Chapter 182: Guancang

In the early morning of the second day, Mei Berry was stunned when she pushed open the closed window again and looked at the Jinlan River.

It was as if last night's silver waves under the moon were all illusions.

Now it's as if the river is back to what it was yesterday afternoon.

She put on her clothes and went straight to the backyard to look at the river down the hill again, and this time Meiberry couldn't help but gasp.

The width of the river is no longer the so-called "jade belt beads" that can be described before, and it is unceremonious to say that the current Yunzhou Mansion is now bound by a large lump of rotten cloth.

The surroundings are full of water, and even the Yanzhou grassland opposite has been flooded a lot.

"I'm going to die, so much water!"

Mei Berry's face was ugly, and she turned around and went to the front yard, where Wei Meili was drying her clothes.

"Mother, where is my father?"

"I went out, early in the morning, he heard what the neighbors at the door said about something outside the city, I don't know what happened, she went out to inquire."

Hearing this, Mei Berry's mood also sank.

"Breakfast is hot on the stove for you, hurry up and eat."

Even Wei Meimei, who has always been calm and relaxed, was a little grumpy when drying clothes today, obviously worried about the changes that happened outside this morning.

Holding the bean porridge cooked by her mother, sitting under the eaves, Mei Berry swallowed a mouthful of warm bean porridge when she heard her father's voice coming from the entrance.

"Hey, thank you this time, it's not easy.

Suddenly so many people came... Three steps a, five steps and a group look scary~ ...... behind this"

Listening to Mei Youqian's words getting smaller and smaller, Mei Berry drank the bean porridge and approached the entrance with his wife tacitly.

But as soon as they got closer, the courtyard gate came with the sound of closing, and my father came back with a stupid face.

There was also a fish in his hand that he didn't know where it came from.

"Yesterday the soldiers of Jinghu Pass entered the city. It is said that more than half of Jinghu Pass was flooded, and the soldiers who approached this side could only enter the city, and many went directly into the mountains. ”

"Into the mountains? How dangerous is it in the mountains when it rains? ”

Hearing the exclamation of her mother, Mei Berry quickly remembered that she had seen the soldiers of Jinghu Pass on the map with a camp on the mountain.

It's not impossible to get into the mountains.

"I don't know about that, but I don't think these soldiers who have entered the city are anything to give me well."

Mei Youqian and his wife suddenly heard a noisy sound from the mouth of the alley this morning, so he went out to have a look.

As a result, the good guy on the street walked two steps and saw a soldier.

After careful inquiry, the neighbors who went to the street early in the morning ran into this group of soldiers, and they quarreled.

Those soldiers quarreled and drew their swords directly.

When he walked out of the alley in the morning, there was still a pool of blood on the ground.

"Previous...... The new Zhizhou and the general judge have not yet taken office. ”

Plum Berry reminded me of such a thing.

Now that the soldiers of Jinghu Pass have entered the city, it is obvious that all the power in this city is most likely in the hands of the general soldiers guarding Jinghu Pass.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many soldiers on the streets, and besides, these people don't look like they're sent down from the fence.

Mei Berry still remembers that there was a secret passage connecting Fucheng and Jinghu Pass in the previous map, but the secret passage was narrow, and it was impossible to suddenly send so many people.

It's still from the outside avenue.

"By the way, where did you come from?"

Wei Meili took the fish in Mei Youqian's hand, and was surprised to see that the fish was still alive.

"It's pretty fresh."

Plum berries also saw it.

"There are people who can't help but go outside the city, and yesterday I went to see where the rising river was, and when I saw that there were still a lot of fish in the water, I cast a net along the way, and caught it this morning...... Hey! ”

When he went to the market this morning, the market was not good these days because of the rain, and today this fish stall is probably not the best business.

There were not many people who ate fish in Jinshui Village, but there were many people who ate fish in Jinbai County and Yunzhou Fucheng.

"It's a pity that in the end, there are a lot of times left that were taken away by those soldiers, and the cents were not given."

When Mei Youqian finally said this, he specially suppressed his voice:

"At that time, the fish boss was about to cry, but fortunately, others comforted him, this fish was an accident, and there was no need to be so sad."

