Chapter 60 The house leaks and it rains all night
"Bang, boom..."

"what···"

"Hurry up, we have to enter Binzhou before dark."

To make matters worse, around 4 p.m., when they were about to arrive in Binzhou, the gray sky was suddenly filled with thunder and lightning. A strong wind blew, and more and more rocks rolled down the mountain. Many people were hit and screamed. Seeing this, Zhao Shan shouted loudly despite the strong wind. The sound mixed with his internal strength was clearly heard by everyone.

"Uncle..."

At the front of the team, the little cub was frightened by the thunder and huddled in Wei Chenghe's arms, trembling.

"Don't be afraid, we are all here."

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan took out a lollipop, tore off the wrapper and put it into his mouth, then turned around and asked, "How far is it to Binzhou?"

"It should be only about five miles away."

The person who answered him was not Wei Chengyi, but Zhao Shan who was walking a little ahead. He had escorted exiles along this road more than once and could estimate the approximate distance.

"Then let's work harder and run as much as possible, otherwise it will be even slower when the rain starts to fall."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zhao Shan did not object. He raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, Binzhou is not far ahead. Let's run."

"Yes."

The escorts were already tired and hungry, and just wanted to go to the post station to wash up and have a good meal. They responded to his call almost instantly.

"Wait, wait for us!"

"Hurry, catch up with them..."

"Damn it, don't run..."

"Woo woo woo..."

Before everyone had a chance to react, the escorts started running. After they came to their senses, they had to support each other and run even though it was difficult to walk. Not to mention the women and children, many men could not help but burst into tears. It was too difficult. If Binzhou was not so close, they would really have chosen to give up.

"Pa bang bang..."

The thunderstorm came quickly and suddenly. No matter how fast they ran, it was of no use. After a short while, everyone was soaked like drowned rats. But they couldn't stop. They had been holding on for all the way here. Once they stopped and lost their breath, they would not be able to walk, let alone run.

“Wow…it hurts…”

The dense raindrops hit the baby's body, and the baby held his head and cried loudly, looking so aggrieved.

"I'm talking to you, can't you use your hands to block it for him?"

Glancing at Wei Chenghe who was carrying him, Shen Xiangwan reached out and stroked his head: "Be good, An Ge'er. It's all your uncle's fault. Let's ask grandma and uncle to beat him later, okay?"

"Okay, hit, hit twice!"

With tears in his eyes, the little cub stretched out two fingers.

"Stinky boy..."

"you shut up."

Wei Chenghe refused to do it, but was slapped back by Zhao Yuping on the other side. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, hit him twice."

"Ah."

The little cub was satisfied. He wiped his tears with his little hands and started sucking on the lollipop again.

"The rain is too heavy, shield him from it."

"Ah."

With her demonstration, Wei Chenghe did not dare to rush on his way. He raised his hand and covered his head directly, causing the little cub to squirm impatiently again. The uncle and nephew reconciled for a long time before reaching a balance. Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi smiled at each other, but when they arrived in Binzhou, they found that things were beyond their imagination. The nearest Tianhe County had already collapsed, and only one in ten houses and buildings remained. The people were almost displaced and hid among the broken eaves and broken walls. Because the county government office also collapsed, it also killed many people and the government was almost paralyzed.

"Let's find a place to take a rest from the rain first."

Standing in front of the post station that had become a ruin, everyone was stunned. Shen Xiangwan reluctantly suggested that if they continued to get wet in the rain, they would all catch a cold.

"follow me."

Zhao Shan wiped the rain off his face, turned around and walked away.

"Walk."

Wei Chengyi and Shen Xiangwan supported Zhao Yuping and Wei Linger respectively and quickly followed. Seeing this, the others had to follow. They finally arrived in Binzhou, but they saw this situation. The light in many people's eyes was extinguished. They looked so depressed that they walked mechanically in the rain like old women.

In the rain at night, Zhao Shan led them through one ruin after another, and finally stopped in front of a stone courtyard. Although the outer wall had collapsed, the house seemed to be able to shelter from the wind and rain when viewed from the collapsed area. However, there was a crowd of people moving inside, and it was obvious that someone was gathering.

"Old Yang, Old Yang, are you there?"

At a time like this, it would be good to find a place that can shelter from the wind and rain. Zhao Shan didn't hesitate and landed in the yard with a tiptoe.

"Who is calling the soul?"

Not long after, a sturdy man who looked to be in his thirties or forties walked out.

"It's me, Zhao Shan."

Zhao Shan was obviously relieved. If he couldn't rest, not only would the exiles collapse, but he himself would have collapsed.

"It's Lao Zhao, why are you here at this time?"

Old Yang paused, then quickly called out, "Come in, come in."

"I'm still with someone."

As he spoke, Zhao Shan turned around and looked at the escorts and exiles behind him. His intention was self-evident.

"Let's talk after we come in first."

Old Yang was stunned again and couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Who the hell could have thought that they would encounter this earth dragon turning over that rarely happens in hundreds or thousands of years?

"Quick, go in first."

With his approval, Zhao Shan hurriedly urged.

Wei Chengyi and others who followed closely behind him entered the house in a hurry, followed by a group of escorts. The exiles who followed at the end seemed to have finally found a rain after a long drought, and they pushed and shoved their way in desperately, fearing that if they were a step slower they would have no place to stay.

"Another exile?"

Seeing someone coming in, several officers gathered in the main room frowned impatiently. Behind them was a group of exiles with tattoos on their faces, who were obviously trapped here by the earth dragon.

"Old Zhou, look who's here."

Old Yang led Zhao Shan into the main hall. The official named Old Zhou looked up and quickly stood up to greet him: "Old Zhao, why are you here at this time?"

"Don't say it, it's just bad luck."

Bumping fists with him, Zhao Shan sighed helplessly and looked behind him: "What have they done wrong? Where are they being sent?"

"Chenzhou."

Lao Zhou stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "This time the prisoners are a little special. They are wrongly accused. If I wasn't afraid that someone would kill them on the way, I wouldn't have made this trip. The world is unfair and treacherous officials are in power. The only thing we low-level officials can do is to send them to their destination safely."

Patting his shoulder with a heavy heart, Lao Zhou sighed deeply. Although he wanted to protect them a little, he would not be soft-hearted when escorting them, because that would only harm them. There were few good people in the exile camp, from prisoners to officials. If they didn't adapt now, they would probably die in the exile camp in the end.
