Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

The heavy rain was still falling, and when the door was opened, a strong wind blew in, rattling.

With the help of lightning, Shen Yuan discovered that there was nothing in sight, but the heavy rain did not stop at all, and it even became heavier and heavier.

Shen Yu'an had never experienced such an emergency when she was so old, and her heart was in her throat in an instant.

"What should I do, Ah Xun, why did the water suddenly rise so much?" Shen Yuan hung Ji Xun's neck and was hugged by his princess, listening to the heavy rain and lightning and thunder, he was frightened and at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Ji Xun comforted, standing at the door of the house dripping water.

In the lightning, I saw several boats rowing over, one of which stopped at the main house, and the other two rowed to the backyard.

"Your Highness, princess, get on the boat." Shadow jumped into the water from the boat, tied the cable to the post, and covered Shen Yuan with the umbrella in his hand.

"Let me down, Ah Xun, I'm fine." Seeing this situation, Shen Yuan struggled to get down, "I'm not that delicate, so don't hold me."

"No, it's good for my husband to hold you, don't get soaked in the water, the water is very cold, wrap up the bedding and don't catch the cold." Ji Xun said firmly, freed up a hand to pick up a stool and put it on the boat, the shadow was fixed Getting to the boat, Ji Xun carried Shen Yuan into the boat and sat on the stool, then handed her the umbrella.

Seeing the two men taking care of him like this, Shen Yuan felt warm and moved.

The two of them were already soaked in the heavy rain and flood, but their clothes were hardly wet.

"A Xun, brother Ying, hurry up, don't get too cold." Shen Yuan shouted eagerly.

The two agreed and soon boarded the boat.

When Shen Yuan touched Ji Xun's hand, it was as cold as ice, and hurriedly opened the quilt to cover him.

"No, I'm already soaked. I'll only wet the bedding and not keep warm." Ji Xun hurriedly stopped him, then wrapped Shen Yuan's bedding tightly, and told Shadow, "Hurry up and paddle to a higher place, the barracks The terrain on the side is high, so it should not be flooded."

"Yes." Shadow responded, and swipe out of the courtyard in the dim light.

Behind them, two boats rowed out one after another. Aqin, Aunt Yang, and some servants from the house all boarded the boat and left the flooded yard.

The street has become a big river, and there are cries for help in the heavy rain.

"The rain won't stop for a while, so we have to organize rescues quickly." Ji Xun said urgently.

"I have sent people to the Chiyan Camp to report, and General Wang Chang will bring people here soon." Ying Ying hurriedly replied, "Lin Yi should have made arrangements with his official messengers, and His Highness and Wang Hao will evacuate first."

Ji Xun thought about it, and it was the only way to go, so the three boats rowed to the east of the city.

Several victims who fell into the water were rescued on the way, and more people were trapped on the roof without boats, calling for help helplessly in the torrential rain.

Looking at all this, Shen Yuan was helpless and anxious, and couldn't help at all. They were on a very small boat, and it would sink if there were too many people.

After leaving the city and continuing eastward, on the way, Wang Chang and a group of soldiers got a batch of boats out of nowhere, ready to enter the city for rescue.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan was relieved a lot.

After paddling a long way to the east, the land began to emerge. The shadow escorted Shen Yuan and Ji Xun off the boat, and then they walked a long way in the rainstorm before arriving at the military camp.

After arriving at the barracks, everyone's clothes were completely soaked, including Shen Yuan, and everyone was shivering from the cold.

After looking for clean clothes in the barracks, he drank a bowl of ginger soup that the soldiers had prepared earlier in the morning, and after roasting for a while, he gradually regained consciousness.

More and more disaster victims gathered in the military camp. Lin Yi and Wang Chang organized officials to transport the disaster victims here. Fortunately, the military camp was large enough to accommodate more disaster victims.

That night, no one fell asleep, and everyone was concerned about the victims inside and outside the city.

By dawn, the rainstorm finally stopped.

