Chapter 114: Rains in the capital

In February, the second dragon raised its head, and in early February, it rained heavily in the capital for seven consecutive days, which was unprecedented since the completion of the middle capital. The excretory system in the outer city is inherently poor. The water fills the whole capital, especially in the outer city, and the water recedes three days after the rain. The rain washed away many wooden bridges and roads, and the Guangji Bridge leading from Xidingmen to Fengkou was washed down, cutting off traffic.

After the flood, the Xiding Gate became a dead door, and few people entered or exited. The after-disaster effects of this heavy rain are particularly serious, because the roads are impassable, many daily necessities cannot be transported for a while, and the shortage of goods has led to soaring prices, and the hearts of the people in the capital are fluctuating.

On the fifth day of the Xidingmen barracks, the school field was flooded with water, the Xiding City Gate was originally low, and the water of the entire capital was discharged to the Xiding Gate, and the Xiding Gate did not dare to close again, becoming a big mouth for flood discharge. On the eighth day, the rain finally stopped, and Tang Tong led the officers and soldiers to devote themselves to the disaster relief to dredge the stagnant water near the barracks, and the water began to slowly recede.

On the ninth day, the water in the outer city receded. Tang Tong also organized officers and soldiers to clean up the mud on Pingding Street and clean up the streets. The Jishui River outside the city swelled, the Guangji Bridge was submerged in the torrent, the road to the south has been washed away, there were few people going to this road, and now the road on both sides is not passable, except for the people who go out from Xidingmen to see the rising water, no one enters and exits at all. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate also relaxed, closed the city gate after dark, and the training of the military camp also stopped.

On this day, Tang Tong commanded people to clean up the mud and dead corners in the barracks, Xiao Ningzi came to report that Qin Xinyi brought the hugging qin and into the painting, and a few family members came to visit the scholar. Because there was water in the scrivener's house, he took a few days off to clean up the house and the mud. Tang Tong explained, and immediately took He Wang and Xiao Ningzi and went straight to the bookkeeper's house. The area around the scrivener was already a low-lying area, and it was even more heavily flooded.

When I arrived at the bookkeeper's house, the floodline covered a small half of the house, and only some valuable things were robbed, and large items such as beds and cabinets were swollen with water, and most of them could not be used. Xiao Ningzi's news was still quite timely, and when Tang Tong arrived, Qin Xinyi didn't arrive long.

Qin Xinyi's arrival surprised the waiter, but the tables, chairs and benches were all swollen with water bubbles, and there was not even a decent seat, Qin Xinyi kept standing. Probably all the way, plus standing, Qin Xinyi was a little tired. When he was hesitating, Tang Tong leaned over to her, "Miss Qin! It's really considerate, even I forgot that the scholar's house is low, and it is the most heavily flooded.", he said and looked at Qin Xinyi.

The waiter was a little jealous, "Tang Duwei is a busy person, only our young lady can let you leave everything!".

Tang Tong walked up to Qin Xinyi's side and said to the waiter with a smile: "I'm worried that Miss Qin will have an accident in this mixed place, if there is anything you want to help, please say it directly!"

The waiter also saw that Qin Xinyi was paying attention to Tang Tong's every move, and was even more polite, "This is what you said, now the carpenters in the capital are too busy, find a carpenter, I am very grateful to Tang Duwei!".

Tang Tong didn't have to think about it, he immediately turned his head to Xiao Ningzi and said, "Xiao Ningzi, go and call Qiu Ming!" You and Qiu Ming will stay and help until the house is repaired! That's right! The cost is calculated on the house.", Xiao Ningzi responded.

Tang Tong turned his head to look at Qin Xinyi, "Miss Qin!" How's it going?".

Qin Xinyi didn't look at him, and asked the waiter with concern, "Do you want my help?"

How could the waiter let Miss get into danger, and immediately shook his head, "It's good that Miss can come, there is Tang Duwei, he is a capable man, don't worry about Miss Lao.".

Qin Xinyi knew that she couldn't help, and she came here for a purpose, she heard that the Xiding City Gate was flooded, and she was very worried about the situation here, and it was an excuse to come to see the servant, and she was very concerned about Tang Tong's situation. Seeing that Tang Tong was still the same as before, he relieved himself and saluted Tang Tong: "Then there is Captain Lao Tang!".

Tang Tong hurriedly waved his hand, "The matter of the maid is my business, and I am willing to serve!".

Qin Xinyi just nodded and did not respond. Tang Tong didn't care, and said with concern: "There has just been a big flood here, and it is easy to get infectious diseases, why don't we go out!", after speaking, he turned his head to look at the waiter, meaning to wait for the book to persuade her Miss.

