Chapter 381: I almost confessed outside
It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and several counties under the rule of Xinyang Mansion either do not rain after the beginning of spring, or it is the same as not raining.
The rain that the people had been waiting for for a long time was gone, and the ground was gone without even getting wet.
As the time entered mid to late April, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the water level of the well also dropped a lot.
The people who are close to the Dayun River are okay, and they can choose from the river for food and drink.
The rice in the field can also be irrigated with river water.
However, those people who are far away from the Dayun River are not having such a good time.
A stream that normally has a decent amount of water is now a shallow ditch.
There is not enough water to drink, let alone irrigation.
Coupled with last year's snowstorm and cold wave, life became more and more difficult, and they had to find another way.
Ordinary people in the city, who do not have a well at home, have to queue up early to carry water.
The people had difficulty in getting water, but they were able to survive.
After all, I have heard that someone wrote a book saying that this year's year is not good, and there may be a drought or something.
They didn't want to believe it, but after hearing about it once or twice, the person who wrote the script gave it to them, and they slowly became interested.
When they have nothing to do, they will subconsciously hoard water and food.
In addition to the water used at home every day, I will pick up some more, boil it and let it stand, and then store it in a large vat or large jar.
After the day became hotter, the number of merchants and people doing business gradually decreased.
In this way, the number of people who need the work outside has also decreased, and more people have become idle.
With the departure of the rich merchants and rich peasants, the situation became even more serious.
Once a magistrate has taken office, he may not leave his or her jurisdiction without permission.
And because of the special weather at the moment, they want to scrape another layer of oil from the people, and they have to weigh whether they will force people hard.
Since they could not fish from the common people in the territory under their jurisdiction, they turned their attention to those who passed through the territory.
No, Wang Can and Ling came back all the way, and "tolls" began to rise.
If you don't pay this toll, you will directly say that there is a problem with the road guide and detain the person.
Wang Can didn't know it, she didn't want to get into trouble, so she gave it if they wanted one, two, two, two.
But who knows, when she came back all the way, she found that this was not only the case in the county towns she was passing by, but also in some villages on both sides of the official road.
It was not only the yacha who stopped them from asking for tolls, but also some people who were dressed in tatters and who came out of nowhere.
There were a large number of them, usually a dozen or twenty people, with wooden sticks and woodcutters in their hands.
The amount of silver that he asked for was fifty or one hundred wen, and some of him was one or two yuan.
Wang Can and Ling are weak women, and the coachman is hired by the car dealership, and he doesn't have anything to do, so in the face of this situation, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
It's just that the road hasn't been halfway yet, and they haven't reached the post station, and the silver on the two of them has not been spent much.
Wang Can regretted a little, for the sake of insurance, she didn't have much silver on her body before, either staying with Li Yuan or giving it to Li Jun.
And the Ling family didn't think about it so much, except for the money she paid back, the silver was left in Fucheng for her two daughters-in-law.
Originally, if the road was smooth, I would have hurried overnight, or I would have arrived in Liuyun County in two days.
As a result, it took them five days, and they didn't even make half of the journey.
When Su Mingshan met them, they were only fifty kilometers away from the inn, and they had been stopped for a day.
Everything was snatched away, and only intimate clothes were stripped away.
If it weren't for them knowing each other, plus Su Mingshan brought a lot of nursing homes and carriages for watermelons this time, and it was this point in time.
No one knows what will happen to Wang Can and the Ling clan in the end, and when they will be able to go back.
Because Su Mingshan is here, the two came back very smoothly this time.
Even Wang Can, who had experienced escaping from the famine in his previous life, couldn't help but hug her and cry after returning to Lijiaao and seeing Li Yuan, let alone the Ling family.
Li Yuan didn't know what they had gone through, so she could only pat her on the back and whisper to reassure.
"What's wrong with Canniang, be good, don't cry, it's okay."
Wang Can cried vigorously, when she fled with everyone in her last life, someone led the way, no matter what happened, someone was in charge.
It's only April, and she's still hired a carriage to come back.
I never thought that this would be the scene along the way.
She almost, almost confessed outside, and couldn't come back......
