After lunch, a familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears. "Big sister! Father! I'm back! ”

Zhang Xiaodie flew in happily, which made everyone happy! Immediately surrounded her, and asked, "Are you okay?" What about Second Master He? How did these ** live? ”

Zhang Xiaodie survived the catastrophe, not to mention how excited she was, "It's all right!" Isn't it just rolling in the river, hehe! If it weren't for Second Master He catching me, maybe I would have gone to the East China Sea to find the Dragon King! ”

"You stupid girl! What nonsense! Zhang Facai wiped his tears and knocked his daughter with a chestnut, "You have a small fortune, can you go to see the Dragon King?" ”

Zhang Xiaodie rubbed her forehead in pain, "Dad! Am I not amusing you? ”

She was in pain, and she was wronged, so she burst into tears, "You don't know how scared I am when I fall into the water!" Later, Second Master He rescued me, and we rushed to an unknown place, just such a palm-sized piece of land, surrounded by water, and I couldn't see a side, which was almost scared to death! There will be a dead pig floating on the water. A dead rabbit and a poisonous snake will float in a while! I almost squeezed into our place, but fortunately, I saw it with a sharp eye, so I let Second Master He drive it away. We were there last night, and we didn't even dare to put our eyelids together! It's easy to wait for dawn before Uncle He brings someone out of us! ”

When everyone heard her say that she was dangerous, they were all frightened. Zhang Qingting remembered Zhao Chengcai, and his heart seemed to be pressing a thousand catties of boulder, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

She couldn't bear to listen anymore, so she stepped forward to give it to He Yutang, and he waved his hand, "In this way, it is the duty of people to watch and help each other." Mrs. Zhao, Sister Ling has been sent back safely, and I have to go back to arrange our family's affairs. Leave! ”

He hurriedly took people away, and Zhang Xiaodie wiped her tears and said, "It's really fortunate that we have a big life and a horse to pick up a small life!" When we were trapped in that water, I saw people float past us! It's a pity that it's far away and can't be found, and now I don't know whether it's dead or alive. ”

Fang Mingzhu stabbed her hard, desperately making her eyes, "How can you be so unlucky?" Surely it can be saved! ”

"That's not good! God knows where it went. Zhang Xiaodie didn't know it, and still said there, "Those two people passed by us with a piece of wood, and I saw that they were also wearing the same scarves as their brothers-in-law, so they are also scholars." I just don't know how to be so unlucky. Also fell into the water! ”

What the? Everyone's eyes widened, "Say it again!" ”

Zhang Xiaodie was frightened, what's wrong?

Zhang Facai pulled his daughter, "Think about it, where were they washed away?" ”

Fang Mingzhu told the truth, "Brother-in-law and Li Gong fell into the water yesterday in order to save their lives, and they haven't been found yet!" ”

Yes? Zhang Xiaodie was shocked, "It's strange that I said that the voice of that person calling for help sounds so familiar!" It's just that the rain is so heavy that you can't see it really. Oh, my God! That's brother-in-law? ”

Zhang Qingting's face was cautious, "Fluttershy, think about it, where did those two people go?" Even if it's not your brother-in-law, we should save it! ”

Zhang Xiaodie immediately said, "Is there a boat?" I'll take you there! ”

asked her to change into a set of clean clothes, Zhang Qingting immediately took her sister to Li's house, and as soon as she told Master Li about the situation, everyone's hearts were raised.

"Miss Fluttershy, do you see clearly? The place where they fell into the water is a long way from you! How did it rush to you? ”

Zhang Xiaodie was only sure that what she saw was two people wearing square scarves.

Qing Song also called back, and he felt that it was very likely to be Zhao and Li. "We're just trying to find the downstream where they fell into the water, but it's possible that a current of water rushes up and sweeps them away. There aren't many readers in Zaranburg, and there are only two of them, if Fluttershy sees a reader, then there's a good chance that they're them! ”

Then what else is there to say, hurry up and find someone! drove the boat to the place where Zhang Xiaodie fell into the water, followed the direction she pointed, and looked down.

