Dress to be a celebrity

Yu was in a hurry, Aizi was in a dangerous situation, and County Magistrate Song couldn't tell who was calling him and why he was calling him Shibo.He only heard the word "Shi Guan", he couldn't help but grabbed the man and shouted: "Shi Guan'er is on that embankment, such a big water, didn't he accidentally wash him into the water!"

The man behind him was even more anxious than him, and casually comforted him, "Don't worry, Uncle Shi, I'll go and bring him back." Then he pushed him to the hand of the yamen servant, got on his horse, and galloped towards the embankment in front of him through the muddy water. .

During the heavy rain, you can't really see where people are, but you can only see the white waves rising from the soaring stream in the distance.The closer we got, the deeper the water on the ground became. When the water almost reached the belly of the horse, we could finally see the long embankment hidden by the rain column and the stagnant water. The catapults are blocked everywhere, only one piece is not closed, and the conscripts are gathering on both sides of the gap to throw earth and rocks to block the water.

Huan Ling urged his horse to rush up the embankment. Before he could go up, he asked some minzhuang to stop him and asked him who he was.

At this time, he said that he was the prefect of the prefectural government who was waiting to take office. First, it was difficult to verify his identity, and second, there was no prefectural prefect who would manage the river workers in Xiatou County before he took office. It is easy to be put on the embankment.Then he added and subtracted, and said a more appropriate identity: "I am the nephew of your Song Xianzun, and the elder brother of Song Sheren. Shibo, I was entrusted by my uncle to take care of my third brother."

The person who stopped him thought that the person who braved such heavy rain to find someone at the mouth of the creek that burst the embankment must be a relative with real friendship, so he believed his identity, and quickly agreed to guide him, and asked the surrounding people to find a sheepskin. Put on the life jacket for the young master Tang.

Huan Ling put on the lifejacket, which was bulging and fat, and stretched out his arms. Regardless of whether it looked good or not, he threw off his horse and stumbled up the embankment.

There were dense crowds of people on the embankment, and behind them someone was pushing a wheelbarrow to transport loads of sacks of earth and stone, and people farther away by the water picked up the sacks and threw them into the rapids.The rain column hit Huan Ling's face, the mist in front of his eyes was blurred, and he couldn't distinguish the figure from a few feet away, but when he saw the hazy figure, with the help of a god, he immediately recognized the one who stood out among the crowd. Tall and handsome figure.

Song Shi was also wearing a fat sheepskin life jacket, holding an oil-paper umbrella with several holes in his hand, and shouted: "Throw those bamboo poles to the bottom, and throw the earth bag into the middle of the bamboo poles first to block the rapid flow Enough!"

It's really not easy to transmit sound in such heavy rain, his throat almost cracked.Several trucks transporting earth and rocks passed by. He was about to take a few steps back, but when he raised his foot, he found that his left boot was sunk in the mud. Going up, it made my feet a little unstable.

He didn't dare to fight hard, he stepped on the boots to stabilize his body, but a hand pressed from behind, supported his shoulders, and helped him stabilize his feet.

He simply used his strength to pull out his left foot, stepped on the muddy water with bare sock soles, and bent down to pick up the boots.He was about to turn around to thank him, but when he heard the person behind him call "Shi Guan'er", he was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly turned his head to help that person, and was about to call him "Father".

His father is in his late [-]s, he can't stand the storm, let alone go to the embankment to worry about it, what if he sits down and gets sick!

However, before the voice of father came out, a young, familiar and not-so-familiar face came into his eyes.He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the man took the initiative to say: "Shi Guaner, it's me, you Senior Brother Huan."

But isn't Brother Huan in Beijing?I heard that he passed the second-class Jinshi examination and became a censor. Why did he suddenly appear in Wuping for no reason?Moreover, brother Huan Shi has always called him Song Sandi, and occasionally called him junior brother, but he has never been called Shi Guaner.He made such a fuss that he thought it was his father who went to the embankment...

