Chapter 35: The Flood
The clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, the heavy rain finally stopped, and within ten miles around Taishang Lake, I don't know how many cities were all in the water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Chen Xiu lay down tiredly, Qi Zuiting woke up, and the little boy was in the water because he was frightened, and he was still struggling in his sleep.
Suddenly, a boat passed by on the calm water, and he didn't know who it was, so Chen Xiu got up and shouted for help. The big boat released a small boat, and the small boat picked up Chen Xiu a few times. It turned out to be the one who came to search and rescue the country.
The boat company had to get them to safety all the way, and many people were rescued along the way south. Someone brought them clean clothes, but Qi Zuiting refused to change his clothes, "I can also go and save people!" ”
He fainted and woke up, and those people would let him out? It is said that there are enough manpower.
There are enough people, and there is no need to add to the chaos. Qi Zuiting's head was still a little confused, rubbed the back of his head and sat down and sighed with a smile, "Fortunately, Kunwu Gongzi didn't come, otherwise I am afraid that I can't bear such a toss!" ”
"Kungo?" Chen Xiu was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about Kunwu Gongzi?" Thinking about it, he rolled his eyes and said, "You mean that the person who was injured in Pingluo is not Kungo?" ”
"He has rough skin and thick meat, and he can't be strong, which is Kunwu Gongzi! I didn't ask Mr. to say that it was dangerous to come over this time, so I asked Cheng Shan to come over instead of Childe! Qi Zuiting said with a smile.
Chen Xiu's eyes were shining, and he shook Qi Zuting Pavilion, "Do you know who your son is?" Is he related to Chen Guoguo? ”
Qi Zuiting was confused, "No, right?" Do you know Kungo Gongzi? ”
No one has ever said Kunwu's identity, no one has asked, and Qi Zuiting doesn't know. Chen Xiu couldn't ask and didn't ask anymore, but expectation and hope reappeared in his heart.
Geng Xiaoduo and his party were at the foot of a mountain that had not been flooded, and the water washed away the people in Lianyunzhai, and only one-tenth of them were here at this time.
Lu Yu looked at the calm surface of Taishang Lake, and suddenly said, "Do you know which direction Ten Thousand Poison Mountain is?" ”
Geng Xiaoduo pointed to a place in the northwest. Lu Yu nodded, and looked at everyone again, "I'll go find him." So saying, when he reached the water's edge, he propped up a small boat and headed northwest.
Feng Hu didn't know what she was going to do, and wanted to ask, but was stopped by Geng Xiaoduo.
Geng Xiaoduo looked at it, tears couldn't help but drop a few drops, but there was a smile on his face, "Go and see how many people there are here!" Find a few people who still have the strength to go to the lake to save people! ”
Lu Yu arrived near Wanpoison Mountain, found the red stone cliff mentioned by Zhu Mandao, got off the boat, sat on the stone and waited. Sunrise and sunset, sunset and sunrise, Lu Yu barely closed his eyes. The sunset reflects the water, the water surface is red, and the lake water sends a person up in the afterglow. Sure enough, it's Zhu Mandao!
Lu Yu dragged Zhu Mandao to the shore and shouted softly, "Brute Knife! ”
Zhu Mandao seemed to hear the call, his fingers moved, and he muttered, "Lu Yu." ”
Lu Yu cried with joy, and hurriedly held Zhu Mandao's hand, but saw a few traces of blood flowing out of Zhu Mandao's eyes. Lu Yu panicked, and suddenly there were tears in his eyes, and he kept wiping away the blood. Zhu Mandao felt Lu Yu's panic, and clenched Lu Yu even tighter, "It's okay, I'm fine." It will be fine in a few days. ”
Lu Yu swallowed his whimper and forced a smile, "Okay." Let's get out of here first. ”
The boat headed southeast, and when everyone in Lianyunzhai converged, Geng Xiaoduo and Feng Hu had already put this place in order.
