While talking, there were more and more people who came to see the excitement, and Grandma Zhang had to enter with Li Xianshu first, and Zhang Zhen couldn't wait to pull Ying Huaizhen to see the fireworks that were prepared, and kept pointing out to her: What is this, what is that, chirping can't stop talking.

There are many small guys in Zhang's house, and they have moved the fireworks to the gate to line up, the door of this Zhangfu is extremely wide, there are more than ten zhang from east to west, and there is a firework every seven or eight steps or so, and a small house is in charge of a firework waiting for the order.

At this time, those people poured out of the streets and alleys, stood still from afar and waited to see, and when the arrangement was ready, Zhang Guanren gave an order, and the little servants lit the twelve "fire trees and silver flowers" first.

When the fireworks bloomed on a long road, as if a huge pine tree was on fire, it spewed out gorgeous and magnificent fireworks from the bottom to the top, the fireworks sprayed higher and higher, and went over the courtyard wall, and the bigger and bigger, connected with the surroundings, as if a gilded fireworks wall, and the flames that burned out fell from the sky one after another, instantly like thousands of meteors falling, and like falling broken gold all over the ground, such a formation, great and majestic, the people saw wonderful, all applauded.

Ying Huaizhen stood at the door, staring intently, the golden light jumped on her face, it seemed to be extinguished, and the fireworks in front of her went from magnificent and fierce to gradually silent, how could it not be a human life? At first cautiously, then unstoppable, courageously stepped forward, and finally landed lonely, and that's it.

Although this fireworks is dazzlingly beautiful, when you think about it, you can't help but sigh. Ying Huai was really thinking nonsense, and listened to Zhang Zhen whisper in his ear: "Sister, let's not watch this, I have a fun one in my possession, you come, I'll show you." ”

It turned out that Zhang Zhen saw that the little guys were lighting the fireworks, and he was eager to try to go up and order them, but Zhang Daguan and the young grandmother were not allowed, but he was afraid that his children would be careless and afraid that something would happen.

Zhang Zhen saw that Ying Huaizhen could see that he was divine, so he wanted to show off his courage in front of Ying Huaizhen, so after whispering to her, he dragged him into the courtyard.

Although Ying Lanfeng saw it, he thought that the two of them probably didn't know what to say, so he didn't care.

Over there, Zhang Zhen pulled Ying Huaizhen to the hall, then climbed behind the vase, touched a long tube of fireworks, and said, "This is fun, I deliberately kept it." ”

Ying Huaizhen said: "What is this? Don't mess around, it's not good to be careful and hurt. ”

Zhang Zhen wanted to show his supernatural powers, so he said: "It's okay, come, I'll show you." ”

The two came to the courtyard and saw that there was no one around, Zhang Zhen put the tube on the ground, and went to the inner room to pull out a stick of incense, Ying Huaizhen was slightly nervous, and said, "Don't mess around, let's go out and see." ”

Zhang Zhen smiled: "After letting go of this, I will naturally go out." He pulled Ying Huaizhen at the door and said, "You just stand here, don't move." ”

Ying Huaizhen couldn't help but have a little heartbeat, and when he saw that Zhang Zhen was thinking like this, he had to say, "You be careful, come over soon after you order it." ”

Zhang Zhen really responded, leaned over to order the thing, Ying Huaizhen watched from a distance, and suddenly felt his heart beat faster, eager to pull Zhang Zhen back, but it was already late at the moment, the incense in Zhang Zhen's hand flickered, and he only heard a "snort", and the fireworks had been lit.

Ying Huaizhen couldn't help screaming and said, "Come back quickly!" Zhang Zhen was also clever, and sure enough, she turned around and ran this way.

It happened in an instant.

Outside the wall, there are high fireworks, straight to the sky, blooming brightly, like a golden chrysanthemum, attracting the cheers of all the people, Zhang Zhen is full of joy to Ying Huaizhen to run here, hearing the sound and turning his head to look over, in his eyes, clearly reflected two clusters of golden light and shadow, shining in the pupils, floating light and gold.

