=====================

After hearing the news, Yuefeng immediately rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion and told Hua Yan so and so.

Hua Yan gritted his teeth in hatred, stomped his feet and said, "If I catch those little thieves, I will cut them to pieces!"

"Okay, the top priority is to immediately organize the people to avoid the flood!"

Hua Yan agreed and ran out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, piercing bells rang in the city, and the people went out to listen. The guards in charge of evacuation shouted as they ran, "The flood is coming soon, gather at the tower immediately!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

They hid in the city for a long time and lived a peaceful life. Although they were poor, their lives were safe.

Now, City Lord Zhang is dead, what kind of Highness has come here, I thought that the good days are coming, but I didn't expect that the flood came first?

The people were talking about it, and no one would move their feet.

Hua Yan rode on a big horse and waved his whip to both sides angrily, causing the people to scream and dodge.

"Those who don't want to die, gather at the tower immediately! Quick!"

Suddenly, a group of well-organized soldiers wandered around the city beating gongs and drums. They shouted as they ran: "It's not good, it's not good! The upstream flood is released, run away!"

As a result, the lucky people finally panicked. They dragged their families, packed their luggage urgently, and rushed to the tower in the center of the city.

Soon, the majestic tower was crowded with people, who pushed each other and refused to give in to each other.

"Boom--"

A roar suddenly cut through the sky, and with the fury of thunder, it struck everyone's heart.

Following the sound, countless birds fled from the northwest, dust filled the sky, and a water dragon broke through the blockade, roaring and sweeping towards it.

The turbulent river flowed eastward along the moat outside the city, but the rising tide spread to the city in an instant.

The icy river broke through the city gate and raged in the city. Countless firewood, clothes, kitchen utensils, etc. were scattered on the water.

"The water is too strong, come up quickly!"

The people on the first floor were shocked. The river had already reached their thighs and was still rising.

Fortunately, this tower has seven floors and can accommodate all the people.

Yuefeng was fearless in the face of danger, and commanded calmly. Under his leadership, the noisy people gradually stabilized.

Suddenly, Yue Feng's face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "Where is Yue An? Where is Yue An?"

Zhao Changling looked around, but couldn't find the nanny, and said in horror, "The child is still in the City Lord's Mansion!"

Yue Feng was so angry that he hopped his feet, got rid of the pull of others, and jumped into the river.

"Wait! I'll go with you!" Zhao Changling hastily followed. Hui Niang entrusted the child to him. If Yue'an died, he would blame himself.

At this time, the river has already overflowed the waist.

Yue Feng and Zhao Changling moved quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion, one behind the other.

When they sneaked into the city lord's mansion, a shrill cry rang out in their ears, following the cry, they saw a chubby baby on the dressing table, the river water had already covered the back of his head , almost drowned.

Yue Feng immediately picked up the child and cursed: "That damned nanny ran away on her own, I want her to look good!"

Zhao Changling touched his wet face and shouted: "The river is rising faster, let's go!"

As soon as the two of them left the city lord's mansion, the river flooded in an instant, covering their chests all afternoon.

Holding the baby aloft, Yuefeng struggled through the torrent.

"There's a stone lion over there, hurry over there!"

Hearing this, Yuefeng couldn't help but walk over immediately, but almost fell into the river.

Zhao Changling grabbed the hem of his clothes, took the child, and urged: "You go up first!"

The matter was urgent, Yuefeng didn't care about delaying it, turned over and climbed on the back of the stone lion.

"boom--"

The turbulent river roared and passed Zhao Changling's throat.

Zhao Changling dragged the child with one hand, and with the other hand he clung tightly to the hollow of the stone lion, only then managed to stabilize his figure and was not washed away by the river.

Yue Feng was in a panic, just got up, his feet slipped, and he nearly fell into the river, then he lay down on the stone lion, let the river water slap his body, and shouted: "Grab my hand!"

"Do not……"

Just as Zhao Changling opened his mouth, the undulating river flowed over his head. He breathed heavily, unable to open his eyes. Maybe he would be washed away in the next second, but he firmly said, "Save the child first!"

"Yuefeng, save the child first!"

Yuefeng was panicked, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth, pulled off the baby's package, held the baby in his arms, and immediately stretched out his hand, shouting: "Hold my hand!"

"Crash-"

A torrent roared past, sweeping everything.

Yuefeng's eyes hurt, and he closed his eyes subconsciously. When he opened them again, Zhao Changling was gone.

Yuefeng paled in panic, and shouted urgently at the white water: "Changling, where are you?!"

