Normally, the servants of the Yan family would definitely listen to Master Yan, but now that a torrential rain has fallen, they are too busy to even escape, let alone have the mood to search for people.
With rain lashing their faces, it was difficult to even open their eyes. No matter how loyal the servants were, they were afraid of death. They didn't want to lose their lives. Anyway, it was the madam's order that they were not allowed to go looking for people, so they didn't go.
When Master Yan found Bai Yue'e, she and Bai Yushuang were at the very back of the group. From afar, Master Yan saw the boulder rolling down the hillside. Without thinking, he rushed forward and pushed his beloved away.
He himself was hit by a boulder.
"Master, Master, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" Bai Yue'e crawled to Master Yan's side, cradling his head in her hands and crying her heart out.
"Don't cry, live well, take good care of the child. I... I can't protect you anymore..." Old Master Yan breathed his last before he could finish speaking.
"Waaah, so touching! Poor Master Yan, Aunt Yue'e's life is so miserable." Xingxing wiped away her tears, crying as loudly as the rain outside.
Yes, she and Yue'e are both unfortunate people, both victims of this natural disaster.
Bai Yushuang seemed to be in a daze, as if she remembered the past. Her husband and children were nowhere to be found, and she wanted to find them but was powerless to do so.
"So Madam Yan will definitely not let you off the hook. You used to have Master Yan protecting you, but now that Master Yan is gone, who knows what Madam Yan will do to you? Your situation is really dangerous." Old Qiu Xing analyzed the situation in a very serious manner.
The carriage stopped; they had arrived at the clinic. Bai Yue'e was too weak to even get out of the carriage, so Zhu Lin asked the doctor to get in the carriage to take her pulse.
After taking her pulse, the doctor diagnosed the illness as Zhu Lin had predicted: she had suffered a major shock, been caught in the rain, and had just given birth. She needed to rest and recuperate, and should not engage in any further activities. In addition to taking medicine, she also needed to eat some nourishing food every day.
After seeing the doctor, a dilemma arose: should they send them back to their original inn or arrange another place for them? If they were sent back to the inn, Madam Yan might come knocking on their door soon after. If they were arranged another place to stay, the 100,000 refugees from Qingyang Prefecture were already overcrowded.
Finding alternative accommodation is not easy.
Xingxing's heart softened when she heard the baby crying, so she simply said, "You don't need to go back to the inn. Come back to the government office with me for a couple of days. In any case, everyone will have to leave in a couple of days."
Bai Yue'e and Bai Yushuang were very grateful to Xingxing. They dared not return to the inn, where no one would help them. If their child fell into Madam Yan's hands, they feared they would not survive.
As evening fell, the men sent out to find the prefect returned without finding him. Now that an entire city had suddenly appeared in Qingyang Prefecture, it was even more difficult to find clues, and the secret guards were also having a hard time investigating.
"Keep searching. We have to find them, alive or dead," Xingxing ordered with a frown, then waved away the guards.
According to the mother and wife of the prefect of Qingyang Prefecture, the traitors were the prefect and his advisor. The prefect was kidnapped by these two. It is not yet known whose people they are, so we can only guess in two directions.
It's either a spy from the Great Silver Kingdom or the Great Copper Kingdom. The Great Silver Kingdom is in the northwest and was at war with the Great Jin a month ago. The Great Copper Kingdom is in the north and has always been eyeing the Great Jin. Although they haven't sent troops to attack yet, it's possible that they have spies planted in various prefectures and cities.
Once the rain stops and the people of Xiyancheng leave, there should be some clues. For now, we can only send people to continue searching within the city.
Well, with so many things to do, Xingxing, being only seven years old, decided not to make things difficult for herself. Thinking too much would stunt her growth, so she decided to go and do something else.
It's been almost a month since I last went into the space to plant sweet potatoes. I've been on the go all this time and haven't had a chance to go into Zhu Lin's space again. Now I finally have some free time.
So the two of them hid in the room, locked the door, and went into the Mustard Seed Space together. Xingxing took a hoe and dug out a sweet potato to look at, and the result was pleasing.
"They've sprouted! Sweet potatoes really did sprout in just one month! That's wonderful!" Xingxing exclaimed with delight, then called on the boy to help her. "Brother Lin, let's quickly harvest the sweet potatoes and then plant another crop. We can harvest them again in a month!"
What could Zhu Lin do? He couldn't refuse Xingxing's request, so he could only help dig up the sweet potatoes and replant them. All the newly grown sweet potatoes were stored in the bamboo house.
Looking at the mountain of sweet potatoes, Xingxing was satisfied. She scratched her head and quietly thought back, wondering if there was anything else she had forgotten. Something very important, but she couldn't remember it for the moment because there had been so many things going on lately.
"What are you thinking about?" the boy asked.
"What do you want to eat?" Xingxing replied subconsciously, then her eyes lit up. "I remember now, besides sweet potatoes, didn't you also bring in corn seeds and pumpkin seeds?"
Zhu Lin: "?" He did take some. Xingxing hadn't mentioned planting them before, so he thought Xingxing hadn't planned to plant them. Turns out she just forgot.
However, the space is full of plants, and if we want to plant corn and pumpkins, we can only wait until the sweet potatoes are harvested and then make room for a plot of land. So, "Let's wait a month and see."
"No need to wait a month, Brother Phosphorus, can you harvest these herbs now? How about we harvest some herbs and store them, then set aside a plot of land to plant corn and pumpkins?" Xingxing blinked, her face full of innocent kindness.
The boy was silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and chuckled, "Fine, whatever makes you happy."
"Brother Phosphorus, you're so good to me. Don't worry, I'll remember everything you've done. I'll definitely share half of everything I have with you in the future. We're like brothers, right?" Xingxing said with a flattering smile.
Zhu Lin looked at her with starry eyes, thinking how this silly girl dared to make such a promise so casually. Had she forgotten that she was a princess of the Great Jin Dynasty and possessed no less than him?