Zhang Qingting saw that the water downstream had flooded over the top of the tree, and many small animals rushed out of the water, and they picked up the treetops according to their instincts, and when they saw people passing by, they wailed and begged for help, which was very pitiful. But in the ocean, where are Zhao Chengcai and them?

Suddenly, Qing Song's brows furrowed, signaling everyone to be quiet and listening to what sounds. After listening for a while, his eyes lit up, and he resolutely pointed to the southeast, "There are people there!" I hear someone blowing leaves! ”

Master Li also went out in person, and his face immediately changed, "My Jiahong also blew leaves when he was a child!" ”

And who wouldn't blow this? But others are not good at attacking him, and since there are people, no matter who they are, they must always be saved. The crowd rowed the boat in that direction, and the closer they got, the more they listened. But the sound of blowing leaves was intermittent, and it seemed that there was no strength left. At this time, if you fall into the water again, you will really not be saved.

The green pine stood on the bow of the ship, carrying the qi of the dantian, and roared to the sky. It's a pity that he was also tired enough to choke, and his strength was not continuous, and he coughed violently at that sound.

But that's enough! I only heard the sound of the leaves louder and more urgent, as if I knew that someone was coming, urging them to pass.

Zhang Qingting couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly over to see what was going on, could it be Zhao Chengcai? Could it be them?

Suddenly, a familiar blue color appeared in Zhang Qingting's field of vision, "It's them!" It's really them! That's the new clothes I made for him! Zhao Chengcai! ”

On a lone treetop in the water, there are two people hanging clearly. The one in white on the left is Li Hong, and the one in blue on the right is not Zhao Chengcai?

Zhang Qingting was so excited that tears fell straight down, and Master Li suddenly cried bitterly, "Hong! Daddy is here! Son! ”

The boat rowed faster, and rushed forward like an arrow off the string. Seeing that it was less than a meter, suddenly the waves hit the ground, and the treetops shook a little, and both of them fell into the water.

The people on the boat were so frightened that they screamed, and Qing Song's eyes were good. "They're fine, they're all tied to the tree with belts!" "But it's already crumbling and can't hold it anymore.

Everyone struggled forward, and even Zhang Qingting and the others squatted down, pulling the water with their hands, trying to do their best.

Ten steps, five steps, step ...... It's finally here!

The two of them on the tree were embarrassed, there was no blood on their lips, their eyes were scattered and weak, and when they saw them, Li Hong only moved his lips. called "Dad", closed his eyes, and fainted.

Zhao Chengcai looked at Zhang Qingting and barely squeezed out a smile, "You're here!" "The same unconscious.

Master Li and Zhang Qingting cried as they hugged their lost relatives, but the tears at this time were the joy of reunion!

They cried so much that others were sad. Qing Song rubbed his eyes and ordered, "Hurry up and send them back first!" Let's look further downstream, and maybe we can save some people! ”

The news that the two husbands who had been lost for a day and a night were successfully recovered quickly spread in the township, which made the surname feel uplifted! Since you can get it back after losing it for so long, what about the others? Can it be recovered?

People who were about to despair rekindled their confidence, more ships joined the search team, and the search range became larger and larger, and people's desire to survive in desperate situations was always extremely strong, and they really found many lost relatives.

But at this time, the initial joy of the Li and Zhao families to save their relatives was washed away at all, and was shrouded in gloom and misery.

The two of them were rescued, but when they were soaked in the flood for a long time, they were cut and injured by the branches and leaves floating in the water in many places on their bodies, ulcerated and swollen, and developed a high fever, which was in danger.

