When Gu Siyuan arrived in Xu County, he found that things were not at their worst - in the villages around the river, it was time for every household to have dinner, and most people were awake and realized something was wrong, so they hurriedly ran up the mountain.

Fortunately, the natural disaster happened not in the dead of night when everyone was asleep. If the floods had hit at that time, half of the village would not have been spared!

The rafts that Gu Siyuan ordered to collect came in handy. He led the people on the rafts and drove all the way, and also saved many people.

Many people were reluctant to part with their belongings and ran back to save some. However, the flood was relentless and they had no choice but to climb onto the roof.

"You are truly a great person. We don't know what to say to express our gratitude."

The simple people's words are not as sharp as the congratulations of the palace people, and every word is sincere.

Gu Siyuan entered Xu County from the west. As he walked east, the closer to the villages near the river, the more severe the losses. The originally peaceful and peaceful villages were washed to pieces by the floods, and the poorer families used adobe bricks. They built a house, but now the whole house has turned into mud.

The gray-haired woman insisted on living and dying with the house. With tears in her eyes, she said, "My lord, you were kind enough to save me, but my son and daughter-in-law were washed away by the flood, leaving me with this old skeleton." , how will you live in the future?"

Feeling helpless and sad, the woman touched the bark-like eyes around her eyes with her rough fingers and refused to leave.

Such as this, sudden natural disasters have left only one person alone, happy families have suffered great changes, and there are many people who cannot bear the blow.

Along the way, Gu Siyuan saw a lot of people suffering and being displaced. All he saw strengthened Gu Siyuan's determination to control this flood.

In just two days, dozens of victims followed Gu Siyuan and were rescued by them.

Although there have been floods, the weather has not been good in the past few days. Gu Siyuan carefully studied the terrain of Jiangnan - the terrain of Jiangnan was originally flat, and the floods swept across like wild beasts without stopping them.

"Master, please drink a bowl of the ginger soup cooked by the servants below to warm yourself up."

Changqing brought a bowl of ginger soup. She looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, and the rain was pouring down, which made people upset.

Gu Siyuan took the bowl. The ginger soup was spicy and he drank it in one gulp, extinguishing the moisture in the bones.

"Has anyone been invited?"

"Your Highness is talking about Mr. Xu?"

Gu Siyuan also accidentally heard this person's name - Xu Shao from the victims.

The man lowered his head, terrified. He almost thought he was going to die in the flood. The raft of Gu Siyuan and his team became his last life-saving straw.

After boarding the raft, he was recognized by several people from the same village. Everyone looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

"...If I had known it earlier, I would have listened to Xu Shao's words. We still thought we were just talking nonsense. But now it seems..."

The man was speechless, his dark face full of annoyance.

"What did Xu Shao say?"

A deep male voice sounded, and the man raised his head in surprise.

"The noble man is asking you a question! This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Hearing about the disaster in Xu County, he worked tirelessly to save people!"

"Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's kindness, otherwise how could we have a good conversation here?"

Your Royal Highness!

The countryman has never even seen the county magistrate, and now the famous Crown Prince actually appears. The man rubbed his hands and said at a loss, "Prince, His Majesty the Crown Prince."

He stumbled and couldn't finish a sentence.

Gu Siyuan waved his hand lightly, indicating that there was no need to be formal. A flash of interest flashed in his eyes, "The name of the person you just mentioned is Xu Shao. Why should you listen to him?"

Xu Shao is from Xujia Village in Xu County. His father is a rotten scholar. Xu Shao has been disciplined by his father since he was a child and has always been nagging.

Wealthier families in the village send their children to private schools, while children from poorer families become head of household early and start working in the fields early to learn farming. But Xu Shao is different.

He sat in the yard of their house all day long, looking at the sky and thinking about it. Over time, he always said something that no one could understand.

As time passed, people in the village thought he was a weirdo. After Xu Shao's parents left, no one in the village cared about him.

Until two days ago, Xu Shao went out of his house and went to the open space in the village.

Country people always like to get together to chat and gossip when they have nothing to do after their busy farming days. Xu Shao never participates in these, but that day he took the initiative to come over and told the people in the village that they had to move out of the village as soon as possible. .

As soon as this statement came out, several people in the village burst into laughter.

"Xu Shao, you stay in your courtyard all day, maybe you are going crazy when you get something bad, so why don't you let us move out of the village?"

"If you want to leave, you can go alone, I won't leave."

"I've gone to see it. The river's rise is unusual. Sooner or later it will burst."

No one cared what Xu Shao said, and the laughter that day became particularly ironic now that I think about it.

As the man spoke, he couldn't help but hold his head. If he had known this, he would have listened to him.

Gu Siyuan thought about Xu Shao's name. It seemed that there were still sensible people in Jiangnan, but they were buried.
