A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

Some people felt a chill in their hearts after hearing this. Why would the Marquis go to the North, a place of bitter cold?

Some people gave up, saying they didn't want to go to the North, as they were used to the South and couldn't adapt to the environment there.

Looking at Jiang Yi pleadingly, she said, "My lord, do we really have to go there? Northerners are fleeing to the south, what are we going to do there?"

"My mind is made up."

This is a bolt from the blue.

They stared blankly at Jiang Yi, their hearts sinking. Some, however, were resolute, declaring that wherever the Marquis went, they would follow him without hesitation.

The next day, most of them dispersed. Only about one-fifth of the people were willing to go to Shu with him; the rest chose to make a living on their own.

Here, long past the earthquake zone, there are still many people searching for places where they can settle down and be taken in.

Many of those who left harbored resentment towards Jiang Yi. Had he spoken earlier, they might have preferred to stay in Hangzhou and rebuild their homes. It would have been better than being stranded far from home, caught in the middle…

Jiang Yi didn't know what they were thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. In this life, they would part ways and never see each other again.

"Xiao Ning, let's scout ahead tonight and see if there are any obstacles ahead."

"Okay." Many people behind us were walking, so we couldn't let so many people take a detour.

On the fourth day after scouting the route, the sky was overcast, with dark clouds looming overhead, threatening an imminent storm. The sky felt so close, almost within reach, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Xia Ning was worried about the tsunami they had mentioned earlier, wondering if they would be affected since they had run so far away.

"There are mountains ahead, let's all head up the mountain."

Even without being urged, everyone was pushing themselves to climb up in this weather, with a large group of guards clearing the way. There was no other way; without a path, the carriages couldn't get up.

After climbing for more than three hours, they finally reached the top of the mountain. For some reason, the Marquis insisted on resting at the very top.

When they arrived, it hadn't started raining yet, so they sat on the ground, panting.

After cooking and eating, Jiang Yi organized the people to set up tents. The guards were all familiar with these large tents, so they were easy to set up. They were all extra-large, with each tent able to accommodate twenty people.

"Hurry up and set it up before it rains." The flat ground on the mountaintop isn't enough for them to pitch their tents, so they also need to cut grass and chop down trees.

Men, women, and children were all busy. The once quiet and deserted mountaintop was now unusually lively.

Before the tents were all set up, it started to rain. At first, it was just a drizzle, but gradually the rain intensified and seemed poised to pour down.

Fortunately, she had prepared a tent in advance; fortunately, there weren't too many people left behind; even more fortunately, they reached the top of the mountain before the heavy rain; and fortunately, they had plenty of raincoats.

Xia Ning looked at the heavy rain outside the carriage. Fortunately, she had also covered the entire carriage with super waterproof tarpaulin.

The guards, wearing raincoats, braved the rain to set up stables. Carts could remain outside, but horses could not. Fortunately, those who stayed were conscientious and united; after finishing their own tents, they joined in building the stables.

Emma.

Fortunately, the Marquis prepared so many temporary houses, otherwise what would they have done? With such heavy rain, not only would they not have enough time to build houses, but those temporary wooden sheds would also leak.

Following the Marquis, he indeed did not do it.

After the stables were set up, it was already completely dark. "Put it on top of the stables." Inside a carriage, there was a lot of tarpaulin. These horses all belonged to her space; they should be fine after getting rained on, right? The animals in her space all had exceptionally good constitutions.

It was two days later that everyone was fully settled.

Seeing the relentless downpour outside, the people were starting to panic. Was the sky leaking? It hadn't rained for so long before, would it rain for just as long now?

bah bah bah!

How could this be? How could it be? It's going to collapse in the second half of the month, okay?

With such heavy rain, I wonder if the area below will be flooded.

I glanced admiringly at the most luxurious tent. It was the Marquis who had foresight; seeing the weather was not right, he told them to run up the mountain, all the way to the very top.

At the time, I didn't understand why they would run up the mountain if it was raining. Shouldn't they have found a place to take shelter from the rain? Now I understand that the roads are slippery when it rains, and if the area below is flooded, it will be very difficult for them to climb up the mountain.

"How many days do you think this rain will last?"

Who knows?
