Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets
Chapter 212 Breaking the Levee
The water flow was very fast and the water was turbid. All kinds of broken trees and debris were swept down, making the water look like a Shura field.
Cheng Jia drank some water. In a panic, the more he tried to float up, the more he sank. The object in the water hit him even more painfully.
Unexpectedly, I, Cheng Jia, would be buried here. Cheng Jia simply relaxed his body and watched the light fade, but he seemed to see that person's face in front of him.
She was actually the person he was thinking of at this time? Cheng Jia was a little annoyed, and then he felt something warm approaching, and a breath passed through the soft and fierce force, bringing him back to life from the edge of suffocation.
After pulling Cheng Jia out of the water, Ling Qingyu shouted to Yan San, who was running on the shore: Get the rope. Then he pushed Cheng Jia up hard.
Yan San had already rolled up a noose in his hand. Seeing that Cheng Jia's body was visible, he accurately swung the noose over to catch him, lifted it hard, pulled it back, threw it on the shore, twitched his hand, and untied it. Rope and continued chasing.
Cheng Jia watched dumbly as Ling Qingyu dived into the water again, floating up and down in the river like a big fish.
Wang Xuanzhi knew a little about water, but the clothes on his body were complicated. After a few struggles, he tied his hands and feet and he sank.
His official uniform was crimson, which was quite conspicuous in the water. When Ling Qingyu saw him, there was a big tree stump rushing towards him behind him.
There was no time to think about anything. Ling Qingyu lunged forward, hugged Wang Xuanzhi and sank down. The tree stump rushed over the two of them.
Without looking at Wang Xuanzhi's wide-open eyes, Ling Qingyu took a breath as usual. Seeing that his suffocation was relieved, Ling Qingyu dragged him to the surface.
Because of the avoidance just now, the two of them were a little far away from the shore. Ling Qingyu said loudly: Don't move, I will take you up.
Wang Xuanzhi nodded, and Ling Qingyu put a hand under his arm and swam to the shore.
It was raining heavily, and various suspicious objects were constantly floating around. However, the woman had a determined face, clear eyes, and the arms around her were strong and powerful, and she quickly avoided the objects rushing from above.
At that moment, Wang Xuanzhi was a little confused. He just looked at her face quietly and followed her up and down in the water.
Getting a little closer to the shore, Ling Qingyu lifted Wang Xuanzhi higher, and Yan San dragged him up as he did.
Without the drag, Ling Qingyu rushed back to the shore in a few fierce moves, borrowing Yan San's strength to climb up the embankment.
Damn it, don't be a good person next time! Ling Qingyu, who was hurt all over by the impact, cursed and lay in Yan San's arms, saying: Yan San, I can't move.
Yan San hugged her tightly, smiled and kissed her on the lips, then picked her up and walked to where she was.
Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi had been helped up by the people chasing behind them.
Is she okay? Cheng Jia asked anxiously after seeing Yan San.
Nothing, just a little tired. Yan San replied.
Although it didn't last long, they had been washed down a long way. When they returned to the original place, they saw that the embankment was already a mess and there was also a puddle inside the embankment.
Fortunately, the water is not very deep. Ling Qingyu said happily.
Before she could finish her words, there was a loud sound of gongs coming from the downstream side.
Cheng Jia's face suddenly turned pale and he said, Somewhere the dike has burst.
There were seven days of heavy rain in the upper reaches, and five days of heavy rain in the middle reaches. The water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River rose by tens of feet. The floods submerged several cities in Bayu, Hezhou and other places, and the essence of the city was washed away. However, the levee on the south bank of the Yangtze River on Jinghu North Road was breached by water in Songzi, and the floodwaters directly discharged into Dongting Lake. There was no trace left within the reach of the flood channel. The embankment on the north bank broke at Kongjiatan, and the Jianghan Plain in northern Jingbei became a vast ocean, and countless fields of government offices and residential buildings were submerged. Jinghu South Road was damaged by the bursting of the Yangtze River. The floods overflowed from the head of the embankment and the embankments collapsed, leaving no one alive.
This is a strange disaster that has never happened since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty!
Due to the official warning in Jiangling, most of the residents went to the highlands and city towers. Although they suffered heavy losses, fortunately not many people died. Hearing the tragic situation elsewhere made me feel sad. I heard from the government officials that this official warning was Master Cheng had to use his own head as a guarantee in exchange for it, so he called Cheng Jia Cheng Qingtian.
Cheng Qingtian is now eating and drinking in Ling Qingyu's tent again.
Master Cheng! The corners of Ling Qingyu's eyes twitched again. This man's food is now rationed. He doesn't eat his own food but instead eats hers. How can this not make people angry?
Don't be so stingy. Cheng Jia said with a smile. Thanks to preparations, both the people and the government had put a lot of food in the highlands. Otherwise, Jiangling would start to panic about food like other places.
Don't blame me for not reminding you. You should be in a hurry right now. What are you doing so leisurely? Ling Qingyu grabbed a piece of meat. Fortunately, she asked Sum to prepare not only food but also dried meat. Unfortunately, in a few days, I feel uncomfortable even if I don’t eat green vegetables.
It hasn't rained in the past few days, and the weather is good. The water will recede in a while. Cheng Jia said with a smile. He and Wang Xuanzhi had made several offers to ask the court for disaster relief, but now there was no reply at all. No, he was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling. Only when he came to Ling Qingyu could he feel a little calmer.
