A torrential downpour lasted all night. In the morning, the town was filled with a thin mist, and fine raindrops floated in the moist air. After a night of heavy rain, the river outside the house continued to rise.
When Daixiang got up, she looked at the river outside and hurried back into the house, "Sister Mu, the river outside seems to be flooded."
The three people in the house stood up and walked out of the courtyard, only to see that the river in front of them had become turbid. The water level had already exceeded the highest water level, and if it continued to rise, it would most likely flood the town.
"If it continues to rain today, it won't be long before it's flooded." Bei Yutang said with a frown.
"Sister Mu, why don't we pack up and leave today?" Daixiang suggested.
Xue Qian said, "We need to notify the nearby residents and ask them to leave. It's too dangerous here."
Xiao Moer looked up at the sky. It was drizzling and the whole town was shrouded in mist. The mist did not seem to dissipate, but became thicker.
"Mother, it should rain again today."
Bei Yutang looked at the water that was about to overflow the river and said to Dai Xiang and Xue Qian, "Ask the nearby residents about the situation. They have lived here for a long time and should know more about the situation than us."
"Okay." Dai Xiang nodded in response.
Several people knocked on the door of the house next door. A middle-aged woman opened the door. When she saw that it was Xue Qian standing outside the door, a warm smile appeared on her face.
"It's you, Doctor Xue. What's the matter?"
Xue Qianyi opened his mouth and said directly, "The river outside is about to overflow. It's too dangerous here. We need to get everyone nearby to move away immediately."
The middle-aged woman glanced at the river outside and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "Divine Doctor Xue, you don't know that this river rises every time it rains. Even if it overflows, it won't be a big deal."
Xue Qian couldn't convince her, but she comforted him instead.
When he came back, he ran into Dai Xiang who also looked confused.
"How is it?" Bei Yutang asked.
"I just asked three families, and they told me that this is how the river is. It's like this when it rains. There's nothing to worry about." Dai Xiang said helplessly.
Bei Yutang turned and looked at Xue Qian.
"I asked the same question as Dai Xiang. She said that even if the river overflows, it's no big deal and there's nothing to worry about."
"Well, in that case, you should pack your bags as planned and leave early tomorrow morning."
"good."
Several people started to pack their things. Bei Yutang looked at the things she had sorted out. She knew that a carriage would not be able to hold them all, so most of them had to be thrown away. She did have a storage space on her body that could hold these things, but it would be awkward to take them out again after putting them in.
If you sell a set of utensils and discard a set every time you go to a place, it would be a waste of money.
Bei Yutang looked at the horse in the backyard, resting his chin with one hand, and began to ponder. It seemed that he had to buy another horse and make appropriate adjustments to the carriage.
She went into the study and began to draw on rice paper.
When Xiao Moer came in, he saw his mother bowing her head at the table seriously, so he didn't go forward to disturb her.
He glanced at the dark sky outside, then at the slightly dim light in the room, walked to the side, took out a tinder, lit a candle and put it on the table.
Bei Yutang was so engrossed in drawing that she was completely unaware of his arrival.
After she finished drawing the drawing in her hand, she was surprised to see an extra candle on the table.
