Ye Qiong said firmly: "Lord Wang, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Just bet on whether this pomegranate village will be flooded tonight, if the pomegranate village is not flooded tonight, my Ye family Sanfang is willing to compensate the villagers for all the losses. If the pomegranate village is flooded tonight......"

Ye Qiong bowed to all the people present: "My father is still in prison, and he invited me to come here to evacuate the people. If the pomegranate village is really flooded tonight, it means that he saved everyone's lives, and please spread the word about my father's role in this matter. ”

Liu Dazhuang was a little shaken, and Wang Zhuo said: "Second Miss Ye, the government will not be involved in this matter. However, if this happens, I will also show mercy to your father. Of course, on the other hand, if the pomegranate village is not flooded, the Ye family's three rooms will not only compensate the people for their losses, but I will also hold you and your father accountable to the court. Even so, are you willing to gamble? ”

In the wind and rain, Ye Qiong was long and jade, although she looked a little embarrassed by the blowing of the storm, it was still difficult to hide her elegance, she smiled confidently and said, "Bet, why not bet?" Wang Zhixian can start thinking about how to write the recital of intercession for my father. ”

Of course Ye Qiong dares to bet!

After getting the map drawn by her father and seeing the pomegranate village circled in red, Ye Qiong finally remembered the days of the autumn flood.

In the previous life, there was a piece of news that caused a sensation in the entire Daliang capital:

On the twenty-fourth day of October in the 22nd year of Shunhe, Pomegranate Village, Panlong Town, a suburb of Daliang Beijing, was flooded overnight, and hundreds of lives were lost under the water.

Emperor Shunhe, who knew the news, was furious and wore plain clothes for seven days to go to court.

Ye Qiong clearly remembered the news because it was the second day after the mourning period of her parents on 7749, and it was the day when she was accepted into the palace by the Queen Mother.

Ye Qiong was grateful to Emperor Shunhe in her heart, because of Emperor Shunhe's love for the people, she was able to wear plain clothes for a few more days, and she was supposed to keep a few more days of filial piety for her family, so she remembered the changes in Pomegranate Village and that date very well.

This is Ye Qiong's confidence.

The time of the natural disaster will not be changed because of manpower, but the impact of the natural disaster can be minimized because of Ye Qiong's intervention, and Ye Qiong is naturally willing to make this bet.

Wang Zhuo was surprised by Ye Qiong's confidence, and bowed slightly.

Master Puxuan on the side didn't expect Ye Qiong to guarantee all the wealth of the Ye family's three rooms and the future of her family, and she was moved to tears for a while, and made a Buddhist salute to Ye Qiong, saying: "The second girl Ye is really a good person, I promise you, if the bet is lost, Daxiangguo Temple is willing to pay all the compensation, and I will also write with my master to explain this matter to His Majesty, please rest assured." ”

Lu Shaodan ignored Cui Shijiu's desire to speak, and also promised Ye Qiong: "If you lose the bet, I will also ask the family to intercede for you." ”

Ye Qiong was slightly stunned, she knew in her heart that Lu Shaodan was actually referring to his own town.

Lu Shaodan's implication is that if the bet is lost, he is willing to intercede for Ye Qiong at the cost of his identity being exposed.

Ye Qiong's eyes were sour, and she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped away her tears, before she solemnly thanked Master Puxuan and Lu Shaodan.

Wang Zhuo personally helped Liu Dazhuang up and said, "Second Miss Ye has done this, you are also relieved, right?" ”

Liu Dazhuang scratched his head honestly and said, "Okay, since Lord Wang also said so, I agreed." Village chief, the old lady of my family is still paralyzed, how can I move......"

Lu Shaodan took the initiative to say: "I'll come, I'll pick up people with you." ”

Liu Dazhuang responded with a smile, and the two walked towards the village with a smile.

Ye Qiong looked at the backs of Lu Shaodan and Liu Dazhuang, and finally a smile appeared on her face.

……………………

There is a mountain in Panlong Town, called Qixia Mountain, and there is a temple on the mountain called Qixia Temple.

Now it is the time of the day, and the lights in the Qixia Temple are bright, as bright as day.

The people of the whole pomegranate village are gathered here, and there are even a few dogs and a few chickens in the temple, and the dogs can still lie quietly at the feet of the master, but the chickens are running up and down and screaming, making the main hall of Qixia Temple as lively as a vegetable market.

It was already late, and for the villagers of Pomegranate Village, who were resting at sunrise and sunset, this hour should have gone to sleep, but no one fell asleep, even the children lying in their mother's arms opened their eyes and asked their mothers: "A-Niang, will the village really be flooded?" ”

His mother couldn't answer, just patted the child and said, "Go to sleep, Miss Ye Er said, she brought meat and cooked porridge for us tomorrow morning." ”

The child really had a big heart, although he still couldn't sleep, but he was really diverted, pulled his mother's shirt and said, "A-Niang remember to call me!" ”

Master Puxuan, who watched the whole process, felt sour and emotional, and didn't know how to persuade him, but he just said "Amitabha" to the Buddha statue in the main hall with low eyebrows.

Master Puxuan was old, and he couldn't bear it at the end of the day, so he only looked at the candles in the hall with the mother-in-law brought by Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong had not rested, and was carrying lanterns with Master Puyun, the abbot of Qixia Temple, and shuttling between the people who were covering in Qixia Temple. Behind Ye Qiong, Lu Shaodan followed closely with his sword, and his posture was so loose that it was impossible to ignore.