Almost at the same time, a gust of wind swept by, like a sudden exclamation, and the fireworks that stood in place swayed, and at the moment of the first sound, they fell in the direction of the doorway!

The bright, almost dazzling firelight also burned Ying Huaizhen's eyes, and she barely had time to raise her hand to cover her eyes, and the light rushed towards her impatiently.

Zhang Zhen's gaze moved downward, and the smile on his face turned into horror in an instant, and he suddenly looked back at Ying Huaizhen not far behind him, - at this moment he was running, and if he took a step at this time, he would jump to the side lightly to dodge, but this fireworks would inevitably rush towards Ying Huaizhen.

Zhang Zhen was stunned and shouted: "Sister! Suddenly, instead of retreating, he suddenly accelerated his steps and rushed in the direction of Ying Huaizhen, opening his arms and hugging her tightly.

Zhang Zhen was chubby, and much taller than Ying Huaizhen, such a hug blocked her from the air, and at the moment when he pounced, the firelight had already hit him, Zhang Zhen only felt a burning pain in his legs, and involuntarily screamed, but he still hugged Ying Huaizhen and refused to let go.

The fireworks that fell to the ground hissed, because a fireball popped up, the barrel shook for a long time, and then turned away, and the second fireworks hit the door next to Zhang Zhen and Ying Huaizhen, making a sharp and piercing whistling, and the exploded fireworks scattered in all directions, like a big golden flower suddenly blooming on the door.

The exclamation came from not far away, and someone shouted the names of the two children, and then ran over, and the one in front of him was Ying Lanfeng.

Ying Lanfeng actually saw the fireworks fall to the ground when he just entered the door, and when he called out "Zhen'er", it was when the people outside the wall cheered.

Seeing Zhang Zhen protect Ying Huaizhen, the shock in Ying Lanfeng's heart was indescribable, but it was too late for him to hesitate, Ying Lanfeng lifted his robe and ran quickly towards the fireworks that fell to the ground, taking advantage of the fireworks hissing in place, he picked it up and threw it towards the empty yard on the other side of him.

Ying Lanfeng didn't stop at his feet, but still took a look, and saw that there was no danger of the firelight gradually falling to the ground, so he breathed a sigh of relief, he took off his robe while running, ran to the door, leaned down, and wrapped Zhang Zhen's legs with a cotton robe.

Things happened so fast, almost in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that the first fireworks were shooting on Zhang Zhen's legs, I don't know how it hurt, but there was some flashing firelight, it had reached the waist, Ying Lanfeng was thrilled, and it took a few shots to completely extinguish the fire, and at this moment there was also a noise behind him, but Li Xianshu and Grandma Zhang rushed in.

Ying Lanfeng extinguished the fire, hurriedly looked up, and saw that Zhang Zhen still refused to let go, the two children did not move, Ying Huaizhen was held tightly and couldn't see anything, but Zhang Zhen's situation was shocking, half of his clothes were burned to pieces, and he didn't know how to hurt his legs, only half of his legs were bloody, and the ground was also bloodstained.

Ying Lanfeng called in a trembling voice: "Yuanbao? Really? ”

At this time, Grandma Zhang and Li Xianshu ran forward together, Grandma Zhang looked at her son's tragic situation, wanted to reach out and hug but didn't dare, covered her mouth and screamed, stood unsteadily, almost fainted, and the maid behind her hurriedly supported her.

Lee Hyun-sook also shouted, "Zhen'er! wanted to bring Ying Huaizhen out, but Zhang Zhen hugged it tightly, so he had to call again: "Yuanbao!" Yuanbao, how are you? Let go and let me see your sister! ”

Zhang Zhen let go of her hand, opened her eyes as if she had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly asked, "Is my sister okay?" ”

He didn't let go of his hand, only to let go of his hand, Ying Huaizhen looked down, and suddenly saw Zhang Zhen's leg with blurred flesh and blood, she opened her eyes wide, looking at the wound deadly, and her chest rushed up in one breath, although her eyes were round, but she couldn't see anything, only to see a cloud of darkness, and Li Xianshu Ying Lanfeng and others called in her ears, Ying Huaizhen only felt that the sky was dizzy, and her body fell backwards involuntarily and fainted!

