The sun is setting.

Han Lei pricked up his ears and listened for a while, the study was quiet, he guessed that Jiang Muyuan should be asleep, so he didn't go in to light the lamp.

Watching from afar Shocking Rain coming over with a food box, Han Lei made a silent gesture.

Shocking rain glanced at the study, and said in a suppressed voice: "Where is the master resting?" Ye went out of Beijing by himself, and he didn't eat or sleep on time, and sooner or later he was too tired to slow down. Before leaving, the eldest princess asked us to stare at the master's body, and I almost swore a poisonous oath, but I still couldn't stand it. ”

"Didn't you end up with it?" Han Lei glanced at the rain, "I can't persuade it once or twice." ”

Shocking rain pursed his lips, of course he didn't swear poison, let him send it, he didn't dare to send it.

The water situation is so strong, it is impossible for their master to eat and sleep on time, and it is useless for anyone to say.

Therefore, Shocking Rain was a little curious at the moment, and said, "Why is it resting now?" I thought I was going to keep going. ”

Han Lei lowered his eyes, and a sentence came out in the middle of the night: "I want to go out at night." ”

Shocking rain gasped, and the roots of his teeth hurt, which was really expected.

Jiang Muyuan made up his mind, and the rain and cold thunder could only do it.

Shocking rain waved his hand, turned around and sent the food box back to the kitchen, and put it on the fire to heat it, it was better to eat cold dishes and cold rice for a while.

In the house, Jiang Muyuan did not sleep soundly.

He had a dream.

In the dream, he climbed all the stairs, and the hem of his shoulder clothes was wet, as if it was raining, and it seemed to be drifting with fine snow.

Everything in the dream is like a layer of fog, hazy and unreal.

He didn't even know where he was, he couldn't tell the difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter, he only knew that he was holding a cold little thing in his palm, which should be made of iron from the touch, but the person in the dream didn't raise his hand to look at the palm, he just held the cold iron thing tightly and walked quickly.

He was looking for something, but he couldn't find it anywhere.

No matter how many steps he walked, there was nothing in his vision but a white expanse.

What he could perceive was his anxiety and anxiety, he looked around, and in the end he was left with a sense of loss.

Jiang Muyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

It was pitch black in front of him, which was diametrically opposed to the snow white in the dream, and for a moment, Jiang Muyuan couldn't tell what was real and what was a dream, but he quickly woke up again.

In the palm of his hand, as if there was still that cold feeling, Jiang Muyuan lowered his eyes and looked at it, and then clenched it again.

Without asking anyone to light the lamp, Jiang Muyuan sat in the dark for a while.

He had woken up from the dream, but the anxiety was still hovering in his heart, and the melancholy was real.

It's not a comforting taste.

Pressing his eyebrows, Jiang Muyuan stood up, took the fire fold and lit the lamp, the room suddenly lit up a lot, and part of the map hanging on the wall could be seen clearly.

Fingers swiped across the map, the vast territory of the imperial court is only the size of a map here, but only by walking through it in person can you know how vast this territory is.

From north to south, west to east.

On the light, Jiang Muyuan thought of Gu Yunjin, the little girl who played chess with him in the oil lamp that night, was on the chessboard with all her heart, and the light shone from the side, reflecting that delicate face like a warm jade.

I don't know what Gu Yunjin is doing at this time, have you thought of how to crack the chess game?

Thinking of her, the corners of Jiang Muyuan's lips added a slight arc, with a shallow smile.

The anxiety and sorrow in the dream gradually dispersed, so that people were no longer immersed in the white expanse, and they were much more steady.

Outside the house, Han Lei saw that the light was lit inside, so he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

Shocking rain brought the simmering food.

Jiang Muyuan used it simply, looked at the sky, and said, "Have you informed the fifth master?" ”

Han Lei replied: "The fifth master has replied, and he is waiting for the master on the east side of the embankment." ”

Due to the water situation, Jingzhou City implemented a curfew, and the city gates had long been closed, so Jiang Muyuan could bypass the soldiers who patrolled the city at night, but he couldn't get out of the city wall.

The only way to walk without knowing is to walk along the embankment.

The river passes through the city, and high dikes are built on both sides, so that the flood is imminent, and no one goes to the water's edge at this time, and it is easier to get out of the city.

When the time was almost up, Jiang Muyuan left with cold thunder and stayed in the mansion by the shocking rain.

The fifth master has arrived, the two parties converged, and he led the way, he had already arranged horses outside the city, and after leaving the city, he could hurry up and rush to Chenjiazhuang.

The area around Chenjiazhuang is a mess.

The flood slowly receded, leaving behind the damaged houses and houses, and in the dark night, it was impossible to see the road ahead, and the small piece of land illuminated only by lanterns would occasionally have the remains of the people who had been killed.

It's not that the burial is not collected, but the water is receding, and it is too late.

Wu Ye saw it in his eyes and said to Jiang Muyuan: "You still have to clean it up as soon as possible, it is better to burn it than this." ”

Jiang Muyuan also knew in his heart that the sun had already risen during the day, and if he didn't clean it up, it was very likely that an epidemic would occur.

These situations are also clear to the yamen everywhere, but it is still the same sentence, where can it be in time for a while?

It is necessary to guard against another flood from the upstream, to resettle the people affected by the disaster, and to open warehouses to release grain......

What kind of thing doesn't require a lot of manpower and time.

Wu Ye led Jiang Muyuan to find Chen Dazhuang, a man from Chenjiazhuang who escaped by luck.

Chen Dazhuang escaped the catastrophe when he went up the mountain that night, but the relatives at home were not so lucky, except for the youngest son and the fourth brother, who was held on the top of a big tree and hugged all night, the rest of them either died or disappeared.

According to the water situation at that time, those who are not seen are equivalent to dying.

After dawn, the fourth brother was rescued by a family living on high ground in Chenjiazhuang, and after the water was no longer turbulent, the survivors went up the mountain together and met Chen Dazhuang.

"They took refuge in the mountains for several days, and when the water gradually went down, they went back to the village to clean up." Friday Master said.

Chenjiazhuang was pitch black, Chen Dazhuang's home was washed away, and their father and son now live in the Land Temple.

I thought that Chen Dazhuang was asleep, but how did he know that there was a dim light in the land temple, Jiang Muyuan went in and took a look, and he knew the reason.

The fourth brother is sick.

The child shrunk into his father's arms, trembling vigorously, his face was flushed, his hands and feet were swollen, and he looked miserable.

When Chen Dazhuang saw them, he was so anxious that he kowtowed again and again: "Where is there a doctor in Zhuangzi now, I went to the mountains to catch some herbs for him during the day, and it is useless to eat them." It's boiling hot. ”

Jiang Muyuan and Wu Ye exchanged a look.

Wu Ye said in a deep voice: "The fourth brother looks like this, it may not be that he is affected by the cold and heat. ”

Chen Dazhuang was stunned.

Jiang Muyuan stepped forward to look at the fourth brother's condition and said, "I'm not a doctor, I may not be accurate, the child will hold on for another night, and tomorrow during the day, I want to send a doctor over." ”