His mood was a bit complicated, and Huan Ling also realized the problem, and explained loudly: "I saw Song Shibo over there just now, and he was shouting 'Shiguaner' loudly. The river dam has breached? Do you want to ask the local defenders to help repair it? The local river master is a disciple of my grandfather. Although I can't help much, I can still write a letter to ask Master Lu to find someone to help."

Song Shi smiled gratefully at him, shook his head, and shouted in a broken voice: "That's not necessary, as long as the hole can close the dragon, there will be no big problem with this embankment. This is not a place to talk Brother Huan, please go back and look after my father for me."

In the heavy rain, if you don't shout at the top of your voice, no one a few steps away can hear what you say.

Hearing that his voice was very hoarse, Huan Ling was afraid that he might hurt his throat, so he moved closer to him, frowned and said, "If you have any orders, tell me in a low voice, and I will pass the orders for you."

Song Shi was about to refuse, but Huan Ling had already shouted to the people beside Longkou: "I am the elder brother of your Song Sheren, and I will be the one to pass on the news about the river construction here."

He was standing next to Song Shi. Both of them were good-looking, Tsinghua characters, with the same northern accent, tall stature, and fair complexion bred from studying in the room. They really looked a bit like brothers.The folks who filled the river thought that he was also the son of the Song family, and they were willing to obey his orders. Song Shi couldn't resist him, so they had to ask the folk husband to report to his father, and summoned this guest who came from a long distance on the embankment. .

The two cooperated with Min Zhuang to lower bamboo piles and throw earth and rocks, then walked to the gap and watched people throwing cloth bags down the road.There are cloth bags faintly visible under the surface of the water in several places, and the water flow has eased a lot. The bamboo poles inserted into the mud at the bottom of the water are like a halter to restrain the water flow, and the sandbags thrown in between are piled up little by little, finally confining the last section of the water flow. In the river.

Before the rainstorm stopped, they patrolled the embankment for a while, using needle cones to test the softness of the embankment surface, and did not go down the embankment until they were sure that the embankment soil was tightly built and would not be washed away by the water. for a while.

County Magistrate Song only dared to go to a nearby farmer's house to wait after he heard about him, but he couldn't land with his heart hanging.Seeing his son at this moment, he really relaxed, rushed forward and called "Shi Guan'er".

Song Shi remembered that Senior Brother Huan called him "Shi Guan'er" on the embankment, subconsciously looked back, and said a little embarrassedly: "My clothes are wet, please don't hug me, first find two dry clothes for Senior Brother Huan and me .”

County magistrate Song said anxiously and painfully: "Why is your voice so hoarse? Could it be that you are suffering from the wind and cold? Look at your body, the rain is blowing through you, isn't it cold? Fortunately, Fujian is still here in the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s so hot, otherwise you’ll get sick from the cold. I’ve asked someone to prepare clothes and hot water, so hurry up and take a shower and change at the back..."

While talking, he realized that there was Huan Ling in front of him.

It was really embarrassing to see the woman's family members just a few months after the two families divorced.But after all, this son is not the person who presides over the resignation of the engagement. Now, for some reason, he has traveled all the way to Fujian, and when he met, he took the risk to help him find his son on the dike. Master Song can't blame him. The son of the Tang family said politely: "Mr. Huan, why don't you go take a bath first and change into dry clothes? I didn't bring any clothes when I came out. There are only the clothes of the farmer here. I hope you will not take responsibility."

With a bitter look on Huan Ling's face, he bowed deeply to their father and son: "The marriage of Song Huan and his family failed, and it's all because of my Huan family's dishonesty. My nephew came here to apologize today. But Shibo, although our two families We can't get married, but Third Brother Song is still my father's disciple, and my nephew's younger brother, Uncle Wan Wang can still treat me like a nephew in the future, so don't reject me thousands of miles away."

"This, I..." Magistrate Song really didn't know what to say.

Huan's family broke up the marriage for no reason, and then came to insult them, he was indeed deeply resentful.But Mr. Huan really showed great kindness to his family Shi Guaner, and this senior brother also thought of his brotherly love, so he came all the way to apologize...

