The flood was raging, and the torrential rain was pouring in.

The rumbling flood, like the most ferocious yellow dragon, roared and swept across the earth.

Click!

There was another flash of lightning and thunder, the levee burst, the wall collapsed, and the house collapsed. The people who fled for their lives cried for their fathers and mothers, and their lives were like ants.

Five Estuary.

At the junction of Huzhou and Jiangzhou, at the confluence of five large and small rivers, the water level is soaring and the waves are turbulent.

A huge fleet of ships with the Ming and Yellow Dragon flags carried the torrential rain, like a giant whale, blocking the wind and waves in the harbor. Only then did the merchant fishing boat, which was like a small fish and shrimp, have a chance to escape death and return to Hong Kong safely.

Countless merchants and fishermen who survived looked up at the soaking and wet "Han" character flag on the dragon boat, wiped a handful of cold rain on their faces, and kowtowed with tears of joy for the rest of their lives.

But the owner of the boat watched the natural disasters and tragedies that the river swelled and poisoned the world, and he was not half relieved to save people, but only deeply anxious.

With such a natural disaster, how can the father and emperor who are far away in the capital clean up?

Suddenly, a little gray-green surfaced on the surface of the turbulent river.

Petite, effeminate.

Not far from the huge dragon ship that was about to return to port and anchor, it was still a plaything that had fallen into the hands of the flood dragon.

It only takes a gentle wave to make it lose its belly.

Many people saw it, but they didn't want to say anything.

Because that gray-green is the color of a local rush dyed cloth, it is always worn by ordinary people.

The identity of the person who fell into the water can be imagined.

The lives of the poor are not valuable, but those men who don't want to speak up are also other people's fathers, sons, husbands and brothers. With a family on his body, who would dare to give up his life easily?

At this time, even the boss of the boat with the best water nature does not dare to boast that he can get out of the waves.

Some people would even rather believe that it wasn't a person, it was just a tree!

Seeing that little bit of green, like a small leaf that withered prematurely, was about to be swallowed up by the flood, a young man rushed out of the big boat with the Ming and Yellow Dragon Flag.

He ran all the way, tearing off his gorgeous brocade robe all the way and kicking his flying brocade boots. Wearing only snow-white clothes, like a swimming dragon, with unhesitating determination and courage, he jumped high from the bow of the three-story building!

It was so fast that people only had time to glance at the golden crown of hair on his head, and the bright yellow arc drawn in the lightning, and the young man in white fell into the river like a little white dragon, and grabbed the little green that should not have withered prematurely!

The entire port fell silent, and then an earth-shattering shout erupted.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

"Save people, save people!"

On the wharf, several officials who had just received the news, wearing official robes, braved the pouring rain, and hurried to greet them, were dumbfounded.

The boss who was the leader even fell down.

"King Han!"

"Your Highness!"

But the boatmen around him couldn't hear this.

They were inspired by the courage of the young man in white!

Even nobles are willing to sacrifice their lives to save civilians, how dare they spare their lives?

The power of example is endless.

The boatmen jumped into the river and gathered around the boys. On the huge dragon boat, dozens of ropes and driftwood were thrown down in an instant, and many guards who were good at water were sliding down.

And the little green leaf that was caught by the young man, the little beauty of the Lin family couldn't hear anything clearly, and she couldn't see it.

After struggling in the water for a long time, she only felt extremely sleepy, tired, and tired.

Even the vaguely aware hand that grabbed her was not very wide and strong. But she just wanted to sleep for a while, even if she could have a moment of respite.

Then she fell asleep.

This year, it was the Great Yan Dynasty, and it was May of the sixth year of Chengping.

It's just over the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is still an ordinary afternoon with the fragrance of zongye mugwort.

After intermittent and several days of heavy rain, dozens of counties and counties in Huzhou, where Xiaomeiniang's hometown is located, were flooded by torrential rains, and the embankments burst and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured.

In some low-lying areas, even entire villages were destroyed, and no one was spared.

The twists and turns of reporting for help flew to the capital like snowflakes.

The Son of Heaven on the dragon chair, the fifth successor of the Great Yan Dynasty, Emperor Yan Cheng. Unexpectedly, in the sixth year of his accession to the throne, he encountered such a great flood that had not been encountered in a century.

