Danger! The heroine of Quick Wear comes from the end of the world

It was March, and Ning Xiao was about to go to Jizhou Prefecture. As for the news that Xiao Qi had learned, Ning Xiao decided to go there and see for himself. If there was really a military camp there, he would send the news there to the prince. past.

Xiao Linzi was still following this time, but Chen Dalang went to the hot pot shop to help. The weather was gradually getting warmer, so the number of people eating hot pot was gradually decreasing, but Ning Xiao didn't care because he bought the chili peppers last year. There are almost no more.

Now that there are fewer customers, he doesn’t have to lose customers because of the lack of peppers. Fortunately, Ning Xiao copied a lot of recipes in the space in his previous life. Now he copied a new copy and gave it to Xiao Qi, asking him to find a chef. , in the absence of hot pot, the shop can still be operated, and the shop will not be closed.

After three days of preparation, Ning Xiao and Xiao Linzi rode on the newly purchased good horses, and the master and servant ran towards Jizhou Mansion further north.

Jizhou Prefecture is located in the northeast of the capital, where the weather is even colder and spring comes later! Because Ning Xiao was not in a hurry, both the master and the servant walked slowly on horseback, stopping to play around wherever they went.

On this day, the master and the servant came to a river. Looking at the river in front of them, Ning Xiao was a little speechless. This was the time of spring, and the river was usually in the dry season. Why was the water in this river so big?

Looking at the upper and lower reaches of the river, there were no bridges wherever they looked. In other words, either they could walk along the river and maybe find a bridge to cross the river, or they could find a ferry. Otherwise they would not be able to cross the river.

Ning Xiao looked at the rushing river. He was still guessing whether this was a flash flood in the mountains. But it was March, let alone the flood season. How could there be a flash flood, unless this river was like this every year.

I looked up at the mountains not far away. The tops of the mountains were covered with snow. It was really possible that the snow on the mountains melted, causing the river to rise.

"Let's go, Xiao Linzi, let's go upstream and see if there is a bridge across the river."

The master and the servant walked upstream along the river. They walked for an hour and finally saw a bridge. However, because the water flow had already crossed the bridge, the river not only passed under the bridge, but also passed under the bridge. Even on the bridge deck, nearly a foot of water poured over the bridge deck, and the sound of rumbling water could be heard in the distance.

Moreover, there was a caravan staying at the bridge at this time. It seemed that it was also because the water flow was too big to pass. Ning Xiao retreated when he saw this situation and looked at the water flow on the bridge deck. , I knew I couldn’t make it through.

Mainly because the impact of the water is relatively strong. When people get on the bridge, they cannot stand due to the water flow alone, so how can they walk.

I was thinking about finding a place to stay nearby for a few days. Anyway, I was not in a hurry to go to Jizhou Prefecture this time, just for fun, so Ning Xiao was not in a hurry about crossing the bridge.

"Brother Ning, it's you! You look familiar to me from a distance?"

Ning Xiao heard someone calling him, and then he looked over and found that it was the merchant's house that he had set out from the small town to the capital with. Unexpectedly, he met him here, but after thinking about it, he understood , this business owner is just a businessman, and doing business, isn’t that just running around?

He cupped his hands and smiled.

"Haha, it's the merchant's house. I really didn't expect to meet you here. Are you planning to go to Jizhou Prefecture to do business?"

"No, it's just that the flood has blocked the way. Brother Ning is also planning to go to Jizhou Mansion?"

"Yes, this is not the case. An old friend of my relatives in the capital was celebrating his birthday. He was unable to make the trip due to leg and foot problems, so he asked me to walk on his behalf. But now it seems that he can't cross the river. Does the merchant family know? Why is the river so big in this early spring?”

Shang Dongjia naturally understood Ning Xiao's question and smiled.

"Master Ning, I don't know. There is a snow mountain near Jizhou Prefecture. That's it."

As he spoke, Shang Dongjia also pointed to the big mountain not far away. Looking closely, the top of the mountain was covered with white snow.

"In previous years, the snow on the top of the mountain would melt and flow down the river. The river would rise once a year. It's not surprising. But this year, I didn't expect it to happen earlier. It seems that this year Jizhou Prefecture Spring here came earlier, and the snow melted earlier."

"Then what should the merchant family do now?"

The business owner also had a wry smile on his face.

"I originally wanted to come here earlier this year and cross the river before the flood season, but I didn't expect to come early and catch up with the flood season. For now, we can only wait. It only takes three or two days. This time We can cross the river again after the flood tide has passed.

Ning Gongzi also saw that the river was more than a foot deep across the bridge. People in the river at this level could not stand at all. They would be washed into the river as soon as they went up. Moreover, I brought so much goods, the loss Some, but some are not worth the gain, it is better to wait two more days. "

Ning Xiao also knew that what Shang Dongjia said was right. He could go there alone, but Xiao Linzi and the two horses couldn't get through. Now the plan could only be suspended here.

Fortunately, the master and servant had prepared tents when they went out, and they were all tied up on horseback.

"Xiao Linzi, go and pull the two horses over and arrange the tent for us to stay tonight. I will chat with the merchant's family for a while."

When it was getting dark, Ning Xiao returned to his camp. He had dinner with the Shang family. Mainly because there were so many people, Ning Xiao couldn't take food out of the space to eat, so he didn't eat with the Shang family. I was polite, so I had a meal with Shang Dong’s family.

The camp of Shang Dong’s family is not by the river, mainly because the river is too fast and the sound of the water is loud. If it is too close to the river, the rumbling sound of the water will make it difficult for people to sleep. Moreover, it is also more dangerous. The river rose again and was likely to wash them away, so the place where they camped was still nearly a mile away from the river.

In the middle of the night, Ning Xiao was awakened by the sound of footsteps. He jumped up and walked out of the tent in an instant. He saw a group of people appearing not far away. Because it was the ninth lunar month at this time, there were no more people in the second half of the night. The moon was out and the night was very dark, but Ning Xiao was a superpower and his eyesight was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Seeing that there were about a dozen people in the group, most of whom were holding farm tools such as hoes, and those people were walking towards the merchant's mule cart where the goods were parked, Ning Xiao suddenly understood Okay, these people want to rob the merchant’s caravan!