Song Shi went up and grabbed his father's hand, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Father, Senior Brother Huan and I will go take a bath first, if there's anything we need to clean up, we'll talk about it later."

Except for him as the person who didn't care about the divorce, his father and Senior Brother Huan really cared about it.Instead of letting the two of them get entangled here, it's better to separate them and deal with it coldly, and let him turn around in the middle.

He let go of his father and dragged Huan Ling to the ear room.

A bathtub and hot water had already been prepared there, but he was the only one prepared, and now it was too late to boil the water, so Song Shi ordered someone to bring a clean bathtub first, and the two shared the bucket of hot water for use. Wait for the hot water to boil before continuing.Although their brothers and sisters had never bathed in the same place before, they were all men, and Song Shi hadn't been ruled by the local customs, so it was natural to ask Huan Ling to bathe in the ear room with him.

He had been drenched in the rain for most of the day, and his body was completely frozen. He couldn't wear the wet clothes, so he took them off neatly when he entered the door.

The wet clothes wrapped tightly around his body, almost outlining his figure, but after taking off the clothes, he could see that these fat clothes still covered his figure too much.While in office, he engaged in industrial practice, patrolled the county's public security and agricultural affairs, and had to observe life everywhere in order to write a thesis. He was no longer the frail scholar he was when he was studying in Huan's house——

It's not bragging, but now when he comes across geese while patrolling the countryside, he's the one chasing them.

Can fight!Have muscles!

Although he didn't have many abdominal muscles, there was a thin layer of muscles on his body, the lines were neat and smooth, forming a beautiful fan shape from the shoulders to the waist, and there was absolutely no fat on either side of the waist.He tied a cloth towel around his waist, took off his pants, and stepped into the bucket in a civilized manner, sinking under the hot water that was only half the bucket.

The hot water hit his chest in an instant, warming his icy skin.Only then did Song Shi untie the towel and put it on the side of the bucket, leaning his neck against the wall of the bucket, and sighed contentedly.

Huan Ling, who followed him in, also sighed softly, and asked in a low voice: "Song Sandi, have you been working so hard these past few years? I saw you from the embankment and wanted to say, although the county government is important, you should Take care of your health, don't let Shi Bo worry..."

Listening to his chanting, Song Shi quietly bent his arms in the bathtub, looked at his trembling biceps, and felt that his muscles were quite good, and ordinary scholars couldn't train them like this.He couldn't help but look at Huan Ling again - Brother Huan Xiao was more conservative, he got into the tub in his middle coat, and took off his clothes after he got in, revealing a pair of chest muscles that were thicker than his.

His shoulders are wider than his.

The skeleton is bigger than him.

There are actually well-proportioned muscles on the exposed arms, not to mention how stretched they are, but they still look more mature than him.

But Song Shi can still comfort himself: he hasn't passed puberty yet.After all, senior brother Huan Xiao is a few years older than him and has developed rapidly. When he is also 23, he will probably be able to catch up with this senior brother.

He stared at his muscles patronizingly, but didn't respond for a while.Huan Ling saw that his eyes were straightened, and that his face was flushed by the hot water. He was afraid that he would get sick from the rain, so he didn't care to speak, so he straightened up and leaned against his tub, and reached out to touch his forehead. , shouting in his mouth: "Song third brother? Third brother? Shi Guaner?"

Song Shi suddenly came back to his senses, subconsciously leaned back, stopped his hand, and said "I'm fine".

When Huan Ling put his hand on his palm, he felt that his palm was burning like fire, and he didn't have enough strength to push him away. The whole hand was limp, obviously it looked like it was hot.

He tied the wet clothes around his waist, stepped out of the tub, and involuntarily touched Song Shi's forehead—a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his skin was cooler than his palm, not really hot , It's just that he cares about it and messes it up.

However, the corners of Song Shi's eyes were reddish and his breath was heavy, so he must have suffered from a cold.Later let him drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold, and when the heavy rain stops, then ask someone to go to the nearby drug store to grab some Bupleurum, Fangfeng, Tangerine Peel, Licorice... fry them and ask him to drink a few meals, so as not to leave a hidden danger of wind and cold .
