(shortcutβ) (shortcutβ)
At the end of August, after the Yellow River flood, the weather was sunny for a few days, only the whole city of Zhengzhou was foggy, standing on the city wall to look at it, the sight was all traces of the water rolling, although it had been cleaned up many times, but still left out the dead bodies of weeds and animals, after a few days of exposure to the sun, the stench of decay was emitted, the people who came and went in ragged clothes and had a scorched and sad face did not even have the strength to cover their noses, there were resettlement points outside the four cities of Zhengzhou, and the food and rest and treatment were provided, which attracted the people who fled from the four fields to gather in the past.
With a muffled thunder, dark clouds gradually covered the sky, and the guards guarding the city looked up at the sky while guiding the victims who asked for help, and complained: "God, don't go down again!" But God obviously didn't listen to him, and after a while, the rain kept falling.
"The embankment has been raised, so it shouldn't flood again, right?" A thin soldier seemed to be talking to himself, his face was full of fear and sorrow, his family lived on the bank of the river, and he experienced the momentum of the breaking embankment, half of the family was swept away, he climbed to the big tree, and held a younger brother in one hand to save his life.
"The new master has been guarding for seven days in a row, and the people who have come back say that even if the flood comes again, it will be fine." The guards next to him patted him for comfort, while pointing to the people who came out of the city to support each other, "No, many people have gone home, rushing to plant in the autumn to save some food." β
"Can you keep the food? Aren't they all drowned? The little guard muttered with a blank look in his eyes.
"Scared, you don't know, where did our new master come from, it's Cheng'an." After shouting for a day, the dry-mouthed veteran guard slowly walked over, leaning against the city gate and looking at the gloomy Tiandao, "Thank God, I really sent a Qingtian master." β
When he said this, a team of horses came from outside the city, wearing a hat and a cloak for Zhu Wenqing on the horse, barefoot, and his trousers rolled up to his knees.
"Your Excellency is back!" The guards recognized the people, and they were so busy that they stood up, watching Zhu Wenqing gallop into the city with a group of officials, because it was raining again, which made the people in the city panic, and many big families had already made a little soft and ready to flee again.
"You all go home, comfort your relatives, and then go back to the state government in half a day!" Zhu Wenqing reined in the horse and ordered, watching everyone nod and answer the urging of the horse.
Zhu Wenqing, who returned to the state government, accepted the smile and tears of the family, the reserved wife wiped her tears, the white old lady held her hand, the son, daughter-in-law and grandson crowded together, and several concubines poured tea and water and changed clothes.
"I have come to tell you that now that the levees are repaired, and the flood will not come again, you should stay at home, and do not go out and about without permission, so as not to disturb the people." Zhu Wenqing drank the hot soup in one sip and warmed it up from head to toe.
"Master, don't worry." Mrs. Zhu said that she was busy setting up the meal, and since she came to Zhengzhou, the family was finally able to sit down and have a reunion dinner.
"Why don't you see the eldest lady of the Cao family?" Zhu Wenqing sat down and looked around, and suddenly asked.
The family looked at me, I looked at you, hesitated and didn't dare to speak, or Mrs. Zhu said: "Master, I was about to ask you, since I went out of the city with you that day, I haven't come back, why is she not with you?" β
Zhu Wenqing was shocked when he heard this, put down his chopsticks and said, "I have sent someone to escort her back." β
The family was suddenly panicked, and said to each other that there has been no news from Cao Niangzi for three days, which can frighten the family, the world is very chaotic after the disaster, robbers are rampant, don't be robbed, the guards who are messing outside heard it, and hurriedly ran in and said: "My lord, the little negligence, a few days ago, the second brother Zhang came back with a letter, saying that he was in the area of Liulin Township with the eldest lady, and the little one has been putting grain outside the city, and forgot to tell Mrs. β
The family breathed a sigh of relief, and had to train the little soldier before starting to eat, seeing that Zhu Wenqing still had doubts on his face, Mrs. Zhu said happily: "I have seen this way, the eldest lady is not the person who acts excessively, she is also very smart, and there are four or five people from Zhang Tang to protect her, so she must be fine." β
Zhu Wenqing nodded and said: "She is a woman's family after all, the area around Liulin Township has been seriously affected, and there will be serious illnesses after the disaster."
