Happiness System

Wen Yujin smiled without saying anything. In the wilderness, are there more choices?

Seeing him like this, Meng Yuxi shut up silently. She shouldn't show off her useless IQ at a time like this!

After another day, the rain became lighter and the rising water level miraculously receded.

The Prince of Kang next door immediately ran over to discuss things with Wen Yujin. Normally, the main team should be ahead of them, but now the situation is uncertain.

Whether to continue waiting or not, this needs to be decided as soon as possible.

"I think the main group must be ahead of us. Maybe they are waiting for us in the next city. I think we should set off as soon as possible to catch up with them."

It has to be said that Prince Kang is still very confident in Daqi.

But Meng Yuxi had to pour cold water on him, "Don't you think it's strange that the water has receded? I guess the rain and water will come back soon. No matter whether the team is in the front or the back, it is not a wise choice to leave now."

Their current situation feels similar to the prelude to a tsunami. The water is sucked away first, and then it is returned in double the amount after the tide recedes.

"The sky has not cleared up yet and the road conditions are unknown. It is indeed not a wise decision to travel now." Wen Yujin believed his wife. If she said it would rain, then it would definitely rain. The next section of the road is mountainous and it is indeed dangerous.

Prince Kang smiled bitterly, "It's me who was too anxious!"

Wen Yujin patted his shoulder and said, "Everyone is trying to get closer to their relatives. I understand, but don't rush it. Always put your own safety first!"

They agreed to wait for three more days. If there was no rain and no one came, they would set off for the next city.

After the discussion, they immediately arranged for people to go out and investigate the news.

I didn't expect to get good news so soon this time.

"Master, Master, they are coming, the main force is coming, we see the Daqi flag! There are so many people!"

Riding horses is not allowed in Yucheng City. The guard ran back and after saying a few words, he leaned against the door and gasped for breath.

It just so happened that Prince Kang and the others were still at the Wen family's place. Seeing the men about to leave, Meng Yuxi hurriedly stopped them and said, "Bring some money and rent two houses in advance!"

Wen Yujin nodded, took the silver, led the horse and went out with them.

Meng Yuxi took out some more silver and asked Xiaoxia to call someone to go out and buy some food. Xiaoxia took the silver and walked out with a smile. This time she did not complain about the rising prices.

If you don't hurry up and buy now, when the main force enters the city and finds silver to spend, and there are still shops open here, you won't be able to rob them!

I just don't know if the main force has encountered any problems and how much supplies are left.

After thinking for a while, she took out some more silver and gave it to Xiao Xia, "Take your people to buy more cloth and other things, as well as shoes and socks, which are consumables. Buy more of them as well. Also, prepare more rainproof cloths."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Xiao Xia was too nervous to leave these matters to other people, so she had to do it herself.

In this way, all the horses and carriages in the house were sent out.

So no matter how anxious Meng Shifeng and the others were, they could only wait at home.

Nearly half an hour later, Wen Cheng came back to report that he had found the people from the Wen and Meng families and had rented the house, which happened to be the two families next door. He had already asked a few women from Yucheng to come and clean the house.

Meng Yuxi nodded, "Have you bought the ingredients? Let's make some hot food that's easy to digest first."

Wen Cheng quickly arranged for someone to do it.

Time seemed to pass abnormally slowly. Uncle and nephew of the Meng family kept walking around in the house. Especially after it got dark again, several of them sighed anxiously.

Meng Yuxi felt dizzy after seeing this, so she simply drove them to the newly rented yard next door and asked them to keep an eye on the people working there.

"Here they come! They're back!"

It was drizzling outside. Meng Yuxi was sitting in her room sewing clothes, with two oil lamps lit beside her to add light.

Hearing the noisy noise, she looked down from the window. When she saw a familiar figure, she put down her needle and thread and walked downstairs.

"Brother Jin, are you back?"

"The ground is slippery, don't come over here."

Wen Yujin stopped his wife immediately when he saw her doing that. He arranged for someone to carry the people in the carriage to the room. Then he walked over and said, "Xi'er, I've brought back grandpa, grandpa, father-in-law, and uncle. You can show them after they've been settled. I'll tell you about other things later."

Meng Yuxi nodded. Seeing that he was soaked, she looked at him worriedly and said, "Why don't you know how to avoid the rain? There's hot water in the kitchen. Brother Jin, go soak in the hot water and change your clothes!"

Turning around and seeing several people being carried to the second floor, her brows furrowed even deeper.

Wen Yujin nodded at her forehead and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem, just take care of it!"

Meng Yuxi nodded and urged him to take a shower and change clothes, then followed him upstairs.

After checking my grandparents, father, and brothers, I found that the problem was not serious. It was just common typhoid fever. It was estimated that it had been two or three days. The lack of suitable medicine made it a bit serious. In addition, long-term hunger and malnutrition...

For ordinary people, any of these would be fatal, but for the Wen family, they are nothing.

