358. The Disaster of Floods
Lin Chaoge paused and said: "The city along the river is flooded, and there are storms in the city, and the fish on duty take the opportunity to fan the flames, causing some people who are already worried about turtles and fish to want to migrate. There was too much rain and a lot of good harvests. His expression was solemn and worried.
Xiao Yuzi nodded silently after hearing this: "Do you know the situation in other states and counties along the river?" ”
Lin Chaoge responded one by one, talked for a while, and only reacted when he saw that he was tired, and hurriedly told Xiao Yuzi, who was pale, to lie down and sleep quickly.
This tent is simple, fortunately, it is almost the same as the layout in the tent of Xiao Yuzi's previous march, lying down in his clothes, and falling asleep after a while, Lin Chaoge looked at it for a while, carefully twisted the quilt for him, stared at his sleeping face that had grown a little cyan stubble all the way for a long time, and then reluctantly went out to patrol the embankment.
When Xiao Yuzi woke up, it was already night, and the rain outside was still dripping and dripping, which was annoying, as if she wanted to make up for the rain that hadn't rained enough this year. Maybe even the amount of the coming year will be filled up in the autumn of this year, and there are two large steamed buns that have been cooled in the tent, a pot of water and a plate of pickles with rice on the left, presumably left for her before Lin Chaoge left, but Lin Chaoge himself didn't know where to go.
Xiao Yuzi had no hunger, and now that she was full of sleep, she thought she was full of energy, so she only drank some water at random and lifted the curtain to go out of the tent.
With a straw hat placed in the tent, wearing a dark coat, at a glance, it looks incompatible with the shirtless and straw sandals around him.
Xiao Yuzi walked around the crowd of people in Luoshui Solid Embankment, but did not see Lin Chaoge's figure, only saw the scene of the wife and daughter at home sending hot soup and meals, the Yellow River husbands are working day and night, otherwise if the embankment really breaks, they can't even use their strength.
Xiao Yuzi walked around outside, and saw that the Yellow River Husband who had been recruited by money in those states and counties was digging with his buttocks, facing the mud with his back to the sky and his bare arms, although it was an autumn night, he was wearing straw sandals with free straw shoes on his bare feet, a straw hat on his head, and his shoulders were wrapped around his burden, and he dug up a load of soil, and then he picked up the embankment, or went to the nearest mountain to carry the rocks and branches, and everyone worked together to do it in full swing, and there was no panic at all that the embankment would suddenly burst.
Most of these are just farmers, recruited every year to prevent and treat the floods of the Yellow River, but this year the number of people is extraordinarily large, and sometimes you can even see three generations of grandchildren and grandchildren on the field, after all, one person has a hundred patterns of copper coins a day, and three people are three hundred lines, just three people do seven or eight days is enough to have several months of income from the previous crops, and even after the disaster, the straw sandals and straw hats given by the county government can be taken home and returned to themselves, not to mention that now food and accommodation are in the military tent set up, As long as the work is done diligently and not lazy, when the time comes, when the flood passes, it will inevitably get other rewards, and many people are hot and excited, and they can't wait for their wives and daughters to help.
Lin Chaoge, who was busy and had more or less muddy water on the placket tied up on her trouser legs, noticed that someone was looking at her, and was about to turn around, just when she saw Xiao Yuzi coming out in her own clothes, nodded and continued to be busy with her own affairs, except for him, many Huanghefu couldn't help but look at Lin Chaoge a few times, and she found out and continued to lower her head to work, just a black face and flushed, like a daughter-in-law who got on a sedan chair for the first time.
Lin Chaoge has long known that her appearance is eye-catching, and she was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but she didn't feel anything after a long time, after all, she sometimes behaved more manly than a man, except for a face, few people would associate her with the word woman.
What's more, it is the ability of parents to be born well, and they can't always cover their faces because they are worried about seeing their imaginations, what is the difference between being cocooned and self-bound.
What's more, they have eaten and lived together for a few days, and when the situation is critical, they have even stepped forward to fight the flood, and their feelings are naturally much better, and few people talk about her good-looking woman. On the contrary, the big girl and little daughter-in-law who come to deliver food every day can't help but secretly take a look at her, and when there is something delicious, she will always take a little Lin Chaoge with her, and when she heard that she is unmarried, she can't wait to pounce on herself or stuff her unmarried sister, sister, sister-in-law, and little cousin into her family.
What's more, they heard that this adult has not yet married a wife, and I don't know how many people have become fragrant and sweet in their eyes, and they want people to bite to death.
"Lord Lin, it's getting late, why don't you go back to the news first and come back tomorrow, not to mention that the embankment has been almost repaired now, and the rain may stop after a while." The little guy sent by the county government to serve Lin Chaoge looked at Lin Chaoge, who didn't even play a straw hat and an oil-paper umbrella, was wearing straw shoes, and the hem of his clothes was tucked into his pants, and he almost didn't roll around in the muddy water.
