A few excited ladies also threw rotten vegetable leaves at Mai Xiaohuan and Qu Hao, and the officials came over to stop the angry crowd, otherwise Qu Hao and Mai Xiaohuan wouldn't know what kind of embarrassing situation they would face!

"It's raining again, you see it's raining again, walk back to the warehouse to avoid the rain, anyway, there is food and drink here, let's stay for another two days." I don't know who said it in the crowd.

As the crackling raindrops fell, the people dispersed, leaving two people who didn't know whether to cry or laugh standing on the steps and watching the rain fall heavier and louder, relatively silent.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, heavier than ever, and soon the courtyard was flooded, Qu Hao and Mai Xiaohuan stood under the promenade and looked at the rain curtain like a scoop, glad that the people had moved out early.

It rained heavily all night, Mai Xiaohuan and Qu Hao couldn't sleep at all, the two of them simply sat in the living room and played chess.

"Let's play backgammon!" I am more familiar with this, the two of them put on a posture, Jinqiu and a few officials as spectators, played two games Qu Hao gradually gained the upper hand, and as soon as the third set was set, Zhuo Qiao panted and ran over to tell them that there was a landslide in Mujia Village, which was closest to the mountain, and half of the village was gone.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing still happened, and the living room fell silent all of a sudden, Qu Hao walked to the center of the hall and bowed deeply to Mai Xiaohuan: "It was you who saved the people of Mujia Village, and the eldest brother thanked you on their behalf." ”

"I ...... Not as great as you say, know what I'm thinking right now? At noon, I was still a little shaken, thinking that it was possible that you might lose your official position because of your excessive mouth, and I regretted it. At that time, I asked myself over and over again in my mind, was it worth it? For what? I don't think like that now, no matter how much grievances and embarrassment I have suffered, it is worth it for so many fresh lives. ”

Qu Hao nodded heavily, Yimei was the most admirable woman he knew.

One night and early in the morning, half of the mountains in Tongbei County that could be named collapsed, and even half of the houses of the people living in low terrain in the county town collapsed. After daylight, it was already a mess to see Tongbei County, but everyone's faces were beaming.

Yes, you read that right, it's a very happy expression, because in the face of unprecedented disasters, the people in both the village and the county have kept their reputations, and although they have lost their family property, as long as they work hard with their families for a few years, they will have anything.

"Thank you Qu County Order, thank you for saving us." Seeing Qu Hao, the people knelt down one after another, if it weren't for him, many people here would have become lonely ghosts at this moment.

"Listen to me, you can escape this catastrophe first of all thanks to the emperor, it is the emperor's grace that has blessed you, and then the county guard, it is his decisive decision to help everyone. What you should be most grateful for is the prince of Chenwangfu and my sister-in-law Mai Xiaohuan, if it weren't for the two of them pretending to be the people in their hearts and thinking about everyone, Qu wouldn't dare to imagine what Tongbei County would be like today......" After speaking, Qu Hao sighed heavily, it's really dangerous!

What did the eldest brother do with Zhou Yue! Zhou Yue only contributed a jade pendant once, and he didn't have anything to do anymore, he was a female streamer, he couldn't be promoted to an official, and it was impossible to make a fortune with this matter.

Qu Hao was amused by the ignorant righteous sister, such a big thing happened in Tongbei County, it won't be long before the emperor will know, and everyone who participates in the rescue will be rewarded for their merits. Zhou Yue and Mai Xiaohuan have such a great credit, plus her cultivation of corn, the two of them have more hope to be together, aren't they!

She didn't turn this corner, and she didn't need to be particularly reminded, just keep it to give Zhou Yue's guy a headache!

The rain poured down again for a morning, a strong wind blew at noon, and the rain stopped in the afternoon, and the sky showed blue, and the last time I saw the blue sky was more than ten days ago.

Soon, the surrounding areas of Tongbei County knew that it was affected by the disaster, but the road to the county seat was blocked by the collapsed mountain, and no one knew what the situation inside was.

When Zhou Yue received the news, it was already a day later, and when he learned that a large-scale landslide in Tongbei County had swallowed up countless houses, Zhou Yue's face turned white with fright, and he could barely stand by holding on to the table, and after a long time he recovered from the shock and handed over his token to the guards, asking him to give it to Huo Dong, and mobilize the people of Pingliang County to quickly open the road to Tongbei County.

Let Xiao Quanzi pack up his things quickly, he has to rush to Tongbei County as quickly as possible.

"Lord Shizi, it's useless for you to be anxious now! The road is not repaired, unless we have wings, we can't say anything! ”

"Let the guards disperse and inform, let all the officials here act as quickly as possible, and strive to open the road as soon as possible, and whoever dares to slack off will report to the imperial court." By the way, buy more food and medicinal herbs, and transport them in as soon as possible after the road is opened, and I will appease the people for the emperor's uncle. ”

"Yes." Xiaofuzi ran out.

Under Zhou Yue's deliberate concealment, Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua didn't know the situation in Tongbei County, but they remembered Yifeng Villa and Hailan Villa, and kept chattering that they didn't know what was going on over there.

