Hand over the golden finger to the country

It was sunny after the rain, but the streets were still full of water, and there were big puddles everywhere.

Yan Yan and the others were a little bit better. They were wearing boots made of special materials, which were waterproof, and it was no problem to step in the water.But ordinary people wear cloth shoes, and when they step on it, the shoes are completely wet.

Some men felt sorry for the shoes, took them off and carried them in their hands, and walked through the water wearing socks.

"Why didn't you just take off the socks?" Zhou Zhou was a little surprised, "Then why don't you wash the socks when you go back?"

Yan Yan glanced at the man and said, "Maybe it's a custom, you can't leak your feet or body."

Zhou Zhou nodded, expressing his understanding.

Wen Xiao jokingly said: "It may also be because I'm afraid that bare feet will be too painful."

Yan Yan and Zhou Zhou laughed immediately, and the three of them talked and laughed while admiring the "Hundred Scenes of the City after the Rain in Ancient Times", but Qin Yu kept staring at the ground and every corner of the city.

Yan Yan found out what Qin Yu was looking for, and followed suit. After a closer look, he found that there were quite a lot of drainage channels in the city.

But there are many, but the channel is very narrow. At this time, it has been raining for several days, and the water has already filled the drainage channel, and it will not be discharged for a while, so the water is accumulated.

But depending on the situation, it won't be too long. At night at the latest, the situation will definitely be much better.

"People in ancient times were very wise." Yan Yan praised.

After I finished speaking, I thought that no wonder the people in the city were not worried, because their emotions couldn't overwhelm them at all.

The city is full of bluestone brick roads, with a lot of water and muddy, but not muddy.But near the gate of the city, there are ordinary brick roads and dirt roads, which immediately become muddy after being soaked by rain.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi opened the city gate to let people in, otherwise those people who suffered from the wind and cold, myrrh and staying in the harsh environment would soon die.

Yan Yan and the others walked to the porridge shed and stood watching from a distance.

Almost all the refugees were let in. At this time, the side of the porridge shed was crowded with people, and the roof was almost toppled.

"Please, give me a bowl of porridge! The child is starving to death!"

"Didn't you just move a cart of porridge? It's over so soon?"

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze!"

"Today's porridge has been served, come back tomorrow!"

"Don't crowd here! Go, go! Go to the refugee center in the north of the city!"

……

Looking at the situation over there, Yan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, "There is also a refugee camp, it seems that a reliable one has come here this time."

"En." Qin Yu nodded, and when he was about to say something, he was keenly aware of something.

Qin Yu turned his head to look in that direction, his sharp eyes turned into surprise.

"what happened?"

The other three noticed Qin Yu's strangeness, and unanimously protected Yan Yan.

Qin Yu: "Someone I know."

Yan Yan looked in the direction of his eyes and found that the person walking towards them was really someone he knew.

"The shopkeeper of the antique shop?" Zhou Zhou was quite surprised, "Is this world actually the martial arts world from last time!" He didn't see it at all.

Previously, there were crowds of martial arts people over there, but there were not a few of them here. There were some people wearing clothes similar to Jianghu people, but they seemed to be bodyguards.

Is it because this side is too far away, and martial arts people are not willing to come?Or has the imperial court wiped out the martial arts in a few months?

Several people are somewhat puzzled.

Wen Xiao hadn't joined the team when he came last time, so he hadn't seen him, but he had read the information and knew there was such a person.

Yan Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly realized that it was this world, no wonder the way of heaven is so... well, forget it, Yan Yan held back his complaints, afraid that he would hear.

Go back and remind Qin Yu and the others to pay attention to what they are doing, the Heavenly Dao may be watching.

Don't be careless, you were forcibly kicked out of the world and sent back.It's okay to simply send it back, but I'm afraid of being blacklisted and never coming again, that would be too miserable.

There is also a saying: When it rains, it means God is crying.

Then it has been raining for so long, could it be that Tiandao has been crying?

