Looking at the unconscious white water in the muddy water, Qin Xitong involuntarily took a few steps back. The torrential rain whipped the whole land, and soon flooded the mouth and nose of the white water. Qin Xitong was a little at a loss, threw away the stone in his hand and ran back two steps, and stopped again.
She...... Is she dead?
I just knocked her lightly, how could she ...... Why did it fall?
His shoulders trembled violently, Qin Xitong looked at his hands and shook his head desperately.
No, it's not my fault, no, it's not!
What should I do? Do I stay to save her? But if someone else finds out that it was my own hand......
No, you can't let people know about all this, never!
There was an indescribable darkness in his eyes, Qin Xitong gritted his teeth, grabbed a broken branch and jumped onto the ridge, took one last look at the white water swallowed by the rain, and then ran away into the darkness.
The embankment failed to be saved after all, and when the furious flood broke through the embankment and rushed to the town with an unstoppable momentum, Bai Yan grabbed Mo Li with one hand, picked up Lin An with the other hand and retreated towards a high place, and the wind flow grabbed two people nearby and retreated together, until there were trees to support, and the two of them placed the four people in a safe place, and then turned around and jumped into the turbid rapids.
"Rescueβ"
Although many people were caught off guard by the pressure of the water at the moment of the flood catharsis, once the gap was opened and the water tended to ease, many people came out and swam towards the shore with each other. Bai Yan and Merry wandered among them, pulling and pulling everyone to safety, but the county guard Shi Kefu and Qin Gao had long since gone anywhere.
It rained all night, and so did the flood, and when the rain stopped in the morning, the people on both sides of the river finally lay down with exhaustion.
Fortunately, the flood channel leading to the town had just been cleared earlier, and although the water broke through the embankment, it was not enough to flood the town, but I am afraid that it would also cause a lot of losses, but it was already considered lucky compared to the disaster.
Li Zheng Wang Ding counted the number of people, and found that there were injuries but not deaths, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about reporting the situation to the county guard, only to find that the county guard and his subordinates were no longer here.
"Whoa!" he spat fiercely, got up and looked at the crowd and said: "Take advantage of the rain break, let's clean up the flood channel again, the town is afraid that it has been washed away, so leave some people to follow me to dredge the river, and the elderly and children at home should go back quickly, and the injured will also go back." β
Bai Yan called Lin An and asked him to take Mo Li back to the town, and told him to inform Wufang that the school would not be open today, and let him either take Mo Mo at home or go to Meige Xuan to stay. Lin An nodded in response, pulling Mo Li, who was extremely reluctant, to run in the direction of the town, while Bai Yan and Feng Liu were going to dredge the river with the same reason, and talked about it on the way, only to know that the reason why this embankment was so unbearable was entirely because the repaired silver taels were deducted layer by layer.
"The officials are corrupt, the good and the bad are uneven, and the court is beyond the reach of the whip, and the life of the people is not easy. Merry rarely sighed a few words, and when he saw Bai Yan looking at him, he looked into the distance with some self-deprecation.
Bai Yan knew that what he said was true, but he didn't want to mention it too much, so after being silent for a while, he shook his shoulder heavily.
There are some things that don't need to be said.
Actions speak louder than anything.
From early morning to afternoon, Bai Yan never stopped, moving, digging, picking, lifting, as long as he could do everything, his body and arms were full of traces of gravel scratches, not to mention the romance, that is, Wang Ding and others were deeply moved when they saw it.
A foreigner who has just arrived in the town can spare his life and help in such a time of crisis, which is much more admirable than those officials who run away when they are in distress. In the past, everyone only thought that he was sensitive and knew how to solicit business, but now it seems that he is a person who seems to be very arrogant, but in fact he is very warm.
The sky was drizzling again, the flood channel was smooth, and there were no waves, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, unloaded their burdens, and all of them collapsed to the ground.
Birds chirped in the forest, mixed with the sound of squirping footsteps, and everyone looked up and saw a column of hurried figures.
Flawless walked at the front of the team, holding a food box in his hand, followed by Mei Xiaoxi, followed by Lin An who was carrying the burden, Boss Li of Yongle Fang and a few subordinates he carried, those subordinates carried the burden, and they seemed to have a lot of weight.
Bai Yan leaned on the edge of a tree tiredly, covered in mud and could no longer see his original appearance, and when he heard everyone calling, he opened his eyes and looked ahead. Seeing the slender image in his bloodshot eyes, he moved his body and tried to stand up, but he couldn't use any strength.
Flawless paused in the distance, obviously looking at everyone covered in silt made him unable to distinguish Bai Yan's appearance, he quickly looked at it, and then ran towards the big tree.
"Be careful...... Dirty ......" Bai Yan's voice was already hoarse, looking at the figure rushing towards him, he subconsciously reminded him, flawless but completely ignoring the mud on the ground, after arriving at him, he squatted down directly and wiped his face with his sleeve.
"There is water everywhere in the town, and we went from house to house to help, and it has only been a day, and you must be starving. Flawless wiped his face while pushing the food box in his arms in front of him, the food box was drenched by the rain, wet and dripping with water droplets, but the inside of the box was very clean, the fragrant roast chicken was wrapped in layers of oiled paper, and even steamed.
Looking at Flawless's face that was slightly flushed from hurrying, and then at the fragrant roast chicken in the food box, Bai Yan couldn't help but show a smile.
"You've become a mud monkey too. He made fun of the mud that Flawless had dragged along the way, and helped him wipe his face before wiping the marks left by his face, and after looking down and sniffing the aroma of the roast chicken, Sarai said: "But the roast chicken refuses to jump into its mouth by itself, and now my whole body hurts, and even my bones are about to fall apart." β
Flawless blinked, looking at him with a scoundrel expression, and everyone else looked like they were waiting to watch the show, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed. If he had to follow the usual, he would definitely fight back these tricks fiercely, but today, looking at Bai Yan at this moment, an indescribable pity surged in his heart.
Bai Yan must be tired, otherwise he wouldn't hide behind the crowd silently, the muddy water on his face and the scars on his body and back are not pretending, this night and day is no different from fighting on the battlefield for him.
"You......" The sweetness was revealed in the complaint, and Flawless took out the roast chicken from the food box, broke it little by little with his hands that were also no longer clean, and pretended to be fierce and stuffed it into Bai Yan's mouth.
"I used this roast chicken for half an hour, and the ingredients are the best, and I have all my thoughts here when they prepare things......" The whisper was soft, but it made the scalp of the person who ate the food numb, and sure enough, the roast chicken that seemed to be tender and delicious finally revealed the fishy smell that it should not have revealed when it reached his mouth.
Looking at Mei Xiaoxi and the others next to him who couldn't help laughing until they were about to cramp, the corners of Bai Yan's mouth twitched, and the whole person rolled backwards and fell heavily into the mud.
