Chapter 115 Regret
Mo Yunyue was ordered by Bai Ruolian to guard outside the tent. Listening to the noises inside, he felt a surge of humiliation in his heart.
He clutched the letter in his sleeve.
She decided to cooperate with Xiao Congyan, perhaps to win a chance of survival and return to the capital alive.
"Madam, do you need water? I've already done it three times."
Liu Mei's maid has now been transferred to serve Mo Yunyue.
She said this on purpose to mock Mo Yunyue.
They all believed that it was Mo Yunyue who had brought the Liu family to this state. When the news was passed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, the Prime Minister's wife had already sent a team of secret guards over.
Counting the days, it’s almost time.
Mo Yunyue glanced at the maid with a sullen face, and slapped her in the face with a crisp sound.
"You ignorant servant, why don't you go get some water and wait for me?"
She couldn't afford to offend Bai Ruolian and Xue Qing'an.
Can't you educate this arrogant maid?
——
Just when the people of the four countries were all concerned about their livelihoods.
Yingzhou and Xuzhou.
A torrential downpour began. This time, unlike the last, it brought a sense of life, bringing life back to all things. The raindrops fell, moistening the parched earth.
The devastation seemed to be slowly being healed by the heavy rain.
Several sisters-in-law wanted to lead everyone to plow the land and cultivate the crops, at least to plant the rice they needed.
Jiang Qingqing squatted under the tent, looking at the dripping rain outside.
"It's winter now... can we still grow rice?"
Although she had never done farm work before, it seemed like it would snow in winter. Could the rice even survive?
This month has made everyone crazy with heat. The second sister-in-law finally realized, "Yes, it's winter already."
After the high temperature disaster, the temperature has gradually turned cooler in just one day.
It was intentional to return to normal.
It will be even colder tomorrow.
The third sister-in-law looked at the barren land and felt a little sorry: "If we can't grow anything, then we can build a house?"
"Houses must be built, but the people of Xuzhou and the army need a lot of rice every day. Asking the gods for money all the time is not a solution."
It will take at least until March or April of the following year before rice can be planted.
That's still a few months away.
My second sister-in-law is worried.
Jiang Qingqing felt puzzled when she saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Xiao Congyan kicked her embroidered shoes and said rudely, "Go ask your ghost for something. It's just raining. Where's the food? Where's the house?"
This environment is even worse than the end of the world.
At least in the end of the world, supplies can be found in supermarkets and houses are ready-made.
Starting with a piece of rotten land?
Jiang Qingqing dropped the small stone she was playing with and said, "Oh."
It's not her fault. Fu Zhengnan suddenly came to her room late last night and made her so greedy that she couldn't sleep all night. Now her mind is a little dazed.
"You can grow some spinach, it's cold-resistant. Also, I'll get back to you later about the plans and materials for building the house."
"I'm going to ask a professional."
Fu Zhengnan is in the game interface.
Naturally, I heard other people's conversations.
I ordered dozens of kilograms of spinach seeds and thousands of kilograms of nutrient fertilizers.
Jiang Qingqing nodded.
I just thought that what Fu Zhengnan meant by resisting the cold was resisting this winter.
"Then you won't come tonight? Hehehe..."
Jiang Qingqing discussed this with him in a low voice.
"Um?"
Fu Zhengnan raised his voice slightly, causing Jiang Qingqing to shudder.
Did she say something wrong again...
People in the neighboring cities looked at the clouds over Xuzhou and Yingzhou with envy. A rain-praying event was organized, and the people took out their remaining food and prayed for rain.
After this natural disaster, the imperial court had become useless in their minds.
It’s better to organize it yourself.
They also went to great lengths to elect a rain god, who performed a rain-praying dance in the center of the venue.
But the activity lasted for three days, and all they got was the weather starting to return to normal and get colder.
Not a drop of rain.
Seeing that the drinking water supply was getting less and less, people began to get anxious.
"What should we do? I heard that two important figures from the court have come and are now in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why don't we go and block them and ask the court to send us water?"
Those who are well-informed begin to plan.
But it was quickly denied.
"Now that the river has dried up, where will the court send us water?"
"Yeah, we can only pray to God for rain. Otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with."
Just when everyone was at a loss, someone spoke.
"Shall we go to Xuzhou?"
"Even if there's no food in Xuzhou, there's water. Aren't the Jiang family army there too? They might treat the people better than the Queen Mother's men."
Since Jiang's army was falsely accused of treason last time, its reputation among the people has been divided into two distinct poles.
There are those who always believe in them, and there are those who take advantage of their misfortunes.
As soon as this person finished speaking, those who had escaped when Xuzhou was closed.
They all looked embarrassed.
At the beginning, they had vowed that they would live better in Wuzhou than in Xuzhou. They even mocked the fools who were deceived by Jiang Qingqing.
Wouldn't I be laughed at if I went back now?
"If you want to leave, go on your own. We won't go back."
He also tried to dissuade the people who wanted to go to Xuzhou.
"We finally escaped from the cage, and it's impossible to go back now. You don't know what an inhuman life we led in Xuzhou back then."
Some people in the crowd listened and decided not to go to Xuzhou.
But some still decided to take a gamble. It would be difficult everywhere anyway, so they might as well bet that the Jiang family, which had protected Daliang for a hundred years, was worthy of trust.
At noon that day.
Many people packed their luggage and moved towards Xuzhou.
Jiang's father looked at the crowd of people on the city wall and thought that the Su family army was disguised as civilians and wanted to attack the city.
He immediately ordered people to beat the war drums.
"All troops on alert!"
The familiar sound of war drums made the people who came to Xuzhou for refuge feel a little panicked.
Seeing the archers and artillery carts appearing on the city walls, the timid ones fell to their knees with weak legs.
"What does this mean? We're not allowed into the city?"
"General, please don't hit us! We are all good people. We came here because we couldn't live in Wuzhou anymore and came to seek refuge in Xuzhou!"
Someone shouted at Jiang's father on the city wall.
There was deep emotion and even a tearful tone in his voice.
This is their last chance. If Xuzhou does not accept them, they will most likely die in this terrible natural disaster.
Father Jiang heard their calls clearly.
He raised his hand and told the soldiers guarding the city to stay put.
He has no way to judge whether these people are real civilians.
If we let them into the city based on these few words, and if they carry suicide weapons on their shoulders, we're finished.
Jiang Qingqing, Xiao Congyan and Jiang Yu rushed over when they heard the drumbeats.
