Xu Chongguang hesitated a little when he heard this: "Lao Bai, will you be too exaggerated, I don't think it should be!" ”

"As for! Lao Xu, you should know that people who stand in high positions don't know the suffering of the people, they only see what they see. Therefore, they will think that watermelons are expensive, and they will think that the people of the Li family have made money. However, no one knows better than you and me. ”

Before Xu Chongguang went out of the capital to take office, he didn't know how the people lived.

It was only after he came here that he realized the hardships.

And here, it is still a land of abundance.

Before he came, he had the impression that since it was a rich place, every household should be very rich, and life was extremely comfortable.

However, this is not the case, and the common people still have to rely on the weather to eat.

So, maybe what Lao Bai said is right!

Thinking so, just as Xu Chongguang wanted to say that he knew, an unfamiliar voice came from a distance.

"It's Lord Xu in the carriage ahead, please wait!"

Because the rain outside was too heavy, and there were still hailstones falling down, Xu Chongguang didn't dare or wanted to poke his head out to see, so he let Master Bai go.

"Lao Bai, who are you going to see?"

Master Bai walked to the entrance of the carriage, picked up the big hat that was placed aside, and put on the hanging coat before walking out.

Because the light was still very dim, he couldn't see who was coming, so he could only stand there and wait.

When the people got closer, he didn't see who it was, and he was riding a horse, and he was still wrapped in an oilcloth, and there seemed to be something underneath the oilcloth.

Bai Yan finally caught up with the people, so he asked, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, is Lord Xu in this carriage?" ”

Master Bai knew how to make face for Xu Chongguang, and nodded when he heard this, "Yes!" Because we care about the common people, when the rainstorm came, we didn't take care of ourselves, and unfortunately we were hit by hail and injured a little. At this moment, he is lying in it and can't get up, I don't know if you are? ”

"My name is Bai Yan, and the son of the main family is Chen Hao of the Protector General's Mansion. This time, on the order of the son, he came to escort Li Niangzi and her clansmen to Luyang Mansion. When I got up early this morning, Mrs. Li saw that the sky was not right, and she was afraid that the adults would care about the people, so she gave the people all the clothes and hats, and she didn't have anything, so she asked me to send a few oilcloth raincoats that she had prepared earlier. ”

Bai Yan said, lifted the oilcloth, untied a large bag of things from above, and handed it to Master Bai.

It was also at this time that Master Bai saw clearly that under the tarpaulin on the horse's back, there was actually a straw mat half a finger thick for adults.

Also, the rain is so heavy, and the horse can run so fast, how can it not be prepared?

Otherwise, just those hailstones fall down, and the horse will be injured even if it is not dead, how can it run?

Like their horses and oxen, for they were to pull their carts, they were now draped with quilts.

Compared with the straw mat, with a quilt, it is really extravagant.

But there was no way, they didn't expect hail, and the things they prepared were not sufficient, so they didn't think of how to solve it for a while.

Later, I saw someone walking with a quilt wrapped around his head, so I thought of asking the people to borrow quilts.

This method is good, but the rain is too heavy, and they don't have any extra tarpaulin, so after the quilt is soaked, it becomes heavier and heavier.

In this way, it is also a burden on cattle and horses, and it needs to be twisted from time to time......

After taking the things, Master Bai asked Bai Yan: "I don't know where Mrs. Li and they went, are you all right?" ”

"It's almost the junction with Liufeng County, and everyone is fine. Mrs. Li was worried about your side, and thought that we were not far away, so she specially asked me to send things over. Okay, since the things have been delivered, then I'll go first, you let Lord Xu rest more, what you can do, try not to worry about him. ”

"Okay, thank you to Mrs. Li for our adults, and have a safe journey!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Bai Yan left, Master Bai dragged things into the carriage.

Xu Chongguang, who had never shown up, was even more sure that what Master Bai said was true after hearing Bai Yan just symbolically say some words of advice.

When he saw something at this time, he sighed with emotion: "Brother Xie Xian's two sons are both good people!" ”

Master Bai didn't speak, just nodded, and when he took the things out of the basket, he found that there was a piece of paper in it.

It was written on the paper that this thing was called an oilcloth raincoat, how many pieces were sent, who they were given to, and how to wear them.

Not to mention that Xu Chongguang is not used to wearing clothes, even Master Bai is the same.

After carefully reading the content of the note, the two picked up their raincoats, shook them, and put them on their bodies.

In order to verify how this raincoat was, Master Bai didn't need Xu Chongguang's orders, so he wore a raincoat and a big hat and walked out.

He stood in the rain for about half an hour, touched the clothes on his body with his hand in the raincoat, and then went back and said to Xu Chongguang: "Old Xu, this thing is really good, if everyone wears a big hat and wears this coat, there is no need to be afraid of this hail and wind and rain." Our hats are big and thick, and as long as the hail doesn't fall head-on, it won't hurt anyone at all. Even if it hurts, it's better than just smashing someone to death, or smashing the head and bleeding. It's a pity that we don't have many hats, and we don't have much tarpaulin. ”

Xu Chongguang doesn't care so much, anyway, he has done his best to protect the people.

Now it doesn't matter how many people can be protected, and if you want to kill and hurt a single person, it's impossible at all.

What he wants to do most now is to save his life.

As for the rest, it must be his life.

Therefore, the raincoat given by Li Yuan is a rare good thing for him.

What are you afraid of if you have hail, put on a big hat, put on a raincoat, and put on a coat, will you be afraid?

Li Yuan didn't know at all that because of Master Bai's persuasion, the Li family was spared a catastrophe.

As time passed, she estimated that everyone and the cattle and horses needed to stop and rest, and then got up and walked out of the carriage.

Before she could go out, she heard Li Qinghua's voice come again.

"Let's work harder, let's work hard today, let's walk for another half an hour and find a place to rest. In any case, we have to walk to the junction of the two counties today. ”

Wang Can, who had already emptied the spiritual spring water in the carriage, was secretly glad when he heard this.

Fortunately, when the clan asked everyone to weave clothes, her sister Yuan asked everyone to weave some straw mats for the sake of cattle, horses and donkeys.

However, the purpose of weaving straw mats was just to fear that the rain would be too heavy and it would hurt if it fell on the cows and horses.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was isolated from the huge hail.

All of them in Lijiaao, everyone has a coat and a big and thick hat, but they are not afraid of these.

But those animals that are used as a means of transportation must be afraid.

Fortunately, fortunately, her sister Yuan was thoughtful!
