Chapter 1,070 The Courtyard Wall Collapses

The matter was decided like this. Shu Yu only hoped that the rain would stop soon. If it continued to rain tomorrow, it would have to continue to be delayed.

Fortunately, in the evening, the rain gradually slowed down and stopped when it got dark.

However, in the middle of the night, there was another burst of rain hitting the window.

Shu Yu sighed, turned over and continued to sleep.

When he got up the next day, it was bright and the sun came out again. Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

When I opened the window, the street was slowly becoming lively.

After Ying Xi packed up, he said, "Miss, please rest for a while. I'll go down to buy breakfast and some dry food to eat on the way."

"Well, go ahead."

After Ying Xi went out, Shu Yu started washing and packing her bags.

Ying Xi came back very quickly, the two of them had breakfast together and were ready to check out and set off.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stood up, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, accompanied by the screams of people and the neighing of donkeys and horses, which shocked the two of them.

"It seems like... a sound coming from the backyard." Ying Xi raised his head and widened his eyes, "I'll go take a look."

"Let's go together." Her carriage was tied to the stable in the backyard.

The sound just now included the neighing of donkeys and horses. Could it be that something happened to the horses?

The two grabbed their bags and went out.

Their rooms were a bit far away, and it took them a while to reach the backyard.

At this time, a large group of people had gathered in the backyard, and they were all pointing in front of them.

Shu Yu got closer and heard what they were saying.

"...the backyard wall and the section on the right side of the stable collapsed."

"This courtyard hasn't been repaired for a long time. I reminded the shopkeeper a few days ago that the courtyard wall seems to be a little tilted, but the shopkeeper didn't take it seriously. It rained so heavily yesterday, no, the courtyard wall collapsed. I broke a lot of things, so I have to pay for them." The person who spoke was wearing clothes from the inn kitchen, and he should be helping in the kitchen.

"Other things are fine. Anyway, the valuable and fragile items were all taken back to the room by the guests. The most important thing is the animals. I just took a look and it seemed that I smashed a donkey, a mule, and two horses. Ma, it’s not easy to pay for this.”

Shu Yu frowned, looked at each other with Ying Xi, and quickly squeezed into the crowd and reached the front.

The scene was in a mess, and it looked quite miserable.

Several animals were being dragged out. The two horses were probably closest to the collapsed courtyard wall. One was seriously injured and the other was dead.

The donkey was small and probably huddled in a corner, so it was slightly injured but not life-threatening. At the moment, it was being held and comforted by its owner, but it was too frightened and was screaming with its neck raised.

The mule's leg was hit and it fell to the ground. The specific situation was unknown. Its owner was also anxious and was looking for a reliable veterinarian.

The remaining horses that were not in trouble were tied to the left position, and the grooms in the stable were comforting them and letting them calm down.

Among them was Shu Yu's white horse, and Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Xi whispered, "We came to the inn just after noon yesterday. There were not many guests at that time, and there were no horses in the stable, so Dabai was tied up in the shed on the far left, which was close to the collapsed courtyard wall. It’s still a bit far, so it should be fine.”

It's just that you may be frightened, and you don't know if the problem is serious or not.
