Chapter 448
As the saying goes, knowing the sky is easy and going against the sky is difficult, and it is impossible to fight against natural disasters with only one person's strength.

If the drainage system of Chang'an City could be compared with that of modern cities, it might not cause the current situation.

However, this is impossible, and I have tried my best.

After coming down from the mountain, Li Fu saw an official on the road trying his best to save a commoner who was washed away by the water.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Fu hurried up to help the official.

This is the kind of person who is not afraid of life and death to help the people, and he must not be allowed to die like this.

The old man who was washed away by the water knocked down an earthen wall. The earthen wall was already loose, and it immediately collapsed upon such a collision.

The official rushed forward desperately, digging the soil with both hands, trying to dig the old man out.

Li Fu was helping behind, seeing this official, he seemed familiar.

Afterwards, Li Fu remembered that this person was Su Cheng whom he had seen before.

"You two young people, go away, it's not worth risking your life for an old man like me!"

The old man buried in the loess saw Li Fu and Su Cheng risking their lives to save him, so he hurriedly shouted at them.

Li Fu looked up, and found that the old man's complexion was dry and yellow, and it looked like he had been hungry for many days.

Su Cheng was also half dead from exhaustion at this time. After hearing the old man's words, he squeezed out a smile and said to him: "Don't worry about the old man, we will definitely rescue you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wall next to him collapsed again.

Su Cheng suddenly raised his head. Given his current position, he would definitely be buried by the collapsed earth wall.

It's just that I can't let go of the old man's hand now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the fate of being buried in the future.

Su Cheng smiled calmly. If he died here like this, it would probably be his fate.

However, I will never regret it. If I were to choose again, I would still choose to hold the old man's hand.

However, Su Cheng waited for a long time, but he didn't see the earthen wall fall down. He raised his head in astonishment and looked up.

I saw a young man carrying the beams on the wall with his own strength, forcibly blocking the fallen earth wall.

"Hurry up!" Li Fu squeezed out the strength to feed, and shouted at Su Cheng.

The earth wall weighed down like a mountain, pressing on him, Li Fu didn't know how long he could hold on.

Su Cheng also came to his senses. He didn't even have time to say thank you, so he hurriedly flew his hands and dug hard.

"Take the shovel!" Li Fu was a little speechless. He obviously had a shovel in his hand, but he ignored it and kept digging with his own hands.

It's a pity that I let Blast and Jinglei go elsewhere now, otherwise with the two of them around, it would be easy to rescue them.

Soon, Su Cheng dug out the old man with a shovel and took him to a safe place.

Li Fu's shoulders are also in hot pain now, and he is almost unable to hold on anymore.

After the two were safe, Li Fu withdrew back, causing the earthen wall to collapse.

Li Fu ran wildly and was almost smashed by the earthen wall. After he was safe, Li Fu looked back and saw that the earthen house was in ruins.

Su Cheng handed over the old man to the passing soldiers and ordered them to send the old man to the hospital to take good care of him.

Afterwards, he came in front of Li Fu and knelt down directly.

Li Fu, who had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly helped him up and said, "No need to thank me, I should thank you on behalf of the common people."

"I don't know your surname?" Su Cheng stood up straight and asked Li Fu.

"My name is Li Fu." Li Fu replied truthfully.

Hearing this name, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then excitedly held Li Fu's hand, and said:
"Li Fu, are you that Li Fu, Li Fu, the Poet Immortal of Tang Dynasty?"

Su Cheng was extremely excited, and looked at Li Fu crazily, as if he had seen something he had dreamed of.

"It's just other people's absurd praise. I don't deserve the title of poet fairy." Li Fu waved his hand and said.

To be honest, I don't know where the title of Shixian came from, which made Li Fu feel a little embarrassed to hear it.

But Su Cheng said with a trembling voice: "You are a poet, and you deserve this. Your poems have already spread all over the world!"

This sentence, what Su Cheng said was not at all watery. Li Fu basically knew all the poems he wrote at the poetry competition.

Li Fu smiled lightly, he actually didn't really care about this matter.

Su Cheng looked at Li Fu in surprise. Originally, he thought that Li Fu should be the kind of bookish person, but seeing him now, it doesn't seem like that.

It seems that Li Fu is not very proud of his poems, as if they are just some ordinary things.

Su Cheng admired Li Fu even more. It was really not easy to reach this level. I don't know if I can catch up with him in this life.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Fu knew that now was not the time to chat, so he said to Su Cheng, "Okay, you can go to work first."

Su Cheng nodded and left.

Seeing Su Cheng walk away, Li Fu also smiled, he had a very good impression of this young man.

When he returned home, Li Fu saw Fang Xuanling waiting for him at home.

"Master Fang, what did you come to see me for?" Li Fu was a little surprised and asked.

"What else can it be? Of course it's about food." Fang Xuanling said helplessly.

Now, the food problem can be said to be a major issue plaguing the entire Chang'an City. If anyone can solve this problem, it can be said to be the savior of the people in Chang'an City.

Now, the price of grain inside Chang'an City has reached an unimaginably sky-high price. Rice costs 20 taels of silver a catty.

In the past, 20 taels of silver could feed an ordinary family's food for a year.

But now, you can only buy one catty of rice, and a family of three can eat two meals.

Li Fu smiled. He knew that if this situation occurred now, Lao Lu and the others must have taken action.

"Fuck, these people are going crazy. Now that the price has reached this price, what do these people want to do?!" Fang Xuanling cursed angrily.

Li Fu shrugged and said, "Then, Mr. Fang, what can you do now, or what do you want to do now?"

Fang Xuanling said: "I am going to release food now, and donate all the food in my family. I can't watch the people in Chang'an City starve to death!"

There is a lot of food in his home, which should allow the common people to last for a while.
