Chapter 516
The fat shopkeeper invited the accompanying officers and soldiers to eat porridge together. After walking for such a long time in the rain, I was already extremely cold. At this time, a bowl of thick, warm porridge was a life saver!

Only the young man leading the team stood under the awning without moving for a long time, looking at the girl in yellow who rolled up her sleeves and served porridge for everyone. He seemed to have not gotten over the shock.

Until she found him, she handed the ladle to the servant at the side and walked over: "Xing..."

As soon as Jiang Tang said a word, the man in front of her suddenly took a step back, as if he was frightened by her.

Jiang Tang: ...

The smile on Jiang Tang's face faded, and his tone was thorny: "Captain Xing refuses to eat it, is it because he doesn't like it?"

The familiar tone sounded, and the young man finally had a sense of reality.

At the same time, it became more restrained.

Even though he had guessed that "Boss Jiang"'s appearance under the veil would not be too bad, he didn't expect that he would look so, so...

Xing Qige subconsciously wanted to avoid these clear spring-like eyes, but he still held back: "Did you already know that there would be a flood?"

Jiang Tang just smiled and didn't speak.

It was just this smile that inexplicably made him angry: "If you knew it already, why didn't you tell me in advance..."

"I informed you in advance. Will you believe it?"

Jiang Tang's words left Xing Qige speechless, as if he wanted to retort as before: "Whether you believe it or not, you should say it!"

But seeing this face that was too beautiful to be true, he, he couldn't say anything.

"Why don't you put on your veil."

He said something quickly, but Jiang Tang didn't hear it: "What?"

"It's nothing."

Looking up again, the naive temperament of the young man has disappeared and he has become serious and steady: "In the disaster-stricken city of Huai'an, many houses have been destroyed by floods and the people are homeless. Please ask Boss Jiang to take in some of the victims. Xing Qige is here Thank you!"

As he spoke, the young man raised his hands and bowed solemnly to the girl.

Even the officers and soldiers who were eating and cursing the weather subconsciously stopped and looked this way.

Xing Qige buried his head very low, and the scenes that flashed through his mind were all of the tit-for-tat confrontation with the girl. The sharp blades that had been thrust out turned into boomerangs and pierced back into his body.

When he thought about it today, he finally understood that everything the girl had done in the past six months was for today, and he, instead of helping her, he kept blocking her and looking for trouble, almost missing a big event.

Now he is asking for help. He is really...

He pursed his lips and made up his mind: "I apologize to Boss Jiang for my past behavior, as long as you are willing..."

"Pfft~"

There was a chuckle in my ears, and the girl's soft and sweet voice rang in my ears: "It is my honor to do my best for the people. You don't need to be polite."

The cold hand was gently lifted by a soft little hand. Xing Qige subconsciously raised his head and faced the girl with a light and touching smile.

At that moment, his heartbeat, which had just calmed down, began to lose control again. Even the back of his hand that had been touched was so hot that it seemed unbearable...
-
"Good news! Captain Xing has found a place to station himself. It is said that it can accommodate more than 3000 people and has been moved there."

Cui Shuwang wiped the rain from his face and walked to Xiao Yinhan. He stood on the hillside with him and watched the officers and soldiers rescuing people in the river.

The surging river water seemed to come from the sky. There were countless corpses, house fragments, furniture, and livestock floating in the turbid river water... There were people hanging on the branches on both sides of the river, constantly waving their hands and calling for help; officers and soldiers kept going into the river to save people, There were also people who lost their strength and were washed away by the flood... Xiao Yinhan looked at the scene in front of him and gradually overlapped with his dream.

In that dream, it was the same, floods, dead people, cries for help, heavy rain...

The overwhelming sense of suffocation swept over me, as if a devil was whispering in my ears:

It's all you, all because of you, these people will die!

it was all your fault!
"I'm talking to you. Do you want to go over there and take a look? In case..."

Cui Shuwang just wanted to pat the man who was standing lost in thought, but before his hand touched his shoulder, he disappeared.

When he looked again, he had flown from the hillside to a tree.

Then, he came back carrying something.

It wasn't until he returned to the hillside that he saw clearly that Xiao Yinhan was a child carrying the "thing".

"Before I finished speaking, you disappeared."

Cui Shuwang touched the child's head, comforted him not to be afraid, and called the soldier Jiang child beside him to take him to the temporary camp, where there would be people to help take care of him.

"The granary in Huai'an is well built. The spies we sent out came back and said that the granary is very safe. When the heavy rain stops, we can send people to get the grain back. By then, the food problem will be solved for the time being."

After saying this, the man who had been cold and ignored everyone finally turned around, with rare appreciation in his eyes: "Well done."

"I think so too," Cui Shuwang nodded subconsciously: "It's not just one place. I heard that many granaries have been reinforced in the past six months, as if they knew there would be floods early in the morning. To remove the grain and grass..."

His voice stopped suddenly, and then he remembered that the first person discovered in Huai'an City was the one suspected of Jiang Tang..."Boss Jiang"?

It really is a pot that can't be opened without mentioning it!
Cui Shuwang regretted it and wanted to explain something, but the man flew into the river like a swallow again.

Forget it.

"Everyone, cheer up. King Rong went down to the river to save people. We can't lose to him!"

With Cui Shuwang's words of encouragement, everyone realized that King Rong had really gone to save people.

What could be a better morale booster than that?
In an instant, the already exhausted officers and soldiers once again threw themselves into rescuing people as if they had been given a shot of vitality.

Some of the people who were rescued even came to save others after they recovered.
-
With Jiang Tang's help, the victims were placed in the workshop one after another.

There is food, drink, and clothes to wear here. It really seems like it was expected early in the morning.

Knowing that these were all given by Boss Jiang, the people looked at Jiang Tang like a Bodhisattva.

Even Xing Qige looked at Jiang Tang with a somewhat complicated look: "There are still many places where there is no news. I am going to take people to continue the search and rescue elsewhere. The victims here will trouble Boss Jiang. I will leave some manpower for you, To prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos."

Hearing Xing Qige's words, Jiang Tang turned around and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of it for you."

After a pause, her voice became softer: "Sir, take care."

Xing Qige's hand holding the handle of the knife tightened unconsciously. Looking at the girl's gentle and calm face, he wanted to ask her why the boy who had been by her side was gone.

But in the end he didn't say anything, he just looked at Jiang Tang with a deep look, then turned around and left.

 I’m still writing the next one, I’ll update it later~
