Chapter 623: Looking for River Water
Branding Heng first arranged Shen Qingci in a nearby mansion, this mansion was found by local officials, it turned out to be a well-known rich family of this generation, but because this family has already left, the current mansion is also uninhabited, and the official really has no place to arrange this distinguished guest, so he can only forcibly smash the lock and let people come in first, and after this rich family leaves, I am afraid that he will not come back, so the house is empty.
The rich family left in a hurry, and only took away the valuable things in the house, but most of them were still left in Jingmu, such as the furniture in the house, which was also fully prepared.
Bai Mei hurriedly took out the new bedding brought from the carriage, these are all this time, she brought them out from the house, but although it is her own, but because it has been snowing for too long, this way, there have not been a few sunny days, so that these bedding or something are a little slightly tidal, fortunately, they found some charcoal in the firewood house of this family, and they can also take these charcoal to the house to burn the brazier, it didn't take long to disperse some moisture.
Bai Mei hugged the quilt or something, and put it in front of the brazier and roasted it, also wanting to roast the moisture on it to disperse a little.
She hugged the quilt for more than half an hour, and only then did she feel that the quilt was warmer.
Holding an umbrella, he took Changqing and a few other guards and Shen Qing to the edge of the Xun River here, and the flood of this river has risen, although it is being strengthened every year, and it is also built every year, and the silver allocated by the imperial court here every year is also tens of thousands, but even so, this river has never been quiet.
There is a small flood every year, a major flood every three years, and every time, as long as it gets angry, it will cause the displacement of the victims on both sides of the strait, and the separation of wives and wives, which is also unspeakably miserable.
And the imperial court also struggled for this long river.
Shen Qingci didn't know, why couldn't all the rivers be as quiet as the Xiangjiang River?
In that place of Xiangjiang, there are outstanding people, accompanied by mountains and rivers, and Yi'an's biggest reliance is not that Xiangjiang.
The Xiangjiang River not only brings great convenience to shipping there, but also produces the very famous Xiangjiang fish there, and raises the daughters there one by one, which is also comparable to the fireworks in Yangzhou, the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
It can be said that the biggest reason why the whole Aon is so prosperous is nothing else, but because of the fragrant river.
But now looking at the river not far away mixed with sand, and it is a long river rushing forward, Shen Qingci really doesn't know how to describe his mood at this time.
She couldn't say it, she couldn't say anything.
She has never seen such a big flood in her two lives, and it is no wonder that the people here are moving, fleeing, even those who are rich and powerful, and even the things at home have not come and brought with them, and they have already left with their families.
The flood here is actually only a line away, if it is beyond this line.
If it is bigger, maybe the entire Pingyang City will also become an ocean.
Farmland was destroyed, houses were swept away by floods, and even more crops were left without grass for a few years.
So this place is very poor, still quite poor, and under the poor countryside, there are not many people here, but they are getting poorer and poorer every year, and there are fewer people every year.
Even if it is to recuperate and recuperate, in the end, it will make up for the floods that burst the levee again and again.
Her steps couldn't help but stumble, and a hand also stretched out, helped her up, and then straightened her clothes.
See you now, right?
Asked Shen Qingci worriedly, and also carefully used her body to block those cold winds for her, although it is not winter now, but this rain day after day has finally made the weather here a lot colder.
And they stood here, and within a while, they were already trembling, and even Shen Qingci felt that his feet were about to be numb from the cold.
The shoes on her feet were soaked, and she would step out of a foot of water as long as she persuaded her slightly.
Shen Qingci turned his head and glanced at the long river in front of him again.
Yes, she had seen it, and it was the first time she had seen such a terrible flowing water, such a terrifying river.
"Do you regret it?"
Burning Heng asked her again, a pair of black eyes were always staring at her eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and wiped the rain on her face, the rain that fell on her face was cold, but his palm was warm.
What Shen Qingci could feel now was the temperature of his fingers on his face, which seemed to dispel these inexplicable chills.
She shook her head.
"I always have to come and see me once, and now that I do, I know."
Burning Heng pulled his sleeve over her head, "Let's go back first." ”
"Okay," Shen Qingci agreed, and also stretched out her hand to grasp the corner of his clothes, she couldn't help but turn around again, and glanced at the Xun River behind her that was almost full of anger, I don't know what is breaking through the ground, and I don't know when, it will also drown everything here, including all the creatures in this morning.
"Be careful," Branding Heng Worry clenched her hand, her fingertips have always been warm, and she can always feel Zhi, in this biting cold, the warmth makes her clear and clear, it is Branding Hengxuan's hand, and his fingers have always been extremely warm.
She glanced up at him.
Hung Heng shook her hand.
She smiled at the brand again,
Even so, she will not regret going out with him, the road, they walked together, the rain, they were also drenched together, and these floods, they also faced together, although she couldn't do anything, but she would accompany him.
When they arrived in the mansion, Bai Mei and a new girl, the two of them hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil hot water, this is not in the Shuo Wang's Mansion, and the people they brought are quite limited, this time only Bai Mei came, and the county officials also sent a few, and they were all helping to do some rough work and heavy work.
There was also a fire in the kitchen in the house, and even the firewood was a little damp, so when it was burned, it was almost choking smoke, but fortunately, the water was still boiled by them.
It was also sent to a few people who had been drenched in the rain, especially Shen Qingci, the hot water must be delivered first, such a heavy rain, the man can't bear it, not to mention that she is such a weak woman.
And her body has not been good, with major injuries and minor injuries, since she met that Qi Yuan, she has not had a good life.