Afterwards, Ying Huaizhen once thought about where the extremely ominous premonition that suddenly arose in her heart came from.

Was it because she had foreseen something wrong by chance, or because of the shadow of her past life, she had an unknown fear of what was going to happen?

When he woke up again, seeing Li Xianshu and Ying Lanfeng by his side, Ying Huaizhen carefully looked at the two figures and confirmed that he was still a five-year-old child, so he got up suddenly.

Li Xianshu hurriedly hugged her: "What are you doing?" I'm going to faint again when I'm so anxious! ”

Ying Huaizhen said: "Mother, where is the ingot? How's his leg? Before he said a word, he was already in tears, and he couldn't control himself.

In her previous life, Zhang Zhen's leg was lame, but she couldn't remember why he was lame. Last time, because of the abduction, I thought I had responded to Zhang Zhen's catastrophe, and I was very happy at the time, but what about now?

Could it be ...... After all, you can't hide from it? And this time, it was for her that she was injured! If Zhang Zhen is really lame because of her, how can she still get it in this life?

Ying Huaizhen covered his face, cried profusely, and choked up intermittently and shouted: "I want to see the big ingot, take me quickly!" ”

Li Xianshu and Ying Lanfeng were extremely flustered, they had never seen her cry so much, Ying Lanfeng hurriedly said: "Zhen'er, Yuanbao's leg is fine, it's just burned, and the doctor said it's okay." ”

Ying Huaizhen was stunned, put down his little hand, but his face was still red from crying, and he was covered with tears, and asked, "Really?" No...... You must have lied to me! Fu burst into tears again.

Li Xianshu heard her say this, but she was relieved and could cry and scream, proving that the child was fine, so she hurriedly hugged Ying Huaizhen, and comforted her carefully: "Ah Zhen is good, don't cry if you are obedient, my mother told you, Yuanbao's legs have been called by four or five doctors to see, all of them are the best in the county, and they all say that it is just a skin injury, and it will be good to raise it for three or five or seven days!" And Yuan Bao also shouted that he wanted to come to see you, but the doctor didn't allow him to move, so he didn't call! ”

Ying Huaizhen heard it sentence by sentence, and his heart went up and down, but he didn't cry anymore, but said, "Didn't my mother lie to me?" Then I'm going to see him! ”

Seeing that she was going to go immediately, Li Xianshu nodded and comforted: "Good boy, what did my mother lie to you?" Don't cry first, it's still the middle of the night, the ingots should drink the medicine and rest, it's not good for you to disturb him in the past, now you go to sleep obediently, and wait for tomorrow early in the morning, my mother will take you over to see the ingots, so that you can see with your own eyes, okay? ”

Ying Huaizhen nodded and sniffed again, tears still falling from his eyes.

Early the next morning, Li Xianshu really took Ying Huaizhen to Zhang's mansion to visit Zhang Zhen, Zhang Zhen also woke up early, but he was not allowed to go to the ground, he heard that Ying Huaizhen was coming, he was very happy, and he moved to the edge of the kang and said, "Sister, come quickly!" ”

The curtain was lifted, Ying Huaizhen ran in first, Zhang Zhen saw her eyes red, and said in a daze, "Are you crying again?" Why are you crying, is it because you were scared last night? ”

Ying Huaizhen's nose was sour, and he only said, "I'm not scared, how is your leg?" Looking down, I saw Zhang Zhen with a thin woolen blanket on her legs, which was not real.

When Zhang Zhen heard her say this, she said, "It's okay, it's just that I can't play with you for the next few days, and my mother won't allow me to go to the ground." ”

Ying Huaizhen said: "That...... What about the injury? Will it ...... or not", but it always turns on the tip of the tongue and can't say it.

Zhang Zhen didn't understand, so she just looked at her and didn't answer. Ying Huaizhen held back his tears and said, "Just say that you have hurt your muscles and bones, and you can run and jump in the future to make ......?" ”

When Zhang Zhen heard this, she laughed and said, "It turns out that you are afraid that I won't play with you, don't worry, the doctor said that after more than ten days, it will still be the same as before, and you can run and jump." ”

Ying Huaizhen listened to what he said in person, and saw that he was in good spirits, so he breathed a sigh of relief again, and still said, "Show me ......"