After arranging for someone to give them a hot bath and change them into clean clothes, Meng Yuxi went to get medicine for them personally.

Fortunately, the symptoms are similar, so it’s not too much trouble to just boil them together.

When I finished my work and returned to the room, Wen Yujin had also returned.

"Brother Jin." Meng Yuxi hugged him from behind.

She had just heard that the Wen family suffered heavy losses this time. Apart from the supplies, there were less than twenty people who returned.

Including the seven or eight people they picked up on the way, they lost half of their people!

Most of those guards grew up with Wen Yujin, so naturally their feelings towards them are different.

Fortunately, most of them are just missing, and only a small number are confirmed dead.

Think positively, maybe these people are waiting for them at the next stop!

The most troublesome thing is that the Wen family’s doctor is also missing, and now no one knows whether he is dead or alive.

After a while, Wen Yujin turned around and hugged her.

Wen Yujin's emotions came and went quickly, and he pulled Meng Yuxi to sit on the couch.

He briefly explained what happened just now when he went to pick someone up, and then reminded, "The court doctor got lost during the second storm, and what they experienced on the way was even more dangerous than what we experienced.

My father-in-law and the others' lives were saved by the royal family. Go and check what you have, and then we can go back."

Meng Yuxi agreed, "I still have a few precious medicinal herbs, as well as some medicines for health and self-defense. Can I give you these first?"

Wen Yujin nodded, "Pack your things and I'll deliver them myself tomorrow, and this matter will be over."

The royal family protected them and they made many contributions. They were always the first to rush forward when food and people were needed.

These accounts are not clear at all. It should be said that they have not been clear since the older generation.

Wen Yujin's father also had a special relationship with Emperor Hongyuan. In fact, the deaths of Wen's father and mother were also somewhat related to Emperor Hongyuan.

Of course, these are all things of the past. There are many people who have connections and friendships with Emperor Hongyuan. He was willing to help the Meng family, so naturally he had his own reasons.

Let’s not talk about these things anymore. The next day when Wen Yujin went to deliver something, the water outside was already above his knees.

When he hurriedly sent the things out and hurried back, the water had already begun to flood into the house.

The wood they had obtained before was now put to use. The strong men built a platform more than one meter high and drove all the horses onto it. The group of horses were squeezed on it uncomfortably and could not even turn around.

Nearly 40 people in the family are all huddled on the second floor. It is lively, but it is also really crowded!

At this time, the temperature had dropped to more than ten degrees, and Meng Yuxi was really worried that it would enter an extreme cold mode.

By then, not only the people of the Southern Kingdom, but even the people of their Great Qi Kingdom will not be able to resist.

Fortunately, the temperature did not drop further.

The rain kept switching between heavy rain and torrential rain, and the gates of Yucheng had been flooded.

That area is a low-lying area, and the residents nearby have suffered a lot. The houses there were built with two floors in consideration of flooding during the rainy season, but now the second floor has also been flooded, so the city lord can only arrange to move people to higher places.

Residents living on higher ground are also trembling. Those are civilian areas, and the houses are all one-story with a small attic. Now everyone there lives in the attic. If the water level rises again, they will also have to move!

The most helpless were the people of Daqi. They rented a one-story house for the sake of cheapness, but the house was flooded and they could only squeeze into the small room.

No one told them that there would be floods in the city!

If the water level rises any further, they will have to climb onto the roof for safety! Help!

Fortunately, the water level in Yucheng has probably reached its limit. Although the rain is still falling, everyone’s attic has been saved!

The water level on the first floor of Meng Yuxi's house has reached one meter.

The most frustrated and bored people in the group are probably the able-bodied men.

Wen Cheng stared at the water level and said with resentment, "If I had known that Madam wanted to build a boat, I would not have stopped her. Otherwise, the brothers would have gone out to look for supplies, but at least they could have sailed out to earn some money!"

His mistress's ideas are always one step ahead of others, but she never disappoints anyone!

Wen Qing pointed to the small platform where the horses were standing. "Well, it's not an obstacle. It's just that we didn't have the blueprints and didn't find a shipbuilding talent, so we didn't have time to build the boat. But now we've used it!"

The guards who participated in the logging were silent, but the guards who did not participate and just returned were sour, "You actually still have the mind and time to do other things!"

"That's right, why wasn't I the one who got lost and was picked up by the lady?"

"Don't mention it, life with Madam is indeed the easiest. Although Madam looks unreliable and actually is unreliable, she is really lucky!"

"I'll tell you a secret, the Heavenly Master is just that good. His ability is not even as good as our wife's half-baked calculation skills!"

A group of guards and servants who had just returned were so jealous of themselves and started to complain about what happened to them later.

As for Meng Yuxi, she was also extremely bored. Being stuck in the house in this horrible weather was even more fun than traveling.

She rubbed her sore eyes, put down the book, walked to the platform and looked down, "Brother Jin, look over there, are there any fish?"

Wen Yujin took a look and said, "Looking at his figure, it seems to be."
