"Gardenia? How do you ......" she called out in dismay, unusually surprised that he would appear at her own critical moment.

But somehow, as soon as he appeared, those worries in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Li Yi squinted at her in confusion, and silently moved the handle of the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to hers. Then he rolled up his sleeves and looked ready to go. He calmly asked again to the consummation on the other side, "Where are the sandbags nearby?" ”

Cheng hurriedly replied: "Dock! There is it in the warehouse of the dock! And it's not far from here. ”

Li Yan raised his face and said concisely: "Lead the way." ”

Jin Yunlan looked at the figures of the two of them who had already rushed away, and then consciously abandoned the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and followed them.

At that moment, she realized that Li Yan looked calm and calm on the outside, but in fact, there was a scorching fire burning in his heart, decisive and crisp.

The three of them came to the dock, picked the lock of the warehouse door, and the mountains of sandbags came into view, and the three of them walked in, as if surrounded by mountains.

"There are still three hours until dawn, hurry up." After Li Yi said this, he easily picked up four bags of sandbags and threw them on the cart on the side. Once the cart was full, he handed over the handle to the consummation and asked her to make the cart deliver the sandbags to the site and back to continue transporting.

Immediately, he gave another order to Jinyunlan: "Jinyunlan, use your speed to escape and transport all the sandbags on this wall to the river embankment before dawn." ”

"What about you?" She asked.

Li Yi turned around and walked to the other wall, put his hand on a clean sandbag, and said calmly, "I'm in charge of these two walls." ”

"Divide me in half, I can do it." Seeing that his workload had doubled, Jinyunlan intended to help him reduce his burden, but he refused, "Don't talk nonsense, do it quickly." ”

"Oh." She obediently obeyed, no longer bothered with him, picked up the sandbag and ran all the way.

Li Yi grabbed four sandbags and held one corner of each in the palm of his hand, easily picked up eight sandbags and hurried to the place where the embankment collapsed.

Fortunately, the pier is not far from the site of the collapse. The three of you come and go, and you don't even have time to say hello and greetings to each other.

The distance of fifteen zhang is not long, but it is not short, and with the concerted efforts of the three of them, the foundation of the lowest layer was soon laid, and then the sandbags of the second layer were also stacked in the hour before dawn. 3rd floor, 4th floor...... The pace is accelerating.

This is also thanks to Li Yi's righteous joining, which can be so smooth.

The rain was not as inhuman as Jinyunlan had predicted. As it approached dawn, it was much smaller. At that time, the three of them were soaking wet.

Perfection leaned against a solid and heavy sandbag wall, panting with an umbrella.

After Jin Yunlan finished the last work in hand, she straightened up to look for Li Yan's figure.

He was hunched over, working hard with his head over in front of him. The river soaked the corners of his shoes and clothes. So he simply took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, and lifted up the corners of his dark clothes and stuffed them into his belt at will, so that half of his little leg was soaked in mud and sand.

After three hours of hard work, he finally felt a little tired. He sat in a sandbag, breathing heavily in the rain, letting the raindrops run across the bridge of his tall nose and trickle down the tip of his nose.

Jin Yunlan quietly walked to his side and sat down, took out a handkerchief that had been wrung out several times to wipe the dense raindrops on his face for him, and did not forget to thank him: "Thank you for your hard work." If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a hard time getting through this. ”

Li Yi glanced at her lazily, took the handkerchief from her hand, and rubbed her face herself. His tone was tepid, and his voice was hoarse due to exhaustion: "No. I just don't want to owe you a favor. ”

"What favor?" Jin Yunlan tilted her head and asked in confusion.

Li Yi covered his face with a handkerchief, quite ashamed, "Lychee." ”

When Jin Yunlan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "I thought that Lychee's favor would have been repaid on the night I had a fever." ”

She viciously pulled his hand to hide his face, and went to look at him: "What about the favors of chestnut cake and salt-baked chicken?" She asked.

Li Yi glanced at her: "Don't take an inch." ”

Jinyun Lan smiled, quietly sat a little closer, and carefully brushed the fallen hair behind his ears.

He didn't shy away.

Cheng Cheng hid not far away, biting his handkerchief, looking at the embarrassed but beautiful backs, he couldn't help but sigh: If Young Master Bai Tan sees this scene, I'm afraid he will lift the whole of Junmei Mountain.

When it was white in the east, there was a staggered sound of footsteps near the embankment. Perfection is like facing a great enemy, tiptoeing to look at a group of figures running from a distance. She hurriedly ran a few steps backwards, rushed to the two who were still "flirting", and said in a hurry: "Someone is coming!" ”

Li Yi stood up slowly, and left with his back to them without saying a word.

Everyone knew that he could not stay here.

