The next day, early in the morning.

On the embankment of the Huazhou River, Cheng Yuan was sitting there with a grass in his mouth, holding a brush in his hand, correcting mistakes in articles for the children in the temporary school.

Yang Xianzhi felt sorry for his hard work, so he arranged such an easy job for him, so that he would not be so tired.

Even if Cheng Yuan is allowed to do idle things, Cheng Yuan himself can't live very comfortably.

He wanted to wear clean clothes, wanted to eat a good meal in the Guogong Mansion, and then wanted to take a beautiful bath, missing everything in the capital.

But...... It's so impossible.

It's not that there is no well water here, it's just ...... It's hard to put into words, and there is still a faint smell of corpses in the water.

When Zhu Neng and Cao Menghu went up the riverbank with sacks of sand on their backs, Cheng Yuan glanced at them with emotion and helped them take the sandbags and throw them on the shore.

And what about Zhu Gaochi...... Well, he was holding a stone, and he had walked for almost half an hour, and he didn't go far.

Awesome, my Zhu Chubby.

At the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, they are still very advocating martial arts and powerful people, and in this era, men who carry several sacks at a time are still particularly admired.

Especially Cao Menghu, such a guy did his work, took off his shirt directly, and directly exposed his dark and strong muscles.

The almost woman-like bulging pectoral muscles made Cheng Yuan can't help but envy him, this is a pure natural pectoralis major muscle.

Cheng Yuan teased: "Tiger, why are your pectoralis major muscles so exaggerated!" ”

Cao Menghu was embarrassed to be ridiculed, put on his dirty and smelly clothes at the moment, smiled, and continued to carry the sandbags in the river.

Zhu Gaochi panted and put the stone down, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Sir, what should I do next?" ”

"You rest." Cheng Yuan Dao.

Zhu Gaochi gasped, feeling that he was about to run out of breath, he couldn't help but cover his chest, and his round face became a little red.

Zhu Neng said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is tired, do you want to take a break." ”

Zhu Gaochi felt that his calves were trembling, he was dizzy, and his arms were so sore, that he couldn't lift them directly.

I was already fat and moved slowly, but now I am even slower.

You can look at the sturdy Cao Menghu, carrying three sacks, walking like a fly and taking the first step.

Zhu Gaochi felt that he was too cowardly, so he got up and said, "This is amazing, this is powerful, I can do the same." ”

A little red and the women were still bending down to pick up the pebbles scattered on the ground, they were tired and panting, and they were drenched in sweat.

Song Jing followed these women, commanding in an orderly manner,

Zhu Neng glanced at Cheng Yuan, his expression was vivid, and then he gritted his teeth and lifted the sack again, and said to Cheng Yuan with a wink: "Look, Brother Cheng, look at it, this Song Jing is too popular with women." ”

"Song Jing, you really have a woman's fate."

Everyone laughed.

……………………

Yang Shiqi was in too much of a hurry to leave Beijing, so many things were actually not prepared too properly, especially he rarely went far away, so at night, he could only let the guards build a simple shack to live in.

This is similar to a place like a shack, there are ants running around under him, and there is no hay mat, and Yang Shiqi is also convinced.

He is a scholar, and there is no post house in this place where he can rest, and even the horse has to be led away.

Where they walked, they could ride horses, but they were enough to turn people apart, and the guards saw with their own eyes that a horse fell straight into a ditch without stumbling, and was limp and unable to move.

Yang Shiqi didn't dare to touch the horse anymore.

The sky is the quilt, and the earth is the bed.

In each of these small huts made of small wooden weeds, there were more than a dozen guards crammed into them.

Yang Shiqi is a scholar, his status is naturally the most noble, in order to show respect for the scholars, those with low official positions try their best to sleep at the mouth of the shack.

For Yang Shiqi, he lives in the innermost, which is also the last special feature of him as a literati and a scholar.

Yang Shiqi sighed in his heart at this moment, he felt that when he entered here, it seemed that all the court was respectful and humble, and the traces of his official family had disappeared without a trace, and he was like this, what was the difference between him and refugees?

Lu Zhen and Chen Ying, the two bad goods, actually said that Zhen Guogong and Cheng Guogong were falsely reporting their credits. That's why I'm like this.

It's still too bad for these goods, and if everyone believes it, they won't let themselves, the cabinet scholars, come in person.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the sky is full of stars.

The snoring of the generals at night is irritating, but the majesty of his scholar can only be used here for a while.

The generals are fine when they are awake.

When they fall asleep, whether they should snore or not is not something they can control.

Yang Shiqi only has patience.

The moon was bright, and occasionally you could hear the sound of cries in the distant village.

Yang Shiqi didn't know who was crying, but he didn't bother to ask, and he didn't want to care about it, and it was a trivial matter whether he was noisy or not, because he was too sleepy now.

Lying in the grass hut, Yang Shiqi began to feel compassionate, he was thinking, he was so windy, he couldn't eat well, and he couldn't sleep well.

That Cheng Yuan and the crown prince must be living in a worse place, they must be sleeping in the ruins, and the people who go to the court can only speed up the consumption of food.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have suffered a lot." Yang Shiqi thought in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more Yang Shiqi felt that he was going to save Zhu Gaochi, Cheng Yuan and Zhu Neng, and he felt that he was very great.

In Yang Shiqi's eyes, Cheng Yuan's current image is already wearing tattered clothes, holding a broken bowl, being a disaster victim in the ruins, and then he has to say that he has made meritorious contributions with the guards of the imperial court.

It's not that Yang Shiqi doesn't believe in Cheng Yuan and Zhu Neng to rebuild the disaster area, but along the way, there are ruins everywhere.

Everywhere there were victims dressed dirtily and with chapped mouths, and Yang Shiqi couldn't help but think about how miserable it would be in Huazhou, which was the hardest hit area.

Although the imperial court sent reinforcements, how many could be scattered to various places.

"Your Highness, Zhenguo Gong, the old man is here to save you and the water and fire."

The more Yang Shiqi thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't sleep, so he directly called all the soldiers up and ordered them to go ahead immediately.

Arrive in Huazhou, where the earth movement is most serious, as soon as possible, so that he can display his talents as a scholar.

Yang Shiqi suddenly had a heroic spirit in his heart, turned over his horse, waited for all the soldiers to be ready, and said: "Everyone rushed overnight, the prince of Zhenguo and the prince are still waiting for us to rescue." ”

This time the soldiers are even more inexplicable, what's wrong with the scholars, doesn't it mean that the soldiers have been rebuilt in Huazhou?

Looking at the dark sky in the mountains, it was still early before dawn, and the dawn was still far away.

Yang Shiqi calculated, he had only slept for less than two hours at most, and he was still tired, he was really worried about Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi, who were not well fed and clothed.

Looking at the ruined houses on both sides, there were no people for a long time, Yang Shiqi closed his eyes again, but the soldiers behind him took the trouble to remind carefully: "Master Yang, you walk slowly, be careful of the danger on the side of the road." ”
