Shen Zhaozhao raised his hand and pointed at the rain curtain.
Through the heavy rain, you can vaguely see the towering mountains on both sides.
"Look at the mountains on both sides," Shen Zhaozhao asked, "don't you think they are too low?"
Zhan Nanxing's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Shen Zhaozhao didn't make his words very clear, but as a general who often led troops outside, he was still very sensitive to the terrain.
"Zhao Zhao is worried that the heavy rain will continue. Will there be a flash flood?"
Zhan Nanxing called her Zhaozhao.
Neither of them noticed the intimacy revealed by this name.
Shen Zhaozhao nodded, and she felt worse about tonight.
She originally planned to observe the rain and if it stopped, she would stay there overnight. However, after waiting for a long time, the rain became heavier.
There is no sign of stopping.
"Go talk to that man here and see if he can take you to see Jiang Hu and the head of the village."
Shen Zhaozhao turned around and said something to Zhan Jiaji, then took his bamboo hat and prepared to go out.
The wing where they were staying was separated from the main house where the man lived by a courtyard.
Heavy rain poured down on the yard, forming shallow puddles.
There was a shadow above my head.
Shen Zhaozhao turned around and saw Zhan Nanxing beside her, holding up the rain cover for her.
"If you don't have an umbrella, I'll hold it for you."
Shen Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and looked at his legs, "Don't get your wound wet later."
"It's almost healed." Zhan Nanxing motioned for her to go first, and he followed.
Shen Zhaozhao took a step and walked into the courtyard.
Crash——
The heavy rain hit the tarpaulin, making a loud noise. My feet stepped into the puddles, feeling icy cold.
Fortunately, it is summer now.
Zhan Nanxing was beside her, walking a little unsteadily, and Shen Zhaozhao deliberately slowed down his pace to cooperate with her.
After wading through the water in the yard and reaching the main door, Shen Zhaozhao raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?" The door opened quickly. A simple-looking Han 떚 stood in the candlelight, looking at Shen Zhaozhao with a warm look, "Have you raised the money? Do you want to buy hot water or bedding?"
Shen Zhaozhao, who had no intention of paying, laughed awkwardly.
"What is this big brother's name?"
"Just call Mu San," Han smiled innocently, showing his white teeth, "Do you want hot water or bedding?"
Shen Zhaozhao pointed to the heavy rain outside, and instead of answering his question, he expressed his concerns.
"You see, the village is located in the valley between two mountains, and all the water comes to us."
"Brother Mu San, if this heavy rain continues, I'm afraid it will be dangerous when everyone is asleep at night."
Mu San raised his eyelids.
So you didn't come here to give me money?
"See if you can help point the way. Let's go to the headman's house and tell the police about this situation." Shen Zhaozhao negotiated in a kind way.
Mu San rolled his eyes to the sky.
"My dear little girl, there used to be a temple on this mountain. There was a half-immortal in the temple. Guess how he died?"
Shen Zhaozhao blinked.
Isn't this about pointing the way?
How did the topic jump to half-immortals?
Mu San snorted coldly, "Poor as hell."
"Little girl, if you don't have money, go back and sleep on the floor. Fortune telling won't make you money!"
BANG——
The door closed in front of Shen Zhaozhao. If Zhan Nanxing hadn't quickly pulled Shen Zhaozhao, it would have hit her nose.
"Ahem," a woman's cough and questioning voice could be heard faintly from the room, "Third brother, who is it?"
"No one, just take a rest."
Through the door, Shen Zhaozhao heard Mu San's response.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at Zhan Nanxing beside him, and immediately raised his hand to knock on the door, "Brother Mu San, as long as you show me the way to the head of the village, I can help your mother see a doctor."
Zhan Nanxing looked at Shen Zhaozhao who knocked on the door.
Suddenly I thought of their wedding night, when she insisted on staying, which was exactly the same as what she was doing now.
In her nature, there is a kind of persistence that will not give up until the goal is achieved.
Squeak——
The door was opened again, revealing Mu San's cold face.
Shen Zhaozhao put on a smile.
"Go away, poor bastard, go wherever you want. How can you be so poor if you have medical skills?" Mu San said, impatiently reaching out his hand and pushing Shen Zhaozhao, "I really believed in your lies!"
BANG——
The door closed again.
Shen Zhaozhao was caught off guard and was pushed by him, causing him to stagger and was about to lose his balance and fall.
A big hand reached out from behind.
He supported her on the back and helped Shen Zhaozhao find her center of gravity.
Zhan Nanxing withdrew his hand at the right time.
He only had one leg to support his body, and after he lifted up Shen Zhaozhao, his back hit the pillar behind him heavily, making a dull sound.
"Are you okay?" Shen Zhaozhao was a little annoyed by Mu San's stubbornness and greed for money.
Zhan Nanxing shook his head and glanced at the house in front of him, "This person is indeed greedy for money."
Shen Zhaozhao snorted and reached out to support Zhan Nanxing. In fact, she could completely let this Mu Eryin lead the way.
However, based on her previous life's understanding of sex, her greed for money was endless.
If Mu Er knew that she was wealthy, he might do something to steal her money.
The Zhan family consists of mostly women, so one has to be on guard when they go out.
"Let's go find it ourselves?" Zhan Nanxing suggested.
Shen Zhaozhao shook her head and said that she could go by herself. It was raining heavily at night and Zhan Nanxing had difficulty walking.
Whether to let Shen Zhaozhao go to the head of the village alone, Zhan Nanxing was worried, and the two discussed for a long time behind the door of the ear room. It was still Guo who opened the door and took the initiative to speak:
"You and your sister-in-law will go, and your third brother will be waiting in the house."
This time, Shen Zhaozhao had no objection.
Zhan Nanxing pursed his lips. Although he was not happy to be left behind, he knew that his legs were a burden.
Watching Shen Zhaozhao and Guo walking together, holding an umbrella, Zhan Nanxing felt a little bitter.
If his legs and feet were fine, he should be the one accompanying Shen Zhaozhao now.
Guo took Shen Zhaozhao's hand and walked in the courtyard. She looked down and was full of doubts: "Sister-in-law, you said that these officials put us in these farmers' homes. Aren't they afraid that we will run away?"
Shen Zhaozhao hadn't thought of this. She was full of her own premonitions, and when Guo reminded her of this, she felt a little strange.
The two talked and pushed open the gate.
"Wang——"
A loud dog barking sound immediately rang out, echoing from far away through the rain.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the big yellow dog in front of him, which was hiding under the eaves of the courtyard gate, barking wildly and dripping with sweat.
She finally understood why the officers were so relieved.
Along with the constant barking of dogs, there were lights and some noisy sounds in the dark rain.
"What's going on?"
"Which prisoner wants to escape?"
Servants wearing bamboo hats and straw raincoats gathered around the sound, and the leader was none other than Jiang Hu.
Beside him followed the village head Mu Laoer.
Shen Zhaozhao grinned.
If she had known that she could see Jiang Hu as soon as she left the hospital, she wouldn't have had to talk so much nonsense with Mu San.
"Brother, the prisoners you arrested this time are not very honest," Mu Lao San saw that it was actually two women who wanted to escape, and they were caught by them and could even laugh, "If you want to teach them a lesson, go to the house to teach them. They are too old to see blood."
Mu Laosan was kind-hearted. He glanced at the whip on Jiang Hu's waist and reminded Shen Zhaozhao:
"You're in trouble."
"This brother has a bad temper. The officers will whip you in a while. Just howl loudly to save your life."
