The rainy season in May came extra early this year, and the heavy rain of several days seemed to be raging in the city endlessly, and the raindrops of beans fell down like pillars of rain, and the water columns falling under the eaves were like a curtain of crystal beads, hitting the banana leaves under the porch, rustling, making people feel disturbed.

It rained heavily for several days and immersed the capital in rainwater, and the whole person felt wet in the house, as if he had just come out of the steam room, which made people feel very sad.

After a few days of rain, even the price of vegetables in the capital has risen several times, not to mention rice grain, Shen Qingwu's store has always had the habit of storing grain, plus the fresh vegetables brought back by Ji Beichen's fleet, her store has not been affected much.

The city was flooded in time and the people were not affected much, but the outskirts of the city had already begun to suffer from the torrential rains, and large fields were already soaked in rainwater, and the wheat that was about to be harvested in May was now soaked in the rain and waiting to be moldy and rotten, and the hearts of the tenants were dripping blood.

Early in the morning, the sound of dripping outside the house continued, Shen Qingwu didn't need to open his eyes to know that it was still raining outside, Su Ge and Su Xin took the dried clothes after listening to the movement inside, and then dressed and washed for Shen Qingwu, "This day, yesterday was another overnight rain, and if it continues like this, it will not flood the entire capital, I heard that a big flood has been launched in Jiangnan, God doesn't know what's wrong, why the rain doesn't seem to stop." ”

Su Xin pulled her hair for Shen Qingwu, looking at the continuous rain outside, she was also bored in her heart, the clothes piled up in the Huan Wash Room recently were dried with carbon after the fire, and there was no sun-dried clothes on the body at all, those maids were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and the clothes of the masters were good to say, they were all about to wear on their bodies as if they were not dry, and they were really depressed.

"This morning, Ji Xiansheng sent a small cart of fresh vegetables, enough for the house to use for many days, I heard that Mr. Ji's horse team transported a lot of grain and vegetables in the distance to supply the shortage of rice and grain in Beijing, to prevent those black-hearted traders from sitting on the ground and raising prices, pit the people, I heard that there was a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Ji also opened a warehouse there to release grain, in the end it is a good family, so there is such a blessing, guarding so much gold and silver."

Su Ge scooped a bowl of boiled millet porridge and put it in front of Shen Qingwu, chatting with her, and praised Ji Beichen's good deeds.

After Shen Qingwu drank a bowl of porridge with the newly made salted eggs, he looked at the rain curtain outside in a daze, but saw Gu Jingfeng walking briskly with an oil-paper fan under the hazy water column in the sky, his steps were urgent, and the back of the robe had been wetted with a large piece, and after seeing Shen Qingwu, he smirked again.

"It's raining so hard, what are you doing when you run so fast, your body is wet with rain, what if you catch a cold, idiot." Su Singer quickly took the dry handkerchief and handed it to Shen Qingwu, Shen Qingwu stood on tiptoe to help Gu Jingfeng wipe the wet places on his body, and said angrily.

"The water situation in Gubei is urgent, and there are victims making trouble, the emperor sent me and Song Zhi to Gubei for disaster relief, I rushed to see you, and I didn't take care of a lot."

As soon as Gu Jingfeng grabbed Shen Qingwu's hand, he hugged it tightly with a smirk, and as soon as Shen Qingwu heard her words, his expression instantly froze, and he looked a little lost.

"Will you come with me?" At the moment when Shen Qingwu's lost heart was difficult to contain, Gu Jingfeng only raised the corners of his mouth and said to him, and then began to snicker with a stuffy chest, obviously he was deliberately teasing her just now.

"You ......" Shen Qingwu was annoyed, and his hand unconsciously raised to hammer on his body, but the man was too strong, and now he grabbed her, only hugged her tightly in his arms, and pecked her lightly in front of her forehead, "I know that you are reluctant to me, when the emperor decreed, I had already asked the emperor to take you with me, in order to comfort my lovesickness for many days, the emperor and father-in-law agreed, it depends on your daughter-in-law's meaning!" ”

Gu Jingfeng had a smile on his face, he couldn't stop sneering, Shen Qingwu pouted, although he was angry in his heart, he was still happy, at least this time he didn't have to worry about him at home every day, he went with him, no matter how hard and tired she was, she was not afraid.

Su Ge Su Xin helped Shen Qingwu sort out a few sets of clothes for daily use, brought some necessary spare medicines, and sorted out two or three burdens, Shen Qingwu took them out of the door together and got into the carriage.

The people and horses of the brigade had already set off after the emperor's order, Gu Jingfeng personally picked up Shen Qingwu and delayed it, but before sunset, he caught up with them, the road on the road was potholed and muddy due to the heavy rain for several days, Shen Qingwu sat in the car and kept shaking with the body, looking a little uncomfortable, but he only endured it and did not express it, only leaned on Su Ge's body with his eyes closed, closed his eyes and rested.

