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

Chapter 411: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (56)
As soon as we arrived at the city gate, we saw a group of people waiting for a long time. The local official in charge was wearing an official uniform and stood there respectfully, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

The name of the 9,000-year-old daimyo is so well-known that no one dares to approach it. Because of his terrifying reputation, a vacuum zone has formed in this place, and no one dares to approach it.

The people outside lowered their heads, and even if they were curious, they didn't dare to approach. After all, according to rumors, the Nine Thousand Years Old didn't need a reason to kill people. As long as he didn't like you, he would kill you directly.

Life is more important, so leave curiosity to others.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Ye." Lord Li hurried forward and saluted.
Without much greeting, after exchanging a few words, the group headed towards the yamen.

Lin Yan sat in the carriage without showing her face, but she opened the curtain and looked out the window. The situation in the city seemed better than outside, but everyone was in a heavy mood.

A few heartless people just live their lives without disturbing others.

There were many refugees in the city, most of them were wet, carrying packages, and walking on the street in panic. They didn't know what their fate would be, nor where to go next.

There were many porridge stalls on the street, but this method could not last long. The grain store could not continue to donate its own rice for free, and the government's granary could not last too long.

If there was support from the imperial court, they could hold on. But this was not a long-term solution. If it was just about food, this matter would not be so difficult.

Floods, in fact, we have to worry about the water problem, because the water is not drinkable. It has rained for so many days in a row, even if we want to boil water, we can't use dry firewood.

And there are more diseases than drought.

Lin Yan felt very heavy-hearted. She could almost foresee what would happen in the disaster-stricken areas. She had only seen it in the memorials of officials before, but now that she had experienced it in person, she felt that her power was extremely small.

Ye Xiao and his party were invited to the Li Mansion as guests. Since they were distinguished guests from the court, they could not neglect them easily. As soon as they sat down at the table, they could see the whole table of food.

It looked full, but in fact, there were no expensive dishes. Common pork, eggs, vegetables and the like, very homely, but this was the limit of what Lord Li could offer.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, and the other party thought it was a sign of dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to explain, he heard him say: "The current situation is special, and we cannot be extravagant. Lord Li, please save some money if you can."

Lord Li, who was sweating just now, felt that all his veins became more unblocked after hearing this. He was worried that Lord Ye was a difficult character, but now it seems that the rumor was wrong.

"What Lord Ye said is true. I just think Lord Ye must be tired after so many days of running around, so I asked the kitchen to make more. Don't worry if you can't use it all. If the servants in the mansion can also have a share, I think they will be very grateful to Lord Ye."

Lin Yan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but admire this man's eloquence. He not only explained that this was not a waste, but also raised Ye Xiao's position, making him win the hearts of the people.

Since that's what he said, the meal can only be eaten this way. And since it's already been cooked, it's impossible for the chef to change the dishes back to their original state.

Besides, after traveling for so long, even though I had the best food and drinks on the road, the mental torture was not light. I didn't sleep well, and thinking about the flood, naturally my complexion didn't look good.

So after lunch, I didn't go to observe the situation first, but to take a rest. If I suddenly fainted while patrolling, it would be a joke.

Besides, it was raining heavily now, so there was no chance to go out. She could only wait until the rain was a little lighter before going out to have a look. No matter what Ye Xiao thought, Lin Yan wanted to have a good sleep first. Rescue could be carried out at any time, but if she didn't catch up on her sleep, she might die suddenly.

The Li family arranged her and Ye Xiao in the same courtyard, but the rooms were not in the same direction. The bed was very soft, and there were several maids serving on the side. It was hard not to be impressed by this treatment.

The rain outside kept falling, hitting the roof, the ground, and the leaves, making a crackling sound. At first I thought it was a bit noisy, but after a while, I got used to it and it felt like a regular pattern.

In this symphony, Lin Yan fell into a deep sleep, her brows and eyes relaxed, and it was obvious that she had a sweet dream.

On the other hand, Ye Xiao didn't rest at all. He just closed his eyes and rested his mind. When he saw that the rain was not so heavy, he took Lord Li out.

It is best to solve the flood problem as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more likely it is to cause trouble. He took this to heart. Moreover, because of the flood problem, his own treatment time was postponed. How could he not be anxious?

The severity of the flood in Jiangnan was similar to what was imagined, or even more serious, but it was not yet irreversible. There were still casualties, after all, sudden mudslides or floods would always take away some unlucky people.

The government has been so worried about what to do these days to appease the people that they don't know what to do. Even though they want to control the flood, they don't have the ability to do so, so they can only watch.

Now that the imperial court has sent people over, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sir, please save my man!"

"Give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for a long time."

"My home! It's all flooded. It's gone. Everything is gone..."

After leaving the city and coming to a village, we could hear the wailing sounds coming from afar.

The village was not located on high ground, so the flood had only submerged half of the village. Everyone's belongings were floating in the water, but no one dared to go down to pick them up.

It is unknown what is in the water, and the water is flowing very fast. If you are washed away, there is no way to save you.

In addition to the furniture, there were also many dead chickens and ducks floating in the water, and even a few pigs swimming in the water. The scene looked a bit funny, but now was not the time to laugh.

Ye Xiao made a prompt decision and sent people to settle these people. The imperial doctors he brought also came forward one by one to take their pulses.

As for those trapped in the village, people were sent to rescue them on bamboo rafts. In short, no more people could be allowed to die.

When Lin Yan woke up, an hour had passed. The rain had become much lighter, so it wouldn't be a big problem to go out now.

After walking out of the room, I realized that Ye Xiao didn't rest for long before going out.
