Chapter 195 Waiting
"It's been a day, did the pigeon bring the letter?"

Because of the carrier pigeons, Mei Berry and the others did not wander north like headless chickens this time.

After they left the pier that was destroyed by the flood in the morning, they walked for a long time and finally found a village nearby.

Earlier, Meiyou said that since there is a pier, there should be people living nearby.

However, it was obvious that when the flood came in this village, everyone fled in all directions.

The whole village is very dilapidated, and there are traces of floods everywhere. The places with high terrain and good lighting are fine, but the houses with low terrain are still soaked in sewage and silt with more than a foot high.

There seems to be no trace of the returnees in this village.

Occasionally, I don't know where it came from and waited for a rancid smell. If it wasn't for making it difficult for people looking for them, there is a high probability that Mei Berry would not be willing to come here.

Desolate, dead, and desolate.

This is true during the day, but at night, Mei Berry is afraid that if the wind blows, she will not be able to sleep.

This is different from the fear brought by the deep mountains and old forests.

In the end, Mei Berry and the others chose a small courtyard with bluestone bricks and tiles as a temporary resting place.

After confirming the location, they whistled for the pigeons and released the news.

After that, she and Meiyou cleaned the yard carefully.

Earlier, when they came, they found that there was no chain on the door.

When she entered the yard, she looked at the back room washed away by the flood, which further confirmed that people ran too hastily when the flood came.

The room was messy and stagnant, Mei Berry and the others didn't even want to look at it.

Fortunately, the weather is hot now, so they can work together in the yard outside.

It's just that the more she cleaned up, the more Mei Berry couldn't help sighing.

"The flood has receded for a long time, don't these people come back?"

"Everyone in the village ran away. Even if some people had accidents in the flood, there must be some people who survived and came back?"

Think about the people in Yunzhou, who have already come to Fucheng from their hometowns. Yanzhou, which is across the river, how come they disappear when they run away?
Hearing Mei Berry's doubts, Mei You thought about the terrain they saw along the way and said silently: "The terrain here is flat, and the flood is coming. If it rises sharply in a short time, it may be..."

I'm afraid no one will survive.

Meiyou didn't finish speaking, but Meiberry's gaze had already landed on the wall that had been eroded by the flood.

On the stone wall of about 1.8 meters, the traces left by the flood even spread to the top.

The house is still on the high ground in the village.

The terrain is high, even if the floods come, where can they escape to this land with a wide view and plains everywhere?

Mei Berry didn't speak anymore, she just looked at the loofah on the courtyard wall that survived the flood in a daze.

Nowadays, loofahs are old, and their stomachs are full of tough and rough pulp and seeds.

After all, they did not wait for the family who came back to plant them to return.

Mei You watched Mei Berry staring at the loofah in a daze, and felt that she was not in a good mood, so Mei You asked, "It's been a day, did the pigeon bring the letter?"

"It should be here, but I don't know how long it will take for them to come over."

Speaking of this, Mei Berry and Mei You couldn't help but look worriedly at Wang Beigu who was still sleeping.

That person was sober for a short while a day, and Mei You followed Mei You to check his injuries.

Mei You was very surprised that the wound treated by Mei Berry did not show any signs of deterioration and inflammation. Although Wang Beigu was angry, he did not have the high fever after the injury and infection.

It's amazing.

"It's getting late, I'll go find some food and clean water first."

Mei You said that she was about to leave, Mei Berry opened her mouth and remembered the other party's ability, and she also had concerns about Mei You avoiding herself.

"Well, sister, then you go first. I'll see if there's anything useful in the pocket on the mule's back. When I left earlier, I was so hasty that I almost forgot what was in the pocket."

"Ah."

So, when Meiyou came back with a large bucket of water in the wooden bucket she found somewhere, Mei Berry had already taken out the things she had stored in the system.

A small handful of red beans, two salted duck eggs, and a small handful of glutinous rice.

With such a combination, you can probably guess what to eat tonight.

"How do you keep these in your bag?"

