On the banks of the Bianhe River in the inner city of the East Water Gate, there are large and small shops for seven or eight miles, and the houses in the alleys are also densely crowded.

After the water of the Bianhe River overflowed the embankment, it collapsed the nearest row of rice shop sheds, and when it attacked further north, it was like the attacking cavalry touching the horse gun, and the momentum was greatly hindered.

The water began to rush around like headless flies, invading the streets and alleys.

Cai Yingwen and Zeng Wei crossed the Bianhe River, and began to slow down their horses, basically walking side by side.

The two of them were on horseback, and they had a great view. With the help of some lanterns that had not yet fallen to the ground or the water, they saw that in the chaos around them, some families hurriedly moved out of the ladder, and the man stood in the water and held the ladder, and sent his wife and children to the roof first, and wanted to go up himself, but the ladder could not be stabilized in the water, and the man had to try to climb the tree. Some people, because they live in low-lying places and are thatched huts instead of brick houses, simply help the old and the young to wade through the water to escape, trying to find the surrounding tall temple pagodas or two-story restaurants to avoid the water.

Zeng Weijian frowned, and said loudly to Cai Yingwen: "Let's go to Qingjiangfang first, if they have escaped, we will look for them separately?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he only heard Cai Yingwen shouting "Granny Wang".

It is the mother-in-law Wang in Qingjiangfang who loves cats like her life and often transmits Shen Fuzhi's daily messages to Cai Yingwen.

Granny Wang is over fifty, and in order to escape for her life at this time, her legs and feet are much sharper than usual, and she can catch up with the young and strong team around her. The point is that while she ran for her life, she was still holding a small milk cat in her arms. The milk cat screamed with a sharp voice, like a cracked silk through the clouds, which immediately attracted Cai Yingwen's attention, and he looked at it, and it was really Granny Wang.

"Granny Wang, it's me, Cai Yingwen, where is my wife?"

"Hey, Cai Daguan, don't enter the workshop, the water is all over your waist. The second sister-in-law and the sister and brother, as well as the little maid, I just saw them running in front with my own eyes, saying that they were going to the Shangqing Palace, where the terrain was high and the building was higher. ”

When Cai Yingwen and Zeng Wei heard this, they didn't say a word, and rode their horses to the northeast, but they didn't dare to run, so they only controlled the horses all the way, and shouted the names of Shen Fuzhi and Yao Huan to the crowd fleeing in the rain all the way.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of buildings collapsing in the distance, accompanied by terrible screams.

The crowd was in an uproar: "Water, water is here again, the Bianhe River has collapsed!" ”

"Oh my God!"

"Go to the room, go to the room!"

After a moment's effort, Cai Yingwen and Zeng Wei, who were riding on tall horses, were horrified to find that the water had reached the soles of their boots.

At this moment, Zeng Wei heard the familiar female voice: "Ru Zhou! I can't catch you! ”

It's Huan'er!

Zeng Wei turned from anxiety to surprise in an instant, staring at him and trying to identify it.

On one side was a mansion, and the lanterns under the eaves were still lit in the wind and rain, which helped Zeng Wei to teach him to finally see a small figure in the water, like a young beast falling into a trap.

Zeng Wei turned the horse's head, and between a few splashes, he grabbed the little figure, bent down and exerted force, grabbed his clothes, lifted them, and pressed them to the saddle in front of him.

He shouted and asked, "Ruzhou, where is your sister?" I'm Uncle Zeng. ”

Yao Ruzhou, a six-year-old little doll, how tall can he be, he was knocked into the water by the rushing crowd all of a sudden, took off his sister Yao Huan's hand, and then was pulled by the person behind him a few times, he couldn't get up at all, he had choked a few mouthfuls of water, and finally struggled with instinct, exhaled a few breaths of life, and was terrified when he was rescued from danger, like returning to the world from the abyss, and suddenly cried.

Zeng Wei could coax him, shouted "Hold on to the reins yourself", and looked around again, looking for Yao Huan.

A pair of hands hugged his thighs.

"Fourth Uncle ......"

Thank goodness Huan'er she's fluttering by herself.

The horse moved, the water was slippery, Yao Huan said with a crying voice: "Fourth uncle, I can't come up......"

Zeng Wei immediately leaned down: "Hold my shoulder!" ”

At this moment, Zeng Shilang is the hero of the fairy world who stepped on auspicious clouds and rode a horse to save the beauty, and the dantian was full of heroic spirit.

He said in his heart, even if I don't have the ability of the eldest son of the Liu family to attack camps on the battlefield, can't I still use the waist strength that I usually practice by playing polo?

In an instant, he only felt that Yao Huan seemed to be trying to stretch his body and hug his neck all at once.

Her cheeks, which had been cold by the rain, drilled into the hot air of his neck, and he could still feel her body shivering.

I don't know if it's frozen, or scared.

Zeng Wei instantly felt that he had grown another hundred catties of strength, hugged the woman's back, and cheered up with a "hi", his arms were like powerful siege weapons, and he suddenly lifted up, and finally hugged Yao Huan.

It's not heavy, it's not heavy, hug it three or five more times, and I'll do it too!

Zeng Wei succeeded in riding the horse, and felt that after Yao Huan got on the horse, although he changed his posture and sat behind him, his two hands were thrown around his waist, and a soft body was thought to be balanced, and it was also tightly attached to his back.

For a moment, he only felt that the tide in his chest had risen suddenly, setting off layers of joy and joy, and the person seemed to freeze all of a sudden and had no direction, not knowing what to do next.

Or Yao Huan shouted at the top of his throat again, "Auntie, aunt!" Meituan, Meituan", Zeng Weicai woke up and shouted loudly: "Cai Xuezheng, I have received Huan'er and Ruzhou, where are you?" Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law is nearby! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yingwen's response came from a bunch of people over there: "I have found Fuzhi and Meituan, and I am already on my horse." Zeng Gongzi, we should go north as soon as possible, and we can't go to the Shangqing Palace, at least we must cross Panlou Street! ”

Panlou Street, in the southeast corner of the Great Song Palace. The imperial palaces of previous dynasties were always built at the highest point of the capital, and in the current situation, the farther away from the Bianhe River the better, and the closer to the high place as possible, the better, and it is always safe.

Zeng Wei said "saved", while holding Xiao Ruzhou, he turned his head sideways to Yao Huan behind him and said: "Hold on to me, with me, you won't lose your lives tonight!" ”

He felt the man on his back arch and seemed to nod.

Zeng Wei's heart was full of joy, pinched the horse's belly, and secretly said, "It's up to you to be a good horse", reined in the direction of the horse's head, and went north along the bubbling flow of people.

However, no man may be victorious, let alone a horse.

When a few people thought they were going to escape, they didn't want to just run a few hundred steps away, and when they saw the eaves of the Shangqing Palace looming in the dark night, there were several big streams of water rushing behind them.

This time, the water was even more turbulent, and the nearly 1,000-pound horse under the crotch was swept back and forth, almost turning the person on his back upside down.

Yao Huan turned around and saw that there was the one who was leading the little donkey to escape, and the donkey had been washed away and slipped, and fell to the fence outside the house on the street.

She called at the root of Zeng Wei's ear: "Fourth uncle, there is a big tree ahead!" ”
