Chapter 248: The Flood Is Coming
It may be that Valing's expectant eyes made Sha Yi really can't bear to refuse, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, if the typhoon is coming in a while, you have to hug the pillar next to you tightly, so as not to be blown into the West Lake." ”
"Don't worry, I will, I'll definitely take care of myself." Valing felt that she hadn't lived enough, and besides, she also felt that her water was better, and even if she was scraped into the lake, she believed that she would definitely be able to save herself.
The rain is getting heavier, the sky is getting darker, and the typhoon is blowing more and more violently, with a whirring sound, which makes people feel so terrible.
Looking at the dim sky, Waring said in surprise: "Is this a typhoon?" The sky is so dark! ”
"Yes, that's the precursor to a typhoon. You must know that every time a typhoon makes landfall, the sky will be dark, and people will not be able to see anything clearly. You must hold on to the pillar for a while, and don't let the typhoon blow away. Sha Yi said to Valing very worriedly, he didn't want Wa Lingxiang to lose his jade in front of him.
"Sha Yi, don't worry, I will." In order to save his life, Valing was very obedient and hugged the pillar next to him tightly and did not let go.
Looking at the increasingly violent typhoon, Waling did not feel scared, but happy. She likes to try anything that is extreme, including everything that is man-made and natural.
When the whirring wind blew on Valing, she felt so shocked and excited, which she had never felt when she was in the capital.
"This typhoon is so fierce, it's so cold on my body. And the rain is so heavy, it seems to be the body, and it hurts very much. Waring watched Sha Yi also hug a pillar, so he shouted to him.
"It's bad, it's bad, why is it hailing? You must know that this hail hits the body, but it hurts very much, and it can even kill people. Sha Yi looked at Wa Ling's weak body coiled on the pillar, and said worriedly.
"Wow, is this hail? It's huge. It's the first time I've seen hail, and I didn't expect it to be the size of an egg. It's really hard, it hurts to hit your body. Valing screamed excitedly, this was the first time she had felt the power of hail and typhoons, and she really felt that it was so exciting.
"Su Fan, you hold the pillar and don't let go, you must know that if you let go, the typhoon will definitely blow you away. And this hail hits your body, you can only hold on to it now, just keep your head down and don't let the hail break your head. Sha Yi looked at Valing's enjoyment and couldn't help but remind nervously.
"Sha Yi, that's what you said, this hailstone is really big, have you seen it before?" Valing looked at Sha Yi and asked.
"It's the first time I've seen such a big hailstorm, and I'm really surprised, and I guess the people will be hurt a lot this year." Sha Yi was not worried about himself at this time, but thought about the people.
"Sha Yi, you know what? In fact, you are very concerned about the country's social welfare, and you are worried about the country and the people, and I think that if you are an official in the court, you will definitely benefit the people. Valing looked at Sha Yi and said sincerely.
"Su Fan, although I am the Marquis of Dingbei now, I hardly go to court. The reason is that the emperor does not want me to participate in any management affairs of the imperial court. Thinking that I have empty ambitions, but nowhere to serve the country, I really feel so sorry in my heart, this life is really wasted. Sha Yi said to Valing with emotion.
"Why don't you tell the current emperor what you think? You must know that you are so patriotic, I believe that if you were an official in the court, you would definitely be a good official. Valing looked at Sha Yi and said sincerely.
"The emperor was afraid that I would be in a high position and power, so he deliberately did not reuse me. You must know that since the beginning of my Amma generation, we Dingbei Hou don't have to do anything, just wait to sit and eat and have fun. Outsiders think that I have lived a very happy life in this life, but I am different, I always feel that I can not do anything practical for the people in vain, which is really regrettable. Sha Yihai told Valing what he had thought in his heart for a long time, which he rarely told others, and only Su Fan said it.
"Alas, Sha Yi has really wronged you, I think the emperor has too many concerns, a capable young talent like you, he should be reused, let you not use it, is it simply a waste of national talents? If you look at the current imperial court, they are all mediocre talents, and sometimes they are quite angry when they think about it, thinking that they are empty of the country, but they can't do practical things for the people, which is really undeserved. Wa Ling said indignantly, when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, she often heard Prime Minister Wa come back and complain that there was no available talent in the court. So she still knows a little bit about things in the court.
"Su Fan, if it were you, would you choose to be willing to serve the country?" Sha Yi looked at Valing and asked.
"Of course, as the subjects of the Qing Dynasty, everyone has the duty to be loyal to the country. Since you have this idea, you should say it, and you should not let the emperor let you go and not reuse you. I think you should first let the emperor believe in you, and then let the emperor reuse you. You see, if you don't use so much of your talent, wouldn't it be too wasteful? Valing looked at Sha Yi and even said regretfully.
