Chapter 563: The Man in the Bath
Almost everyone who was watching the rain was praying that it would soon subside, but this day seemed to be against many people, and there was no sign of the rain subsiding at all.
Afterwards, the Ninth Prince became visibly irritated, but Jiang Lin became calmer.
When one's mind calms down, one's eyes can see more things.
Jiang Lin noticed the Ninth Prince's anxiety, which had nothing to do with him. Jiang Lin just glanced at him lightly and then looked away.
However, the Ninth Prince's anxiety was no longer just on the surface.
In Jiang Lin's peripheral vision, the Ninth Prince suddenly stood up and raised his foot to enter the rain and fog.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and then he straightened up slightly and spoke, causing the Ninth Prince to pause.
The Ninth Prince looked a little confused when he turned around, as if he was surprised to see Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin frowned, and the Ninth Prince looked uneasy. But when he tried to probe further, the Ninth Prince returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
Instead of moving forward, the Ninth Prince turned around and returned to his original position.
"I just took a look and it seems that the rain will not stop tonight." The ninth prince said casually.
Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes. The Ninth Prince was obviously on the verge of going crazy just now, but after calming down, he actually remembered his problem. This was something Jiang Lin had never expected.
After that, the two of them returned to their previous state, except that they were looking at the rain together with completely different thoughts in their minds.
The heavy rain stopped most people from going forward, and those who stayed at home were worried about those who had not returned home.
"Miss Third, will the master be in trouble?" An Feng's eyes were full of worry. The rain made his left arm hurt slightly, and he felt depressed.
"He will find a place to shelter from the rain." Qin Xiangnuan just raised her eyes and then focused on the things in her hands again.
An Feng lowered his head and asked no more questions.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door, and before Anfeng could get up, someone pushed the door open.
"You...where did you come back from?" Anfeng raised his head and looked at Anliu at the door.
Undercurrent seemed to have just emerged from the river, with water dripping from every part of his body. He withdrew his dripping feet from the door and caught a glimpse of a water stain inside the door.
He then opened his mouth to respond, but a sneeze came out first.
Qin Xiangnuan finally put down the work in her hands, frowned, took out a dry handkerchief and handed it to him, "Why did you come back in the rain?"
Qin Xiangnuan knew that these people were not afraid of the weather at all, and what they had to do had nothing to do with the weather.
However, they can all see the rain today. Even if you want to do something, you will be restricted by this heavy rain and it will be difficult to accomplish anything. It is better to find a place to take shelter.
Qin Xiangnuan thought they would make this choice, but after seeing the undercurrent of rain, Qin Xiangnuan worried that Jiang Lin was also being hit by the rain somewhere.
"Third Miss." Anliu shuddered after sneezing. After his nose recovered, he took the handkerchief from Qin Xiangnuan's hand, thanked her, and retorted, "When the rain came, I was only a few miles away from home. I thought I could come back immediately."
"How many miles did you walk for so long?" An Feng exclaimed. "In this time, you could have come back from twenty miles away."
"That's what I thought, too." An Feng said in frustration, "That's why I continued to walk back. I never thought that the rain would come alive, not only constantly hitting me, but also making me almost lose my direction. The water on the street was all piled up because of the heavy rain..."
Anliu talked about the hardships of the past few miles. He also helped many people who were trapped by the rain on the road. At the end of his speech, he was almost in tears, otherwise it would not be enough to express his feelings at the moment.
After hearing this, An Feng opened his mouth, but in the end he just handed An Feng a cup of hot tea.
After Anliu drank it, he felt a warmth coming from his abdomen. At this time, Qin Xiangnuan also took out a set of clothes for him.
Only then did the undercurrent escape from its damp and cold state and step into this threshold.
Qin Xiangnuan glanced down when she closed the door. The place where the undercurrent had just been located seemed to have been splashed with a basin of water, which made Qin Xiangnuan look up into the distance.
Afterwards, Qin Xiangnuan went to boil ginger soup, and also some medicine that Anliu didn't know about, and let Anliu drink it all.
"Anliu, have you ever experienced such heavy rain before?" Qin Xiangnuan asked.
"No." Anliu raised his eyes from the medicine bowl and shook his head slightly at Qin Xiangnuan.
"As you saw on the road, how many people do you think will suffer after this heavy rain?" Qin Xiangnuan became worried when she heard Anliu say that there was a lot of water on the road.
Now Anliu put down the medicine bowl and his expression became heavy.
When he came back, the rain had just started, and apart from some water on the road, the houses were still very solid.
Moreover, this is in the capital, and all the houses should be able to withstand such heavy rain, but... the undercurrent is not certain at this moment.
"Miss Third, is it that serious?" Anliu asked.
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head. "That's all I'm worried about. What will happen in the end depends on when the rain stops."
Jiang Lin's house is located on a high ground, and there are stairs to go from the courtyard to the room. They didn't notice it before, but now when they opened the door and looked into the courtyard, they saw that the water had flooded half of the stairs.
This had to make them alert. They had no way to deal with the situation today and could only think about how to rescue the situation afterwards.
Qin Xiangnuan then became busy, gathering the people and things in the house and discussing with them what to do next.
At a time when they were all unaware, many people had the same thoughts as Qin Xiangnuan, and some of them were heard by the emperor.
The emperor naturally praised this highly.
Therefore, some people are looking forward to the grand scene after the heavy rain stops, but some are happy and some are sad. Even so, it does not prevent them from doing the same things.
"Will the rain never stop?"
The Ninth Prince and Jiang Lin looked at the rain, not even knowing how much time had passed. The Ninth Prince muttered to himself, wondering if it was God who was stopping him from doing anything?
While the Ninth Prince was lost in thought, Jiang Lin said, "The rain will eventually stop."
The Ninth Prince tilted his head and asked, "When do you think this rain will stop?"
Jiang Lin chuckled and said, "Who knows?"
The Ninth Prince sneered, "Then isn't it too arrogant of you to say that?"
Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow. "What does this have to do with arrogance? Isn't it natural for the sky to clear up after it rains?"
Such a simple phenomenon must be known to everyone, but the Ninth Prince was stunned by this sentence.
