Chapter 499 Blocked on the way

It rained heavily at night. When I woke up on the second day of Pingyang, Yuzhu came in and replied: "Madam, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today. The heavy rain last night washed away the bridge on the river."

The river is so fast that it cannot support boats, so pedestrians can only cross on the bridge.

Hearing this, Pingyang frowned and said worriedly: "If we can't cross the river, how can we return to Beijing? Oh, what can we do?"

Yuzhu advised: "Madam, don't be anxious. My cousin has already brought people to investigate. With my cousin here, he will have his own way of doing everything."

Knowing that she was blocked on the way, Pingyang was not in the mood to have breakfast. After Yuzhu helped her wash up and get dressed, she hurriedly left the house to find out more about the situation.

At this moment, the sky has cleared up and the autumn sun is high in the sky. However, it rained heavily last night and there is still rainwater that has not receded on the road.

Pingyang stood in the corridor of the post house. She saw Pei Yunqian returning from outside with two young men. Pingyang held up her undergarment and stepped on the green bricks paved on the road to greet her and asked: "I heard that the bridge on the river was washed away.

Ruined, huh?"

Pei Yunqian replied: "It's okay. The office has ordered the craftsmen to rush to repair it. It will be completed in two or three days."

Hearing this, Pingyang felt a little relieved and replied: "If we take a detour, the road is now muddy and difficult to navigate. I'm afraid it will be delayed for a day or two. Let's just wait here for a few days until the bridge deck is repaired."

Let’s do it.”

Pei Yunqian nodded and said, "That's what I planned too."

This posthouse is not far from the river. Pingyang looked at the sparkling river and suggested: "Everything is fine, I want to go to the river for a visit."

This river is called Qushui, and it is the largest river in Yizhou.

Pei Yunqian nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you there."

Hearing this, Yuzhu smiled and said: "When I came here, I was eager to run home, so I passed by Qushui and didn't bother to appreciate it. Although I delayed my trip today, I was able to take a good look at the water in my hometown."

The master and servant returned to the room and put on their water shoes, then followed Pei Yunqian out of the post house and headed towards Qushui.

Although the water surface here is only a few dozen feet wide, the water is the most turbulent. Because it cannot support boats, a bridge was built across the river.

Pei Yunqian led Pingyang and Yuzhu to stand on the bleachers beside the bridge. Standing here, they could overlook the entire water surface.

It had just rained heavily last night, and the river was booming. The rolling water roared and flowed, making a loud rushing sound. There were people standing in twos and threes on both sides of the river bank. Most of them were travelers who were delayed due to the destruction of the bridge deck like them.

who.

On the bridge not far away, dozens of craftsmen were wielding tools in a hurry to repair the bridge. The sound of the shovels hitting the stones was mixed with the roar of the river, hitting the hearts of those who were on their way.

Pei Yunqian looked into the distance and murmured: "This river is the soul of Yizhou. Seeing this river can make people feel at ease."

Pingyang, who was standing next to Pei Yunqian, joked when he heard this: "My cousin was born in Chang'an. You are just a passerby from Yizhou. After all, I am a native of Yizhou."

When Pei Yunqian heard this, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Pingyang aside. He said with a smile: "Although I was born in Chang'an, I grew up in Yizhou. After all, it was the customs here that raised me."

The two of them were looking at things and chatting here. Yuzhu pointed to the other side of the river and said in surprise: "Madam, look quickly, is that my uncle on the other side of the river?"

Hearing this, Pingyang looked over and saw Li Xiang standing on the stand across the river, waving vigorously towards this side. Although he couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, Pingyang could recognize him at a glance.

"Why is my husband here?"

Pingyang was surprised and stared at Li Xiang, who was waving towards him on the other side of the river.

At first Yuzhu was not sure, but now she saw Pingyang confirming it. She squinted and looked at the other side of the river carefully, muttering in her mouth: "My uncle is most likely here to pick you up. Unfortunately, the river was destroyed. He

We are separated from each other by the other side."

Pingyang nodded, she glanced at her husband on the other side of the river who kept waving to her, she gradually frowned, looked sideways at Pei Yunqian and said: "My husband must be anxious, but the bridge deck is destroyed, he can't cross."

Come on, I can’t get through it, so what should I do?”

Although Pingyang no longer loves Li Xiang as much as before, she is a kind-hearted person after all. Now that she sees her husband traveling thousands of miles to pursue her, but they can only look at each other from afar, Pingyang can't help but feel anxious.

Because of the anxiety, the little face that was so excited just now fell down, like a sad little rabbit.

Pei Yunqian glanced at Li Xiang on the other side of the river, then lowered his eyes and comforted Pingyang: "This bridge can be repaired in only two or three days. Don't worry, just let him wait there for a few days."

Pingyang Liu's eyebrows were still furrowed, and she nodded slightly towards Pei Yunqian, and replied calmly: "That's all."

"Let's go, it's windy in the stands, so be careful if you catch a cold if you stand for a long time." With that said, Pei Yunqian led Pingyang and Yuzhu down the steps.

Li Xiang learned that Pingyang had followed Pei Yunqian back to Yizhou. He had been chasing him all the way. He had to stay in the posthouse because of heavy rain last night. He could have arrived in Yizhou today, but he never thought that a heavy rain would destroy him.

After reaching the bridge section, he came to the river early in the morning to check, but he never expected to see his wife standing on the other side of the river.

He and his wife met but could not get together. Li Xiang was already anxious. Seeing her and Pei Yunqian talking intimately there, Li Xiang became even more anxious and angry. He stood in the stands and kept waving to Pingyang on the other side. It was difficult for him to do so.

He hoped that his wife would notice him, but unexpectedly she would leave with that man.

Li Xiang's heart felt as if it had been cut out and thrown on the fire to roast.

He was so anxious that he jumped off the stand without caring, shouting at the top of his lungs towards Pingyang who was about to leave, but the river was roaring, so how could her shouts reach the ears of his wife on the other side of the river? Li Xiang was so anxious on the bank

Wandering around, she waved desperately towards Pingyang, calling her one after another.

Seeing that Pingyang was about to leave with Pei Yunqian, Li Xiang was so anxious that he jumped into the river with a "plop".

When the accompanying boys saw this, they were all dumbfounded with fright. When they came to their senses, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Master! My God, why did you jump into the river! Oops! Come on!

Man! Come and save my young master!"

When people on the shore heard the sound, they thought someone had accidentally fallen into the water, so they all ran and gathered together. However, the river was so fast that no one dared to jump in to save people. Everyone threw ropes into the river noisily and shouted to let the person who fell into the water go.

Caught ashore.

The current on the shore was not too strong, and Li Xiang's water skills were not bad. Although he jumped down and lost his head, his head emerged in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiang heard the calls of people on the shore, but he did not grab the ropes thrown towards him, but swam hard towards the other side of the river.
