Lingnan Gang

Wu Weiyang was tired and crooked in the Qin room in northern Jiangsu for a long time, until the clothes on his body were completely dry, and then he stood up contentedly. He finally put on the coir raincoat and bamboo hat that Si'er had prepared for him, put them on hastily, and sat down in front of him. Su Beiqin on the reclining chair said with a smile: "I'll go first, Mr. is not in good health, it's better to stay in the village honestly in this weather, lest Lao Wu want to take revenge on me again." After saying that, he left in a hurry up.

Si'er closed Wu Weiyang's wide open door again, wiped off the cold rain that splashed on his face, turned around and saw Su Beiqin bending over to put on his shoes, he was startled, and said: "Sir, what are you trying to do?" do what?"

Su Beiqin stepped on the fluffy carpet with one foot, his white and thin instep was buried in the thick dark fluff, and the other foot was already covered with thick leather boots. These boots were given by Master Zhang the day before yesterday It was raining intermittently at that time, and it was Master Zhang who brought the shoes up because he was worried that the mountain road would be difficult to walk on, and it would be slippery if it rained, so he sent him a pair of leather boots. It can keep warm, and it is more waterproof and dry than ordinary shoes.

Su Beiqin spent a lot of effort to fasten the belt, his face was slightly flushed, and he said without raising his head: "It is impossible to leave everything to Wu Weiyang, my master will always do it." Do some."

Si'er quickly came over to stop him, and said anxiously: "Hey, sir, didn't the boss also say before he left, let you stay here for a while? Don't say whether you can do things with your body, and it's raining so hard outside now. , I’m afraid that no matter which way I can’t go, sir, you’d better give me some peace of mind.”

Su Beiqin took Si'er's hand covering the lace of his boots, gently put it aside, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to make trouble for your boss, but since the disaster is serious, apart from recasting the dam, In addition, I also need to send some rice, grain and clothing to the people affected by the disaster. Although I am not in good health, I can do what I can at any rate."

As he spoke, he put on the cotton socks and put on the other leather boot. Si'er knelt on the carpet, staring at Su Bei Qin Xian's long pale fingers slowly fastening the brown tie, slightly lost in thought, he I was thinking in my heart whether to obey my husband's wishes, or to keep him in the room forcefully for the sake of his body. With my husband's body, if he stopped me, I really couldn't get out of this room.

Just as he was hesitating, his head was gently rubbed. Su Beiqin's hands were never very warm. At this time, Si'er was shocked. He raised his head and just saw Su Beiqin's black face. Eyes, there was a hint of smile in those eyes, Su Beiqin made a silent gesture to him, and said: "Don't tell Mr. Wu about this, or he will be nagging later."

Si'er curled his lips unwillingly, and finally stood up, went to the compartment to get the coir raincoat and bamboo hat, first carefully dressed Su Beiqin, and muttered: "Then just go and see from a distance, You don’t have the strength to do things like sending rice and grain, let Qin Han and the others do it.”

Speaking of Qin and Han, Su Beiqin couldn't help thinking of the village below, and asked, "Are the people in the village alright with such heavy rain?"

Si'er was stunned, and realized where the village was in Subei Qin dialect, so he smiled and said: "As early as yesterday, Boss asked those people to come up the mountain. Although the weather may not be so safe on the mountain, it is better than Much better to be flooded underneath."

Su Beiqin nodded. Although Wu Weiyang felt a little moody, he never forgot what he had to do. It would be great if he could change his strange personality. Su Beiqin sighed softly and pushed open the door .

The rain outside the door was rapid, and a shallow layer had already accumulated in the small courtyard. When the rain fell, countless water splashes were splashed, and the icy water vapor rushed towards the face, which was much colder than the previous two days.

Su Beiqin shrunk his body under the coir raincoat as much as possible, lowered his head slightly, and walked out of the yard, with Si'er closely following behind.

When he arrived on the platform, Su Beiqin's sleeves were still half wet, Si'er went over to undo the hinge, for the convenience of Su Beiqin going up and down, there were several copper bells attached to the hinge, once the hinge was loosened, the copper bell would ring out It also avoids the need to release the signaling fireworks downward every time you go up and down.However, the rain is too heavy now, and the sound of the rainwater hitting the ground may overwhelm the copper bell. Si'er tried it, but seeing that there was no response, he had to say to Su Beiqin, "Sir, let's go back."

Su Beiqin stepped out and said, "Aren't there stone steps over there?"

Si'er's eyes widened, followed Su Beiqin, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Sir, you can't walk up the stone steps on weekdays, let alone this kind of weather, I think it's better to forget about it, these things are waiting for the boss to come back." , you tell him that he will definitely ask someone to do it, so there is no rush."