Zhang Zhen said: "It's wrapped, it's not good-looking." Watch out for scaring you. ”

Ying Huaizhen said: "I'm not so easily scared, you show me I'm so relieved." ”

Zhang Zhen had to gently lift the blanket, because he was injured by gunpowder, it was a broken injury and burns, and some places were lightly bandaged, but most of the burns could not be bandaged, so he was only covered with a very light silk scarf, Ying Huaizhen looked down, his heart was almost suffocated, only to see a piece from the calf to the knee and thigh, all of which were burns, which were unbearable, and the scar was inevitable.

Ying Huai was really sad, and he almost couldn't help crying again, and asked with tears in his eyes: "Is it painful?" ”

Zhang Zhen raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face and said, "There is some pain, but I am not afraid, but I am a little afraid." ”

Ying Huaizhen asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Zhang Zhen said: "What if it almost hurts you?" Then I might as well be dead. ”

Ying Huaizhen stretched out his hand and wanted to hit him, but he held back, took a breath, and then said: "You have to listen to your father's words, listen to the doctor's words, and take care of your legs before going to the ground, otherwise I will ignore you for the rest of my life." ”

Zhang Zhen was a little nervous, and when she heard that she was for her own good, she laughed again: "I know, I'll play with you when I can run and jump, but you remember, come and see me every once in a while, otherwise I'm going to suffocate to death...... Maybe I can't help but go to the county office to play with you. ”

Ying Huaizhen was angry and funny, but he still agreed.

Although Zhang Zhen personally confirmed, Ying Huaizhen was still worried, so after more than ten days, Zhang Zhen was finally able to go to the ground, Ying Huaizhen was extremely nervous, carefully looked at his walking posture, and did not see anything unusual, only half relieved.

After more than ten days, Zhang Zhen can already run and jump, her legs and feet are very smooth, and she is more lively than before, Ying Huaizhen's heart can be completely put down, but every time she thinks about it, she still can't help but wet her eyes with tears.

After this time, the two families are getting better and better than before.

One day, Li Xianshu said to Ying Lanfeng: "Last time, the young grandmother of the Zhang family suddenly mentioned to me, saying that it was better to let Yuanbao and Ah Zhen have a baby kiss. ”

Ying Lanfeng was stunned: "Is there such a thing?" How did you get back? ”

Li Xianshu said: "There were many people at that time, so I casually diverged it, even if this kind of thing has to be decided, we have to discuss it, right?" ”

Ying Lanfeng nodded thoughtfully, Li Xianshu sighed again, and said, "However, this time because of the fireworks, I really didn't want to go when I saw Yuanbao like that." ”

In the past few days, Ying Lanfeng has never forgotten the situation that night when Zhang Zhen ignored Ying Huaizhen, and every time she thought about it, she felt trembling, even if she changed her adult, she could not help but be able to do it, and Zhang Zhen, this child, was indeed rare.

Ying Lanfeng said: "Yuanbao is really good to Zhen'er, and I can see it these days, the two are not separated from Meng, and Meng is not out of focus, but if it really talks about marriage...... I can't help but think about it, Yuan Bao is indeed not picky, but look at his father...... I'm afraid that if the ingots grow up, they will be as romantic as Zhang Yunfei...... Aren't we the ones who suffer the grievances? ”

Li Xianshu listened in a daze, she didn't expect Ying Lanfeng to say such a thing, she couldn't help laughing dumbly, clapped her hands and said, "Heavenly God Bodhisattva, it's really funny!" You've even thought of this! ”

Ying Lanfeng smiled: "That's natural, I must not let Zhen'er suffer a little grievance." Naturally, everything should be thought about for her, and from my point of view, although Yuanbao is dedicated to the good of Zhen'er, but Zhen'er is like, it seems to be ...... Yuanbao."