That's it. Don't you think the weather is too hot these days? Ling Qingyu said.
Yes, after the catastrophe, I was afraid of the plague. Cheng Jia's eyes darkened, and then he smiled and said, When are you going to leave?
Ling Qingyu put down his chopsticks.
Her tent was also built on the city wall, and she had asked Sum to grab it early in the morning. From the high city wall, she could see the endless plains outside. Oh, it was still a swamp, and the rice this season was completely gone.
Hey, Cheng Jia. Ling Qingyu called.
Her eyes flickered, which made Cheng Jia feel twitching. Sure enough, Ling Qingyu continued: Help me get some fields here, and I will mobilize 200,000 shi of grain to come over for disaster relief.
Cheng Jia held up his forehead and asked, When you let Han Ye go, you already started to collect food, right?
You have to give me some benefits! Otherwise, you will lose me to death! Ling Qingyu glared at him.
The fields here are not good. King Chu's affairs haven't been finished yet. There are too many disputes. How about I get some for you in Dongting Lake? Cheng Jia said helplessly.
It's a deal! Ling Qingyu said happily, and then added: Don't wear a tail!
Ahem.
The two turned around, and Wang Xuanzhi was standing at the door, looking at them.
You have the best location here. I'll move here too. After Wang Xuanzhi finished speaking, he backed away from the door.
Ling Qingyu glanced at Cheng Jia, Cheng Jia shook his head, Ling Qingyu stood up and walked outside the tent. The place she wants Sum to occupy is a turret. Although it is not big, it has walls and a roof to protect it from wind and rain. It is higher than the city wall and relatively dry. Anyone who wants to grab this place will be beaten by Sum. He was frightened back with a knife. Later, Cheng Jia openly squeezed into a small tent inside, and no one dared to rob him.
But now another tent has squeezed in!
Cheng Jia could understand Wang Xuanzhi. Even the city tower provided by the county magistrate was very crowded in other places. Although this place was small, it was cleaned cleanly and there were not so many troubles. There were a few guards standing below. , those officials, no matter how wealthy they are, would not come over to get close to them without knowing what they were doing. The most important thing is that no one climbed into the tent in the middle of the night!
Seeing Ling Qingyu's angry look, Wang Xuanzhi said to himself, You think I want to come? If I hadn't known that you would never climb into my bed, I wouldn't have come.
Cheng Jia walked to Wang Xuanzhi's side and asked in a low voice: Is there anyone else last night?
Yes, the daughter of Cheng Da's family said that she is willing to be a maid for the young master. The young man also whispered, catching two in one night is unbearable for young men like them, and the young master has been awake for several nights.
After two days, the water began to recede, but the court's rescue still had not arrived. Most residents began to return to their houses. Although the houses were dirty and smelly, it was better than sleeping outside.
There were fewer people on the city wall.
Ling Qingyu still didn't leave, firstly because no one had gone back to clean up the inn, and secondly, she planned to leave.
The carriage was still there, but the horse had been washed away. Sum went back to the inn every day to clean the carriage, and it was almost clean. As long as he found the horse, he could leave.
Didn't the county government clean up the room for you two? Why don't you leave? Ling Qingyu said disgustedly to the two guys who were eating her lunch again.
I don't dare to go, the girls in Jiangling are too enthusiastic. Cheng Jia sighed.
Huh? Oh? Hahahahaha! Ling Qingyu pointed at the two of them and couldn't help laughing wildly. On the second day Wang Xuanzhi moved in, Yan San asked about the gossip.
Wang Xuanzhi is the number one scholar in modern science, the legitimate son of Wang Xiang, and he is a beautiful young man who looks as gentle as jade. All the rich people in the city are squatting on the city wall, so all the noble ladies in the city see this dream. Young man, of course, Young Master Cheng Jiacheng is also very popular. He is the number one scholar with a criminal record, the legitimate son of Prime Minister Cheng, and the elegant Young Master Pian Pianjia of Yushu. The city wall is only so big, and after the great disaster, after the shock and surprise, people don’t pay much attention to those rules. And it would be a good thing if my daughter could really get in touch with these two. So, all kinds of encounters, sexual encounters, physical encounters, and finally bed encounters unfolded.
Wang Xuanzhi's face darkened, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and left.
Are you leaving? Cheng Jia asked after waiting for her to finish laughing.
Yes, it stands to reason that Han Zong's food should have arrived, but now the food has not arrived, the ship has not arrived, and there is no news at all, I am a little worried. Ling Qingyu nodded. Although all traffic was cut off, there shouldn't be any news.
Cheng Jia held back what he said, remembering what Wang Xuanzhi said, it would be really bad if word spread about this matter. The plague has begun to spread in the Dongting Lake area. The court has blocked all the roads there, and the Ling family's boat will also be affected. Well, neither the grain team nor the grain team can get through. But it's a good thing that she's leaving, at least she can leave this dangerous place.
Master, the carriage is ready. Sum said standing at the door.
Okay, let's see if we can find a horse. Ling Qingyu looked at Cheng Jia. The only ones who still have horses are them, the court officials.
I know, people who eat people have short hands. Cheng Jia sighed and stood up.
Thank you, Mr. Cheng! Ling Qingyu said with a smile on his face.
Cheng Jia shook his head and walked out.
