Gu Lan and Xiang Yunjin looked at each other and finally understood why the shop owner's daughter was acting abnormally.

The pain of losing a son and losing a husband at the same time is indeed not something that ordinary people can endure. Those who are a little weaker will have problems.

No wonder the shopkeeper opened a shop and wore the worst burlap clothes. Gulan not only lamented the impermanence of life, but where is this winding mountain?

"Dad" An An was also a little frightened. She looked at her father uneasily, vaguely feeling that what happened just now was all because of his words.

"It's okay. The aunt just now was sick. She won't be like this anymore when she recovers. Don't be afraid. Be good and keep eating. The food is almost cold." Gu Lan stroked his son's hair and comforted him softly.

"Yeah." An An always listened to her mother's words. If her mother said it's okay, it must be okay. The little guy felt relieved and immediately put the matter behind him and started eating.

The shopkeeper who entered the kitchen on the other side soon came out with a plate of dishes, which turned out to be a plate of stir-fried meat. After the dishes were brought out, Gulan did not refuse anymore, but ordered two more lotus leaf chickens and twenty white flour steamed buns.

take away.

As for the shopkeeper's daughter, Lan'er, she was locked in the room after she returned to the room. The shopkeeper's wife was watching her, and she would only be released when she regained consciousness.

Alas! What a poor man.

A meal of more than 400 yuan is neither cheap nor expensive. After all, prices have skyrocketed after a drought. Pork alone costs 341 pounds. The owner also gave away a few buckets of water, as well as resting in the open space.

The Li family also gave away several buckets of well water for free.

As for others, under the guidance of the shop owner, there is a stream far south of the shop. Those who need water can go there.

After another half-hour rest after the meal, the team left here.

Just like this, we walked along the official road. An hour later, the team stopped again at the place where they were supposed to cross the mountain road. The roadside was full of dense rocks.

The mountain road that should have been smooth was actually blocked by rocks and mud that had fallen down from the mountain. At this moment, a team of people were busy in front of the blocked mountain road.

Depending on the situation, we are trying to clear the road, but looking at the road mixed with dirt, trees and boulders, it is really not possible to clear the road in a short time.

The unknown villagers behind also stopped.

"That's it?" Li Mu's father loudly asked the person in front of him.

"The road is blocked" someone replied.

After hearing this answer, more people squeezed forward, and then they saw that the road was really blocked, covered with mud, stones and trees. It was obviously a disaster caused by the rain two days ago.

This kind of disaster is nothing new. Whenever there is too much rain, it will easily cause rocks to slide when the mountains are washed away.

It's just that when I met them this time, I felt really bad.

Everyone didn't know what to do for a moment, and they all turned their attention to the village chief at the front. At this time, only the village chief could make up his mind.

What ideas can you have in this situation? Either follow the group in front of you and move rocks to clear the way, or find another way out.

However, the former seems to be more difficult. After all, the extent of the road blockage is really hard to see, which also means that the access time is uncertain.

As for the latter, it is not easy to find another way. This is a strange place, and they are blind. Apart from the official road, they don't know the other road conditions at all.

If you take the wrong path or enter the path of death, it is also a waste of time.

Village Chief Li was really in a dilemma for a while and needed to discuss with the villagers before making a decision.

Looking at the carriages on the side of the road and the people cleaning the road, Gu Lan recognized at a glance the lady from a wealthy family who had set out the day before them.

The fate is really deep. I thought we would never meet again, but we didn't expect to meet again in just one day.

At the same time, Guo Yi, who was clearing the road, also discovered Gu Lan and his party.

At a glance, he saw the barefoot village doctor standing in the middle who saved the young lady, but he didn't think it was the barefoot village doctor. How could he relieve the young lady's illness so quickly?

Suddenly there were so many people, and Guo Yi couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. If these people came to help together, the speed would be different.

"Miss, there are a lot of people coming from behind," Hongshao, who was helping the lady pour tea, accidentally saw the crowd outside the car window and couldn't help but tell the lady.

Hearing this, Wen Ai looked out through the car window. Sure enough, there were a lot more people, no less than a few hundred by visual inspection. They felt a bit familiar, very similar to the group of people they had seen when they left that day.

What a coincidence, we met here again, Wen Ai thought.

"Miss, I think I saw the doctor who rescued the young lady. He was in the crowd." Hong Yao couldn't help but said in surprise.

It was really him. This doctor who called himself the barefoot village doctor was a very eye-catching presence in the crowd.

Somehow, although there were a lot of people, people could see him first in the crowd. Different from the anxious reactions of others, the doctor's face was cold and calm, as if the difficulties in front of him were nothing. As for him,

Although the tall man next to him was quite conspicuous, he was deliberately ignored by Wen Ai.

"Miss, Chief Guo has passed by," Hong Yao shouted again. She received a light look from her own lady. When she realized what she was doing, she immediately covered her mouth and forgot about it again.

At this moment, Guo Yi was already standing in front of Gu Lan and others.

"Life is full of encounters. I didn't expect to meet the doctor here again." Guo Yi cupped his fists and saluted.

I have a certain fondness for the young doctor who saved the young lady, and I sighed with a hint of gratitude.

"Yes, we are really destined." Gu Lan returned the gift and said with a smile.

"Look at the traffic jam on this road." Gu Lan looked at the group of people working in front of him.

Guo Yi nodded, this was where he was worried.

When they arrived yesterday, they were blocked by this road. Except for the lady and two maids, everyone else was digging the road. After working for so long, they only dug out the tip of the iceberg, and they were worried.

Of course, you can change the road, but either the road is too narrow for carriages to pass, or it is unsafe.

I have repeatedly considered that this is the most suitable path for the safety of the young lady, so I can only try it first, and if it doesn't work, try another path.

Guo Yi: "But I'm really happy to see the doctor. I wonder if we can work together. Everyone is adding fuel to the fire. With your participation, maybe we can dig it out quickly. That's right..."

"Secretary Guo" Hong Yao's loud voice came from the carriage in the distance, interrupting Guo Yi's words.

In the carriage, Hong Shao almost couldn't help holding her forehead in response to Hong Yao's loud voice. She couldn't get out of the car and walked a few more steps to speak softly. What a good-natured girl this girl is! It meant she was lucky enough to meet a young lady.

Wen Ai skillfully covered her ears with her sleeves, with a helpless smile on her lips. Although she screamed, it was undeniable that since she had this girl, her surroundings had become much livelier.

Here Guo Yi nodded to Gu Lan and quickly walked towards the carriage.

"Miss" Guo Yi shouted respectfully.

"I have heard what you said. You tell them that anyone who is willing to dig out one hundred articles a day." A voice that was light and naturally sweet came from the carriage.

Guo Yi: "Miss, is this..."

"Just do it." There was no hesitation in his words.

"Yes" swallowing the words that the wages were too high, Guo Yi respectfully accepted the order.

"Miss, is this salary too high?" Hong Shao said carefully. As a first-class maid, she and Hong Yao only received one tael of silver a month and only more than thirty taels of silver a day. This price made her feel uncomfortable.

I want to dig a road.