The doctor came to see Zhao Chengcai, and only said one sentence, "Whether this can pick up a life or not depends on himself." ”

"Doctor! You'd like to figure it out! Zhang Qingting's face turned white in fright, and he pulled the doctor's sleeve, "He came back alive, how could he not be saved?" ”

The doctor spread his hands, "I am a doctor, not an immortal, I can cure the disease but I can't save my life." Not to mention your father-in-law, even the situation of the Li family's father-in-law is also not optimistic, and it is the same thing to look at his doctor. They have been soaking in the flood for a long time, and they can survive with one breath. But when he is rescued, this breath will be dispersed, and if a person can't survive it, half of it will depend on whether he is strong enough to die, and half of it can only be resigned to fate! ”

Zhao Wang pounced and knelt down for the doctor. The old man burst into tears, "Doctor, you are doing well!" Save my family! ”

The doctor hurriedly helped her up, "It's not that I can't save her when I die, I, as a doctor, must tell you the truth!" I've prescribed the medicine here, so don't bother me with the trouble and delay the work, and quickly ask someone to go with me to catch the medicine and pour it into him. Now I don't know how many people outside are injured and rely on us to heal, I really can't stay with them for a long time! Offended, offended! ”

He was about to leave with the medicine box on his back, Zhang Qingting cried like a tear, but his brain was not confused, knowing that what the doctor said was all the truth, "It's just, is there anything else we can do now?" I often hear that ginseng can hang his life, can it be useful to drink it to him? ”

The doctor shook his head, "Ginseng is a great tonic for people who have been sick for a long time, but now he is suffering from external injuries and internal stagnation, and no ginseng is used." But you can talk to him, and if you can get him to bring that breath up again, you will have half the life. If you can hold on to the sky and let this injury continue, your life will be saved. In the past few days, I will come to see every day, and we will do what I can do anyway. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You guys should be ready, it's good to rush." ”

He sighed and walked away. The room was crying, and Zhao Laoshi patted the bed, "My son, why are you so miserable!" Son, should we get our things ready? ”

What to prepare? Zhang Qingting was very angry, this person is still angry! Do you really have to prepare for the future? She didn't believe that Zhao Chengcai was so short-lived, and she couldn't get through it!

"What nonsense!" There were some words that Zhang Qingting couldn't say, and Zhao Wangshi roared out, "My family is good and decent, which door are you all crying about?" Who dares to cry again, don't say that I will pump him with the soles of my shoes! ”

She endured the grief in her heart and stared at everyone. Everyone accepted their cries, and they didn't dare to shed a single tear.

Zhang Qingting took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and resolutely stood on the side of Zhao Wang's family, "Mother-in-law is right!" Xianggong has nothing to do now, what are you crying for? If you have this time, you might as well do it quickly! I'll just keep you guarded here, so let's go! ”

"Daughter-in-law, the finished material will be handed over to you! You watch during the day, I'll come for you at night! "Zhao Wang's family took the lead and left.

When everyone retreated, Zhang Qingting held Zhao Chengcai's hand and tears rained down.

"Xiucai! Scholar! Do you really want to leave me?

How can you be so ruthless, so ruthless? I've just decided to tie the knot with you, don't you want anything? I know you've worked so hard in the rain, but if you've worked so hard, why can't you survive now?

If you go, what if you leave us alone? Who will take care of your father, your mother, and your brothers and sisters?

And me, I still have to do business after X, if I don't have you, how can I continue to do it as a woman? If I have another problem, who do you want me to talk to? What if someone comes to bully me again?

Don't think you can sleep here and pretend you don't know anything, I know you do! You must know it all! Then how can you be so ruthless and ignore me?

Zhao Chengcai, listen to me! If you die like this, I'll find someone to marry again!"

I don't care about any of you! Immediately drive Yulan home, and your mother, I don't care what she wants to do to repair the house! Don't think I'm joking, I can do what I say!

However, if you live, I promise you, will you be your mother? Really, be your mother.

Your family, no matter how annoying I am, I will get along with them for you.

If you want to support me to make my business bigger, I will also support you to study and improve, we are husband and wife, hand in hand, okay?

