Little Xingxing heard the news about the fire in Chu Mohan's backyard from Mo Yu's mouth.
It is said that the concubine named Dongxue, who had a similar temperament to Su Yirou, fell in love with a guard in the palace, but something went wrong and Su Yirou caught her.
Su Yirou was smart enough not to make a big deal out of this matter, but directly asked Chu Mohan to find it.
Dongxue kept complaining, saying that Su Yirou framed her.
After Chu Mohan investigated, he found that it was true that she and the guard met behind the rockery. The final result was that both Dongxue and the guard were secretly executed.
And that night.
Chu Mohan summoned the vernal equinox to attend his bed.
Little Xingxing asked, "What then?"
"I heard from the Black Eagle guy that Su Yirou's expression changed immediately, but His Highness Prince Jing also comforted her, saying that she had been poisoned before and her body had not recovered, so he did not allow her to serve in the room, and he also warned her carefully and considerately.
, let her take good care of herself."
"..." Little Xingxing could almost imagine Su Yirou's mood of vomiting blood.
It seems that Chu Mohan is suspicious of Su Yirou.
Otherwise, why would he hit her in the face in this way? It hurt her and made her unable to respond.
"What the hell is going on with that winter snow?"
"She probably really had an affair with that guard, otherwise Chu Mohan wouldn't have been able to execute her."
Yes! Chu Mohan is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
However, she was more inclined to believe that it was Su Yirou who discovered that there was something going on between Dong Xue and the guards, so he set her up to expose the matter. This not only dealt with a potential love rival, but also showed her face in front of Chu Mohan to please him.
Unfortunately.
The only thing she miscalculated was Chu Mohan's attitude towards her.
She reminded Chu Mohan before to be careful about Su Yirou.
It seemed that Chu Mohan finally listened to her words.
...The capital city, which has been in drought for a long time, has been unusually hot these past two days.
After a stormy night.
Dark clouds came down layer upon layer, and before dawn, it finally began to rain heavily in the capital, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and accompanied by strong winds.
The rain under the eaves almost formed a line.
The hot air was instantly dispersed by the rain.
Little Xingxing stood under the eaves with her clothes on, and the tension in her heart finally relaxed, "God, it's raining."
"Yeah yeah."
Lu'er stretched out her hand to catch the rainwater flowing from the eaves, her face full of excitement, "I haven't seen rain for a long time. I heard that the Lianhua River in the capital is going to dry up, but it is raining. According to the intensity of the rain, it won't take a long time."
In time, the drought will be alleviated."
"Um."
Heavy rain usually stops quickly.
However.
The heavy rain lasted all day and night.
After one day and one night, the heavy rain turned into moderate rain, but showed no sign of stopping. The rainwater under the eaves could not flow enough and poured into the house one after another.
Fortunately, the house Xiaoxing bought has a small river.
The boys braved the rain and dug a groove to dredge the water, allowing the rainwater to flow along the groove to the river.
Two more days passed.
Little Xingxing saw that the river was full, but the rain still did not stop, and then she realized the seriousness of the matter, "It must be flooded."
Mo Yu told her, "It's indeed flooded. The water in the moat is overflowing. The situation on Zhengyang Street is higher, but the terrain on West Street is lower. Many people's houses are flooded with water, and the water in their houses is up to their ankles."
Already."
"..." Little Xingxing took a breath, "Where are other places?"
"I heard it's not optimistic."
In ancient times, people relied on the weather for food. There was a severe drought and then heavy rain in the north. I am afraid that the situation this year will not be optimistic.
Don't talk about the people.
Even little Xingxing's life has been seriously affected.
Ancient houses were not very waterproof and moisture-proof. After several days of rain, the bedding in the house was stained with moisture, and the quilt covering the body was damp and sticky.
After the rain, the temperature suddenly dropped. Covered with a damp quilt at night, Little Xingxing woke up from the cold several times during the night. Finally, she finally caught a cold.
A cold is a trivial matter.
The most important thing is that she just bought her house and the firewood she stocked is not enough. Even cooking has become a problem these days, so Mo Yu can only spend money to buy firewood.
But it rained every day, and the firewood I bought was all wet, so it couldn't be burned at all.
Little Xingxing was forced to do nothing, so she took a duvet from the space, wrapped herself in the quilt and drank medicine on the bed. People are more fragile when they are sick.
this moment.
Little Xingxing misses gas stoves, induction cookers, and all modern conveniences. She also crazily misses her parents, uncles, and brothers and sisters.
She lowered her head.
She looked at the green bracelet on her wrist and gently turned it. The pattern on the bracelet was simple, but she had never seen it before.
When will she find her way home?
"I really want to go home."
"I'm afraid this won't be easy."
"..." Little Xingxing turned around and saw Chu Li pushing the wheelchair into the house openly. He casually put the packed oil-paper umbrella at the door, but the moon-white brocade robe was still stained with a lot of moisture.
"Why did you come here when it's raining?"
"I heard you caught the cold, come here and have a look."
He pushed the wheelchair to the bedside and saw Little Xingxing wrapped in a quilt of a style he had never seen before. His eyes flashed slightly, "Is it cold? Wrapped like this?"
"Of course it's the cold that's why you're wrapped up like this."
"..." Chu Li stepped forward and reached out to probe her forehead. Little Xingxing dodged instinctively, but her movements were not as fast as Chu Li's. Even though she moved back, Chu Li still probed her head.
"No fever."
"It's just a runny nose and sneezing, nothing serious."
Chu Li took his hand back and asked, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"After taking it, the most important thing I don't lack here is medicine."
"Um."
Chu Li pushed the wheelchair to the table and poured her a glass of warm water, "Drink more hot water when you are sick."
"..."Drink more hot water.
The corner of Little Star's mouth twitched.
It turns out that men from ancient times to the present have believed that hot water is omnipotent.
However, her hands and feet did feel cold, so she took the cup and put it in her palms to warm her hands, "The weather has suddenly gotten colder. It feels like it's at least fifteen degrees lower than before when it didn't rain."
"Fifteen...degrees?"
"Hahaha."
Little Xingxing laughed dryly, "I mean, it feels a lot colder all of a sudden, like late autumn."
"..." Chu Li looked at her deeply and didn't ask anything.
Little Xingxing wiped her cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered something and asked Chu Li unhappily, "You just said it was not easy for me to go home. Why did you say that?"
Chu Li's face didn't change, "It's raining heavily and the road is muddy. Even if you find your home, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back."
That's what it meant.
She almost thought Chu Li had discovered something.
"There's one more thing I want to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Recent floods have caused many dams on the Yellow River to be washed away. It is said that officials cut corners when repairing the dams in previous years. Now many people have been affected by the disaster. The emperor is furious. After the rain stops this time, the court may be in chaos."
He reminded Little Xingxing, "Chaos in the court is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity!"
