Under Nan Zhi's careful care, the melon seedlings finally survived.
This is undoubtedly a happy thing.
That day, Nanzhi was about to go out.
“Nan Zhi.” Pei Nanqing, Pei Wuyou, and Yue Manwan appeared before Nan Zhi.
Nanzhi looked at the group in surprise.
Finally, Yue Manwan spoke up: "Is Your Excellency going to the fields?"
Nanzhi nodded. In a little over a month, the rice and watermelons would be ripe, and she had to keep an eye on them.
Yue Manwan said, "My sister Wuyou and I plan to return to the capital. Today we want to say goodbye to you, sir."
Nan Zhi's gaze fell on Pei Nanqing. "Then him."
"If you can send me back, I will be eternally grateful."
Pei Nanqing had been hiding for a long time, and given his personality, he naturally wouldn't continue to hide.
But Nanzhi hadn't yet decided what she had promised him.
To be honest, she didn't want to go to the capital.
Seeing her predicament, Pei Nanqing said, "You only need to send someone to take me to the capital."
His stepmother dared to harm him simply because he was far from the emperor's reach.
Once he returns to the capital, his stepmother will not easily lay a hand on him.
The southern branch should descend.
Yue Manwan and Pei Wuyou said goodbye and left that day.
Nanzhi was thinking that if Pei Nanqing left, the village school would definitely need to hire a teacher.
She put down her work and sent Wu Nanshuang to explain the situation to the village chief.
If the other party has a suitable husband, she doesn't need to worry about it.
Not long after, Wu Nanshuang returned.
She entered the room as if she had drunk some water, and then said, "Master, the village chief said there's an old scholar in the next village, and he'll go invite him tomorrow. It's so hot today, and the autumn harvest is just around the corner, why does it still feel like summer?"
After she pointed it out, Namzhi realized that the weather was unusually hot this year.
Autumn should be the coolest time of year, but the current temperature is really abnormal.
Nanzhi suddenly remembered something and immediately stood up.
"Nan Shuang, get your things ready, we're going up the mountain."
Seeing her master's solemn expression, Wu Nanshuang didn't dare to delay for a moment.
They packed a lot of food and took several jugs of water, and hurried up the mountain.
Erbao and Sanbao followed closely behind the two.
Halfway there, Wu Nanshuang was too tired to climb any further, so the two of them climbed onto the backs of the two wolf cubs.
Erbao and Sanbao bent over, allowing the two to climb up.
After being nourished by the spiritual spring water in Nanzhi many times, the two wolf cubs have grown to be as big as adult wolves, and even bigger than the adult wolves in the mountains.
Its fur is smooth and glossy, and its body moves nimbly through the forest.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, the temperature rose higher and higher.
Nanzhi felt uneasy.
She dismounted from the wolf cub and climbed to the highest point.
The once vibrant crater is now filled with drooping plants.
The small lake atop the blue mountain was now steaming with heat.
The fish in the water floated on the surface, belly up, motionless.
Wu Nanshuang's eyes widened. "Master, this, this, this."
She pointed down, speechless.
The once beautiful scenery is now filled with a deathly atmosphere.
Nanzhi asked anxiously, "Cherry, is the volcano about to erupt?"
Volcanic eruption?
Cherry in the space almost fell off the chair and onto the ground.
He quickly went out to check.
Upon closer inspection, it was astounding.
"Master, run! Run! There's violent activity underground! If we don't run now, it'll be too late!"
Nan Zhi's heart sank. She tried to control herself and not panic.
"A few more days," she said calmly.
Cherry held up three fingers. "Three days. As expected, there will be an earthquake tonight."
Volcanic eruptions cause intense underground magma activity.
He just checked, and there's definitely going to be an earthquake tonight.
Nanzhi's expression was more solemn than ever before, and she hurriedly walked back.
Wu Nanshuang hurriedly followed.
The two returned home.
Wu Nanshuang gasped for breath, "Master, what...what happened?"
Nan Zhi said earnestly, "Nan Shuang, go find the village chief and tell him that there will be an earthquake tonight. Tell everyone to be careful and not to stay at home."
"Master, what is an earthquake?"
Wu Nanshuang looked at her.
Nanzhi vaguely knew that there should be no such thing as "earthquake" in this era.
She changed her words to, "The earth dragon turned over."
"What!" Wu Nanshuang exclaimed in surprise.
Standing on the ground, I was at a loss.
An earthquake is a life-threatening event; if you're not careful, the whole village could be wiped out.
She forced herself to calm down, then staggered out the door.
"Defend the country and the people, come in."
Wei Guo and Wei Min entered and bowed, saying, "What can I do for you, Master?"
Nan Zhi said seriously, "Wei Guo, go and inform Song Hanyan that there will be an earthquake tonight, and the volcano on the mountain will erupt in three days. Tell him to move out immediately."
The two exchanged a glance and silently shut their mouths.
Of course, I must do what my master tells me to do.
But things are calm now, is it really going to happen?
Nanzhi didn't have time to think about anything else; she went straight to the stables, got a horse, and headed to the county town.
The two-hour drive was reduced to just over an hour thanks to the fast horsemanship in Nam Gyi.
Finally, at noon, I stepped into the county government office.
The guards at the gate did not stop her when they saw her, and Nanzhi found Lin Chengyi without any hindrance.
The door suddenly opened, and Lin Chengyi was sewing clothes with a needle and thread in his hand.
The loud thud of the door being kicked startled him.
The needle pierced his finger, and he hissed in pain.
I thought it was that unruly servant, but it turned out to be Nanzhi.
Lin Chengyi hurriedly hid the needle and thread behind his back.
Seeing her expression, Lin Chengyi's face darkened.