At first, he thought that serving the adults from the capital would make it difficult in every way, but as a result, people were not only easy to talk, but also treated people with courtesy or to their subordinates, and when he knew that he was illiterate, he kindly taught himself to write his own name, so that now he really cares about the body of this adult.
I'm worried that if he continues to survive like this, his body will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Wait a minute, I'm watching." Lin Chaoge took the charcoal to write and draw on the straw paper, he didn't raise his head, his eyebrows were wrinkled, he didn't seem to care that his current image was no different from the old farmer who planted rice in the field, and even the clothes she wore were mainly dirt-resistant dark fabrics.
After all, what do you care about so many details in extraordinary times?
"But." The little guy was still trying to say something, but he saw a black-clothed young man with a scimitar at his waist coming over with an oil-paper umbrella from a distance, waving to him and leaving at will.
Lin Chaoge was just glad that the annoying voice finally stopped, although he knew that people were kind, but he couldn't stand the current situation and didn't allow her to sleep more at all, what if the embankment broke when she was asleep, in the past few days, she slept with her clothes closed, and even slept so shallow that she would wake up when she heard the sound outside, put on a muddy robe and hurriedly ran out.
"It's late at night, your body will not be able to bear it if it goes on like this, and before the disaster is resolved, your body will not be able to bear it and fall down first." A familiar voice came from above his head, as well as a turquoise oil-paper umbrella that shielded him from the rain and a man's robe with a yang garden collar.
In front of the green grassland overhead, it was so green that it was shining.
"I'm waiting, how did you get out." Lin Chaoge knew who it was, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to write and draw in a small notebook.
"Can't I miss you?" The tone of the slight tone rose.
"Don't make a fuss." Lin Chaoge knew that he was joking, knowing how she could sleep at this juncture, she just had no topic to find a topic. Suspicious.
"I don't worry about you, and there is still the matter of Luoshui Embankment." Xiao Yuzi took advantage of the fact that no one was looking at them, secretly lowered her head and kissed her on the cheek, and left quickly.
"You've been in Zhangzhou for a few days, but what have you discovered?" With that, their expressions began to become serious.
Lin Chaoge pondered for a while, and said with a serious expression; "I suspect that some people have embezzled money used for disaster relief and repairing the embankment, and deliberately shoddy it, otherwise if the embankment were repaired, it would not have been in danger of bursting every year due to a light rain."
The two of them walked to the river embankment again, and saw the Yellow River man wearing the same uniform soldier and the straw sandals and straw hat, before he walked in, Lin Chaoge was surrounded by several Yellow River men and soldiers who took the lead and left, leaving Xiao Yuzi alone.
Xiao Yuzi didn't follow, but stood not far away and could vaguely see Lin Chaoge's figure, seeing her surrounded in the middle, talking with people and talking about something, she was about to go to the embankment but was stopped by several people, and her tone was not good.
Xiao Yuzi covered her face, and walked to that end by covering it in the deep night, and when she got closer, she could see that Lin Chaoge's face was ugly, she wanted to go up the embankment, but was admonished by others. It is said that the river is turbulent, as if it is like the night now, and it will swallow everything at any time. Lin Chaoge reprimanded angrily with a blue face: "Could it be that I am in the tent, and when the embankment breaks, I can't wash away?" Will the river flow all over Zhangzhou City and spread to the entire Liangzhou Mansion! The official needs to go up in person to feel at ease, and in case something really happens, we can afford it. "The voice is faintly sharp.
The officials were silent, and even Huang Hefu, who stopped the most fiercely in front, was silent.
During the day, Lin Chaoge couldn't wait to take root on the bank of the Luoshui River, and even at night he had to watch it every one or two hours, and every time their hearts beat wildly, for fear of suddenly overflowing, after all, he had already made a small opening, and dozens of people were killed and injured.
Lin Chaoge is not an ordinary official, he is an official sent from the capital, I heard that there is a regent above, they are really not worried about the current situation Lin Chaoge is still on the embankment, and persuade her to go back to rest, not to mention that they have been in a relationship for a few days, and they are even more worried about her safety.
Lin Chaoge flicked his sleeves and said with an ugly face: "You and I don't stay up for a while, and when the people flood the embankment and burst, I don't know how many people will be displaced by then?" Even if the flood cannot be calmed now, at least he can know the danger in time, so that he can think about countermeasures to build an embankment and protect the homes of the people in the city, just like a blind man who knows nothing now. ”
After that, Lin flicked her sleeves and ignored the obstacles of others to go up the embankment against the wind and rain, and several uneasy people on the embankment accompanied her up, in case there was really danger, they could save this adult who thought about the people as soon as possible.
