Ancient natural disasters, walking sideways in the maximum level space!
Chapter 44: Roadside Village
The palace secret guard.
There were three teams of thirty people in total. They rode their horses all the way to Tan County, but they had no time to inquire about the news of the fugitive group.
Then a major earthquake occurred, and when the earthquake was over, Tan County was in ruins.
He sent someone back to report the earthquake to the emperor urgently, and left ten people to help the county magistrate treat the people.
The remaining people continued to rush forward. When they reached the big crack, they didn't know which direction the convict group was going, so they split into two teams.
People were sent to chase them in the east and west directions. As soon as they arrived at a place, they saw the corpses of officials, convicts, and wild animals all over the ground.
After inspection, it was basically caused by trampling. There were two cracks next to it. Judging from the scratches on the edge, someone must have fallen in.
The secret guard was shocked and hurried back to report.
When Emperor Mingde received the news of the earthquake, he issued several imperial edicts in succession to provide relief to the victims.
Before the food and supplies were delivered to the disaster-stricken areas, the other secret guards returned to the palace to report.
When Concubine Liang heard about the countless casualties among the exile team, she fainted. Princess Yaochi anxiously asked, "Have you found Jiang Yue's body?"
The secret guard replied that there was none, and Princess Yao Chi breathed a sigh of relief. If there was no corpse, then there was a possibility that he was still alive.
We can find him if he's still alive, so he ordered the secret guards to keep searching.
Concubine Liang fell ill again, feeling guilty and sorry for her sister for not even being able to save her daughter.
Emperor Mingde also received the news. After a moment of silence, he agreed to follow Princess Yaochi's instructions and continue the search.
As for Jiang Yue, ever since they got on the carriage, the two of them started living a happy life of eating and drinking all the way.
When the weather is too hot during the day, we put a basin of ice in the carriage. Now Xiaozhu has also learned to drive a horse-drawn carriage.
As Jiang Yue and I were getting ready, there were all kinds of ancient and modern delicacies on the small table in the carriage. Xiao Zhu said that the ones she had never seen before were given by her mother.
Anyway, Xiao Zhu is stupid and easy to deceive.
On the afternoon of the third day, we finally arrived at the gate of Li County, queued up to enter the city, and found an inn.
They went to the county government office and stuffed several silver notes into the county lieutenant's hand, and obtained two travel passes and new identities for the two of them.
As expected, money makes the world go round. Jiang Yue put the ID card into the space, and she will not be afraid of being wanted in the future.
Due to geographical reasons, Li County was not affected by the volcanic eruption, the river water was not polluted, and it was more than 100 miles away from the earthquake zone, so it was not affected at all.
The people still live their normal lives, they just hear the news but don’t experience it personally.
Jiang Yue and her friend changed back into women's clothes, put on hats, and went shopping.
Now there were no officials requiring them to assemble within a specified time, and there were no disasters in the city, so the two of them strolled happily in the streets.
If you see a nice hairpin on a stall, buy it; if you see a fun gadget, grab it right away.
I also took a stroll along the moat outside the city. The scenery was picturesque, with green trees and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in white mist, looking hazy.
If you stand on the top of the mountain, you might even be able to see a sea of clouds.
The water in the moat is so clear that you can see the bottom, and there is an old man fishing on the shore.
The young ladies in the city invited a few friends to go for a walk on the green grass by the river. Everything was a beautiful scene.
Jiang Yue stayed in Licheng with Xiao Zhu for two days. On the second afternoon, she wrapped herself tightly and went out to various shops to do some shopping.
The rice shop, drug store, cloth shop, wine shop, blacksmith shop, carpentry shop, pastry shop, roast duck shop, and bun and sesame cake shop were all half sold out.
On the morning of the third day, he took Xiaozhu, changed back into men's clothes, and left the city to continue heading east.
I don’t know why after they left, news of another god’s arrival spread in the city.
The imperial court sent a large number of troops to the earthquake-stricken areas for disaster relief. Because every household had stockpiled supplies before, although many people died in the earthquake, the survivors did not starve to death due to lack of supplies.
Officer Liu Yu woke up an hour after taking the medicine and saw that there were only a dozen subordinates around him.
Liu Yu woke them up and looked around, not knowing where he was. At this time, a piece of paper fell out of his bag.
There was some kind of pen that wrote down their current location and the route back.
When they opened the bundle, they found several banknotes and dry food inside. Liu Yu and Xiao Deng felt that Jiang Yue might have saved them, but they had searched everywhere nearby and did not see Jiang Yue or the maid.
When we followed the route back to the camp, we saw corpses everywhere.
Liu Yu and more than a dozen people knelt down, crying bitterly, dug a big pit and buried the bodies of the officials and the convicts together.
A dozen people could only return to Kyoto to report that the escort mission had failed, and they would be punished when they returned.
Jiang Yue and the other person came to a village with only about thirty households. It was close to the mountains, and a small river flowed slowly in the village, creating a pleasant scenery.
Jiang Yue planned to stay in this village for a few days. His butt was sore from driving the carriage for a few days.
I found the village chief's house and bought a small courtyard in the middle of the village. It was in a good location and clean.
There are six rooms in front and back, as well as a dry toilet and a kitchen, which is enough for the two of them.
The carriage drove into the yard. After the house was tidied, Xiaozhu cooked at home while Jiang Yue went out for a walk.
She put on some ordinary makeup and even taped a small scar on her face, otherwise her appearance would easily attract trouble.
This village is called Liujia Village. Everyone in the village has the surname Liu. The people are simple and easy to get along with.
It is five o'clock in the afternoon now. The villagers should have gone home for dinner, but this year is unusually hot, and everyone wants to work more while it is cooler, so there are still many people in the fields.
Jiang Yue walked on the path in the field with her scarred face. The children playing in the fields were not afraid of her. When they saw a stranger coming into the village, they looked at her curiously.
Everyone working in the fields knew that the village chief brought two people into the village at noon today and said that he had bought the house of Liu Laoer in the middle of the village.
So when they saw a group of children surrounding Jiang Yue, they just looked at her with a smile.
Jiang Yue took out the dragon beard candies she had bought in the county town from her pocket and gave two to each child. The children were so happy that they kept calling her "sister".
Walking to the edge of the field, I heard the old people chatting under the tree, "I heard that there was an earthquake in Tan County. Many people died. It's really pitiful."
"Yes, I heard that too. The ground over there is cracked and bottomless. It's scary."
"God is really not giving us a way out. The volcanic eruption in the northwest has affected Anhe and Kyoto. I heard that many people have been poisoned and many have died!"
An old man puffed on his pipe, "I also know that our northern neighbor, Liang, has moved its capital. Liang is close to our northwest mountain range, and was the hardest hit by the volcanic eruption, with countless casualties!
The land near the Liangguo Mountains has turned completely black, and all the crops have died! What a sin!
The King of Liang had no choice but to move the capital southeast! Alas, the people suffered."
A country has actually reached the point of moving its capital. How many volcanoes have erupted?
After a stroll back home, Xiaozhu had already prepared dinner.
Four home-cooked dishes, and some fruit wine taken out from the space to drink together.
The village was safe and the two of them relaxed.
