I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

After visiting the last village, Chenjia Village, and seeing that everyone had already rushed to the shelter, Li Lan and Zhou Liu drove away in the carriage with peace of mind.

Not long after we started walking, it started to rain heavily. The rain was so dense that it made it impossible to see the road ahead.

Zhou Liu, wearing the military green raincoat given by Li Lan, drove the carriage with great effort and tried to identify the direction.

"It's Saturday, you come and rest, and I'll catch the bus." Li Lan's voice came from the car.

"No, ma'am. I'm fine." Saturday replied loudly.

After hearing his words, Li Lan did not insist any longer.

……

the other side

After hearing Friday's report, Zhou Yuntian led his men down the mountain to find Li Lan and the others. As they reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered the Zhang family, who were planning to return home to avoid the rain.

"Young master, there are some villagers ahead." Zhou Da said, looking ahead through the rain.

Zhou Yuntian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't pay attention to it. Let's get on with our journey as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The group walked forward quickly in the heavy rain.

At this time, the Zhang family members were carrying their luggage, walking on the muddy and bumpy road eroded by rain, facing the heavy rain, supporting each other and moving forward with difficulty.

Seeing the group of people suddenly appearing around them, all wearing conical hats, straw raincoats, and swords at their waists, they couldn't help but stop in fear. Especially when they saw the man in the lead, his face half covered by the conical hat, and the cold aura emanating from his body, even their breathing slowed down.

At this moment, Zhang Meng (the youngest daughter of the Zhang clan leader), her delicate makeup washed away by the rain, shivered as she supported Huang Shi, internally complaining, "Dad too! Can't he just stay home? It's just raining! And my third brother, you're already off to the county school this morning! I would have gone too. I wonder what's become of Master Qian?"

Thinking of this, a look of shyness appeared on her face.

At this moment, a group of people walked past her. When she saw the person in the lead, although half of his face was blocked by a bamboo hat, he had a slender figure and a dignified temperament.

She thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled away Huang's hand, ignoring the rain on her face, and ran forward quickly, holding up her skirt. Huang suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground, splashing mud and water, and chewing mud all over her mouth.

Huang's second daughter-in-law saw Huang fall to the ground, wiped the rain off her face, and smiled mockingly. After a while, she ran forward and helped her up.

With a "Puh" sound, she spat out the rainwater in her mouth and said loudly: "Oh, mother, what's wrong? This little sister is really unfilial. She looked at a man and didn't even help her mother."

Huang, who had been helped up, had just spat out the mud in her mouth. After hearing what her second daughter-in-law said, she wiped the water off her face and was about to curse. Suddenly, a scream cut through the rain and came, frightening her so much that she quickly shut her mouth.

Following the sound, I vaguely saw a person lying on the ground not far away in the dense rain. Looking at the figure... I only heard Huang scream "Ouch", stomping her feet and running towards the heavy rain.

When she got there, she quickly turned the person over. The rain hit the person's face, washing away the yellow mud on his face and in his nasal cavity.

"Oh, Meng girl, my Meng girl, what happened?"

Huang shook her and cried.

After a while, the person in her arms coughed, opened her eyes, and saw Huang holding her, and burst into tears.

Huang's daughter-in-law, who was not far away, heard her crying and said "Pooh" to the ground, cursing in a low voice: "Shameless."

The Zhang family members who witnessed the whole process of Zhang Meng pretending to fall in front of the leading young master couldn't help but whisper to each other when they heard her crying.

When the Zhang clan leader heard the conversation, his face turned ashen with anger. He slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground, splashing water.

……

At this time, this side.

On Saturday, while driving a horse-drawn carriage and looking at the nearby Liujiawan, a smile appeared on the baby's face.

"Madam, let's hurry..."

Before he could finish his words, the horse suddenly neighed and the heavy carriage sank deeply into the mud. The carriage struggled in the mud like a trapped beast, unable to break free no matter how hard it tried.

Li Lan, who had been keeping an eye on the outside, felt the carriage swaying back and forth and quickly stepped out. Facing the rain, he jumped down and shouted, "Sheng Liu, get down quickly and hold the horse. I'll go check the wheels."

After hearing Li Lan's words and feeling the horse's restlessness, Zhou Liu quickly jumped off the carriage, grabbed the reins with one hand, and stroked its mane to soothe it.

Li Lan walked to the back of the carriage and tried to push it, but it didn't work. The carriage only moved forward a little bit. He thought to himself: No, the adhesion is too great.

The rain continued to hit her face, and she shook it off. After a moment's thought, she decided to try to lift the carriage. Just as she grasped the lower edge of the carriage with both hands, the entire carriage was suddenly carried forward by a force.

Li Lan, who had lost his support, closed his eyes and shouted in his heart: Damn it, God is going to kill me.

With a cry of "Ouch!", a figure fell heavily into the yellow mud mixed with rainwater. Li Lan, lying on the ground, raised his head with his hands, and the yellow mud on his hair and face fell down with the rainwater.

She spat out the muddy water in her mouth with a few "Pah" sounds, and without thinking, she cursed loudly: "Which bastard, who dares to tease me like this. I..."

Suddenly, he paused, staring through the rain at the slender figure rapidly approaching him, stunned. He lay prone on the ground, letting the big raindrops hit him, forgetting to react for a moment.
