I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 532 Worry
Ning Pengpeng looked at the heavy rain outside the temple just now, but was not worried that he would not be able to leave for a while.

Instead, he was worried that if such a heavy rain lasted for several days and nights, there would be a possibility that the embankment would collapse.

After all, this was in ancient times, not modern times.

Too much rain has made the dikes weak.

And if the dam is washed away, the downstream villages will be affected.

If it is only a small area affected by the disaster, as long as the local government saves itself, there shouldn't be any major problems.

It is afraid that a large area will be affected, and then the local government will not provide timely rescue.

In that case, it is very likely that the corpse will be thrown into the wild.

If there is a dam, Ning Pengpeng is a little worried. If the heavy rain breaks the dam, will their current location be the downstream of the dam?
Of course, this should be a headache for the court.

Moreover, whether there is a dam here is a problem.

Luo Chengen poured a bowl of hot water, and blew it until it was almost enough to drink, before handing it to the county magistrate.

Ning Pengpeng said thank you, took it and took a sip.

The warm hot water entered the stomach, and the body that had felt cold due to the rain suddenly felt much warmer.

"County Lord, there is still some distance from the official road here.

If you want to go to the county town to rest, you need at least four hours' journey. "

Although the journey of these four hours is not very far.

But now their location is remote and full of mountain roads.

It is not easy to find this ruined temple.

If you drive the carriage under such heavy rain, you will undoubtedly seek your own death.

Hearing the answer from the people below, although Ning Pengpeng felt a little uneasy, she stopped thinking of continuing to walk in the rain.

"Go and change into a clean set of clothes, and then warm yourself by the fire, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold."

Seeing the other party's drenched appearance, Ning Pengpeng called Luo Chengen to set up a few more fires, so that everyone could warm up well so as not to get sick.

Hearing what the county lord said, Luo Chengen was a little embarrassed.

After all, although this ruined temple is big enough, there is not much firewood to burn.

If there are more fires, a lot of wood will be needed to burn them.

But judging by the rain outside, it will definitely not stop for a while, and it will not be possible for the county master to have no fire to cook by then, right?

However, the county lord has already given such orders, so he can only follow through.

Just as the people who went to investigate changed into dry clothes and sat by the fire to warm up, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the ruined temple.

Then, there was a loud sound, approaching from far away.

"The magistrate of the county doesn't know what to think about this terrible weather. Let's send a letter to Fucheng."

As the words fell, three middle-aged men dressed as government servants walked in from outside the ruined temple.

While walking, he was still shaking the rain on his body.

However, seeing that there were already people in the temple, the three officials stopped and looked at each other.

The leading officer among them, looked around, and when he saw Ning Pengpeng, his eyes paused for a moment.

However, soon his eyes fell on Luo Chengen.

"I didn't know there was someone here, so I rushed in and disturbed you!"

The official thought that Ning Pengpeng was a female family member and Luo Chengen was the person in charge, so he bowed his hands to him and said politely.

Luo Chengen got up and bowed back.

"This is a deserted temple, where does the word "disturb" come from.

It is also fate to meet here. "

The two parties were polite, and Luo Chengen invited the three of them to warm up by the fire together, and soon, the chat became lively.

Ning Pengpeng sat on the inside, listening to what the three officials said.

After Luo Chengen warmed them with ginger tea, they let down their guard against Luo Chengen and his group.

Of course, the main thing is that they just went to Fucheng to deliver a letter!

There was nothing that could be coveted by others, and they were government servants, so naturally they didn't think that Luo Chengen and his group would have any crooked thoughts about them.

"It seems to be some distance away from Qingzhou Prefecture, right?"

Luo Chengen thought about the route on the map he had seen before, and when he heard what they said, he immediately asked with some doubts.

"That's right, it will probably take two days to reach Qingzhou Prefecture.

But our county magistrate doesn't know why, he insisted on sending us a letter to Mr. Futai as soon as possible, because we are afraid that something will happen in the county if we are too late.

Look outside, it's raining again and again, I don't know if there will be an accident in the county, but we may have an accident, that's for sure. "

Among the three officials, the youngest one muttered with dissatisfaction.

The leader's face darkened immediately, he gave him a hard look, and said angrily.

"Guo Shihe, your lord's decision, is it up to you and me?"

"Brother... I...!"

When Guo Shihe was yelled at like this, he muttered immediately, and glanced at the leading official with some anxiety.

Guo Shihai glared at him angrily, then replied in a low voice.

"Outside, it's right to call my head."

"All right, all right, we are all brothers, don't argue over such trivial matters.

Shihe, your elder brother is right, we still have to work under the adults!
Even if there is something, don't just bald out your mouth casually. "

Another official, Liang Xing, directly persuaded him in a low voice.

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Chengen and the others.

From the appearance, this group of people should also pass through Luo'an County.

They should not pass on their complaints to their immediate superiors.

However, it is better to say less about sailing for thousands of years.

Luo Chengen didn't expect that Guo Shihe would complain about their immediate superiors when he opened his mouth, so he immediately laughed and found an excuse to change the subject.

As a result, the atmosphere on both sides became a little awkward.

Originally, Luo Chengen wanted to find some excuse, and then asked about the situation in Luo'an County.

After all, from what Guo Shihe said just now, the magistrate of Luo'an County is very worried about the safety of the county.

However, before he could ask, Ning Pengpeng took the first step to ask.

"Is there a dam in the upper reaches of Luo'an County?"

Hearing the old lady's question, Guo Shihai and Guo Shihe looked at each other in blank dismay, and Guo Shihe asked with a hint of surprise.

"Have you ever been to Luo'an County?"

Just now, he, his eldest cousin and Brother Liang exchanged glances in secret, and the group of people looked at each other so tightly that they had never seen each other before.

Now hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, in addition to Guo Shihe's surprised question, Guo Shihai and Liang Xing's hearts also tightened, and they stared at Ning Pengpeng with doubts.

Being stared at by them, Ning Pengpeng didn't panic at all, but shook his head.

"I haven't been here before, but this little brother said that the magistrate of Luo'an County once said that he was afraid that something would happen in the county.

Now that there is such a heavy rain outside, apart from the heavy rain making the river bigger and faster, causing the dam to burst, for a while, the old man really can't think of other possibilities.

That's why I'm asking you, there is a dam in the upper reaches of Luo'an County! "
