Xiting hurriedly proposed: "Zhao Zhutou, I often came down when the river workers of the Hexi Division were building the embankment in this village, and I have an understanding of the topography of this place, yes, there is a small road connecting the front village and the back village. But there are quite a few houses near this path, and if we can go to the houses and get some hoes, we should be able to pick up the dirt that gets in the way quickly. ”

"If this is the case, I am familiar with the houses there, I will go in with Master Cao to have a look, maybe I can evacuate all the villagers in the back village before you leave."

Zhao Mingfeng stared at Xiting, frowned and pondered for a moment, and instructed Cao Jiang: "You are like this, call Tietou and Heizi, and go to the path into the back village with Qian Niangzi to see, can you get rid of the dirt that is blocking the road?" If you can, evacuate the villagers as soon as possible, if not, ......"

He paused, waved his hand, and sighed slightly: "If you can't, then forget it, you can only resign yourself to fate." ”

Cao Jiang got the order, hurriedly turned around, and muttered a few words to the two tall officers and soldiers with dark statures who were maintaining order in front of him, and saw the three of them hurriedly running in the direction of entering the village.

Xiting also followed closely behind them, walking backwards with the crowd towards the village behind.

From time to time, villagers passed by, and the sound of crackling treading water was endless, but Xiting continued to walk towards the path leading to the back village as if he hadn't heard it.

But she overestimated her physical strength.

The road was slippery, and she wore embroidered cloth shoes that were very slippery, and after only a short run, she lost her strength.

With a 'poof' sound, she didn't pay attention, and the whole person fell to the ground, and there were bursts of tingling pain in her palms and knees, and she snorted in pain.

But now that the situation was urgent, she couldn't care too much, patted the muddy water on her hands, and was about to get up.

"Smack~"

Another slippery.

Instead of succeeding in getting up, Xiting fell even harder, not only was his whole body drenched, but even his hair was covered with mud and hung down on his face like dried pickles.

Cao Jiang and the others walked in front, Xu saw that she still hadn't followed, subconsciously looked back, saw her fall to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

Xiting hurriedly stopped, "Lord Cao, you don't care about me for now, quickly enter the village and withdraw the villagers, I can get up by myself." ”

Seeing her answer like this, Cao Jiang thought that there were dozens of people trapped in the back village, paused, and while running towards the back village, he waved his hand at Tietou and Heizi, "Let's go, let's go over first." ”

Xiting struggled to stand up, and just as she was about to lift her feet, two horses appeared in the distance of the official road, galloping in their direction.

The villagers hurriedly scattered in all directions and took the initiative to run to the curb.

Xiting was also so shocked that he froze for a while, and he didn't have time to react, and stood in place stunned like a log.

As she saw two horses galloping towards her, and were about to collide with her, a flash of fright streaked across the sky, briefly restoring light to the dim night.

The man on the horse seemed to see a figure in the middle of the official road, and hurriedly tightened the reins, forcing the horse to raise its front hooves.

The neighing of horses sounded loud in the night.

The man on the horse stared condescendingly at the Qianxi Pavilion standing in the middle of the official road, and shouted coldly, "Ye Xing." ”

The black-clothed entourage behind him followed his line of sight, and suddenly understood, stepped forward, lowered his head and asked, "Little lady, what happened?" ”

Xi Ting's gaze crossed Ye Xing and saw the man behind him, but he was stunned, and a trace of coolness passed through his back for no reason.

The man was in his early twenties, his body outlined by the torrential rain was lean and muscular, his eagle eyes were shining with a chilling light under the reflection of lightning, and his body exuded a compelling cold aura.

"Little lady?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Ye Xing couldn't help but twist his eyebrows.

Xiting came back to his senses at this time, his eyes turned, and he landed on the two horses, and a stirring spirit in his mind hurriedly asked: "Childe, due to the heavy rainfall, the river water has risen rapidly, and now the river workers and officers and soldiers are evacuating the nearby villagers, can you borrow your horses?" ”

She raised her head and stared at the man behind Ye Xing quietly, waiting for a reply.

She knew that he was Ye Xing's master.

The man lowered his eyes, swept over the curves outlined by the clothes she was clinging to her body, and subconsciously frowned when he saw the wet hair hanging from her face, and looked away.

"Ye Xing, let's go."

Qian Xiting heard a cold sound pierce his eardrums, and then saw a horse galloping past him.

She didn't expect the man to ride away so desperately, and looked at the back that slowly disappeared into the rain.

"I'm sorry, little lady." Ye Xing apologized awkwardly, and then rode after him.

Only then did Xiting come to his senses, looked at the back in the distance and said disdainfully: "There is a good pair of skins." ”

With that, she patted the muddy water on her body and hurriedly ran to the back village.

A moment later, when she had just reached the top of the trail leading to the back village, she heard Cao Jiang standing in front of a mound, looking at the farmland in front of her and sighing: "I don't think this road can be crossed, let's go." ”

She looked up and looked around, and saw that the trail was sandwiched between two large mountains, and some of the dirt on the mountains had been washed down, just forming a mound about one and a half people high to block the way, and it was impossible to move forward.

The farmland below the road has been flooded, and the water level is about the calf of an adult, and the houses that were supposed to go to get hoes are at the end of the farmland, and from a distance, it seems that the flood water has also flooded the thresholds of many houses.

Xiting looked at the gurgling flood, getting deeper and deeper, and his heart throbbed, at this moment, if he insisted on going through the farmland with the flood water to the distant house to get the hoe, not to mention whether he could retrieve the hoe before the flood flooded in.

I just said that I don't know what potholes are under the flooded farmland, but I am afraid that I will slip and fall in the middle of the road, and I will not even be able to return to the village road.

Cao Jiang glanced left and right, and saw that Xiting and the other two officers and soldiers were also stunned in place with a helpless appearance, he paused and ordered: "Let's go, hurry up and catch up with their team before the flood floods into the official road, and retreat to the city together." ”

With that, he turned around and went back the way he came.

Suddenly, the sound of horses riding from the front came from ahead, and several people looked at each other in surprise.

As the sound of horses' hooves drew nearer, a man rode towards them in the rain.

Just as a flash of shock crossed the sky, the man on horseback was clearly illuminated.

Xiting was stunned for a moment.

It's him!

The man I just met on the official road!

How did he get back?

Zhao Shuo tightened the reins and sat on horseback like a king, his sharp eyes scanned the surrounding environment, and his eyes paused for a few moments when he saw Xiting and Cao Jiang.

Then he stretched out his hand towards Xiting and said coldly: "Come up!" ”

Xi Ting didn't understand what he meant for a while, and frowned slightly.
