Chapter 44: It's Raining
"I know that Wang joined the army to rescue hard, and I also want to do a little more for Wang to join the army, and I have already sent people to prepare food."
"Cook the food first, let's eat something to cushion our stomachs first, and then think about it in the long run."
"There is still a lot of reconstruction work ahead, waiting for General Wang to preside."
"Humble duty, thank you for the affected people." As he spoke, Wang was about to kneel down and salute, but was supported by Xia Qingqing.
"Now, let's talk about the fire, shall we?" Akiba interrupted the two of them.
Wang Senjun touched the beard on his chin and said word by word, "Because it is a southeast wind, we have not been able to cut off this source of fire for a long time. ”
Xia Qingqing asked, "Did you directly smash the house?" For example, if he burned down the one on the left, then we smashed all three adjacent tiled houses. ”
"If all the stones are smashed and removed, turned into an open field and watered, and the weather is getting colder, will this be effective, and to some extent, delay the spread of the fire?"
Wang Senjun said embarrassedly, "It's true that the county lord thinks like this, and he does it like this, but the fire burns too fast, it's really too late, and the people who didn't burn it." ”
"He is rushing out with all the valuable things at home, if we smash his house at this time, I'm afraid he will have to surround the government to ask for compensation."
Xia Qingqing frowned and said, "When has this been, is it still so unclear about priorities?" Destroy their houses, even if it's time to rebuild them. ”
"This matter is wrapped up in my Bai Yutang, you quickly send someone to discuss with those people."
"It's the county lord, I know."
As he spoke, Grandpa Wang rushed here, holding the reins tightly in his hand, and the horse let out a long roar.
"Grandfather,"
"Grandfather,"
"Qingqing, Hong'er, why are you two here? Aren't you drinking and eating in the White Jade Hall? ”
"There's an explosion on my grandfather's side, and my brothers and I came to see if there's anything we can do to help?"
"Qingqing, she's too worried. They also rushed over. Xia Jinghong explained.
The old prince was furious, "Nonsense, what are you doing?" Are these things that you kids can be involved in? It's just that you come out to put out the fire, how can you let your sister come out? ”
"If she has a case, can you afford it?"
"This, I," Xia Jinghong was so trained by the old prince that he didn't even dare to raise his head, Xia Qingqing stepped forward and gently hugged the old prince's arm and coquettishly.
"Grandfather, I came by myself, and I don't have anything to do with the fourth brother, I'm too worried, plus, you see, I'm here with Wang Joining."
"It's so safe, it's just to help deal with the aftermath and count the damage to the disaster."
Xia Qingqing was coquettish and painted, and finally made the old prince snort lightly and no longer angry, "You, just stay in this tent for me, don't go out, be careful that this fire burns your dress." ”
"You should cry again!"
"Grandfather, when have I ever cried my nose? That was all years ago, and you still take it out. ”
"What? With me for a day, you will always be a child. ”
"You're right, go and see, the fire can't be extinguished."
Grandpa Wang also found that this matter was not simple, and asked with a frown, "Why hasn't the explosion been extinguished yet, it should have been almost two hours since it happened, what are you guys doing with this patrol battalion?" ”
This noble man came in waves after waves, and Wang Shenjun's waist was eager to bend directly to the ground, and at this time he wiped the sweat on his head.
He stammered, "This, I really don't know why. The direction of the wind blowing today, the geographical environment and other factors are helping this fire, brothers, we really tried our best, but the heavens are against us! ”
"You still have the face to say." The old prince's face hated that iron could not become steel.
"I'll take a look," Xia Qingqing said immediately, "Grandfather, you have to pay attention to your safety, pay attention to your body, I'm here waiting for you to come back." ”
"Okay, got it. Come with me, boys. Since you've come here, don't come in vain. ”
Xia Jinghong, who was hiding on the side, showed a smile at this time, "Okay, grandfather, I'll go shout." Brother also squirted a few of them. ”
Xia Qingqing also said, "I heard Qiu Ye say that there is a square in front of me on the road just now, let's go over and see the victims first!" ”
"Wang joins the army, and he will leave first."
"The county lord walks slowly, the county lord walks slowly."
After wiping the sweat from his forehead with his left hand, he replaced it with his right hand, and it seemed that he was also trying his best to extinguish the fire.
At that moment, Qingqing took the three of them to the square, and as far as the eye could see, all the people were gray-faced, sitting on the ground in blue clothes, and their ears were full of crying.
Countless people are crying loudly, crying about their tragic fate, crying about their dead relatives, crying about their injured relatives who could not be treated in time, and some are still screaming, shouting "military doctor." ”
Four or five military doctors wore white coats and carried medicine boxes on their backs, rushing around in the crowd, Xia Qingqing sighed lightly. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, I hope it is a natural disaster! He said, "Let's go, let's go and help the medic too." ”
Xia Qingqing had just walked to the high platform on the square, and in the dark sky, a thunderclap suddenly sounded.
