Chapter 293: Flood
With the identification of the light, Xin Yu and his party entered the city smoothly.
Baiyun County is smaller than Ling County, and only the county government is the most suitable for such a team. The county magistrate's surname is Zhao, and he led the yamen to be busy with everything else, lest he snub these big people.
The rain was neither heavy nor light, and it didn't stop for two days. Xin Yu stood under the porch, looking at the boundless rain curtain in a daze.
Familiar footsteps could be heard behind him.
He Qingxiao stood beside her, and also looked into the rain: "Is Xin Zhizhao bored?" β
There is no need to hide his identity, and the titles of "eldest brother" and "second brother" will naturally be gone.
"It's a little boring, I don't know how long I'll have to wait before I can leave." Xin Yu didn't look sideways at the man who stopped beside her.
Maybe it's because he knows too many secrets about her, and the longer she gets along, the more she gets to be relaxed in front of him.
"It's time to rest." He Qingxiao looked at her smooth curved side face, and her tone was gentle.
is the appearance of a delicate young man, but what is cast into his eyes is the bright and fresh appearance of a girl.
The drizzle flew in diagonally, and some of it hit Xinyu's robe. She didn't care, and smiled at He Qingxiao: "Lord He is right, you should rest." β
was obviously repeating his words, but being looked at by these eyes with a shallow smile, He Qingxiao felt a little uncomfortable.
"Do you want to play chess?" He asked.
The two were accommodated in two adjoining rooms, and the chess equipment was ready-made. Before a game of chess was finished, a faint commotion was heard.
The sound was muffled by the sound of rain a lot, but it was clear to the two people who had practiced martial arts since childhood.
Xin Yu pinched the hand of the chess piece, threw the chess piece into the can, and stood up.
"I don't know what's going on. Lord He, let's go and have a look. β
He Qingxiao also got up and picked up the bamboo umbrella placed by the door.
The two hurried over, and saw Zhao Zhixian with a solemn expression, and he was putting on his coat and walking out.
"Zhao Zhixian, has something happened?" He Qingxiao asked.
"There is a village that is low-lying and flooded, and the lower officials will take people to see it."
Since May, this situation has been encountered intermittently many times, and although Zhao Zhixian is worried, he is not panicked.
"Zhao Zhixian, let's go and have a look with you." Xin Yu looked at Zhao Zhixian fixedly, and the hand in his sleeve clenched hard.
Zhao Zhixian was stunned when he heard this, and his first reaction was to refuse: "The rain hasn't stopped, and the road is difficult to walk, so Gongzi Xin and Master He should have a good rest in the yazhong." β
Others don't say that if this Xin Gongzi has a mistake, then he can't afford it.
"I've been off for the past two days. Let's go with Zhao Zhixian, maybe we can help. He Qingxiao said.
Zhao Zhixian saw that the people in charge of protecting Xin Gongzi said so, and did not refuse again.
The group traveled by car, and halfway through it changed to walking, and arrived at the village.
The people of the village came out, took refuge in the high ground, looked at the scattered houses and sighed.
"The thief is not good, this rain does not stop, and the stagnant water has poured into the house, how many things have been ruined!"
"Alas, it's good that people are okay."
"Parents are here!"
Soon, the villagers surrounded Zhao Zhixian and his party, competing to talk about the difficulties.
Xin Yu silently looked over and found that the situation in this village was much better than she thought.
When she heard that it was flooded, she thought that it was the water that had washed away the village, but in fact it was stagnant water that poured into the house, and there was a loss of property, but people were fine.
Xin Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Zhao Zhixian, who was surrounded by villagers.
She wanted to follow, thinking that being able to help was part of it, and then it was to save Zhao Zhixian.
If there is no external force to change, Zhao Zhixian will not be able to go back.
Looking at it in the past two days, Zhao Zhixian's ability may not be outstanding, but he is a person who loves the people and is worth saving.
"The terrain here is low, so the villagers can go to their relatives and friends first, and if they don't have relatives or friends, they can temporarily go to the city and live in a resettlement center, and then come back when the rain passes. As for the loss of property, the government will record it first, and then subsidize it as appropriate......"
The villagers calmed down under Zhao Zhixian's reassurance, and said one after another: "It won't take long for the stagnant water to recede, let's go to Shanghe Village to stay for a few days." β
There are two villages in this area, one is called Shanghe Village, which is high; One is called Xiahe Village, which is low-lying terrain.
The name of the village is simple and straightforward, it was originally a branch of a village, and almost every family is related to each other.
Zhao Zhixian brought a lot of officials over, and when he saw that the villagers had reached an agreement, he instructed the officials to help the villagers carry sundries.
On the way to Shanghe Village, Zhao Zhixian walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow and said to He Qingxiao: "Later, the lower official plans to go to the river embankment to have a look, and Lord He will send Gongzi Xin back first." β
"Let's go to Shanghe Village firstβ"
Before He Qingxiao finished speaking, he saw Zhao Zhixian's whole person sinking down, and then he was dragged by Xin Yu.
"Is the old man okay?"
The sudden change startled the officials who came with him.
The lieutenant suddenly reacted and was shocked: "This is that puddle!" β
The villagers were also frightened.
The water surface of the puddle was flat and muddy with the waterlogged pavement. If the county lord falls in, he will suffer a lot if he can't drown!
The lieutenant chief repeatedly made compensation to Zhao Zhixian.
Zhao Zhixian waved his hand to tell the chief not to go to his heart, staring at the place where he almost fell for a while.
If you fall into it, you will lose at least half a life!
"Thank you Gongzi Xin for helping and saving the life of the lower official." After Zhao Zhixian reacted, he thanked Xin Yu.
The rain is still falling, and although it is light, it is also annoying. Xin Yu raised his hand and pressed the somewhat crooked hat: "It's a gesture." Now is not the time to talk about this, let's go to Shanghe Village first. β
Zhao Zhixian nodded gratefully and shouted: "Remind the villagers to pay attention to their feet, the child can hold it." β
Shanghe Village is not far from Xiahe Village, and even if it is a wadling water, it takes less than two quarters of an hour to arrive.
The lieutenant governor here had already received the letter, and the two lieutenant chiefs exchanged a few words and shouted to resettle the villagers. The scene is noisy but orderly.
Xin Yu saw a different scene.
The flood rolled in, mixed with branches and debris, swept everything away from far and near, engulfing everything.
Every time her eyes swept over a person, she saw the painful expression of the person struggling and rising in the torrent.
One, two, three......
There was a sharp pain in his eyes, Xin Yu raised his hand to cover his eyes, but he didn't stop guessing: Not far from the village is the Baijiang River, is it a burst of the embankment?
"It's annoying, it's raining heavily."
When Xin Yu covered her eyes, I don't know which villager's complaint floated into her ears.
Then came He Qingxiao's voice: "Are your eyes uncomfortable?" β
Xin Yu lowered her hand, her pupils shrank.
In the picture, Lord He grabbed Zhao Zhixian, and his arm was cut by a branch. Zhao Zhixian looked anxious and wanted to go in one direction.
In that direction -
Xin Yu's complexion changed drastically and he reacted.
The flood that swept through the village came not long after they left!
In a hurry, Xin Yu grabbed He Qingxiao's wrist.
