Zhao Ying, who was thousands of miles away, did not care about the affairs of the court, and he was worried about the construction of the canal at this time. Originally, the construction of the canal was going smoothly, but suddenly it rained heavily, and this rainstorm fell for three days in a row, and the canal that had finally been repaired to a certain scale was washed away in an instant, and the water level of the flood also rose, if the rain did not stop, I am afraid that it would flood the mountains.

"How good is this, these days of hard work have been in vain!" Cheng Yuanzheng's brows were tightly locked, the look on his face was very gloomy, he looked at the gloomy sky, and his eyes seemed to be eager to drag the thunder male and electric mother down.

"If it doesn't work like this, we have to speed up our actions, I'm afraid that the rain won't stop for a while, and if it doesn't flood again, I'm afraid this mountain won't last long." Zhao Ying's originally smooth chin was covered with blue stubble, he almost only slept for two hours a day in the past few days, and he was busy with flood control all day long, and the whole person lost more than one circle.

Cheng Yuanzheng also agrees with Zhao Ying's idea, but at present, there is a shortage of manpower, new supplies have not yet arrived, even if he has the heart to repair the canal, he does not have the strength, there is no sandbag that can stop the water, and no matter how many ideas there are, they are all utopian.

Just when the two of them were worried, a timid voice sounded.

"There are a lot of rattan hemp on the back mountain, and rattan hemp can also absorb water."

Zhao Ying turned around when he heard this, and met the pair of wet deer-like eyes.

Cheng Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with excitement.

"How I didn't remember Fujima! Yes, rattan hemp is no weaker than sandbags, and there are vine hemp almost everywhere in the surrounding mountains! Luran, you've really helped us a lot! ”

The woman who was called Lu Ran showed a shy smile to Cheng Yuanzheng, and she turned her head slightly to look at Zhao Ying secretly.

"What are you talking about?"

Cheng Yuanzheng explained with a smile on his face. Rattan hemp is a unique plant in Ling'an, the rhizome has a strong ability to absorb water, and the leaves are very tough, the people of Ling'an use rattan hemp to weave baskets for storage on weekdays, which is both moisture-proof and durable.

Zhao Ying's eyes lit up after hearing this, he discussed with Cheng Yuanzheng, and immediately decided to replace the sandbag with rattan hemp, and then Cheng Yuanzheng went down to arrange for people to weave rattan and hemp by hand.

After Cheng Yuanzheng left, Zhao Ying remembered Lu Ran beside him, he looked at the slender figure in front of him with a smile, and said with a smile: "The morning dew is clear, the bright and bright, Lu Ran, it's really a good name, but your father gave it to you?" ”

Lu Ran raised her head when she heard the sound, her eyes were watery, and she said with a slight red face: "Daddy specially asked the teacher in the city to get a name." ”

Lu Ran's voice was very low, but it was very pleasant, as clear as a clear spring in the mountains and forests, and Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel a little more kind in his heart.

"Do you know Cheng Yuanzheng? He seems to know you. ”

"Brother Cheng has a good relationship with my brother." Lu Ran's face darkened a little, thinking that he remembered that his brother was sad in his heart.

Zhao Yingjian provoked Lu Ran's sadness, and his face was a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly and said, "How is the injury on your shoulder?" He still remembered the bloodshot wound on her shoulder the other day.

Lu Ran's face suddenly turned red, and she stumbled back: "The adult's ointment is very, very effective, the injury doesn't hurt anymore, thank you." ”

Zhao Ying also remembered the embarrassment of that day when he saw Lu Ran's shy appearance, the girl's fair and round shoulders were vivid, his eyes flashed slightly, and he turned around and left quickly while saying that he was going to find Cheng Yuanzheng's affairs, which was quite a bit of a desert and escaped.

Seeing this, Lu Ran couldn't help but chuckle lowly, and her eyes were bent into two pairs of crescents, which was very gratifying.

However, at this moment, the originally drizzling light rain suddenly became heavier, and the raindrops hit his face painfully, Lu Ran bit his lip, picked two wide leaves and chased after Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying looked gloomily at the flood under the mountain at this time. Cheng Yuanzheng also looked worried.

"Tiger! My tiger! Suddenly, a terrible scream sounded, Zhao Ying followed the sound, and saw a boy rolling down the mountain, seeing that he was about to fall into the flood, the crying woman wanted to jump forward, but was dragged by the people around her, crying heartbreakingly.

Zhao Ying's heart sank, and he immediately ran towards the boy.

"No adults!" Cheng Yuanzheng was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Ying, but he didn't even touch his sleeve.

Zhao Ying had only one thought in his mind at this time, which was "hurry up, hurry up".

The boy's cry made Zhao Ying's heart sink more and more, and he ran towards the boy with all his might. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the mountain road was already rugged, and it was even more muddy at this time.

Everyone was amazed when they saw this, and it was when Lu Ran came that she saw this scene, her face turned pale, and she directly threw away the wide leaves on her head to block the rain, and ran straight towards Zhao Ying's figure.

Zhao Ying's body was in severe pain at this time, and he tried to adjust his position and jumped forward to finally grab the boy's arm, but the people on the mountain became more and more panicked, because the two of them were only a few meters away from the flood water at this time.

Zhao Ying caught a glimpse of the broken branch on the side, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, which fixed the bodies of the two, but Zhao Ying's heart was not easy, he was holding the broken branch with one hand and the boy's arm with the other, the broken branch was not strong enough, I am afraid that it would not last long, Zhao Ying could feel that the rhizome of the broken branch was constantly declining, if it continued like this, I am afraid that both of them would fall into the flood.

"Don't be afraid, I'll save you." Zhao Ying gritted his teeth and shouted to the crying boy. With great difficulty he lifted the boy up and placed him on top of the broken branch, and the boy gradually stopped crying, but he continued to sob.

Zhao Ying smiled at him, then let go of his hand and let his body fall down.

"Your Excellency!" The shouts of the people were mixed with cries, Zhao Ying closed his eyes, but there was a faint smile on his lips, he did not regret his choice. At this moment he felt his hand being grasped, and he opened his eyes suddenly, facing the wet eyes, but at this time those eyes were full of determination and determination, without the slightest timidity or retreat.

"Lu Ran! Silly girl......"

Zhao Ying's heart was shocked, and he was swallowed up by the flood before he finished speaking. The two figures disappeared into the flood. Zhao Ying, who was in the flood, only felt that he was weak, and his original struggling movements gradually stopped, but his hand was always tightly grasped by a small but warm hand.

A second before his consciousness completely disappeared, Zhao Ying's heart felt a little regretful.

"It would be nice to say thank you to her, and besides, she looks really good when she smiles, but it's a pity, I'm afraid I'll never see her again." This was his last thought, and then Zhao Ying fell into darkness and silence completely.
