Chapter 987 - Saving People
As soon as the rain stopped, An Shilang got out of the carriage and checked the situation of the rice in the field. I watched as many rice ears fell into the field, and those ears of rice sprouted.
An Shilang pinched the sprouted ears of rice in his hand and said distressedly: "This year's summer harvest will definitely reduce the yield." ”
Ruan Qing said: "Fortunately, only this side was affected by the flood, and Zhejiang and Jiangsu were not affected. Otherwise, food prices will definitely rise. ”
Rising food prices will affect the capital.
With a sigh, An Shilang looked at a village not far away and couldn't help but say, "It's not early, let's stay in Zhuangzi in front tonight!" ”
Ruan Qing and Fu Jingene have no opinion.
When he arrived in the village, An Shilang went directly to the chief. He is not a private interview with Weifu, so he directly identified himself with this lieutenant.
Hearing that it was a messenger sent by the imperial court, the lieutenant not only gave up the room where the family lived, but also asked his mother-in-law to kill chickens and ducks to entertain them.
An Shilang inquired about the situation in the field, and the chief said that it was good.
Fu Jingene was a little impatient when he heard this, and said to An Shilang: "My lord, I want to go out for a walk." ”
An Shilang nodded and said, "Then you go!" ”
Hearing that Fu Jingene was going out for a walk, the lieutenant quickly called his youngest son over: "My lord, you are not familiar with the place, let my family Saburo take you to the village to see!" ”
"Do you know how to speak official language?"
Hearing that his youngest son couldn't speak official language, Fu Jingene refused: "I don't understand what he said, and it won't help if you take me there, so I'll go around by myself!" ”
Seeing that he was not happy, he couldn't force it. However, he glared fiercely at his youngest son. On weekdays, he didn't study, and he didn't learn official language, but now he missed the opportunity to catch up with a nobleman.
After Fu Jingene turned around the entire village, he found that there were basically earthen houses, and there were even more than a dozen shacks. Like the blue brick and tiled houses of the Li Chang's family, there are only three in the whole village.
Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly heard a terrible cry, and Fu Jingene didn't think much about it, and ran over with Shuangrui.
When I ran over, I realized that it was a child who had fallen into the river. The water in this small river is not deep on weekdays, but now it rains continuously, not only the water level has risen a lot, but the water is also very turbulent.
Before Fu Jingene arrived, someone had already gone down to save the child, but because the water was too urgent, the person didn't stand firm and hit his head on a big rock.
A woman watched the child rush down with the water, slumped on the ground, and said, "Dog, my dog......"
Fu Jingene didn't want to run downstream as fast as he could, his speed was very fast, and he quickly caught up with the child. Without thinking about it, he jumped into the water to save the child.
The child was already unconscious, and Fu Jingene first put the child on his lap and put his head down, and then pried his mouth open to help him clear the debris in his mouth and nose. Then he lay the child on his stomach on his thighs, making his head and feet droop, shaking his thighs, and then slapping his back hard.
"Vomit ......"
Seeing the child gulping out water, Fu Jingene let out a sigh of relief.
When the woman ran over, she saw the child spitting water, and she wanted to rush over to pick up the child, but was stopped by Shuangrui.
Shuangrui explained: "Sister-in-law, it's not too late for you to hug him when he finishes throwing up." ”
The woman did not understand him, but she guessed that it was not appropriate for her to pass now.
When the child stopped throwing up, Fu Jingene returned the child to the woman: "In this weather, you have to watch him carefully." ”
Now it's not as good as in the past, and it will be dangerous for adults to fall into such a big water, let alone such a half-old child.
The woman knelt on the ground with the child in her arms and muttered. I don't understand what to say, but it's a word of thanks.
An Shilang heard that Fu Jingene came back with water and land, and hurriedly came over to ask: "Jingene, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing. At the entrance of the village, I saw a child fall into the river, and I jumped down to save him. ”
Ruan Qingxian felt that Fu Jingene's behavior was very undesirable. I don't know the depth of this water, but I jumped down to save people, what should I do if something happens? It's just that An Shilang and the chief are there, so he didn't say it in his heart.
An Shilang also felt that he was reckless, and said: "It's good that you save people, but you can't put yourself in danger. If something else happens to you, what will happen to your wife?
Fu Jingene explained with a smile: "The water of that small river is not deep, and it has not reached my waist yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go into the water to save people. ”
The man who had gone into the water to save people before was standing in the middle of the river, and the water was only up to his waist. He was a head taller than the man, so he wasn't worried about danger.
An Shilang said: "Forget it this time, the next time you encounter such a thing, let the entourage save it." ”
When Shuangrui and Sun Fa went to save them, the child would have died a long time ago. However, he did not refute: "I was only thinking about saving people at the time, and I didn't think about it so much. Hopefully, though, that doesn't happen. ”
An Shilang also said to the chief: "Now that it is raining every day, I have to tell the people in the village not to let the children near the water, it is too dangerous." ”
The lieutenant nodded repeatedly.
After dinner, Fu Jingene and An Shilang said: "My lord, this village is basically full of earthen houses and shacks. If there were a few more heavy rains, I was worried that the old houses and shacks that had fallen into disrepair would collapse. ”
The newly built earthen embryo house is quite stable, but the old earthen embryo house is not stable, and those shacks cannot withstand the wind and rain. This house is going to collapse, and it is easy to kill people.
An Shilang nodded and said, "I will instruct Yi Lichang to take the young adults in the village to repair those old houses." Those who are old and in disrepair or have shacks temporarily moved out and borrowed from other homes. ”
Fu Jingene just reminded An Shilang. One of his attendants only makes suggestions, and he still has to be a servant to make decisions.
Yi Lichang didn't dare to disobey An Shilang's words, so he went out after getting his words. Subsequently, the three families with particularly dilapidated houses were borrowed to live in other houses under the arrangement of the governor.
Heavy rain fell again that night.
Listening to the sound of heavy rain, Fu Jingene was worried. It's always raining, and I don't know if the road will be easy.
The heavy rain did not stop until the second half of the night.
Early the next morning, everyone knew that one of the three families who had gone to live in another house yesterday evening had collapsed.
Li Changqing was also very happy to learn about this, and said to An Shilang: "Lord Qincha, otherwise, your eldest family will die." Thanks to you. ”
An Shilang didn't have any joy on his face, he said calmly: "As the lieutenant governor, you should have considered these things a long time ago. But what about you? But you didn't do anything, you're too incompetent as a lieutenant. ”
Yi Lichang's face turned green.
At this moment, the eldest lady's wife walked in and said, "In charge, the eldest family came here to kowtow to Lord Qincha, and thank Lord Qincha for his life-saving grace." ”
An Shilang didn't see the big family: "These are all things we should do, and we don't need to thank them." Yi Lichang, what I told you yesterday must be arranged, if you don't do it when we turn back, then you don't have to do it. ”
The lieutenant nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely settle the villagers according to your orders." ”
