242. After the disaster
If it weren't for Miao's schadenfreude being too obvious, Lin wouldn't have been so sarcastic about her, looking at the sky, Lin asked Yao Keqing to rest, and personally called someone to tell the rest of the things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I asked, I realized that the mountain behind me had really collapsed, and the mud and stone slurry had flowed into the pond in the garden, and if there was no pond, I was afraid that it would have flowed to the courtyard of the people living in front. I can't help but be very glad that I listened to Yao Keqing's words and didn't go to the back mountain, otherwise they would all die without a place to be buried. If you fall into the flood, as long as you catch driftwood, there is still a chance of survival, but if you get caught in the mud, there is only one dead end.
The Lin family took over the arrangement, and Yao Keqing nested in the corner to rest for a while, but he couldn't sleep when it was dawn, and Yao Keqing woke up after squinting for a while. At this time, everyone was still in the stargazing building, and the Lin family sent several groups of male servants out to investigate the situation.
The people who went out came back one after another.
"The houses are all fine, some of the eaves have collapsed in half..."
"The wall is good, but the position near the back hill has collapsed..."
"There was water in the yard, the deepest was a man deep, and the shallowest was knee-deep..."
……
After listening to everyone's report, Lin looked at the day when it was still raining, and he didn't dare to let people go back to the yard, not because he was afraid that the flood would come again, after all, there was so much water in the embankment in Zhangzhou, and most of the embankment had collapsed last night, and it would not be bigger than last night, but he was afraid that the mountain in the back mountain would continue to collapse. In the end, I found that the person who went to the royal palace to inquire had not returned, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.
Fortunately, the Lin family didn't worry for long, and the man came back and replied, "The princess is trapped in the Maple Grove Terrace!
Many families have dug ponds in the courtyard, and then attracted living water from the Yuliang River, this time the Yuliang River rose so much, the water level of the pond connected to it will definitely rise, and after the water is full, it will spread to other low-lying places, although the Fenglintai is high, but the terrain is very low, so the water is accumulated around the Fenglintai, and the Fenglintai has become an "isolated island".
Lin was shocked, but he was relieved to know that the princess was fine, so many guards guarded, it was impossible to see the princess trapped in the middle of the water, and although she was trapped, Fenglintai was still the safest place.
It's just that what the Lin family didn't know was that when the heavy rain hit last night, Princess Duanyuan, like the Lin family, gathered all the people together, and everyone was trapped in Fenglintai at this time.
Fortunately, this water snake is not very venomous and will not die immediately, but now it is trapped by the flood, and if it is not healed soon, it will die. There is a Tai Yi stationed in the other hospital, and he is also in Fenglintai at this time, but there is no medicine, and it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and the Tai Yi is also at a loss.
Princess Duanyuan was a little anxious to go around the hall, and suddenly regretted running out so impulsively, just because he came to the other courtyard under the pretext of asking calligraphy to follow, for a man who didn't belong to him, almost lost his life, is it worth it?
"Princess, the wound is swollen, and the person has a low-grade fever!" the palace maid who took care of the wounded guard came in and replied.
Princess Duanyuan was stunned for a moment before she whispered, "Got it! Wipe him with wine, don't let him burn!"
"Yes!" the maid went down.
Princess Duanyuan is still in a daze, she has never encountered such a thing, she doesn't know what to do for a while, she is panicked, but she has to pretend to be very calm, because she knows that she can't panic, she is the backbone of this place, and when she panics, everyone will be in chaos.
"Princess, a boat is coming!"
Princess Duanyuan hurriedly rushed to the door of the main hall, and sure enough, she saw three small lotus-picking boats slowly rowing over from the muddy yellow muddy water, and suddenly the tears were about to stay, but she endured it alive.
The three servants got down from the boat and greeted Princess Duanyuan, "Princess Jin'an!" Princess Duanyuan was busy with the courtesy.
The leading mother-in-law said, "The slave maid is the descendant of the Guozi Priest Wine Fang family, and the old lady heard that the princess was trapped in Fenglin Terrace, so she specially asked the slave and maid and others to send a small boat to the princess!"
Princess Duanyuan was overjoyed when she heard this, and with the boat, they could row out, and they were no longer afraid of being bitten by water snakes. "Old Madam Fang's righteousness Duanyuan is in mind, and I also ask Mama to thank Old Madam Fang on behalf of Duanyuan!
The mother-in-law hurriedly said, "I can't afford it! I can't afford it!"
Princess Duanyuan repeatedly thanked the Fang family for sending the boat, and after sending the three mothers-in-law away, she commanded people to support the boat to find medicine and food, and there were more than 200 people in the entire Fenglin Terrace, and they didn't even drink saliva from last night to now. Fortunately, the Fenglin Terrace is big enough that it won't be crowded.
Food and water came one after another, but Princess Duanyuan had no appetite, her face was full of worry, she sent ten people to the capital to report the news, such weather, I don't know when it will arrive.
Yesterday, she insisted on going out of the capital to the other courtyard, but because she heard that he had come to the other courtyard, she stayed at the Fang family, just to see him.
But I didn't expect that just for this look, I almost fell into a place of no return, if I was really unlucky... , how sad the father and the queen mother should be, the queen mother only has herself...
The stargazing tower is much smaller than Fenglin Terrace, more than 100 people are crowded inside, and a few girls and small girls have begun to have a fever, Lin immediately made a decision, and let people clean up a yard in the farthest place from the back mountain and place the feverish people in.
But it's not a problem to have so many people crowded together, especially the pampered girls of the two families are tired at this time, and Miao can't stop rubbing her knees, she has rheumatism, and last night she came over, and it rained, so she had a seizure, and Lin felt a little headache.
In the end, I couldn't care about anything else, so I went to the river to see the flood situation, and went to the back mountain to reconnoitre, and finally decided to go downstairs, and I didn't dare to disperse the people, Lin took Yao Keqing to live in her yard, Miao took Yao Kerou to live in the East Chamber, the three sisters of the Fang family took the three sisters of the Yao family to live in the embroidery building, and Yao Qishen had to live in the inverted room of the Lin family's courtyard.
Miao was sick, and Lin didn't expect her to help, she couldn't be busy alone, so she took Fang Lizhu and Yao Keqing to help, and brought Fang Lizhu because Fang Lizhu was about to get married, and when she became a family, she had to learn to deal with such emergencies. And with Yao Keqing, it was because the Lin family knew that the Yao family would not teach her this, even if the Yao family taught her, the Lin family was not at ease, so it didn't matter if Yao Keqing was still young, he insisted on teaching her by her side.
Taking advantage of the light rain, Lin dredged all the drainage ditches blocked in the yard, and opened a few more drainage channels to help remove the stagnant water in the yard.
The well water was turbid, there was no way to drink, and there was no way to cook, and Lin's brain hurt more and more.
Yao Keqing and Fang Lizhu felt sorry for the Lin family and forced the Lin family to rest, and the two of them took care of everything.
The water precipitated after adding plant ash has an astringent taste, and it still does not dissipate after boiling, and the tea brewed naturally has a peculiar smell, Yao Kerou wanted to complain, but at this time Miao was weak, and no one supported her, so she could only put the teapot far away with a disgusted face, but in the end she couldn't stay thirsty, so she could only pinch her nose and drink.
