Chapter 21: I'll Carry You

The rain outside is heavy, and the spring is worried that the moisture on Song Po's body will also increase, it is best to have no illness and no pain in this summer, but if you have any disease, it will be even more difficult to cure.

For this reason, I can't think of spring, I think about it for a long time and decide to cook ginger tea, if the taste is not good, you can sprinkle some sugar in it, and ginger tea is a good way to go to rheumatism.

When he was loading ginger tea, Chunyi happened to see Qiao Mei who was wet all over, and immediately with a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to beckon Qiao Mei to come over.

"Brewed ginger tea, drink it to get rid of the cold on your body."

The warm bowl was steaming, and a smell of ginger came to her face, although Qiao Mei didn't like ginger flavor, but Mrs. gave it to herself, Qiao Mei still stretched out her tongue and licked it, the ginger taste was not heavy and sweet, and the delicious made Qiao Mei squint her eyes happily.

The stone hiding behind the door snorted lightly, thinking that there was something great, but when he looked up, he saw that his wife was standing in front of him with a bowl of ginger tea, and his cheeks with a little flesh instantly flushed with ruddy, and he happily forgot all the troubles just now, and drank it in small sips with ginger tea.

Chunyi will hold the ginger tea in a porcelain jar, and this ginger tea will be given to Song Po, and there will be some left in the pot, waiting for Song Xian to come back and drink.

Although there are not many rooms in the Song Mansion, but it is pretended to be Qiao Mei, Chun Yi took Qiao Mei to a good house, and by the way, she also left clean clothes, Qiao Mei's heart warmly drilled in, and after a while, she changed into dry clothes.

At noon, Song Xian did not return, not to mention that the prison in Liuhe Town was destroyed. Secondly, the dead jailer has not been found out the truth, no matter how to say that these things must be thoroughly investigated, and the fabric shop has not been opened since the accident.

The people concerned disappeared even more, just like the evaporation of the world, without the prison Song Xian had nowhere to be on duty, while building the prison, the county lord instructed Song Xian to follow the chief catcher to investigate this matter.

The rain was lighter at night, and when Chunyi was about to fall asleep, Song Xian came back and walked in with a wet body, the ginger tea was still warm in the pot, and Chunyi put the ginger tea in the Song pot in front of Xianggong in his clothes.

"Drink ginger tea to get rid of the cold."

Song Xian drank it all, red threads appeared in his eyes, and seeing that Chunyi was still busy, he commanded

"You should rest early in the future, this time is a little busy, don't wait for me."

Chunyi didn't respond to Song Xian's words, still poured Song Xian a cup of ginger tea, and turned his head to look at the gradually smaller rain outside.

"Xianggong, when will this rain fall?"

Rainy days are common in the summer, but it doesn't stop for five days.

"Let's stop tomorrow."

"What if there is more than half a month?"

These words were just Chunyi's unintentional words, but they were heard by Song Xian in his heart, if there was more than half a month, the river embankment not far from Liuhe Town would be in danger.

The embankment not far from Liuhe Town is the Changjiang River, which runs through countless cities and counties from top to bottom, reducing the occurrence of many droughts, but if the Changjiang River bursts the embankment, the flood can be much more serious than this drought.

"If there is more than half a month, this Changjiang is afraid that there is a possibility of bursting the embankment."

The two talked occasionally tonight, but they didn't expect it to come true a few days later, just like the unintentional words of spring, this rain is really more than half a month, and there is still no intention to stop, and the people in Liuhe Town are also talking about the topic of Changjiang water level.

If Changjiang bursts, everyone in Liuhe Town will not be able to escape, the stakes are very high, even the county lord has sent the government to take the men in the town to Changjiang not far away to guard, in addition to Liuhe Town, other towns have also sent people.

Since Song Xian left, Song Xian stayed in the house to recite scriptures and eat vegetarian, blessing Song Xian to come back safe and sound.

Since Song Xian's accident last time, Song Po asked Chunyi to invite the Bodhisattva back to bless the husband and wife with peace and security. Chunyi knew that Song Po was afraid, and the only thing she could do was to get some delicious vegetarian dishes for her mother-in-law every day.

He Nuo, who came to report the news last time, also wanted to go to Changjiang, so he could only ask Qiaomei to Chunyi, Qiaomei was very well-behaved, and helped Chunyi do a lot of things every day, but she couldn't help but look at the gray air in a daze when she was eating.

"Ma'am, will the rain stop?"

Qiao Mei is called this with the stone, the last time I sent myself home, the stone also followed my brother to Changhe, and I don't know when the rain will stop, at that time my brother can come back with the stone, of course, the cold old man will also come back.