Do you remember that you made a vow before God, saying that you would hold the hand and grow old together? You've taken my hand now, so you can't break your word, you can't break your word! ”

Tears, like beads of broken threads, kept falling, wetting the bedding next to the pillow. Zhang Qingting held his hand tightly and put it on his cheek, "You touch it, it's all my tears!" How long are you going to make me cry? Get well soon! ”

Zhao Chengcai's face burned crimson, and he was silent.

At night, Zhao Wang's eyes were red and swollen, but in front of people, he was so strong that he didn't shed a single tear. Let Zhang Qingting go to sleep, she guarded by the bed.

Under the dim candlelight, the gray-haired mother was pulling the housework, and she also took incense to calculate the direction in the room, worshiped the gods of the Quartet, and shouted his soul, "Chengcai, come back!" Come back soon! ”

Zhang Qingting didn't feel funny, but felt sad. This mother-in-law is not good to herself, but at this moment, the hearts of the two of them are close.

personally cooked, cooked a can of millet porridge and served, "Mother-in-law, you have worked hard at night, if you are hungry, eat some of this mat to make up for it." ”

Zhao Wangshi nodded and took it, Zhang Qingting touched Zhao Wang's hand for the first time, it was a pair of rough, calloused hands, engraved with mottled years, not to mention Zhang Qingting's hands, even better than her feet, I don't know where to go. Zhang Qingting's heart throbbed, it was such a pair of hands that were not beautiful and gentle, feeding Zhao Chengcai and his family, if he didn't have time to enjoy a few days of Qingfu, let such a pair of hands come to the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, God is inevitably cruel!

With a heavy heart, Zhao Chengcai lay down on the small bed where Zhao Chengcai usually slept outside, and there seemed to be his smell left between the pillows. Zhang Qingting prayed silently in his heart: Xiucai, be as strong as your mother and come through, okay?

When I woke up the next day, it was already light. After two days and two nights of torrential rain, God finally mercifully cleared the clouds, and the sun couldn't wait to sprinkle ten thousand golden rays again!

Zhang Qingting stood outside the window and greedily looked at the bright sunshine, and even the heavy haze that pressed on his heart dissipated a lot.

The door of the inner room was not closed, and Zhao Wang sat on the chair next to the bed, already asleep. Although she couldn't bear it, Zhang Qingting still woke her up, "Mother-in-law, why don't you just sleep outside for a while, be careful of catching a cold!" ”

Zhao Wang woke up, rubbed his tired eyes, and looked at his son first, "This is much better than yesterday!" ”

Regardless of whether what she said was the truth or not, at this moment, Zhang Qingting believed it and wanted to echo it, "It's much better, Xianggong will definitely be fine!" ”

The doctor came and went, and his face remained the same. Without further ado, it's still the same prescription, no change. Zhang Qingting's heart sank, but he didn't ask any more.

It was almost the middle of the day, Qingbai came on purpose, "Mrs. Zhao, this is the trauma medicine we brought from Beijing, and it is effective to reduce swelling and stasis!" ”

Since Zhang Qingting helped him put down Meng Zhan yesterday, Qingbai's complexion was much better for her, and she had a few more words, "We also have just such a bottle, or my old man defended himself before leaving." This half master said to you, and I have to send the remaining half to Li Xiucai. Don't look at the small amount, you just need to pick a little hairpin, melt it in a bowl of cold boiled water, scrub the wound again and again, and wrap it up every day! ”

When Zhang Qingting saw the goose-yellow note on the small jade bottle, he knew that it was used internally, and it should be extremely precious, so he hurriedly took a clean bottle and accepted half of it, and sent him away with a thousand thanks.

Afraid that others would be unstable, she concocted it herself according to the law, and she didn't care about being ashamed, so she took a clean handkerchief, first washed the medicine off Zhao Chengcai's wound, and then smeared the potion, and when she changed the dressing in the afternoon, she saw that the red, swollen and ulcerated wound had obviously disappeared a lot.

