Hu Da hurriedly saluted Qin Xiaoyong again. He probably knew who Qin Xiaoyong was, and he was very respectful when he saluted.

Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went to look for magistrate Sun in the water.Now that the flood has not receded, everywhere is submerged. County Magistrate Sun and others are also standing on the table wet, discussing something with others. When they see Lin Qiao and the others, they naturally pay respects again.

After exchanging simple greetings, Lin Qiao directly stated the purpose of coming to Anyang this time, and described the disaster situation in Qingyang.

Lin Qiao is now a super prince and concubine, so magistrate Sun naturally dare not neglect, not to mention Qingyang's successful water control example, he immediately asked for a map, pointed to a place and said, "This place is feasible, and it is also surrounded by mountains. The terrain in the middle is low, and the mountain in the east faces the river. It's just that this area is larger and the population is larger, with about two hundred households, so it may not be easy to move."

"Master Sun, the resettlement is up to you. I'm only responsible for blowing up the gap." Lin Qiao added, "However, if the relocation is difficult, the imperial court can make more compensation. The people must be moved out as soon as possible."

After discussing their respective division of labor, several people ate a little indiscriminately, and then rested on the table specially prepared for them by Hu Da.

After a long day of traveling, they were really exhausted, and no matter how difficult the conditions were, several people squeezed back to back and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, everyone acted according to their respective divisions of labor. County Magistrate Sun sent Hu Da and others to borrow [-] troops from the Nanqing Army and rush to Huangmaotan where the flood was to be released.Lin Qiao, Qin Xiaoyong and others were led by the yamen servants to survey the terrain.

Under the deterrence of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons and the temptation of compensation, the two hundred or so households in Huangmaotan also moved out before dark.Lin Qiao also successfully detonated the zhayao bag, blasting open the gap.

By the morning of the second day, the flood in the county town had completely receded.

Because the area of ​​Huangmaotan is much larger than that of Niujiapeng, when the water levels on both sides of the gap are almost equal, not only the county town will recede, but the Anqing River and many small rivers will also recede to the same depth as in previous years.

Although it is still raining, the amount of rainfall is less than a quarter of what it used to be. According to the current situation, we can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that they have returned to Anyang and are at the door of their house, the exhausted Lin Qiao simply took Qin Xiaoyong and the others back to Qushui Village.

In this flood, Qushui Village near the river was also flooded.However, since Lin Qiao's house was built on the mountainside, nothing happened.

At sunset, Lin Qiao and the others returned to his home in Qushui Village on horseback and through mud.

It was Liu Cai who opened the door. Seeing Lin Qiao, everyone in the family burst into tears.Although there was nothing wrong with the house during the flood, the affected villagers all ran to the mountains and squeezed into Lin's house. Not only did they eat up all the food in the house, they dirty the house and damaged a lot of furniture.

Especially after the flood receded and the villagers returned to the foot of the mountain, Liu Cai checked and found that many valuable things were missing in the house.

Liu Cai and the others felt guilty for not helping Lin Qiao guard his home.Lin Qiao persuaded, "The house is dirty, just paint it again, make the furniture again, and buy things again. As long as you are all well and the house is not flooded, it will be fine."

Seeing that the kitten held by Second Sister-in-law Gu has grown up quite a bit, and her expression is not bad, Lin Qiao is relieved that these people should be doing well.

Aunt Liu cleaned up Lin Qiao's bedroom, and cleaned out several wing rooms.

Er Niu brought hot water and a set of kitten clothes for the child.

Lin Qiao soaked in the bathtub, stretched out his limbs and relaxed his body.After days of exhaustion and high mental tension, the disaster situation has been temporarily resolved, so I can breathe a sigh of relief.

These days, I have hardly done anything on my body. If it weren't for my supernatural powers, I am afraid that rheumatism will hurt people to death when I get old.

After washing her body, Lin Qiao washed her hair carefully. I heard that it is easy to get lice after being drenched in rain, so you have to wash it well. Lice are terrible things.

He also ordered Er Niu, who bathed the child, to "wash his hair well, and shave his head if he has lice."

Anyway, the child's hair is dry, yellow, and sparse. If it is shaved off, maybe the hair that grows back will be better.

After everyone has bathed and dressed, the second sister-in-law Gu's meal is ready.

Lin Qiao hugged the child with shaved head and dressed in girl's clothes, and sat with Qin Xiaoyong in the dining room of the main room, watching Aunt Liu and others serve the food.

Liu Cai said with a guilty face, "They ate everything that could be eaten at home. We hid these in advance. There are not many, and there are no good dishes, young master..."

There are five dishes on the table, fortunately, one steamed bacon, one steamed fish, one egg soup, and the other two don't know what they are.

Lin Qiao comforted, "It's fine, you don't have to feel guilty, just sit down and eat!"

Liu Cai hurriedly waved his hands, "We will eat with the people brought by Mr. Qin later."

Since all the food in the house was looted by the villagers, it must be that Liu Cai and the others did not eat good food. Lin Qiao said to Er Niu, "You follow me into the mountain tomorrow. I have hidden some food in the mountain. Some hunting, don't worry about not eating."

Liu Cai said again, "Master, thanks to Er Niu and Gu Ping father and son this time, if it weren't for them, the villagers wouldn't know what it would be like to ruin their home."