Speaking of this, Ying Lanfeng frowned slightly and pondered, but he couldn't say the feeling in his heart.

Li Xianshu said: "When my mother was here last time, I also said that I wanted to find a good son-in-law for Zhen'er, but this time I suddenly talked about this again, which made me really a little reluctant - Zhen'er is still so young, so I'm busy trying to give her to a bastard?" Hengzhu only said that once, and it may not be serious...... Let's just pretend we don't know. ”

Ying Lanfeng nodded in agreement, and said: "Anyway, the children are still young, although the ingots are good, they have to look at it for a long time, in case it is crooked, and it follows his Lao Tzu's situation, wouldn't it be bad?" ”

Li Xianshu couldn't help but smile and bow down, and said deliberately: "The adults should have evidence, and their words are reasonable, and the women are convinced!" ”

Spring bloomed, everything recovered, the mountains and rivers were new green, the ice in the rivers melted, and there was the sound of gurgling water everywhere in the mountains.

On this day, Ying Lanfeng went to the towns and villages to check the spring ploughing situation, when the horse passed through the Annihilation Lake, he saw several people going to the lake to fetch water and water the ground, because there were many people coming and going, and a sheep intestine path was also sprinkled with water, muddy, very difficult, there was an old man who slipped under his feet, and fell to the ground, and the hard-earned water was also splashed on the ground.

Ying Lanfeng hurriedly called Jinbao to help him up, turned over and dismounted, and the old man saw that it was Ying Zhi County coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Ying Lanfeng saw that his face was dark, wrinkled, and thin, and he looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, so he couldn't help asking, "My husband is still here to carry water when he is so old?" How long has it come and gone? ”

The old man said: "Back to my lord, the grass people are from Yaojia Village, seven miles away from here, because the family planted some vegetable fields, if you don't water, you will die, there was a well in the village, but because of the drought last year, the water has not come up so far, so I have to work hard." ”

Ying Lanfeng asked a few words, and the old man turned around to fetch water again, Ying Lanfeng couldn't help but worry when he saw his staggering figure.

That night, Ying Lanfeng thought of the old man he saw during the day, and the situation that the villages and towns were still suffering from the water, this annihilation lake was huge, the terrain was lower, and the geography was special, after a winter of brewing, the snow water penetrated, and it was full again, and hundreds of people came to fetch water every day.

Ying Lanfeng thought about it, got up and walked to the bookshelf, opened the door of the cabinet below, rummaged through it for a long time, and finally found a dusty scroll, he opened it by the light and looked at it, with a smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Ying Lanfeng wrote an official letter, asking the government to send it to the government as soon as possible. In the afternoon, the messenger returned, and when he entered the door, he presented a reply.

Ying Lanfeng opened the letter, read it several times, laughed a few times, was very proud, laughed for a while, but snorted again, and slapped the letter on the table with a "snap".

Just as Huaizhen was passing outside, when he saw this, he leaned on the side of the door and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Did anyone you off? ”

Ying Lanfeng beckoned to her, Ying Huaizhen ran over, Ying Lanfeng hugged her on his lap, and said, "Dad is not angry, Dad just wants to be really here at one time, and at another time." ”

Ying Huaizhen was puzzled, Ying Lanfeng blew her nose, and said with a smile: "You don't understand this, it's just ...... Now that they have opened Chrysostom, then Daddy will do it big first! ”

Ying Huaizhen naturally didn't understand what Ying Lanfeng said, and he didn't know anything, but he gradually learned about it later.

In fact, this idea was put forward as early as the second year of his tenure, but at that time, he reported to the government office, but he was criticized, saying that he was making trouble for no reason and wanted to spend manpower and material resources, so the plan was also buried at the bottom of the cabinet at that time.

Now Ying Lanfeng rethinks of the old things, and can't help but think of what Wang Kexun said in the government, Wang Kexun stopped him from resigning, and once said that if Ying Lanfeng has difficulties, he will report to the government, and he will definitely do his best to help.

Ying Lanfeng deliberately sent another official letter, explaining the drought situation in Taizhou and the plan he wanted to implement, the silver taels he needed, etc., and he secretly calculated in his heart: If Wang Kexun rejected it this time, he would just resign logically.

