Chapter 92 Alarmist?
Because we were delayed in the morning, it was already late at night when we arrived at the post station to rest.
The cold and hungry crowd found a good place.
Either they were cleaning up or looking for a place to make a fire and cook.
Everyone was very glad that they replenished their supplies yesterday, so even if they didn't go out to find food tonight, they wouldn't starve.
The more vicious ones would just take out the frozen dry food and start eating it.
The Xu family has always maintained a high quality of life.
So, they started by making a fire in the kitchen to cook, because they had brought firewood with them beforehand.
There is no other way. Given these conditions, I naturally have to be nicer to myself.
Nanny Qin and the others were cooking, while Lin Mo was heating the kang.
There was no way out. The weather changed suddenly and everyone was freezing from the moment night fell.
When he arrived at the post station, Lin Mo felt like he was going to freeze to death.
So, after deciding where to stay for the night, she didn't bother to rest, but instead heated the kang first.
Perhaps because it was too cold, Lin Mo tried several times before he could light the fire.
And the moment the firewood was lit, the cold was dispelled.
Lin Mo then sighed comfortably.
In my previous life, I didn’t get delayed on the road. It was only after I passed the Valley of Divine Doctors that I encountered a heavy snowstorm.
It now seems that they will be trapped when they reach the Valley of Divine Healers.
Just as Lin Mo was roasting the fire and thinking about something, Li Ping hurried in carrying a bag of food.
"Mrs. Xu."
She placed the bag of food in front of Lin Mo:
"Did you give me the wrong rice? I bought brown rice, not this fine rice."
Although they are all rice, the prices vary greatly.
Brown rice is cheap, you can buy a pound for ten cents, while fine rice costs thirty cents a pound.
Madam Xu Shao has helped me a lot, and I can't take advantage of her anymore.
Lin Mo shook his head, "You got it right, this is it.
I was busy yesterday and forgot to buy rice for you, so I got this rice for you."
"I can't accept..."
"So, you're going to leave them starving? Are you sure they can survive this cold weather?" Lin Mo interrupted her and shook her head:
"You don't need to feel like you've been taken advantage of. I promised to buy it for you, but I didn't do it, so I should compensate you.
And you gave it to me, where are you going to buy food now?"
Li Ping couldn't help but exert force on the bag and nodded silently:
"Thanks."
After saying that, he turned and walked outside.
Lin Mo just glanced at her figure and continued to busy himself with his own things.
At this moment, Xu Wuyan came in carrying a bunch of firewood.
As soon as he came in, he immediately went to the entrance of the kang to warm himself by the fire:
“It’s so cold.
That day, it was getting colder at night.”
Lin Mo nodded. "The weather will get colder day by day, and there may even be a snowstorm. We need to be more prepared."
Before Xu Wuyan could speak, Chen Zhihua, who heard her words not far away, couldn't help laughing.
After laughing enough, he started to make sarcastic remarks.
"Did everyone hear that? The all-powerful Madam Xu said there's going to be a snowstorm. Haha, that's hilarious. But it's a bit cold, so who are they trying to scare by saying there's going to be a snowstorm?"
Chen Zhihua's voice was so loud that everyone in the room heard it.
For a moment, everyone was talking about it.
"Snowstorm? Impossible! Wouldn't that freeze people to death?"
"Yes, it's impossible. I asked around in Luyang City yesterday, and there won't be a snowstorm."
"That's what alarmism is!"
…
Chen Zhihua looked at Lin Mo complacently.
Humph, let you help that bitch.
"Did you hear that? There won't be a snowstorm here. You're just exaggerating and trying to scare people." Chen Zhihua said proudly.
"It's better to say less of such alarmist remarks, so as not to make a fool of yourself."
Everyone nodded and accused Lin Mo of saying such words to scare everyone.
Life is hard enough as it is.
If you have to worry about these things that may never happen, life will be even more difficult.
Xu Wuyan looked at Chen Zhihua with cold eyes:
"My husband and I are talking, what does it have to do with you?
In Beijing, your behavior is called eavesdropping, which is extremely despicable."
Chen Zhihua's face twisted for a moment.
But soon, he sneered again:
"That's because you guys spoke too loudly, who can you blame?
Besides, this isn't your home. You're talking so loudly, aren't you just trying to make people hear you?"
so……
Xu Wuyan sneered and suddenly stretched out his hand.
When his hand was pointed at Chen Zhihua, his index finger immediately flicked out, and a copper coin flew towards Chen Zhihua with the force of thunder.
Bang!
“Ahhhh!”
