Chapter 454 Yancheng
"Not yet."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wu Ciyi, who was arguing with her like a child, and asked, "Where are you going to take the boat?"
"pier."
"There are no boats at the dock at this time. If it doesn't rain too much tomorrow, I'll have someone take you away. Is that okay?"
Wu Ci looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "My heart is beating fast."
Everything was fine, but after arriving in Yuncheng today, he felt like his heart was about to jump out.
Wu Ci Yi was very serious when he said this. It was the first time Zhou Yunshu saw Wu Ci Yi with such an expression.
"Then I..."
Before Zhou Yunshu could finish her words, a loud thunder suddenly sounded outside.
Kang Kang in her arms was frightened and started crying loudly. Zhou Yunshu coaxed Kang Kang while watching Wu Ci walk towards the door.
As soon as Wu Ci walked to the door, there was a rumbling sound of thunder and raindrops the size of peanuts, which hit people and hurt them badly.
"I should have left sooner."
As soon as Wu Ci finished saying this, he stood at the door and didn't move.
With such heavy rain, we can’t travel by land, let alone by sea.
Zhou Yunshu saw Wu Ciyi's anxiety, so she handed Kang Kang, who had finally been coaxed to sleep, to Dong Ge and poured a cup of tea for Wu Ciyi.
Wu Ciyi sat on the doorstep with the cup of tea in his hand. Even though raindrops blew on his body, he seemed to feel nothing.
After everything that needed to be explained was completed, Zhou Yunshu, who had nothing to do for the time being, sat down next to Wu Ciyi with a cup of tea.
"Are you worried about the people on the island?"
Wu Ciyi didn't answer immediately. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "I'm worried about my poisonous insects."
"I haven't been back for so long, maybe they've already killed each other and chosen a new Gu King."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wu Ciyi, who was completely different from the past. She wondered if he was really just talking about the poisonous insects he left on the island, or if he was using those insects to describe the people on the island.
Zhou Yunshu sat with him here for about half an hour. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, she and Wu Ciyi returned to their respective rooms.
The heavy rain lasted for half a month.
Going down to the back, there was hardly a single smiling face to be seen in the entire Yuncheng.
The low-lying areas of Yuncheng have all been flooded. Fortunately, there are not many people in Yuncheng, so even if everyone moves to higher areas, there are still extra houses.
The house that Zhou Yunshu chose when she first came to Yuncheng was already located in one of the highest locations in Yuncheng, and the most important granaries were also surrounded by it.
"The rain seems to have subsided."
The heavy rain turned into moderate rain, which is light, isn't it?
During the past half month, the entire Yuncheng seemed to be isolated from the outside world, unable to receive any news from the outside world, and existing independently in this world.
Fortunately, Yuncheng had enough food and sufficient reserves of medicinal materials, not to mention the presence of Old Master Xue, so it was rare that there was not a single death in Yuncheng.
If there is no hidden report.
Zhou Yunshu and his companions had encountered a plague during their exile, so they paid great attention to hygiene.
After the heavy rain, it is inevitable that diseases will spread. In order to prevent the plague from harming the whole city, Zhou Yunshu asked Cen Miaoying to lead people to patrol door to door. If there is anything wrong, they should be isolated immediately.
In the afternoon, the rain lightened up again.
Many people saw fish on the water-filled streets, and the fish were quite large, so many people rolled up their trouser legs and dived into the water.
Most people in Haizhou can swim, so catching fish is a piece of cake for them.
When Zhou Yunshu stood on the high observation tower and looked down, she saw the people fishing in the streets. Her originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Gui noticed the change in Zhou Yunshu's expression and asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Yingying, what do you think it's like outside during the two weeks of heavy rain?"
Wu Gui looked at Yuncheng, which was almost half flooded, and said, "The high-lying areas are relatively safe, but the low-lying areas are definitely flooded."
"It rained during the autumn harvest this year. I heard that many people didn't have time to harvest. They had nothing to eat or drink and it rained heavily. Maybe..." Not many people survived.
In the face of natural disasters, man-made disasters sometimes seem less cruel.
After all, everyone is equal in the face of natural disasters. It doesn't matter whether you are a noble or an ordinary citizen. If you encounter one, you will all be in danger of death.
"Yes, so Yuncheng has become a hot spot again."
After Zhou Yunshu said this, she immediately called Jing Gao and others, and also called Cui Hongbo over.
Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunzhi rearranged the defenses in front of everyone. With Zhou Yunzhi's supplement, there were almost no loopholes in Yuncheng's defenses.
Cui Hongbo stood aside and listened to Zhou Yunshu's arrangements for him without immediately objecting. After everyone had left with their tasks, he said to Zhou Yunshu, "Am I going too?"
Zhou Yunshu said solemnly to Cui Hongbo, "Master Cui, Yuncheng is now at a critical moment of life and death. As a centurion of Yuncheng's original garrison, don't you want to do something for it?"
Zhou Yunshu said bluntly, "It's been raining for so long. Do you think those pirates who came to Yuncheng to slaughter people before will come ashore again?"
Cui Hongbo's face turned pale. It wasn't a question of whether they would come ashore or not, but that those beasts would definitely come ashore!
Without food or water, they would not let go of the opportunity to plunder Yuncheng, especially now that Yuncheng has regained its vitality. In their eyes, isn’t it just a newly grown leek?
"I'll go right away."
After Cui Hongbo left, Zhou Yunzhi glanced at Sixteen beside him. Sixteen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are your instructions, Young Master?"
Before the order came out, Sixteen continued, "My duty is to protect you."
So don't think about asking him to contribute to protecting Yuncheng like Cui Hongbo.
In his eyes, the lives of the people of Yuncheng are not as important as the lives of the Zhou family. If he really can't stop them, he will just take people to help the Zhou family escape.
"I just want you to help me turn a corner."
Although it has been raining heavily for more than half a month and the rain has finally eased today and we should have some relief, Zhou Yunzhi feels that the children's classes cannot be stopped halfway.
Zhou Yunzhi was pushed away by Shiliu, and Zhou Yunshu took Wu Gui to the granary.
There are three places with the largest number of troops stationed in the entire Yuncheng.
City walls, Zhou family and granary.
There were more than a dozen granaries, none of which leaked, and no signs of being flooded.
After Zhou Yunshu checked everyone one by one and felt relieved, she took Wu Gui home.
Kang Kang caught a cold these two days, so Zhou Yunshu would rush home whenever she had free time.
The two of them were close to the back door of their home, so they thought of going home directly through the back door, but they found Cen Miaoying and Cen Ruize arguing.
"I really didn't lie to you!"
Cen Ruize grabbed Cen Miaoying's sleeve and shouted, "To avoid being a burden to you, my elder sister has been taking me fishing for a while now. She didn't want me to worry about her injury last time she went into the water, so she kept quiet. If I hadn't seen her with a fever and vomiting blood today, I wouldn't have known about it."
"Aren't you going to check if anyone is sick or injured? It's my eldest sister, so come with me. Come with me first!"
