Wear it quickly, she's beautiful

Chapter 139 Ghost Festival 12
On the night Ziling moved in, Xihuai had been raining heavily for three consecutive days, and local officials felt unprecedented anxiety.Lord Xihuai was so worried that he couldn't sleep. Standing on the city wall and watching the rain curtain connect to the sky, he stood until dawn.

Then, what he was most worried about finally happened.The subordinates reported that the heavy rain for several days caused floods to accumulate, and a flood control embankment was washed away, and all the villages downstream of the embankment were submerged.

Xihuai leader Li Qiyi nodded, and raised his hand to signal his subordinates to back down. "Activate the reserve food, resettle the affected people, monitor the other dams at all times, and report any changes immediately." The subordinate ordered, and left with fists in their hands: "Yes, my lord."

It was raining heavily, and Li Qiyi stood alone on the city wall, frowning tightly.The terrain of Xihuai is flat, divided into north and south sides by the broad Huaijiang River, and rich in resources, it has always been a land of fish and rice.

But there is one bad thing. Whenever there is heavy rain, the plains are prone to flooding.In order to prevent disasters, the ancestors built many flood control dams, which were really effective. There has been no flood for a hundred years, and this has become a scene of Xihuai.

But what he is most worried about now is that the turbulent rain and the dikes and dams have been in disrepair for a long time, which may not be able to withstand the disaster. Once the dikes burst, the rice and rice plains in the north and south of the Huai River will be completely submerged.

Since there had been no floods for many years, people were relaxed. When they realized the seriousness of the heavy rain, Li Qiyi could only order reinforcement of the north dam, but had no time and energy to take care of the south.

But at this moment, Zi Ling in the inn on the same land woke up faintly.Opening his eyes, the layout of the whole room is full of exquisiteness, and it really deserves to be the best room in the inn.

The windows are closed, the rain is pattering, pattering against the window lattice, like a dense and monotonous song, gorgeous but soulless, which inexplicably makes the nerves feel tired.

— No wonder she can sleep so long.

The person Luo Chen sent to see her off went somewhere, Ziling opened the door and went downstairs along the corridor, there were quite a lot of people gathered in the hall.The heavy rain left them with nothing to do, so they gathered together leisurely, or asked for a few plates of peanut wine to chat, or played a small gamble with dice in the village, or gathered around and listened to Mr. Shu's cadenced talk about the past.

Previously, the body was not good due to the exhaustion of the boat and the car. Ziling looked a little tired. On the road, he could only eat some dry food. His nutrition could not keep up with his needs, and his mood was even worse.

Fortunately, I had a good rest last night, felt much better, and was hungry.Ziling sat down in a relatively remote place, asked Xiaoer to order two plates of pastries and a bowl of porridge, and then enjoyed it quietly in the corner, but his thoughts were keenly capturing all the useful information around him.

In the northeast corner of the inn, a few people were playing dice with bowls in their hands. In the rough porcelain bowl, Ziling heard the clinking of three dice.Smiling, he scooped up the porridge with a spoon and drank it, his stomach felt warm and comfortable.

She concluded that the dice roller was cheating.

Asking Xiaoer to take down the finished porridge bowl and order another pot of scented tea, Ziling continued to pay attention.

On the edge of the inn, not far from her, a group of people were chatting and bragging.They use ordinary words, with a little local accent, and the content is mostly short-sighted by parents, crops, rain and weather and other small things in life.

Guest [-]: "Hey! My little bastard stole a cow from the next village last month and lost it. I can't find it now. I'm really mad. I might have to pay for a cow!"
