Su Mulan has no mother, and she has no idea of living. Although Xu Huaigu brought her to Chen's mansion, and Chen Congming and Shen Hanguang also warmly welcomed her, she was silent all day long, saying nothing or doing anything for the past two days. His eyes are empty and lonely, and he often looks into the distance, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, as if he has lost his soul.

Xu Huaigu was saddened by what happened to her, more painful than seeing an ordinary tragedy. may have thought of the past, when Yu Qin lost her father in Astragalus Mountain, her situation was very similar to this girl. Yu Qin's father was killed by the officers and soldiers led by Dayu Guo Qiwen, and Xu Huaigu remembered his name very clearly. When he returns to Dongfuyaozhou, this revenge will definitely be avenged. Even if he ruined his friendship with Dayu Guo and Lin Cangyang, there would be no room for maneuver.

Xu Huaigu has an account in his heart, and he remembers clearly in the account book, which people are kind to him and which people have enmity against him.

A swordsman in the rivers and lakes, happy and hateful, Xu Huaigu is such a person.

Putting these aside for the time being, the current situation in Hemen City is even more worrying.

It was another two days since the heavy rain started falling again. In the past two days, the situation in Hemen has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Heavy rains have washed away many houses in the city, and many new homeless people have been left behind. Moreover, the heavy rain also made the already scarce medicinal herbs even more scarce, and even if there were prescriptions, only a very small number of people could get enough medicinal materials to treat them, so the situation of the epidemic did not improve, on the contrary, there were signs of continued deterioration.

Of all the bad news, the worst one is Xiejiangyan. This weir mouth that has stood on the bank of the Luhua River for a hundred years seems to be finally about to usher in its limit.

The water level of the Luhua River has risen vigorously, and the weir mouth has been seriously damaged in many places. The craftsmen of the whole city were sent to repair Xiejiangyan, but it was only a drop in the bucket. As long as this heavy rain does not stop, no matter how it is repaired, it will not cure the symptoms, and it can only delay the arrival of that day.

In Chen's mansion, Chen Congming was so anxious that he didn't close his eyes for a day and a night. Of course, this is not only because of the Xiejiangyan incident, but more importantly, Shen Hanguang's illness.

Although Chen Fu did not lack medicinal materials, according to the prescription for Shen Hanguang to decoct medicine every day, her condition still did not improve, and even worsened. Lang Zhong came to see it and said that Mrs. Shen's body was weak, and she had been struggling for several days before she started taking medicine, and the disease had penetrated deep into her bone marrow, so even if she took medicine on time now, she might not be able to get better.

Hearing the news, Chen Congming only felt as if his mind had been struck by lightning, and it was rumbling blank. He has been busy with the affairs of the government, busy with the resettlement of various disaster victims, busy with researching prescriptions, busy coming and going, others have been saved a lot, but his wife has fallen to the point where her life is at stake.

blames himself for only caring about things outside and neglecting to care about his family, at this moment, Chen Congming regrets it. If Shen Hanguang had three longs and two shorts, he would only be able to spend his years in loneliness and guilt.

Master Bai He had also returned from the official mansion at this time and lived in the Chen Mansion. He also looked at Shen Hanguang's illness, but he had no choice but to come to the same conclusion as Na Langzhong.

On the hospital bed, Shen Hanguang's face was pale and lifeless, his eyebrows were furrowed, his lips were closed, and he showed a painful expression. Every once in a while, she would cough a few times, and even the cough was weak, as if her bone marrow had been drained.

Chen Congming sat anxiously on the side, the door was pushed open, and a servant walked in lightly with the medicine.

He hurriedly took the medicine from the servant's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed. He scooped a spoonful of medicine, put it to his mouth and blew it, handed it to Shen Hanguang's lips, and whispered in distress: "Madam, wake up, take the medicine." ”

Shen Hanguang looked pained, opened her eyes with extreme difficulty, opened her lips slightly, and let the liquid flow from her mouth.

"Ahem, ahem......" Shen Hanguang frowned and coughed a few times, "What's the matter, why are you here again?" Didn't I tell you not to come to me, what if you get infected too? ”

"It's all at this time, and you're still talking about this." Chen Congming was distressed, "How many years have we been together, what didn't we come over together?" I don't care if I get sick or not, anyway, I have to be with you anyway. If anything happens to you, what's the point of my life? ”

The corners of Shen Hanguang's mouth rose slightly, and he barely showed a smile, and said, "Don't say stupid things, I feel much better now, I'm definitely fine." ”

"Really? Feeling better? ”

"Hmm."

"That looks like the medicine is working! Madam, hurry up and drink the medicine, you will definitely get better. ”

Chen Congming fed her the medicine spoonful by spoonful, and Shen Hanguang drank it cooperatively. The husband and wife looked at each other, warm and affectionate.

There was a knock at the door.

Chen Congming said, "Please come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Xu Huaigu slowly walked in. Since Shen Hanguang was sick, Xu Huaigu would come to see her every day.

Xu Huaigu walked to Shen Hanguang's bedside and glanced at her worriedly. Xu Huaigu is no better than Chen Congming, and his eyesight is naturally better. In Xu Huaigu's eyes, Shen Hanguang's face was worse than yesterday, his breath was faint, and he was getting closer and closer to the Ghost Gate.