Su Beiqin shook his head, "According to Wu Weiyang, I'm afraid the flooding of the tributaries of the Qinjiang River has already begun. Sier, have you ever seen a scene where the river broke through the dam and destroyed the house?"

Si'er hesitated for a moment, shook his head and nodded again, he said in a low voice, "It happened last year too, but it wasn't as severe. It's just that a few houses near the shore were destroyed, and I saw it from afar."

Su Beiqin smiled softly, "Let's go, just be careful, and you'll be fine."

Si'er pursed his lips, and regardless of his drenched sleeves, he just held Su Beiqin's arm firmly, and followed him slowly down the steep steps.

Although the steps were slippery, Su Beiqin was indeed cautious, and Si'er was also very nervous. When he stepped down the last step, he breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his fingers were a little stiff from the cold.

Su Beiqin shook his hand, but his slightly cold hand seemed very warm at this moment. Si'er shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and the two walked towards the warehouse together.

In such a heavy rain, the freight yard was empty and no one was there, only the lights were on in the house at the end of the warehouse, and there were two wind lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the lights inside were jumping, a little weak.

Su Beiqin went up and knocked on the door. He knocked very hard so that the people inside would not be heard by the sound of rain. After a while, the door opened. Qin Han was a little surprised to see the two people at the door, "Mr. Su ,How did you come?"

While talking, he quickly let Su Beiqin in. The coir raincoat on Su Beiqin's body was full of rain, and the ground at the door was wet as soon as he entered the house.

Su Beiqin stood at the door, and waited for Si'er to close the door before he asked, "How much rice, grain and clothes are there in the warehouse?"

Qin Han didn't understand what he meant for a while, but he still replied, "There are not many clothes, because everyone in the village basically gets their own clothes, but there is a lot of rice. There are two or three warehouses in another warehouse, and there are also two or three warehouses in another warehouse that also store grain."

Su Beiqin made a calculation in his mind, and then asked: "How many people are idle in this freight yard?"

Qin Han became more and more confused, "About ten or so people, they have nothing to do in such a heavy rain, do you have any orders from Mr. Su?"

Su Beiqin told Qin Han about his plan, and only halfway through, Qin Han had a disapproving expression on his face, Su Beiqin had to stop, "If you think there is something wrong, just say it. "

Qin Han said: "Never mind Mr. Su himself, it is too dangerous to go down the mountain with a large amount of food and clothing in such weather. The mountain road is difficult, and there is no guarantee that the pack horse will not slip and stumble. This is not a joke."

This is indeed a problem. Su Beiqin naturally couldn't have thought about it. He was about to speak, but Si'er interrupted: "Isn't there a road that leads directly to the mountain?"

Si'er was referring to the passage that was blocked by rocks most of the time, Qin Han frowned, not sure if it was an illusion, his face looked a little gloomy under the lights.Su Beiqin shook his head, patted Qin Han on the shoulder, and said, "I know that road cannot be taken. Although the road is convenient, it goes straight down the mountain, and the rain will flow down. There is deep stagnant water, which is not suitable for walking; secondly..." Su Beiqin's dark eyes flickered, and he didn't continue talking, but proposed another method.

"Let's go to the workshop for casting weapons on the opposite side first, and then go down the mountain from there after resting."

Qin Han was startled, and quickly understood what he meant. Although the karst cave connecting the two peaks would still have stagnant water, because the passage was not straight down, the possibility of danger was reduced, while on the opposite mountain, because of In order to transport all kinds of ore tools up the mountain, a very strong mountain road was built. The existence of this mountain road is very open and aboveboard, because the quarry is also there, and the transportation of the quarried stone is also through that mountain road.

Qin Han thought for a while, then hesitated: "Does Mr. Su have to go? In fact, I can go. Mr. Su is really worried, so you can let Si'er follow me."

Su Beiqin said: "It's okay, my health has been much better in recent days."

Qin Han looked at Su Beiqin, his expression was gentle and firm. These days, Qin Han was quite familiar with Su Beiqin, and he understood that he had already made a decision and would not change it easily, so he could only sigh and said: "Then I Go talk to the big guys first, and Mr. Su will wait here for a while."

Su Beiqin thanked him, then took off all the coir raincoats and bamboo hats on his body, hung them by the door, and sat down at the table inside. He knew that sorting out and transporting these materials would take a lot of work, so naturally he couldn't help. Just have to wait here patiently.

About half an hour later, Qin Han pushed the door in with his body covered in water, and said to Su Beiqin, "Sir, you are ready, shall we leave now?"

Su Beiqin immediately stood up, "Let's go."