Zhu Mandao's eyes couldn't see the light, and he had already wrapped it in a cloth, Feng Hu was naturally surprised when he saw his box, "Second master! Your eyes!
Zhu Mandao chuckled, signaling that he didn't need to ask again, and said to Geng Xiaoduo, "How many people can be gathered now?" ”
"Two thousand." Geng Xiao said a lot. She kept looking at Zhu Mandao, looking at his eyes, and her eyes never left for a moment.
"Let the unconscious people who are still awake try to search and rescue others." Zhu Mandao said.
"Yes." Geng Xiaoduo said, "I have already written a letter asking for help to the Xue family in the north, the Lin family in the south, and people everywhere. ”
"The important thing now is food and clothing." Zhu Mandao seemed to sense the bitterness in Geng Xiaoduo's voice, and paused for a long time, not knowing what to say. He just passed by to save her life, but Geng Xiaoduo handed over this life to him. Finally, he said, "Thank you." ”
Geng Xiaoduo was stunned, looked at Zhu Mandao, and smiled hastily, "Second master, you don't have to say that. ”
The flooding of Taishang Lake is really rare in the world, and it is even unimaginable, and no one knows why the water of Taishang Lake suddenly rose. In the night sky, Zhu Mandao looked at the Taishang Lake, which had returned to calm. He couldn't see, he could only feel the cold wind blowing from all directions, his brows were unbreakable, and the stones in his hands were almost crushed.
Helplessness, sadness, self-blame, and even despair.
There are several small temporary shelters on the southern shore of Taishang Lake. The wooden stakes and thatch were the things of the house, and the ground was covered with straw, and Qi Zuiting and Chen Xiu rested here for a few days. At noon, there was a long queue in front of the soup kitchen.
"I'm afraid I'm going to run out of food in the next few days." Qi Zuiting held the broken bowl and jumped onto the improvised wooden stake. The porridge in the bowl was so thin that the grains of rice could almost be counted.
The food temporarily prepared by the defense of the country is really a drop in the bucket in the face of hundreds of thousands of victims.
It's winter, it's cold.
Chen Xiu looked at the long queue in front of the porridge shed, such a thin rice porridge was about to bottom out. A few people who wanted to take the opportunity to cut in line were driven out by the patrolling soldiers, and the rest of them stared at the bowls in their hands for fear of being snatched away. A child was staring at Chen Xiu's bowl, his saliva didn't know how long it had flowed, and he sucked and woke up Chen Xiu.
Something big is going to happen. Chen Xiu said in his heart.
"Do you want it?" Chen Xiu smiled. The child nodded, and Chen Xiu handed the bowl to the child. The child smiled and thanked him, ran a few steps with the bowl, and handed it to the old man sitting on the ground.
Qi Zuiting couldn't help but smile when he looked at it, and then looked at the devastation everywhere, and then sighed, "The victims here have all gone south. I'm afraid that Wu and Xianguo also have disaster victims. ”
Chen Xiu suddenly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Qi Zuiting said, "I'm not a disaster victim either!" Thinking about it and laughing, "Go back to Weiguo first, and go to Gongzi to see what he says." ”
As soon as the words fell, one person smiled, "No need to go back!" "Qi Zuiting sat high, turned his head and saw that the people who came were 'don't ask' and Zhang Ba.
Qi Zuiting said happily, "How did you find it?" ”
"Knowing that you can't die, and you have nowhere to go, why don't you find here?" Don't ask and laugh.
Zhang Ba laughed, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I was worried that the two of you died in the water yesterday." ”
As he spoke, he entered the 'house'.
"What did you mean when you said you didn't have to go back?" Chen Xiu asked.
"Childe said, let us stay here and help the disaster. Grain arrived in the past two days. ”
"Really?!" Qi Zuiting was overjoyed, jumped off the stake, looked at the bowl in his hand, and put it aside, "Finally, I don't have to drink this thing!" ”
Don't ask and laugh.