"That said, although the water is rising, it also takes strength and ability to catch fish, and besides, it is necessary to bring the fish back early in the morning for free? What do you think? ”

Wei Meili didn't agree with Mei Youqian's comforting statements at all.

This had to be changed to the fact that she was the owner of the fish seller, and she would have to be able to cry to death!

Plum Berry couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"I want to go to Jiubaoxuan......"

"Oh, don't. Now that it's like outside, it's not just for us to go out at will, you still have to go to Jiubaoxuan, what do you think? ”

Mei Youqian has been outside.

"It's basically impossible to see the little lady who hasn't married outside now, and those who are soldiers don't have a serious start, what if it scares you?

If I hadn't come back just now and met the previous Wang Yukuai halfway, I was afraid that this fish would have been taken away at the mouth of the alley. ”

Mei Youqian is not at all worried that Mei Berry will go out alone, ah, his wife will not be able to accompany him, and he will not be at ease.

But when she heard that these people were even grabbing the things in the hands of the people, Mei Berry's heart couldn't help but jump hard.

"No, I have to go to Jiubaoxuan to ask about the situation!"

Mei Berry insisted, and even called Mei You, Mei You also insisted on being with Mei Berry, Mei Youqian had no choice but to go out again and send the two girls to Jiubaoxuan.

Along the way, Mei Berry and Mei You were stopped and interrogated several times when they were walking on the road wearing hats, but fortunately, Mei Youqian helped to block them.

While Mei Berry and Mei You breathed a sigh of relief, they became more and more disgusted with Jinghuguan and these people in their hearts.

When they arrived at Jiubaoxuan, the shopkeeper was also taken aback by Mei Berry's arrival, and his eyes fell on Mei Youqian's body full of disapproval.

Why did you let the two little ladies come over at this time?

"How much do you know about this soldier in Jinghu Pass outside?"

Mei You got straight to the point, and the shopkeeper took the three of them to the store, and Jiubaoxuan had already closed down in the past few days.

"There was a lot of movement in the city last night, there were about 20,000 people, and I woke up."

"Twenty thousand."

Let's not talk about how the shopkeeper calculated, at least this amount is already a lot, after all, her father heard that there are still many camps in the mountains on the edge of Jinghu Pass.

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, but Mei Berry looked around and asked, "What about Wang Bei Gu and them?" They don't rest here? ”

"There is a house on it, and they are all on it, do you want to see the owner?"

"Ah, that's not it, if you know the shopkeeper, I won't ask, and it's the same if you ask."

Mei Berry didn't have the intention of seeing Wang Beigu, as long as she could get the information she wanted.

The shopkeeper shook his head when he heard this, and said: "In the future, the two little ladies should not go to the market, there are many soldiers here, and there are many fewer officers and soldiers in the area where the second and third levels are located, which is a lot more convenient." ”

At the mention of some soldiers outside, the horse shopkeeper's eyes also showed a little disgust.

Obviously, it's not that non-natives like Plum Berry hate being a soldier here, and even the natives don't like these people.

"These people went into the city last night in a hurry, and they didn't bring anything else."

The shopkeeper finally added such a sentence, and a lot of things can be deduced from this sentence.

"They didn't even bring anything with them, right?"

Mei Berry immediately understood the meaning of the horse shopkeeper, and when she nodded, Mei Berry's face was ugly.

"Shopkeeper Ma, do you know how much grain there is in the official warehouse of Yunzhou Mansion City?"

Mei Berry asked, Mei You also looked at the shopkeeper.

This made the shopkeeper himself, who had already provided Meiberry with this idea, couldn't help laughing at himself:

"This ...... I don't know. The shopkeeper shook his head, "However, it should be much less than the account......"

In this flood, anyone who is familiar with farming cannot help but frown when they look at the flood below the mountain.

This year, the autumn harvest is over.

Everyone seemed to be counting on the official warehouse, including these soldiers who had gone up the mountain overnight.

Now hearing the answer of the shopkeeper, everyone felt that a major boulder was pressed in their hearts......
