After the commotion, the carriage finally steadied.
Once Liu Mianmian sat up straight, Liu Xinghe urgently asked, "What happened?"
"The road ahead has been half-dug out, I'm afraid the carriage can't pass!" Wang Si's voice was filled with apology, "I'm really sorry. When I passed this way two months ago, the carriage could get through!"
"Maybe the villagers around here dug out part of the road foundation to expand their land a bit!"
Rural folks tried every means to get an extra acre of land, expanding on their own was also a common thing.
This road leads to Daniu Mountain, usually with few people traveling on it, so if it's dug, it's just dug, no one says much.
The heavy rain continued, and as Liu Xinghe lifted the curtain, a gust of cold wind mixed with bitter rain swept in, drenching everyone inside the carriage.
Doctor Zhang, his eyes blurry, got up only to have a face full of water splashed at him.
It's beyond tragic.
