Chapter 184: The Hand of the Son
Fortunately, the flood control early warning system is set up quite well, before the flood broke out, some people took fast horses along the road to report, and many people took refuge in time, so the number of casualties was not large.
Secondary disasters are even more terrifying.
Because the current emperor did not promulgate disaster prevention and anti-disaster measures in time, there was a shortage of materials, the water source was polluted, and some epidemics appeared in the disaster area, and many people had different symptoms, such as dysentery, erysipelas, snake bites, food poisoning, and so on.
People are terrified and restless all day long.
---------------------
Inside the Imperial Study.
"Father, a few days ago, there was a drought in the south and the north, and the disaster was serious, did you order the opening of the warehouse to release grain?" The third prince, Zhao Jingxi, asked.
"Father, the most important thing at the moment is to attack the northern country, I think it is better to focus on conscription in the first place, especially to send some mobs to the battlefield, which can also solve a little problem." Zhao Jingming, the second prince, said, "Anyway, those untouchables are like ants, not worth mentioning."
"Brother Huang, how can you say that? Human lives are at stake, and the people are our people," Zhao Jingxi argued.
"The emperor's brother is the emperor's brother, he doesn't have a little foresight, the enemy country is attacking, the country is not guaranteed, and he can take care of those untouchables?"
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the people are the foundation of a country."
"Alright, don't talk about it either of you." Emperor Zhao Lingkun frowned and waved his hand, "It's a headache, you guys should step down." ”
"Please also ask my father to make a decision quickly." Zhao Jingxi saluted.
"Shut up, don't upset your father." Zhao Jingming glared at Zhao Jingxi, then turned his face to Zhao Lingkun and smiled, "Father, you have a good rest, and I will send a beauty to bring you bird's nest porridge in a while." ”
"Well, stand down!" Zhao Lingkun lay on the dragon couch and closed his eyes.
Zhao Jingxi wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Zhao Jingming.
---------------------
Bai Qiuchi, Yang Nanxian, Ning Yue and others rode fast horses and ran to the disaster area in the south first.
Tear Rainbow also learned to ride horses during this time, but she followed closely behind the convoy carrying supplies.
The first task they did when they went there was to organize the uninjured people to build temporary resettlement houses, strengthen the embankment before the next wave of heavy rains, organize anti-virus treatment, dispose of human and animal remains, distribute supplies, and reassure people's people...... There's a lot to do.
Darkbrake first set up a temporary headquarters in a safe place, and due to physical reasons, Yu Tear Rainbow mainly assisted the people stationed here to sort out the supplies.
Many of these materials are accumulated in the dark, or donations from caring people in the society, and they will be delivered in a steady stream every day.
In the past few days, the government has only been grasping the strong men to strengthen the embankment, but the materials that should be available have not been approved for a long time, resulting in many people starving to death. So this time, Bai Qiuchi and they also had to negotiate with the government on behalf of the people in the rivers and lakes, hoping that the government could help the people together.
---------------------
When the villagers saw the arrival of the dark brake, there was a young hero Bai Qiuchi, as if they saw hope, and they immediately cheered, and many people cried with joy.
"Savior, what a savior!"
"Great! We are saved! ”
"I have long heard that there is a Bai Shaoxia who is both civil and military, and now it seems that it is really a 'hero out of a teenager'!"
……
In this way, some villagers who wanted to help were well organized, and things became more orderly.
---------------------
Bai Qiuchi and several brothers from Dark Brake helped the villagers find a safe place to build a temporary resettlement site, while Ning Yue organized the villagers to collect supplies and maintain order.
Because of the limited supplies on the first day, the villagers were organized to line up to register and receive them, but some of the people in the back were worried that they would not receive them, and the queue began to stir.
"Take your time, there's something for everyone, don't crowd." Ning Yue's voice was very penetrating, but it was very gentle, and this was her use of the stunt of "Thousands of Miles of Sound Transmission" to appease the villagers.
When the villagers heard this reassurance, they all began to line up in an orderly manner to receive things, and they would be humble when they saw the elderly, women and children.
Yang Nanxian took a few people to negotiate with the government, but the reply he received was very disappointing.
Ning Yue saw Yang Nanxian coming back from a distance, so she cast an inquiring gaze, but Yang Nanxian shook her head, and Ning Yue knew what he meant.
"The government said that the higher authorities did not approve it, so they did not dare to open the warehouse rashly to release grain, but they will do what they can and will cooperate with us to repair the embankment and prepare for the rain." Yang Nanxian announced to everyone.
Originally, these words that worried the people could not be said, but Yi Jue had explained when he secretly gathered them before, so that the people would be disappointed in the government and support them. However, Yi Jue is also an upright person, so let them explain it truthfully, and they don't need to exaggerate.
"Oh my God, is this giving up on us?"
"How can the government do this?"
"How long can we last like this?"
……
The people began to whisper, they had been suppressed for too long, and no one who resisted survived, so they all dared to be angry.
"Rest assured, everyone!" Yang Nanxian raised his right hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said to everyone in his calm and calm voice, "As long as we 'Tianming Sect' are in one day, we will protect everyone for one day until this disaster passes!" ”
"Tianming" is the opposite of "dark brake", symbolizing that they want to lead everyone to tomorrow, the light full of hope.
