Throughout the day, the scope of the flood receding was limited, and all kinds of debris floated on the yellow sewage, which was rarely alive.

Two lanterns were carried on the narrow bow of the ship, but at this time they were swinging far away.

Listening to the sound, Ren Yan didn't care about the candle in his hand, stepped barefoot on the watery carpet and stepped to the second floor, pushed open the window, and saw the two warm candles on the water at a glance.

In the candlelight, two gentlemen were talking with a few gentlemen behind him with pen and paper, and there were three oilcloth bags and two green tin buckets piled up in the crowd, and a young gentleman carried a flashlight to the side of the street, looking for refuge.

A head poked out of the gap in the Manchurian window on the second floor diagonally opposite, and the young man was ecstatic, picked bread and milk from the cloth pocket, and asked people to take out the utensils, fill them with water, and send them in.

Shen Boyang asked the people in the house clearly, registered it in the notebook, and walked forward with the boat.

The people in the Shen Mansion gathered in front of the window to call Mr., Shen Boyang and Gu Tingwen raised their heads at the same time, and their tired eyebrows immediately smiled: "Good evening!" ”

The older servant couldn't help it, and wiped his tears with his head down.

Ren Yan's hand on the windowsill was cold, and she picked out her nails on the wooden flute, she couldn't find any words to express her current mood, her breathing was chaotic, so chaotic that she couldn't help but want to scream.

"Rouge, don't cry." When the boat went downstairs, Gu Tingwen looked up at her and was silent for a long time before she spoke.

She didn't realize anything, she wiped her face randomly at his words, and laughed out loud: "Tingwen-"

"I'm here."

He smiled, only knowing how to look up at her: "I'm fine, don't be afraid." ”

She just nodded, tears spreading on the back of her hand, layer upon layer.

"Mr. Shen is also very good, please rest assured Mrs. Shen." He stood at the bow of the boat, helpless, and had to distract her with words of comfort.

Ren Yan's mood was chaotic, and for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, the joy of panic made her unable to bear it for a while.

Gu Tingwen smiled, his expression changed when he looked at her carefully, and pointed to her cuffs: "Injured?" ”

Ren Yan lowered his head, there was a large blood stain on his cuffs, which had long since dried up and darkened, and it was not easy to find even if he was careful in the night.

She shook her head with a smile and shouted to Shen Boyang: "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen gave birth to a beautiful girl, with very white skin and bright eyes, very similar to her!" ”

"Congratulations."

Gu Tingwen relieved himself, turned around and patted his best friend's shoulder, and the accompanying crowd suddenly rejoiced and congratulated him.

Mr. Shen was stunned for a long time, then took off his glasses to cover his face, and couldn't cry.

Gu Tingwen still smiled: "These are friends of the city hall and the Chamber of Commerce, we need to continue to provide relief and count the number of casualties, and visit again if we have time." Don't go out lightly, keep an eye out! ”

"Okay."

He said, and she came down one by one.

The boat rowed away slowly, and Gu Tingwen still stood facing her, smiling, and touching the position of his heart.

He knew she understood, so he said no more.

The joy and fear in Ren Yan's heart surged out in an instant, and he leaned out half of his body and waved at him: "Gu Tingwen, I love you-"

The sound is so loud that it can shake the entire street.

The boat was far away, and he could be vaguely seen standing there, not moving.

Ren Yan slipped from the windowsill to the floor, and when the servant saw that he was about to help her up, she smiled and shook her head, and sat there, probably feeling closer to him.

Mrs. Shen in the bedroom learned the news of Shen Boyang, she didn't dare to cry, tears flowed down the pillow, and the old mothers bluffed and persuaded her, begging to accept the sadness, and the family was full of joy.

Ren Yan changed the candles one after another, lit one more on each floor, and covered the upstairs and downstairs warmly, and the water spreading up the first floor no longer looked so terrible.

In the middle of the night, the water began to recede, and by the time dawn came, the entire staircase was exposed, and only the first floor was paved with ankle depth.

Another day passed, and all that remained was dampness in the house, and people were walking out on the street. The old servants had the audacity to go out and inquire about the purchases, but in the end they turned around with only empty baskets.

"The house collapsed, there was garbage and debris everywhere, it was too late to tidy up day and night, there was no time to take care of eating and drinking, and they were queuing up at the department store in the evening, and they might be able to grab a few things tomorrow morning."

The old housekeeper instructed the young and strong men, and for fear of chaos on the ground in case of disaster, he left two or three burly men at home to guard the door and guard the master and the little master; The old mothers are responsible for taking care of the house and saving the epidemic from disturbance.

The candle was extinguished in the middle of the night, but I listened to the lock of the door downstairs turning.

The old servants welcomed Shen Boyang and Gu Tingwen in, and handing over a cup of cold tea was also regarded as an explanation, Shen Boyang didn't care about this, only cared about his wife and children, and hurriedly ran to the third floor.

Ren Yan changed into Mrs. Shen's dress, stood on the stairs, and only looked at the gentlemen who climbed the stairs, and the servants left with interest, leaving the two of them looking at each other across two flights of stairs.

After looking at it for a long time, she asked first: "I heard that Mr. Shen and the Seventh Master were busy with disaster relief for several days and nights and didn't close their eyes. ”

Gu Tingwen nodded: "I haven't slept for two days and one night, and my body can't bear it." ”

She wanted to tease him, but her heart hurt again, and she pulled someone back to the room: "Then what are you still messing around here, it's three o'clock." ”

The beds in the house were clean, but they were damp, and the windows were scattered all day long, with little effect.

