Chapter 135: Repentance

Within two quarters of an hour, the mudslide came madly, a large amount of sediment and huge stones carrying the water, and suddenly erupted, like a tiger descending the mountain, impacting down.

The families closest to Mingxi Mountain were the first to suffer, and before they had time to react, the houses were completely buried and washed away, and the people disappeared in an instant, and when they saw this scene from a little distance, they screamed in horror, and completely forgot An Xueling's words, and ran instinctively in the direction of the mudslide, but they were quickly caught up and buried in the blink of an eye.

All the houses and households distributed in this direction were not spared, and a few scattered families were lucky enough to escape the disaster, looking at the terrible scene in front of them, they were all frightened, desperate and crazy regretful, if they had heard An Xueling's words, it would not be such a scene!

By the time it was over, there was a mess near Mingxi Mountain, hundreds of houses had been washed away, and the number of dead and missing people was still incalculable.

Ke Hongda, the commander of Donghai County, immediately reported to the imperial court, and Emperor Wenzhao was furious when he heard the dragon face, this is still the biggest disaster since he ascended the throne, isn't this a sign from heaven that he is incompetent in his rule?

The crown prince Dongling Rui personally went to take charge of disaster relief, and when he saw the tragic scene in front of him, his face was blue and he was speechless for a while.

Ke Hongda stood cautiously on the side, sweating like rain.

He didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen, and when his men came down to report it, he thought it was a joke.

"What about the casualties?" Tanglin Rui frowned and asked.

"Back to the crown prince, a total of 162 corpses have been found today, more than 40 people whose lives are unknown, and more than 20 injured people." Ke Hongda bowed his head and reported.

The number is already quite staggering, those who have lost loved ones are wailing and crying, and the injured are groaning in pain, how miserable it is.

"Find." Tanglin Rui took a deep breath, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." ā€

"Yes."

"The injured were immediately given money and medicine, and it was important to treat the injuries first, and several imperial doctors brought by the palace to treat the wounded."

"Yes."

Seeing that he was not scolded, Ke Hongda breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took a few imperial doctors to treat the injured.

Tanglin Rui walked forward, there was mud and sand everywhere, it was difficult to get off his feet, and the people could only lie or sit on the mud because their houses were destroyed, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury to them.

After walking for a while, Tanglin Rui suddenly found a familiar figure, and he was quite surprised: Miss Xueling?

An Xueling was treating a wounded person with blurred flesh and blood on his arm, and he was busy with his head down, very seriously.

"Miss, I—I really regret not listening to your ......" The injured man was in pain and regret, tears flowing, "If, if I had believed your words earlier, I would have gone with you, I wouldn't, wouldn't have been like this......"

Of his family of five, only he survived, and the other four all died, and his family was gone, how could he not despair.

Tanglin Rui's face changed: An Xueling predicted this disaster in advance? How could she be so capable?

An Xueling comforted: "It happened suddenly, and I really can't come up with convincing evidence, and it is reasonable that you can't believe me." ā€

"No, I shouldn't doubt you, if I had believed you, I wouldn't be the way I am now!" The injured person was very emotional, "My family is dead, my home is gone, what is the point of me, I am alive......"

He was too badly injured and too emotional, and before he could finish his life, he fainted.

An Xueling shook her head and continued to bandage his wounds.

"Miss An, I—I regret it!" A lady in her fifties also cried bitterly at An Xueling, "I didn't believe you, otherwise I and my son would not have died, he, he ...... to save me"

"Auntie, mourning." An Xueling was also very helpless, looked at the eldest mother's injury, there was a cut on her forehead, although her face was covered with blood, but the injury was not serious, and it was not life-threatening.

"I don't want to live anymore, I'm an old bone, I'm dead, my stupid son, what are you doing to save me......" The eldest mother just cried, "I really regret it, why didn't I listen to you earlier......"

An Xueling was also very uncomfortable, but at this point, she couldn't do anything but try to treat their injuries.

"Xue Ling." Tanglin Rui squatted down, "You've been here for a long time?" Tired, right? ā€

"The crown prince forgives the sin, and the courtiers want to treat the wounded, so they will not salute." An Xueling was bandaging the wound of the eldest mother, and it was not easy to let go, so she only owed the debt, "The courtiers are not tired." ā€

"I heard from the villagers, you reminded them last night that there would be this disaster?" Tanglin Rui's gaze was a little deep, "How do you know?" ā€

"It's a coincidence." An Xueling had already dealt with it, "The courtiers went to Mingxi Mountain to collect medicine because they wanted to make alchemy, but when it rained heavily, they took refuge on the mountain, and they happened to see a mudslide, so they went down the mountain to inform them, but unfortunately it was ......"

"Mud what?" It was the first time he had heard of this word, and like the villagers, he had only seen floods before, and had never seen this kind of mud and sand.

"Mudslides, very terrible disasters." An Xueling sighed, "It's a pity that I can't save them." ā€

"You've done a great job." Dongling Rui probably believed An Xueling's words, and didn't ask again, "This palace has seen that your face is not good, and you have been busy for a long time, right?" Get up and rest first. ā€

An Xueling did help save people from the moment the disaster happened, and she didn't rest for a day, didn't eat or drink, and only then did she get together, her head was dizzy, and she fell backwards.

"Xue Ling!" Tanglin Rui immediately took An Xueling in his arms and hugged him tightly, "Are you okay?" But my heart was beating.

An Xueling is already stunning, and she always has a fragrant fragrance on her body, which is just in response to the sentence "Nephrite is warm and fragrant", and it is strange that Tanglin Rui will be indifferent.

"The courtiers are fine." An Xueling stood firm on her own, "Offended." ā€

"It doesn't matter." Tanglin Rui felt a sense of loss in his heart, and he actually had the urge to hug An Xueling tightly, "You are too tired, go over there with the palace to rest." ā€

"Prince Xie cares." An Xueling gave a salute.

The two turned around and walked forward, I don't know if it was because the ground was muddy and it was difficult to walk, Tanglin sharp legs were weak, and they fell to the ground at once, and their faces were buried in the mud, so they were not embarrassed.

"The Crown Prince!" An Xueling was taken aback, and suddenly felt the familiar breath in the dark, helpless and funny: When did this vinegar jar come? This is to see the crown prince hugging him just now, so he got angry and taught the crown prince a lesson?

The guards next to him didn't know that this was Long Qingyuan's handiwork, but they thought that Tanglin Rui was careless, so he hurriedly helped him up and confessed his guilt.

"It's Hongu himself who is careless, nothing." Dongling Rui didn't get angry, nor did he feel embarrassed, and wiped the muddy water on his face with a handkerchief, "Xue Ling, see it." ā€