Jin Yunlan quietly looked at his hidden figure in the mist and rain, her eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance. Behind her hands, she lowered her towering shoulders as if she had made up her mind, and asked the consummation beside her with her eyes shining: "Consummation, do you think it is possible for me and Ah Yi?" ”

Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then let out a completely disapproving sneer. Because it sounded very unpleasant, he was glanced at by Jinyun Lan.

Consummation replied: "If marriage is compared to an exam, the perfect score is 10. In your current state, there are probably ......"

"How many points?" Jin Yunlan asked excitedly.

Seeing that she was a little annoyed waiting, she said angrily: "Minus 10,000 points!" ”

Jin Yunlan immediately hung her head, "However, I always feel that he is not unintentional to me, otherwise he would not have taken the risk and come down the mountain to help me." ”

Cheng Cheng stretched out a finger and shook it from side to side in front of her, looking like a bystander was wise, "Wrong, wrong, wrong." What stands in your way is not a lack of understanding, but a position. Miss, you are going to be the patriarch. Jinyun has a bad relationship with the Li clan, and it is only after you become the patriarch that you can change it. If it is known in advance that you are in private contact, do you still have a chance to compete? Not to mention, I have to talk about marriage with him. ”

Consummation is not bad at all. At that time, her father was in a hurry to arrange a marriage for her in order to pave the way for her, so as to block the leisurely mouth of the elders in the clan. Before the overall situation was decided, her relationship with the Li clan was exposed, not only could she not be the patriarch, but she would also be regarded as a traitor in the clan.

For the sake of the overall situation, before taking the position of patriarch, she had to endure the humiliation and maintain her estrangement from the Li family.

She pondered for a while, and suddenly a snow light flashed in her mind, and her dark face suddenly lit up, "Those elders are just afraid that I will be burdened by family affairs and have no time to take care of the affairs of the clan, so I can declare celibacy." When the matter was completed, I intermarried him on the pretext of strengthening the friendship between the two races. Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Cheng Cheng bowed his head thoughtfully, as if he sincerely admired her good ideas, but his tone was cruel and harsh, "Yes, yes, Miss, you are right. But can you afford to wait, can Li Yan wait? The patriarch is in the prime of life, but you are still young, Miss. Even if the patriarch had the intention to abdicate as soon as possible, the elders of the clan would never agree to hand over the entire city of Los Angeles to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. It is inevitable that you will have to wait until you have experienced a lot of battles and experience before you are entrusted with important responsibilities. At that time, are you sure that Li Yi is still alive? Have you forgotten that Li Shi will not live to be thirty? ”

When Jin Yunlan heard the last sentence, she couldn't bear to close her eyes, her smile and hope were swept away in an instant, and she fell into a bottomless melancholy. Her spirit collapsed along with her shoulders, and she sat listlessly on the sandbag.

In my spare time, I also read similar scripts, the heroes and heroines who are in opposition have gone through hardships and dangers, and they still have not been able to achieve positive results after overcoming obstacles, and when they see their separation from heaven and earth, or the end of eternal separation between heaven and man, there is only a little sadness in the chest, and the effort of a meal is forgotten.

Now that I have encountered this incident, I know that it is not easy to be sour in the center.

Consummation was still chattering her warning, but her tone was much softer than the direct cruelty before, "Miss. At present, there are many difficulties, and the tense relationship between Li and Jinyun is put aside for the time being. These three times and twice framed, but you have to be vigilant. In the past, you were already very cautious, only acting at night. But judging from this incident, the Great Elder's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and although he is not in the city, there may be his eyes and ears left in the city. We have to be careful, we need to be more careful in the future, and we have to go less to the empty mountain. ”

Jin Yunlan blocked her tired eyes, and the moment the darkness hit, distressed thoughts instantly invaded her mind. Many pictures and clips flashed in front of her, making her at a loss for a while.

The flood control brigade soon arrived, and the person in charge who took over from Jin Yunlan to follow up on the flood control matter, Chen Yin. He wore a hat on his head and a robe, and wrapped his not burly figure tightly, for fear of being harmed by a drop of rain, but he still could not hide the smell of alcohol on his body.

Seeing that his face was still red, it was obvious that he was too drunk last night, and he didn't know where he was sleeping, no wonder the lightning and thunder all night did not wake him up for half a minute.

Now that he saw the tragic situation here, he couldn't help but feel numb in the back of his head. He panicked back and forth between the collapsing levees, relieved to be sure that it was not the result of the flooding.

Cheng Cheng stepped forward to explain the cause and effect to him, and the person in charge did not take much time from the initial nod to the later righteousness. He even walked up to Jin Yunlan in the end, snorted with her self-righteously, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, eldest lady, I will never say anything about this." ”

Jinyun Lan looked at him incredulously, and said with hidden anger: "I don't know, what are you referring to?" ”