Originally, Ye Qiong's resettlement place for Pomegranate Village was not Qixia Temple, but Master Puxuan pointed out Qixia Temple from the map circled by Ye Qiong's father. Although Qixia Temple looks far away from Pomegranate Village on the map, in fact, there is a relatively gentle and wide avenue between the two places, and the abbot of Qixia Temple is the younger brother of Master Puxuan. After Ye Qiong and Master Puxuan discussed with Village Chief Liu, they resettled here.

Not long ago, Ye Qiong also received the news brought by Ye Jin and Ye Lang, and they also successfully evacuated the people, which made Ye Qiong feel relieved.

Ye Qiong followed Master Puyun and walked to a woman first, she was the one who said that the child was sick before, Ye Qiong squatted down, looked at the child in her arms, and asked in a low voice with concern: "This sister, is your child okay, can running back and forth like this aggravate his illness?" ”

During the confrontation at the entrance of the village, Ye Qiong was wearing a cloak and a hat, and it was far away, and the woman didn't see what Ye Qiong looked like at all. Now that it was close, and there was the light of the lantern, the woman suddenly realized that this Ye Er girl was so young, and when she saw Ye Qiong's picturesque eyes and kind tone, she felt a little closer and sympathetic in her heart.

Village Chief Liu has said that if this big water doesn't come, and Miss Ye Er promises to compensate for all the losses, how much silver will it be!

The woman's expression eased a lot, and she took the initiative to let Ye Qiong touch the child's forehead and said, "After taking the medicine I brought, I have already felt much better." Miss Ye Er took away the quilt that was distributed to us and gave it to those who needed it more. ”

Ye Qiong shook her head and said, "Children's illnesses are easy to recur, so you can use this quilt with confidence." Although we didn't have many quilts, it was enough to divide a few beds. ”

The woman smiled and nodded, not refusing.

Pu Yun, who was beside Ye Qiong, had been paying attention to her movements, and nodded quietly with satisfaction and appreciation.

Miss Ye Er does not have the arrogance of the official daughter, she is approachable, and it is no wonder that her senior brother Puxuan has always praised her with herself.

As soon as Ye Qiong got up, Village Chief Liu hurriedly found Ye Qiong with another woman, and said anxiously: "Second Miss Ye, it's not good, Liu Dazhuang went to Pomegranate Mountain, and he hasn't come back yet!" ”

Ye Qiong's face changed instantly, and she hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Seeing this, Ye Qiong hurriedly asked the woman to sit down first, and asked Village Chief Liu to invite someone from Pomegranate Village who knew a little about medicine to come over, and persuaded the woman: "Don't worry, slow down first, it's okay, everything has us." ”

Village Chief Liu brought a doctor over, and when the doctor saw this, he first pricked a few needles, and then asked the woman to feed the woman, and the woman's illness was really alleviated a lot, grabbing Ye Qiong's sleeve and crying: "The rain was light for a while, and my husband Liu Dazhuang remembered that on the mountainside of Pomegranate Mountain, there were two families who did not live in the village in order to watch the pomegranate from time to time, and they had not been notified yet, so they went over to call them." I didn't worry much when I saw that the rain was light, but suddenly the rain became heavy again, and he didn't come back for a whole hour. I'm really worried, I'm afraid that something will happen to him and those two families, and I asked Miss Ye Er to save them, whether it's dead or alive, I have to know! ”

Ye Qiong immediately made a decision: "Don't worry, this sister, I'll take someone up the mountain to have a look." ”

Saying that, Ye Qiong asked Village Chief Liu again: "Village Chief, please ask two heroes who know more about the situation on Pomegranate Mountain to guide us, I am willing to give ten taels of silver each, and ask the villagers to do a favor." ”

Village Chief Liu waved his hand again and again, and before he could speak, a pair of brothers in the hall stood up and recommended themselves to Ye Qiong: "Let's go, brothers, we are all good at picking pomegranates, and we are familiar with that mountain." Miss Ye Er doesn't have to give us money, all the villagers in the township, whoever is in trouble should help. ”

Ye Qiong praised the "good man", and blessed Lu Shaodan and Cui Shijiu, saying: "Among the people present, Brother Shaodan and Uncle Cui have the highest martial arts, I don't know if you are willing to accompany me on this trip?" ”

Lu Shaodan frowned and asked, "You want to go too?" ”

Ye Qiong bowed her head and said firmly, "I should go and see." First, I am not at ease, and secondly, this matter started because of me, and I am responsible for the life and death of everyone, and I must follow. Don't worry, I know how many pounds and taels I have, I just watch from afar, you don't let me move, I will never move. ”

Lu Shaodan sighed and could only nod in agreement.

Cui Shijiu followed all the way, and he was already very impressed by the second girl of the Ye family, and when he saw that Lu Shaodan agreed, he also hugged Ye Qiong and said, "Cui is also willing to follow." ”

The sick and weak woman cried even louder, sobbing and about to kneel down for a few people, but Ye Qiong directly helped her up and said, "This sister, we won't delay the hour, you stay here, I will give you an answer." ”

At this point, Ye Qiong immediately followed a few people to put on a poncho and hat and stepped into the rain.