Ren Yan pounced on the pillow: "You have a good rest, what time do you want to get up tomorrow morning, I called you?" ”

"What are you going to do?" He took her hand, unwilling to let go.

"I'm really scared these days, I can't sleep well, and I can feel more at ease when I walk."

For two days and one night, the number of casualties in the statistics book was staggering, and it was inevitable to see floating corpses when traveling and walking, and the men couldn't stand it, not to mention the two women who had just experienced life and death.

He bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand: "Don't be afraid, there won't be any more." ”

Ren Yan nodded.

"Come up and take a break, okay?"

She nodded, took off her shoes, climbed into the blanket and snuggled up to him.

"Haven't been in touch yet?"

Gu Tingwen nodded: "Telephone and telegram can't be sent, the roads outside the city are not smooth, driving is extremely difficult, and it will take a few days for the news to be delivered." ”

"These days, hard work for you."

He held her hand: "I just want to save more people, food and water, and even medicine are not enough, nothing else." ”

She nodded, her heart sinking.

"Rouge."

"Hmm."

"Mother's former home, I'm afraid it's ......"

"I know."

The wind and rain are so big, where can she be saved, and can she still plan for the same natural disaster?

Fortunately, I saw it some time ago, and it was enough to fulfill my mother and her dream.

He took her into his arms and kissed her forehead.

The two talked and slept together at some point.

Before dawn, Shen Boyang and Gu Tingwen went out again, and the two masters occasionally came to the house to take a look, and then left in a hurry.

It wasn't until a week later that Ren Yan rushed back from the department store with a basket of bread and a few bottles of milk, and the two men arrived home earlier than her. ”

The little girl was given a milk name Yuanyuan, and after calling for a long time, she would turn a pair of watery eyes and stare straight at them, the eyes were black and round, and they were very pleasing.

The old servant looked at the little master and was overjoyed: "Mr. and Mrs. want to raise a girl the most, now that the realm is too peaceful and there is a girl, where can I find such the best of both worlds!" ”

On the day when the official master from Beijing to Guangzhou arrived in Shantou, Ren Yan and Gu Tingwen were about to pack their bags and leave, and they wanted to see the seventh master, so they sent a car to pick them up early in the morning.

The puppet has aqua blue eyes, two golden braids, a black and white plaid skirt, and a basket full of breadsticks on his arms.

Mrs. Shen quipped: "We don't dare to forget Aunt Ren now." ”

After eating bread for nearly a month, it is not very pleasant to mention it, but there is only one left in the department store, and Ren Yan finds it interesting when he thinks about it.

While coaxing the child, Mrs. Shen asked her in a low voice: "How long will you and the seventh master have a child sooner or later?" ”

Ren Yan choked twice: "It's still early, don't be in a hurry." ”

"I heard my husband say that the Seventh Master has already prepared for the wedding, and he will marry you the year after tomorrow, and Boyang is still asking him for an invitation, where is it still early?"

Ren Yan was bored.

Mrs. Shen touched her elbow: "It's the Republic of China now, and it's not the old days, give birth to a child early, and I can still make you a flower girl when you get married, Dormantic!" ”

Ren blushed and refused to speak to her again.

During the evening break, Gu Tingwen asked someone to send him back, and he ate more wine and looked serious.

Ren Yan always saw his gentle appearance, and it was rare to have a strained face, but he only felt funny, and stretched his neck to tease him: "Seventh Master, do you still recognize who I am?" ”

He was disassembling the cufflinks, refusing to talk.

Ren Yan made trouble: "Last month, the seventh master came to Cuihuayuan for dinner and tea, and he didn't give silver, do you remember this?" ”

He still ignored it, frowning, probably pondering the truth of her words.

Ren Yanxu listed a few dishes in a matter-of-fact manner: "Look, a lot of money, how early and late will it be given?" ”

The cufflinks were on the floor, and the candles in the room were extinguished.

She couldn't see clearly for a while, squinting her eyes to find someone, but she felt that her waist was being grabbed and rested on the bed.

The breath was suppressed, and the shallow smell of wine was very good, and the man joked: "Take advantage of my drunkenness, trick me?" ”

Where is drunk, who has the courage to fill the seventh master, Ren Yan knows that he is just indulging her to play.

She wanted to escape, but she was grabbed by the hem of her clothes, and she was not very strong, but she was not allowed to escape: "Half of the words, no guts?" ”

The little girl nodded sincerely: "Yes, some ......"

He laughed: "Make it up more, I'll listen." ”

Whatever you make up, it's all fake!

She was angry and wanted to push him, but she was kissed.

His body was so hot that her heart softened, and she still had to say something like that: "Say you love me that day, say it again, I'll listen!" ”

When she refused, he undressed her.

How many pieces can he splurge on a summer day?

Later, he hugged her body to his chest, and his forehead was against her: "But I left you that day and left, saving the face of the girl's family, and my education will never allow such a rude thing." ”

Ren Yan was speechless.

He must be coaxing her to play, what kind of education, and teach people the love between men and women?

She was cranky, but she was kissed by him again: "But I am greedy and rude, but I still want the rest of your life." ”

She was flustered by his kiss, and only saw his dark eyes: "August 2 is under the wind and rain, I pray that if you are safe, you will not be separated from you by half a step——"

He smiled and stroked her hot body: "Rouge, are you willing to answer me?" ”