Busy with three sins have been edicted, personally presided over the sacrifice to the heavens, and prayed for forgiveness. He also urgently ordered the local government to open warehouses and release grain to help the people.

Of course, he also hurriedly sent an urgent envoy from the palace, six hundred miles to Huzhou, to visit his most beloved eldest son, the King of Han.

……

At the beginning of April, the wild peach trees on the back slope have passed their flowering period. The ground is full of red, and it is in ruins.

Under the tree, after a year of marriage, Sister Juan, who has been widowed for a year, has a high fever and cries with her little beauty.

“…… I worked as a needlework in my mother's house for ten years, and I didn't get a penny when I got married! When the house was built that day, he said that he would always have a room for me, but now why can't he even enter the door? ”

The words weep blood, and the spine stings.

The little beauty who will turn twelve is uncomfortable, but she doesn't understand why Aunt Zhou, who always says that she is worried about her daughter, wants to turn away Sister Juan, who is so sick.

Even, she didn't give her a sip of water.

The beautiful girl couldn't bear it, so she took the dime of silver she had saved by doing needlework and asked Sister Juan to go to see the doctor.

When she returned home, Lin Fang, who has always been kind to others and considerate and reasonable, was quite disliked.

"If you are so sick and run back in such a hurry, why don't you want to think about how difficult it is for your mother's family? In case the illness passes, how can it be good? And how do people think of her in-laws! ”

Although the beautiful girl is young, she is also ignorant and thinks it is wrong.

If this person is going to get sick, is he in a hurry or not? It's not a fairy, who can pinch their fingers in advance to count the day?

As for sickness, isn't it just that a family should take care of each other?

Like her mother was sick last winter and had a bad cough, isn't she waiting?

But think about it again, at that time, my mother really didn't call my father and brother to come forward, saying that she was afraid that she would be too sick and affect their study. Even at night, I slept in the beautiful lady's hut. also took her hand, saying that her daughter was the most intimate.

Then her mother, why aren't you afraid of being sick and angry with her?

As for Sister Juan's mother-in-law's family, the beautiful girl is not familiar with her, and she can't say whether it's good or bad. If a person loses his life, what do he care about what others do to his in-laws?

Only the beautiful lady has always been supple and accustomed, and her mother said this, and she didn't refute it.

At this time, her mind was sober for a while, confused for a while, and fragmented flashes one scene after another, which reminded her of many details that she hadn't noticed before.

Niang was unhappy that day, probably not because of the side, but because she gave Sister Juan a dime of silver, right?

She had been saving that dimes of silver for a long time.

When she took it out, the beauty girl was quite reluctant.

Since she was seven or eight years old, every time she could earn dozens of dollars by doing needlework, her mother would give her three or five yuan, saying that the big money was collected for her, and the small money was given to her own pocket money.

The beautiful lady was reluctant, and she put them all in the small jar at the head of the bed.

Her mother was also happy when she looked at it, praising her daughter for being able to live a life and be diligent and thrifty.

When she saved too much, her mother said that she was afraid that the money would be lost, so she would change a small silver horn.

But the beautiful girl saved more than 300 yuan, but her mother only changed her for a silver horn of less than two dollars, and nearly half of it was missing.

"Sister, good sister!"

"Don't believe them, they're all liars, liars!"

"Don't live like your sister, don't do it!"

……

The little beauty woke up in a dream, only to feel that her head and body were covered with cold sweat. It seems that the ears are still echoing the mournful cry of Sister Juan before she left.

But why did she suddenly dream about this?

The memories before being swept up in the flood were instantly recalled.

The little girl lowered her dark eyes and swept away the sourness.

When the flood hit, she was the first to wake up and called her mother and brother to flee for their lives.

She didn't forget to bring a wooden basin again, for fear that someone would fall into the water, so she could survive.

But when she was swept into the flood in order to help her brother who slipped and fell into the water, her mother, her brother, would only hold hands and stand on the shore to call for help.

And seeing that she was about to be swept away by the flood, the wooden basin in her mother's hand that was tightly held did not let go of half a minute......

Squeak,

There was a soft thud and the door opened.