What are you crying for?What happened to cry for so long?There are time-travelers, rebirthers, etc., disturbing the turmoil in the world?

Yan Yan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason, seeing the shopkeeper walking quickly with someone, she stopped thinking about it.

Zhou Yi was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that Yan Yan and the others were behind the Liulibei.After leaving last time, he never saw them again. He sent people to inquire for a long time, but he couldn't find any trace of them.

Thinking about how they seemed to know the weirdness of those three people before, and even had the ability to punish Zhou Si and the other three, Zhou Yi felt that these people might be capable people.

Zhou Yi even felt that Yan Yan and the others were gods, God saw that he had been tortured by these three people for a lifetime, and asked him to go back to the past and do it all over again, and then specially sent someone to rescue him.

After he couldn't find any trace of them, Zhou Yi gave up, and believed in his heart that they were capable people and strangers, the kind who knew fairy arts!

It's normal not to find this kind of person, how can a mortal find the traces of immortals?

Zhou Yi gave up, but he still looked forward to it in his heart, imagining that Yanyan and the others might show up again one day.

Unexpectedly, I actually saw them again today!

Surprised and delighted, Zhou Yi walked over quickly, and directly handed over to Yan Yan and the others, "Xian... Gentlemen, we meet again!"

The guards who followed Zhou Yi also widened their eyes slightly. They didn't expect him to respect these people so much. The guards were surprised and curious, but also respected Yan Yan and the others.

Yan Yan was frightened by his passionate eyes, and didn't understand what was going on.

"Um... hello." Yan Yan greeted with a smile.

Zhou Yi glanced at the people passing by, and said: "There are so many people here, it's not a place to talk, if gentlemen don't mind, come to my house to talk about it?"

Although I don't know what the situation is, but seeing his respectful, friendly and polite appearance, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

In particular, the people he brought were equipped with silver knives. The silver knives were for officers and soldiers. If he could protect the shopkeeper, it meant that the shopkeeper's identity was not simple.

The four of Yan Yan looked at each other, and accepted his invitation with a smile, "Then I will bother you."

Seeing that they agreed, Zhou Yi smiled happily, "Don't bother, don't bother, please!"

Zhou Yi lived in a very large mansion, with all kinds of pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, flower-door verandahs in the courtyard, and the furnishings in the house are extremely luxurious and elegant.

A touch of sandalwood passed through the tip of his nose. After Yan Yan sat down, he immediately found the source of the fragrance, which was the three-legged round tripod jade carving incense burner on the table.

Yan Yan looked at the delicate and vivid carvings on it, and couldn't move his eyes away.Even if this thing is not an antique, I think it can be stored away.

So delicate!

The maid poured tea for Yan Yan and the others, and Yan Yan searched the room with her eyes, making a sound of envy in her heart.

In the reception room, from tables, chairs, benches to screens, from calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall to teacup decorations, everything is a boutique, which can be seen at a glance.

How rich is this shopkeeper!Is it like this for antique sellers?Put all the good things at home?

Yan Yan suddenly remembered that this is not the place she came to last time, the distance between the two places is hundreds of thousands of miles, the shopkeeper's shop is not here!

Just when Yan Yan was in a daze, the maid finished pouring the tea and exited the room.

Zhou Yi smiled and looked at Yan Yan and the others with joy in his eyes, "Gentlemen, I am so happy to meet you! I haven't had time to thank you, if you hadn't punished Zhou Si and the others before, I wouldn't have Good day now."

Four people: ...?

What is he saying?

Yan Yan: "We punish Zhou Si and the others? No."

In fact, he wanted to ask Zhou Si who was here, but he felt that it was not good to ask like this, and it seemed awkward.Let's just pretend and see if we can get something out of it.

Zhou Yi said "I understand" all over his face, "I know you can't disclose your background, and some things can't be said, as long as we know it well!"

The four of them were even more confused, not knowing what he meant at all.

Yan Yan tentatively asked: "Do you know our origin?" I only told him last time that they are businessmen from overseas.

