CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 115: DONG FAMILY VILLAGE

The carriage was somewhat large, and the gate of Shen Tang’s courtyard was a bit small, so it couldn’t get in.

Shen Qinglan could only hold an umbrella and see the Shen Family elders onto the carriage first, then went back to carry the still-sleeping Shen Qing’an onto the carriage.

Shen Tang was also responsible for carrying other people’s belongings.

When they arrived at their own house, Shen Qinglan had the carriage brought inside.

She asked Shen Tang for the key given to him by Shen Shan, opened the room where the rice bins were stored, and loaded the remaining bags of grain onto the carriage.

When the carriage arrived at Shen He’s home, the lights were already out, and the courtyard was pitch black, indicating that they were probably asleep.

Shen Qinglan left Shen Qingping and the Shen Family elders in the carriage, while she and Shen Tang got off to call out to them.

Shen Tang called out, "Big brother, are you asleep?"

With just one shout, before long, the room where Shen Shan and Mrs. Jiang were lit up.

"Who is it?"

Shen He frowned as he opened the door, and upon seeing Shen Tang and Shen Qinglan outside, his heart jumped.

"Qinglan, why are you here?" he said, a little uneasy, "Has something happened to your family?"

"Who? Who had something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang quickly tidied her clothes and came over.

"Nobody had anything happen!" Shen Tang said, "Second brother asked Qinglan to come and get us, saying he’s worried something might happen."

"Get us?" Shen He was stunned, "Has something happened?"

"We’ll explain that later." Shen Qinglan said, "Uncle, Aunt, please wake up my eldest cousin and the others, pack up, the carriage is already waiting outside, the driver will take you to where my parents are."

Shen He didn’t understand what was happening, but seeing the serious expression on Shen Qinglan’s face, he vaguely felt it was best to listen to her.

Shen Qinglan said, "I need to go to the Dong Family Village, Uncle. Once you pack up, go with Third Uncle and the elders to town."

"How can that be?" Mrs. Jiang frowned, "You’re just a girl, running that far alone, what if it’s dangerous? I’ll call your eldest cousin to go with you."

"There’s no need." Shen Qinglan refused, "I can go by myself, didn’t Aunt forget? I know martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang recalled Shen He mentioning how Shen Qinglan had beaten up Zhou Si’s group, and she relaxed slightly.

She nodded, "Very well, be careful on the road!"

Shen Qinglan thought for a moment and said to Shen He, "If possible, Uncle, you could tell the village chief, have him inform everyone to temporarily leave Lishui Village and return when the weather clears up."

Even the village chief needs to be notified, this must not be a small matter!

Shen He looked slightly tense and nodded, "Okay!"

After bidding farewell to the Shen Family, Shen Qinglan gave instructions to the two drivers and then walked over to the carriage where Le Zhao was.

As she approached, Le Zhao naturally stepped out and sat with the driver.

"Where to next?" Le Zhao asked.

Shen Qinglan said, "Head north to Dong Family Village."

The driver didn’t know where Dong Family Village was, but hearing Shen Qinglan say to head north, he went directly north according to her instructions.

An hour later, at the entrance of Dong Family Village.

Shen Qinglan followed the slightly vague memories of the original owner and headed towards Dong Zhong’s house.

In her memory, Dong Zhong’s house was right at the village entrance, not far from the entrance.

Dong Family Village was located downstream of the Yingyang River, where the water accumulation was much worse than in Lishui Village, already reaching calf level.

Shen Qinglan couldn’t bother with anything else and kept walking through the water.

The two households she passed by had their lights on, and she faintly heard people talking, sounding like they were packing things.

Shen Qinglan continued walking inside and discovered that, like the previous two households, these few houses also had their lights on.

It seemed that Xuan Ying and the people from the Government had already been here.
