In the eyes of the people in Liuyun County, Xu Chongguang is a good official and they have great trust in him.
Therefore, after hearing the news, we also actively cooperated.
Logically speaking, when it hasn't rained for several months and the temperature is much higher than in previous years, everyone should be very happy to see a cloudy day, no, I should say a rainy day.
But when they thought about what Xu Chongguang sent people to say, everyone felt quite heavy.
The weather this year is so hot that when someone wears cloth shoes and steps on the stone slabs of the street outside, the soles of the shoes will smoke.
It is precisely because of the hot weather that everyone is hiding at home. After getting up early, they casually eat their stomachs and wait for news from the Yamen.
Sure enough, their Lord Xu did not disappoint them.
As the sky gets darker and darker, it seems like it changes directly from day to night.
It was at this moment that the drum of injustice reached their ears like the sound of nature.
Everyone is walking out in large and small bags.
Even people with handicapped legs and feet are carried by family members and put on carts to push them around.
The closer you get to the Yamen, the more people there are.
Even though the rain has not yet fallen, some people have already begun to wear raincoats and bamboo hats.
Xu Chongguang, who was always beating the drum, carried everyone on his back with great anxiety.
He didn't know how many people would come and how many would be willing to leave with him right away.
As an aspiring local official who had been brainwashed by Xie Yanzhi, he did not want to see widespread casualties among the people under his rule.
When his hands got tired and he heard the sound of running coming from everywhere, he put down the drumming stick in his hand.
Before he could turn around, Master Bai, who had been standing beside him, said softly: "Old Xu, everyone is almost here. Also, Aunt Han has already taken the lead and left with people, so don't worry."
Xu Chongguang nodded when he heard the words. When Master Bai was about to say something but stopped, he guessed what he wanted to say, so he said: "Not long after Aunt Rou came here, she has been unaccustomed to the local environment and her health is not good. If she doesn't want to leave, Just let her!"
Everyone in the county government knows that Aunt Han Han Sining is the favorite of their county magistrate.
As for the pretentious Aunt Rou who followed all the way from the capital, she has long since fallen out of favor.
Even so, no one felt sorry for Aunt Rou.
Just because she was new here and didn't want to live in the back office and had to live in an inn, no one had a good impression of her.
Not to mention, later on, while they were pretending to go to Liufeng County to investigate the situation, she sent a girl to ask for money from the wives of wealthy businessmen in the county under the pretext of celebrating their birthdays.
Aunt Han doesn't want anything, she just wants to be a good wife for Mr. Xu.
When necessary, when their adults are confused, they can also act as counselors and give their adults some advice.
Even though Aunt Rou was born in the Xu family in the capital, compared with Aunt Han, she was as good as heaven and earth.
So, if Aunt Rou doesn’t leave, then she won’t leave. If there is a way, good words cannot persuade the devil to die, and great mercy will not save others.
If you seek death, who can you blame?
Xu Chongguang has never really seen how many people there are in Liuyun County.
All he knows is a number.
Now he was standing on the steps of the Yamen, looking at the expectant faces. At that moment, he felt what it meant to be proud.
He Xie Xiandi said that as long as he is a good official and a good official in the eyes of the people, then he will be a great being and a god in the eyes of the people.
Now, he felt that this was almost the case for him.
There are so many people here, and when you look around, you can see the vast sky.
Even though the previous drought took away a lot, it left a lot behind.
There were so many people, but no one pushed or argued, or in other words, no one spoke.
They, no matter men, women, old or young, all looked in the direction where he was.
At this moment, he also fully realized what responsibility is.
It’s your responsibility as a parent!
"Thank you all fellow villagers for your trust in me! Let me make a long story short. Everyone knows that the temperature this year is much higher than in previous years. Since I came here, I have never seen a drop of rain. Before I I heard from Xie Yanzhi, also known as Xie Xiucai, that the temperature this year is abnormal and that after a severe drought, there will be severe floods, so I took it seriously."
"Xie Xiucai once pointed out several places for me. Now I will take you there. But there are so many of us that we may not be able to live in one place, so we have to separate. I will take some people, Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhao, etc. Everyone will bring some people with them, and we will be separated for the time being. I have discussed this with your security chief before, so you can just follow your security chief."
As he spoke, he thought that there might be people from the countryside who were living in the county town during this period, so he said: "If you are not from the county town, please follow the security chief of the place where you live now. In addition, the chief of the village in your village Everyone has been notified, and they will disperse when the time comes. Those who are looking for someone will find them later. Okay, that's all. The security chiefs come up here to get people first. I and a few adults Wait outside the city."
Xu Chongguang said, taking Master Bai and leaving first.
They had made arrangements two days ago to go from house to house to count the number of people in each house and whether they had any animals for transportation work.
Then we will follow this to determine who they are and where they will settle first.
In short, even if it rains heavily next moment, they have to leave immediately.
Otherwise, if you stay at home, you will just wait to be flooded!
Li Yuan didn't know that Xu Chongguang, as she expected, immediately made countermeasures after seeing the weather was wrong.
As the sky became darker and darker, she, who had been sitting in the carriage, could no longer sit still.
She sat directly on the shaft of the car, looking solemnly at the night-like sky.
Looking up at the sky, the dark clouds were dark and heavy, as if they would be suppressed in the next moment.
With a heavy heart, she stood up and held on to the carriage, shouting to Li Qinghua who was following closely behind: "Uncle Hua, the situation doesn't look good right now. We can't continue on our way, we have to find a place to shelter from the rain quickly. That's it. In this situation, the rain is heavier than expected, so even if we have raincoats and bamboo hats, we probably won't be able to do anything."
Li Qinghua thought the same way. They hadn't gone far, and it was impossible to return to the bamboo forest.
There is a stream there and there is no shelter from the rain.
And once it starts raining, it probably won't stop for a few days.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to be tough, shaking his head and refusing.
"Mother Yuan, it's better to keep walking forward. Once you stop, you won't be able to go anywhere. There are so many of us in this barren mountain. Where can we find shelter from the rain? Let's go before the rain falls. , it’s as far as you can go. Maybe it will be much better when we wait within Liufeng County!”
Li Yuan wanted to persuade her again. She always felt that the rain would be very heavy and it would be very painful if it hit people.
Even if you have a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, you still have to get wet from head to toe!
Wang Can, who followed, grabbed her sleeve and shook his head: "Sister, keep walking, don't stop!"
