It wasn't until he stretched out half of his body, and waited for someone to approach, that he could see who it was.

"Zhang Zhutou, I'm Li Qinghua, the lieutenant chief of Li Jiaao, it's great to see you here."

Zhang Cong had always known that Li Jiaao's people were leaving, and when he heard this, he was slightly surprised, and finally asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"It's not that I left with my clansmen, because there were too many people, we walked slowly, and I didn't want it to rain halfway, so we were in a hurry, so we gave a fork."

Li Qinghua said, and hurriedly asked: "Zhang Zhutou, we are not very familiar with this place at the moment, and because there are many people, we can't find a place where everyone can rest for a while." Listening to Yuanniang, you took people to guard the peace of our Liuyun County at the junction of the two counties. I wonder if you know of a place nearby that can accommodate so many of us? ”

Zhang Zhutou was concerned about the situation in Liuyun County, and when he heard Li Qinghua's words, he said: "This is not far from the junction of the two counties, and after you enter Liufeng County, you can go to their Dankou Village to temporarily station." There are few people, the terrain is high, and no matter how heavy the rain is, you don't have to worry about being flooded. By the way, what is the situation in Liuyun County now, do you know? ”

Li Qinghua couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the clan, no, it was the person who had an accident in Li Jiaao.

"We left two days early, and because there was a fork in the middle of the road, we delayed until the morning. We don't know where the single-mouth village is, and I don't know if Zhang Zhutou can send someone to take us there? Also, when it first started to rain heavily, Yuan Niang sent someone to Liuyun County to deliver something, and I estimate that Bai Yan should be able to come back later. ”

Zhang Cong took people back because he wanted to do his best to help a group of people in the county.

However, he also knew the terrain of Liuyun County, and even if he brought people back now, it was estimated that it would be flooded.

Fortunately, the brothers he brought out this time had already obeyed his arrangement and left in advance, otherwise he would have been really guilty!

At this time, he faced Li Qinghua's request, thought about Xie Yanzhi's explanation before he went to Fucheng, and said, "Okay, then I'll take you over." It's just that when you get to the place, you have to find a place to live by yourself, and I want to go back to the county seat. ”

"Thank you, thank you, I really appreciate it!"

Li Qinghua said, feeling greatly relieved.

It's just that he quickly reacted and continued to ask: "Zhang Zhutou, we have been going all the way for several hours, and we haven't stopped. I don't know how long it will take to go to the village you mentioned? ”

"This rain, if you walk on your feet, will take four or five hours. If it's a sunny day, it's about three hours. Riding a horse or a carriage, that's faster. ”

Li Qinghua groaned for a while, and then asked, "Is there any other place that can temporarily let us rest for an hour?" ”

"Yes, continue to walk, half an hour, to the left of the woods, two quarters of an hour, there are a few caves. There are two caves that are not small enough to accommodate a few people. ”

Li Qinghua felt troublesome when he heard it, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, then forget it, let's rest in place." Zhang Zhutou took his brother and went into the car to take shelter from the rain! ”

Zhang Zhutou and the others did not ride horses, and walked purely on their feet.

Hearing this, he shook his head and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, I brought a lot of people this time, and there are more than thirty brothers, but I still can't do it!" ”

When Li Qinghua heard that there were so many people, he didn't get entangled, and after thinking about it, he looked at the old man Li who was silent and didn't speak.

"Uncle Liutang, do you still have dry food? If you want to, take some for Zhang Zhutou, and I'll pay you back with what the clan has prepared later. ”

"Yes, but there are more than 30 people, I'm afraid it's not enough. Huazi, there is so much movement behind you, you go and see what the situation is. Also, I thought that instead of stopping here to rest, it would be better for the group to continue walking slowly, and then the first few wagons and ox carts would go to the cave first. When the wagons and oxcarts were unloaded, they came back to pick up the people. In this situation, just standing here and resting like this is not the same thing at all. Besides, the hour is not early, and when it rains, the temperature drops, and you have to find a place to stay at night......"

Because the sky has been dark, Li Qinghua is in a hurry to let people hurry, and he forgets the time.

At this time, listening to Old Man Li's words, he reacted, and it seemed to be unitary time at this time.

It's summer, and if it's sunny, the sun hasn't set yet, and the earth is coming up, and it's time to roast people.

However, it had been raining heavily during the day, and the temperature was much cooler than usual, and it was time to find a place to rest.

Thinking like this, Li Qinghua, who was originally dizzy, reacted and said directly to Zhang Cong: "Zhang Zhutou, I'll go and see the situation of the clansmen first, you ......"

"Patriarch Li just goes, my side is out of the way. When you've dealt with it over there, what are you going to tell me again, and we'll take you there. Also, we don't need dry food, we still have it. ”

As soon as Zhang Cong finished saying this, the catcher behind him hurriedly said: "Boss, how can we still ......?"

Before the man finished speaking, he was ripped off by Zhang Cong.

They really don't have dry food, and even if there is, with such a heavy rain, those dry food is already soaked and soaked, so how can they eat it?

It's just that the people of Lijiaao are going to move out, and now that the rations are tight, how can they still take other people's food?

When they got to the cave, they braved the rain to see if they could catch some prey and roast it.

Here, Li Yuan watched the dim light on the oil lamp of the oxcart in front of her, watching the injured people being sent to Dr. Liu, and then listening to those who were not injured, when the crying scooter was gone, and the rations were gone, she also held her breath in her heart.

There was despair in their cries, and resentment in their despair.

It's just that they're not blaming the first person to fall, they're blaming God.

Blame God for why he can't get along with them, blame God for torturing people like this.

Li Qinghua came over, just saw this scene, and when he learned that many people's carts were washed away by the rain, he raised his voice and said: "You have no cart materials, after the clan arrives at Luyang Mansion, they will replenish your rations and warm clothes, and the other Shu clans are powerless." The same goes for those whose rations are wet. Later, let's go to the cave and stay overnight, and when we get there, we will cook with your wet rations. How much you use, how much the clan makes, is equivalent to the clan inviting you all to eat. ”

When he said this, after a pause, he continued: "It's just that we will keep the accounts of these first, and then we will make up for them when we wait for Luyang Mansion." Of course, if you choose to ask for silver, then when you come to the cave later, the clan can give it to you first.

Li Yuan was afraid that someone would feel uncomfortable, so she followed up and said: "Everyone has rations for me to help deliver them first, so it doesn't matter if there is a shortage at the moment, there are many of us, help each other, and grit our teeth." When you arrive in Linfeng County, Brother Xie has a batch of supplies there, and I will make up for you at that time. Besides, I already have a lot of rations in the carriage this time, plus Bai Yan and Zhou Zi are still there, so you don't have to worry about starvation and cold. ”