Chen Congming asked eagerly: "Master Xu, look at Madame's complexion, is it better than yesterday?" ”

Xu Huaigu lied and said, "Indeed, it's better than yesterday." ”

Chen Congming raised his eyebrows and said, "I said yes, looking at people is more energetic than yesterday." It seems that this prescription is still effective, and Na Langzhong knew nonsense before. ”

Xu Huaigu said: "By the way, in addition to Chen Yuan, there are people from the government who have come to the mansion, as if they want to discuss something, and the matter is not small." ”

Chen Congming's face changed, and he resolutely refused: "Tell them that I'm not available, let them go back." I didn't care about the affairs of the government, my wife was sick, and I had to accompany her. ”

Xu Huaigu leaned into his ear and persuaded softly: "The water level over there in Xiejiangyan has risen by two feet today, and it can't be suppressed, and it may collapse at any time, and the government is preparing for the whole city to retreat." Chen Yuanwai has such a big family business, and he must have an explanation. ”

A city-wide retreat? Hearing this, Chen Congming couldn't sit still. This is a major event that has never been done before, and even in the era of war, there is no precedent for the government to lead the people of the whole city to withdraw. The government of Hemen City actually made such a show, and the matter is really serious to this point?

Shen Hanguang's consciousness was not very sober anymore, and in a daze, she seemed to hear Xu Huaigu and Chen Congming talking about something. She subconsciously hurriedly said: "Wen Ruo, is someone looking for someone to do something?" You go get busy first, I don't care. ”

If the text is Chen Congming's character, husband and wife are commensurate on weekdays, and Shen Hanguang calls him that.

Chen Congming said softly: "It's okay, what can happen." The prescription is available, and now that the things in the city are basically suppressed, what can it matter? I'll stay with you a little longer. ”

"If you stay with me for a while, how long can you stay with me?" As soon as Shen Hanguang said this, his tears were a little uncontrollable, "You go, go ahead." I'll talk to Xu Huaigu for a while, you know I like this kid, I'd love to talk to him. ”

Chen Congming compromised: "Okay, then you talk first, and I'll be back soon." ”

He glanced at Xu Huaigu and Shen Hanguang helplessly, took the medicine bowl he had drunk, and got up to leave.

Xu Huaigu sat on the edge of Shen Hanguang's bed, looked at her, and said, "Madam." ”

"I'm dying." Shen Hanguang's breathing was very weak, "I feel like a big stone is pressing on my chest, and I can't breathe." ”

"Yes, ma'am. When the plague outside reaches the end of its life, it is the same symptom. ”

"Heh......" Shen Hanguang smiled self-deprecatingly, opened his eyes and looked at Xu Huaigu, "You don't lie to me." ”

"In this house, everyone lied to me that I looked better, and I didn't know my own body? It's not as good as the day. Especially today, not only can I not breathe, but my mind is also dizzy, and my ears are not very good. Ahem, ahem...... I still think about the past, I think of my son. ”

Shen Hanguang tried hard to open his eyes, wanted to see Xu Huaigu clearly, and said slowly: "I see that you are becoming more and more like my child, as if he was sitting on the edge of my bed." My limit is approaching, but once I come to the world, I enjoy the wealth and glory, and if Wen Ruo is also very good to me, it stands to reason that I should be satisfied. The only thing I regret in my life is that I didn't leave a child. Xu Songtu, you stay with me for a while, stay with me for a while......"

Her voice grew softer and softer, and by the end she was already muttering. Xu Huaigu leaned into her ear and said, "Madam, I'm here." ”

Xu Huaigu put his hand into the futon and held Shen Hanguang's hand, a penetrating coldness seeped into his palm, and Shen Hanguang's hand almost subconsciously grabbed him.

Shen Hanguang's time was running out, but Xu Huaigu didn't want her to die. I don't know if it's out of sympathy or what, Xu Huaigu especially doesn't want her to die.

The aura came out of Xu Huaigu's heart lake one by one, and flowed into Shen Hanguang's body along his palm. Fresh aura can heal scars, and it can also cure diseases, but the price paid is also enormous. If you want to save Shen Hanguang, how much aura is needed, Xu Huaigu didn't count in his heart.

He'd never saved someone this way before, and he didn't know what the odds were of success, but he felt like he should.

Although he and Shen Hanguang had never known each other in their lives, and the only intersection between them was to get along with each other for a few days in Chen's mansion, Xu Huaigu still did it without hesitation.

Master Baihe said that Chen Congming and Shen Hanguang are good deeds and accumulate virtues, and God will bless them. Whether God blessed the two of them or not, Xu Huaigu didn't know, but Xu Huaigu himself definitely couldn't watch Shen Hanguang die.

The sky is illusory, and sometimes it is just an excuse for people to place their hopes and shirk their responsibilities, but Xu Huaigu can really control his own behavior and really save people.

After about a stick of incense, Xu Huaigu felt that the pain in Shen Hanguang's body seemed to be much better. Her brow gradually relaxed, a fine bead of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her cheeks showed a little hazy ruddy, looking much more comfortable.

Her breathing was even, long, gentle, and full of life power.

Xu Huaigu withdrew his hand from her palm, helped her cover the quilt, and then slowly got up and walked out of the door.

His realm fell from the middle of the Seven Realms to the early stage of the Seven Realms, and it was very vain in the early stage of the Seven Realms, just like the feeling when he had just been promoted to the Seven Realms.

Years of hard work were burned, but Xu Huaigu did not regret it at all. Anyway, there is no point in living in the world, and it is one person who can save one, and it is still the person he wants to save.

Xu Huaigu looked at the dark clouds and the pouring rain in the sky, and stepped into the rain.

He headed north, in the direction of the collapsing Xiejiangyan.

Xu Huaigu thought silently in his heart, if he can save a city, then he is dead, what is it?