The old woman Zhu hurriedly took a few sips and said: "You have set up a hospital, and let the monks of the temples scatter everywhere, now the living in Zhengzhou can be eaten, the sick can be treated, and the dead can be buried, where is the serious illness!" The young man was talking nonsense and was about to vomit. β
Zhu Wenqing is already a grandfather, and he was said to be a young man by his mother, which caused the family to laugh, in order to ease his mother's heart, Zhu Wenqing took two sips, and the atmosphere finally became lively.
Before the meal was finished, a guard came to report that the adults in the capital had arrived, so panicked that Zhu Wenqing hurriedly changed his clothes and went out, and saw that there were seven tired adults sitting in the state hall, and they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and say some compliments about the rain clouds falling from the sky.
"No need to be polite, let's go out of the city to inspect quickly." The lord of the water supervisor said, seeing that Zhu Wenqing was busy making food again, he waved his hand and said, "I have eaten on the road." β
Zhu Wenqing was a little surprised, according to the previous way of walking, these uncles will not come to him until at least half a month later, and they have to eat and drink enough to walk along the city again, but today they have changed the style, thinking that they dare not slack off, and they hurriedly ordered the general judge and the army to come over, and watched the officials of the state government arrive immediately with the summoning, and the adults in the capital praised their faces.
"In this case, please lead the way, let's check the embankment first, and then visit the victims." The lord of the water prison said, putting on his coat and hat, and turned over on his horse.
Everyone hurriedly followed the horses and walked out of the city, Zhu Wenqing's eyes swept over the person, and when he didn't see the person, he asked with a smile: "My lord, the farmland in my state is seriously damaged, I don't know when Lord Liu will be able to come?" β
According to the news, Lord Liu Yanzhang is very popular all the way, and he is reluctant to let go wherever he goes, so the trip is very slow, seeing that the season of this autumn planting is over, he is really anxious, not that he doesn't believe in Lindsay Yu, but he has always thought that Lindsay Yu's skills are all thanks to Liu Xiaohu, no matter how good the apprentice is, it is not as reassuring as the master.
"Lord Liu has already arrived," someone said, making Zhu Wenqing very surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked, "Arrived?" How"
"We went to Liulin Township, and when Lord Liu saw that the disaster was serious, he saved those false courtesies, and stayed where to check the farmland, and I came to see the adults." The Ministry of Industry said with a smile, a look of admiration, along the way, his impression of this young boy has changed greatly, he is really a down-to-earth and hard-working young man, worthy of the emperor's favor.
Zhu Wenqing sighed, breathed a sigh of relief and said that it was so good, just swallowed this breath, suddenly brought it up again, and blurted out: "It's not good!" β
The raindrops fell quickly and slowly, even if she was wearing a hat and a coat, Lindsay Yu quickly wet the corners of her clothes, and a cool breeze blew, and she couldn't help but sneeze, which made the guards around her very worried.
"Big lady, it's not good, let's go back." The second brother of the guard, Zhang, was busy persuading.
Lin Saiyu was helping up the rice in the field full of wet mud, looking distressed, and then looking at the farmers standing around with red and swollen eyes, he couldn't help but shed tears, and said: "If it is in the seedling stage, there is still something to save, now pull it out." β
The surrounding farmers all covered their faces and nodded, they also knew, but they were unwilling to accept it, and listened to Lin Saiyu continue: "In the neighboring village, I have told them how to drain and prepare the land, you also go to see, buy some miscellaneous grains with a short growth period, such as beans, but the skin of the bean is thick and hard, the water absorption is poor, and it is not easy to sprout, you must remember to soak the seeds before sowing, and then be sure to plough the ground, now the humidity in the ground is too large, it is easy to cause root rot, remember to fertilize and sprinkle water, and plant some vegetables and vegetables such as amaranth, amaranth, fungus, artemisia, spinach and so on. Winter vegetables with a short growth period. β
She said carefully, everyone remembered it carefully with tears, and there was no shortage of humanitarians: "Big lady, you wait for us to plant before leaving." Lin Saiyu said that her heart was sour, and she looked at these men who had survived the catastrophe and nodded in response.
