Chapter 411: A Heavy Rainstorm Strikes

"Huh?"

Li Yuan had never experienced this kind of famine in her previous life.

Even if she wears a book and reads the content of the book, it is a little different from reality, so she doesn't know what is right.

She knew that she had to leave, there were so many people, it was difficult to find a place to stay, but it was human instinct to find a place to shelter from the rain in a heavy rainstorm.

So Wang Can said that she couldn't stop and had to keep walking, which made her a little puzzled.

It's like this day, when the rain falls for a while, people can't open their eyes, how can they walk then?

This official road is a dirt road, which looks big, but it can only allow two carriages to pass by at the same time.

Coupled with the topography of Liuyun County, the official road to go out extends outward around the mountain road.

There were many of them, and they walked side by side.

What if I slip out of sight and fall down the official road on the other side?

In addition, the rain was too heavy and flowed down the official road.

In the same way, they are going against the current......

"Sister, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, and it is difficult to find a place to shelter from the rain. Besides, there are so many of us, we can't spread them apart, right? Besides, once you stop, you have to stop until the rain stops or it gets lighter. At that point, no one knows what will happen out there. What if there is a plague everywhere? ”

Wang Can said, bowed his head and whispered in her ear: "Sister, it's actually good to walk in the heavy rain, and there won't be such a long-sighted robber." In addition, our people in Lijiaao have prepared enough, and a lot of dry food and drinkable water have been prepared, so they will not be hungry and thirsty. When you are too tired to walk, you can find a place to rest. ”

The things prepared by the people of Lijiaao, as long as there is an ox cart or something, have a tandoor on it, which can burn charcoal, boil water, boil porridge and hot rice.

Last year, the people in Lijiaao burned charcoal to sell, and they usually saved a little bit for cooking, so there was no shortage of charcoal at all.

With this thing, plus water and food, there is no need to worry about eating.

When it's time to eat, one by one gets on the wheels.

This was assigned by Li Qinghua as early as the day before Li Jiaao was about to leave.

Including Li Yuan's carriage, the same is true.

It's just that at that time, her carriage cooking was limited to the old house and Li Lin and Li Shu's families.

Old man Li, as the elder of the Li clan, even proposed that if it started to rain heavily, he and Mrs. Wang would squeeze into the ox cart of Li Lin and Li Shu's sisters, and would not cause trouble to Li Yuan and them.

And the ox carts they vacated were given to rest for others.

Li Yuan's carriage, as long as you take care of the guide and Li Duo and Li Rui.

However, this was just the original plan, and when Bai Yan and Zhou Zi came, with seven more horses, there would be no need for this.

The topic was far away, and after Wang Can finished speaking, he covered his mouth again and said in an angry voice: "Sister, let's listen to Uncle Hua and keep going." He is the patriarch and the chief, and he is always for the good of everyone, and he will not joke with everyone's lives! In my previous life, I heard that there were several landslides down this official road, and then many people happened to pass by and were crushed down. ”

Li Yuan's heart trembled when she heard this, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at both sides of the official road where the visibility was not very high.

It's just that it's really dark, and the carriage is moving again, and she can't see it very clearly.

Wang Can also looked to both sides, but he couldn't see clearly, so he took her hand and walked into the carriage.

"Sister, that's it, really!"

Li Yuan came back to her senses, let go of her hand, and quickly got into the carriage.

"Canniang, you help me build the canopy outside the cart together."

As she spoke, by the light of darkness, she took out six wooden sticks the thickness of her arm from the space, and pushed them out of the carriage one by one.

Zhou Zi, who was driving the car, didn't dare to turn back, so he asked Zhou Chou to help.

After Zhou Chou got up, he saw that in the carriage, Li Yuan had already lit the oil lamp, and then saw her push out a large bundle of oilcloth and hemp rope from inside.

"Mrs. Li, what do you want to do?"

Li Yuan's carriage was specially built, and the wheels were wider and longer than other carriages.

There are three card slots on the left and right sides, which are used to build a canopy before heavy rain.

When she heard Zhou Chou's words, she said: "We must build a canopy, so that a few people can live on the carriage at that time." Zhou Chou, you look at the card slots on the left and right, you insert these six pieces of wood into and fix them, and wrap the carriage from beginning to end with a tarpaulin, including both sides of the wheel. In this way, even if you sleep in the wilderness at night, you can lie in this wheel and squint for a while when you are on duty at night. ”

Zhou Chou looked at the car that was completely fine with the two people lying down, and immediately helped to build the canopy.

And Li Yuan and Wang Can, as long as they take a hand.

When Li Yuan was building the canopy, other ox carts and carriages were also busy with this.

Their carriages are all built according to Li Yuan's, but the size of the carriage is just how big or small.

Their tarpaulins, in addition to the ones they bought at home, also had Li Yuan's side.

When the group was done, the rain never fell, and the sky was as dark as night, and everyone needed to light torches.

Li Qinghua couldn't sit still in the carriage, so after he asked the carriage to stop, he got into Old Man Li's.

"Uncle Liutang, this day is abnormal. I've lived for almost fifty years and haven't seen it. Let's do this, is it right or wrong to continue on the road. ”

Not to mention Li Qinghua, it is Old Man Li and Mrs. Wang, both of whom have seen each other for the first time in their lives.

However, Mrs. Wang is more knowledgeable than Old Man Li, after all, she has been to Fucheng and has been there for a few months.

She knew what the official road was like, and when she heard Li Qinghua's words, she said decisively: "It's right to continue on the road, and staying is a dead end." Huazi, don't think too much, let's just go, as far as we can. I really can't walk, so I have to go to the junction of the top of the mountain and Liufeng County. ”

Li Qinghua just wanted a sentence, and he didn't need to say why, after hearing that he was relieved, he sat in their carriage and looked out with heavy eyes.

After a while, he said with difficulty: "It's okay for us to come out, what do you say about those people who stayed?" Lord Xu, can you really take so many people out in time? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Old Man Li: "Uncle Liutang, the terrain of our Lijiaao is the lowest, and I estimate that as soon as this rain falls, it will quickly flood our Lijiaao." I don't know what the situation in Liufeng County is, if it's the same as ours here, then their terrain is high, which is equivalent to flowing all the water to our Liuyun County, and the county town will have to ......be flooded."

As Li Qinghua's words fell, the wind began to rise outside, but the wind carried moisture and a strong earthy smell.

No one was happy, there was the timid person, and even his legs were already weak, and he couldn't walk, and he had to be pulled by the people next to him.

Except for those sitting in the car, everyone was dressed in their robes.

And the hat worn on the head, for fear of being scratched off, was deliberately tightened.

The food and other things in the cart pushed were wrapped tightly inside and out with oilcloth.

"Click, click, click......"
