Traveling through a doctor's daughter to marry a virtuous man

Chapter 662 The Influx of Refugees 2
Yes, not everyone in the world is a wolf-hearted dog. Although the Bai family is a merchant's family, they also know how to repay their kindness, Lu Ziwan smiled.

"The weather is getting hotter now, and the business of this hotel is getting worse. If it doesn't rain, I think this guest like a cloud should close down." Master Bai suddenly sighed and asked, "Lu Girl, I wonder if this weather will affect the mint tea in your hand?"

"Not for the time being." Lu Ziwan shook her head and said, "According to the restaurant, it can't make ends meet, and closing down until the drought is over is indeed the best way to reduce losses. What about the teahouse in the Bai family's hands?"

"The weather is hot, and the business of the teahouse is better than before. Standing on Miss Lu's mint tea, the hotter the weather, the more everyone likes it. However, according to the shopkeeper's report, the well water in the backyard of the teahouse is also getting less and less. The spring on the mountain is about to dry up, and if there is no water, this teahouse will definitely not be able to open." Master Bai sighed, it was a hot and dry day, and the Bai family lost a lot. The family shop will not hurt the foundation of the Bai family, and the shops outside the Bai family also make a lot of money every day.

"The weather is so hot now that there are almost no people on the street. I think the puppet shop next door should close. Those old customers who want goods will go directly to Hexi Village to order." Zhanzhao Factory also cooperates with Luo's family , even if the shop is closed, the entire Lu family will not starve to death.

Lu Ziwan thought to herself, fortunately, this severe drought is only in some areas, not the whole country. It is really terrible for the people to live in dire straits. If she can, she will make more money. If it is too hot to live here, Lu Ziwan I will consider relocating to the south, and come back here after this severe drought.

While the few people were talking, there was a sudden commotion downstairs. Several people in the private room looked out of the window one after another, and saw a dozen disheveled ordinary people running to the other side of the street.

"It looks like refugees!" Lu Ziwan noticed that those sallow and thin people all had cracked lip skin, and they seemed to be refugees who had been hungry for a long time.

Master Bai opened the door and called the shopkeeper down there, and asked, "What's the matter with the people down there?"

"Master, they are all refugees from other places. I heard that it has not rained in other counties for a long time than ours. The river is completely dry without a drop of water. I heard that the river on our side has not yet rained." Do it, they all flooded into our county." The shopkeeper was a little frightened, although he only saw a dozen refugees, but the presence of these meant that more refugees would flood into the county and come to the south in the near future. Wangzhen, or more, if the weather continues to be dry, even this county will become a dry county, and they will go to other places like these refugees.

At this moment, Lu Ziwan only had one sentence in her mind, Nanwang Town, the peaceful days were officially broken with the appearance of these dozen or so refugees.

The river in Nanwang Town still has water. If these refugees spread the word, more refugees will flood in. Having water doesn’t mean they can live. Even if they can sleep on the street, they still need food. To maintain their lives, these refugees may rob or do worse things for food.

Natural disasters are always accompanied by man-made disasters. Lu Ziwan clearly remembers that in history, there have been countless cases where natural disasters came, causing hungry humans to kill their own kind and drink blood to quench their thirst and eat meat to satisfy their hunger.