The only sounds in my ears are the crying of babies and the sound of splashing water.

Yuefeng glanced at the child, gritted his teeth, and planned to jump into the river, but was stopped by a shout.

"I'm going to find him!"

Yue Feng looked up, and saw a wet figure running on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion, then jumped into the river anxiously, and disappeared on the rushing water in an instant.

"Ji Huai?" Yue Feng was terrified, why is he here?

Yuefeng was worried about Zhao Changling's safety, and worried about the child, so he could only wait anxiously on the back of the stone lion.

On the other side, after Zhao Changling was swallowed by the river, he was instantly involved in the bottom of the river. Fortunately, he was clinging to a log, so he did not drown.

The river flowed so fast that Zhao Changling couldn't control the direction. The wood slammed into a big rock and hit his head. He couldn't help but let go of his hands, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Just before he closed his eyes, he saw Ji Huai stretching out his hand towards him. Was it really a hallucination...

The sun rose and the moon set, and in a blink of an eye, two days passed.

There was the sound of frogs croaking in my ears, and the chirping was very annoying.

Zhao Changling raised his heavy eyelids, his consciousness gradually became clear, he opened his eyes in a trance, his whole body was in unbearable pain, and his vision became more and more blurred.

Scanning slowly, I saw that this was a simple room covered with cobwebs, and a strong figure turned his back to him, concentrating on brewing medicine.

who is it?

At this moment, a face suddenly appeared in his mind, and Zhao Changling asked in a low voice, "Ji Huai...is that you?"

Hearing the movement behind him, the man turned around in surprise and said happily, "You're awake! How are you? Where does it hurt?"

Ji Huai helped him lean on his shoulder, touched his forehead, it was very hot, obviously he had a fever.

"You...is it really you?" Zhao Changling was extremely weak, and even smiled with a bit of reluctance.

But when he saw Ji Huai's face clearly, he asked in amazement, "How did you become like this?"

Ji Huai's hair was disheveled, his beard was unshaven, his eyes could not conceal the tiredness, and there was a joyful smile on his sunken cheeks, but the more he smiled, the more uncomfortable Zhao Changling felt.

Ji Huai touched the side of his face, frowned and asked, "Am I... ugly now?"

Zhao Changling shook his head with a wry smile, and said slowly, "You're not ugly, you've lost weight and haggard..."

Ji Huai hugged him tightly, put his chin against his forehead, choked up and said, "It's been two days, you've been in a coma for two days and two nights, I thought... I'd never see you again..."

"Didn't you... leave?"

Zhao Changling did not forget the quarrel between the two of them. At the moment Ji Huai left, he thought that this was the end of it, and they were just strangers.

Ji Huai's throat tightened, and he sighed, "You're still here, where can I go?"

Zhao Changling remained silent. Ji Huai at this moment was very different from usual. He was cautious and regretful. Is this another method he used?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ji Huai hugged the bony body tightly in his arms, and said with emotion: "I regret it, Changling, I regret it!"

In fact, after Ji Huai left, he didn't go far. He followed Zhao Changling all the way for fear that he might be in danger.

Ji Huai thought that all he could do was watch a farce, but when he saw Zhao Changling falling into the water, he couldn't restrain himself anymore.

At that moment, Ji Huai's hands and feet trembled, he couldn't imagine, if Zhao Changling died, how would his life continue in the future?

Whether it's the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation, or the quarrels and complaints between the two, as long as he is still alive, everything is unimportant.

At this moment, Ji Huai felt relieved, he could no longer lie to himself, he... had already fallen in love with Zhao Changling unconsciously...

Zhao Changling noticed his change, and wanted to escape in a panic, "I...we..."

"Don't move! Don't move!" Ji Huai held him down to prevent him from moving, and explained, "You're injured, so you can't move for a while."

Zhao Changling moved his hands and feet, and the tingling pain swept across his whole body in an instant. The pain was so cold that he sweated profusely. He lay in Ji Huai's arms and gasped. He must have been bruised after falling into the water.

"Are you tired, can you sleep for a while?"

Zhao Changling was already groggy, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't help yawning, and his eyelids became heavier.

Ji Huai touched his side face, and said softly, "Go to sleep, I'll make the medicine, and I'll wake you up again."

Zhao Changling nodded, and as soon as his body relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown period of time, Zhao Changling noticed that two soft and thin lips were pressed together, and the bitter soup filled his mouth.

Either he was too tired, or he didn't want to face it, Zhao Changling refused to open his eyes, still sinking in his sleep.
