Substitute Marriage Exile: The Grand Consort Cultivates the Great Northern Granary

Sang Zhixia was once a promising agricultural博士, but after a fall, she became a poor concubine forced into a substitute marriage! On her wedding day, the groom rushed into the bridal chamber an...

Chapter 751 Even if I have to leave, I will take you with me

Even though he is not in Nanyun, he still has a legitimate reason to leave Nanyun, and no one can find fault with it.

If Nanyun really fell, Qian An could also use the excuse that he did not have the ability to predict the future to completely shirk his responsibility.

As for the rest of the people he left behind at the Qian family as cover...

They were all abandoned by Qian An.

Sang Zhixia sneered, "You're indeed someone who can accomplish great things. You can even let go of your own mother."

"Why do you say that the realms we are in are so far apart?"

No matter how careful we were, we couldn't have anticipated Qian An's cruelty.

Sang Zhixia quickly suppressed the annoyance caused by her momentary negligence and said solemnly, "Let's not worry about this. Let's find another way."

"By the way, how are the hammers, chisels, and other things I asked you to find?"

"We've found everyone we can in the city. Master Chen has given us the word and they'll be here in a moment. The person over there is Miss Tian."

After the Wei family's matter was resolved, Tian Ying'er did not pursue her ambition of traveling the world with a sword. Instead, she wandered around Nanyun and occasionally went to the shop in Sanyou Trading Company to help with work.

Before learning that Sang Zhixia was looking for these things, Tian Ying'er was wearing a straw raincoat and using a wooden basin to help scoop water.

Too much rainwater accumulated and flowed down the road and back into the low places.

If the water is not scooped out in time, the entire shop will be flooded.

Sang Zhixia slowly tightened the corners of her lips and said, "Just go over there."

When the mulberry branches summer arrived, Tian Ying'er was anxiously grabbing an old man and pushing him up the higher steps.

Tian Ying'er's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Hey, old man, why don't you listen to me?"

"I told you it's wet and slippery down there, and there's even water. Why are you still messing around here? Hurry up and get out of the rain!"

The rain was so loud that even the softer voices could not be heard at all.

Therefore, even from a distance, Sang Zhixia could hear Tian Ying'er yelling, "If you don't obey me and jump down, I'm going to tie you up!"

"Hurry up and hide!"

The old man, who was in his twilight years, was both anxious and aggrieved. He said with a sad face, "But it's my house that's been flooded..."

"My wife is..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll throw her up there with you. Just stay still!"

Tian Ying'er did what she said. She grabbed an old lady who was running with a wooden basin, and carried her like a sack and pushed her to the old man's side.

"Everyone, get inside and hide!"

"There are so many people outside, we don't need you to cause trouble!"

Tian Ying'er was so full of energy, but unfortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, the rain that had been stopped with great difficulty began to pour down again.

Tian Ying'er didn't bother to say anything more. She quickly grabbed the wooden basin and waded through the water and ran to the door.

The old couple's cottage was right next to the road, and they had to walk down five or six steps along the road to reach their doorstep.

But now the rain keeps falling, and if the accumulated water in front of the door is not scooped out in time, the water will rush into the house.

The wooden basin was waving in the stagnant water so fast that it almost left an afterimage. The people soaking in the water were sweating profusely, and white steam came out of their mouths as soon as they opened their mouths.

Sang Zhixia noticed that the people around her were dressed strangely, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is this... from Xuantian Pavilion?"

"Are they all here?"

Seeing Sang Zhixia coming over, the shop manager wiped his sweat and nodded, "Yes."

"Miss Tian knew we were shorthanded, so she went back and called everyone she could, and they're all here to help!"

Most of the streets in Nanyun City are of this structure.

In order to facilitate the movement of huge carriages and horses to transport goods, the street is much higher than the houses on the roadside.

Normally there is no problem, but once it rains, the rain will flow down both sides of the road.

Most of the shops in the business community also encountered this trouble, and the households living close to the street could not avoid it either, and were all busy scooping water out.

Tian Ying'er brought a lot of people with her. Seeing that the shop was temporarily safe, they began to take the initiative to help the people nearby scoop water.

The cold-blooded killer who was portrayed as a supernatural being in folk stories and killed countless people was wearing a black cloth robe that kept strangers away. Now, each of them held a wooden basin or bucket, and they stood on both sides of the road, frantically scooping water.

There is no sight of the flashing swords and the high-spirited spirit of revenge as described in the legends of the Jianghu people. It is as if they were an old farmer who had accidentally wandered into a plowing field and was busy as a thief.

Sang Zhixia's throat felt a little dry, so she waded over and called out, "Ying'er!"

Tian Ying'er looked up and saw Sang Zhixia, and was immediately startled: "Sister, why are you here?!"

"It's not safe here, leave now!"

Tian Ying'er threw the wooden basin and ran towards Sang Zhixia quickly, her face pale with anxiety: "Sister, come with me, we can't stay here!"

Before Sang Zhixia could react, Tian Ying'er grabbed her wrist and in the blink of an eye, she was dragged onto the road where the water was flooded up to her calves.

"It's raining so hard! I heard something might happen. Take Xu Mingyang and the others away!"

Tian Ying'er said without hesitation: "Leave Nanyun immediately!"

"quick!"

Sang Zhixia felt a lump in her throat and laughed, "I'll take them with me, what about you?"

"I'm fine!"

Tian Ying'er said decisively: "We dare not say anything else, but Qinggong is definitely the result of risking our lives to practice it."

"If we really can't survive, we can just grab some dry food for three to five days and lie down on the roof of a tall tree. We can survive. We run fast!"

Compared to ordinary people, their movements are more than twice as fast.

Even if you encounter danger, you can retreat in time.

But now...

Tian Ying'er knew that Sang Zhixia had just returned from Nandukou, so she gritted her teeth and said, "If this rain continues, we won't be able to stay in the city until tomorrow."

"Just a few moments ago, I saw broken porcelain, iron nails, and large wooden sticks floating in many places. These things are hidden under the muddy water and can't be seen at all. If you wade in the water like this, you might get hurt by something. These things are really deadly!"

Tian Ying'er was about to push Sang Zhixia onto the carriage as she spoke: "While the wheels are only half submerged and the carriage can still move, let's go now!"

"Leave without looking back!"

Tian Ying'er originally wanted to follow the same procedure of throwing the old man and woman up the stairs and directly stuff Sang Zhixia into the car.

I didn't expect Sang Zhixia to look so thin and weak. I tried but it didn't work!

Tian Ying'er looked at Sang Zhixia in surprise as she held her hand in return. She heard Sang Zhixia say, "We're all here now. I won't leave for now."

"But……"

"Even if I have to leave, I will take you with me."

Sang Zhixia winked and smiled, "Will you come with me?"

Tian Ying'er didn't even struggle, she just shook her head and said, "I'm not leaving."

"I don't think it's the worst yet. Maybe there are other solutions."

At least it is just about to be flooded now. What if the rain stops and it doesn’t flood?

Sang Zhixia sighed silently, looked at Tian Ying'er's hands that were white and wrinkled from being soaked, and said, "Then let's think of a solution together before we have to escape."
