Two large ships lay across the shallows like collapsed palaces.

The rushing river has also completely regained its calm, and some tung oil barrels have cracked, and the river surface is dirty.

Fearing a landslide on the hillside above, the people on both boats were also moved to the hillside.

Among these personnel were the soaking wet Mr. Teach and the boy.

The boy's face was unusually pale and his whole body was still shaking, and Mr. Tsing Yi, who was holding the boy's hand, turned to look back, and then he finally saw the young man who had rescued him and the boy.

From the mouths of some people around him, he also learned that this young man's name was Lin Xi, and he also heard many things about Lin Xi.

He looked at Lin Xi and the others who were still searching on the river, patted the boy's back, bowed deeply to the river, and bowed solemnly.

Then, without stopping, he took the boy's hand and left the hill directly and walked towards Yanlai Town.

......

At dusk, Anniversary Mountain entered Donggang Town and entered the Town Governor's Mansion.

After seeing Jiang Wenhe and Shi Qiudao, the thin civil official who came from Ludongling asked the accompanying sergeant to take out a volume of documents, handed it to Shi Qiudao, and then asked with a wry smile: "What is the specific casualty situation in Yanlai Town now?"

"As of the report half an hour ago, twenty-three people had died, and eighteen were confirmed to be missing. Shi Qiudao looked at the contents of the Chinese book in his hand, and his face was full of strange looks.

Seeing Shi Qiudao's strange look, the wry smile on Nian Shan's face became even stronger, "What about those people in He Jing?"

Shi Qiudao replied: "The bodies of the five officials including He Jing and Guo Xiuxian have been found, and the rest have not been found yet. ”

"What about Lin Xi, is he still there?" Nian Nian Shan nodded, still asking with a wry smile: "It is said that he was the first to rush up to rescue him after the collision of the two ships?

Shi Qiudao nodded and said, "At least half of the people who fell into the water at that time were rescued by him and one of his friends. Without his leadership, I am afraid that the number of casualties would have more than doubled. ”

"It's already a miracle... Late at night, he dared to go to a neighboring town, and nearly 5,000 people's lives..."Nian Nian Shan sighed and said these two sentences, but there was a pause, and some didn't know what to say.

Shi Qiudao glanced at the document in his hand again, turned his head to look at Jiang Wenhe, and frowned again and asked, "Lord Zhou, can I send this document now?"

"What else are you posting? Nian Nian Shan smiled bitterly: "At this time, I sent an official document saying that Lin Xi would be removed from his post and investigated, I don't want to be pierced by this Lu Dongling person with his fingers and drown with saliva." Not sending an official document is at most just being said to be dereliction of duty by ginseng... But in this case, who will participate in us without brains?

Also, if I don't want this face and send this official document, wouldn't this be equivalent to slapping the face above?"

After a slight pause, he shook his head again and said, "It is estimated that in less than two days, the order to revoke this official document and the official document of commendation from above should come down." ”

Shi Qiudao accepted the paperwork, and a rare smile appeared on his usually unsmiling face.

Anniversary Mountain made a decision, the bitterness on his face disappeared, and he smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Jiang Wenhe and said: "It is said that Lord Jiang and Lin Xi checked the river embankment that day and night, and contracted the wind cold, and when they came back, they fell seriously ill, I wonder if they can get better?"

Jiang Wenhe bowed his head a little embarrassed and said, "It's fine." ”

"Hexi-sama is on good standing. Nian Nian Shan exclaimed: "My lord has done this, and when the next document comes, the code of this generation of town governor should at least be gone." ”

Jiang Wenhe originally wanted to laugh, but he pulled his mouth, and he didn't laugh much, thinking that he was worried and sick in the past few days and was about to take off the word "generation", the more embarrassed his expression became.

Anniversary Mountain sighed again, glanced at the sky outside, and said, "Anyway, it's all here, and this document can't be issued... Why don't you two adults accompany me to meet this Kobayashi-sama?"

If it weren't for the news that they were waiting for the higher-ranking officials here, I am afraid that Jiang Wenhe and Shi Qiudao would have already been unable to resist going to Yanlai Town to take a look, so Jiang Wenhe would naturally not refuse this request of Anniversary Mountain.

The group set off towards Yanlai Town.

At this time, the sky was already dark, but the anniversary mountain was to see that there were many pedestrians on the road from Donggang Town to Yanlai Town, with many people and cars and lanterns shining on the horse, and the road was exceptionally easy to walk at night.

Along the way, most of what Anniversary Mountain heard from passers-by was also the four characters of Lord Kobayashi.

The group marched to the post.

The grass and trees on this hill have been trampled to the point that they are not in shape, and in the bonfire, some officials from Yanlai Town and Donggang Town, who were originally here, noticed the arrival of this group of people, and did not see the faces of Anniversary Mountain and others, but only saw the official uniforms on Anniversary, these people were suddenly startled and hurried to meet them.

"What's going on right now?"

Anniversaryyama looked at these people who greeted him, and did not indicate his identity, but just asked directly.

Because this is the boundary of Yanlai Town, all the officials and students of Donggang Town remained silent, and an official of the Internal Affairs Department of Yanlai Town quickly replied in an extremely heavy tone: "Twenty-six bodies have been found, and it is determined that twenty-three people are missing. ”

By the light of the fire, Anniversary Mountain saw two huge silhouettes, lying on the water like monsters, he nodded, signaled that he heard clearly, and walked along the two huge silhouettes on the mountain road that was already paved with hay, but he couldn't help but feel a slight shock.

He could see clearly that these were two large ships that had run aground.

The first sight of such a large ship, which had already made people feel unusually majestic when it sailed on the river, was broken and sunk deep into the mud and rocks, and he could imagine how thrilling it must have been for these two big ships to crash into this place at that time.

