Chapter 117 Road Collapse
Not to mention the officials like Hu Weiwei, even Lu Jingxing admired her very much, not to mention the people in the second house.
"Miss Yue, how did you know it would rain?" Lu Jingxing came to Yue Fuli with a bowl of rice and couldn't help asking.
He thought he was quite knowledgeable, but when he looked at it in the afternoon, he didn't see that it would rain.
When he couldn't even see it, Yue Fuli was so sure it would rain. To be honest, if it were him, he might not believe it.
It was also thanks to Hu Weiwei and other officials who always trusted her, otherwise they might not have been able to escape this heavy rain.
"There are only two ways to know it's going to rain. One is by watching, and the other is by calculating. Which one do you think I am?" Yue Fuli replied with a smile.
"Calculated it?" Lu Jingxing was a little unconvinced.
"What do you think?" Yue Fuli patted Lu Jingxing's shoulder, but smiled without saying anything.
Lu Jingxing looked at the hand that patted his shoulder, his eyes dark, "When did you become a charlatan? How come I didn't know?"
"There are so many things you don't know. Follow me closely, and you'll find out my abilities are far greater than you can imagine."
Yue Fuli really wanted to keep Lu Jingxing, but she also knew that he was not an ordinary person. Unless he could be truly convinced by someone as knowledgeable as him, he might not be willing to stay.
The reason he followed her now was because he owed her a life-saving favor. When the favor was gone, he would still leave.
Therefore, she must conquer him before he repays her kindness, so that he will be willing to serve her in the future.
After hearing what Yue Fuli said, Lu Jingxing did not answer, but looked at her deeply.
Yes, Yue Fuli did have some abilities, but not enough for him to follow. A master like Lu Jingxing must not only be capable, but also strategic, tolerant, and able to judge people.
Yue Fuli knew what Lu Jingxing's reaction was and didn't say anything more.
After dinner, everyone took a rest and fell asleep in a short while.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside. Although the sun had not yet risen, I could still tell that it would not rain today.
Looking at the firewood that was still mostly gone, everyone couldn't help but wonder. They wondered if Yue Fuli had misjudged them yesterday. It clearly wasn't raining today, so what were they going to do with all the firewood left? They couldn't just take it all away.
Yes, it is true that some of their horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts are empty at this moment, but they are meant for people to sit in. They can't let the elderly and children walk just to load firewood, right?
Just as everyone was muttering, Yue Fuli spoke directly and said to Hu Wei, "Hutou, send a few people to the front to see if the road is clear."
"Okay, I understand." Hu Wei nodded without asking any more questions. He knew that since Yue Fuli said that, there must be a reason.
Sure enough, when the people he sent out came back, Hu Wei knew why Yue Fuli asked people to explore the way.
"Miss Yue, about ten miles ahead, there's a section of road that's collapsed due to heavy rain, so we can't get through for now."
"In that case, let's stay here for another day. It won't be too late to leave once the road is open."
"That's all we can do."
After learning that they would have to stay in the cave for another day due to the road collapse, everyone looked at the remaining firewood and fell into deep thought. As expected, they shouldn't have doubted Yue Fuli; everything she did made sense.
