Chapter 26 Heavy rain, roof leaks
Jing Er pointed to the other side, and said in a surprised tone: "This is the imperial city! This is where we stand. When will the general draw?"
"It must have taken a long time to draw." Xie Zhizhi looked at it very seriously, and spread out the entire map, which was 1 meter long and 3 meters wide.
This should be considered a map of the entire continent, with five countries drawn on it, namely Deng Kingdom, Western Regions, Tianchi Dynasty, Beixiang and Xing Dynasty.
Among them, the territory of the Xing Dynasty is the largest, the Western Region is the smallest, and the Western Region has been conquered and became a vassal state that pays tribute every year. The other three countries are countries that have been at war with Xing all year round.
The shape, direction and bends of the river, as well as the contours of the mountain ranges and the direction of small areas are all vividly displayed on this map.
From a stream to a city, each city is painted in exquisite and distinctive ways, each with its own characteristics, and is easy to distinguish.
Jing Yi exclaimed: "This must have taken a lot of traveling to various regions to draw such detailed pictures. The general is really amazing!"
Jing Er was fascinated by it: "It's written very detailedly, north up, south down, west left, east right. Miss, now that we have found it, can we go find the general?"
Xie Zhizhi is satisfied. With this map, traveling around the world is no longer a dream!
Later she realized that the mainland was more than just one country and there was a much wider area.
"Let's wait until the Imperial City is settled. This is the map of public life in the country. It would be even better if there were maps of public life for every city."
Xie Zhizhi knew that Xie Zongyi and Xie Huaizhidu would come to the imperial city to find the original owner in the end, so he should not leave for a short time, waiting for the hail to fall and obtain the first magical power to protect himself!
Jing Yi agreed that they always had to go to the city to buy food, so he said, "We'll find it eventually. If not, let's go back to the general's mansion."
"No need to go back. I have a way. You must not go back. I have looked for it, but it's not there." Xie Zhizhi couldn't say that she had put away all the things.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, miss." Jing Yi and Jing Er nodded obediently.
Next, Xie Zhizhi carefully studied the map above and the route that the exile team must take.
Jing Yi and Jing Er also joined in, and the three of them got a rough understanding of the situation.
Until more than an hour later.
Xie Zhizhi called a halt to the obsessive discussion, "It's getting late, let's get some sleep and then discuss it slowly."
"good."
Jingyi and Jinger carefully picked up the parchment on the ground and put it back into the box.
"Then Miss, I will fetch you some water for a bath."
Give her a bath?
Xie Zhizhi was very embarrassed at first and waved her hand to refuse: "No, no, no, I washed it outside, no need to wash it."
Jing Yi regretted that the young lady didn't need them anymore and sighed: "Okay then."
That night, the three of them slept in a small bedroom.
Xie Zhizhi waited for them to fall asleep and then entered the space.
I went back to the room and heated up the spiritual spring water. I took a beauty bath. After soaking in the spiritual spring water, my skin became as white as snow, delicate and smooth.
I save on skin care products.
Taking advantage of the time difference, she took a bath and then began to look for the books she had taken back from the General's Mansion.
Hope you can find other pictures.
…
In the middle of the night, the sky was dark and the path was dimly lit.
The night watchman struck the bronze bell and walked slowly on the quiet streets of the imperial city at night.
However, in less than half an incense stick of time, the sky became completely gloomy, with dark clouds rolling in, which was even more terrifying than during the day. A cold rain poured down, and a strong wind blew, with slanting raindrops lashing the window tables of every household.
The storm seemed to appear in an instant.
The night watchmen were so frightened that they immediately ran back to the roof to take shelter, stepping on the accumulated water. The splashing water made a sticky sound under their feet. Every household was awakened by the thunderclouds and lit candles. The rain was as terrifying as a river pouring down.
The night watchman was kindly invited into the home of the wonton shop owner to sit down, thus avoiding getting wet by the heavy rain.
In a remote little house.
"It's raining! The weather seems abnormal today. It's raining as expected. Oh, the roof over there is leaking!" Jing Yi was awakened by the thunder and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof. He got up and went to the small living room in front to get a glass of water. The roof of the house was built with bamboo and covered with thatch. It was not particularly waterproof and sturdy. It was okay for light rain, but it could not withstand heavy rain, causing water to drip from the window sill.
"I'll go get a basin." Jing Er followed her, and when he saw this, he hurried to the kitchen to get a basin and fill it with water.
Jing Yi stood aside, frowning, "We'll repair it after the rain stops, but we won't be able to live here for long."
Thinking that he would have to leave sooner or later, Jing Yi's brows relaxed.
"Is the young lady awake?" Jing Yi poked his head into the young lady's room and said worriedly, "The young lady is most afraid of thunder."
Jing Er placed a basin on the ground to catch the rainwater, then stood up and said, "Although the young lady is afraid of thunder, she doesn't like others waking her up. Why don't we sleep in the living room? That way, she will know when she calls us."
Jing Yi nodded seriously: "Okay, this is a very good idea."
In this way, the two of them fell asleep lying on the chairs in the small living room.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was filled with rolling thunderclouds, which looked gloomy and ready to collapse at any moment.
It rained all night long, and the yard was filled with water. The hot and humid summer was washed away by the rain, and the temperature in the early morning was only chilly.
Scene 1 Scene 2 I woke up from time to time to see if the basin was full and if there were any other leaks on the roof.
Xie Zhizhi used the time difference to eat and drink enough in the space, slept well, and even found the city map from the books on the bookshelf. At this time, he walked out of the small room and found two secret guards sleeping on the table.
"Why are you sleeping here?" She had no idea that there was a heavy rain last night, after all, they were all inside the space.
Jing Er rubbed his eyes and quickly came to his senses: "It rained heavily last night and the roof was leaking, so I slept here. The temperature suddenly dropped this morning. Are you cold, young lady?"
Jing Yi and Jing Er both put on their clothes. Seeing that she was wearing little, Jing Er went into the house to get some clothes.
Xie Zhizhi was still wearing the thin clothes she wore yesterday. The temperature seemed a little cold. She sat down and naturally asked, "What's wrong?"
It's raining heavily?
Is the natural disaster starting?
Jing Yi explained, "Last night, it rained heavily like never before. Fortunately, our house is on a slope, otherwise the rain would have entered the house."
Xie Zhizhi evaded the question and said casually, "I probably know, but I fell asleep again in a daze. The effect of the medicine had not worn off yet, so I was so sleepy that I forgot to be afraid of thunder."
Jing Yi believed it and felt ashamed for using medicine on the young lady. "I'm sorry, young lady, we shouldn't have used medicine on you."
"What are you thinking about? Fortunately you took me away, otherwise I would be in hell now." Xie Zhizhi supported her shoulders and patted her: "Don't think too much."
Jing Yi didn't think about it any more. The lady told her not to think about it.
Xie Zhizhi saw that she nodded obediently again, thinking she was so cute and obedient.
At this time, Jing Er took out a cloak from the room and put it on Xie Zhizhi.
She smiled and pulled her collar, instantly feeling much warmer: "Thank you, second sister. I didn't sleep well last night. Go back and have a good sleep."
