"Pfft—" Fei Mo couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha...you dark guards still care about this?"

"..." Ansi paused for wiping his hands, "There are no servants or ordinary guards in the house, and if something goes wrong, only the dark guards will come."

Fei Mo thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the case. He had been in Qianzhai for more than a month, but he hadn't seen many servants, and the secret guards usually took care of Qian Misheng's daily life.

The only places where there are outsiders are the big kitchen and the account room, but the assistants are still wearing the clothes of the secret guards.

"So, those who wear the same clothes as you are all hidden guards?" Fei Mo asked.

Dark Four nodded: "Yes, they are all dark guards."

Fei Mo didn't know what expression to make, so he could only say that Chien Misheng was too good at using resources, and played the role of the dark guard to the extreme.

"By the way, you said the emergency repair... is it serious?" Fei Mo frowned suddenly. If it was serious, the house might not be able to live.

"It's mainly because some old houses in disrepair on the periphery have collapsed. The owner's yard was only renovated in the middle of last year, so it's fine." Afterwards, An Si took out a blueprint wrapped in oiled paper and gave it to Fei Mo, "And the boss asked me to Bring this to you."

The drawing wrapped in oiled paper unfolded into a topographical map, Fei Mo looked familiar.

"What is this?" Fei Mo asked An Si without remembering after looking at it for a while.

An Si pointed to the place drawn with cinnabar on the blueprint, and said: "This is the floor plan of Qianzhai. The place drawn with cinnabar is damaged. There will be a lot of heavy rain next, I guess..."

Hearing what An Siyi said, Fei Mo's hand holding the blueprint trembled: "So, what do you want to say?"

"Well...some of them can't be repaired, so I came to ask if we can allocate funds to build new ones." Dark Four said truthfully.

Thousands of houses are originally old houses, and many places have been in disrepair for a long time. Even if no one lives there, it will not survive for many years. There is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River. One collapsed, and the others also collapsed.

If it is rebuilt, it is estimated that a lot of money will be needed.

Fei Mo took out the small abacus and knocked on it for a while, but couldn't count anymore, and immediately stuffed the drawing back into An Si's arms: "Take it, tell me to the door master."

For such a big matter, Fei Mo would not dare to decide by herself, so she had to ask Mr. Qian Weisheng.

Now the two of them didn't even care about opening umbrellas, they rushed through the rain curtain to the corridor, and then walked from the corridor to Qian Misheng's room.

After An Si and Fei Mo reported the matter, Qian Weisheng didn't have much reaction, he just said: "This house is a bit old, it should be built or it needs to be built."

"As for the silver..." Fei Mo hesitated, "I don't know what the harvest will be like this year. Just because of the rain, I guess I have to donate a lot of silver to appease the people."

In previous years, when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, Qianjimen would take the lead in donating money, at least to ensure that there was food in the fields.

This year's rain is unimaginable, and Qianjimen needs a lot of money to go out again.

Qian Weisheng nodded: "That's a problem, but the money can still be turned around. Let people from Jiangbei transfer over. By the way, aren't we going to Jiangbei? Recently, the cost of food and clothing in the house will be reduced first. Let’s see what happens next.”

It was raining heavily, and it was not easy to go out. Just as they were about to go on the road, some of the people came and said that the road ahead had collapsed, and the only way to go out was by boat.

I had no choice but to go back to Qianzhai, and a place near the sea had already been flooded.

Fei Mo accompanies Qian Weisheng in the study to listen to the reports from his subordinates, each news is getting more serious.

The place near the sea has already flooded, and it remains to be seen what will happen next. If it spreads here, they will have no choice but to leave.

However, the next day, the government came to borrow people.

The county magistrate said that they couldn't bear it anymore. Many officers and soldiers were swept away by the flood, but no one stood in front of them. It was the people who suffered. The flood was so fierce that it took only three days. , and the surrounding officers and soldiers are still on the road, and they can't catch up at all.

Qian Weisheng didn't expect such a situation, but he was powerless: "Master Li, it's not that I don't want to make people out, but the people I can use now are these hidden guards in the house, and there are only a dozen or so in total. They still want to pass on the news that the people here also need help, and there is really nothing they can do.”

The magistrate did not expect that there was no one at Qian Weisheng's side: "Then there are so many people in Qianjimen, so there is nothing extra?"

"They're all in Jiangbei. They were dispatched to develop Jiangbei's business before. Now the road between Jiangnan and Jiangbei is also flooded. There's really no way." Qian Weisheng explained helplessly.

The current situation is that the people can only help themselves, and then wait for help to come.

The magistrate left with a sigh, and had to worry about where to find someone.

Fei Mo stopped tapping the abacus and said worriedly: "Sooner or later, the water will rush to this side. It's not a solution if no one goes."

Qian Weisheng threw away the news sent by the hidden guards, and his face was so cold that he said, "The people in Jiangbei will be the fastest to help, but the roads in Jiangbei are flooded, and Jiangnan cannot protect itself. There is no way to save Jiangdong."

"Can't you pull it in? Come back after the water recedes." Fei Mo could only think of such an idea.

"The main reason is that not many people want to leave. The south of the Yangtze River has been quiet for too long, and everyone must feel that it is similar to the usual rain and will not flood their heads." Qian Weisheng had a headache when he mentioned this.

And the flood is not the most terrible, there is also thunder and lightning.

They all grew up in rivers and seas, and they know how to drink water. As long as there are more people, there may be no accidents, but there are thunders above, and they will be killed if they don't pay attention.

