The convoy departed from Yingtian City and headed south.

Today is the second day of walking on the road.

I looked out of the carriage window and saw the dark clouds in the sky, and my eyes couldn't help but darken, and I saw that the mountain rain was coming!

Chen Shi sat opposite me, glanced in the direction of the car window, and said worriedly: "This season was originally the rainy season in Jiangnan. "However, there has been a heavy flood in the Jianghuai area, and if this heavy rain continues, I am afraid that the weak point of the river will burst again."

I shook my head and sighed.

At this time, the carriage under me suddenly braked sharply, accompanied by a few violent bumps, and seeing that Chen Shi, who was sitting on the opposite side, was about to fall to the ground if he couldn't sit steadily, I quickly reached out to support him!

Frightened, I stood up, pulled the curtain and shouted in the direction of the front of the car, "What's wrong?" ”

The person who drove the car for Renshantang was hired from a dart bureau in Yingtian.

Since he went from Yingtian to the flooded south, the shopkeeper's subordinates searched the entire Yingtian City, and only this dart bureau was willing to accept this errand, and the price was double that of normal walking on weekdays.

The driver responded, "There is a group of displaced people in the valley ahead. ”

My heart jumped, and it suddenly occurred to me that the displaced people he said should have been brought from Jianghuai.

I know from the conversation between Master Chen and the shopkeeper that a large number of displaced people from the south have gathered in the north of Jianghuai, and most of them have escaped from the floods.

This group of people arrived in the north of Jianghuai and once asked the local government to dispatch all the manpower to maintain order.

Our convoy was now parked halfway up the mountain, which was steep and cliffs on one side. From my vantage point, I could clearly see that the vagrants that the driver had spoken of were coming from the valley in the distance in the direction of ours.

Several of the guys who followed the car gathered together, and the expressions in their eyes were not only shocked but also worried.

Not only me, but they must have also heard about what happened when the displaced people gathered in the north of Jianghuai.

"Dr. Chen. Do you want to avoid it? The driver saw the ragged homeless people and said with concern.

Master Chen pushed away my hand and got out of the carriage.

He walked to a rocky side and stood on the trunk of a tree beside the road to look down on the valley. He whispered, "I'm afraid not." ”

"Teacher, what the driver said is not unreasonable," I looked at the valley road worriedly, "We can only help, and the things on the car are planned to be transported to Jianghuai to open a branch library." ”

"So many people come, if you use robbers, I'm afraid"

"Xiaolin, before leaving, did you follow the steward to take stock of the number of things we carried." Master Chen pondered for a moment and then said. "Give them some for now."

The "remaining" Chen Shi observed the surrounding terrain.

The driver answered: "Go up the mountain and follow the road." I saw a hidden cave. For the sake of caution, the rest of the belongings can be temporarily hidden in that place, and the entrance to the cave can be disguised a little. ”

Pressing matter. Act now!

"Teacher, you go with the driver to the cave to take refuge. I stayed with two guys. Without hesitation, I said, "If there are patients in their team who need to be treated, I'll deal with them temporarily." ”

"Speaking of which, this place is not far from Yingtian." "Compared to the desperate homeless people in the south of the Yangtze River, they at least rushed here, and the situation is much better"

What I didn't say was actually that I had concerns.

I left a cart with medicine, and I left some extra food for the children in the homeless ranks.

Ignoring Master Chen's objections, I asked a few young men to take him to the car, but he couldn't resist my insistence, and I repeatedly emphasized to him: "Teacher, you still have to stay in the south to treat more patients." "If you're here, you're stuck in the middle of the road, and you're going to think about what you're going to do next?" "After all, you're the backbone of our team."

It was raining, and in the attic by the Taiye Pool, Xiao Ning leaned against the railing and looked at the water of the Taiye Pool.

Last night, there was a torrential rain, and the water level of the Taiye Pool rose a lot, and at this moment he sighed a little tired.

The twists and turns on the case have piled up as high as a hill.

This time, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River was menacing, and the big river broke down, and the officials guarding the south of the Yangtze River submitted several urgent letters and folds non-stop.

convened officials overnight to discuss the matter, and Mr. Ge's repeated instructions not to delay the course of treatment were mistaken by this heavy accumulation of business.

But no one in the Zihuan Palace dared to say a word of persuasion!

At this stall, what to say is like begging for a beating, only the dumb palace maid, although she can't speak, but stubbornly brings up the boiled medicine again and again.

Even if she couldn't get into the council chamber, she just stood outside the door and waited.

The pain came up for a while, Xiao Ning reached out and clenched his fist to press the sore spot, and his heart was even more troubled.

He turned and walked back to the bowl of medicine left on the table by the mute maid he had sent away, a small plate of candied fruit in a blue-glazed saucer.

The medicine was already cold, he raised his hand and took it, drank it in one gulp, and almost choked.

The medicine is miserable!

