Chapter 39: Overboard
It was raining heavily outside the spice shop, and inside Liu Cheng and Song Huaichong were discussing countermeasures, almost all night.
Fortunately, the heavy rain did not fall for a long time, otherwise the streets and alleys would be water towns and rivers, and I don't know how many people were affected.
God, it's like crazy.
Some time ago, there was a drought.
When the crops are almost all dead, and then it rains, look at this posture, the rainy season is coming soon, and many people are in fear.
Coming from the 21st century, Zheng Guangzong has a better understanding of meteorology.
The next rainy season is likely to bring disaster to the common people, and of course, it will also bring property losses to the Zheng family.
Therefore, in the next few days, Zheng Guangzong took the Zheng family and the rest of the family to do a good job of defense, and try to take precautions as much as possible to minimize the loss.
Since Xiangling got along with Zheng Guangzong once, her whole heart is full of Zheng Guangzong.
No matter what Zheng Guangzong did, as long as it was not far from home, Xiangling would follow him, carrying a basket in his hand, which contained a teapot and dry food.
Thirsty, hungry, and tired, Xiangling will appear by Zheng Guangzong's side, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, taking care of everything.
Sometimes, Zheng Guangzong's clothes were soaked with sweat, and Xiangling would force Zheng Guangzong to change out of wet clothes, and then take the clothes to the nearest river to rinse Zheng Guangzong.
Zheng Guangzong was enjoying the shade under a tree, drinking the tea that Xiangling made for him, which could be regarded as a busy leisure.
Zheng Er and some craftsmen are hurrying to build a house, and Zheng Guangzong wants to build the house before the rainy season comes.
After drinking a pot of tea, before Xiangling came back, Zheng Guangzong muttered, this is outside the city, in case Xiangling is lost, it is not a good thing.
Zheng Guangzong called Zheng Er: "Zheng Er, I have something to do over there, you take the craftsman to grasp it tightly, and it is best to build the house within three days." ”
"Young master, aren't you worried about my errands, you can go!" Zheng Er's status in the Zheng family has also risen rapidly these days, or it won't be long before he can be as famous as Uncle Zhao.
"Don't talk big, do what you have in hand first." Zheng Guangzong glanced at it, turned around and walked in the direction where Xiangling went.
The weather is hot and the sun is not very bright.
This is called a steamer day, and of course it may be a harbinger before the rain.
Zheng Guangzong walked nearly two miles before he heard the sound of rushing water.
It is estimated that Xiangling took Zheng Guangzong's clothes and went to the river to rinse.
Zheng Guangzong saw the green river, and his childlike heart rose, the weather was so hot, why not swim in the river to get rid of the heat.
As soon as he walked out of half a mile, Zheng Guangzong saw two men crawling in the grass not far ahead, sneaky and thieves.
Zheng Guangzong thought of Xiangling who was rinsing clothes by the river, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward, also leaned down, and hid behind the grass.
A gust of wind blew in his face, and the words of the two men all reached Zheng Guangzong's ears.
"Are you sure, this is Zheng Guangzong's maid Xiangling?"
"It's not just a maid, it may be a concubine in the future."
"Then what are your plans, why don't you do it here?"
"You are looking for death, I didn't see so many Zheng family's family members and craftsmen over there, if the little girl shouted, wouldn't we become turtles in the urn."
"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, so what are you going to do?"
"Tonight, in the middle of the night, go to Zhao's house, prepare some more incense, and after fascinating Xiangling, I will take it away in a sack and send it to the cottage.
When the time comes, you and my brother will show their big faces. ”
The two men over there were chattering and discussing, and every word was heard by Zheng Guangzong.
Zheng Guangzong almost broke out in a cold sweat, these two guys turned out to be thieves from the cottage outside the city, and they went down the mountain during the day today just to explore the way.
Fortunately, I heard the two thieves discussing, if I didn't hear it, maybe Xiangling would be kidnapped tonight and taken to the cottage.
The two men stood up and looked around, not far away Xiangling was squatting by the river to wash clothes, unaware of what was happening behind her.
Zheng Guangzong waited for the two men to leave, then stood up and walked towards the river.
"Ahem......"
Behind Xiangling, Zheng Guangzong coughed lightly.
Xiangling couldn't be more familiar with Zheng Guangzong's voice, and didn't even look back: "Young master, why are you here, don't watch the craftsmen work over there." ”
"I miss you!" Zheng Guangzong joked.
"I hate it, I'm with you every day, what do you have to think about." Xiangling stood up, turned around, and stroked her hair with her hand.
Zheng Guangzong looked at it and couldn't help but be moved.
Although Xiangling does not have a noble status, she is beautiful and has an empathetic heart.
"Xiangling, do you know that when there is poverty at the ends of the world, there is only endless lovesickness." Zheng Guangzong chanted an ancient poem from his predecessors, and suddenly remembered Murong Ling again.
"Young Master, I know you're not thinking about me, it's Sister Murong, if you miss her, you can write to her!" Xiangling is always so elf and eccentric.
"I want to write, but I don't know where to send it?" Zheng Guangzong sighed, since Murong Ling left, it was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
"Young master, when Mr. Cheng comes back, you can ask Mr. Cheng." Xiangling picked up her clothes and was about to walk to the shore.
Who knew that there was moss on the stone under his feet, which was too smooth, and Xiangling stumbled and fell backwards.
"Be careful......
Zheng Guangzong shouted and ran over.
It's a pity that it's still a step too late.
Xiangling's arms fluttered wildly and fell into her hands.
It is estimated that it was because of a heavy rain last night, which made the river much more turbulent.
Once Xiangling poured it into the water, she was at a loss, her whole body was immersed in the water, and she drank the water in a big gulp.
Zheng Guangzong couldn't take off his clothes anymore and threw himself into the river.
Emma, the river is so fast.
Zheng Guangzong also drank a few sips of water before he barely managed to keep his balance in the water.
At this moment, Xiangling's body was up and down, washed by the river, and went downstream.
Zheng Guangzong was a fierce man, got underwater, and swam in the direction of Xiangling.
Finally saw Xiangling, Zheng Guangzong, a fierce man, got out of the water, grabbed Xiangling's hair with one hand, and swam to the shore.
Zheng Guangzong swam extremely hard, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he couldn't swim, and he went into the water to save people today, completely gambling with his life.
Zheng Guangzong spent a lot of effort and finally dragged Xiangling to the shore.
At the moment he was also out of breath and exhausted.
But Xiangling had her eyes closed, her face was like earth, and she had no vital signs.
"Xiangling, don't scare me, speak quickly!" Zheng Guangzong thought of Xiangling's kindness to himself on weekdays, and his voice couldn't help choking.
Xiangling didn't answer, only the river was still rattling.
