Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 149 The Road Is Flooded

"Have you explained everything about the shop?" Qi Mei asked.

Tao Qiqi: "Mother, don't worry, every shop has a steward, they are very experienced, they can do the same without me. And I have also greeted Brother Han, let If he has nothing to do, he will help me keep an eye on it. With him around, I have nothing to worry about."

What's more important is that all the stewards and some important employees in the shop have signed space contracts with Tao Qiqi, and they can do anything whether she is present or not.

Qi Mei: "Okay, I'll pack up in the next two days and prepare more thick clothes. Although the south is not as cold as the north, you still need to keep warm when traveling."

Tao Qiqi: "Well, prepare a few more quilts, and put them in the carriage for later use. Then prepare some food and so on."

Qi Mei: "The quilts have been prepared, I will arrange the meals tomorrow."

"Okay." Tao Qiqi nodded, and then explained some things that needed to be prepared.

After discussing it, we decided to set off in two days.

******
Two days later—

It is now mid-to-early November.

Tao Qiqi and the others rushed back to Jiangdu, both in the south, and according to Tao Qiqi's plan, they should arrive within 5-7 days.

She had experienced fleeing famine before, but now the journey only takes 5-7 days, Tao Qiqi didn't think it was a big deal.

And as long as there is no one doing bad things on the road, they only need to focus on the journey, and they may be able to arrive early.

But Tao Qiqi forgot one thing, that is, some places in the south have been flooded recently.

The flood has receded in some places, but some low-lying places are still under water.Roads were also flooded.

On the fourth day when Tao Qiqi and the others were on their way, they expected to get home in two days according to the schedule, but the road was blocked.

"The girl is gone." It was Shan Qing who was driving the carriage ahead.

Although she doesn't have to take away the one thousand guards that Nangong Ye left her, but Fu Lin, Shan Qing and the others belong to Tao Qiqi's guards, so she still has to take them with her, and by the way, she can also give them in Drive the carriage ahead.

In addition, Shan Qing and the others had already shown their faces in front of everyone, so Tao Qiqi didn't let them hide and follow alone.

Just set off together all the way, and then dress up as a caravan, which can also save some unnecessary troubles.

"No way? How could there be no way?" Tao Qiqi didn't react for a while, and asked with some doubts.

As soon as the words fell, she poked her head out to look forward.

It was only when she looked at the flooded road in front of her that she realized it.

"Fu Dong, go ahead and see what's going on. How far is the road flooded?"

"Okay." Fu Dong agreed, jumped off the carriage, and then slowly walked forward along the road in front of them.

Tao Qiqi and his party waited in place.

After waiting for a while, Fu Dong turned around and walked back.

After returning, Fu Dong said: "Girl, the road ahead is basically flooded, and it will be very dangerous to go forward if you can't see the road. There is a river not far away, and the water in the river is very fast. It flows so blankly. It used to be easy to stray into the rapids.”

"Is there a village nearby?" Tao Qiqi asked.

"I saw a village on the other side of the river, but most of the village was flooded. It was obvious that there was no one inside. I guess they hid in the mountains behind the village." Fu Dong replied.

"Qiqi, should we go back now and choose the nearest town or county to live in, or?" Fang Yu asked.

Tao Qiqi naturally understood what Fang Yu meant, and after thinking about it, she said, "Let's go up the mountain too."

It's getting late now after walking back and forth.

Secondly, if you can meet the folks in the village when you go up the mountain, if you need help, you can help.

It's not easy for the people at the bottom, not to mention the cold weather now.

Waiting for the upper level to make a move, it will come down layer by layer, and it is still uncertain when.

"Fu Lin, take the people up the mountain first to look for a suitable place to stay. We'll settle the carriage and luggage down below before going up the mountain."

"Yes." Fu Lin responded and led a few people up the mountain.

Tao Qiqi and the others turned around to find a suitable place for the horse to hide.

"Girl, there's a cave there." Suddenly Shan Qing's voice sounded again.

Tao Qiqi poked her head out to look in the direction of Shan Qingzhi, and saw a cave at the foot of the mountain, relatively high. Tao Qiqi had good eyesight, and it was obvious that there were people walking around the entrance of the cave.

"Go and have a look."

Then the carriage team headed towards the cave at the foot of the mountain.

However, the cave was still a little far from the road, so Tao Qiqi and the others had to temporarily park the carriage on the roadside and then walk to the cave.

The walk from the road to the cave was full of fields. Tao Qiqi held Qi Mei and Jiang Su one after another, and then warned: "Mom, Aunt Jiang, be careful."

Fang Yu followed Jiang Su, and Jiang Su held her hand. It was obvious that Jiang Su herself was very nervous, but she still didn't forget to tell Fang Yu: "Xiaoyu, be careful too. Don't fall."

"We used to walk this way in the village, and we couldn't fall down. Mother, you have to be careful." Fang Yu replied with a smile.

The field ridge they were walking on was about a meter high from the paddy fields below. If they fell, they would not only turn into clay figurines, but if they could not fall, they would also be sprained if they were not careful.

Fortunately, Jiang Su has Tao Qiqi in front and Fang Yu in the back. The two of them are holding her firmly, and now that she is a person with martial arts, it is not a problem to walk this way.

Several people finally walked across the field to the foot of the mountain. As a result, there was a creek about one meter wide at the foot of the mountain.

This creek is usually used to divert water to irrigate crops in the fields.

A wooden bridge temporarily built by the villagers was built over the creek.

With the trunks of four big trees tied together, it is just enough for a person to walk across the wooden bridge.

However, due to the recent floods, the water in the creek is very deep, and even the current is very fast.It’s not a joke to fall, it’s okay to be rescued, but if you can’t save it, you will follow the creek and finally rush into the river.

To get to the cave at the foot of the mountain, they had to walk across a small wooden bridge temporarily built by the villagers.

This is no better than going to Tiankan.

It was the first time he encountered such a rapid stream, Jiang Su was somewhat nervous, for fear that he would be washed away by the water if he fell.

Qi Mei was the first to pass, and Tao Qiqi was the second. When it was Jiang Su's turn, her legs kept shaking.

"It's okay. The bridge is stable. As long as you don't look under the bridge, there is nothing to be afraid of. You will be here in two steps." Qi Mei hurriedly comforted her.

At this time, Tao Qiqi whispered: "Aunt Jiang, if you are scared, just fly here. Don't forget that your skills are extraordinary now. You can fly over this distance easily."

Fortunately, with Tao Qiqi's reminder, Jiang Su finally came to his senses.

During this period of time, he has experienced many killers and even challenged the snake's nest. It seems that he is not afraid of anything. After a period of time, the good days will return to the past.

A brook scared me too much to cross.

After reacting, Jiang Su gently used her internal energy and raised her feet to cross over to the other side of the stream.
