Xiao Bin from the second wife felt terrible when he saw that the people from the first wife actually had a boat.
"How come the people from the big house have a boat?"
Wang was also surprised at what she saw. "Yeah, how come the people from the second house have a boat?"
No matter how surprised the people from the second house were, the team from the first house had already left.
Xiao Jingrui turned to look at Liu Yong and asked, "What are we going to do if we get to the border and there are so many people missing?"
Liu Yong said expressionlessly, "So many people died in the Yongzhou flood this time. We can just find an excuse and let it go. But I'm afraid my two brothers will have to suffer some physical pain."
What Mu Ruxue was worried about was that if the people from the second house were lucky enough to survive the flood and did not go to the border, wouldn’t that be a great bargain?
Perhaps sensing Mu Ruxue's thoughts, Liu Yong explained, "Even in the event of natural or man-made disasters, everyone knows that Liu Fang's troops won't all arrive safely. But the imperial court has its own rules, and we brothers are bound to get a beating this time."
Mu Ruxue became even angrier when she heard this. "How can that be? The second family is living comfortably, but we are the ones who are suffering."
Yun Ruoxi persuaded them, "It's okay. This flood was already dangerous. The fact that someone was able to survive it means that the second branch of the family is not doomed to fail. As for the rest of the matter, I hope they can think clearly. If they go to the border by themselves, then their identity and household registration will be easy to explain. After all, the Wu'an Marquisate didn't impose heavy penalties on us this time. We were merely sent to live at the border, not exiled, forced to serve as military households, or forced into slavery. Once we get to the border and register as a household, everything will be settled. They will analyze and weigh the probation themselves."
Mu Ruxue pouted and said unconvincedly, "The people from the second house don't look like they have any clear minds. Otherwise, they have been causing trouble for us all the way. They don't look smart at all."
Xiao Jingxuan, who was standing by, chuckled when he heard this. "Madam, what you said makes sense. You have summarized the people of the Second House very well. If I am right, once the flood recedes, the first reaction of the people of the Second House will be to escape. But whether they can escape or not is not up to them."
Xiao Jingrui nodded and continued, "Yes, no matter where you go in the Daye Dynasty, you need household registration documents or fish tokens. If they want to go out, they probably can't even stay in an inn."
Yun Ruoxi frowned and asked, "But as long as they have money, these problems should be easy to solve, right?"
Xiao Jingrui: "That's right. Even if they spent a lot of money to find the surrounding villagers, or ordinary people, to buy household registration and find people to testify for them. But as long as we reach the border, in the flood, the people of the Second House will just disappear. The people in the court are not sure whether they are still alive. Officials in various places will receive portraits of their detainees. There are so many people in the Second House, and the target is so big, there is no way they can hide."
Jamel Xiao: "Yes, unless they hide in the deep mountains and forests and become bandits and never come out again, then we can do nothing."
Zhao said coldly, "Look at the character of Xiao Bin from the Second House. He has always wanted to stand out in this world. How can he surpass the people from our First House? He would never hide away in the mountains or forests."
After hearing everyone's analysis, Yun Ruoxi had a rough idea in her mind.
"No matter what the Second House chooses, we can't take them with us this time."
Everyone knew that Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were carrying secrets, and it was too dangerous to bring people from the second house with them, as they would be easily exposed.
From the fact that Xiao Qingyu had been staring at Yun Ruoxi, it was clear that there were basically no good people in the second house, from top to bottom.
Yun Ruoxi would not joke about such a big thing. After all, no one is more important than her secret.
She was also very grateful that the space was set up so that no one except the owner could enter, otherwise she would be in real danger.
The wooden boat was drifting along the current, and the mountain peaks gradually disappeared from view.
Liu Yong and Liu Gang had been in charge of the exile team in Lingnan before, and now they were in charge of determining the direction.
Zhao had said before that there had been a flash flood in Yanshan Prefecture before, more than ten years ago, and that time it involved two prefectures.
The situation this time is estimated to be even more serious than the last time. After all, even the dam has collapsed. It is estimated that more areas will be affected this time.
What Yun Ruoxi was worried about was that she couldn't drift too far. At the very least, she had to use a wooden boat to travel. No matter what, she had to pass through the disaster-stricken Yongzhou.
Fortunately, Liu Yong and Liu Gang knew the way, so everyone did not deviate from the route.
Mu Ruxue looked at the areas around her that were flooded. At a glance, all she could see was yellow, muddy, and turbid floodwater.
There were also a lot of farmers' belongings floating in the air, even the carcasses of poultry.
The entire water surface looks dirty and messy. The dead poultry have been soaking in the water without being dealt with, which will cause problems over time.
Moreover, it is difficult to say whether the carcasses of these poultry belong to the villagers on this side or to the other side blocked by the embankment.
Yun Ruoxi thought for a moment and then spoke out a warning: "Don't move anything that has been soaked by the flood, and don't rescue people on the road at will. It's more important for us to save our own lives."
Mu Ruxue: "Xixi, are you worried that these corpses will cause a plague?"
"It's not impossible, but we still have to prepare for the worst."
This dam collapse not only brought floods, but also probably viruses.
Mu Ruxue is also a modern person, so she naturally knows the importance of this matter. She hurriedly found many masks from the space and distributed ten packs to everyone.
Everyone followed Mu Ruxue's example and put on masks immediately.
Since the flood water is not clean, all thoughts are to leave here as soon as possible.
Without Yun Ruoxi's urging, everyone took the oars and started rowing hard.
In order to leave here as soon as possible, even Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue helped with the oars to make the boat go faster.
At the same time, pray in your heart that what they are worried about will not happen.
But the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.
Everyone tried hard to leave the territory of Yanshan Prefecture, but the further they went, the more poultry carcasses they found in the flood.
Now we actually see a human corpse, and judging from the degree to which the corpse has been swollen, it seems that the person has been dead for at least five days.
However, they had only experienced the flood for one day, and everything showed that the other side of the embankment was Yanyuan Prefecture, and the flood would only be more serious.
Moreover, Yanyuan Prefecture was hit by the disaster earlier than Yanshan Prefecture.
