Chapter 0116 – Luckily we have a carriage (1 / 2)

“This ……”

“Are we going to drive through the mud like this?”

Only to see the official road looking a mess, not more than ankle mud, scattered everywhere dead branches and broken wood and the size of the stones rolled down from the mountain.

The wagons could only pass if the road was cleared of obstacles first, and there was no way for the officers and soldiers to get those who were not injured to start clearing the road of debris.

Walking and stopping, until dark they walked to a village, by which time the vast majority of the people were already in a state of disarray, with mud everywhere on their bodies and faces.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think they’d rolled in the mud.

“Sister-in-law, it’s fortunate that we have a carriage, or else we would definitely be covered in mud as well.” Shen Wanjing was once again glad that they hadn’t lost their carriage.

Now the only ones who can still keep clean on their bodies are Lan Luoluo and the others, with the strength and ability no one dares to say a word against them for sitting in the carriage and not working with their hands.

The officials looked at the village not far away and urged the people to move quickly, “We’ll borrow a night in this village tonight, so everyone walk faster.”

Only by the time they moved to the entrance of the village, they found that the doors of all the homes in the village were closed.

Wu Peiyu looked at the village that did not see a single bright light or fireworks from the carriage, “Luo Luo, why does this village look like it has no people?”

“I don’t think so, we’ll know when the officials and soldiers ask.” Lan Luoluo knew through her divine sense that there were people in the village, and that the officials and soldiers had already gone to knock on the door of the nearest house.

Only after the officials knocked on the door for half a day did a man’s angry voice ring out from the courtyard.

“You stragglers hurry up and leave, you come to plague us when your own homes are destroyed by the flood. Tell you all that today I will fight with you ……”

The gate opened, only to see rushed out of the yard a few with hoes and kitchen knives of the Hanzi, just in the see outside the door stood is wearing official uniforms of the officials when the hands of the weapons are fixed in mid-air.

“Official …… official.” The man hurriedly put down the hoe in his hand, and hurriedly explained, “The official is sorry, just thought that the knockers were those stragglers.”

The official who knocked on the door waved his hand to show that he didn’t care, “Is the mayor of your village available? Where is his house?”

“You’re looking for the village chief, sir? Grasshopper will take you to ……”

Led by the villagers the officers and soldiers soon found the village headman, who looked embarrassed when he learned that it was the officers escorting the exiles who wanted to stay in the village.

“Sir, it’s not that the grass people won’t let you stay, it’s just that as you’ve seen along the way, this heavy rain has washed away quite a few houses in the village. The village is afraid that there aren’t enough empty houses ……”

The village situation official also saw it and knew that the village head was telling the truth, “No harm done, just find a spacious clearing that’s dry enough.”

Spacious, clean open spaces? In the village that would only be the threshing floor.

The village headman brought the man to the threshing floor in the center of the village then carefully said, “Sir, if you don’t mind there are still two empty houses in the grass people’s home, so you can make do in the grass people’s home.”

It was better to have a house to sleep in than to sleep out in the open, and the official hastened to agree.

A hundred people into the village or made a small noise, many people are lying on the wall to look out, see the village chief and a few officials walking in front of them will shrink back their necks.

It looks like the officials who escorted the prisoners came to the village to stay overnight, as long as they don’t let the stragglers come over to rob things, it’s good to close their doors and windows villagers returned to their own houses.

Arranging those people to leave a few officials to guard those prisoners, Bald Li took the other officials to the village chief’s house to borrow a room.