Zhou Yue sent An Ying out in front of them, asked him to take a look at the two villas, come back to report, and reassure them Mai Xiaohuan went over to see it, and it would definitely be fine.

"Uncle Mai, why don't you go down to the ground and take a look? Aunt Mai, aren't you worried about tenants and long-term workers? I'll do the news inquiry, don't worry! ”

Finally let the two of them leave with peace of mind, and Zhou Yue sent his subordinates to warn the people in the villa that if anyone leaked the news in front of Mai Wan and Shan Cuihua, the whole family would get out of the villa, and don't want to stay in Qingcheng County.

Staying up until the evening, An Ying came back and told Zhou Yue that the road had not been repaired, and the people in front of him came back and said that several villages in Tongbei County had been covered by flash floods and had become flat land, and the houses in the county town had also been damaged a lot, and it was estimated that many people would die this time.

"Don't let anything happen to her." Zhou Yue closed his eyes and prayed silently, he didn't dare to think about how he would react if something happened to Mai Xiaohuan? After sitting in a state of confusion all night, he had already thought of an excuse to get out of the villa.

"Uncle Mai, An Ying came back last night and said that everything is normal in Yifeng Villa, I have something to go to Qingcheng County, just turn around and go to Tongbei County to have a look, and bring Xiao Huan back with me in a few days, you two just need to take care of Maixi Villa."

The couple nodded and agreed, there was a lot of work here, and they really couldn't leave, and after listening to Zhou Yue's words, they also had a bottom in their hearts, and they concentrated on the affairs of the villa.

Zhou Yue's carriage drove out of the villa for about an hour and suddenly came down: "Lord Shizi, it seems that the carriage of Mai Yonghe of Yifeng Villa is in front, he doesn't want to tell Xiao Huan's father and mother about Tongbei County!" ”

What a stupid uncle of your own! Zhou Yue rubbed his forehead vigorously and told him that it was possible that this Mai Yonghe was picked up by the Mai Wan couple! Brainless, impulsive, and incompetent.

was stopped by An Ying and got out of the carriage, and Mai Yonghe, who looked anxious, came over to ask Zhou Yue for peace.

"Are you planning to go to the villa to tell Uncle Mai, Aunt Mai, Xiaohuan and her second brother that something may have happened?"

Mai Yonghe nodded, how could such a big thing be hidden from his father!

A sucker! Zhou Yue asked him, what can Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua do if they know, in addition to being frightened, what role can his news play?

You can't say nothing!

"You come with me to the front to take a look, instead of worrying Uncle Mai and Aunt Mai in vain, let's do something practical, go over to help, and strive to open the road as soon as possible!"

It's like...... Seem...... There is a little bit of truth, and even if he wants to leave, he can't do it, several guards with knives are in front, what can he do to fight them!

Witnessing the tragic situation on the road from Pingliang County to Tongbei County, Zhou Yue's heart sank little by little, and he and Huo Dong commanded people to repair the road while praying that nothing would happen to his bad girl. When he couldn't sleep at night, he sat alone on high ground and looked at the direction of Tongbei County, blaming himself over and over again why he didn't catch up with Mai Xiaohuan in the first place, even if there was an accident, even if something happened, he was willing to bear it with her, even if he was willing to go to Huangquan together.

The refined and noble people of the past have become no different from ordinary people, walking in the mud and water, even if they are dirty, they can't take care of it. He had only one thought now, and that was to open the way as soon as possible, and he was going to go to the person who had tormented him physically and mentally, and tell her that he was never allowed to leave him again, and that the two of them would never be separated again.

Even if everyone in the world is against them being together, Zhou Yue would rather give up everything he has than stay with the person in his heart. He has never seen his mind so clearly as he does now, fame, fortune and status have become unimportant at the moment, as long as God lets Mai Xiaohuan live and let himself meet her again, he is really willing to give up everything.

After two days of rushing repairs day and night, the road still has not been opened, and I can already see the appearance of Tongbei County from afar, and I can also see that the situation inside is really more severe than An Ying and himself imagined. Zhou Yue's throat was hoarse, his mouth was also foaming, and he even had a fever, everyone advised him to rest, I am afraid that if he continues like this, he will fall ill and lie down tired.

Zhou Yue supported his body, still commanded everyone to work, and he also took out the silver to buy fish and meat for the people, so that everyone could eat and drink well and speed up the progress in the future.

When Huo Dong mobilized everyone, he praised Zhou Yue as a royal example who cared about the people, and the people also thought the same, Lord Qincha set an example, how could they fall behind!

A new day's work began, and at noon, someone ran over from a distance and shouted: "The road from Mingle County to Tongbei County has been opened." ”

Zhou Yue stood up suddenly, handed over the place to Huo Dong to command, took his own people and Mai Yonghe into the carriage, made a detour to Mingle County, and rushed to Tongbei County, which was full of ruins and broken walls.

Little bad, I'm coming!
