Chapter 35
The officials kept the fire burning and arranged the things at hand properly.

Many people came to them to change into dry clothes and thin quilts.

Some people came to exchange ointments, food, and pots and pans.

Some people even came to ask for the removal of the items.

It was raining heavily outside, and even if these people in the exile team were given a chance, they wouldn't be able to run far.

As long as the money is in place, the officials will agree.

After all the busy work was done, all the officials gathered together to chat.

"I'm exhausted. Fortunately, I found a cave like this to hide from the rain." Ma Youcai, a bearded official, kicked aside his soaked shoes.

"I don't know how long this rain will last." Wang Mingxian, who looks fierce but speaks with a gentle voice, said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter how long it rains, at worst the sky will collapse and become a quilt." Li Mingze, who was thin but muscular, took off his clothes and squeezed out the rainwater on the ground.

Wang Mingxian warmed his clothes by the fire: "Do you think this little girl Su Mo can really predict the weather through movies?"

"Old Wang, your question reminds us. How about we call her over and ask?"

Wang Mingxian: "I think it will work. Think about it, our stomach aches are caused by this little girl picking some wild vegetables. Then when we cook them, hey, it won't hurt anymore, right?"

Ma Youcai: "I also thought she knew something, otherwise it would be too coincidental and it would be all my fault. She told me it was going to rain at that time, but I didn't take it seriously. If I had known, I would have found a cave to take shelter from the rain. There are no more bad things."

Ding Yu, the leading officer, saw everyone looking at him and nodded: "Come and have a chat."

Ding Yu didn't blame Ma Youcai for not reporting to him that he knew it was going to rain. Not to mention that Ma Youcai thought it was impossible, but at most he just thought Su Mo was just sensationalizing and wouldn't take it seriously.

Ma Youcai, who had a beard and had a loud voice, waved directly to Su Mo and shouted: "Xiao Mo, come here."

"Come on."

As a result, Su Mo walked over to the officer under the watchful eyes of everyone.

During the short journey, she calmly accepted all kinds of looks of envy, jealousy, resentment, and contempt.

She could probably guess the reason why the official called her over, and everything went as she expected.

As soon as Su Mo sat down, Ma Youcai, a bearded official, gave her a dry handkerchief: "Wipe it quickly."

Ma Youcai had a loud voice originally, but now he didn't hide it at all. As expected, Su Mo received another wave of glares with various meanings.

Ding Yu, the leading officer, also nodded and said in a calm voice: "Come and warm yourself by the fire. Your clothes are soaked. Don't catch a cold."

He basically gave orders and seldom made a sound at other times. Now he was still concerned about an exiled prisoner, which made the escort officers wonder.

As a result, the officials also relaxed their minds and asked.

"Xiao Mo, can you tell me how you knew it was going to rain?"

"Yes, tell us so that we can prepare in advance in the future. Otherwise, we will find a cave to take shelter from the rain. If we don't find it, we will get caught in the rain and get sick, which will be in trouble."

"And that wild vegetable, we all have tea. Not to mention, after drinking it, I feel like my body is not dry/hot anymore."

"That's right, tell us what other wild vegetables we can use."

A few pairs of little ears stood up with curiosity. They suffered the loss of being uneducated. Otherwise, how could they do the backbreaking job of escorting exiled prisoners?

I have to take some comfort from the fact that the job is good.

Su Mo smiled softly: "Brother, uncles, you have asked so many questions, I don't know where to start."

Although most people were old enough to be her uncle, Ding Yu, the leading official, was only not much older than her, so it was more appropriate for her to call him eldest brother.

Ma Youcai slapped the thin monkey Li Mingze on the head: "If you ask, you will join in the fun."

Li Mingze didn't mind either. He gave Ma Youcai a kick: "Just ask, Xiaomo, tell me about the rain first."

Su Mo dried her hair and sat by the fire to warm herself up.

"Can I ask my mother to come over and help me bake the clothes? My husband was injured and his clothes are soaked now. I'm afraid that his wound will become inflamed." "Yo yo yo, these young couple are still in love, uncle understands."

Su Mo called Zhang Guilan over: "Mom, the officials said we can use the fire to dry our clothes."

Zhang Guilan thanked the officials and went to Yan Yi and his sister-in-law Wang Anan to get some wet clothes.

Seeing a few people's little ears flapping, Su Mo didn't show off and taught them skills.

"Actually, I'm not very good at reading the weather, but there are a few sentences I read in the book. Uncles can take note of them."

Everyone pricked their ears like curious babies.

"The morning glow does not go out, the evening glow travels thousands of miles."

"Wear a hat on the mountain when it rains, but halfway up the mountain when there is no rain."

"The ants move the snake aisle, and the heavy rain will come soon."

Ma Youcai clapped his hands and said excitedly: "You look so knowledgeable. Is there anything else? Is there anything else?"

He listened with great interest and actually understood everything.

"Swallows fly low, fish jump out of the water, and earthworms come out of the ground. It may rain."

Li Mingze, a lean man, asked: "Why is this happening?"

Ma Youcai slapped Li Mingze on the back of the head again: "As long as you know the result, ask if the reason is important."

Li Mingze still didn't mind, he just kicked Ma Youcai back with a smile.

"Just ask, just ask."

The two people who usually look quite serious also have such a cute side.

Su Mo patiently explained to curious baby Li Mingze: "It may rain when swallows fly low because when the weather changes, most insects will fly close to the ground. Swallows will fly low if they want to eat insects."

"What about the earthworms?"

"When the weather changes, the soil moisture will increase, the soil temperature will also increase, and earthworms will naturally burrow out of the ground."

……

Su Mo talked eloquently and answered almost every question asked by the officials.

This exchange also allowed Su Mo to gain further recognition from the officials.

It was hard for them to believe that such a fat body contained such a knowledgeable and interesting soul.

"I've learned a lesson." Ma Youcai cupped his fists at Su Mo.

Wang Mingxian, who looked fierce but spoke softly, was also immersed in Su Mo's explanation: "We will come across useful wild vegetables and herbs later, so you must tell us in detail."

"no problem."

The leading officer Ding Yu also emphasized to Su Mo: "If you find something inappropriate in the future, don't worry, you must tell me in time."

"it is good."

After chatting for a few more words, the atmosphere was harmonious and full of laughter.

Seeing that Zhang Guilan's clothes were almost baked, Su Mo stood up and said to the officials: "My husband still needs to be taken care of, so my mother and I will go over and take care of my husband first."

Her original intention was not only to get closer to the officials, but also to let the family dry their clothes.

Now that the goal has been achieved, naturally I won't stay any longer.

"Okay, okay, go quickly. I know that you two have a good relationship, and you have to carry him on your back along the way."