I didn't expect Wang Kexun to approve it, and he was so happy.

Ying Lanfeng looked at Lord Wang's reply, laughing and helpless, so that he sighed "this time and that time".

Because he had the approval of the government and the money, Ying Lanfeng simply started to gather the people in charge of the villages and towns, gather the workers needed every day, and stated that they would pay their wages every day.

For the people, it is just a bleak spring day to have money to make, and this is a good move for them, so everyone is enthusiastic, all vying for the first, Taizhou County's canal diversion of water began vigorously, although the project is huge, but also encountered a number of difficulties, but because of the many people are united, it was done very smoothly, it only took more than three months, the canals of the entire Taizhou County are vertical and horizontal, extending in all directions, changing the previous embarrassment and drought.

After Ying Huaizhen figured out the ins and outs of this matter, he held his head and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't scrape out any memories of the Taizhou Canal in his mind......

After thinking about it for several days, he finally slowly felt at ease, and Ying Huaizhen comforted himself: as long as the canal will not become a major evil government of Ying Lanfeng, it will be fine.

However, Ying Huaizhen is not an omniscient person after all.

What she didn't know was that the water in Taizhou was actually inseparable from Ying Lanfeng.

In his previous life, Lin Shenzhou did not come to Taizhou to "meet" Ying Lanfeng in person, and the prefect was not killed on the spot, but was only dismissed and escorted for investigation.

Wang Kexun did not come to Taizhou in person, so Ying Lanfeng still did not build the canal, but left after his term expired.

But that's not the end of it.

More than half a year after Ying Lanfeng left Taizhou, it suddenly rained in Taizhou for several days, and finally it became a flood.

On a windy and rainy night, water gushed out from the lake, flooding more than half of a dozen towns in Taizhou, killing and injuring countless people.

This matter has nothing to do with Ying Lanfeng, because Ying Lanfeng has already been transferred.

In addition, no one thought that Taizhou, which had a severe drought last year, would be flooded this year, let alone what canals to build.

It is precisely because Ying Lanfeng built the canal that in the upcoming flood in the autumn of this year, the water of the Annihilated Lake was dredged by the canals that extend in all directions, although the waterlogging occurred, but it did not form a large-scale flood, and there were no deaths or injuries.

These things should be really unknown to Huaizhen, and there is no way to know.

Although she was reborn and knew how to pay attention, she was still one of the vast beings between heaven and earth, ignorant of what would happen in the future, and what she had done would change unintentionally.

However...... Maybe...... All of them are developing in a good direction.

For example, Zhang Zhen's legs, such as Annihilation Lake.

Ying Lanfeng stood in the middle of the people who were working, pointing out where to start, while studying the direction of the river and the arrangement of the canal with the elderly and experienced water workers next to him.

The surrounding people carried stones and stones, and dug the soil, and some people sang local songs, causing a sound of harmony, and laughter, and the songs and laughter spread out in all directions, fluttering and rippling far away.

Laughter carried the wind, swirling and swaying in the shade of the trees.

And just under the shade of the umbrella tree on the side of the mountain in the distance, on a big bluestone, there is a person wearing a felt hat, sitting on the ground, he raised his hand on the snow-colored white paper to put down the pen, the ink is smudged, a few strokes will outline a character with awe-inspiring bones, vivid, lifelike, good shape, just like the Ying Lan wind in the distance.

And the author looked at it for a moment, and smiled lightly: "I really can't see that this person is actually a child of the Ying family?" Not bad, not bad! ”

The ink-colored pen gradually expanded, extending from Ying Lanfeng's side, and gradually there were many people, mountains and waterfalls, and Songtao spring stones...... Another stroke is swayed out, it is the suddenly open cloudy sky, the magnificent and continuous rivers and mountains, and the stunning characters who are in it and shoulder the grace and arrogance.

Half a month after the canal was completed, the officials in Beijing came: Ying Lanfeng, the magistrate of Taizhou, was ordered to report to Beijing immediately