The sound was deafening, and the moon was hidden, filling the sky. Only a few stars could be seen twinkling.
Frightened, everyone present stopped crying, and even more timid thought that there had been another explosion, covering their heads and screaming.
The thunder sounded one after another, and the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, but a light rain began to fall in the sky for two breaths, and in an instant, the light rain turned into heavy rain, and the three of them pulled Xia Qingqing to go down the high platform to hide from the rain.
I don't know who shouted the first sentence, "The county lord, it's the county lord,"
"The county lord is here, so it's raining."
"The county lord is an immortal, and the county lord is an immortal,"
"County Lord, save us!"
"County Lord, save us!"
Xia Qing looked up at God helplessly, are you playing with me? Why did it start raining as soon as I walked up here?
But fortunately, with this rain, the old prince and the young masters just rushed to the scene to start the rescue, and found that it was raining in the sky, and with the help of Tianyu, they quickly extinguished the fire, which burned two and a half streets.
Xia Qingqing commanded Lin Jin and said, "Hurry up and buy a tent, go and boil ginger soup, all the ingredients must be bought, and then send people from the house to buy some chicken, duck and fish." ”
"What is fast, what to buy, set up a cauldron and cook it in this square. If it rains, you must drink ginger soup as soon as possible to get cold, and then go to the hospital to find some doctors who sit in the hall and ask them to go to the outpatient clinic, and all the expenses will be paid by us. ”
Xia Qingqing stood in the rain and commanded Lin Jin.
Lin Yin persuaded, "Master, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first, this rain is too big," and a strong wind blew as he spoke, blowing people staggering.
In the corner of the crowd, the third prince witnessed the whole process with his entourage, and the entourage said in surprise, "Could it be that the rumors are true?" ”
The third prince had no idea at this time, how could it be so coincidental, Xia Qingqing started to rain as soon as he stepped onto this high platform.
"It's raining so hard that it's useless for us to hide anywhere at this point. What's more, these people are also wounded, so help them to go and hide in a safe place. ”
"This space is empty, lest it be struck by lightning for a while." Xia Qingqing said anxiously.
At this time, Xiaolan and Xiaolu also arrived with the family members in the house. Everyone is disgraced, and it looks like they have just been cleaned up.
Two or three people carried several cauldrons together, a total of three cauldrons, and the others were carrying a bundle of firewood, and they were afraid that it would get wet from the rain, so they took all their clothes and covered them. As everyone moved, the rain began to pour down the sleeves of their clothes.
"The county lord. I arrived with a dozen or so people, and the old butler was behind, counting the food in the house. ”
It wasn't raining when everyone went out, so no one had an umbrella, and they were all drenched in soup.
Ji Xia Qingqing laughed and said, "God help me!" Don't be afraid. With this rain, I thought that the fire would soon be extinguished, so I put the firewood aside. ”
"Then go to the nearby people to buy, remember, even if it costs a high price, hurry up and borrow a few tents from Wang Xiang."
"Set up this big pot in the tent, put all the ingredients of ginger soup into it, and boil out a pot of porridge as soon as possible to distribute to the affected people."
Xia Qingqing ordered Xiao Lan Xiaolu one by one, plus Lin Jin began to get busy at this time. She also lifted up an old woman who was limp on the ground and her young granddaughter.
said, "Old man, I'll find you a place to shelter from the wind, and you can hide first." "The old man's face is engraved with deep years.
After this move, his spirit was also a little weak, and he said, "The county lord, it's the county lord." I can do anything with this bad old woman. It's just that my little granddaughter is still young, so I beg the county lord, please give me a way out. ”
As she spoke, the old woman knelt in the heavy rain with her granddaughter and kept kowtowing to Xia Qingqing, and Lin Yinlin on the side quickly helped the two of them up.
Xia Qingqing said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as we get through this pass first, you can take your little granddaughter to Baiyutang to find me later." ”
"I'll provide you two with a place to settle down, or, in the future, stay in my White Jade Hall."
"Thank you, thank you."
When the grandfather and grandson heard this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Xia Qingqing hurriedly grabbed the two of them, and a large number of refugees also poured up around them, and said, "County Lord, County Lord, take me in!" ”
"My child is only three years old!"
"County Lord, my husband has not seen anyone alive or dead."
"Help me!"
"County Lord,"
"County Lord"
Everyone hula and all rushed up, and Lin Jin and Lin Yin hurriedly blocked in front of the county lord and shouted at these refugees.
Xia Qingqing patted the two of them on the shoulder behind him and said, "Be calm, nothing to do, just a group of old and weak women and children." ”
"Everyone, listen to me, it's raining heavily right now, if you stay any longer, it's not good to get sick, so you might as well hide first."