Chunyi shook her head, she didn't know when the rain would stop, one big and one small were looking under the eaves, and Song Xian on Jiang Ti was lying on the side covered in muddy water, and the two brothers were sitting on the side following He Nuoshi, and not far away, Liu Yao followed the men of the family and glared at these people fiercely.

"Do you think they have any reason to stare at the boss, if Changjiang ......"

Liu Ji likes to talk a lot, Liu Rui was a little calmer, and immediately reached out to block what Liu Ji was about to say, but Liu Rui forgot that his hands were full of mud, this wall was a mouthful of soil that fed his younger brother, and Song Xian on the side was amused by this action.

The water level of the Changjiang River is slowly rising, and if it rains heavily for another five or six days, I am afraid that the embankment will really burst.

If the levee is breached, these people will be the first to be swallowed by the flood, and then the surrounding counties will be destroyed one by one.

"The rain has finally stopped."

I don't know who shouted, everyone stretched out their hands one after another, the cloudy sky dispersed, and the sun showed their faces slightly, so that everyone's hearts were not so hanging.

But the rain stopped, we still had to do the precautionary work, everyone still had to continue to work, rest and carve, the two brothers followed the stone to the side to move the gravel, and the moved gravel was placed in a cage made of bamboo strips, Song Xian followed He Nuo to pick it up and place it in Jiangti.

This is a method that has fixed Jiang Ti for a long time, and I don't know who invented it, but it was very useful before.

The sun slowly shone on the ground, the heat slowly rose, and the dark clouds covering the town of Liuhe also dispersed, and people who were afraid of the Changjiang embankment bursting could also breathe a sigh of relief.

The happiest thing is that it belongs to Qiao Mei, Qiao Mei jumped to the spring that was busy in the kitchen, and her little hands pulled the corners of her spring clothes and swayed.

"Madame, ma'am, the rain has stopped."

Spring was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the sunlight shining in and smiled, yes! The rain finally stopped, and I don't know when Xianggong will return.

After being woken up by the loud sound of rain in the middle of the night, the whole person looked out of the dark house with some fear.

"Knock Knock"

There was a rapid knock on the door outside the house, and Chunyi immediately opened the door barefoot, and the rain blew directly into the house, wetting Chunyi's clothes and Chunyi's face.

Standing outside the door was Qiaomei, her face was covered with rain, her clothes were also wet, and she looked at spring with fear on her face.

After Chunyi pulled Qiao Mei in, he closed the door, and regardless of his clothes being soaked, he immediately took out a clean cloth to wipe Qiao Mei's body open, and then changed Qiao Mei into his own clean clothes, and then changed his wet clothes.

Qiao Mei didn't know why, she kept crying, and her crying nose was blocked and she was still crying.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Chunyi picked up Qiao Mei and patted Qiao Mei's back to comfort her, Qiao Mei stretched out her hand and grabbed Mrs. Madame's sleeve tightly, her eyes red and sobbing.

"Madam, I don't want to cry either, but I can't stop crying."

After speaking, Qiao Mei hugged Du Chunyi again and cried, Chunyi's body was stunned, could it be that something happened on the river embankment.

There was indeed an accident on the embankment, and everyone was busy until midnight before falling asleep, waking up in the "boom" body, and then the sentence "Changhe burst the embankment" completely sobered everyone up.

At this critical juncture, Song Xian's mind was spring, and it wasn't until the two brothers Jirui pulled him down that Song Xian came back to his senses.

"Boss, the embankment hasn't broken yet, I don't know if the kid was scared and screaming just now." Liu Rui said without danger.

"Yes, I was scared to death, and I thought that I was going to report to Lord Yama without even hugging my daughter-in-law."

"It's raining heavily outside, don't take it lightly."

"Boom!"

After Song Xian finished speaking, there was another thunderstorm outside, and the heavy rain made everyone have to go out and continue to make gabions, just when the sky was about to dawn, the rain also began to become smaller, and everyone's faces were slowly smiling at the same time.

"That'...... It's like water! ”

He Nuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the water was bubbling on the side of the river embankment, Song Xian secretly screamed that it was not good, and the county lord immediately called someone to block the entrance of the cave first, Song Xian followed He Nuo to take the lead, blocking the bubbling place with his body, and the servants immediately moved stones over.

But just when it was blocked, a certain piece suddenly collapsed, Song Xian was blinking, and several people on the side disappeared in an instant, Song Xian quickly grabbed He Nuo, who was almost swept away by the river, and the two brothers were stunned for a while, and immediately stepped forward to help pull He Nuo back.

The situation in front of them does not allow anyone to stop what they are doing, there is a home behind them, and once the Changjiang River bursts, the surrounding towns will definitely be the most affected.

At that time, what awaited them was the destruction of their families.