Zhou Yi pointed to the sky, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you come from above? I understand, after all, the secrets of heaven must not be leaked!"

Four people: "..."

Yan Yan and the others looked at each other, and the trace of worry in their hearts disappeared. It turned out that they didn't know that they were visitors from another world, but they mistakenly thought they were gods.

Scare them!

Several people were a little dumbfounded, but they still felt that this identity was pretty good. Yan Yan looked at Zhou Yi and smiled without admitting or denying it.

Zhou Yi felt that they had acquiesced, and was quite excited, "Sure enough! How about after you left last time, you haven't been found at all."

Yan Yan responded with a few words, and began to say: "Last time we left in a hurry, what happened in the end?" Are you really stupid and incapacitated?He was quite curious.

Seeing that Yan Yan wanted to know, Zhou Yi explained the follow-up carefully, telling them all including his own background and identity, without leaving anything behind.

Yan Yan felt that she had just listened to a big scene, and the inside of this matter was so complicated. What kind of illegitimate child, civet cat for prince, past life and present life, is simply the plot of a novel!

After thinking this way, Yan Yan suddenly felt that this world might be the world of a certain novel, which is why there are so many messy people.

Yan Yan looked at Zhou Yi calmly, wondering if he was the chosen one of this world, the protagonist.

It's very similar, in the previous life, things went smoothly, but a bunch of people came out, no matter what they did, they would involve him, and they couldn't escape or fight.Being able to come back after death is a treat only the protagonist can have!

In that case, Zhou Yi is not living well now, why is Heaven crying?

Yan Yan couldn't figure it out, and didn't bother to think about it.After listening to Zhou Yi's story and chatting for a while, Yan Yan changed the topic to Shui De.

Since Zhou Yi is the Prince Gong who holds the real power, then if they don't do anything, they will feel sorry for those refugees outside and the merits they sent to them for nothing.

The topic was changed, and Zhou Yi got a headache when he heard it, and he talked about all these things one by one.

It just started raining a month ago, and floods occurred not long after. Although the place is remote, the city lord still used specially trained eagles to spread the news to the royal city.

At the beginning, the Holy One only allocated money, but after a few days, another letter came, saying that the situation had become serious. Some river dams burst and flooded many villages and towns.

When the situation became serious, His Majesty sent ministers to take care of it, but he heard that the city had been flooded halfway, so they stayed in the city where Yan Yan and the others were staying.

Originally, the imperial envoy still wanted to work, but it turned out that the city lord was not a good person. He was greedy and didn't work, so he had to drag others along.

The imperial envoy was seduced by the gold and silver beauties and successfully fell.

Anyway, Emperor Tiangao had no place to appeal his grievances, as long as he said that the situation was too serious, everyone would die after the water was cured, and the Holy One couldn't blame him.

After all, most of the people they brought were their own people, and even those who weren't their own people were recruited by the city lord and became their own people.If everyone is greedy, then no one will report it.

They are not afraid of these unscrupulous people, if they have the ability, they will go to the capital to sue imperial court!

Leaving aside the fact that they will be beaten before filing an imperial petition, they don't even know if they have the money to go from here to the capital!

In this way, the flood here is completely left unattended, and the situation is getting worse.

The previous city had already been flooded, and no one sent news on the pilgrimage. These imperial envoys reported good news but not bad news, and deliberately lied to fool the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty really thought that the flood situation had improved.

If Zhou Yi hadn't been traveling in the nearby city, happened to meet the refugees and heard the truth of the matter, the matter might have been concealed, and the dead people would have died in vain.

So Zhou Yi sent a letter to his own brother, the emperor, and hurried here, pretending that he was sent to control the flood, and only then rescued the people trapped outside the city.

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but patted the table, "The lord of this city is absolutely lawless here. He has been arguing with me for several days since I came here, and he is giving gifts and holding banquets. He is full of inside and outside talk. Insinuating that I don't care, there is no need to care."

