Gu Yu lowered the curtain and squatted down to take off Xiao Yu's soaked shoes and socks.

Bai Lu took a stack of dry clothes and said, "This is the clothes prepared by Miss Xiao, let's change them quickly, don't suffer the cold." ”

Xiao Yu took a closer look, it was a set of women's clothes, small clothes and middle clothes, etc., plain white embroidered blue and white collared blouse, royal blue brocade skirt with the same color tie. She compared her clothes to her body and coughed softly.

"You turn around first."

Gu Yu and Bai Lu, who were about to wait for Xiao Yu to change clothes, were stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Then please move the girl a few steps here, there is a gauze curtain between them." ”

Xiao Yu changed his clothes and tidied them up, and opened the curtain and came out: "Okay." ”

Several people were dazzled and praised.

"It's so pretty!"

"Girls should wear more women's clothes to ......"

Gu Yu quickly put away the clothes that Xiao Yu had changed, Bai Lu took a wide handkerchief and wrung Xiao Yu's long hair, and praised: "The girl's hair is so good, it's a pity not to comb a beautiful bun." ”

Xiao Yu secretly sighed that the maid served thoughtfully and properly, Ling Yi was really blessed; While laughing: "This is the benefit of being a man often, every time you change back to women's clothes, you can get praise, why not?" ”

Gu Yu suddenly said: "I see. ”

Immediately, several people laughed.

Gu Yu poured out a bowl of ginger soup from a small porcelain pot and served Xiao Yu to drink. When her hair was dry, Bai Lu put her in a bun, tied a hairband embroidered with begonias, looked at it for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's just that there is no mirror in the carriage, otherwise the girl can also look at it." ”

"How is this carriage different from the previous ones? Is it Miss Ling's car? Xiao Yu then remembered to ask.

Gu Yu said with a smile: "My girl went to Taishou for a banquet, this is the general's carriage." ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but be surprised and thoughtful. After returning home, she went to thank Ling Yi and told him about the flash flood.

Ling Yitou saw Xiao Yu wearing women's clothes, and looked at it a few more times quietly, secretly appreciating it. Its posture is slim and beautiful; Maybe it's because of the sunburn in the countryside, and the complexion is a little darker; The best thing is that pair of eyes, pure and translucent, looking forward to shine.

Due to the rain on horseback, Xiao Yu was a little tired, and hurriedly went back to rest. The next day, he still changed back into a navy blue robe with arrow sleeves, and went back to Niujiao Village with Xiao Pei to see the situation after the flash flood.

From a distance, I saw that the former verdant mountains and fields in front of me had turned into a long period of loess and mud, and my eyes were full of devastation, and I couldn't see the original appearance at all.

The oncoming mountain collapsed a corner, exposing large swaths of rocky earth; The mud and rocks on the hill where the village is located were swept away by the flood, and the unaffected houses on the roof also collapsed and slid down, leaving ruins and broken walls everywhere, as well as uncovered silt and sand.

The flood of Niujiao Mountain was washed away within a hundred feet, leaving only sand and gravel on the ground, and bare mud walls and rocks on both sides, as well as large broken trees.

The Pitang at the foot of the mountain was completely washed away, and the turbid waves of the Yangmei River not far away were surging and swept away.

When they got closer, the two of them could clearly see the surface of the river that had not completely receded. Traces of the flood on both banks downstream were littered with debris: broken beams, wooden planks, tree trunks with branches and leaves, damaged tables and chairs, carcasses of livestock, clothing...... or lying flat on the sand, or half-sunk in the mud.

There were officers and soldiers cleaning up the exposed mud and rocks in Niujiao Mountain, and many people searched for the bodies of those who died in the flood by the river beach, and carried them away for burial.

Xiao Pei couldn't bear to look away, and Xiao Yu also looked away.

The carriage finally came to the edge of the shocking large expanse of mud and sand after the flash flood, and the two of them could not even find their original location, nor did they get out of the car.

There were also many villagers who came to check, most of them had sad faces and gloomy expressions, and some were crying on the side. The fields are gone, the houses are gone, and the hands are empty, what can they do to make a living? There are even a few people who have no relatives, beating their chests and shouting for the sky and the ground, while scolding them for not believing that the government did not leave in time.

Next to it, there was a long queue of people in front of the porridge shed for disaster relief set up in the General's Mansion, many of whom were familiar faces.

Xiao Pei and Xiao Yu watched silently for a moment, and were about to return to the city, when Uncle Zhou Qi and Huzi also came.

Uncle Zhou Qi also sighed, his face sad. Although his family has rented a house in the city, it is not a long-term solution after all. Looking at the situation in front of you, let alone buying a new house and then buying a field, this is not even half of the hillside where the village is located, do you have to leave your hometown?

"It's better to go back to the village, after all, the roots of our ancestors are here. It's all like this, where is there still a place to stay? Uncle Zhou Qi sighed, "It's difficult." In the event of such a natural disaster, it is good luck to survive. I don't know how to do anything else, so I can only farm. Let's wait to see how the government will settle it. ”

The group talked a few words and left together.

On the way, I saw many villagers who had been displaced after the floods in the vicinity, and when they couldn't find a place to stay, they just sat by the roadside, or took the old and the young to the city.

The number of displaced people in the city also increased, and the officers and soldiers stepped up the inventory of entering and leaving the city gates, so as to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, Xiao Yu heard that the government had opened a warehouse to release grain to help the victims, and reported the details to the imperial court.

It soon became known that the nearby counties had also been affected in the past few days. Those places mentioned in Zhong Lang's prediction did not dare to slack off after learning about the incident in Qinghe County, Yongan County, and hurriedly dismissed the nearby villagers, and the consequences were all flash floods, although there was no such momentum as Niujiao Mountain, and many granges were damaged, but fortunately, there were not many casualties.

Recently, the threshold of the General's Mansion was almost broken, and a certain capable person in the mansion who was good at calculation was famous, although Zhong Lang lived in a deep place, Ling Yi also said that he had spent a lot of effort because of the deduction of the heavenly machine, and was in retreat to recuperate, and there were still many people who borrowed various names to visit.

Ling Weihan praised: "Second Miss Xiao is really prescient. ”

Soon the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, and the Holy Lord also had the will to reward him. Zhong Lang had the skill of prediction, and was promoted from General Ningyuan of the fifth grade to General Xuanwei of the fourth grade, and was rewarded with two hundred taels of gold; Ling Yi came out of this good general, commanded the army in a good way, and because of the previous production of the divine object clairvoyant mirror, from the third grade of the Guide general to the third grade of the Huaihua general, the title of Zhennan unchanged, another five hundred taels of gold.

Ling Yi was hot for a while.

Such a young talent and his appearance are extraordinary, he has long been a spring boudoir dream person who is the daughter of a famous family in the land, and he knows that his wife's room is still vacant, and people who are interested in marrying have come to the door. However, there has been no movement from him so far.

The new general of Zhennan Huaihua used all the five hundred taels of gold rewarded by the heavenly family for disaster relief, and received numerous praises. Officials and wealthy households in the city followed suit, setting up cauldrons in flood-stricken counties and townships, setting up long tables for soup porridge, and building huts to shelter villagers, so that the displaced people could have a good stomach.

However, Xiao Yucheng warned Xiao Yu at this time: "It's better for you and Sister A not to go out these days." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Recently, there have been a lot of displaced people, and many bandits and gangsters have taken the opportunity to do evil, abducting and selling people, stealing and robbing, and maybe there are still remnants of drugs, so it is better to be careful."

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.
