Chapter 248: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Here, the third wife hasn't cried enough, and over there, Lan Xun got the news and also looked for it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The third wife looked at her son, who was fine when she went out a few days ago, but now he was also covered in mud and embarrassment, and then thought that this kid actually jumped into the water to be the human dam regardless of his life, is this worth it? The third wife hugged her son, rubbed her liver and flesh, and her tears fell desperately as if she didn't want money.
Seeing this scene, Lan Xi only felt a little funny, her mother's tears today are afraid that they have to be held in a bucket. It's just that the heart is warm, the natural disaster is ruthless, and the rest of their lives after the catastrophe seem to be much closer to each other.
Over there, Ping'an had already worked with a few stewards to distribute the steamed buns, flatbreads and other foods to everyone, Lanxi looked around, but he didn't see the person he was looking for, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"The fourth brother is at that break, although it is temporarily blocked, but the fourth brother is not at ease." Lan Xun didn't know when, calmed the third wife, and quietly came to Lan Xi, and when he saw her eyes wandering around, he said like this.
Lan Xi glared at him, "You are bold, just jump into the water in a daze, if there is a good one, you want your mother's life!" ā
To Lan Xi's surprise, Lan Xun didn't reply this time, but scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and grinned, "I didn't think about it that much at the time." ā
Lan Xi was slightly stunned, the sixth brother who didn't grow up in his own house seemed to have changed a little, but as for where it changed, Lan Xi couldn't tell for a while.
The rain is still falling, but compared to last night's heavy rain, it is already gentler. Geng Xiwu stared intently at the still roaring river in the embankment, and muttered, if this rain stops, it will be good, if it goes down again, they will block the breach this time, but the next time, it is difficult to say.
While pondering, a small soldier came to let him go over to eat, he was secretly thinking, afraid that someone from the yamen would send food, while explaining that the little soldier would go first, he would guard first, wait for a while when they finished eating, and then let a few safe people replace him, this embankment, after all, is not reliable, and people have to watch it at any time, if there is anything bad, it is good to deal with it in time.
The soldier answered, and ran away quickly. Geng Xiwu breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, raised his eyes, and at that moment, they lit up.
In the dirty mud all over the ground, a girl was walking, dressed in an ordinary green dress, the skirt and shoes were covered with yellow mud, she held an umbrella in one hand, and her skirt in the other, frowning and looking at the slippery and muddy ground under her feet, walking very carefully.
Geng Xiwu didn't know why, and suddenly remembered that after she grew up, the night they met for the first time, it was also raining such fine silk, and in the dark night, under the paper umbrella, she seemed to be there, waiting for him at that moment, smiling and calling him, senior brother.
Because of recalling the past, Geng Xiwu's eyes quietly softened, he had seen her dressed up, but today's appearance seems to be the most ordinary and embarrassing appearance in her impression, but for some reason, Geng Xiwu feels that today's Lanxi is so good to see in his heart.
And Lan Xi finally walked up to him, staring at him with a pair of phoenix eyes. "Senior brother is standing there, this road is so difficult to walk, I almost fell, you just watched, and you didn't come to help me."
Geng Xiwu came back to his senses, looked down, and saw that the girl was slightly puffing out her cheeks, her eyes were round, her eyes were shining, and she was very spirited, and he seemed to have a brush scratching and scratching in his heart, itchy, but also warm, and couldn't help but squint, "It's my fault." The voice was deep and pleasant, as if it had a demagogic charm.
Lan Xi didn't know why, and he was a little uncomfortable. Turning his eyes away, he coughed lightly, then turned around again, looked Geng Xiwu up and down, and asked, "You're not hurt, are you?" ā
Geng Xiwu didn't wear armor, he only had a soft armor on his body, and below it was a robe with arrow sleeves, but at this time, he thought that it was for his dexterity, so he rolled up the hem of the robe and stuffed it around his waist, as for the color, he couldn't see it for a long time, but after a rough look, he saw that his expression was acceptable, and he didn't see much fatigue, and he didn't seem to be injured, but Lan Xi still asked again uneasily.
Geng Xiwu's gaze was bottomless, but he shook his head slightly.
As soon as the tight strings on Lan Xi's heart loosened, he quietly exhaled, "Are you hungry?" Thirsty? I'm tired for a day and a night, if only I could rest for a while. ā
Geng Xiwu tugged at the corners of his lips and said, "It's not in the way." Once upon a time when I was in the northwest, I was once besieged in a valley by the Beidi army, for three days and three nights, without food or drink, I was still subjected to it, and finally I could still have the strength and spirit to give the enemy a head-on blow, so I was not in the way. ā
Geng Xiwu seemed to want to widen Lanxi's heart, but Lanxi didn't know why, when he heard this, he couldn't feel at ease. "Anyway, you have to take care of yourself. Eat and drink, and if possible, close your eyes and rest for a while. ā
Knowing that she cared about him, Geng Xiwu didn't have any more ironing in his heart, so he naturally nodded and agreed, "Well, I can save it." It's just that I can't leave people here now, and when they come to change the guard, I'll go eat something and rest for a while. ā
Lan Xi raised his eyes and looked at the sky, his brows furrowed slightly, "I don't know when this rain will be, here...... In short, senior brother is careful in everything. ā
"Hmm." Geng Xiwu nodded, his eyes dark as paint, staring at her, deep and focused.
Perhaps, it was everyone's sincerity that moved the heavens. After that day, the rain was light, and there was a few days in between, although later, there were a few more rains, and the embankment almost broke again, but because of the timely response, both the soldiers and the people had experience, and there was a tacit understanding between each other, and there was no major chaos.
The third master, Geng Xiwu and Lan Xun are just a few days old enough to come back to wash up and change their clothes. Although Huzhou City is unharmed, several counties in Huzhou have been affected to varying degrees, which involves a lot of things, so the third master is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, and he can't wait to give birth to two more hands.
And Geng Xiwu and Lan Xun, as well as those government soldiers and generals, are not easy every day, not only to inspect the embankment, but also to help resettle the victims, but also busy and lacking skills.
In the blink of an eye, it was late June. The rain finally stopped, and on this day, the sun that had not been seen for a long time broke through the clouds, and the rain passed and the sky was clear. (To be continued.) )
