Chapter 58: The Downpour (8)

Hexiang Town is famous for lotus, nearly 100 ponds in the town are full of lotus flowers, and the flowering period from June to September every year is the most beautiful time in the town. The purpose of planting lotus flowers in Hexiang Town is not for ornamentation, but for harvesting lotus roots. The lotus root in Hexiang Town is famous in Dongyue, which was originally only sold within the city of Shangyuan, but with the opening of the Nanjiang Grand Canal, it can be sold to more cities along or around the river-Shang-Nan, and is the main economic source of the town.

It is still the most beautiful time of the year in Hexiang Town, but it was destroyed by a sudden rainstorm. The torrential rain, which has lasted for several days and nights, not only destroyed the lotus flower in the pond and knocked its petals off, but also destroyed the homes of the entire town, and the waterlogging has caused about 92 percent of the houses in the town to be flooded. Due to the timely transfer of food, the loss was only about 10 percent.

At present, the people of the entire town are moving to the cave, except for necessary supplies, Wang Liuzhi does not let everyone bring anything that consumes manpower and space. However, this regulation caused problems, and several large families basically emptied their belongings and asked the subordinates of the house to move their belongings to the cave, which caused conflicts.

Originally, the size of the cave was enough to accommodate the people of Hexiang Town, but after storing the food of the whole town, it became crowded, and these people also wanted to move their own property in, which seriously affected everyone's activity space, and there was a section of the road in the cave that was very narrow, and the transportation of these belongings delayed the overall transfer progress. Wang Liuzhi couldn't stop it, so he could only send someone to invite Yun Moxi.

In Wang Liuzhi's courtyard, there are currently only Yun Moxi, Lu Qianmo, Shen Ling and the uncle in charge of decoction, a total of four people. Yun Moxi had already asked the others to move to the cave as well, and if it weren't for Shen Ling's condition, he wouldn't have chosen the four of them to stay in the other courtyard.

At this time, Yun Moxi had already told Lu Qianmo about the waterlogging in Hexiang Town due to the heavy rain. He didn't mention it before because he didn't think it was necessary, and at this moment, he wanted to transfer Shen Ling to a temporarily reconstructed wooden corridor, and the matter couldn't be hidden. After Lu Qianmo heard this, he asked, "Do you want to stay here with us?" After getting a positive answer, she didn't say anything more, and her heart was still on taking care of Shen Ling.

The original two-storey corridor was transformed into two rooms by Yun Moxi, although the rooms are simple, they can also shelter from the wind and rain, and the air circulation is smooth, and there will be no stuffy imagination. In one of the rooms, there was a bed, a chaise longue, and some necessities that Lu Qianmo needed, and this room was used for Shen Ling to rest. The other room was used for decocting medicine for Shen Ling and cooking, and Yun Moxi rested here by the way.

Since learning that Shen Ling's condition had improved yesterday, Yun Moxi had increased the amount of medicine, and Lu Qianmo could feel that Shen Ling's body was indeed gradually improving. At present, Shen Ling has completely reduced his fever, but the red spots on his body have not completely disappeared, and he has not woken up. However, Lu Qianmo firmly believes that Shen Ling will get better soon.

Lu Qianmo was applying Shen Ling with the latest plaster made by his uncle, when he heard footsteps entering the courtyard, and sure enough, he soon heard someone looking for Yun Moxi.

This person was sent by the mayor of the town, Wang Liuzhi, who said that there were several large families who did not obey the command and had to transfer all their finances to the cave. The cave accommodates the people of the whole town, and the transferred food can't hold anything at all, otherwise everyone will not be able to survive in the cave. And Wang Liuzhi couldn't stop their actions, so he sent someone to invite Yun Moxi, hoping that he could call the shots.

After the people sent by Wang Liuzhi finished speaking, Yun Moxi did not immediately express his position, and after a period of silence, Lu Qianmo heard the other party's footsteps coming towards them.

"Lu Qianmo......" Yun Moxi's voice sounded outside.

"Go ahead, I can handle it here." Without waiting for the other party to finish, Lu Qianmo interrupted the other party's words. She didn't know that Yun Moxi went out to help the people of Hexiang Town resist the flood, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a thing willfully. Besides, now that Shen Ling has improved and has no worries about his life, Lu Qianmo has no reason to ask the other party to stay, and after knowing about the flood, she will not ask the other party to stay.

"I'll be back soon."

"You can go with confidence, it's not too late to come back after the matter is done. Shen Ling has me here, don't worry. ”

Neither side continued the conversation, and Lu Qianmo soon heard the footsteps of Yun Moxi leaving.

……

However, Yun Moxi's departure this time did not come back soon as he said, and at first Lu Qianmo did not take this matter to heart, thinking that it would indeed take some time to deal with those things. Later, Lu Qianmo thought that Yun Moxi might have other things to deal with. Later, Lu Qianmo felt that there might be something tricky on the side of the cave, which made Yun Moxi delay for so long. Later, Lu Qianmo no longer believed the words used to persuade him. Because, the truest thought in her heart is - something happened!

Although with Yun Moxi's ability, she couldn't think of anything on the other side of the cave that he couldn't handle. However, it has been nearly two days since Yun Moxi left, and there has been no news from the cave.