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Very good! If you do well, you will be rewarded. This month, each of you will be given an extra tael of silver, and Er Niu and Gu Ping will be given an extra tael of silver."

Er Niu refused to ask for so much, "My lord, one tael is enough."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Your mother-in-law is pregnant, why don't you save some money for your mother-in-law and children?"

"Two cows!" Lin Qiao laughed, "It's only been a few months? The mother-in-law and the child are here, amazing!"

The last letter from home also said that Yan Ziqing sent a girl over, but Er Niu didn't like it.Unexpectedly, a few months later, not only the mother-in-law, but also the child was born.

Seeing that Er Niu was so ashamed that his face turned red into boiled shrimp, Lin Qiao stopped laughing at him and asked, "Why don't you see your mother-in-law? If you have a child, you should eat better. Ask her to come over for dinner."

Er Niu lowered his head and faltered, hesitant to speak.

What's the matter?Lin Qiao was puzzled, could Erniu's mother-in-law have something shameful about her?

Liu Cai quickly explained, "Master, do you still remember that when you brought us back, you told the other two Anyang soldiers that if they had a hard time, they would come to you?"

Lin Qiao thought for a while, he had said such a thing before, so he nodded.

"Then Xu Zheng suffered from an old injury, paralyzed on the bed and couldn't do any work. His life was hard, so he brought his wife, children and sisters to find him. I saw that their family was honest, so I placed them in the old house where you lived before. Let Xu Zheng's mother-in-law and sister help with cleaning, sewing, etc., and provide them with three meals a day. Later... Er Niu and Xu Zheng's sister fell in love."

"Er Niu, this is a good thing! Why are you ashamed?" Lin Qiao picked up meat and fish, put them in a bowl, and said to Er Niu, "Give this to your mother-in-law, and let Xu Zheng and the others come over tomorrow. See you."

After Lin Qiao and the others finished their meal, Liu Cai came over again and said, "That Zhang Meng is here too."

Seeing that Lin Qiao was puzzled, he quickly explained, "Zhang Meng is another Anyang soldier, the one who was not injured. His house was the first to be flooded in this flood, and he dragged his family to find him. "

"Yeah! That's fine." Since he had promised him, he must do what he said, and Lin Qiao had no objections.

"Zhang Meng is a man. Gu Cang and Gu Zhang brought a few people to make trouble at home. It was he and Er Niu who beat them to the ground, and these villagers dare not continue to make trouble."

"What's going on with Gu Cang and the others?" Lin Qiao remembered that this man was the uncle of Gu Ersao, a rascal.That Gu Zhang is even more of a shrew.

"Hey! They insisted that we hid food and didn't give it to them to eat, so they wanted to exchange the things in your house, young master, for food..."

Aunt Liu also said angrily, "The missing things in the young master's room must have been taken by them."

"They also pulled out all the beans and vegetables in the field, cooked them and ate them. My lord, there are more than ten acres of beans and seven or eight acres of vegetables. We went to stop them, and they beat Gu Ping." Er Niuqi My eyes are red.

"Is Gu Ping okay?"

Seeing that Lin Qiao was nervous, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "It's okay, just take the medicine left by the young master and lie down for a few days and you'll be fine."

People safe is good!Lin Qiao comforted Er Niu, "If the beans and vegetables are gone, they will be gone, as long as people are fine!"

After asking Liu Cai and the others about some things, Lin Qiao sent them to rest. Everyone was tired, so we can talk about things tomorrow.

When everyone left, he saw Qin Xiaoyong staring at him until he got goosebumps all over his body, so he asked angrily, "What are you looking at?"

"Lin Qiao, now I finally know why my elder brother likes you so much."

"Don't talk nonsense, what do you like or not?" Lin Qiao was most afraid of what Qin Xiaoyong would say, and he couldn't hide it now!

Qin Xiaoyong smiled and said, "You are good-looking, capable, and kind-hearted. If I like men, I like you too."

Lin Qiao punched him, "I told you, don't talk nonsense in front of others."

"Just a kid, what does he know?"

Qin Xiaoyong asked curiously again, "You have been taking him with you, what are you going to do?"

Lin Qiao glanced at the sleepy child, but still hugged his child tightly, and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it when we see Chu Lingfeng."

It must be okay to raise this child, it depends on how to raise it?Whether to raise him as a son or leave it to the people below, no matter what, he has to discuss it with Chu Lingfeng.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyong was yawning and still stuck here, Lin Qiao said, "Go to sleep."

"I sleep with you."

"There are so many rooms here, go to sleep by yourself."

"Didn't we all sleep together these days? What are you afraid of?"

Lin Qiao was so angry that he thumped him, "I'll let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense."

These days the conditions are poor, there is flood everywhere, there is no place to rest your feet, you just find a table at random, and everyone huddles together to sleep, but that is sitting back to back to sleep, not to mention he is holding a child in his arms !How come Qin Xiaoyong's mouth is so ugly?

Lin Qiao didn't have any self-consciousness about being a wife, she had to abide by women's morals and so on.He is a man, as long as he doesn't mess around with others.

Moreover, he was busy with water control all day long, so he didn't have time to think about those rules and regulations.