Thinking of her smiling face, her eyes looked at him and said softly: "Medicine is the least bitter when it is lukewarm, you give it a try." ”

He took a dried apricot and put it in his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste somewhat suppressed the discomfort that came up.

As soon as I thought of her, I couldn't stay in the waterfront attic

Staying in the study room in the Zihuan Palace until it was getting late, Xiao Ning finished reviewing the large pile of folds and prepared to announce his decision tomorrow morning!

With his hand tapped on the table, he closed his eyes and said to the palace man waiting outside the curtain: "Prepare the car, leave the palace." ”

The person who was supposed to respond loudly did not move unexpectedly!

Xiao Ning's eyes turned cold, and he was about to get up, but he saw the people behind the curtain hurriedly walking in.

The mute maid bowed her head and presented a letter.

Xiao Ning took it with some surprise, opened it quickly, and saw the familiar handwriting on the letterhead, his heart tightened.

After reading ten lines at a glance, he couldn't help it anymore!

Raise your hand and sweep all the books on the desk to the ground!

Xiao Ning said angrily: "Why now." and then the letter was presented?!! ”

The dumb palace maid gestured in a panic, from last night to now, he has been busy with government affairs, except for the courtiers who came in and out. It's the first time I've let someone in!

It was he who stopped the person who was supposed to deliver the news to him in time.

Xiao Ning didn't care about pursuing other things, he lowered his head and calculated the time, and only set off at noon yesterday. According to the itinerary to Jianghuai, it should be in time to hurry up!

Thinking about this, he suppressed his anger and softened his tone: "Prepare for me immediately, and I will leave tomorrow after the morning court." “

The dumb palace maid raised her head and looked at Xiao Ning in shock, and he said impatiently: "Didn't hear clearly? “

She nodded, shook her head quickly, and stepped back without a word.

Xiao Ning leaned back in his chair. The moment I heard the door being pushed shut. The footsteps outside the corridor were like chasing fast away

The second day after leaving Yingtian City. The convoy arrived at the next small town.

I found an inn to settle down for the night, and I needed to buy some food in the city.

Sent by the shopkeeper, a few young men from Renshantang who accompanied us to Jianghuai with the convoy volunteered to buy.

I originally wanted to go along. But the body really can't keep up, and it is estimated that I can't take much when I go. I can only stay in the inn to rest temporarily, with Master Chen.

I made a list, wrote down the coefficients of what I needed to buy, and gave it to the oldest of the fellows, along with the money!

I specially asked him to buy more dry food that is easy to carry and store.

During the rainy season, everything is easy to spoil, and delicious and moist sweets often don't last the next day if they are left on for one day.

The cake with less moisture and a dry taste can be left for two more days, although it tastes like chewing crumbs.

I washed up in the room, took a shower happily, washed away the fatigue of the past two days, walked out of the door, and went to find Master Chen.

"Teacher," I pushed open the door, found him, and said the question in my heart bluntly, "the flood in Jiangnan, but that day I heard the shopkeeper say that many refugees have fled to the north of Jianghuai, but a little distance, can you ensure safety?" “

Chen Shi paused and said: "Xiaolin, you don't know, the topography of Jianghuai is different from other places, the south is a large low-lying plain, and the main city in the north of Jianghuai is built on a mountain. "In other words, the terrain of Jianghuai North is a mountain city." "If it's not even safe there, what will this river look like?" "For thousands of years, there has been no precedent, so refugees feel safe when they go to Jianghuai North." "That's right!" I sighed in my heart, and then remembered the homeless people I encountered yesterday, fortunately, I had the foresight to leave some of the supplies for them, and the rest were all evacuated to the cave with Master Chen and the charioteers. "That group of people, leaving Jianghuai North and going straight to Yingtian, what do you say it is for?"

Chen Shi thought for a while, and whispered: "It's about the place where the disaster is the hardest, even the terrain of the mountain city in the north of Jianghuai makes them lack confidence, and they feel that the safest place in the world is the root of Emperor Ying'er." “

"That's why I'm working hard, and I must rush to Yingtian City."

"Xiaolin, more than 20 years ago, there was also a time when the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were flooded, and it was "

"At that time, how did the emperor deal with it?" I took Master Chen's words and said, "The one lying in the Hanyuan Palace." ”

"Naturally, I experienced the south of the Yangtze River to comfort the victims, and the flood control dam in the area of the river was built by the emperor at that time."

"This dam can only last for 20 years?" I frowned slightly, thinking incredible, this project is too unreliable!

"There are two possibilities, one is that the flood is too big to resist, after all, the local news says that it has not been seen in more than 20 years.

"Another possibility is that the official who presided over the construction in the first place," Chen Shi said with uncertainty in his tone.

Of course, I understood what Master Chen didn't say, and I was stunned for a moment.

I had palpitations for a while, and I couldn't say a word!

This is a life-and-death project, and it is a matter of how many lives are on both sides of the river!
