Chapter 34: The Flood

Just after dawn, a thunderclap sounded outside the window. Xiao Yunmi's eyes looked at the window, and there was a rumble, and there was another thunder, and there was lightning.

The rain became heavier and heavier, as if it were pouring down. Xiaoyunmi couldn't fall asleep because of the loud rain, and she propped herself up and leaned back on the bed.

There was still a moment before dawn, and she closed her eyes to rest.

The sky was slightly bright, the water of the rivers from all sides flowed to the Jingzhou Canal, the water level rose rapidly, many willow trees on both sides of the canal were washed down by the flood, and the water surface of the canal set off a big wave, and the thunder was added, and the river embankment was washed away by the menacing flood.

The flood poured out of the nest and rushed violently towards several villages around the canal.

The waves raised by the rolling flood were about five or six feet high, and the sound of rain could only be heard during the night, and the sleeping villagers were swallowed up by the flood before they could react.

The river overflowed into the city of Jingzhou, and Wang Laoliu, who got up at night, opened the door to go to the latrine, stepped down, and the water flooded to his calves.

Wang Lao Liu was shivering from the cold, rubbed his eyes, and came back to his senses. He looked at the rising flood and fell to the ground in fright. He looked terrified and exclaimed, "It's a flood, it's a flood!

What kind of flood did there occur in this peaceful and prosperous world, Wang Lao Liu was stunned.

The neighbors were woken up by him and opened the courtyard door with a curse.

Seeing Wang Lao Liu, who was running on the street as if he was running for his life, he didn't have time to scold, only to see the flooded street. Instantly dumbfounded, natural disaster!

"It's a flood! Pack up and run for your life!"

"Run!"

"Help..."

Everyone in the post station was woken up by the noisy voices. Vaguely hearing the content of the words, they packed up their things and ran outside.

The city of Jingzhou fell into a panic, and the dense crowd of people fled to the city gate.

A woman was running through the crowd with a sleeping child in her arms, the woman was wet with rain, but the child in her arms was well protected by her.

The crowd was chaotic, and I don't know who hit her, and she fell to the ground. The people who fled for their lives turned a blind eye to the mother and son on the ground, and ran desperately to the city gate.

The woman was like a weak ant in the crowd, no one saw her, the woman was holding the child and trying to get up from the ground, but someone hit her, and someone stepped on her.

The child in her arms was woken up, and when she saw the panicked crowd, she was so frightened that she hid in her mother's arms.

When the mother and son were desperate and helpless, a horse stopped in front of them.

It was a little boy in brocade clothes and jade clothes, and he stretched out his hand to them with an anxious face, and his face was cold. Anxiously said: "Come up!"

The situation is critical She had only one thought in her heart. The child must be well!

The rain was still scared, and the woman was stunned for a moment, then handed the child to him.

It's a mother's instinct to keep her child in mind all the time.

The little boy in his arms is about three years old, pink and cute. The little boy clung to his mother's clothes and cried loudly.

"Woooooo Mother, I want to be with my mother. ”

The flood water rose higher and higher, reaching the thighs of adults. Su Minxing was on a horse, Xiao Yunmi's back was to him, and Su Minxing saw her stop there.

Su Minxing said anxiously: "Yunmi, we have to get out quickly." ”

The woman looked at the child in her arms, her trembling hands touching his face, tears rolling down her face.

"Child, follow the son well, you have to be good, so that the mother will have the face to meet your underground father. You're going to be good!"

After saying this, the woman ignored the crying child, gritted her teeth and handed the child to the son on the horse.

Xiao Yunmi took the child over and held it in his arms, and the child held his mother's cold hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Mother, I, I don't want him, I want mother..."

The woman broke the child's hand, knelt in front of the clouds, and kowtowed vigorously. The woman pleaded with tears on her face: "The pear will be in trouble with the child." ”

Xiao Yunmi took the child and looked at the woman on the ground, feeling unbearable. She stretched out her hand again: "You come up too, child, you can't live without your mother." ”

The woman got up from the ground, held her head high, and let the cold rain hit her in the face.

Thinking of her husband who was paralyzed in bed at home, she shook her head and turned around and ran back in the same direction.

Xiao Yunmi was stunned, holding the child and shouting at the woman's back: "Come back!"

The woman's coarse linen clothes were straight at the bottom, and she still ran in the direction of home.

Su Minxing rode up to her and saw that there was an extra child in her arms at some point. He stammered for a moment: "This... When, where did this come from?"

The little boy was clutching at his clothes, crying pitifully. Xiao Yunmi pulled his cloak forward to cover him, pulling the reins with one hand.

Xiaoyunmi's green silk wet by the rain sticks to his face, like an orchid that has just been watered, and it is beautiful and dusty. She looked at the panicked crowd coldly, and said slowly: "It's okay, let's go." The words were stained with innumerable desolation.

Who said that human hearts are made of flesh?

Su Minxing looked at her reddened eyes, her lips opened, but she was silent.

Ning Yuan and Ning Zi separated the crowd from the master next to them, and Ning Yuan saw that his master was stunned in place. He said loudly: "Young master." ”

Su Minxing came back to his senses and rode a horse to follow.

As soon as they left the city gates, the crowd scattered and fled for their lives.

Xiao Yunmi waited outside the city for several hours with the child in her arms, but the child's mother did not come out.

......

Su Minhang thought of the school opposite the palace, the school was halfway up the mountainside, and the flood would definitely not be able to go up. So he took Xiaoyun to the direction of the school.

The mountain road is rugged, and it has rained again in the past few days, and a lot of moss has grown on the bluestone slabs. You can't go up on horseback, you can only get off the horse and walk.

Xiao Yunmi lifted a small slit in his cloak, and the little boy in his arms was already asleep, his face was full of tears, and there were teardrops on his eyelashes.

Su Minxing asked about the child's background, and Xiao Yunmi sighed and told him about it.

For a moment, even the air became heavy.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, not to mention that Xiaoyunmi is still holding a child.

She is not iron-clad, she must be very tired, but with the character of carrying the clouds and the sky falling by herself, she will definitely not ask others for help.

Su Minxing looked at the fine sweat on her forehead, and her heart tightened.

He opened his mouth to break the silence and took the initiative to say, "Give me a hug." ”

The child's hands were a little heavy, and his hands were sore after hugging him for a while. But Xiaoyunmi looked at the sleeping child of Zhengxiang, and was afraid of waking him up.

was about to refuse, but Su Minxing looked resolute. She had no choice but to gently put the child into Su Minxing's arms, and suddenly felt a lot easier.

Looking at Zhengxiang's child who was still sleeping in Su Minxing's arms, she reached out and rubbed her sour arm.

Su Minxing raised his head and asked her, "What are you going to do with this child?" They waited outside the city for a long time, but they didn't see the woman come out.

It's all saved, so you can't throw it away.

But this kid is really not easy to arrange, Xiao Yunmi pulled out a thatch core and put it in his mouth to chew, and looked at the road under his feet attentively.

Su Minxing knows her character, she looks invulnerable and has a cold face all day long, but she is actually kind-hearted.

He was afraid that she, a girl who had not left the cabinet, would return to Beijing with a child and be drowned in gossip.
