Chapter 439 House Collapses

Because the road was difficult to travel, it took two hours to cover a distance of only twenty li.

Li Juan and her daughter, who were rescued by Bai Ming on the road, lived in Xinju Village, not far from the official road outside Mocheng.

The carriage stopped beside the official road outside Shinjuku Village.

At this time, Li's mother had already woken up. Although she was still very weak, she had at least been saved.

Li Juan knelt down in front of the convoy to thank everyone.

As soon as she finished thanking them and stood up, she saw two people rushing out of the village, and she could vaguely hear cries from the village.

Li Juan quickly went to greet her.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao, what's wrong? Where are you going?"

The two men stopped immediately upon hearing Li Juan's voice.

"Sister Li Jiajuan, what are you doing here?"

Where is your mother?

Didn't you go to Liancheng to find your brother and sister-in-law?

"Why did you come back in the middle of the night, in this freezing weather?"

Li Juan sighed softly.

"Uncle Zhao, this is a long story, I'll tell you about it later."

I carried my mother down first. On the way back, my mother fell ill, and these benefactors helped her get medicine and even gave us a ride.

otherwise........................"

Li Juan burst into tears as she spoke.

"Otherwise, my mother might have frozen to death in the snow."

"By the way, Uncle Zhao, where are you all going?"

Uncle Zhao glanced into the village.

"Alas! The snow is too heavy, and the Wu family's house has collapsed."

Old Wu's leg was broken, and there's no doctor in the village, so we were thinking of seeing if we could go to the city to find one.

"Old Man Wu?" Li Juan was taken aback.

"Uncle Zhao, wasn't Old Man Wu's house only built a few years ago? How did it collapse?"

I remember it was Old Wu's daughter-in-law who commissioned the construction.

Uncle Zhao sighed.

"Sigh! It makes me angry just thinking about it. Their daughter-in-law is a real scoundrel. The house she built was so shoddy; she didn't even put any rice flour in it."

They just used mud bricks to make it look like that, and then plastered another layer of mud on the outside. You couldn't tell at all how the inner walls were built.

"Miss Li Juan, what's wrong? Do you need any help?" Seeing that Li Juan hadn't left, Bai Ming and Zhou Mingxin came over to check on the situation.

Li Juan explained the situation, and Bai Ming glanced at Zhou Mingxin.

“Mingxin, they can’t find a doctor in the middle of the night. Why don’t you take Aunt Su and the others into the city first, and I’ll go and take a look.”

At this moment, Zhou Mingcheng also came over.

“Brother Bai, I’ll go with you. Mingxin, you take Mother and Ningbao into the city.”

As soon as Zhou Mingcheng finished speaking, Ning Bao poked her head out of the carriage and called out,

"Senior Brother, come here for a moment."

Bai Ming heard the shout and quickly went over.

"Senior Brother, I sense an unusual aura emanating from those two people. I'll go with you; otherwise, I'm worried."

Although Su Jingshu, who was inside the carriage, did not want her daughter to go, she knew that Ning Bao must have her own mission, and that her daughter was indeed capable and had the ability to protect herself.

Su Jingshu took out a large, thick cloak and handed it to Bai Ming.

"It's cold here, so this was made especially for you. Wearing it will also keep you and Ningbao from the wind."

The cloaks were made by Su Jingshu with Su Mama and the maids when they had nothing to do on the road. Not only Bai Ming had one, but both Zhou Mingcheng and his brother also had one.
