Mu Shuangshuang looked at the sky and felt that waiting outside was not an option.
She simply suggested, "Fengzi, let's find an inn nearby first.
Beichen probably won't be back for a while."
Lu Yuanfeng nodded.
The two chose a nearby inn on the roadside.
As soon as I entered the inn, I was greeted by the waiter.
"Two guests, I would rather stay in a hotel."
Mu Shuangshuang glanced at the waiters.
Compared with the refugees outside, they seemed not to be affected.
"Stay in the hotel" Lu Yuanfeng said.
"Then I will arrange it for you.
We have three specifications of rooms here, and the prices range from low to high."
The waiter said.
"Two rooms, one for the upper room and one for the upper room."
Lu Yuanfeng was interrupted by Mu Shuangshuang before he finished speaking.
"Two ordinary rooms are enough," Mu Shuangshuang said.
When Xing Beichen comes back later, he can sleep in a room with Lu Yuanfeng, and she can sleep in a room by herself.
When you go out, you just need a place to live, and you don’t necessarily have to live in a particularly nice room.
"Then come with me.
I'll take you upstairs to see the room first."
Following the waiter, Mu Shuangshuang looked around.
There were only a few lighted rooms in the inn, and I didn't meet many people along the way.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Er, didn't something big just happen in Yulin County?
Why don't I see many people staying in the hotel?"
"My lord, you don't know something.
It happened five or six days ago, and all the rich people went to neighboring counties.
The people living in the city now are all without money, and there are still people who want to make some money now. " The city gate is a place with relatively little damage, after all, the houses are not as densely packed as in the city.
In the current situation, anyone with a little bit of money in their family knows that if they don't want to starve to death, they have to go somewhere else.
After all, it is harvest season, and no matter how expensive food is, it is not much more expensive.
"What about those people outside?
They live outside at night," Mu Shuangshuang asked.
The weather is indeed not cold, but there are many mosquitoes, rats, and ants outside, so it is easy to contract the epidemic.
"Hey, sir, you didn't go to the city to see it, that's why it's so unpopular.
It's good for people like them to live in places like the city gate.
You’ve seen those medicine shops at the gate of the city.
The prices are extremely high.
In the medicine shops inside the city, medicinal materials are even more expensive.”
When he mentioned this, the waiter shook his head repeatedly.
"Hey, this good place suddenly cracked.
What a sin."
After arranging the room, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng paid the deposit and told the waiter that a man would come to them later.
I also told the waiter about my appearance and attire, so I was afraid that I would be late and miss Xing Beichen.
It was already getting late, and it was impossible to actually go to the city to see the situation.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng could only take a short rest and go to see the situation in the city tomorrow morning.
At this moment, Xing Beichen entered the governor's mansion of Yulin County.

As soon as his documents came out, he entered the governor's mansion without any hindrance.
The county governor, Sima Chong, was a newly appointed official in his thirties.
Instead of achieving political achievements, he got into big trouble.
Now I am busy thinking about solutions.
As soon as he heard the news of Xing Beichen's arrival, Sima Chong felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Xing Beichen didn't have much status, but back then, Xing Ningtian's status was extremely prominent.
When Xing Ningtian issued a conscription order here, he took away many young people from Yulin County.
Who would have known that a few years later, these people would become the famous Xing Family Army, and they would make great contributions to the Daning Dynasty on the battlefield.
But later, Xing Ningtian died in the battle, and the Xing family army also disbanded and returned to Yulin County.
However, at that time, Yulin County was not called Yulin County, but Yulin County.
In the Daning Dynasty, there were counties above the counties, and there were mansions above the counties, and above the mansions, there was the capital.
Xing Beichen followed the officer from the county governor's mansion and walked all the way until he entered a secluded courtyard before meeting the county governor.
Sima Feng greeted him politely and gave a big salute to Xing Beichen: "Master Xing, you are all here, and I hope you will forgive me for being a little distant."
Xing Beichen shook his head and asked: "How is the situation now?"
The sweat on Sima Chong's face instantly broke out: "Master Xing, you should have seen it when you just came from outside, right?
I am now waiting for foreign aid from the court.
Once the foreign aid arrives, I will immediately help these people rebuild their houses. " Xing Beichen's face immediately turned dark when he heard this.
"How can you wait for the foreign aid from the imperial court?
Those people outside are barely clothed and have no food to eat.
How can you make them wait?"
Sima Chong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Sir, this matter is due to my lack of consideration, my subordinate."
"Hmph, not only are you not thinking carefully, you clearly don't want your own head for the casualties in the city.
Have you ever counted how many collapsed houses, how many women and children there are?
What have you done in the whole five days, why don’t you tell me what you have done?”
"My lord, three hundred or three hundred houses collapsed, fifteen casualties, women, children and children.
We haven't counted them yet.
We will have them counted tomorrow."
This time, the earthquake in Yulin County was not serious.
Otherwise, a small Yulin cannot resist it at all.
Just because there is too little knowledge about earthquakes in this era, this has also led some people to spread the news that they are particularly scary.
Sima Chong was still able to answer a few questions, and the hostility in Xing Beichen instantly disappeared a lot.
"Gather some people together tomorrow to clean up everything that needs to be cleaned up.
Contact the local businessmen to get through this difficulty first."
Sima Chong shook his head and said, "Sir, you don't know that the local businessmen ran away as soon as the incident happened.
Most of the businessmen coming in now are from other places, and they all want to take advantage of this moment to make a fortune.
In addition, the rescue from the imperial court has not yet arrived, so many things are not easy to handle."
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now.
I still have two friends who are coming with me.
I'll go find them tonight.
Let's discuss the countermeasures tomorrow."
After Xing Beichen finished speaking, he left the governor's mansion regardless of Sima Chong's plea to stay.
Fortunately, the streets have been cleared, so there won't be no room for footing.
Xing Beichen now has many questions and wants to ask Mu Shuangshuang.
Because he always feels that Shuangshuang should understand this matter Soon, Xing Beichen arrived at the place where he had parted ways with Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

There was no one in sight, so Xing Beichen guessed that the two of them might have found an inn.
After observing the surroundings, he chose the nearest inn.
As soon as I asked the waiter, the waiter nodded excitedly.
"This guest, your two friends, have told you to go upstairs to find them."
Following the waiter, Xing Beichen went upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
There was prepared food on the table, neither of them moved their chopsticks, as if they were waiting for him:
