Lin Yu really went to the market early the next morning to buy some live fish. In order to avoid Qi Jingsi's embarrassment, he went to the wharf to help and sued for leave.

Qi Jingsi looked awkward, and didn't say much, just took the fish that Lin Yu bought, and went into the kitchen from tidying up to making a cup of milky white crucian carp soup without anyone helping her.

When he took the food box and went out, Li Chang was already waiting outside the house leading a black horse.

The distance between Peixian County and Tingxian County is far or close. If you drive a horse-drawn carriage, you can only arrive after dark. Qi Jingsi learned how to ride a horse from Li Chang a few years ago. You can also arrive at Ting County before dark.

"Little uncle." He got on the horse, holding the food box in one hand and pulling the rein in the other, "Then I'm leaving."

"Yeah." Lin Yu nodded with a smile, "Be careful on the road. I wrapped the stew pot with cotton wool. It's hot now, so it doesn't cool down so quickly."

"I'm not at home, you have to eat and go to bed on time..." Qi Jingsi looked down at Lin Yu's back that could no longer be as straight as in previous years, "The big things are not as important as the body, don't stay up all the time It's..."

"I said a long time ago that you can chatter better than the white-bearded doctor at a young age." Lin Yu said with disgust on his lips, but the fine lines of smile at the corners of his eyes were full of kindness, "Don't you hate Xiaoyan when you are so talkative? "

"Uncle..."

Lin Yu might just say something casually, but the speaker didn't mean it while the listener meant it, Qi Jingsi blushed in embarrassment.

"Okay, uncle already knows, let's go now—" Lin Yu said and patted Qi Jingsi's knee lightly, "It's not safe to run a horse after dark, don't teach uncle to worry."

Qi Jingsi nodded, and as soon as his feet gripped the stirrups, the black horse neighed and jumped out. He looked back from time to time, and Lin Yu's figure kept watching him on his way until he gradually disappeared.

*****

As soon as the horses ran out of the boundary of Pei County, the sky began to rain again. These days are summer, and the sky is always sunny and sometimes rainy; in the cloth bag on the saddle, Lin Yu packed it for Qi Jingsi The oil-paper umbrella is still the one that Yan Fei painted with his own hands, but right now Qi Jingsi doesn't have time to spare.

He found a shade and took off his outer robe, wrapped the food box in his hand, found a rope to tie the things to the saddle, and then set off again.

He steered the horse with both hands, always wanting to run faster, as if as long as he was fast enough, he could run out of the range of the rain curtain.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, the closer to Ting County, the heavier the rain.

The rain in Pei County came and went, but the rain in Ting County didn't seem to stop. The road surface was so rough and muddy that the horse's hooves got stuck in the mud several times, almost knocking Qi Jingsi to the ground.

He was stunned until it was dark before he stepped into the county seat of Ting County, and he was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

Although she has never been to Ting County, but Ting County and Pei County live next to each other, Qi Jingsi has heard some things about Ting County.

Unlike Pei County, which has only grown from the newly built wharf in recent decades, Ting County has been sitting on thousands of acres of fertile land for a hundred years. It is a well-known grain-producing county, and the people live a prosperous and comfortable life.

But as soon as Qi Jingsi stepped into the boundary of Ting County, what he saw was a street full of people, ragged and dirty, whether they were beggars or refugees, but most of them were old people, children and women. It was rare that there were a few strong and strong men mixed in, and they all looked wounded.

They huddled together in groups on the side of the road and looked like temporary mat sheds. The rain was so heavy that the shed made of broken mats was half blocked and half leaky.

The woman bent down to protect the baby in her arms, holding a chipped earthenware bowl in one hand; it was almost meal time, and there were large earthen pots in several sheds, and the porridge inside was as clear as water.

Qi Jingsi was unconsciously tripped by the tragic scene in front of him.

It's not that he hadn't heard rumors about an accident in Ting County in Peixian County before him, but there were too many gossips surrounding him and Lin Yu over the years, and he knew at a young age that the rumors were unbelievable; Fei disappeared, and Lin Yu was in poor health. He didn't pay attention to inquire about it, let alone take it to heart.

