It was already dark, but outside the northern city, boats with torches could still be seen everywhere.

Either it's coming back with people, or it's leaving with food.

Outside the north of the city, there are too many people stranded, and if you calculate it casually, there may be more than 20,000 or 30,000 people. Moreover, there are more than ten miles of short round-trips, and tens of miles of distance.

Even if Yu Meng later took people and found dozens of boats, it was still a drop in the bucket, far from enough.

Above the city walls, the firelight flickered.

Xia Huan patrolled around the north city and calmed people's hearts, and after calming people's hearts, he had to rush back to the city again to stabilize people's hearts.

The flood situation is better than he imagined. At least, the water in the city is no longer rising.

However, the destructive power of the flood was more serious than he imagined.

Originally, he thought that food was what people outside the city needed most. However, how many of those earthy workshops can soak in water for so long?

Xia Huan once watched a celadon burning workshop collapse, and a group of people soaked in the water, if it weren't for the fact that the fleet was nearby, I am afraid that those people would die of exhaustion in less than an hour.

In addition to facing the danger of death, there are sometimes some dead bodies floating over the water.

This is a huge blow to those who are isolated. Because, among these dead bodies, there may be many of them who were once acquaintances.

Although Xia Huan went out of the city, he didn't do anything really laborious. However, what he saw along the way consumed a lot of his energy and made him tired.

However, Xia Huan did not choose to rest, and still stood on the city wall.

The city wall of Yingshang County is both high and thick, and it can accommodate many people during wartime.

Now, the city is flooded everywhere, and most of the young and vigorous are arranged in some warehouses, and they simply set up a wooden platform and barely rest.

Only women, children, and the elderly were placed on the city walls, and some rudimentary tents were distributed.

Although it was already night, the cries of women and babies and the sighs of the old people on the walls of the city were even more harsh against the backdrop of the night.

Just when Xia Huan comforted the old men and women one by one, a cry came faintly.

"Please, let me go down and find the doctor! If I don't look for it, I'm afraid my kid won't last long! ”

Wang Yan and his wife had red eyes, holding their young son in their arms, kneeling in front of a Changxiu sergeant, pleading bitterly.

"It's not that I won't help you, now the city has long been under martial law, and non-armor soldiers are not allowed to go to the streets. Moreover, those who opened the medicine hall had already transported medicinal materials out of the city, how many could they stay in the city? ”

In front of Wang Yan, the soldier also looked quite helpless.

Wang Yan and his wife knew that what they said was true, but seeing the child die like this, Wang Yan's heart seemed to be tormented on fire.

However, just when Wang Yan was a little desperate, a figure squatted down beside him.

"The child does have a bad fever, and if it is not treated as soon as possible, even if he saves his life, he will be branded with the root of the disease." Xia Huan's hand lightly rested on the child's forehead, frowned and said.

"Villain Zhao Liu, I've seen His Highness!" Zhao Liu, who was on the side, looked at the person who was coming, and quickly knelt down.

Xia Huan was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect to meet Zhao Liu here.

"Your Highness......"

Unlike Zhao Liu, when Wang Yan saw Xia Huan during the day, Xia Huan was still dressed in brocade. And now, Xia Huan, who has retreated from the cumbersome brocade clothes and is only wearing plain clothes, is no different from the merchants and wealthy children on the streets.

Before Wang Yan and his wife could salute, Xia Huan said directly to Zhao Liu on the side: "You go and find a boat, and immediately take the family to find a doctor outside Nancheng." ”

However, Zhao Liu showed a hint of embarrassment and said: "Your Highness, now that all those who can carry people in the city have been sent to the north of the city, where are there still ships!" It was the brothers who followed General Chen to patrol the streets, and most of them waded through the water. ”

Xia Huan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then go and find a horse!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Liuyi gave up, and then ran down the city wall quickly.

Zhao Liu hurriedly ran to look for the horse, Xia Huan looked at the baby's somewhat reddened complexion, and said to Wang Yan and his wife: "Don't be idle, go and get a basin of cold water, wipe the child's whole body, and cool down!" ”

Perhaps because they had not recovered from Xia Huan's identity, Wang Yan and his wife were still stunned.

Xia Huan frowned and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, go quickly!" ”

"Oh! Oh! Here! ”

Wang Yan, who came back to his senses, hurriedly handed the child in his hand to the Li family next to him.

Maybe it was because he had been kneeling for a long time, and Wang Yan even almost fell.

When Wang Yan brought water, Xia Huan personally wiped the child the whole thing, and Zhao Liu's voice also sounded under the city wall.

"Your Highness, the horse has been brought in!"

I have to say that Zhao Liu followed Yu Meng so well, and he still knew how to turn the corner.

Although the north of the city is large, most of the horses are pulled to transport goods. And Zhao Liu, this kid, actually ran directly and pulled the original Xia Huan's horse over.

Xia Huan didn't say a word, hugged the child, and ran towards the city wall.

From Zhao Liu's hand, taking the reins, Xia Huan held the child in one hand and flexibly turned over on the horse.

"This horse has a fierce temperament, and you may be difficult to control. Wait here for me, and I will find a good doctor for my child!" ”

After Xia Huan finished speaking, he kicked the horse's belly fiercely. The painful horse, with a neigh, spread its legs and ran towards the southern city.

……

In the south of the city, there were only a few small fertile fields here.

However, now, it has become the only place on the entire Yingshang that is not flooded.

There are many merchants in Yingshang County, and the purpose of going out of the city is also to prevent their goods from being flooded. Therefore, when they first went out of the city, they were all scrambling.

However, Yu Meng was only responsible for maintaining order at the city gates, and when these people were out of the city, he couldn't control it.

The sky was still gloomy, without a trace of moonlight. No one knows when it will rain again.

Therefore, outside the southern city, there were not many farmhouses and barns, but at this moment, they suddenly became sought-after goods.

In the face of those ragged mud-legged people, these business travelers were either coerced or enticed. In short, in order to compete for more places to hoard goods, do anything.

Even, it's not for nothing that there are big fights.

"This is what we bought first! We've given all the money, do you want to rob it! A woman's voice was filled with anger.

"What is Mingqiang, it's not that we didn't pay for it, and we gave more than you. The owner of this house has promised to sell it to us! Another male voice also refused to let it go at all.

Two voices, arguing in front of an adobe house. As for the original owner of this house, he had already taken the money and didn't know where he had gone.

"Da! Da! Da! ”

There was a rush of horses' hooves, and then a man, holding a baby in his arms, broke through the low fence in the yard.

"Who are you, could it be that you also want to rob our Chunyutang house!" The woman's voice rang out again, and the anger was even greater than before.
