The cloud barges are negligent, and the buckwheat is seen in front of the horse; The sun is full of flowers, and there are red buds all over the ground.

To put it simply, in the eyes of Liu Yi and others, Lingyuan County, the county guard of Huaxing County, the sky is mottled with dark clouds, the daylight is hazy, and the potholes on the ground reflect the pale red sun.

The water is not deep, and it is worthy of a horse's legs; The water is also deep, and there is no harvest in the field.

and last year's rice and wheat bowed, judging the same.

......

Liu Yi, who originally had a strong sense of nostalgia, suddenly lost interest, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he couldn't speak, and thought: Could it be that the richest place in the north of the country was flooded?

The four of them didn't say anything all the way, and on the way, there were occasional people rolling up their trouser legs and straw sandals pinned to their waists, and these people waded through the water, going in and out. Although there is no food on the face, the mood is also very low, and there is a strong sense of powerlessness in the line.

Before entering the city, Liu Yi met an old brother who was quite familiar with him on weekdays, and after inquiring, he understood the general situation.

It turned out that just last year, Yulin Zhonglang took Lu Ling as the special envoy of the Son of Heaven, and led 500 Hu cavalry guards to go to 19 counties in six counties in three states to plan the allocation of funds for the Hongqu and the recruitment of people. After weighing the pros and cons, this Lu Zhonglang finally handed over the matters of raising people and purchasing goods in the section of Hongqu in Huaxing County to Lingyuan Liu.

This is the fat difference in the fat gap, as long as the Liu family seeks a dime a dozen benefits from it, it will be a wealth as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Just when the Liu family was in full swing under the leadership of Liu Ruisheng, the disaster quietly came.

This year was rainy and waterlogged. Huaxing County is close to the Daling River, and the Daling River is the side system of the Yellow River, rich in water and grass, it stands to reason that this Huaxing boundary is not a place where there is a shortage of water, so the construction of a canal in Huaxing County is a very chicken thing in the hearts of discerning people. However, the heavenly family has money, so if you build a canal, you will repair it! But this big canal has not yet been completed, and I don't know what, more than ten days ago, the sluice gate across the main road suddenly burst, and suddenly the waves flooded, flooding Huaxing County completely, and the crops that were about to be harvested were flooded by the monstrous water, and there was not a single seedling left.

The little brother said, "The entire eight counties of Huaxing." All of them were flooded by floods, or flooded by rivers, or washed by rivers, and the flooded villages in a county, from a few villages to more than 100 villages, collapsed houses, from dozens to hundreds, crushed the population, from a few to dozens of people, all of which ranged in severity. In total, more than 1,000 people died in the breach of the levee. ”

And the county guard of Lingyuan County, because of its high pond and high terrain, there is no danger of human life for the time being, however, the situation in the city is not much better, every family is not having a good time, not to mention the crops, the proper grains are not harvested, the house-to-door storage of grain has been left, and the grain in some people's homes is still soaked and moldy, and it is difficult to swallow at all.

There is no harvest and livelihood, lack of materials, prices have risen wildly, the price of grain in rice shops has increased sharply, and the officials have to open warehouses to release grain.

The money is nothing, but the villagers are a group of landlubbers, soaking in the water every day, but people also have problems, suffering from osteoarthritis, gout, lung disease, two or three out of ten. This medicinal herb in the Lingyuan Mountain Range is about to be pulled out!

The familiar brother that Liu Yi met just now was going to the Lingyuan Mountains alone to find some herbs and food.

After listening to Liu Yi's relay, everyone's mood became even heavier, and they muttered to themselves with two big yellow dogs, and they didn't know what the little monk was talking about.

A few people entered Lingyuan County, the water was a little shallow, and the four of them did not delay much, they went directly to Zigui School, and when they entered the door, they could be regarded as returning home.

Stepping in with the front foot, Lang Lang scholar followed, Liu Quansheng was concentrating on leading a group of children to read, reciting the "Four Peoples Moon Order" written by Cui Wei of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In Huaxing County, which has suffered from floods throughout the territory, this is a paradise at this moment.

Seven years ago, the neighborhood helped to renovate the grass house, and deliberately raised the foundation of the grass house, although the Linghe River water flooded the small courtyard, but it was only up to the grass level, and did not flow into the grass house, so that the children who were studying could have a place to stand, which was a blessing in misfortune.

It was also seven years ago that Liu Quansheng's name as Mr. Da was widely spread in the streets and alleys of Lingyuan.

Seeing that Ai Apprentice was leading the school, Dongfang Chunsheng had no intention of disturbing, and the four of them tied the bantam to the stable on the right side of the school.

Sai Chitu saw the return of the owner, and it stomped on the horse's hooves, snorted lightly, and gently pushed Liu Yi with his head, Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to hug the horse's neck, touched left and right, and pampered tightly. Saichi Rabbit gently arched the bantam horses on both sides with his horse's hips left and right, and his expression was called a smug!

After tying up the horses, several people carried their bags and walked straight into the back house where Liu Yi and Liu Quansheng's father and son lived.

The two-entry wooden house in the back room suddenly poured in four people, and it was a little crowded. When Liu Yi entered the house, he saw that there was still a pot, a lamp, a book, and a sword in the house, and even the furnishings were exactly the same as when Liu Yi left, which made Liu Yi feel very cordial.

After entering the house, Dongfang Chunsheng took a nap on the kang, but he didn't close his eyes, and there was a hint of incomprehension in his eyes, this kind of eyes and expressions, even Dongfang Yu, who had been with Dongfang Chunsheng since he was a child, had never seen it.