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand from left to right, and said with a mocking smile: "Look at this place, how magnificent it is, it's bigger than my house in the capital, and the house is almost as expensive as the imperial palace!"

Yan Yan suddenly realized that it turned out that the city lord was greedy, no wonder it was so luxurious.

"Then what are you going to do now, my lord?" Yan Yan asked.

Zhou Yi sighed: "Now that the flood is in the air, I don't have the time to deal with him. I can only deal with the flood first, resettle the refugees, and wait until everything is settled."

Yan Yan nodded, this matter is indeed more important.

"But with him here, I'm afraid he will be a hindrance? You opened the city gate and let refugees in, and he has no way to make money." Yan Yan only hoped that he would only be greedy and not poisonous, or there would be trouble later.

Zhou Yi: "It's okay, the Holy Majesty's decree has come down, and I have full power to manage it at this time. With the holy decree in hand, I don't believe he dares to do anything."

"You still have to be careful." Qin Yu reminded.

"Yes, it's hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a local snake, so you have to be careful." Wen Xiao echoed.

Seeing the immortals caring about him, Zhou Yi was very moved and delighted, and after earnestly thanking him, he said: "The imperial decree and relief food and silver are already on the way, and there are also heavy troops to send to each other, it will be safe when they come.

During this time, I will not fall out with him. "

Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone comes, "That's good, let's control the water first."

Zhou Yi paused for a moment, and after realizing it, he asked pleasantly: "Will you gentlemen help me control the water?"

Yan Yan smiled: "Of course, before watching the people die, Kong had all his abilities but couldn't use them. Now that I meet you, of course I must do my meager strength to save the people from the flood."

Zhou Yi stood up and laughed heartily, folded his fists and bowed, and saluted Yan Yan and the others, "I, Zhou Yi, thank you gentlemen on behalf of the refugees and the common people!"

Yan Yan helped Zhou Yi up, and the two boasted to each other after a business meal, and the other party was all smiling.

Just as they were discussing how to control the water, there was a knock on the door.

"Owner!"

Zhou Yi: "Come in."

Several people stopped talking and looked towards the door.

The guard who came in knelt down on one knee, saluted hurriedly, and reported eagerly: "The small dam of the Liuxi River above the Tangnan River has been washed away! The two nearby villages have all suffered disasters, and the flood is still continuing!"

"What!" Zhou Yi stood up abruptly, with an ugly expression on his face.

The faces of Yan Yan and the others were also heavy.

Zhou Yi asked a few more words, waved away the guards, found out the map and showed it to Yan Yan and the others.

"There are two big rivers nearby. One is the Tangxi River. Its dam is here. It is the largest. The city disappeared after being washed away." Zhou Yi pointed to the location below and continued.

"This is the Tangnan River, and the dam is here. There are six villages and two towns between the two dams, and there are several small rivers. The dam in the southwest just collapsed. If it rains again, the Tangnan dam will also collapse. Then the situation in our city is not good."

Yan Yan looked at the many meandering rivers on the map and frowned slightly. Why are there so many rivers here?

After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Yi looked at the map and said, "I want to go to the village next to the Tangnan River to see the situation, gentlemen..."

Yan Yan and the others nodded: "We will go too."

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I'll send someone to prepare, and we'll set off as soon as possible while the weather is fine."

"Okay." Several people had no objection.

Soon, Zhou Yi was ready to set off with his guards, Yan Yan and the others. Just as he was on the journey, Zhou Yi glanced at the sky and said, "I hope it won't rain again..."

Yan Yan paused, turned his head and said to Zhou Yi: "From now on, you can sincerely pray that it won't rain again, and you'd better tell it."

"Ah?" Zhou Yi was stunned, not knowing what Yan Yan meant, "Will this work?"

Yan Yan showed a mysterious smile: "Maybe God heard your prayer, and he really couldn't let go."

If you really are the main character, His own son, then prayer will definitely help!

After all, this world is very idle.
