Ye Zhen didn't need a divination to know that there would be a disaster in Huaijiang this year, but it hasn't happened yet. Qi Jin had already gone to Huaijiang in advance. She didn't know if Qi Jin also went in advance in her previous life, but it was useless. In the rainy season two months later, Huaijiang would still have a plague. That's all she knew. As for why the plague would happen and what would happen in Huaijiang, she really didn't know anything. Even if she wanted to do something in advance, she didn't know where to start. ()
"I did a divination last night." Ye Zhen whispered, "It's a natural disaster."
Huang Fuchen was slightly startled. She could tell that it was a natural disaster? He also did a divination yesterday, but there was no such divination. Although it was a bad divination, it was somewhat vague and unchangeable. From the divination, Huaijiang was full of variables.
"Natural Calamity Technique?" Huangfu Chen asked again.
Ye Zhen nodded gently, "Master, maybe my divination was wrong."
Huang Fuchen shook his head and whispered, "Didn't you also get a bad divination last time? Although we can't change this kind of divination, we have to find a way to reduce casualties. Let's go to Huaijiang as soon as possible. "
"Yes, master." Ye Zhen said that there were still two months left, and Qi Jin had already rushed to Huaijiang. "Master, why don't we send a letter to Doctor Qi first so that she can be prepared? ()”
"You go write the letter, I will arrange for someone to send it to my aunt." Huang Fuchen said.
Ye Zhen smiled and agreed. She didn't dare to expect to change the natural disaster in Huaijiang based on the impression of her previous life, but if there was a little help, she would fight for it.
She returned to the carriage to write the letter, but she said that Huang Fuchen divined good or bad luck and pointed out the possible disaster to Huaijiang to Qi Jin. She couldn't say much because that was all she knew. It would be better if Doctor Qi could ask the magistrate of Huaiyang to help her.
Their carriage had been on the mountain road for a day and finally came to a village before sunset.
Huang Fuchen said, "This village is not big. I'm afraid it's not easy to find a decent inn. Let's find a place to stay for the night."
Now that it was late, there were no pedestrians on the road. Only an oil lamp was lit in a shabby inn next to the village entrance. Ye Zhen and Huang Fuchen looked at each other. There seemed to be no other choice but to spend the night here.
They parked the carriage outside the inn, and the coachman went to find fodder for the horses. Huangfu Chen and Ye Zhen entered the inn together.
There was only a shopkeeper in the inn, and there wasn't even a waiter. The shopkeeper was dozing off behind the table and didn't notice that a guest had entered the door. He didn't wake up until Huangfu Chen coughed. ()
"Sir, are you here for a snack?" The shopkeeper stood up hurriedly and rubbed his eyes as he looked at Huangfu Chen.
"We want to stay. Do you have any rooms available?" Huang Fuchen asked calmly. He looked up and sized up the inn. Although it looked small, it was still clean.
The shopkeeper seemed a little surprised. "You want to stay?"
"Are there no more rooms?" Huangfu Chen asked.
"Oh, yes! Yes! " The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and said with a smile, "Sir, do you want to stay in the Heaven or Earth rooms?"
Ye Zhen was amused. Such a small inn was actually divided into heavenly and earthly classes.
Huangfu Chen smiled faintly. "Two Heaven rooms."
"Sir, please come this way." The shopkeeper carried the oil lamp and led them upstairs.
Ye Zhen followed behind Huangfu Chen. She looked at the inn suspiciously. It was strange. Although the inn was dilapidated, she could see that it was very exquisite from the decoration to the layout. If there was such an inn in this village, it should be very prosperous.
"We rarely have guests here. Sir, you must be hungry from the journey. I will ask my wife to make you something to eat." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Huangfu Chen said.
There were only two rooms in the Heaven room, and it could be seen that they were originally in the same wing. It was later divided into two rooms, but it was still clean. The newly brought bedding didn't smell damp.
After the shopkeeper retreated, Ye Zhen went to find Huangfu Chen.
"Master, don't you think this inn is very strange?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, "Look at these furniture. Which one is not a fine piece? Isn't this a small village? How can there be such an inn? "
Huangfu Chen said, "I also noticed it. I will go out and have a look later. You go back to the room and rest."
Since her master said so, Ye Zhen had to go back to the room first. After a while, the shopkeeper brought dinner to them. It was just some coarse grains, but it seemed to be cooked very carefully.
Ye Zhen tested it with a silver needle. After confirming that there was no problem, she let Dai Mei eat with her.
After a day's journey, she was a little tired, but she was worried that there was something wrong with the inn. She didn't dare to sleep until Huangfu Chen told her that everything was fine. She finally fell asleep.
The next day, Ye Zhen got up early. There was smoke rising slowly from the village, but the whole village seemed very quiet and sparsely populated.
"Shopkeeper, what village is this?" Ye Zhen sat by the window, holding the meat buns that the shopkeeper had just served and asked curiously.
"This is the Gu Family Village," the shopkeeper said in a low voice. "Sir, where are you going?"
Ye Zhen did not answer him, but continued to ask, "Do the people in your village work in the fields so early?"
The shopkeeper laughed a few times and said, "Yes, they all go to work."
"Master, have some tea." Ye Zhen poured a cup of tea she had brewed herself and gave it to Huang Fuchen.
Huang Fuchen put down the steamed bun in his hand and took a sip of Ye Zhen's tea. He nodded with a smile, "Well, good tea."
Of course, it was good tea. She brewed it with spirit spring water. Originally, she didn't want her master to drink the spirit spring water, but the shopkeeper of the inn made her feel more and more strange. Yesterday's food was fine, but the steamed bun sent this morning made her afraid to bite it.
When the shopkeeper saw them drink the tea, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and winked at the woman hiding beside him.
"Master, let's go." Ye Zhen felt that the whole village was a little strange and urged Huang Fuchen to leave quickly.
Huang Fuchen was about to get up, but he found that Dai Mei and the coachman Quan Fu were already lying on the table.
"Dai Mei, Quan Fu?" Ye Zhen was shocked. She had just asked them to drink tea. Did they not drink it?
"Yao Yao!" Huang Fuchen whispered to her, "Go out and see if the carriage is still there."
Ye Zhen stood up and ran out. Sure enough, she did not see their carriage.
She was about to tell Huang Fuchen when she found several big men in the inn, holding a knife to Huang Fuchen's neck.