Chen Zhihua covered his mouth and wailed in pain.
When he let go of his hand, there was a mouthful of blood on his palm, and lying quietly in the blood was a big yellow tooth and a blood-stained copper coin.
He raised his head, revealing his bloody mouth, "You..."
"You're blocking the way." Xu Wuyan interrupted him with a cold expression:
"There's a stink bug in front of me. I want to hit it. You got in its way. You deserve it."
bed bugs?
Lin Mo covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Chen Zhihua's face turned even uglier. He was about to scold Xu Wuyan for doing it on purpose, but when he saw him take out another copper coin and play with it in his hand, he swallowed all the words back in frustration.
Why didn't the emperor kill Xu Wuyan, this arrogant guy, along with his father?
When everyone saw Xu Wuyan take action, they lowered their heads and pretended to be doing their own things, not daring to speak anymore.
No one dares to mess with him now.
The noisy people finally quieted down.
Xu Wuyan was satisfied.
His eyes fell on Lin Mo, “Don’t bother with a villain like this.
If you don't like him, just slap him away and I'll take the blame for you."
Lin Mo, “…”
Glancing at Chen Zhihua's frustrated expression not far away, Lin Mo nodded seriously.
"Your suggestion is good, let's do this next time."
Chenggong saw Chen Zhihua's face change again.
Lin Mo covered her mouth and laughed secretly. It was quite interesting to scare people.
"Okay." Xu Wuyan nodded.
But then he lowered his voice:
"Are you telling the truth about the snowstorm?"
Lin Mo nodded and counted on his fingers:
"It will start snowing lightly tomorrow night, and it will snow heavily the day after tomorrow. Then there will be a blizzard for seven consecutive days. We will be trapped for at least seven days, and many people will freeze to death during these seven days."
Xu Wuyan calculated the time and found that they had just arrived near the Valley of Divine Doctors.
"Madam, please don't tell anyone else about this. I will handle it."
After saying that, he asked Lin Mo to stay here, and he turned and walked outside.
He didn't want her to be criticized again.
Lin Mo shrugged and said nothing.
It would be best if he took it over, saving her the headache.
After Xu Wuyan went out, he felt the cold wind and turned around to talk to Lao Wei about this matter.
If it is true as Lin Mo said, there will be a snowstorm in three days.
I'm afraid many people will freeze to death.
Now, many people can’t stand it anymore, and if it gets colder, they will be even more unbearable.
Therefore, this matter must be prepared in advance.
In particular, they wanted to determine where they would arrive when the blizzard came and whether there were any inns where they could take shelter.
But he had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by Qian Zhengchang, who looked thin.
"Chat?"
Xu Wuyan glanced at him, nodded, and turned to walk out of the post station.
He didn't stop until he reached an open space.
"What do you want to talk about?"
You can see everything going on around you at a glance, and there's no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.
Qian Zhengchang looked at Xu Wuyan seriously:
"You already know who sent me to kill you."
Seeing Xu Wuyan nod, Qian Zhengchang remained silent.
His letter from home went around in circles before he received it in Luyang City.
Lin Mo was right.
His family...is dead.
The handwriting on the letter was exactly the same as his wife's, but he knew it was not written by his wife.
His wife was a person who loved life. Every time she wrote to him, she would put a flower or a leaf in the letter.
This time, nothing.
And there was no mark that she loved to leave.
So, he knew that something had happened to his wife.
Thinking of this, Qian Zhengchang's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
He looked up at Xu Wuyan:
"I don't know why she wanted to kill you, but I want to know if something really happened to my family."
Xu Wuyan shook his head, "I can't give you an answer to this.
I asked someone to check for information about your family, but couldn't find any clues.
There are only two possibilities in this situation: one is that they are all dead, and the other is that they are hidden in a very secret place."
Qian Zhengchang remained silent, but his heart sank.
After a long time, he said:
"I want revenge."
"It's difficult." Xu Wuyan shook his head. "You don't even have the chance to get close to the other party. Wanting revenge is harder than climbing to the sky."
"So," Qian Zhengchang looked up and said word by word, "I need your help?"
"Why should I help you?" Xu Wuyan shook his head and sneered:
"If this is a trick you use to harm me, won't I be in great trouble?"
Qian Zhengchang glanced at him and suddenly took out a thick envelope from his pocket:
"This is my sincerity."
Xu Wuyan glanced at him and took it.
After just one glance, my hands started shaking.
She glanced at him with an indescribable expression and nodded.
“Okay, I’ll help you.
But before that, you have to do one thing. I will tell you after I have arranged it!"