Followed the guards back to the shore, looking at her cracked mouth, Second Brother Zhang hurriedly took the kettle to her, and Lin Saiyu didn't care who used it, so he hurriedly took a few sips and said, "How many villages are there?" Let's take a look. β
Second Brother Zhang looked suspicious and said: "Big lady, we have been out for the past few days, and we haven't even eaten a full meal, and we have been squeezing and sleeping with the victims in the shed every day, can you stand it like this?" Why don't you go back and rest for a few days?"
Lin Saiyu looked at the land that had been soaked in big water, and said quietly: "We at least have food and can sleep."
Hearing Lindsay Yu say this, everyone had to hurriedly get on the horse and move forward, on the way out of the bag of dry food to eat, although Lindsay Yu saw the hungry victims on the side of the road to see, but in order to save his strength, this is the only two dry cakes a day, no matter what, can not be kindly let out, so I had to grit my teeth as if I didn't see, along the way is everywhere is broken walls, rags and branches of livestock corpses after the disaster deserted village, looking for two in succession, only to see the people, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the clothes and hats have been unable to stop the wet clothes, The rain fell along the heads and cheeks of the people.
"Big lady, this day is not good, let's rush back to the city, here is not as strong as the city, once the water comes, the lives of the villains are nothing, but don't dare to mistake the golden body of the big lady." Second Brother Zhang said loudly, looking at the people running around on the road.
Lin Saiyu was amused by his last sentence and said, "What a golden body, the same stinky skin." Looking at the sky, it was really not good, so I responded and urged the horse to go quickly with everyone.
Lin Saiyu only learned to ride a horse in the past few days, and it is not a problem to walk slowly, and when she runs fast, she is swayed upside down, and she is about to fall, and those guards are anxious in their eyes, but no one dares to propose to take her to ride with her.
"There is a settlement point for the imperial court!" Second Brother Zhang was overjoyed, pointing and shouting, at this time Lindsayyu's horse was walking in the mud, stepping on and slipping, and it was difficult to walk step by step, hearing this, the guards were overjoyed, and they couldn't wait to step over, and someone hurriedly whipped Lindsay Yu's horse's buttocks, and the horse was frightened and neighed and galloped towards the shed.
"Bold, who dares to rush into the imperial court!" In the heavy rain, more than a dozen officers and soldiers armed with spears poured out in front of the shed, and the horses that were not afraid of the madness came at all, and stabbed in unison.
"We are under the command of Lord Zhu Wenqing Zhu, the state government, and the adults are merciful." The guards who had caused the trouble shouted loudly, while urging the horses to come, with the neighing of the horses, the horse that Lindsay Yu was riding had been overturned, and the petite figure on the horse's back fell away, fortunately fell on the mat of the shed, slipped down and fell into the muddy water, and the spearhead of Qi Brush was immediately aimed at her.
Lin Saiyu was smashed, only felt that her back hurt, and she could hear the shouts of the second brother Zhang and other officials, and knew that the guards were fierce now, and they dared to cut her down as a robber immediately, and they hurriedly raised their hands and said: "I am, I am from the Zhengzhou officials."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a sound of footsteps, accompanied by a messy "Lord Liu, Lord Liu and stay in the shed" A pair of muddy boots that could not be seen in the primary color appeared in front of her, she raised her head, but it was a pity that the rain pouring from the sky covered her vision, and she couldn't see the appearance of the person clearly, only heard an exclamation in her ear: "Why are you here?"
