"Wow-" Huizhu gasped, one hand desperately grabbed the bed curtain because of emotion, and the other hand stiffened in the air, I don't know whether to cover her lips to prevent exclamation, or to slap the window of the carved railing, so that the withered couple would not leave the old woman who fell in the mud.

"Oh, no!" Uncontrollable exclamation, Huizhu slapped the window hard, her fingers trembling and pointed to the scene outside, two hungry and thin men dragged a child who couldn't see age and gender with a numb face, and couldn't help but say angrily: "How can it, even the child doesn't let go, I didn't see that the child fainted, what are they going to do!" ”

Yin Zhen looked in the direction pointed by Huizhu, withdrew his gaze with just one glance, and said indifferently: "Put down the curtain." "What? Huizhu stared back in disbelief, but Yinzhen closed her eyes as if she hadn't seen it.

Yun Xiang saw that there was a misunderstanding between his brother and sister-in-law, and explained from the side: "This disaster has rarely happened for many years, almost all of Zhili have been flooded, and more than 70 states and counties in Gyeonggi have also been flooded. Besides, there are not many people traveling, and if you help one of them, the rest of the displaced people will come to you, and the consequences will be worrying. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Xiao Luzi said outside: "Master, there is a woman in front of the carriage to stop the car, and some homeless people have poured over, and the slave has ordered someone to drag the woman away, and you can start the ...... immediately."

Before the word "Cheng" came out, a crying voice shouted: "Nobleman, do a good job, take the woman's son, don't want a son, as long as you can enjoy food." The umbrella in Xiao Luzi's hand was knocked open, and he spat angrily, shouting: "Drag it away, within a foot of the carriage, don't approach the homeless." ”

The desperate cry of the woman in the carriage was clearly heard, Yunxiang quietly peeked at the looks of the two brothers and sisters-in-law, and thought about himself, and announced to Yinzhen, then hung the curtain, pushed the car door and looked at it, and saw that a woman who looked like a beggar in front of the horse was being dragged away by grinding mud, and then there were at least twenty or thirty people kneeling on the ground begging, and there were homeless people on both sides of the road.

After a cursory look, knowing that the situation was not good, Yun Xiang was ruthless in his heart, and said: "It's okay if the homeless people are killed, whoever comes to stop the car again, and directly beats the master to death!" As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the crowd, and the outcasts began to disperse.

Just when the situation was good, the woman's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted towards the carriage: "Four ladies! Four ladies! I'm Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang who sells porridge! Please, enjoy the food, give the second boy of my family a food! When the woman from the same village as Aunt Zhang heard this, she also exclaimed; Seeing this, the other homeless people showed a look of hunger and thirst in their eyes, and their eyes stared straight at the carriage and did not move.

Yun Shen didn't want the situation to change, so he immediately snatched the horsewhip, "snapped" in the rain, and said with a fierce expression: "Babbling slut!" Leave her alone and keep going! With that, he glanced at one of the guards, who immediately understood, and approached Aunt Zhang, with a big knife in his hand, and the blade flashed a bright light in the rain.

"Ding-", "Ah" swords, screams, indignation.

A stream of blood spurted out, and Aunt Zhang only screamed in pain and poured the mud on her back.

"No" Huizhu shook her head and muttered to herself, suddenly her eyes froze, and she suddenly got up from her position and was about to rush out of the carriage, when a hand stretched out behind her, grabbed her wrist very quickly, and pulled it back heavily. He stumbled and fell back into his seat. Huizhu raised in a panic, it was Yinzhen, who was looking at her with burning eyes.

"Woo woo ......" The moment their eyes met, Huizhu cried, and then threw herself into Yinzhen's arms, grabbed his clothes tightly, and whimpered in a muffled voice: "It's Aunt Zhang, it's really Aunt Zhang, the concubines and Bao'er have all drunk the porridge she boiled." Your Majesty, you have also seen her, she is really Aunt Zhang's son......"

Yin Zhen cried silently from Huizhu lying on his stomach in his arms, and after several hesitations with his arms hanging down, he finally slowly circled the body in his arms, and stroked his back stiffly with his hands, and said, "I remember her...... Not in the future, Gyeonggi Land, I won't let it flood again! The movement was still gentle, but the squinting glance at Yun Xiang was fierce.

At first glance, he saw his brother and sister-in-law hugging each other, and he was immediately stunned, until Yinzhen signaled with his eyes, and then he nodded in response, and one turned around and got out of the carriage, waving a horsewhip in his hand, ignoring the homeless people who did not react, and drove straight away.

After a while, the carriage drove away from the crowd, Yun Shen returned to the car, and said: "Your Majesty, the homeless people have been beaten, and the carriage will travel for another hour and a half, and you will be able to reach Baoding." Hearing this, Yinzhen lowered his head and responded, but Huizhu stiffened when he heard it, put his hands against Yinzhen's chest, and hurriedly retreated an arm's length, and glanced at Yun Shen slightly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "The concubine is rude." ”

Yun Shenxiao was embarrassed by Huizhu, and smiled indifferently: "Niangniang doesn't have to care, my brother didn't see anything." After speaking, he knew that he had lost his words, and waved his hand again: "No...... The younger brother didn't mean this, he said, ......" Before the words were clear, Huizhu had been blushed by Yunxiang, and seeing that he looked panicked with nowhere to put his hands and feet, he burst into tears and said with a smile: "Thirteenth brother, don't explain, the more you explain, the more wrong it is." Yunxiang smiled, got up and made a big salute, and said no more.

