Section 5 4. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest

Li Lianyu stared at Su Qing writing on the ground, and was stunned for a while.

At last he looked up in confusion.

"That... Xiaoqing, I can't read!"

Although Li Lianyu's family has a small fortune, it is far from being able to send their children to school, let alone a woman.

The only thing she can write now is her own name.

And this is what the young lady taught her after becoming a young lady's maid.

Su Qing spat out the letter when he heard the words, and was obviously stunned for a while.

She almost forgot that this is ancient times.

Most people in this day and age are illiterate...

It's strange that they can recognize these things about themselves.

Fortunately, although Li Lianyu was illiterate, the young lady and the guards were.

Although Su Qing's writing is crooked, as if it was made by a chicken pecking at rice, but fortunately, it can be recognized.

"Flood?"

Miss Zheng Yu looked at these two words thoughtfully, not knowing what Su Qing meant.

But after pondering for a while, the guard couldn't help being shocked.

"Miss...not good, if the rain continues, I'm afraid it will be flooded." The guard said excitedly.

"Why? In the past few years since my father took office, he has been building water conservancy projects...there is no possibility of floods."

"It would have been impossible before, but remember the ants infested the embankment on the [-]th of last month? Although the master hired someone to deal with the ant infestation, the embankment has not been repaired in the future!

At that time, there was no rain for more than half a month. At that time, everyone only thought that there might be a severe drought, and they were busy preparing for the severe drought, but they never thought of the sudden heavy rain.As for the embankment, it was just casually reinforced!

If this rain continues...the embankment will burst!And Huai County is in the lower reaches...the upper reaches break the embankment, then Huai County is in danger! "

After being reminded by the guard, the lady immediately came to her senses.

"How can this be good? No, Uncle Liu, let's go back and remind Father! If the embankment breaks, wouldn't the people of Huai County be in danger?"

When the lady heard this, she panicked...

Hurry to go out!

"Miss, don't panic, the embankment has not yet broken, and there is still time to repair it."

The guards were also anxious, but they forgot who reminded them.

After thinking for a moment, he bowed deeply to Su Qing.

Su Qing must have noticed that he was so hostile to Su Qing before, but the other party didn't care about it. Instead, he reminded them of the danger of flooding.

This is revenge with virtue!

"Thank you Xianjia for reminding me! I have offended you so much before, and I will definitely bring gifts to make amends in the future."

He knows his master's character very well... Most likely, the master is still happy about the rain, and he absolutely can't imagine that there will be a danger of breaking the embankment.

If no one reminds, the result must be predictable.

Seeing this, the lady followed suit and said: "Senior Liu Xian is so kind, I will never forget it!"

As for Li Lianyu, she stood there blankly, not yet able to understand what was going on.

Su Qing watched the two spit out the letter, but did not move.

She was also a little surprised by the performance of the two of them.

In fact, this reminder was just a casual mention, but I didn't expect the reaction of the two to be so strong.

However, after listening to their words, it is actually not difficult to guess the reason for the strong reaction of these two people.

Su Qing spat out the letter, and let the three of them leave in the heavy rain.

Su Qing didn't know what the outcome of this county would be.

It's just that Su Qing doesn't care...

I am just an ordinary green snake... what I can do is limited.

But now that she has done what she can, the rest, even if all the people in that county are dead, it has nothing to do with her...

She didn't kill it!

After the three left, the ruined temple became quiet again.

Su Qing felt a little lonely, so she closed her eyes and took a small breath.

What about loneliness?I am a snake, so why not go to the county town?I'm afraid I have to scare a bunch of people!

Time passed slowly.

After the young lady and the others left, they went back to the county town in the rainstorm, and found her father without stopping.

"Why did you come back in the rain? Isn't it better to wait until the rain stops? You too, why don't you stop this girl?" The county magistrate felt sorry for his daughter and said, "Come on, take the lady to change clothes !"

Li Lianyu and the guards remained indifferent, standing aside respectfully.

The matter of persuasion cannot be done by them. Their status is low, and even the county magistrate will not listen to them.

It's up to the lady to say it.

Miss naturally understands this too, although she is timid, she is also smart.

In a few words, my father understood the possibility.

People who can be county magistrates are naturally not stupid.

Previously, the county magistrate and his staff felt that according to the original celestial situation, there must be a severe drought.

So all my thoughts are on preventing the drought.

Don't worry about flooding at all!After all, it doesn't rain, how can it be flooded?

It's just that after listening to his daughter's words, he looked at the weather outside.

The county magistrate felt that this was extremely possible!Especially thinking of the river embankment eaten by termites!

