Originally, they only thought that Gu Yun was an ordinary official, otherwise how could they follow them to work and build embankments?

Someone in the crowd sighed in a low voice, "It turns out that he is the little marquis of the Marquis of Annan!" ”

Such princes and nobles should have stayed in the capital to be pampered, who would have thought that they would be building a dam with them.

The man who spoke to Gu Yun earlier took the lead, "The little marquis is not afraid of hardships and hardships, and he will repair the river embankment with us, and the big guys will do it quickly!" ”

Behind him, more than 100 villagers who had been caught by the official had just walked to the riverbank, and they were all reluctant, but after listening to Gu Yun's words, they couldn't help but be a little moved.

Who doesn't want to see the corpses all over the field, the tragic scene of the epidemic raging in the world, one by one spontaneously went down the river to help, with this hundred or so people to build the embankment The speed doubled at once, but when it was built to a height of more than six meters, some people found that the sandbags for the embankment were not enough.

The excavated rocks are not smooth enough, and it is difficult to avoid breaches, so the stones of the embankment are placed next to the sandbags on both sides to prevent the river from washing away the sediment in the sandbags.

Gu Yun sent some people to dig up sand and transport them over, while the others continued to drive piles and build embankments.

Liu Ziqi, who went to the city to find ropes, came back, and brought back a batch of iron chains that had been ordered to be made in a hurry in the past few days.

Gu Yun was overjoyed to see the heavy iron chain, and beckoned people to use the iron chain to tightly pile up the sandbags and stones of the embankment, and the man with good water ability dived, locked one end of the iron chain on the iron pillar at the bottom of the river, and everyone pulled the iron chain hard, and then shrunk the other end around the three-meter-wide embankment on the iron pillar on the other side.

The Xiangyuan embankment is more than 30 meters long, and only two-thirds of the iron chain is reinforced, and the remaining one-third can only be reinforced with ropes.

The ropes that Liu Ziqi found everywhere were of different thicknesses, and he asked people to knead several strings together and use them.

The water level is getting higher and higher, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and you have to shout loudly to hear what the other person is saying.

A group of people worked together, tired and couldn't straighten their waists, and finally strengthened the rest of the embankment with ropes, the man who dived the rope tied the rope, looked up to the sky with his mouth wide open, gasped, the rain fell into his mouth, Gu Yun patted him on the shoulder, "Good job!" ”

The man grinned.

Everyone also looked at the reinforced embankment, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down in the muddy water by the river to rest.

"Mother, the weather is not good, you and your little brother should rest early." Changkui County, sent Liu Sanniang's mother and son to the house in Huaihua Lane, Yu Jiao looked at the sky outside and said goodbye to Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang glanced at the dark and oppressive sky, then at Yu Qizhen, and said loudly, "The wind is blowing so hard outside, maybe it will rain heavily in a while, why don't you stay in this house for the night?" ”

Yu Jiao shook her head, "Mother, let's go first." ”

Fei Ge'er looked at Yu Jiao reluctantly, and said very sensibly, "Sister, be careful on the road, if it rains heavily and you don't go far, you will rush back." ”

Yu Jiao touched his head and walked outside with Yu Qizhen.

Yu Qiyu helped her into the carriage, whipped the horse and drove the horse back to Qingyu Village.

As soon as I got out of the city, the rain became heavier, and it hit the roof of the car with a loud noise, which was very scary to hear.

The cold wind was raging, the car curtain was lifted fiercely, Yu Jiao reached out to grab it, and the car curtain was swaying around like a dragon.

The raindrops hit the back of her hand, a little painful, Yu Jiao couldn't help but be a little worried about Yu Qiyu, who was sitting on the edge of the car to catch the car, she probed and said, "This rain is too big, otherwise we should go back to Pear Blossom Lane, right?" ”

Yu Qiyu glanced back at her, and grabbed the reins of the horse with both hands, "I'll send you back." ”

He reined in his horse and was about to turn around, but Yu Jiao heard the meaning of his words, "Send me back?" Are you going back to the village? ”

Yu Qiyu nodded, Yu Jiao's actions in recent days indicate that there may be floods, and now that the rain is like this, he can't abandon his father and sister and ignore it, so he wants to go back to the village.

Fang should have let Yu Jiao stay directly in Pear Blossom Lane, but he was too selfish, and he always wanted that no matter what happened, Yu Jiao could stay by his side.

The hand that was drenched in cold wind and rain suddenly covered with a layer of warmth, Yu Qizhen glanced down, Yu Jiao's hand held his palm tightly, and her firm voice came from her ears, "Let's go back together." ”

Yu Qizhen looked back at Yu Jiao, who was sitting on the edge of the carriage, the rain made his eyes a little blurry, but he could still see the warm and bright smile on her lips, "Let's go back to Qingyu Village together, let's go quickly." ”

Yu Qi's Adam's apple moved slightly, "Okay." ”

He put Yu Jiao's hand in the palm of his hand, led her with one hand, and whipped the horse with the other hand, driving in the direction of Qingyu Village.

When they returned to the village, both of them were chickens in soup, and the whole village was shrouded in mist after heavy rain.

The strange thing is that a group of villagers, all dressed in robes, stood in front of Chen's house, as if they were discussing something with Chen Gensheng.

Yu Qiyu glanced at it lightly, and saw that Uncle Yu Qiaoshan was also among them, he was puzzled, and drove straight back to Yu's house.

Seeing the two coming back, Song hurriedly took a dry towel and asked the two to wipe their bodies and change their clothes, "I'll go cook ginger soup for you." ”

After Yu Qiyu changed his clothes, Yu Mengshan said to him worriedly, "The old uncle of the Chen family said that this rain is evil, and this time it will be sacrificed with human animals." ”