As soon as the rain stopped, Ji Xun took people to Kang'an City to check the disaster situation, and Shen Yuan also went with him.

Although the rain had stopped, the torrential flood became more and more violent, showing no sign of abating.

"Let's go back." Ji Xun held Shen Yu'an's hand, "Without a boat, we will add to the chaos if we go, so why not go back to the barracks to discuss how to deal with the flood."

"Okay." Shen Yuan obediently followed Ji Xun back to the barracks.

The camp was full of victims, and everyone was extremely anxious.

"Has there been any floods in previous years?" Ji Xun asked, after all, he has not been in Lingzhou for a long time, and he is busy building military camps. In addition, the post of prefect of Kang'an is vacant, and he is investigating the situation of local officials. Also very busy.

Now that there is another flood, it is really unexpected.

"His Royal Highness, I have never sent out water before." An uncle replied, "I don't know why there is such a big fire this year, it's strange."

Hearing this answer, Ji Xun and Shen Yu'an were both surprised.

Generally speaking, floods are mostly caused by low terrain, or near the river, and the river surges when it rains heavily.

"Isn't there a river in the west of the city? It's never flooded before?" Ji Xun asked strangely.

"Yes, Your Highness the Night King." Someone replied, "That river is wide and big, no matter how much rain it rains in previous years, it will never flood the city. Could it be 'Zaojiao?'"

It is said that "walking the dragon and turning the dragon" will cause a huge flood, and the victims have awe-inspiring faces and whisper to each other.

Ji Xun didn't believe in such myths and legends, but he wondered why the river, which had never been flooded, suddenly flooded into the city.
"Everyone, don't make wild guesses. After the flood subsides, the king will investigate this matter and solve the flood problem completely." Ji Xun comforted everyone.

It took two days for the flood to subside completely.

Only after the water receded can we see how serious the flood was. The roads were washed away and the farmland was filled with sand~~ It affected two counties and several towns around Kang'an City.

What's more serious is that the food has been soaked in water and moldy, and tens of thousands of victims have been affected.

"Ah Xun, I didn't expect the destructive power of the flood to be so great." Looking at the mud-covered avenue and the messy disaster hospital, Shen Yu'an felt extremely heavy.

"It's nothing, my husband will take care of it." Ji Xun gently touched the seeds of Shen Yuan's little head, and confessed, "I leave the affairs of the mansion to you. I'll go to the yamen to have a look." Ji Xun then said and Ji Dong left.

Shen Yuan rolled up his sleeves and took everyone to clean the yard. It took a whole day to clean up the silt in the yard, and he barely restored the yard to its original state, thanks to the help of dozens of soldiers from the Chiyan Camp.

And on the streets outside, soldiers can be seen everywhere, cleaning up the streets and removing garbage~~ As long as any family needs it, they will take the initiative to help.

I heard that the affected counties and towns also sent soldiers from the Chiyanying Camp. After all, they worked hard and quickly won the hearts of the people.

A week later, Kang'an City was roughly restored to its original appearance.

After working in the yamen for so many days, Ji Xun finally dragged his exhausted body back home this evening.

"So many victims need a lot of money to solve it." After washing up at night and lying on the bed, Shen Yuan saw Ji Xun's tired face, so he squeezed his shoulders and beat his legs, "Why don't you~~ the palace will be postponed? Anyway We have a place to live."

"Okay." Ji Xun nodded, "Take it easy for a while, and wait until these things are dealt with."

"By the way, Ah Xun, you must be busy dealing with disaster victims and political affairs." Shen Yuan massaged him and said, "If you don't want to investigate the cause of the flood, leave it to me."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, anyway, you like to do this." Ji Xun gently touched Shen Yuan's little head, and quickly fell asleep, really tired.

The next day, Ji Xun left the mansion early in the morning, and Shen Yuan was not idle, taking Ying Ying and A Qin to the west of the city.

"Look at what that river looks like. It doesn't rise every year, but it has risen so much this year. It's too abnormal. Could it really be gone?"