Liu Yi put down the package, cleaned up the corners and corners, and chatted with Dongfang Yu about the strange things in the rivers and lakes, the three children were very happy in the house, Dongfang Chunsheng saw this, and the expression on his face gradually changed from unpredictable to gentle, from gentle to dignified, and from dignified to resolute.

After a while, the word "up" sounded in the school, and the morning's homework was over, because there was water everywhere outside, Liu Quansheng left the children in the grass house for a lunch break, and served them the meal that had been prepared for them.

Liu Yi saw his father slowly walking towards the back house, and immediately rushed out excitedly, and when he came to the grass house, he knelt straight in front of Liu Quansheng, choked up and said, "Father, the child is not filial, the dear relatives are still there, but I am far away." After traveling, I miss my father all the time. ”

Liu Quansheng didn't expect Dongfang Chunsheng and the four of them to return so quickly, he was shocked at first sight, and then rejoiced.

Immediately, Liu Quansheng immediately stepped forward to help Liu Yi, looked left and right, and after seeing that his hair and skin were undamaged, his excitement was overflowing, his big eyes were slightly red, and he sighed again and again, "Okay, good!" It's good to be back! Look at it for my father, hahaha, tall, strong, and a little heroic! Ok, good, good! In the future, it will be a pillar. ”

At this time, Wang Sanbao, Huangfulu, and Ying Cheng, who took the initiative to stay behind to help clean up the house, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and shouted out "big brother" in unison.

"Haha! Brothers reuniting and friends getting together is one of life's great joys. ”

Liu Yi helped the three of them sideways, and after looking at them again and again, the four of them hugged each other tightly.

What they didn't know was that the four of them hugged tightly, and from then on, they hugged the world.

There was a light cough in the backyard, and Liu Quansheng, who was still sighing, immediately returned to his senses and hurriedly ran to the living room.

Liu Quansheng, who entered the house, saw Dongfang Chunsheng, and it was another happy meeting between master and apprentice!

This time, you and me can be regarded as happiness in the suffering of the flood!

......

For the return of the four, Liu Quansheng did not make a big deal to pick up the wind and wash the dust, during the special period, he did not even greet his neighbors Li Daniu and Huangfu Ke, and there were only five people at the dinner: Dongfang grandson, Yixian and the father and son of the Liu family.

That night, Liu Quansheng took the knife, and after some frying and frying, the four major samples of lightly fried okra, stewed knife fish, boiled eggs, and spicy tofu were served to the table in a basin.

For Ling Yuan, where the river bursts its banks, the people are hungry, and the ingredients are in short supply, this meal is quite difficult, and with two jars of Liu Quansheng's long-cherished Du Kang aging, the four people who have been bumpy all the way are full of praise and praise.

At the banquet, Liu Quansheng did not drink, but vigorously served vegetables to the grandfather and grandson of the East, in contrast, this world-recognized talent showed an attitude towards Liu Yihe, obviously relatively indifferent, Liu Yi only regarded Liu Quansheng as a teacher, and did not care, so he took the initiative to greet Yixian.

Full of wine and food, Liu Quansheng turned out some huge pine nuts out of nowhere and handed them to Liu Yi, asking him to entertain Wang Sanbao, Huangfulu, and Ying Cheng who came to reminisce in the grass house.

In the wooden house of the back house, Liu Quansheng and Dongfang Chunsheng sit opposite each other, and the curtain of the hut is high.

Liu Quansheng boiled the bitter tea cleanly, although there was no rule, but it did not affect the aroma of the bitter tea wafting all over the house. As soon as the tea was boiled, Liu Quansheng saluted Dongfang Chunsheng with his juniors, and then, he bowed his head and waited for Dongfang Chunsheng's admonition.

Dongfang Chunsheng took a sip of bitter tea and put it down gently, the old man looked at Liu Quansheng gently, saw that he was looking at himself warmly, rubbed the folds on his forehead, and suddenly sour his nose.

Dongfang Chunsheng sighed slightly, "A year ago, the old man, I came here with anger, just to ask in person, where did the talented person of the country, the fearless Liu Quansheng, go?" Today, I finally understand that the genius is still the same genius, and the boy is still the same boy. It is said that knowing a son is better than a father, a teacher and a student, I don't understand you, and I can be regarded as living half a life in vain! Shame, shame! ”

Without waiting for Liu Quansheng to give any feedback, Dongfang Chunsheng suddenly laughed, and then solemnly raised his hand and bowed to Liu Quansheng, "Read through ten thousand volumes, and give it to the ancients; has no money, and worries about the world; Liu Quansheng, a true scholar! The old man has been up and down all his life, and it is not in vain to have a halfway apprentice like you who can forbear and scheming! ”

Dongfang Chunsheng, who has always been 'dead and does not admit mistakes', can have such words, Liu Quansheng was unexpectedly tight, in addition to being moved, he hurriedly moved his body, supported Dongfang Chunsheng's right elbow, helped him smooth the uneven breath, and said softly, "Teacher, the apprentice studied in the Confucian Holy Land Xianda School Palace when he was young, and he got acquainted with you when he traveled the rivers and lakes. People who can understand apprentices, in this vast sea of people, there are only two and a half people, one is the Son of Heaven who is far away in Chang'an, and the other is you who are close in front of you! ”

Dongfang Chunsheng laughed.