"When I was in Fucheng, my parents and I specially prepared some in advance for the Dragon Boat Festival, but it rained all the time afterwards, so we didn't think about celebrating this festival.

The things I ate one after another are all leftovers... I originally put them in the bag and wanted to eat them on the way back..."

I don't know if Mei Berry's outfit is too similar, but Mei You doesn't think there is any problem.

But the fighting chicken who has been listening to Mei Berry say this is very disdainful standing on the cart at this moment!

[I don't eat this stuff!Pooh!I want to eat bugs!The kind that explodes! 】

Plum Berry: "..."

"Your chicken food is good."

Meiyou sighed, now they have been reduced to fighting for food with the chicken.

As the sky was getting darker, Meiberry and Meiyou, who had eaten one and a half eggs that day, couldn't wait to cook red bean and glutinous rice soup.

If it weren't for the fact that the mules and cubs had swam in the water, Mei Berry would have "taken out" a pack of brown sugar from the bag.

I don't know if it was because of the smell of the rice, but Wang Beigu, who had been sleeping all day, woke up on time when Mei Berry and the others were drinking red bean soup.

Then, he ate the red bean soup again.

This time, after Mei Berry and the others sent away the carrier pigeon who had already written a letter, Wang Beigu's expression relaxed visibly to the naked eye.

"Will they come soon when they hear the news?"

"meeting."

"That's good."

With Wang Beigu's guarantee, Mei Berry and Mei You's mood also became very good.

But after these things, there are some things that Mei Berry really doesn't feel uncomfortable.

"Why did your Jiubaoxuan mess with Chen Yuan?"

As soon as Mei Berry thought of Chen Yuan's mental illness, she added another sentence: "I have left the pass this time, and if I want to go back in the future, I will definitely not go through Jinghu Pass. The chief soldier is really... sick!"

"He has a disease."

Wang Beigu didn't expect Chen Yuan's background and couldn't help cursing after Mei Berry.

"Chen Yuan, the second son of Duke Fu. My aunt is His Majesty's noble concubine, and my cousin is His Majesty's favorite son, His Highness King Qi."

"He belongs to King Qi's gang?"

Just hearing about Chen Yuan's family background, it's hard not to think that he and King Qi are in the same group, right?
Regarding this, Wang Beigu did not expect that this Chen Yuan was loyal to someone else!

Even because they discovered this secret passage, the other party still suspected that the person he was loyal to was King Qi, and wanted to take this opportunity to catch them all at once.

This person also wanted to take advantage of this chaos to cut off King Qi's influence in Yunzhou.

It is impossible for him not to know that Xie Changan came to Yunzhou Fucheng before, but he never showed up and let Xie Changan deal with those people.

Thinking about it, it may not just be wise and safe.

"No wonder you are so arrogant."

The laymen Mei Berry and Mei You could only sigh with emotion at this moment that Chen Yuan did have the capital to be arrogant.

"Are you afraid of the people behind you? This time, you have offended Chen Yuan, and may even offend King Qi behind him."

Wang Beigu laughed and didn't say a word when he heard that, he just looked at the sky with his eyes empty, and after a while he asked Mei Berry, "What did you say in the letter you wrote?"

"Eh? I don't remember that. There are several pigeons. The writing is pretty good anyway. You are the one who is dying. Hurry up and bring the doctor here."

Listening to Mei Berry's description, Wang Beigu first fell into a strange silence, and then he seemed to discover something extraordinary.

"How many pigeons did you release?"

"Okay, how many?"

Mei Berry faintly felt that she had gotten into trouble.

Sure enough, when she spoke, Wang Beigu became agitated and short of breath: "Why are there several?"

"Just whistle, keep whistling, and as a result, many pigeons came one after another..."

She probably understood where she had offended Wang Beigu, and Mei Berry's voice became smaller and smaller in the end.

"is there a problem?"

"No..." Wang Beigu let out a foul breath and closed his eyes again.

Forget it, so be it.

I don't understand why the other party is suddenly melancholy, but Mei Berry is in a happy mood.

Many pigeons have many paths, isn’t it~
 Wang Beigu: My famous name in my lifetime! !