"No!" The county magistrate immediately stood up and said, "Come here, call the craftsmen, and repair the embankment! The embankment must not be broken!"

The county magistrate spoke, and everyone acted quickly.

Today's people are more ignorant, but most of them are also honest.

For the sake of the county magistrate's double wages, even in the rainstorm, he tried his best to repair the embankment.

It rained heavily for a long time. It rained heavily for three days and lightly for four days before it stopped.

Su Qing was also quite depressed because of the heavy rain...

Su Qing couldn't go hunting for seven days, so Su Qing was hungry for seven days.

However, not eating for seven days is actually not a big deal for snakes.

What really made Su Qing feel depressed was that the heavy rain made his dilapidated temple even more dilapidated.

This dilapidated temple had been in disrepair for a long time, but after the heavy rain washed away, the foundations were exposed, and the originally corroded beams were completely broken after seven days in a row.

The current ruined temple is only about half the size of the previous one, because the beams collapsed and half of the house collapsed.

If it wasn't for the dilapidated statue standing there, the whole house might have collapsed.

Looking at the ruined temple, Su Qing couldn't help but vomit...

Su Qing said speechlessly: "That's all, at least this ruined temple is not completely destroyed. It can still be done to shelter from the wind and rain... Besides, it's better to have a nest than nothing."

In fact, the main thing is to stay here to express feelings...

After all, this is also my own home!

Su Qing has always been a nostalgic person... Although this house is broken, it is not impossible to live in!

"It's a pity that I only have one tail, otherwise I have to fix you." Su Qing spit out the letter, feeling a little sad in her heart.

She shook her head, turned around and left, she planned to take advantage of the good weather to hunt for something to eat...

After all, he has been hungry for seven days.

The rain stopped.

In the county seat, the county magistrate looked at the sunny weather and let out a long breath.

"Ninny, this is all thanks to you... If you hadn't reminded me in time, being a father would have caused a catastrophe!" The county magistrate heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to his daughter who was embroidering.

Hearing this, Zheng Yu was slightly taken aback.

She didn't admit that it was her own idea, she was too thin-skinned to take credit for others.

So he said honestly: "Father, this is not due to my daughter."

Section 6 5, repairing the temple

Zheng Yu's words made the county magistrate slightly taken aback.

He originally thought that his daughter was smart, so he thought of something he hadn't thought of, but he never thought that it was someone else.

"Who reminded you? Hurry up and tell my father! She helped me so much this time, if it wasn't for her, let alone my official position, maybe even you and I couldn't keep it... So I must have Thank you so much!"

"This…"

Hearing her father's words, Zheng Yu didn't know how to answer.

After all... the one who reminded her was not alone!

And when I told Father these things, would Father believe it?

After thinking about it, Zheng Yu finally decided to tell the truth...

"Actually...it reminds me that it's not people."

"Not human? What would it be?"

"It's a willow fairy!"

"Liu Xian...?"

Seeing that her father was silent, Zheng Yu thought it was her father's disbelief, so she explained the cause and effect of the incident.

After finishing speaking, she said to her father: "If father doesn't believe me, you can ask the guards and maids who followed me that day... They must not dare to lie to father."

The magistrate shook his head.

"You don't need to ask. Why don't you believe your words?"

Naturally, she is very clear about her daughter's character... She is not a liar.

Besides, what good would it do him to put the credit on a snake?

"Then why is father silent?"

"It's just that I don't know how to thank that Liuxian. Liuxian is a snake, and gold, silver and jewelry in the world, fame and fortune, are probably useless to her, right?"

The county magistrate has a headache...

When Zheng Yu heard this, her bright eyes turned slightly, her heart moved, and she said:

"I remember that Senior Liuxian was in a mountain temple at that time. The mountain temple was extremely dilapidated and seemed to have a history of more than a hundred years. Now that the dilapidated mountain temple is washed away by the heavy rain for a few days, the dilapidated mountain temple will definitely suffer."

Without Zheng Yu going on, the county magistrate already knew what his daughter wanted to express.

"Huh? You mean, let me help her repair the mountain temple?"

"Yes, that's what my daughter means."

"Well, it's indeed a good idea." The county magistrate had some thoughts in his mind, and said: "But if you just send someone there to start work, I'm afraid you will be misunderstood by Senior Liu Xian?"

Zheng Yu thought for a while, thought of a person, and said: "Li Lianyu's father was an old acquaintance with Senior Liu Xian, and she also knows Senior Liu Xian. From her point of view, it should be much easier."

"Well, that's right. Just do as you say, daughter! You really deserve to be my Zheng Shen's daughter, who has completely inherited my intelligence!"
