After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 190 Practicing
The clouds were thick and the rain was pouring.

The rain slapped on the carriage, and the wind blew the curtains, making it chill inside and out.

Traveling upriver along the Lijiang River, the cars and horses were exhausted, and the drivers were all shivering in the cold wearing bamboo hats.

At this time, ten days had passed since Shen Xian and his party set off from Yuhua Prefecture. According to the original journey, they should reach the capital in five days.

However, the wind and rain have been raging in the past few days, the road has become more and more muddy, people are exhausted, and the forward speed has become much slower.

Shen Xian originally thought that going to the capital along the road would be filled with poems and distant places, but she didn't know that after a day or two of fun, the bad weather came. Apart from solving physical problems, she hardly got out of the carriage.

Lifting the blanket on his legs, Shen Xian stretched his cold little hands into the blanket to warm him up.

Zhao Shun lowered the car curtain with a worried look on his face.

"If it rains like this again, the Lijiang River will inevitably swell, and the official road will probably be flooded by then."

Hearing this, Shen Xian felt a little uneasy. Once a flood occurs, he will be stranded in the wild at least, or his life will be endangered at worst. The magnificence of nature cannot be resisted by humans.

"Sir, what shall we do now?"

Zhao Shun thought for a moment, spread out the map to look at it, traced a narrow path with his fingertips, and then nodded slowly.

"To be on the safe side, we should take a detour from Qi County. Although it will take a little longer, it is better to be safe."

"Then do it."

Shen Xian stopped the carriage as he spoke, discussed with a few drivers, and planned to change the route.

Seeing the distressed faces of several coachmen, Shen Xian immediately assured: "Don't worry, we will add money to you after the diversion, so you won't suffer."

The coachman waved his hand and said sincerely: "Boss, it's not a matter of money or not. The sheep intestines road in Qi County is full of bandits, and it's even more unsafe to go from there."

Bandits... bandits again...

Bad memories appeared in Shen Xian's mind, and he frowned slightly.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Shun said immediately: "In this case, we will continue on our way according to the original plan, and strive to reach the capital before the water rises."

Making this decision was a helpless move, the brothers and sisters of the Niu family and Liu Qing didn't say anything, it's just that they didn't catch up with the good times.

However, the sky failed as people wished, and it rained continuously for three consecutive days.

When Shen Xian and his party walked to Tianyang Pass, which was a hundred miles away from the capital, the raging river beat against the banks, and the water had already risen to the level of one's calf.

The horse was struggling to move, and the wheels of the carriage were always stuck in the mud, and the group of people were in a mess.

Seeing this situation, the coachman was heartbroken, and quickly persuaded: "Master, there are a hundred miles left, you should go on your own, if you continue like this, the horse will be exhausted to death."

Both Shen Xian and Zhao Shun were reasonable people, knowing that the carriage would not be useful, they packed up and saluted, threw some unimportant things and got off the carriage.

Fortunately, the entire group were hard-working people, no one complained, and they quickly gathered together.

The rain was raging, and the six of them walked in the water with difficulty wearing bamboo hats, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Shen Xian drenched the cold rain, and said while walking: "Everyone hold on, we must enjoy it when we get to the capital, otherwise we will be sorry for the journey."

Niu Yu sucked heartlessly and said: "I heard that the roast duck in the capital is a must, and I will eat a whole one by myself when the time comes."

Niu Lei stared, and looked back at Liu Qing and Yuechan who were supporting each other.

Such a tiger sister, or else why no one wants her.

As for Liu Qing and Yuechan, it is indeed a different style of painting. The scholar who is just in love is cautious, and said in a worried tone: "Sister Yuechan, be careful, there is a rock here."

Yuechan smiled shyly, "Thank you Brother Liu Qing."

Shen Xian's ears twitched, feeling that he was doing too much to enliven the atmosphere, the atmosphere was good.

Zhao Shun observed meticulously, with a smile on his lips, he supported Shen Xian's willow leaf waist.

"Miss, be careful, there is a pit here."

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Xiang."

The brothers and sisters of the Niu family rolled their eyes angrily, and walked to the front with the water dripping.

Walking in the water consumes the most energy. After a while, several people were exhausted and out of breath.

Shen Xian has always felt that a difficult journey can test whether a relationship is stable or not.

But when Zhao Shun picked her up without hesitation, Shen Xian felt that there was something wrong with this passage, and a sentence should be added at the end 'unless this person is strong enough. '

Niu Yu and Niu Lei brothers and sisters were of the same mind, they didn't quarrel with each other, they walked forward silently with their arms, they have been here for so many years, Shen Xian was not surprised.

Now Shen Xian is more worried about the latter couple, Liu Qing and Yuechan have just fallen in love and then faced a test, if they don't have a firm mind, supporting each other will eventually become a drag on each other.

Liu Qing is a powerless scholar, and her physical strength is not much better than that of women. This is the status quo of most scholars. Not everyone is like Zhao Shun, who is full of tendons.

The emaciated Yuechan was like duckweed in the water, if it wasn't for Liu Qing's support, she might have been washed away by the water.

Although the soles of Liu Qing's feet were sore, she was still in a stalemate and never let go for a moment.

Yuechan knew that she was lagging behind, so she struggled slightly.

"Master Liu, let me go."

Liu Qing shook her head again and again, "How can it be done, the water is so strong, how can you hold on."

Yuechan lowered her head, her tone a bit self-blame, "But I will only drag you down."

Hearing this, Liu Qing squeezed out a smile, and asked softly: "If I fail to achieve anything in the future, will you let me go first?"

Yuechan's heart beat faster, although Liu Qing didn't say it clearly, but some things were self-evident.

"Concubine... As a concubine, I will never let you down."

After several hours of torment, Shen Xian and his party finally saw the dam built by the militiamen to isolate the water.

A group of people stood on the solid ground after a long absence.

Niu Yu sat on the sandbag without any scruples, panting and said, "I can't do it, I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted."

Niu Lei supported the tree and gasped for a moment, his lungs were burning with pain.

Although Zhao Shun's complexion did not change, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The happiest thing was Shen Xian. When he was tired, he would lie on Zhao Shun's body to rest for a while, and then he would get down and continue walking without expending any energy at all.

After the four of them landed, they slowly turned their heads to look at Liu Qing and Yuechan. From their pale faces, it could be seen that the two of them were already at the end of their battles.

Niu Lei wanted to go up to help them, but was stopped by Shen Xian, this road must be completed by themselves to be considered complete.

Liu Qing dragged Yuechan ashore with difficulty, and then climbed up in a panic.

The two people who fell in love for the first time looked at each other and smiled, secretly making a promise for life.