After this trouble, the depressed and dull atmosphere in the carriage was relieved, and the sense of powerlessness in Huizhu's heart also faded a lot, and as reason gradually returned, she also understood that the situation at that time was urgent, but it was still difficult to let go of Aunt Zhang's death.

The rest of the trip was quite smooth, and there was no situation where the homeless people stopped the car. But all the way, just lift the curtain. Visible to displaced people; As soon as you close your eyes and meditate, you can hear the cry mixed with the sound of rain......

The solstice is coming, and Baoding has arrived. Yunxiang jumped out of the carriage and Zhang Luo's entourage, and Xiaojuan took the hat on the vertical waist position of the fixed veil from the back carriage and came over to serve.

For a while, Huizhu put on his hat, and Yunxiang led three Hanchen to say outside: "Master, the rain is very heavy outside, and a few lowly people think that you should not get off the carriage." If you are sure to see the disaster, you can let the carriage walk around the city of Baoding. Yin Zhen vetoed: "Drive the carriage directly to the river dam outside the city." Yunxiang was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped him: "Master, there is ...... outside the city" said that he had no intention, Yinzhen had insisted on going, and a group of dozens of people went straight to the river dam.

Out of the city must pass through the city, listen to the conversation between the two Yinzhen brothers, Huizhu guessed that the situation in the city is OK, but the city line, everywhere is a bleak scene, there are almost no pedestrians on both sides of the street, only the boys and girls who sell their bodies on the side of the road to eat, not long after, the carriage travels to the river ladder outside the city, Yinzhen disregards the obstruction of everyone, personally and Yunxiang, three Hanchen, and a number of guards go to the downstream of the river ladder, and check the flooded farmland.

Huizhu sat in the carriage and waited, but when she lifted the curtains, she could also get a glimpse of the disaster around her. From the inside of the carriage, it is no longer clear to see the original appearance outside the city, and the water is all over the field, and it is difficult to distinguish the original within hundreds of miles; Passers-by were walking in the calf-high water.

"Master, look at that!" Xiao Juan pointed to one place and exclaimed.

Hearing the sound, I looked fixedly, a small depression was soaked in evil water, and two dead bodies were floating on it! Huizhu covered her mouth, and after a few breaths, she barely calmed down: "Don't make a fuss, there must be dead corpses where there is a disaster, and once this dead corpse is not dealt with properly, there will be a plague." After finishing speaking, Hui Zhu got up and said incoherently: "In summer, the epidemic is spreading rapidly. By the way, the water source, it must be contaminated, and the foul-smelling dead bodies and livestock carcasses must be disposed of, otherwise the epidemic will explode. No, after the flood waters recedes, there should still be rodents, mosquitoes and flies, which will cause the spread of diseases."

Xiaojuan looked at Huizhu dumbfounded, couldn't help swallowing saliva, timidly tugged at the corner of Huizhu's clothes, and called, "Master, what's wrong with you?" Huizhu suddenly came back to her senses, glanced at Xiaojuan sharply, and then stared intently at the stagnant water on the road, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, go and find the master and the thirteenth master back." ”

There was no reaction outside, and Huizhu sighed again: "Didn't you hear?" There may be snakes, insects, rats and ants in this water, if you have something, you"

Before he could say anything, he saw the car door open and Yinzhen walked up, frowning and saying, "What's the matter?" So flustered. Huizhu didn't reply immediately, her eyes were fixed on Yinzhen's face, and seeing that his face was as usual, she shook her head and said, "No, it's okay." The concubine just remembered for a moment that there would be an epidemic after the flood, and there were many poisonous insects in the bad water accumulated on the ground, so she was a little worried. ”

Yunxiang, who followed Yinzhen to the carriage, heard what Huizhu said, and said with a wry smile: "Niangniang, you are right to be worried, the emperor and his ministers were really bitten by leeches, and Hanchen who followed was also poisoned by insects. When Huizhu heard this, she hurriedly looked at it, and saw that on Yinzhen's legs with trouser legs, there were two dark green worms with thick fingers, and she didn't want to think about it, so she rushed over and stretched out her hand to Yinzhen's legs.

Yin Zhen pulled away Huizhu, raised his eyebrows and said: "Nonsense, if you know what this is, just touch it, you stay!" Huizhu sat on the ground, Yunxiang saw the embarrassing scene, so he had to say: "Niangniang, the leech can't be touched with your hands, you have to use another method to get rid of it." You don't have to worry, it's not poisonous. At the end, seeing Xiaojuan helping Huizhu get up, she said: "The courtyard has been taken care of in the city, and the soil method will be used at that time, and it will be dropped as soon as it is gone." ”

Hearing Yun Xiang's words, Huizhu sat aside with a little relief, but when she didn't pay attention, she caught a glimpse of Yinzhen's calf, sticking to a green worm that looked soft and bulging, and seemed to have a pointed mouth inserted into the flesh, and her heart was nauseous and scared, and her face was a little pale.
