Watch Out! Danger Ahead
Chapter 2300 - Chapter 2300 Decision (1)

Chapter 2300: Decision (1) Chapter 2300: Decision (1) The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pitter-patter of the rain penetrated through the straw and flooded the house.

Recently, the heavenly fiend guards of the Imperial court and the National Guardian temple had been making more and more movements. Many of the county’s famous midwives were being monitored by the heavenly fiend Bureau.

In order to hide from the public, Zhang xiaoning lived in seclusion and did not dare to find someone to help deliver the baby.

Now that he had acted up, song qingxiao was the only one left.

There was an oil lamp in the room, but the light was very weak.

The strong wind beat against the wooden door, making a heavy ‘clang’ sound.

Raindrops dripped down from the dilapidated thatched house, quickly forming puddles on the surface and becoming damp.

Recently, the large courtyard had not been very peaceful. When miss Zhang moved, she had brought some stored food with her. In addition, with aunt yang, a big mouth, spreading the news everywhere, everyone nearby knew that a young and beautiful pregnant woman lived here.

As the Imperial court rewarded the search for the child, people gradually turned their attention to this place. It was only a matter of time before they were reported.

Zhang xiaoning had not come out of the door recently. At this time, she did not dare to cry out in pain after the attack. She could only bite her lips and endure it.

Song qingxiao had experienced a lot of things, including demons and ghosts, but this was her first time helping a baby, so she was inexperienced.

BOOM! BOOM!

The strong wind blew away a piece of straw cover on the roof, and the strong wind mixed with the rapid rain fell down, extinguishing the oil lamp in the room!

Miss Zhang gritted her teeth, sweating all over. She couldn’t help but tremble in pain.

The moment the lights in the room were turned off, someone strode into the room through the water.

“Qing … Qing Xiao …”

When Zhang xiaoning, who had already lost her temper, heard the noise at the door, her whole body trembled, and she whispered softly.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Song qingjiang held her hand and wiped her hair with a handkerchief.

“My father is back.”

At this time, song Qing did not dare to be careless. She kept using her divine sense to scan the surroundings.

She had sensed it the moment father song returned.

When miss Zhang heard this, she loosened her clenched fists. Before she could speak, the door was knocked open with a bang.

The sound of the door bolt breaking could be heard.

The wind rushed in with the rain and fog. It was so cold that miss Zhang shivered in the room, and her stomach began to hurt again.

Father song was completely drenched, and water was flowing down his clothes.

His face was pale, as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body was shaking.

After entering the room, he didn’t have time to look at miss Zhang who was lying on the bed, but directly ordered, ”

“Hurry up and pack up your valuable things. We have to leave quickly!”

Father song’s words stunned song Qing. Zhang wangye, who was lying on the bed, suddenly endured the pain in her abdomen and sat up.

“Have the heavenly fiend guards arrived?”

She hadn’t left her house recently, but she had heard the news.

The monks of the National temple set up altars in the county to perform rituals, while the heavenly fiend guards went around the county to capture pregnant women.

Many women who were about to give birth were taken away, causing the entire County to be in a state of panic. They were guessing if there were any demons.

“No, I didn’t,”

Father song seemed to have just realized that there was an extra person in the room. He paused.

“But I can’t care about that now.”

He took out a sewn cloth bag and threw some food into it.

“The riverbank has been broken!”

His tone was urgent as he told the two women what he had learned.

“With this heavy rain, the river will flood. I’m afraid the county will be flooded soon.”

This small County was located in the lower reaches of the river. Every year when the water rose, some houses along the river would be flooded.

Hundreds of years ago, when the Imperial court was first established, it had paid a great price to strengthen the riverbanks and build sub-canals to guide the flow of the river. Then, with the suppression of the dynasty’s fate, the weather was smooth, and the disasters were barely contained within an acceptable range.

However, as the dynasty’s luck gradually declined, disasters occurred frequently in recent years.

The Imperial court was corrupt, and the Emperor himself was obsessed with cultivation. He ignored the People’s Affairs and plundered the People’s wealth for his own use. This caused the National Treasury to be empty, and the waterproof dam had not been repaired for many years.

Hundreds of years had passed, and the old riverbanks were no longer of much use and could not hold water.

a few months ago, various County magistrates reported to us, requesting money to build dams.

It was just that the Imperial court collected a lot of exorbitant taxes every year, all of which fell into the hands of the imperial family.

The royal family had spent a lot on raising cultivators. Most of them were turned into immortal pills and elixirs for the royal family to consume.

If that was the case, where would they find the money to allocate?
