Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 410: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (55)
The closer you get to Jiangnan, the more difficult the road becomes.

It's not that the road is bumpy, but there are a lot of refugees on the road. This is an official road, and bandits and robbers don't dare to commit crimes in such a place easily, so everyone only dares to walk here.

As more refugees came, it would affect the movement of the carriage. From time to time, they would stop and wait for the other party to come to the side of the road. Only after the road was cleared could the carriage continue to move.

Lin Yan lifted a corner of the car curtain and saw that everyone was not in a very bad situation. However, their faces were full of decadence.

There were naturally green trees on both sides of the official road, and there was no sign of famine. But if you looked down, you could see that the road was very muddy.

When they came, the carriage was followed by flying dust, but now, the wheels splashed up tiny dots of mud and water.

The refugees were dressed in ordinary clothes and carrying packages on their backs. They were probably heading to their relatives' homes. Their hometowns were probably flooded, and they had to find another way to survive.

When Lin Yan lowered the car curtain, her face was a little solemn. The situation was a little more difficult than she had imagined. Although it was not raining yet, the gloomy dark clouds in the sky had already shown everything.

I believe that it won’t be long, at most in a quarter of an hour, before the rain starts falling.

What should these refugees do then?
She knew she shouldn't be so naive, so she could only cruelly lower the curtains and pretend that she didn't see anything. The fate of others had nothing to do with her, she just had to take care of herself.

"Put away that pitiful expression. At least they are still alive." Ye Xiao glanced at her, without any comfort, but just told her the truth.

But it did work out well, yes, at least they survived the disaster.

Besides, the current situation is not bad, at least there is no drought. If there is drought, famine will follow, and there will be more difficulties.

She might have seen with her own eyes the practice of eating one's own children, a practice that appeared in history books.

Lin Yan touched her chest and sighed. She didn't have that much ability, her dream was just to let the children in the welfare home grow up healthily, so she could only ignore other people's affairs.

What’s the use of having a compassionate heart if you don’t have the ability to help others? It will only add to your troubles.

In the current situation, that is not the case. After all, she is here to help, at least in terms of curing illnesses and saving lives, she still has a say.

As expected, a quarter of an hour later, the rain began to fall. In just a few breaths, the rain poured down heavily, and the big raindrops hit the carriage, making a "pa pa pa" sound.

The noise was too loud and it was a bit annoying.

Because it was raining, the coachman couldn't see the road clearly, and the road surface was not very smooth, so the carriage would shake from time to time.

Even though we drive slowly and carefully, there are bound to be things we overlook.

Lin Yan pinched the corner of her clothes, thinking wildly. In such a confined space, or in such a dangerous environment, should she create some accidents to promote the occurrence of feelings?

But then she thought, this is already the case, and she is still thinking about all these random things. Isn't that inappropriate?
"Boom!"

But she heard a loud thunder and felt the ground shaking. Then, the carriage shook and she fell to the side uncontrollably.

I just happened to fall into a warm embrace, my whole body was dazed, with my eyes open, I subconsciously hugged the other person's waist helplessly.

The carriage stopped, and the whole space became very quiet. Only the sound of each other's heartbeats and the sound of raindrops could be heard. "Okay, get up." Ye Xiao patted her shoulder.

Lin Yan reacted, raised her eyes, met those cold eyes, and her cheeks turned red in an instant.

"I, I didn't mean it." She quickly released her hands from his waist and hurried back to her original position.

But when people panic, they are prone to making mistakes. She didn't know when her hair got caught on his clothes. So when she stood up, she only felt a scalp pain.

After struggling for a long time, he finally sat back down, but his face was extremely red, and he didn't dare to look around.

Ye Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at his messy clothes, a little absent-minded. Outsiders didn't know that his mind was also in a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Sir, it must be the earth dragon turning over."

A guard spoke outside the carriage and explained why the carriage was shaking violently.

The ancients said that the earth dragon turned over, which is an earthquake. It is estimated that it was because of the rain in the past few days. After the water volume surged, it affected the underground undercurrent and caused the earthquake.

However, they were far away, so there were only some aftershocks, and nothing dangerous happened.

After a short rest, the team started moving again.

It's just that the atmosphere in this carriage is a bit weird. Anyway, Lin Yan was too embarrassed to speak, so she could only secretly lift a corner of the curtain and observe the situation outside.

It can be clearly seen that the water level of a river in the distance has risen a lot. However, because the terrain here is relatively high, it will not flood here for the time being.

The water in that river was particularly turbid, with many dead branches, rotten leaves, and even... people floating in it.

Lin Yan couldn't bear to watch any longer. Even if she was cold-hearted, she wasn't a cold-blooded monster. How could she treat a life as a joke when it was in front of her?
"Brother, this flood may be more difficult to deal with than we imagined. I'm afraid..." She didn't dare to say the rest.

I'm afraid the plague is about to begin.

In such a situation, diseases are always around, and plague is the most serious. However, the officials here did not report it. I don’t know whether it really didn’t happen or they concealed something.

Or, they don't know either?
Ye Xiao heard the heaviness in her tone, and with his slender fingers he lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the dilapidated scene outside.

The refugees did not smile at all, and when they saw the team coming, they would subconsciously avoid them. They did not dare to get close, for fear that the government soldiers would point their weapons at them.

It was raining heavily, and the only thing those people had to keep out of the rain was a straw raincoat. The worst they had was a straw hat, which was completely useless.

If this continues, they would probably fall ill halfway before they reach their distant relatives' homes.

After lowering the curtain, his face became colder. He couldn't do anything right now. For ordinary people, the empty words of officials meant nothing. Only when practical things were done would they be convinced.

These ordinary people are just the tip of the iceberg. He needs to investigate thoroughly. If there are more serious situations in the Jiangnan area, he must rectify them!
