Chapter 514: Fighting Side by Side
Si Huazhen's senses were extremely keen, and he naturally noticed the gaze from Si Helin, as usual, Si Huazhen chose to ignore it again, and there was a little more solemnity between his handsome eyebrows.
Now we were getting closer to the flooded land, and the sky was getting gloomy, and heavy dark clouds were pressing down on the overhead, as if they were pressing on the hearts of men.
"Ah Zhen, are you worried about the flood control?" The tip of Bai Weiying's nose sniffed at the dampness in the air and asked out loud.
"Well, this flood can be described as menacing, and the excerpt has been suppressed by Si Yuanqiong for at least three or four days, but I am afraid that the place in the south of the Yangtze River has already been full of complaints, and the people's dissatisfaction with the court seems to have reached its peak, and it is not easy to govern it." Si Huazhen's eyes were deep, making it impossible to tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment.
"That's it, it's okay, I'll fight side by side with you, and I know a little bit about hydrology and geography, and if I can't help much, I'll be in the rear to appease the people, and I won't hold you back." Bai Weiying lightly covered the back of Si Huazhen's hand and said softly.
When Si Huazhen heard Bai Weiying say this, a touch of surprise crossed his eyes, "You're not...... Do you want to find out the whereabouts of that man first? If you and I are delayed in one place, I am afraid that the person will leave later, and if you try to find it again, I am afraid it will be much more difficult. ”
Bai Weiying shook his head indifferently, since this person is still alive in the world, there must be clues to be found, and now that the flood is current, Bai Weiying naturally takes care of the vital interests of the people first, as for the so-called personal grievances, he will put it aside first, wait until the matter at the end is dealt with, and then put his energy on finding people.
"I believe in your ability, you should also believe in my ability, I am not a silk flower born with you, I want to be the one who can stand side by side with you and overcome obstacles together, so we don't need to say anything drag between us, husband and wife are one, before you asked me the truth about my mother's death, this time, it's time for me to help you." Bai Weiying's words were loud, and every word fell deeply into Si Huazhen's heart.
Si Huazhen's heart swelled with an indescribable warmth, his throat tightened, and he paused for a long time before he solemnly said the word "good".
After resting for a while, the team set off again, this time the speed of travel was much faster than before, the thunder struck, the heavy rain poured, and when it came to the capital of Huacheng, which was the most seriously troubled, it was difficult for even horses to enter, and in desperation, Si Huazhen and his party could only wade through the knee-high flood, and moved forward with difficulty.
At the gate of the city, a thin man in an official uniform was looking at the movement ahead, and when he saw Si Huazhen and the others who were gradually approaching, the man stepped forward and raised his voice and asked, "Is it King Jingping and the second prince?" ”
"Exactly!" Because of the sound of rain, Si Huazhen's voice couldn't help but increase a lot, "Presumably you are Xiang Rin, Xiang Governor, right?" ”
As Si Huazhen spoke, his scrutinizing gaze had already roughly glanced at the person standing in front of him, and nodded to Rin, and the rain gradually blurred his vision, "Weichen Xiang Rin, see King Jingping, it is the rainstorm season, and I am bothering you to go to the mansion with Weichen to live temporarily." ”
Si Huazhen nodded, followed behind Xiang Rin, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Bai Weiying only knew some simple fist and foot kung fu, but now it was a little difficult to move forward in this flood.
Fortunately, Si Huazhen and Xiao Jing supported Bai Weiying left and right, so that they could maintain the balance of Bai Weiying's body.
When they arrived at the prefect's mansion, the flood was accumulating under the hall, but fortunately the house was still clean, and Xiang Rin ushered everyone into the main hall, and then the maid brought the ginger tea to ward off the cold.
Bai Weiying took a small sip of the ginger tea in the bowl, and secretly said to Rin that he was really as careful as dust, and he could even imagine this layer.
As early as when Si Huazhen and Xiang Rin met at the gate of the city, Bai Weiying glanced at Xiang Rin quietly, and at that time, he only felt that Xiang Rin was righteous and awe-inspiring, which was very compatible with his name.
Now into this clear water yamen-like mansion, it is more of a good impression of Xiang Rin, although the furniture in this hall is not precious, but it is better than the simple and interesting, as soon as you enter this hall, you feel very comfortable.
"Xiang Governor, what is the situation outside the city now? You come to this king one by one. Si Huazhen drank the ginger tea and asked with a serious expression.
Xiang Rin did not doubt him, and reported to Si Hua Zhenyu in 1510: "Back to the prince's words, now the embankment outside the city has been washed away, and it is the rainy season, if you want to recast the embankment, I am afraid that it will be more difficult, and Weichen has also tried to divert the flood, but it is still to no avail." ”
Si Huazhen listened, frowned and fell into contemplation, it is not easy to change the route, plus the current flooding, it is a difficult task, but if left unchecked, the water level of the flood will only continue to rise, and then this birch city will really be submerged.
After Bai Weiying drank the ginger tea, there was warmth in her lower abdomen, which made her feel more comfortable, and when she thought of the problems faced by the Huacheng flood, Bai Weiying seemed to think of something, and said tentatively: "I have seen a method of the ancients to deal with this flood in a special book of water injection, and now I think about it, or it can solve this urgent need, I don't know if the prefect can prepare pen and ink rice paper for me, this method is not reasonable in words alone." ”
Bai Weiying also has a little bit of the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and although that method has a long history, few descendants follow suit, but the current situation is that there is no room for hesitation, and the left and right are just the difference between working and not working, even if the result is worse, it is definitely not as bad as the current situation.
"Okay, I'll prepare for the girl." Xiang Rin did not despise Bai Weiying because she was an inconspicuous weak woman, but solemnly presented Bai Weiying with what she needed.
Bai Weiying picked up the pen, took a deep breath, and concentrated all her energy on the rice paper under the pen, everyone's eyes were attracted by Bai Weiying, and around her, there was just a circle of people.
When Bai Weiying first put down the pen, Xiang Lin's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little disappointed, but when the prototype gradually took shape and appeared in front of people, the surprise and joy in Xiang Rin's eyes almost turned into substance.
Bai Weiying also adopted the method of changing the river channel, but she turned her pen to a different way, and designed the intersection of the embankment and the bank into a loop-like structure.
