Chapter 20: The Broken Temple Floats Incense
Qin Wan immediately jumped into the water and swam in the direction of Chunni.
Just as she was about to reach Chunni's side, the stump of Chunni's tree was suddenly overturned by the flood, and a wave hit her, drowning Chunni in the flood.
Qin Wan searched everywhere underwater, and after a while, he found Chunni's figure under the turbid torrent.
She hugged Chunni and swam to the shore, and by the time she got ashore, she didn't know where she was.
The flood washed them downstream.
"Ahem......"
Chunni spit out a mouthful of turbid water, woke up, and saw Qin Wan, tears fell from her eyes with emotion, "Sister, thank you......"
If it weren't for Qin Wan, she would definitely be dead by now.
Qin Wan observed the surrounding situation, this is a relatively high slope, surrounded by vast floods.
The rain was still falling, and I couldn't see my surroundings clearly, but I could feel that there was no one else nearby except the two of them.
"What's the name of your village?" Qin Wan asked.
"Call down Liutang." Chunni hurriedly replied.
"Let's go, let's go upstream, we should be able to find people in your village."
Qin Wan took Chunni and continued to walk up the slope, she had to return to the broken temple as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know if Huang Mazi and they would do anything to Xing'er and Xiao Yan.
Chunni felt very guilty in her heart, it was because of herself that this sister was swept here by the flood.
The rain soon soaked all their clothes, and their clothes were dripping with water.
Qin Wan had no choice but to take Chunni to find a temporary shelter from the rain.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from a distance.
"People over there, come over here!"
In the hazy rain, Qin Wan saw a black figure in the forest in the distance.
She didn't hesitate and immediately rushed over there with Chunni.
When they got there, seeing the people shouting at them, Qin Wan was stunned.
It's the fat scholar from before.
"Huh?" The fat scholar also recognized Qin Wan at a glance, but he did not reveal Qin Wan's identity as a princess, but said: "This girl, it's too coincidental, come inside to take shelter from the rain!" ”
Only then did Qin Wan discover that there was a faint two-story bamboo building in the forest in the distance.
She hesitated, but walked over with Chunni.
Some water had accumulated on the first floor of the bamboo building, and the fat scholar took them to the second floor.
"My master said that there was a sudden rainstorm, and maybe someone would be in trouble, so he asked me to go over there and have a look, and sure enough, I saw you! You guys are so lucky. The fat boy smiled and pushed the door open.
Qin Wan and Chunni walked in, there were almost no furnishings in the house, and it didn't look like someone was living in it.
The white-clothed scholar was sorting out the books in the cage, and his books were also wet from the rain, so he took them out and spread them out to dry.
Seeing Qin Wan and Chunni coming in, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was puzzled by how Qin Wan's side had changed, but he didn't say it, but smiled gently: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet again, girl, thank you for saving your life last time." ”
"This is your home?" Qin Wan asked.
"No, this is the place where I used to live here, and it was the home of a friend of mine, but he passed away eight years ago, and I came here to miss my old friend, so I revisited the old place, but I didn't expect to encounter this pouring rain." Scholar Dao.
Seeing that he was living here, Qin Wan asked, "Then do you know the location of Liutang?" ”
"Xialiutang is not far from here, and it won't take half an hour to get to the northwest, but now the rain is pouring, so the girl should wait for the rain to stop before leaving." The scholar persuaded.
Qin Wan pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes to look at Chunni beside him.
Thinking of the man's behavior when she met last time, she was a little worried about leaving Chunni here alone.
"No need, I'm afraid my family is worried, let's go back quickly, thank you son." As she spoke, she said to Chunni, "Chunni, let's go." ”
Seeing Qin Wan's insistence, the scholar hurriedly took out a raincoat from the package and handed it to Qin Wan, "If the girl insists on going forward in the rain, please accept this raincoat, otherwise you really can't rest assured." ”
"Thank you." Qin Wan draped the raincoat on Chunni's body, wrapped her tightly, and took her down the bamboo building and headed northwest.
Looking at Qin Wan, who was walking like a fly in the rain, the scholar next to him opened his mouth wide.
"This ...... Princess Wan is so tough now? ”
The scholar looked at the direction of Qin Wan's departure, with a bit of compassion in his eyes, "People can change, and she has had enough hardships from snacks." ”
"Yes, people will become, who would have thought that after Qin Tianfu became emperor, he would become such a beast! The master's hard work for so many years has been in vain! The scholar said indignantly.
But the scholar did not show any righteous indignation, but sighed, turned around and continued to organize his books.
——
Half an hour later.
Qin Wan rushed back to the temple with Chunni, and when she saw Qin Wan like a chicken in soup, Xing'er was very distressed.
Xu Shi also hurriedly said to Cui Niang: "Go and boil a pot of ginger soup." ”
The villagers in the lower willow pond looked at Qin Wan and felt very admired, they didn't expect that Qin Wan and a female streamer would even ignore their own lives and jump into the flood to save people.
They didn't come back for a long time, and many people thought that Qin Wan and Chunni were dead.
After tossing this trip, Qin Wan was also shivering from the cold, and when she went to the broken meditation room on the side, she changed into clean clothes, and then squatted by the fire and drank a bowl of ginger soup hotly, she felt better.
"Xing'er, you bring a bowl of ginger soup to Chunni." Qin Wan said.
Without waiting for Xing'er to pass, Chunni came to Qin Wan, knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Wan.
"Chunni thank you, sister! For saving her life, Chunni will repay her sister even if she makes cows and horses! Chunni said gratefully.
Qin Wan beckoned to Chunni, "Come over and roast the fire." ”
Chunni hurriedly sat down next to Qin Wan, Xing'er handed her the bowl of ginger soup in her hand, also sat down on the side, and said with a smile: "Drink some ginger soup to warm up." ”
"Thank you, Sister Xing'er." Chunni said obediently.
The matter here is over, and seeing that the rain has not stopped, everyone is anxious.
"Oh my God, when is this rain going to be?"
"Seeing that the crops are about to be harvested, they are all drowned now, how can they live in the second half of the year!"
"Don't worry, the imperial court will definitely send relief food."
"But I heard that we will raise taxes this year, will the imperial court give us relief food?"
“……”
There was an eerie silence for the people in the lower willow pond.
Qin Wan came back, and everyone on the Xiao family's side also started to cook dinner.
Qin Wan asked the Xu family to cut a large piece of pork, took three whole cabbages, potatoes, and noodles, and squatted in three pots of pork noodles and skin soup.
As soon as the seasoning went, there was a smell of meat wafting in the entire ruined temple.
Not only did the people in the exile team start drooling, but even the villagers in Xialiutang couldn't get enough of it.
Almost all of them, the ordinary poor people, have not eaten meat for months.
During the meal, Qin Wan also served a bowl to Chunni beside her, and Chunni held this bowl of thick pork noodle soup, which contained six or seven pieces of meat.
It's also too hearty!