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much! The villagers' voices of gratitude came one after another.
Yang Nanxian and Ning Yue glanced at each other, quickly exchanged glances, and nodded.

The autumn breeze is gusting and cool.
At the end of the day's hard work, Bai Qiuchi and Yu Tear Rainbow simply ate something and came to the river for a walk, but they were all in a heavy mood because of this disaster.
"Tear rainbow, this disaster happened, internal and external troubles, every day I received the news made me very sad, how many * ions scattered, but the monarch did nothing." Bai Qiuchi also often talks to Yu Tear about the mission, and sometimes asks her for advice.
"Yes, he treats the lives of the common people as a mustard, and in the face of severe disasters, he not only does not help, but also forcibly conscripts soldiers, and such a tyrant will be overthrown sooner or later." Speaking of this, Yu Tear Hong looked at Bai Qiuchi with some concern and asked, "Qiuchi, are you going to ......?"
"No, I don't." Bai Qiuchi knew that Yu Tear Rainbow meant overthrowing the tyranny and returning to power, so he denied it, "I heard Lord Su Can say that everyone in the government and the opposition is in danger today, and the officials dare not make any suggestions. Because the 'old fox' was arrogant and did not establish a prince for a long time, several princes around him were secretly vying for power, some of them tried to curry favor with him and make a profit, and some of them looked on coldly and wanted to reap the profits of the fisherman. Among them, there is only one person who 'comes out of the mud without staining', and that is the third prince Zhao Jingxi. ”
"I have also heard of this person, he is quite talented among the princes, and the 'old fox' also likes him a lot, but he advocates the implementation of benevolent government, which makes the 'old fox' very difficult." Since he knew that the current emperor was Bai Qiuchi's father-killing enemy, Yu Tear Rainbow called him that together with the people of the dark brake.
"Although I have ambitions, I just want to keep the people from suffering so much, if the third prince really has the strength to be an emperor and is supported by others, I am willing to help him." Bai Qiuchi held Yu Tearhong's hand and said, "After so many lives and deaths, I have figured it out, cherishing the talent in front of me is the most important thing." ”
"Autumn Pond ......" Yu Tear Hong looked up at Bai Qiuchi, who had tanned a lot because of hard work, and showed a smile.
"I'm going to make it clear to Uncle Yi and them what I think, and tell him that my ambition is not here. As long as it is a clear monarch, we should support and support it. ”
"Will they agree?" Feather Tear Rainbow took two steps forward and turned her head sideways to look at Bai Qiuchi.
"Uncle Yi said before that he would give me time to think about it, and he would respect my choice." Bai Qiuchi looked at Yu Tear and said, "I believe that they will understand me." ”
"Hmm. No matter what you decide, I will support you. Yu Tear said firmly.
"Thank you, Tearful."
------------------------
The two walked back slowly.
"Tear Rainbow." Bai Qiuchi suddenly stopped and stopped Yu Tear Rainbow.
Feather Tears cast a questioning look.
"Tear Rainbow, I actually want to ......" Bai Qiuchi said this, a little embarrassed.
"What does Akichi want to say?" As if she had a premonition, two red clouds floated on Feather Tear's face.
"Tear Rainbow, I don't know if it's out of place to say this now, I ......" Bai Qiuchi gently took Yu Tear Rainbow's hand.
"I think, when these things are over, I will go home with you and propose marriage to your father." Bai Qiuchi looked at Yu Tear Rainbow affectionately.
At this time, their eyes were only on each other.
It's like two people who are lost in the night, shuttling through the maze, going through many tribulations, and finally clearing the fog and reuniting.
-------------------------
When Yu Tear Hong heard Bai Qiuchi's "untimely" confession, a joy rose from the bottom of her heart, unspeakable.
"Really...... Really? Yu Tear Rainbow couldn't believe it for a while.
Bai Qiuchi nodded heavily and said, "Tear Rainbow, thank you for waiting for me for so long and trying to share it for me." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
Bai Qiuchi took the feather tear rainbow into his arms and stroked her hair.
In order to better adapt to the hard life, Yu Tear also cut her hair shorter.
At that time, Bai Qiuchi was very distressed, but Yu Tear Hong comforted him and said that it was okay, and it was shorter and cooler.
Yu Tear also braided her cut hair, wrapped it and gave it to Bai Qiuchi, and officially handed over her doppelganger to Bai Qiuchi.
Bai Qiuchi carefully took it and collected it well. He secretly made up his mind that he must treat the tears well, cherish her for the rest of his life, and no longer live up to her hopes.
--------------------------
"Next, I still have to wait for me."
"It's okay, I'll wait for you for as long as I want." Yu Tear closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of Bai Qiuchi's embrace, as if with Bai Qiuchi's promise, she was not afraid of anything.
Really, is it really going to be able to marry Akichi?
Mother, brother, have you seen it? Don't worry, Akichi will be fine to me.
"The river wind is getting stronger and stronger, let's go back." Bai Qiuchi's gentle voice came.
"Good!"
The two of them interlocked their fingers and walked back slowly.
I really want to be like this, holding the hand of the son, and growing old with the son.