The rain outside is still raining unstoppable, until it is dark when it is already dark, the team of hundreds of people stopped in front of the post station, rested the team, and traveled here tomorrow, at that time, Shen Qingwu, who had been sitting in the car all day since the morning, was already pale because of dizziness, and did not even take a few mouthfuls of dinner, so she had already laid down on the bed to rest, and the moment she lay on the bed, she still felt that the world was spinning.

This is the first time that Shen Qingwu has suffered from motion sickness, and it is still a motion sickness......

Gu Jingfeng brought the boiled rice porridge and side dishes into the room in person, looked at Shen Qingwu with a sallow face, and couldn't help feeling distressed, "I knew you would be like this, I shouldn't have taken you out, I am afraid that this kind of road will only have to walk for three or five days before there is a smooth road, these three or five days ......"

"If you can let me accompany you, I won't feel hard, compared to staying at home and not waiting for your news, I am willing to follow you, I just haven't gotten used to it, and when I get used to it, it's good, don't keep wearing a bitter gourd face, compared to your marching and fighting, I still have a bed to sleep on and a quilt, which is already very good."

Shen Qingwu was afraid that he would send him back because he was worried that he would not be able to stand it, so he only quickly comforted Gu Jingfeng, and reluctantly smiled, making himself look in good shape.

"All these years, I seem to have been making you scared for me, marrying a man like me, you have suffered much more in your heart than I have come, right?"

The ever-bright lanterns in the White Horse Temple, the peace charms one by one, the Buddhist shrines in the house, one day when he was outside, Shen Qingwu prayed for himself for a day, he couldn't sleep and couldn't eat, Gu Jingfeng was distressed and gently rubbed Shen Qingwu's haggard face with his fingers, full of self-blame.

Shen Qingwu sat up from the bed obediently, drank half a bowl of porridge, and then lay down obediently, she was tired all day, in the company of Gu Jingfeng, it didn't take long for her to fall asleep, Su Ge and Su Xin watched Shen Qingwu fall asleep, and obediently withdrew from the room, Gu Jingfeng and Yi lay next to Shen Qingwu, and the two hugged each other and slept all night.

Until I got up early in the morning, the sound of rain outside gradually stopped, but the sky was still a piece of black pressure, and the team was in a hurry to get away with the carriage, this time Shen Qingwu learned to be obedient, and asked the steward of the post station early to come mint leaves under his sleeves, and occasionally when he was sad, he smelled the heart and refreshed his mind, and finally arrived at the next post station, his face was not pale, so that Gu Jingfeng, who had been worried about her all day, was much more relaxed.

In this way, it stopped for five or six days, and then arrived at Gubei, the destination of Gu Jingfeng's disaster relief, where the terrain was already low-lying, coupled with dozens of days of continuous heavy rain, half of the town with serious waterlogging has been submerged in a chaotic flood, the people are displaced, and a large number of helpless refugees gather in front of the county yamen and beg bitterly, waiting for the twice-daily soup soup kitchen.

Shen Qingwu sat in the carriage, passing by the refugees who were paralyzed on the side of the road, looking at the hungry old and weak women and children, and sighed in his heart.

"I heard that there was a tornado here not long ago, and the whole town of Nanxing Town was swept away by the wind, I don't know if I live or die, it looks like a waste village now, except for piles of corpses, I can't see anything else, this heavy rain, the most severely affected place is here, just looking at it feels weird, the child is hungry, and I don't know what the magistrates of Gubei are doing, so I don't care, and the general will come to run in person, such a person should be cut down early, in order to set an example."

In her childhood, Su Ge personally watched her hometown flood and the people could not survive, and finally fell to the point of selling her children and daughters, and now she is particularly emotional, Shen Qingwu patted her hand, hoping to comfort her a little, but at the same time, outside the swaying sedan curtain, there was already a skinny hand full of green tendons stretched out from the outside, full of dirty nails, so hard to pick up the door panel, and said sadly, "Miss is kind, enjoy some food, my baby has not eaten a full meal for a long time, and if you don't eat, you will starve to death soon!" ”

When the old man's voice came from outside, the carriage had already stopped, Gu Jingfeng drove the horse from the front of the team to the direction of Shen Qingwu, when Shen Qingwu came back from the frightened sound, he opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw an old man in ragged clothes who was still holding a child under the age of one, and the child who was waiting to be fed was sucking his fingers because he couldn't stop sucking his fingers, looking pitiful.

Gu Jingfeng gave the guard next to him a look, and the guard took a bag of clean water and two white-flour steamed buns from the cloth bag on the horse and handed them to the old man's hand, the old man saw that the two steamed buns were shining in his eyes, and suddenly threw away the child he was holding in his hand, and rushed forward directly, and with lightning speed, he used the broken tiles in his hand against Shen Qingwu's neck, and said in a trembling voice, "Put ...... Give me all the steamed buns in your bag, ...... Hurry up......"

The children on the ground were still crying heartbreakingly, but no one had time to care about the poor child, and the victims who were lying on the side of the road stood behind the old man at the moment when the old man choked Shen Qingwu's neck, and together with the old man, they wanted to coerce Gu Jingfeng to hand over all the food in their hands......