Still in the water, a thunderbolt strikes, at least to death.

After discussing for a whole day, An Yi sent the latest news—Jiang Dong was gone.

What should come is still here. The east of the river was completely flooded, and the people began to go to the south of the river. The roads on the north side of the river were blocked and it was impossible to get through.

Qian Weisheng temporarily sent a letter to the government to unite with major shops to stabilize the victims first.

At this time, there were two and a half days left before the rescue of officers and soldiers.

At night, the rain was heavy again, and there were bursts of thunder, and I couldn't hear my whispers clearly, and my ears were numb from the thunder.

Fei Mo went to see Qian Misheng with a lantern. Neither of them could fall asleep. The flood came so suddenly that they had no preparations.

"At first, I thought that the astronomical phenomenon said that there would be disasters in the summer at the end of the year, and I was still worried about what to do with this year's harvest." Qian Misheng whispered to Fei Mo in the dark, "I didn't expect it to be a spring thunderstorm."

"Master..." Fei Mo took a few steps forward, "Should we also retreat? First go to Jiangxi, and then go to Shu."

Qian Weisheng looked at him quietly for a while, then shook his head: "I can't leave yet... Tomorrow, I will ask An Si to send you away."

Fei Mo didn't understand, so: "Sect Master, what did you say? What do you mean by asking An Si to send me away tomorrow?"

"Be obedient, I will wait until the rescue arrives, and as soon as they arrive, I will catch up with you." Qian Weisheng stood up, walked up to Fei Moth, and patted his head, "When the time comes, I will tell you... "

"Huh?" Fei Mo looked at him suspiciously, "Tell me what? Can't you say it now?"

Qian Misheng chuckled suddenly: "I can't say it now, I have to leave a thought for myself, if a person doesn't have a thought, it's hard to survive."

Just like in the past ten years, because of thoughts, Qian Misheng never thought of giving up no matter how painful he was.

"Hey, you go first, you will distract me here." Qian Misheng said, staring into Fei Mo's eyes.

Fei Mo hesitated for a moment, then let go: "That's good, but I won't go far, I will wait for you in Jiangxi, and there is no need to send me off in secret, I will wait in Jiangxi for three days, just three days, if you don't come looking for me, come back Looking for you."

"Okay, just three days, I will definitely be there." Qian Weisheng personally agreed.

The road from Jiangnan to Jiangxi is fine, but the people are unwilling to evacuate; just as people in Jiangdong think that the sea water will not flood them, people in Jiangnan also think that the flood will not overwhelm Jiangnan.

A land of abundance, a paradise on earth.

However, it should be flooded or it must be flooded, on the night when Fei Moth left.

Qian Weisheng personally sent Fei Mo to the boat, saying that when the help arrived the day after tomorrow, he would take the hidden guards to Jiangxi to find him, and he would never break his promise.

But that night, the flood reached the south of the Yangtze River, and Fei Moth on the boat didn't even know the news.

When a disaster happened, the news always spread very slowly. Fei Mo got off the boat, found the station of Qianjimen, took the people from Qianjimen to the ferry and waited day after day, but no one was found.

On the third day, the people from Qianjimen came... They couldn't get in touch with An Yi.

Fei Moth paused as she was shuttling through the ferry, but did not speak, and continued to search at the ferry, one ship after another, he did not believe that Qian Wei could not be born.

I have been there so many times that the boatman knew him, so he said to him: "Brother, don't wait, there have been no boats from Jiangnan these days, and the boat that came three days ago is already the last one." gone."

Fei Moth actually waited for ten days. At first there were boats coming one after another, but then they really disappeared.

"Steward Fei Mo, let's go back? Sect master..." Followed Fei Mo's hidden guard and persuaded, "It will be fine..."

In such a situation, does anyone know if something will happen?

On the 15th day, Qianjimen received new news that the flood had receded, and the government began to count the number of missing persons.

In this flood, there were not a few officers, soldiers and people who fought against the flood, and some of them didn't even leave their names.

There is also Qian Misheng... There is no such person.

Including the dozen or so hidden guards who followed Qian Weisheng, none of them were found.

The people from Qianjimen went there with the officers and soldiers, and when they came back, they all said that they went directly to the front line to fight the flood according to Anyi's order, and they had never seen Qianmisheng and them.

The news stops here.

Fei Mo didn't believe in evil, and followed the boat back to the south of the Yangtze River. The flood had not yet receded, so she had to use a boat to get in and out.

At the gate of the city, Fei Mo saw Guanshi Li, the one in the big kitchen.

After asking in the past, I found out that Qian Weisheng not only sent away Fei Mo, but also everyone except the hidden guards, and he was in a hurry, as if he knew that the flood would submerge Jiangnan that night.

Farewell to Manager Li, Fei Mo went to the magistrate again.

However, the magistrate said: "I haven't seen Master Qianmen since the day of the flood. He sent the news of the flood in advance. Unfortunately... no one believed it at all. No matter how you say it, I didn't believe it, and then... I didn't see him again. gone."

The flood gradually receded, revealing the original appearance of Jiangnan.

The flood was so big, but not many houses were knocked down, and many high-walled courtyards remained in their original appearance, only the doors and windows were broken.

Fei Mo walked through the bluestone path, held an umbrella and walked to the original Qianzhai. Looking up, it seemed that it was still the same, as if the door was opened, and there were still those familiar people inside.