The night's busyness finally paid off, and the river embankment was saved, but this was never the way, He Nuo escaped death, coupled with a night's fatigue, the whole person lay on the ground and his fingers were lazy.

Song Xian thought for a long time, got up and walked in the direction of the county master, while He Nuo was almost swept away by the river, Song Xian thought that there were a few people in the town, it was better to wait on the mountain.

If the embankment can't be held, the people of the town still have hope of survival.

Not long after the two talked, the county lord immediately agreed with Song Xian's idea, and asked Song Xian to follow Liu Wei to send dozens of men to inform the people in the town to go to the mountain to take refuge first, and then go down the mountain when the situation is stable.

As the head of the prison and couldn't go with the head catcher, out of some selfishness, Song Xian sent the two brothers He Nuoshi and Ji Rui over, Liu Wei didn't say anything, but some people were not convinced.

This person is Liu Yao, but Liu Yao just wanted to stand up and shout, but he was frightened by Song Xian's eyes and sat directly on the ground, which provoked the people around him to laugh mockingly, Liu Yao's angry teeth itched, and the resentment towards Song Xian in his heart was deeper.

In addition to Liuhe Town, the county lord of the next town sent more than a dozen men to evacuate the townspeople, and when the sky was bright, these people began to set off.

Chunyi didn't sleep all night when she was worried, Qiaomei was young, and she fell asleep in Chunyi's arms when she was tired of crying.

The rain was still falling, the leaves of the plane trees outside the house were listless, and as soon as my thoughts were far away, I heard a quick knock on the door.

Chunyi immediately went to open the door with an umbrella, and He Nuo appeared in front of Chunyi with the stone soaking wet, and the two of them didn't know whether it was sweat or rain on their foreheads, and they were gasping for air.

"What about Song Xian?"

I looked back for a long time, but I didn't see Xianggong's figure, and Chun Yi chuckled in his heart, could it be that something happened?

"The prison head is fine, the county lord asked us to inform, take our things to the top of the mountain behind to take shelter, sister-in-law prepare quickly, I will pick you up in a while."

After saying that, He Nuo left with the stone in a hurry, and Chunyi heard that the river embankment was really dangerous this time, so he immediately went to the kitchen to load the steamed buns made yesterday.

In my mind, I remembered that my mother told me about the flood in my hometown, and immediately put the rice in the kitchen in the empty wooden box, and after the oil and salt were sealed, the broken silver given by Song Po was put in, and then the wooden box was covered.

At this time, Qiao Mei woke up, pushed the door and saw Mrs. digging a pit in the courtyard, although I don't know why, Qiao Mei still rushed to the rain to help.

It is not easy to dig a deep pit with a large and a small one, but fortunately, He Nuo followed the stone in advance, He Nuo didn't ask much, and quickly dug the deep pit, and after burying the wooden box in it, Chunyi went to Song Po's wing.

It's just that before Spring knocked on the door, the wooden door was opened by Green Bamboo, and after Green Bamboo saluted Spring with a package on his back, Song Po appeared in Chunyi's field of vision with a cane.

"I know what you want to say, let's go!"

Song Po's expression was gloomy, and her hand holding the cane trembled slightly, presumably preparing for the worst.

Qiao Mei in the courtyard held her brother's hand tightly, He Nuo was carrying the package handed over to him by Chunyi behind him, and the stone stood on one side and looked at the direction of the river embankment with some concern, and when he saw that his wife followed the old lady, he withdrew his gaze.

I don't know when the rain finally stopped, and the long-lost sunlight appeared in the clouds, sweeping away the depressing breath in the air.

Chunyi looked up at the dazzling sunlight, with a hint of joy in her heart, but more worry.

"Madame, let's go!"

Qiao Mei couldn't help but speak, the breeze caressed the leaves of the sycamore tree, and when Spring turned her head, she reached out and pinned the fallen broken hair behind her earlobe.

Bodhisattva bless! Bless the fair and safe return.

Chunyi thought silently in his heart, after stepping out of the Song Mansion, he saw many people running towards the mountain in a panic with their luggage, Chunyi took the package from Qiaomei, most of them are food, and a small part is warm clothes, after all, there are many people on the mountain and it is inconvenient, how can there be a chance to wash and change clothes.

The mountain to go to is called Liushan, which is the highest mountain nearby, and Liushan is said to be far away, but it is not close.

But it is not easy to climb to the top of Liushan Mountain.

When the five of them arrived at the foot of Liushan Mountain, they happened to meet the group of the Hui family, Wang Chunjiao looked around, and when she didn't see Song Xian's figure, she glared at Chunyi fiercely.

"Old lady, let me carry you."

Song Po turned her head to look at Liuhe Town behind her, and after making a recitation of "Bodhisattva bless" with both hands, she lay on He Nuo's back.