In the evening, Zhao Wangshi came to take over and saw it, he was very happy, a few words of blessing from God and Buddha, and thanked the county lord for his goodness. In the middle of the night, she scrubbed her son again, and when Zhang Qingting got up in the morning to see, the wound was better.

The doctor came over to check the pulse again, and his face finally softened, "What kind of medicine are you using?" It works! If you continue like this, your life will be saved! ”

Zhang Qingting was afraid of causing trouble for Meng Zhan, so he only said that it was an ancestral bag of medicine, which had been left there for many years, and he didn't know if it would work, so he took it out to try his luck. As for Fang, it has long been lost.

The doctor regretted it for a long time, and this time he prescribed medicine again, and the prescription changed, Zhang Qingting saw that the heat and poison on the top had been reduced, and some solid foundation Peiyuan had been added, and he knew that Zhao Chengcai's body had improved, and his heart was a lot more stable.

As soon as the rain stopped, the water began to slowly recede. Families are busy cleaning and rebuilding their homes.

Zhang Qingting followed the raft back to his horse farm to take a look, Zhang Jinbao and they were talking happily, but looking at their tired faces, they knew that they had been living a very hard time here these days. I want to find someone to replace him, but my own family is so tired that people are turning over on their backs, and they really can't make a move.

Yan Bo relieved her heart in turn, "It's just five days' work, it's good if the water recedes, and you don't have to worry about it." It's just that the stable has been soaked softly, and I'm afraid that it will collapse as soon as the water recedes, but now it is important to quickly raise money to build a house and buy food! ”

Zhang Qingting also knew in his heart that there were still two suites in the alley, and it would be good if they were all rented out. But after this disaster, who will come and rent a new house?

When she returned home, she realized that her worries were really unnecessary.

As soon as the sky cleared, Fang's house was crowded with people rushing to come and rent a room. There is no other reason, in this great flood, only this new alley was not affected at all, on the other hand, the old alley at the back, but there are losses of different severity, so those shop owners are willing to come to the new alley to rent a house, and everyone is afraid that there will be a good one, and it will be worth the loss.

Fang Dehai was getting a headache from a large number of people, just when Zhang Qingting came back, "Girl, how do you see this?" ”

Some people say, "Just compete for the price, the one with the highest price wins!" Isn't it ten or two months in your house? I'm willing to give eleven taels! ”

"I'll give twelve taels!"

"I'll give fifteen taels!"

……

"Don't panic, everyone!" Zhang Qingting raised his hand and signaled, "Listen to me say a fair word!" Now that everyone has suffered, if we rely on the good place to raise the rent price of the new hutong, it will not be kind! And it is not fair to you. ”

Everyone was surprised that she, as the boss, could say such thoughtful words.

Zhang Qingting is also obedient to Zhao Chengcai, the money has to be earned, but the people's hearts have to be bought, "So I have an idea here, tell everyone about it!" ”

"Xiucai Niang, just say it quickly!"

Zhang Qingting smiled slightly, "I know that everyone sincerely wants to come to rent a house, and they are all villagers, and there is no such thing as distant relatives." If it is given to your home, but not to his home, it is unacceptable. It's not as good as this, the rent price of this house is still the same as other houses, but these two places have to depend on everyone's luck, let's draw lots to decide. How is it? ”

"Good!" Everyone applauded, "In the end, it's a talented girl, and her heart is really fair!" ”

When the pearl below did a lot, everyone took one, and it was clear who the flowers were on the spot, even if they didn't rent it, they had no objections, but they praised Zhang Qingting's people.

After receiving the money, Fang Dehai took the opportunity to teach his granddaughter a lesson, "Have you seen it?" You have to be a person in advance, and there are still a lot of things you want from your eldest sister! ”

After another two days, Zhao Chengcai finally crawled back from the ghost gate.
