Glued up by my father's nemesis

Chapter 38 Ant colony breaks the dike ...

Yan Fei looked so well-behaved, Qi Jingsi only hated herself for having known this person for so long, and still being deceived by his gentle and docile appearance.

He wanted to take Yan Fei ashore, but the man froze with him by the pond again.

"There are so many villagers who volunteered to help. Which one of them has no parents, wives and children at home, and which one is not hard-working or dangerous?" Yan Fei's tone of voice and expression are still very gentle, as if he is talking about it, but in his words But he refused to give up half a step, "They don't have half a cent's wages, but I have the imperial salary——"

A few days ago, the bank of the river broke its embankment and flooded the low-lying cottages and fertile fields. The flood took away countless lives, and everyone alive was in danger.

No one knows how long the rain will last, and when the river embankment will crack.

Ting County is a small county government with limited manpower, and the government soldiers are busy helping the landlords and lords in the town to transfer property and materials; in order to avoid violent looting by the victims, they escort them along the road to higher ground.

A corner of the brocade-covered carriage was thrown away by the wind and rain, and the gentleman's concubine curled up in the carriage tremblingly, comforting the long-haired puppy in her arms.

In the face of natural disasters, life is cheap, but no matter how cheap people want to live.

Refugees affected by the disaster also began to flee to higher places, but there were always old, weak, women and children who could not escape, and hundreds of acres of fertile land that would be submerged by the next flood at any time.

It's already summer, and the fields have already grown a lot of crops, each of which is the wish of a commoner family to survive after winter.

Yan Fei was also in the carriage where the government escaped before, and saw the devastation he had never seen in his life.

When he jumped off the carriage, there was almost no one to stop him. No matter how expensive the new champion is, it is not as important as his life.

It was he who took some of the lowest-ranking government soldiers who had no time to retreat, waded through chest-high water, came to the besieged low-lying land, and went to the entrance of the village to build a stage for worshiping the river god.

Only there is high enough that it is not flooded.

It was he who waved his arms on the stage——

"I know that asking everyone to follow me to block the dam is a job that could cost your life at any time, but we can't back down!"

"We may not live if we hide here, but more people will surely die before us—"

"Nobody knows who's next."

So countless men whose fertile land and homes were destroyed joined the disaster relief team one by one, helping to transfer the old, weak, women and children to higher ground in the county town, and then jumped into the dangerous vortex beside the river embankment without thinking about their own safety.

There must be people who are not afraid of death for most people to live.

Now Yan Fei glanced at the simple farmer beside him, every one of them was full of trust in him, and he looked at Qi Jingsi in front of him again——

"When I went to recruit civilians, I promised everyone that Zhuangyuan Lang will always stay with them."

Of course he is aware of Yan Fei's stubborn temper, but Qi Jingsi is not going to back down this time; he has never seen the tragedy of the moment when the flood broke the embankment, but he actually put his arms around a trembling and emaciated body——

Yan Fei was almost unable to stand still.

However, he has always been a taciturn character, and his words can't take advantage of half of it, so he can only stand in a stalemate with Yan Fei at the water's edge.

"Master Xiaoyan, although we are all vulgar people who grow crops and have no culture, but these days, a fool can understand your thoughts."

Fortunately, at this time, some of the men watching nearby came up to help.

"Yes, Lord Xiaoyan, these days you can't even sleep for two hours a day. After finishing the work on the embankment, you have to busy with the relief food under the embankment. No matter how young you are, your body is not made of iron."

"That's right." Immediately, someone echoed, "We all grew up by the water, and we are more or less water-savvy. You haven't closed your eyes all day long, and you don't know how to water. If you really fall into the water No one can see..."

"Such a large amount of water is amazing!"

Qi Jingsi listened to the men around her rushing to persuade her, and the knuckles of her fists made a "crack" sound.

"Right now, we can still have a mouthful of clear porridge as relief food, but Mr. Xiaoyan, if something really happens to you, we're afraid that we won't even be able to drink this clear porridge..."

"I'm doing well...it's raining heavily right now..."

Yan Fei turned around and was about to explain something, but suddenly felt his body lighten, and then his feet were off the ground, and the foreground suddenly turned upside down.

Qi Jingsi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she pinched her waist and carried him on her shoulders, and went to the bank dripping in muddy water.

*****

He carried the man to the shore in silence before saying, "You'd better tell where you are going, or I will fight back to Pei County for you, and let my little uncle see what you look like!"

"I……"

Now it's completely dark, and Yan Fei can't see things that are too far away, he can only vaguely see that the people who were huddled by the pond just now dispersed and went to work on their own.

His small face was covered with mud in the river, and he couldn't see the blush anymore, he just felt his face was burning hot, and seeing Qi Jingsi turned to stare at him, he stretched out his hand in embarrassment, "Over there... ..."