The flood in Hexiang Town seemed to have isolated them from the world, and in this temporarily rebuilt house, Lu Qianmo felt a little like a world away. If it weren't for the fact that the torrential rain for many days began to decrease around noon today, Lu Qianmo even suspected that the heavens were going to completely submerge the town.

According to Yun Moxi's previous words, the highest point in the town is the courtyard here. At present, the water in the annex is half a story high, so you can imagine what the situation is in other parts of the town. This morning she found that the red spots on Shen Ling's body had begun to disappear, two hours ago Shen Ling woke up once and drank some white porridge, although Shen Ling was not awake for a long time, but everything was always developing in a good direction.

Although Shen Ling was completely free of worries about his life, before he completely woke up, Lu Qianmo was still not at ease to leave him here alone and go to the cave to see in person. Because with the current water situation, she can't go out without light work, so she doesn't worry about letting her uncle investigate the situation.

After being entangled in his heart, Lu Qianmo still decided to wait, maybe Shen Ling would wake up tomorrow morning, or Yun Moxi would come back by himself, or Qingying would come back. She made this decision because she always firmly believed that with Yun Moxi's ability, there would be no major incidents, and even if he really encountered something more tricky, his life would not be in danger in a short period of time. Definitely!

"Yun Moxi, you must not be fine. I haven't found out Yang Yan's news from you, and I haven't figured out what happened in the cave outside Fengcheng back then, so you can't have anything, you must not. Lu Qianmo muttered.

……

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, the sound of the rain ticking outside the house was unusually clear. That's right, it's the ticking sound, and the rain has stopped around midnight today. The ticking sound at this time is the sound of water droplets on the eaves falling into the water.

The dark clouds had not completely receded in the sky, revealing half of Mingyue's face, like a shy girl. Under the moonlight, it was projected on Lu Qianmo's body through the gap.

Lu Qianmo closed her eyes and lay quietly on the chaise longue, without a trace of sleepiness. It stands to reason that in order to take care of Shen Ling, she has not rested for several days and nights, and sleeping with her head covered should be her proper state, but at this moment, her brain is extremely awake when she has something in her heart.

Time passed bit by bit, and just when Lu Qianmo thought that tonight would pass quietly, a sound suddenly came into his ears. When Lu Qianmo got up to check, she only saw a back jumping over, and she didn't plan to chase after her.

"Sister Mo."

Shen Ling's voice came, and Lu Qianmo turned around in surprise and saw that the other party had woken up.

"Ling'er." Lu Qianmo walked quickly to the side of the bed and checked Shen Ling back and forth, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" You tell Sister Mo that Sister Mo will definitely find a way to cure your illness. ”

"Ling'er is not uncomfortable, she is just thirsty."

Seeing that Shen Ling was indeed nothing unusual, Lu Qianmo relieved himself and immediately poured water for Shen Ling. "If you're thirsty, my sister will pour you water to drink."

Shen Ling took the water cup handed by Lu Qianmo and drank five cups in a row before he would stop.

"How's that, do you want more?" Lu Qianmo asked with concern, drinking more water is good for your health.

Shen Ling's little head shook twice, "Don't." ”

"Are you hungry? My sister asked someone to prepare porridge for you to drink. ”

Shen Ling opened his big round eyes, looked down at his stomach, and said embarrassedly, "A little." ”

Lu Qianmo saw Shen Ling's cute appearance, and smiled heartily, that cute Ling Er is back!

Let the uncle boil the porridge and give it to Shen Ling to drink. Seeing that the other party had a good appetite, Lu Qianmo completely relieved his heart, and the difficult days finally passed.

Shen Ling drank the last mouthful of porridge and put down the porcelain bowl with satisfaction. After eating and drinking, he realized that they were in a strange place, and his brother Moxi and Brother Qingying were not here. "Sister Mo, where are we? Why don't you see Brother Moxi and Brother Qingying? ”

Lu Qianmo took the bowl and spoon in Shen Ling's hand, and then explained: "We are still in the courtyard of the mayor of Hexiang Town, but the rainstorm has flooded the entire Hexiang Town, and your brother Moxi personally went to the cave in the northwest direction in order to transfer the people in the town, and Qingying went to Shangyuan City to find Taishou. ”

Yes? Shen Ling's immature eyes showed surprise, and he got up and went to the window, only to see that it looked like a lake outside, and even the first floor of the courtyard where they were staying was submerged.

Lu Qianmo walked behind Shen Ling, held the other party's small shoulders with both hands, and said, "The house can be rebuilt if it is gone, fortunately, your brother Moxi transferred the crowd in time to ensure everyone's life safety." Lu Qianmo said this without believing it, and the figure that appeared just now made him more certain about what happened to Yun Moxi.

When Shen Ling heard this, he turned his head and looked at Lu Qianmo with big eyes and asked, "Then when will Brother Moxi come back?" ”

Lu Qianmo saw the expectation from a pair of flickering black eyes, Xu knew that his illness was cured by Yun Moxi, and Shen Ling's good impression of Yun Moxi had skyrocketed. "If he doesn't come back early tomorrow morning, let's go find him." If that back didn't appear, if Shen Ling didn't wake up ...... chance. Anyway, it's time to see for yourself, it's been long enough.

"Hmm!" Shen Ling nodded excitedly.