The waiter understood and immediately said to Qin Xinyi: "Miss! There are a lot of mosquitoes in this place, so it's better for Miss to leave first!".

Qin Xinyi went up to the waiter, a little reluctant, "Then you should pay attention too!" Come back early!", and said to his father, who had been sitting, "Uncle, take care!" I'm leaving.".

The squire's father hurriedly waved his hand, "Miss Qin! Let's go!", Qin Xin nodded and walked forward, Tang Tong followed closely beside her, reminding Qin Xinyi to pay attention to the waste pile in front of her.

Seeing Tang Tong like this, Qin Xinyi asked, "Tang Duwei has always been so idle?"

Tang informed Qin Xinyi of what he meant, and he was very calm, "It's more chaotic here, I deliberately took the time to escort you, and I will have to go back to the barracks later!", Qin Xinyi was still very moved when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

After a moment of silence, Tang Tong started the topic, "Recently, a thousand general sundries were on vacation, and I brought his soldiers, and now I'm busy enough!" I rarely go back to home.", still reminding me to pay attention to my feet.

Qin Xinyi looked at Tang Tong and said affirmatively, "This thousand is always Lan Tingshu, right?".

Tang Tongbi was surprised, "How did Miss Qin know?".

Qin Xinyi didn't answer Tang Tong's words, she was laughing alone, "If you cause trouble, you will suffer your own guilt!".

Tang Tong understood what Qin Xinyi meant, and he also had a smile on his face, looking very tall, "Who told me to be so kind!".

Qin Xinyi was amused by Tang Tong's self-righteousness, how could there be such a disapproving person in the world. Covering his mouth and sarcastically, "You hurt people, and you still say it's kind?".

Tang Tong saw that Qin Xin had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "I had no choice but to hurt Lan Gongzi at the time, and now it is also kind to help him like this!".

When Qin Xinyi heard this, Tang Tong was right, Qin Xinyi was still happy in her heart, she wanted to see such an ending. But I don't understand Tang Tong so warm-heartedly, "In the end, it's still your fault, and others may not be able to understand your kindness?".

Tang Tong was open-minded and didn't take this matter to heart, "I can do a little bit by myself, and if people can't withstand this setback, it's really immeasurable!".

Qin Xinyi didn't expect Tang Tong to say such a thing, and looked at Tang Tong with some surprise. Seeing Tang Tong turn around to look at himself, he immediately turned his head, "Will you two understand each other?"

Tang Tong also said blankly: "I don't know! As long as I have worked hard, I have no regrets about success or failure, and the other party can feel my sincerity!".

Tang Tong's eyes were already looking forward when he spoke, but when he turned his head and saw that Qin Xinyi was also looking at him, his eyes were facing each other, Tang Tong stopped and said sincerely: "Just like I did it to you, I tried all my sincerity but failed, I no longer have regrets in my life, because I have fought sincerely!", the words were very straightforward, Qin Xinyi was obviously touched.

Tang Tong's sincere confession made Qin Xinyi at a loss, and she panicked for a while, "What are you talking about?".

Tang Tong was out of control, "Miss Qin, can't you understand my sincerity?", such a confession would be out of the norm for anyone, not to mention that Qin Xinyi, a person who confines her heart in her heart, doesn't know how to answer, so she can only move forward excitedly and no longer pay attention to Tang Tong.

Tang Tong couldn't chase anymore, Hug Qin and into the painting followed behind, Hug Qin came up and complained to him, "Look at what you said?", after speaking, he hurriedly caught up with Qin Xinyi.

Tang Tong also hurriedly caught up and followed the two of them. When she arrived on the street, Qin Xinyi hurriedly got into the carriage, and Tang Tong stood next to the carriage and apologized, "Miss Qin! This is my sincere words, but it makes you embarrassed! Please forgive me for being too direct!"..

Qin Xinyi didn't respond, when everyone arrived, the carriage and Xiang Chongwu Gate marched, Tang Tong had been following behind, and when he was about to reach Chongwu Gate, Tang Tong rushed to the side of the carriage, "Miss Qin!" I'll go to Chongwumen soon, the back will be safe, there is still something in the barracks, don't pass by, please forgive me for my recklessness!", after speaking, he stopped and watched the carriage go away before leaving.

After walking a long way, the curtain behind the carriage was lifted, it was Qin Xinyi looking back, but Tang Tong could no longer be seen, only pedestrians on the street, Qin Xinyi's mood was complicated.
