November.

Tao Qiqi and they hurried back to Jiangdu, both of which were in the south, and according to Tao Qiqi's plan, they should arrive in 5-7 days.

I have experienced a rush to escape the famine before, but now it only takes 5-7 days on the road, and Tao Qiqi doesn't feel anything.

And as long as there is no one on the road, they just need to hurry, and maybe they can get there early.

But Tao Qiqi forgot one thing, that is, there have been recent floods in some places in the south.

The flood has receded in some places, but in some places the low-lying ones are still being flooded. Roads were also flooded.

On the fourth day of Tao Qiqi's journey, they saw that they would be able to reach home in two more days according to this process, but the road was blocked.

"The girl is gone." It was Shan Qing who was driving the carriage in front of him who spoke.

Although she didn't have to take away the thousand-strong guards that Nangong Ye left her, Fu Lin, Shan Qing and their group were guards belonging to Tao Qi or seven people, and she still had to bring them, and by the way, she could also drive the carriage in front of them.

In addition, Shan Qing and the others had already appeared in front of everyone, and Tao Qiqi didn't let them hide alone.

Just set off all the way together and dress up as a caravan, which will also save you some unnecessary trouble.

"No way? How can there be no way? Tao Qiqi didn't react for a while, and asked with some doubts.

As soon as the words fell, she poked her head out and looked forward.

Looking at the flooded road in front of her, she reacted.

"Fu Dong, you go to the front and take a look, see what's going on, how far is the road flooded?"

"Okay." Fu Dong should get down, jump out of the carriage, and then slowly flow forward along the road in front of them.

Peach Qiqi and his party waited in place.

After waiting for a while, I saw Fu Dong turn around and walk back.

After coming back, Fu Dong said: "Girl, the road in front is basically flooded, and it will be dangerous to go further without seeing the road. There is also a river not far away, and the water in the river is very fast, and it is easy to stray into the rapids when you are so dazed. ”

"Is there a village nearby?" Tao Qiqi asked.

"On the other side of the river, we saw a village, but it was more than half flooded, and it was clear that there was no one inside. It is estimated that they hid in the mountains behind the village. Fu Dong replied.

"Qiqi, then should we go back now and choose the nearest town or county seat to live, or??" Fang Yu asked.

What Fang Yu meant, Tao Qiqi naturally understood, and after thinking about it, he said, "Let's go up the mountain too." ”

It's getting late when I walk back and forth.

Second, if you can meet the villagers in the mountain, if you need help, you can help.

It is not easy for the people at the bottom, not to mention that the weather is cold now.

Waiting for the top to strike, layer by layer, not sure when.

"Fu Lin, you take someone up the mountain first to find a suitable place to stay, and we will settle the carriage and luggage below before going up the mountain."

"Yes." Fu Lin Ying went up the mountain with a few people.

Peach Qiqi and the others turned around to find a suitable place for the horses to hide.

"Girl, there's a cave there." Suddenly, Shan Qing's voice sounded again.

Tao Qiqi poked his head out and looked in the direction of Shan Qingzhi, and saw that at the foot of the mountain, there was a cave at a relatively high position, Tao Qiqi had good eyesight, and it was obvious that there were people walking around at the entrance of the cave.

"Let's take a look."

Then the procession headed for the cave at the foot of the mountain.

It's just that the cave is still a little far from the road, so Tao Qiqi and the others had to temporarily park the carriage on the side of the road and walk over to the cave.

The road from the road to the cave is full of ridges, Tao Qiqiyi led Qi Mei and Jiang Su one after the other, and then advised: "Mother, Aunt Jiang, you should be careful." ”

Fang Yu followed behind Jiang Su, and Jiang Su led her, obviously Jiang Su himself was nervous, but he didn't forget to tell Fang Yu: "Xiaoyu, you should be careful." Don't fall down. ”

"This road, we used to walk in the village, and we couldn't fall down, but mother, you have to be careful." Fang Yu replied with a smile.

The ridge they walked on was almost more than a meter high from the paddy field below, and if they had to fall, they would not only fall into mud, but if they didn't fall, they would have to sprain if they were not careful.

But fortunately, Jiang Su is Tao Qiqi in front of her, and Fang Yu is behind, and the two of them are holding her steadily, plus now she is also a person with martial arts, so it is not a problem to take this path.

Several people finally walked across the ridge to the foot of the mountain, but there was a stream about one meter wide at the foot of the mountain.

The creek is usually used to bring water to the fields to water the crops.

A wooden bridge was built over the creek that was temporarily erected by the villagers.

The wooden bridge with the trunks of four large trees tied together, just enough for a person to walk on.

However, due to the recent floods, the water in the creek is very deep, and even the current is very fast. It's no joke that this is going to fall, it's okay to save it, but if you can't save it, you will rush into the river along the creek and finally rush into the river.

To get to the cave at the foot of the mountain, they had to walk over a small wooden bridge that the villagers had built improvise.

This is not as good as walking in the fields.

The first time he encountered this kind of rapids stream, Jiang Su was still a little nervous, for fear that he would be washed away by the water if he fell.

The first one to pass was Qi Mei, and the second one was Tao Qiqi, and when it was Jiang Su's turn, her legs kept trembling.

"It's okay, this bridge is stable, as long as you don't look under the bridge, there's nothing to be afraid of, just come over in two steps." Qi Mei hurriedly comforted her.

At this time, Tao Qiqi whispered: "Aunt Jiang, if you are afraid, then fly over." Don't forget that you're not an ordinary player right now, and it's easy to fly over this distance. ”

Fortunately, with Tao Qiqi's reminder, Jiang Su reacted.

During this time, I have experienced many killers, and even challenged the snake nest, and it seems that I am not afraid of heaven and earth, and this good day will return to the past after a while.

A stream scared itself across.

After reacting, Jiang Su gently ran his internal strength, raised his foot and stepped across the stream.