"Where's Lord Lin?"

Anniversary Mountain couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked left and right, and asked.

"He's still on the river. A Yanlai town official replied immediately. His tone was low, but he couldn't put it into words.

There were a lot of officials in Yanlai Town who were not from He Jing's line, and their feelings about Lin Xi were originally different, but because they were not in power, they couldn't help Lin Xi, but when the dam broke, almost all the officials of He Jing's family in Yanlai Town were buried in the flood, how could this not make these remaining officials sigh.

These officials walked slowly down with Anniversary Mountain.

Following the instructions of these officials, I walked to Anniversary Hill in front of the two stranded large boats, and saw a small boat floating quietly on the water, and a teenager was sitting on it at the moment.

"Huh?"

But Nian Nian Shan heard the suspicious voices of the surrounding officials again, he frowned slightly, and asked, "What?"

"That's a friend of Lord Lin's... Lord Lin and he were still on that boat before, why is Lord Lin missing now?"

"That's not Lin Xi?"

Nian Nian Shan looked at it in surprise, Jiang Wenhe and Jiang Xiaoyi who were following him were already familiar with each other, and he couldn't help but want to ask each other at this moment, but at this moment, he saw a splash of water next to the boat with lanterns, but a figure came out of the water, pressed on the edge of the boat, and got on the boat.

"Lord Lin!"

As soon as he saw the familiar figure emerging from the water, Jiang Wenhe suddenly shouted excitedly.

......

"Whew... Whew..."

On the small boat, Lin Xi was panting violently, and when he exhaled with one breath, his chest felt a slight collapse.

At this time, the visibility on the river was extremely poor, and he was not busy salvaging anything, but adhering to the teachings of Qingluan Palace to practice everywhere, he was already practicing on the river where peace had been restored.

Cultivating in the rainstorm before, he felt that cultivating had more benefits than usual, but today, in order to save people, he fell into the water many times, but it made him have an idea, and he remembered to practice under this water.

Although he still has a lot of heavy objects on his body at this moment, it is even more difficult to stand firm under the water, and when he does the Qingluan Twenty-Four Style, in addition to the surrounding water pressure, the power generated by the water flow below is also more unpredictable, and it is even more difficult to master the balance.

And every time he couldn't hold his breath, when he went up to the boat to breathe and rest, with the exhalation of a large amount of turbid air, Lin Xi only felt that bursts of heat quickly spread from the dantian to his whole body, and this feeling was wonderful and comfortable.

Jiang Xiaoyi himself was going to take turns with him to go into the water to practice, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Jiang Wenhe shouting, so he also stopped his figure, and looked at the place where Jiang Wenhe made a sound with Lin Xi, who was panting violently.

When the two saw that there were many officials gathered, they didn't say much, and the boat broke through the water and quickly docked.

"This is the anniversary of the priest's birthday. Jiang Wenhe immediately introduced to Lin Xi, who was still dripping with water on his body.

Lin Xi bowed and saluted slightly, and said, "I heard that someone said that the news that I would be cut down and investigated has been sent above, is Lord Zhou here to send an official document?"

When Anniversary Mountain heard Lin Xi's words for the first time, he only felt that Lin Xi was too sharp, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but when he saw the calm and peaceful look on Lin Xi's face, and then saw Lin Xi's tired expression, and his whole body was slightly pale by the river water, he intuitively felt that Lin Xi's sentence was still mostly a peaceful joke, and the trace of unhappiness that had not had time to arise in his heart suddenly turned into appreciation and pity, he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, bowed to Lin Xi and saluted back, and said: " Lord Xiaolin, you really don't open any pot, I want to send a commendation document to you in a day or two, if I come here to send a letter to investigate your job, then so many people on this hill will not be able to throw me into the river to feed the fish. ”

Lin Xi's perception of this anniversary mountain at first glance was not bad, and he felt that the other party was not hostile, he smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay to send it to me secretly first, so that someone can participate in your dereliction of duty." ”

"Lord Kobayashi, you're really not simple. ”

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Nian Nian Shan couldn't help but take a deep breath, couldn't control his emotions, and let out a sigh. "Who is this?" his gaze stayed on Jiang Xiaoyi beside Lin Xi again.

"He is my friend, Jiang Xiaoyi, who is the supervisor of the Huigu Town Engineering Department, and he happened to come to visit me on leave, so he didn't want to encounter this incident, so he stayed here to help me. Lin Xi patted Jiang Xiaoyi's shoulder and introduced.

"I didn't expect that I, Lu Dongling, would have two young heroes in a row. Anniversary Mountain was slightly stunned, and his face suddenly became a little solemn: "If you rush to the rescue from time to time, you should take the lead, and you are worthy of praise." ”

"So... Not only has my rank been preserved, but there should also be a reward?" Lin Xi smiled and asked.

Anniversary Mountain was stunned again, if he had a very good impression of Lin Xi, if someone else asked him directly, he would feel that the other party was like an official, too greedy.

"It should be. Anniversary Mountain looked at Lin Xi strangely, but still replied: "Lord Xiaolin's performance is really too good... That's thousands of lives, after all. ”

"It's not just me. For this dam, the old man Chen Yangzhi died here. Lin Xi's face turned solemn, and he looked at Anniversary Mountain and said seriously, "Without him, I may not be able to let so many people stay on this hill... Also, the fertile land here can't be saved, and the livelihood of these people, even if I overstep my authority, I'm afraid I can't do it, and I need your help. ”

Anniversary Mountain turned his head and saw that many of the villagers around the bonfire were gloomy and bleak, and his mood was suddenly heavy, but thinking of Lin Xi's official rank at this time, and thinking of his conduct and performance in these days, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of patience and taste, "Lord Xiaolin, you can't manage your rank now, but you may not be able to manage it next." ”
