Chapter 356: Missing (Part II)
The coming day is long, what Shen Mei is unwilling to say, he will know sooner or later, but the artifact on Shen Mei's body that is more noble than the Book of Heaven, Yun Pei is a little puzzled, where did Shen Mei get it from.
However, several successive heavy rains brought devastating disasters to the fishing village.
The fishing village is located at the junction of the two river veins of Wuguo, and there are often floods, and few people sent by the imperial court in recent years are really doing things for the people.
Yun Pei has seen too much, and in order to fill their own pockets, these important ministers of the court are simply unwilling to take out the disaster relief silver issued by the court and implement it to every household.
This year is strange, this season would not have been flooded, but there were several heavy rains in a row, for a time the water level in the river soared, the entire embankment has been washed away by the flood, several villages upstream have begun to panic, Yun Pei knew the flood in advance, and had already taken the people of his village to evacuate the original place of residence and move to a higher place.
At this juncture, Shen Mei had no mind to fight wits and courage with Yun Pei, helping to evacuate the crowd in the village, the old, weak, sick and disabled people needed the help of young people, Shen Mei did not wait for Yun Pei to give him instructions, she had already added to it.
The eldest lady has been taken by Shen Mei to the place where everyone is stationed on the mountain pass, so Shen Mei can put her mind on helping others. Driven by Shen Mei, and Liu Er also helped to help the old people in the village on the mountain, and also helped to bring up the children of several women's families.
Yun Pei instructed the middle-aged men in the village to quickly move out the grain from each family and put it in the granary that had been repaired in the cave before, in order to help alleviate the shortage of food in case of emergency.
He also asked Li Dahai to take the lead in pulling the villagers' fishing boats to the high ground to park them, waiting for everyone not to lose their source of livelihood after this flood, after all, the people in this fishing village all rely on fishing boats for a living, and without this person, there is no guarantee of life.
Yun Pei spent the shortest time to arrange things in the village in an orderly manner, and controlled everyone's property losses to a minimum.
Take people to the col, the evening wind gusts, as expected, after this heavy rain, the whole fishing village is submerged in the rising river, the people on the col, seeing that their home is gone, a sad exclamation, and then have to thank Yun Pei, if it were not for Yun Pei's strong command, now these people are only afraid that they are already more auspicious.
"Thank you Yunpei, it's the auspicious star in our village." An old man was about to bow to Yun Pei in thanks, but Yun Pei bent down with a brisk step and helped the old man up.
"Uncle, this is what I should do." The man's concise and powerful answer was comforting and felt a sense of trust.
Shen Mei stood not far from him, and when she looked at this scene, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, as if there was a place where this person was, everyone's trust in him was natural, no wonder she felt that this person could bring people an inexplicable sense of comfort, but now she understands. The corners of his mouth raised a shallow smile, heart-to-heart, and sincerity, so he would not lose people's hearts.
This heavy rain has been falling without stopping, and the water potential of the river has neither grown nor receded, and Yun Pei has stayed up all night these days, thinking that he has to find some way to discharge the flood.
Yun Pei asked people to pass on the book and bring it to the capital, and after learning of this in the capital, the emperor sent a young general to come to the disaster relief.
Shen Mei learned about this from Liu Er and a few young daughters-in-law, and she had always learned such things from the mouths of these women.
Shen Mei took off her robe, patted the water beads on her body, and entered the canopy. Liu Er was chatting with the others.
However, Shen Mei's movement attracted Liu Er's attention, and the woman beckoned to her enthusiastically, "Sister Mei'er, come here." ”
Shen Mei followed and walked to a few people, squatting on top of the dry wood, "Sister, you don't know, it is said that a young general was sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief. ”
Seeing that these young women said seriously and eagerly, Shen Mei responded with a smile, in fact, she didn't have much interest in caring about who it was, plus seeing Yun Pei working day and night in the past few days, she was busy without stopping, Shen Mei was a little worried, this flood discharge was not trivial, the river did not subside, if she didn't take any other way, I was afraid that even this mountain col would not be able to be saved, and then the whole fishing village should go where to go.
"Sister, that young general is a brave general who has just returned from the border pass. You say that such people come to our fishing village, which is really overkill. One of the girls, who looked younger, said.
However, these words were a little unhappy in Shen Mei's ears, thinking that human life is a matter of heaven, even if the emperor comes to this place in person, it should be the pride of the sky, and the pride of the sky should be for the country and the people, now that such a natural disaster has occurred in the fishing village, what if the imperial court sent a young general over, what is needed here is a person like Yun Pei who has worked hard for everyone's comfort.
Shen Mei looked at a few people with light eyes, didn't say anything, and was about to get up, Liu Er is a clever woman, looked at Shen Mei, and signaled everyone to stop talking about this matter.
"Sister, are you tired?" Liu Er saw that Shen Mei had not rested well in the past few days, and Shen Mei followed what Yun Pei ordered, and she didn't look weak at all, Liu Er felt that Shen Mei had a manly spirit in her bones.
Shen Mei took advantage of the situation and nodded, "Yes, I'll go over and see the eldest lady, you are busy." After speaking, he picked up a dilapidated oil-paper umbrella with a broken umbrella bone standing next to the canopy, covering the rain and melting into the rain mist.
The fine droplets of water fell on it, and when they splashed, they made a series of mellow sounds, which were not pleasant to Shen Mei's ears at this time, but she was just thinking about when the rain would stop.
"Brother Yun." As soon as he came back from his thoughts, he met Yun Pei's eyes and saw Yun Pei standing alone at the mouth of the cave, looking at her with deep eyes, just standing without saying a word. is like an elegant son, wearing a plain white and simple linen jacket on him, with his own charm, plus a bit of calm luxury.
A few steps away, Shen Mei could also see Yun Pei's tired face, a pair of determined eyes with a light shade of color, hair a little messy, but the whole person was the same as usual, this person was like this at all times, it looked comforting and reassuring.
"Why are you here?" Yun Pei saw Shen Mei standing in the rain and asked her.
After hearing this, Shen Mei smiled knowingly, and raised her voice to the person opposite, "I'll come to see you." ”
