Pingyang County is a sub-county of Tianhai City. Like the rest of Tianhai City, it is a southern city. Although it is almost November, at this time in previous years, the weather was still very warm. You only need to use a thin film to sleep at night. With your belly covered, you can survive safely.
The temperature dropped sharply in the middle of the night. The people in Tianhai City did not react and froze to death in their sleep.
In fact, when Leng Lanzhi asked Lin Weiyang to collect materials for disaster relief, he had already issued an edict through the princess office, ordering the new county governor to issue an early warning to prevent the temperature from falling in winter, so that all the people could take precautions in advance.
It's a pity that Tianhai City is like spring all year round, so such early warnings are like jokes, and few people take them to heart.
And even if people take it seriously and have thick quilts and thick clothes at home, they cannot buy more quilts and clothes while sleeping.
Fortunately, Pingyang County is a county seat with easy access in all directions, and the snowfall near the county seat only lasted for two days before stopping, so traffic was able to resume quickly.
Prices in the city have fluctuated, but food prices have only more than doubled, which is still within what the people can afford.
But Fucheng, dozens of miles away, was not so lucky. The snowfall lasted for seven days, making it almost impossible for carriages and horses to move. It took three full days just to clear a road that could smoothly enter and leave the city.
What's worse is that Tianhai City is not a flat plain city. There are many mountain villages nearby. It is said that the roads in and out of many mountain villages have also been blocked this time, and the casualties are incalculable.
Lin Weiyang's accident happened when he was hit by a sudden snowfall when he was going to a mountain village and was sealed on a mountain.
It's a pity that Leng Lanzhi has too little information. I don't know what happened to Lin Weiyang, let alone why he appeared in a mountain village when he was out processing the collected materials.
Leng Lanzhi stood on a mountain road, frowning.
In front of her was a mountainous area with six villages in it.
The place she was standing at this time was the only way into the mountains. No matter which village she was in, if she wanted to go out of the mountains to Pingyang County or the county town, she had to take this road.
But at this time, this road is blocked!
Perhaps because of the relatively high terrain, the snowfall on this road is much thicker than elsewhere. The further you go, the thicker the snow becomes.
The most important thing is that the mountain roads on both sides collapsed for unknown reasons, and the road into the mountain was completely blocked!
In fact, not only was the road into the mountain blocked, the snow on the road from Pingyang County to the foot of the mountain was very thick, and no one was clearing it at all.
If her personal guards hadn't come to Tianhai City two days in advance and opened a road early, she wouldn't have been able to get here.
Leng Lanzhi was anxious and angry: "Who do these villages belong to? Why has it been so long and no one has come to deal with it?"
"Xiliu County is the most severely affected area in Tianhai City. There are 28 villages in total, all of which have been affected by the snow disaster. Hundreds of people have frozen to death in the county seat alone, and countless people have suffered from frostbite and frostbite. Count, it must be that the county government hasn’t had time to deal with it yet.”
She had clearly given advance warning, yet she still caused such serious casualties!
A surge of anger surged in her chest, but she suppressed it again.
Things have already happened, and there is no point in getting angry. You can only try your best to make up for it.
Whether it was for the safety of the people in the villages in the mountains or to find Lin Weiyang as soon as possible, the top priority was to clear this road.
Fortunately, she came out with enough people this time, otherwise, she could only look at the mountains and sigh.
"Zhang Yang."
A young man wearing a white outfit stepped forward: "Princess."
Leng Lanzhi pointed to the blocked mountain road in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Let people prepare tools to open this road as soon as possible."
"yes."
Snow started to fall from the sky again, and the snowflakes fell one after another. The snowflakes were not very heavy, but in the sight of white snow, the snowflakes falling from the sky were really hard to appreciate.
Seeing Leng Lanzhi's expression full of worry, Gu Zhan said: "Although several days have passed, people have food in their homes during the winter, and people in the village stock up on cabbage, radishes and other vegetables. Food shortages should not happen for the time being. Princess, don’t worry too much.”
Leng Lanzhi smiled bitterly: "What I am worried about is not that they will starve to death, but that they will freeze to death."
Most people in the south do not prepare winter coats and quilts at home. After this natural disaster, no one knows how many people will freeze to death.
Especially for people in the mountains, who are far away from the county town. Although they may have received the call to prepare winter clothes, it is difficult to say whether anyone will comply.
It's just that it's useless to say anything right now. We can only wait for the mountain road to be opened before dealing with things in the mountains.
The most important thing is to find Lin Weiyang!
The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and Gu Zhan tried his best to persuade her to go back and wait for news. Leng Lanzhi also felt that she could not help much by staying. Moreover, if she got sick and had to involve others to take care of her, she could only first go back and wait for the news. Returned to Pingyang County.
Before she went into the mountains, Wu Shangshu had already arrived in Pingyang County. She didn't know how his disaster relief work was carried out, so she could go back and have a look.
When the two returned to Pingyang County, the sky had already darkened.
When passing an alley, Gu Zhan's expression suddenly changed.
An angry "stop" sound was heard, and the next second, a dozen men wearing coarse cloth servant clothes ran out of the alley.
These people all carried sticks in their hands and looked fierce.
Two young men and women walked out of the alley. The man among them, Leng Lanzhi, did not recognize her. What was strange was that he stared at her as if he were looking at the enemy who killed his father.
As for the other person, Leng Lanzhidao knew her, and it was Du Lizhen who she had always had trouble with along the way.
Du Lizhen said with contempt and disgust on her face: "Shui Linglong, how dare you come back?"
"Why don't I dare?" Leng Lanzhi's gaze passed over the servants and finally settled on the pair of young men: "Are you Shui Wenbin's son?"
Shui Wenbin and his wife gave birth to a boy and a girl, and the man in front of him had some similarities with Shui Chen.
Moreover, when she first came to Pingyang County, the only ones who had conflicts were the Du family caravan and the Shui family.
The identity of this person is naturally easy to guess.
Shui Haoyan's eyes were filled with astonishment. He didn't expect that his cousin, who was always bullied by him in his memory, would be so beautiful now.
Seeing Shui Haoyan stunned, like a pervert reincarnated, Du Lizhen almost died of anger: "Shui Haoyan, are you stupid? She sent your mother to prison! She is your enemy!"
Shui Haoyan finally came back to his senses: "Oh, right!"
His expression changed, and he said with an arrogant look: "Wild girl, follow me to the county government office to withdraw the lawsuit."
Leng Lanzhi remembered the description of Shui Linglong in the information.
When she was young, the Shui girl grew up under the bullying of the Shui family.
Among them, the ones who bullied her the most were Shui Wenbin's children.
Especially Shui Wenbin's daughter, she was directly used as a tool. Not only did Shui Linglong do all the work for her, she even let Shui Linglong crawl on the ground and ride her as a horse in her spare time.
And Shui Haoyan, his cousin, is the accomplice!
"It's impossible to withdraw the lawsuit." Leng Lanzhi said lightly: "But if you really miss your mother, I don't mind sending you in to stay with her."
