With this in mind, she waited for Li Qinghua to arrive and told him what Zhang Cong said.
At the end of the sentence, she suggested: "Uncle Hua, ask everyone if you have any extra oilcloth at home. If so, borrow it. We still have three hundred people who have no place to live. They all live in carriages or carriage shafts." I can't lie down, so I can only sit up. It's really uncomfortable in this weather. I still have some tarpaulins here. You can ask everyone to cut down some trees and we can use the tarpaulins to build a greenhouse, so that people can still live in it."
"The greenhouse is good for shelter from the rain, but it's wet everywhere and there's no way to lie down..."
When Li Qinghua said this, he knew what Li Yuan meant as soon as he thought about it, and saw that he changed the topic: "Yuan Niang, what do you want, cut some trees and spread them underneath, and then everyone can drain the water from their raincoats and spread them out." On top, let everyone take out the straw mats we prepared earlier, and then we can sleep on the top, right?"
"Yes! Uncle Hua, what do you think of this? In front of the three large caves, we will build three greenhouses, but you have to arrange who will live in the carriages and who will live in the greenhouses. We will take the extra greenhouses Stop these cows and horses.”
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements! By the way, Yuan Niang, you have to take out that oilcloth first."
"good!"
Li Yuan's oilcloths were not only bought by Xie Yanzhi during the first month of the year, but also those she later stocked up, but they were all kept in the space.
It's just that she couldn't take it all out at once, otherwise people would wonder how her carriage could possibly hold so many things if it was so big.
What she took out now, she planned to let Li Qinghua keep it when the time came, and see who would arrange it.
After arriving in Linfeng County, she could just take out some more in the name of collecting supplies!
The people in Lijia'ao moved very quickly. Under the arrangements of Li Qinghua, the elders of the Li clan, and Zhang Cong, everyone performed their duties.
Who lives where, who cuts down trees, who cooks, who helps Dr. Liu take care of the injured, who helps make medicine, etc.
Bai Yan came back after midnight. He was able to find him because Zhou Zi, Zhou Chou and others were worried and went to the official road to guard him.
As soon as he came back, Li Yuan, who was sleeping in the carriage with Wang Can, heard the noise.
The two of them, including Li Qinghua and Zhang Cong, were very alert and got up immediately.
Zhang Cong was not familiar with Bai Yan. Seeing that he was dripping with water and panting, he asked: "Little brother, are you back from Liuyun County? What's the situation over there now? People in the city , have everyone made arrangements to leave? And what’s the situation with the casualties?”
Even though Bai Yan is young and capable, this trip really exhausted him.
He didn't say anything, he just took the bowl handed over by Li Yuan at some point, glanced at the contents in the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp without asking a question.
After resting for a while and recovering, he said: "It started raining and hailing halfway along the way. When I arrived at the county seat, the city gate was wide open and there was no one in the city. I thought it was Due to my own misunderstanding, I searched for a few houses and went to the Yamen again, and it was the same. When I was about to leave, I suddenly heard crying and cursing. Then I went to look for it, only to find that there was still one house left in the city. This person is Mr. Xu’s concubine, Aunt Rou.”
Zhang Cong felt relieved when he heard what he said.
It seems that the lord has taken the people away, so that’s fine, it won’t be in vain for him to listen to Xie Xiandi and follow him!
Bai Yan continued: "I heard the meaning from Aunt Rou's words. Master Xu took the people away early in the morning. I didn't know which city gate they left from, so I just found one at random. I was lucky, really. I caught up with him. But when I arrived, the situation there was not good. Many people were either killed or knocked unconscious or injured. Everyone was walking numbly in the rain. I heard that Mr. Xu was also injured by the hail. , lying in the carriage and unable to get up. The person I saw was their master, so I gave him the things and came back."
Speaking of coming back, Bai Yan also had a sense of powerlessness against natural disasters in his eyes.
"The return trip was not smooth. There was too much rain. Liuyun County is low-lying and the river water rose very quickly. It seemed that the rainwater from the surrounding mountains was collecting there."
Everyone can guess the following words without him having to say them.
Li Qinghua's eyes were swollen. He didn't even need to look, he knew that their Li family was gone!
He felt uncomfortable and was not in the mood to listen anymore, so he said to Bai Yan: "Have a good rest when you come back. We will stay in this cave for two more days before leaving."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Yuan: "Mother Yuan, do you have any dry food?"
"Uncle Hua, my baby left some food for Bai Yan before. It's in a bowl and wrapped in a quilt in my carriage. It should still be warm now."
"Okay, then go get it and rest early."
"good!"
That night, maybe because they felt that their safety was guaranteed, the people in Lijia'ao, including Zhang Cong and the others, all slept extremely soundly.
When everyone woke up, the rain was still not letting up. The light outside was a little brighter, but not too bright.
It's like what it looks like after the sun sets in the evening and the sky starts to get dark.
Everyone had nothing to do except eat. They were worried about when the rain would start and whether it would rain so hard in other places.
In the evening, some brave people gathered together and walked out of the stone mountain. When they arrived at the official road station and looked toward Liuyun County in the distance, they immediately covered their faces and cried bitterly.
Liuyun County is gone!
Looking around, there is a vast ocean!
Everyone cried there for a while, and then walked back with dejected faces.
"Chief/Clan Chief, Liuyun County is gone, our family is gone..."
When they came back and saw Li Qinghua finish speaking these words, many of them burst into tears at that moment.
There were those who didn't believe it, murmuring that it was impossible, how could it be gone in just two days? After that, they didn't even bother to put on their coir raincoats and hats, and just ran all the way to the official road to take a look.
When I saw that there was only water in the once prosperous Liuyun County, and the waterfall hanging upstream seemed to be discharging all the water from Liufeng County to Liuyun County, my eyes turned red with hatred.
But they also understand that their hatred is unreasonable. Even if there is no water upstream, Liuyun County will still be flooded with the current rain.
But they need an outlet and someone they can blame.
Blame God?
Complain!
So what if I just complain?
Then we can only blame the dog officials of Liufeng County. If it were not like the diba, no matter how miserable Liuyun County was, we would not be able to see nothing so quickly.
They are all officials, so why is the magistrate of Liuyun County so good?
First, Mr. Chen, and then Mr. Xu, all of them are good officials who care about the people. However, in the upper reaches of Liuyun County, there is a dog official.