No matter how difficult the conditions were for the Sanyuan Jidi Xinke champion, Qi Jingsi thought that there was at least a dilapidated house where Yan Fei could rest, but when he looked in the direction of Yan Fei's finger, he could only vaguely see a dilapidated shed.

Soon he was already sitting with Yan Fei in the hut barely made of rags and rotten mats.

The oil lamp hanging on the wooden pole at the side gave off a faint light, and no one said a word, only the "tick-tick" sound of the broken copper basin leaking rainwater on the ground.

Yan Fei didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but he wasn't an unreasonable fool either; he knew how bad-tempered Qi Jingsi was, so he was worried about him.

So he secretly glanced at the thing that Qi Jingsi had been holding in his hand just now when he went to fetch it.

That thing is obviously very precious, Qi Jingsi has been holding it tightly since she took it, Yan Fei can recognize that it is wrapped in the other party's robe.

"This..." He said tentatively, "Did the little uncle ask you to send it?"

"You know little uncle loves you." Qi Jingsi glared at Yan Fei angrily, "Then let little uncle see what kind of mess you've made of yourself!"

"I know, you love me too."

There was something in Qi Jingsi's idea, so naturally he couldn't escape Zhuangyuan Lang's exquisite and penetrating thoughts.

Yan Fei knew that Qi Jingsi was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, as long as the other party was willing to talk to him, the anger would be over.

He carefully moved to Qi Jingsi's side, gently opened Qi Jingsi's hand, and took out the box that the other party was clutching in his arms like a baby.

Opening the clothes wrapped outside, he lifted the lid of the box, saw the steaming fish soup inside, and smelled the familiar fragrance.

His eyes were blurred for a moment, he walked to Qi Jingsi's side and squatted down slowly, he grabbed Qi Jingsi's knee and raised his face to look at her, "Is it brother Jingsi's handicraft?"

"You..." Qi Jingsi was so frightened by this strange address that his throat stuck, and he even forgot about being angry.

"It's my little uncle who said you are my elder brother." Yan Fei gently laid his face on Qi Jingsi's lap, "As an elder brother, how can you always argue with your younger brother?"

"You...get up!" Qi Jingsi's throat rolled unnaturally, and he deliberately disliked: "It's so dirty..."

Yan Fei got up with a smile, picked up Qi Jingsi's outer robe and put it on the bamboo poles in the shed, and was about to go out to fetch a basin of water to wash his face when a fat middle-aged woman opened the curtain of the dilapidated shed .

"Yo - Your Excellency is really back? I heard Xiao Wu and the others still don't believe it." The woman obviously knew Yan Fei quite well, and she didn't hesitate when she saw someone, and walked in directly through the curtain, "Thanks I came over to take a look, and when I saw a light, I came in."

"My lord, you have been tossing outside all day and haven't eaten?" She said, taking out an earthenware bowl hidden in her bosom, and stuffing it in front of Yan Fei mysteriously, "This is specially reserved for you in front of me. Hurry up, I'll pour you a glass of water, so you can eat—"

"Hey—Aunt Zhang—" Seeing that the woman was about to turn around as she spoke, Yan Fei quickly called her back, "Don't bother."

Aunt Zhang heard the words and looked around, only to find Qi Jingsi in the shed and the food box on the small table.

"Oh, my lord, do you have guests?" She grinned grinningly, "Is there food for you? How dare you! The old lady left first."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Yan Fei and whispered, "This food is not available every day. If you don't want to eat it today, you have to put it away."

"Aunt Zhang, wait—"

As Yan Fei spoke, he walked to the small table, took out two coarse grain steamed buns from the earthenware bowl and put them on the table, poured out half a bowl of fish soup, sealed the lid of the food box again, and handed it to Aunt Zhang.

"The children who were injured by the fall of the embankment in front of them didn't sleep, right? Take it back and give them mends, and the injuries will heal faster."

After sending Aunt Zhang away, Yan Fei went back to the dilapidated shed, and saw Qi Jingsi's face was livid, staring at the two cold, rough noodles on the table.

"You..." He tentatively cautiously said, "Don't you blame me?"

"The number one scholar who is the most valuable in Beijing, has traveled thousands of miles to come to Ting County—" Qi Jingsi still stared at the two buns, completely ignoring Yan Fei, "What do I think makes you so happy to leave? "

"You can't close your eyes all day long. If I don't come, will you drink this with cold water?"

"Even this is not very common. Does Master Yan usually drink rice soup with those refugees in the city?"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Yan Fei, his eyes were piercing.

"You and Lin Yu, one mile and one away, day and night, both regard ourselves as iron-"

"What the hell are you working on!"

The author has something to say: Qi Qi doesn't know what happened yet, but he just feels sorry for Ah Yan, so it may look a little strange, but he will grow up soon!

Everything is related to Beijing's conspiracy, I can only spoil so much orz...

But everyone can give a prize to guess~