"Su Fan, I'll tell you a shameless word, boast about it, I also think that's the case, why do you think I'm reading all the books in the world, isn't it just to learn and be useful!" Sha Yi looked at the sky and said very self-deprecatingly.
"Sha Yi, you're right, there are a few champions in the world, you said that you, as the champion, don't think about the people, what hope do the people have." Valing said to Sha Yi with a heartfelt heart.
"Su Fan, whenever I see the flood disaster of the Jiangnan generation, I really see it in my eyes and am anxious in my heart. I hope that I can hold the power in my hands and use the power in my hands to organize the people and the court to resist this natural disaster. I'm sure I can. Sha Yi looked at Valing and said what he thought without hesitation.
"Sha Yi, I believe there will be such a day." Waling hugged the pillar and said that after she returned to the capital, she must persuade the emperor to send Sha Yi to Jiangnan to control the flood.
"Su Fan, when the flood came, I felt very anxious when I saw that the imperial court always couldn't come up with suitable measures to implement it. There are also those officials, sometimes they obviously get the money allocated by the court, but they embezzle it privately, and they don't think about the welfare of the people at all, I am so angry. "Every time Sha Yi came to Jiangnan to see the suffering of the people, and when the people complained that the court didn't care, he felt so angry. I thought that if I became an official one day, I would definitely not do this, and I would definitely let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
"Sha Yi, you know what? It's because of your identity as the Marquis of Dingbei that all your talents are restricted. You're right, you see that you have such good ambitions to govern the country, it would be a shame if you didn't take advantage of it. I think you should take the initiative to become an official in the court, if that is the case, it will definitely benefit many people, and the emperor and the people will definitely be grateful. Valing comforted Sha Yi very softly, hoping that he would not be discouraged, and that everything still had a chance.
"Su Fan, in fact, I often use the time I travel to Jiangnan to help the people do a lot of things, but after all, I have no power in my hands, and I can do too little for them, it's really a pity." Sha Yi said very sadly, every time he saw the scene of people crying, he always felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that all this was really undeserved. Some things should not have happened so seriously, but it was because the court officials on the spot looked like they didn't care about themselves that they would make the people suffer so much.
"Sha Yi, the wind is really getting stronger, I feel like I can't hold the pillar anymore, what about you?" Waling hugged the pillar and said to Sha Yi very worried and nervous.
"I'm okay, you know, after all, I've been to Jiangnan many times, and I've experienced several disasters like this. Even if you exert your strength to feed now, you must hold on to the pillar tightly. But don't be scraped into the West Lake, if you do, it will be difficult to be rescued. Sha Yi looked at the gray sky, and the appearance of Valing being blown away by the wind at any time, and said worriedly.
At this moment, Sha Yi regretted agreeing to Valing here to watch the typhoon coming, if Valing had three long and two short, it was estimated that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Sha Yi, it's okay, I can swim, I'm very good at water." Valing looked at Sha Yi as if he was about to cry, and hurriedly boasted to him.
"Su Fan, let me tell you, no matter how good the water is, if the flood breaks out later, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to deal with it." Sha Yi was lying on the pillar, worried that the flood would erupt.
Seeing that half of the tall trees by the lake were submerged in the water, Sha Yi was so frightened that he couldn't speak, he knew that the flood was coming.
"Sha Yi, why do you see so much water being unloaded upstairs over there?" Waling looked at the water pouring out of the two-story wooden building not far away, and said nervously to Sha Yi.
"The flood has come, and it is estimated that the owner is afraid that the flood will damage the house, so he deliberately unloaded the wooden stakes on the balcony. If he hadn't removed the balcony outside, the flood would have washed away the entire building. Sha Yi had seen the power of the flood, hugged the pillar, and said worriedly.
"Hey, how can there be pigs up there? There are pigs floating on it. Suddenly he saw a large pig floating above the flood and couldn't help but scream loudly.
"Su Fan, the flood is coming, you must hold on to the pillar and stop yelling. Don't let the flood wash you away, because if the flood washes you away, I don't think I'll be able to save you. Sha Yi said with a sad face and a very worried face.
"Don't worry, no, you have to believe me." Valing looked at Sha Yi's nervous appearance and comforted him with a smile.
As soon as Waring's words fell, a lightning bolt struck, and he saw Waring holding the pillar and falling down with a snap, which made Sha Yi, who was holding on the other pillar, very frightened, and shouted loudly: "Su Fan, don't be afraid, but hold the wooden stick and don't let yourself sink." ”