Just when Qi Jingsi was momentarily stunned by the scene in front of him, a man covered in mud ran up from the other side of the street, and howled at the top of his voice——

"There is not enough manpower on the embankment! Is there anyone else who can move?"

He suddenly remembered that in the few gossip he overheard before, the accident in Ting County was the river embankment, so...

Is this why Yan Fei came here?

He couldn't help but his heart tightened, and he immediately drove his horse to catch up with the talented man.

"You guys here—" He bowed on his horse and grabbed him, "Did some adults from Beijing come here?"

"My lord?" The man looked contemptuous, "Go to the capital with the elder of the capital, or go to the government office—"

"Don't make any trouble here!" He shook off Qi Jingsi's hand, "I don't have time to play with you!"

"He is this year's champion of the new division, his name is Yan Fei!" Qi Jingsi shouted at the contemptuous back of the man who had just left.

"Master Xiaoyan?" The man hesitated slightly before turning around, "Who are you looking for him?"

"Friend." Qi Jingsi said two words solemnly, and seeing the man's thoughtful eyes, he added: "He and I were classmates in the previous academy."

The man stared at Qi Jingsi for a while, probably judging the authenticity of what the other said from his appearance and age, and pondered for a while the sincerity in Qi Jingsi's eyes.

"Lord Xiaoyan is on the embankment." He nodded, turned and walked forward, "If you want to find him, follow me."

Qi Jingsi followed the man to the river embankment, found a tree trunk and tied the horse, and followed up the embankment, only then did he see what happened in Ting County.

There was a gap in the embankment visible to the naked eye.

He threw off the man just now and ran forward, relying on his good eyesight, looking around, the river pouring in front of him formed a waist-deep pond, and there were countless men in it, carrying big stones and sacks, rushing to go Closing the gap in the dam.

He hurriedly searched among the crowd, but he couldn't find the familiar blue shirt.

"Didn't you say that Master Yan is on the embankment?" He grabbed a man passing by and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Lord Xiaoyan?" The man asked, then turned around and shouted into the waist-deep muddy water not far away: "Master Xiaoyan——"

"Someone is looking for—"

Among the dozens of scattered figures looking back, Qi Jingsi searched hard, but still couldn't find the person he was familiar with, only vaguely saw a figure, obviously much thinner than the strong men around him.

"Qi Jingsi—"

The thin man stood not far from the "shore", holding a bundle of broken stones on his shoulders with both hands, and raised one hand to greet Qi Jingsi; the things on his shoulders fell down , almost took the person into the muddy water in front of him.

"grown ups--"

Seeing this, the people around hurried to help them, but they were all carrying things on their bodies, and only a few of them worked together to catch the bundle of rubble that was about to fall, and the person who was about to fall just now was a young man who was washed down from the bank. Hug around the waist.

Lying in Qi Jingsi's arms, Yan Fei was also gasping for breath from the shock just now, he looked up a little embarrassed, and smiled apologetically at Qi Jingsi, but saw that Qi Jingsi was already full of anger.

Qi Jingsi looked down at the person in his arms, even though he hugged him, he still couldn't believe that what he was holding was really Yan Fei.

The green shirt that was always clean and neat was covered with mud and water, the hem was pulled up and pinned to the waist of the trousers, Yan Fei's trousers were rolled over his knees, and his calves were covered in mud.

Qi Jingsi looked at Yan Fei and didn't know if his face was covered with mud or other smudges, only a sink was opened where the rainwater flowed, and he could vaguely see the original fair and delicate skin inside.

He looked at the person in his arms who was so emaciated that he recognized him completely, but he still raised his head and smiled at him. Suddenly, he seemed to be overwhelmed by something, and the evil energy rushed straight up, hitting the bridge of his nose. Sour.

"Did the heavy rain fall into the river, or into your head!" He yelled at Yan Fei with his shoulders straight, "Do you know what you're doing!"

"sorry."

Yan Fei was yelled at head to face, and the men around him looked at each other, but he laughed even wider, and obediently buried his face into Qi Jingsi's arms.

"Jing Si, I'm sorry."
