The rain is coming and the wind is blowing!
Although Xiao Han doesn't know where the wind and rain in the city come from, he can actually smell the tense atmosphere filling the air!
As arranged by Liu Hongji, Xiao Han has been quietly recuperating in Ningcheng in the next few days, quietly listening to various gossips coming from outside.
The world outside the city seems to be getting more and more chaotic!
The number of refugees and refugees has also increased again and again!
By now, the fertile land outside the city that was supposed to be full of crops was covered with grass, and the grass was covered with hungry men who were too lazy to move.
Farmers no longer cultivate the land, and workers have nowhere to work. Even the most diligent businessmen spend their days guarding their shops in a daze.
Everything like this seems so abnormal!
And the government, which should have done something about this, seems to have become deaf and blind here. Instead of turning the tide, it seems to be deliberately conniving, allowing the situation to slide step by step into the abyss.
"Xiao Lizi? What kind of chess are you playing?"
Occasionally, Xiao Han would look up at the blue sky outside the courtyard and murmur a question in a low voice, but the only answer he could get was the occasional chirping of birds.
The first day of March is Grain Rain.
This year's Grain Rain did not follow the ancient saying that "it is rare to have clear weather during Qingming Festival, and it is rare to rain during Grain Rain".
Instead, God gave me a hearty spring rain starting in the afternoon.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier! From the apricot blossom rain that moistened clothes, to the light rain in Tianjie that moistened the sky, and finally to the heavy rain that completely lost all artistic conception, it seemed as if the belated rain was returning to the earth all at once.
At night, the rumbling spring thunder also came to join in the fun. In the dark night sky, from time to time, there were lightning bolts that seemed to be like dragons swimming across the sky. The strong light for a moment made everything around them pale. Like paper.
In the Ningcheng County Government Office, Xiao Han, who had already slept with his clothes on, was awakened by the spring thunder.
Looking at the bed curtain that was constantly swaying in the wind, Xiao Han struggled to get up from the bed, and then kicked the fool who was sleeping in another small bed.
The result was only a few indistinct grunts, followed closely by thunderous snoring.
"Why……"
Seeing this, Xiao Han could only sigh helplessly, holding his shoes, trying to close the window that had been blown open by the wind.
However, he never thought that as soon as he walked to the window and before his hand touched the window, he heard a burst of noisy and messy footsteps outside, approaching from far away and quickly approaching him. .
"Is there someone? It's so late, who could it be?"
Ever since he received a nearly fatal cold arrow at the top of the city last time, Xiao Han's nerves have been tense, for fear that the enemy's killer is also ambushing in this city!
So after hearing the noisy footsteps, Xiao Han immediately jumped back to the bed and stepped on the idiot as he passed by! He stepped on the idiot who was still in a sweet dream and screamed, and he jumped up from the crib!
"What's wrong, what's wrong? What happened?"
The stunned man who was woken up by being stepped on was obviously a little confused. He looked around with a pair of big innocent eyes. When he didn't find anything strange, he was about to ask Xiao Han what happened just now. Behind him, the door of the room "bang..." Suddenly, someone knocked him away.
"who!"
All of a sudden, the cold wind mixed with raindrops rushed into the house through the open door! That cold feeling instantly made him wake up completely!
Turning around suddenly, the fool did not forget to block Xiao Han with his own body, then raised his arms and chest, assuming a strange posture, and stared fiercely at the black figure standing at the door!
"Crack!"
Behind the black shadow, there happened to be a fork-shaped lightning flashing quickly, and a fleeting white light lit up, making this person look like a messenger from hell.
"Ahem, it's me!"
Finally, just when the fool was trembling and about to pull the trigger of the sleeve arrow, the black shadow spoke!
"Xiao, Xiaodong?"
Hearing this extremely familiar voice, the idiot was stunned for a moment, and then, a touch of ecstasy filled his face.
"You, why are you here!"
With his eyes widened and full of surprise, the stunned man was about to rush forward, but behind Xiaodong, another black shadow pushed him aside unceremoniously, stepped into the room, and then poured drops on his head. The wet hat was thrown away casually, revealing the pale old face underneath.
"Hua, Divine Doctor Hua, are you here too?"
"Master? Why are you here?"
With the flash of lightning, he could see this face clearly. At this time, not only Lunzi was shocked, but even Xiao Han unknowingly kicked Lunzi away and stepped forward.
"Hmph, why can't I come?"
When Old Man Hua saw Xiao Han, a happy smile appeared on his old face, but soon, he deliberately concealed it.
"Come here! Let me see where the injury is! I told you a long time ago that I won't let you show off your strength. I won't let you show off your strength! It's better now. I almost lost my life outside."
With a quick expression on his face, Old Man Hua didn't even bother to pick up the raincoat on his body. He stretched out his hand directly to take Xiao Han's pulse.
"Master, I'm fine!"
Although Old Man Hua scolded him as soon as they met, not only was Xiao Han not dissatisfied at all, there was even a faint stream of warmth flowing through him, filling his whole body with warmth. It seemed that even the air blowing in from outside the door The wind becomes gentle.
"Don't worry about me now. Take off your raincoat, idiot! Why are you still stupid? Go get some towels and make a bowl of ginger soup. Don't be afraid of catching the cold!"
He happily welcomed Old Man Hua into the house. Xiao Han did not forget to kick the wooden fool again and told him to work quickly to welcome Old Man Hua and others who came from afar.
The hot ginger soup was brought over by the wife of the fat county magistrate, and also the youngest son of the magistrate's family, the little boy named Huzi.
These days, Huzi has become familiar with Xiao Han, but after seeing so many strangers here today, Huzi became obviously more cautious and helped his mother pour the ginger soup into a big bowl. I impatiently grabbed my mother's skirt and tried to walk out.
"My lord, please use it slowly. I will leave first."
Unlike the fat county magistrate who looks stupid on the outside, his wife exudes a sense of generosity from top to bottom. Although her face can only be considered ordinary, she is known for her thoughtful etiquette and a character that is neither humble nor overbearing. .
So Xiao Han always felt that the fat county magistrate must have used some kind of ulterior secret to trick his wife back home.
