Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

“Rain is of course a good thing, but if it keeps raining it becomes a bad thing.

The drought has lasted too long this year, and I'm worried that it will continue to rain, which will cause another disaster."

Gao Zhijun said with a worried look on her face.

If it only lasts for one or two days, it's a good thing. Not only will the weather be cooler, but everyone can solve the problem of drinking water. The land will be moistened by the rain, and there will be a good harvest next year.

What she was worried about was that if it didn't rain for too long, there would be a flood.

After the flood, plague will follow. This is a natural law and cannot be avoided.

"Girl, why is this?"

When the head of the village heard Gao Zhijun's words, he was shocked. He didn't know why the maid would say there would be a disaster after a severe drought, but the maid's words were very effective and always came true.

Everything she said eventually came true, she was simply able to predict the future.

That's why the village head is worried.

When the villagers nearby heard Gao Zhijun's words, they also became panicked. They hoped that no disaster would happen again, otherwise how could everyone survive?

"Have you ever heard the old saying? A severe drought will be followed by a severe flood, and after a severe flood there will be a severe epidemic!"

Gao Zhijun explained her concerns to the villagers.

"Zhijun, you mean there will be a flood, and after the flood there will be a plague? Is there any basis for this?"

Huo Jinqian came to her side and asked her in shock.

This is not a joke. People with ulterior motives might accuse you of spreading rumors and causing trouble, which is a serious matter and you might even end up in jail.

During the time they were together, Huo Jinqian shamelessly called her Zhijun. She objected several times, but he still insisted on calling her Zhijun as usual. She really couldn't persuade him, so she had to let him call her that.

It's just a name anyway, and it won't lose any meat.

"This is the law of nature. After a severe drought, the weather is too hot and the ground bursts. The moisture in the ground is sucked dry and turns into water vapor. Then, when it meets the cold air from the clouds, it turns into rain." (Sorry, this is just a random guess. I hope you don't take it seriously.)

"Because the drought lasted too long, the ground absorbed more water, and more rain fell. With more rain, it naturally flooded and turned into waterlogging.

The flood destroyed houses, killed chickens, ducks, cows, horses, and even drowned civilians. When civilians and poultry drowned, they soaked in the flood water, which bred bacteria. When rats or civilians drank the water, plagues broke out.

Gao Zhijun just talked about it briefly without too much explanation. After all, she herself didn't know much about natural disasters. She just knew that there would be plagues when there were floods. This was the natural law in ancient times.

Ancient times lacked technology, knowledge, and medicine, and there was no way to prevent or control it.

Although the villagers and Huo Jinqian did not understand what Gao Zhijun said, they understood one thing: there would be a heavy rain soon, and after the rain there would be a plague that would kill many people.

After knowing this, the villagers were very worried. They felt that God would not let them live and wanted to kill them.

God - everyone has wronged it, this is none of its business, it is the law of nature, and it cannot stop it. It will not eat this dead cat.

"Girl, what should we do now?"

Although the head of the village was nervous, he felt reassured with Gao Zhijun around.

Since the girl said so, it means she has found a solution.

"We must get out of the mountains before it rains. If it rains, the mountain roads will be difficult to walk on. If there is too much rain, there will be landslides and mountain collapses, which will bury us here."

"I estimate that it will take about two days to get out of the mountains and reach Liangzhou. We can buy food in Liangzhou and sell the herbs. If the herbs are exposed to rain, they will go bad and cannot be sold."

"So, folks, for everyone's safety and for the sake of the herbs, we must leave the mountains quickly."

What Gao Zhijun is most worried about right now is that the villagers are trapped in the mountains. If there is lightning and thunder, and there are trees everywhere, they can easily be struck by lightning.

There are also medicinal herbs, which are dug by the villagers with great effort. If they are caught in the rain and fall on their hands and cannot be sold, it will really make it impossible for the villagers to make a living.

"We all listen to Miss Gao."

After the villagers finished speaking, they packed up their things and prepared to set off, determined to get out of the mountains before the heavy rain came.

No matter how tired, sleepy, hungry, or thirsty they were, the villagers kept on going without complaint and never thought of stopping to rest. They gritted their teeth just to get out of the mountains.

At noon the next day, the sky suddenly darkened and strong winds blew, causing the trees to rustle and the weeds and branches to fall to this and that. This was a sign of an approaching rainstorm.

"Fellow villagers, let's hurry up. A heavy rain is coming. In another hour or so we will be able to get out of the mountains and reach the official road."

Gao Zhijun looked at the suddenly changing sky and felt very worried. The strong wind was followed by heavy rain. The sky was beginning to darken and the road became even more difficult to walk on.

"Don't worry, Miss Gao. We will definitely get out of the mountains before the heavy rain comes. Come on!"

The villagers looked at the raging wind and the changing sky and knew that they could not slow down. For everyone's safety, they had to get out of the mountains as soon as possible.

Gao Zhijun let the old man sit on Niu Mountain, and the adults carried the children on their backs. As for the wooden barrels and other heavy and impractical items, they were thrown away if possible and they could wait until they arrived in Liangzhou to buy new ones. Nothing was more important than life.

A lot of things were thrown away, and everyone felt lighter and walked faster.

"Folks, hurry up, follow us!"

"Folks, come on, everyone, keep up!"

"The official road is just ahead, we've seen it, come on, everyone, follow it!"

With the help of Gao Zhijun, Huo Jinqian and others, they finally led the villagers out of the mountains and onto the official road one minute before the heavy rain came.
