The young master is suffering

Chapter 20

Wuyang City is upstream of Shuofeng. If the water level of Shuofeng River is too high, Shuofeng will report it to the prefect of Wuyang urgently and take flood prevention measures as soon as possible.At this time, Shuofeng was inaccessible, and there should have been a signal of flooding, and the people had all been transferred.

Light rain unknowingly threaded into strands, crackling and hitting Xiao Ren's oil-paper umbrella, splashing a circle of white water mist on the edge of the umbrella.

Xiao Ren and Meiluo traveled quickly, and they arrived in a few hours after others had to walk for two days.

It's just that the gate of Wuyang City was closed tightly, and there were crowds of people under the city wall, so the two of them were also stopped outside the city.

"What's going on?" The rain was heavy, and Xiao Ren's robe was inevitably splashed with rainwater. He originally wanted to quickly go to the city to find an inn to hide from the rain, but it backfired.So Xiao Ren was very depressed.

"I don't know. I'll ask." Although Mei Luo was wearing a coir raincoat, his condition was not optimistic, and the rain still wet his sleeves.

"Uncle, why are you all here? Why isn't the city gate open?" Mei Luo picked an old man to ask. It seems that the people trapped outside the city are Shuofeng and the surrounding people. Without a tool to cover the rain, the poor can only stand outside in the rain. When there are so many people like this, it is very bleak to look at with wide eyes.

"Shuofengjiang is going to be flooded this year! Don't you guys plan to come to Wuyang City to take refuge? The city gate was opened a few days ago, but recently it is said that a nobleman has come, and the adults in the city are afraid that everyone will collide My lord, don't let everyone enter the city!" The old man was pitiful, looking at the city gate with a sad face.

The continuous rainy days could not maintain the temperature, and people suffering from the cold knocked on the city gate from time to time.Children's cries could be heard from the buzzing voices from time to time, Xiao couldn't help frowning.

Mei Luo looked up at the high city wall, wondering where she could enter the city without anyone noticing, while Xiao Ren stood stiffly in the crowd, refusing to move an inch.

The young master, who is used to being aloof, is unwilling to contact these dirty-looking working people.

"Gululu..." Xiao Ren walked all the way, and didn't like eating on the road, so he tried to eat as little as possible or didn't eat at all. Unexpectedly, seeing that the city gate couldn't get in, his stomach was anxious for him.

"Hee hee, this beautiful brother is hungry!"

Xiao Ren lowered his head, and in front of him was a dark and thin little girl looking up at him. The girl looked seven or eight years old, her childish little face was full of curiosity, and a piece of cake with no discernible material in her hand was soaked by the rain. Confused the girl's hand.

The girl didn't care, she held up the cake like a baby, and said to Xiao Ren happily: "Brother beauty is hungry, eat my cake!"

"No need..." Xiao Ren looked at the grimy little hand, and squeezed out three words from between his teeth.

Not to mention this life, even the next life, the next life, he will not allow this kind of thing to enter his stomach.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Heiya disturbed you!" A dark-skinned man stepped forward and picked up the baby girl, showing his white teeth and apologizing.

"It's okay." Xiao Ren watched as the strong man in front of him carried the baby girl away, and together with his wife, the three of them huddled together under a ragged robe to hide from the rain.

"Let's act at night." Mei Luo, who scouted the terrain, came back and said.It was starting to get dark, and soon it would be night.

"It's not good, the water is coming! The flood is coming!" The person standing on a high place suddenly shouted, as if a huge boulder had been thrown into the already rough river. Everyone looked into the distance and really saw the flood spreading. The coming yellow turbid water, after a moment of silence, the crowd exploded.

Everyone slammed on the city gate desperately, crying for the officers and soldiers in the city to open the door.

"Let's go?" Xiao Ren wondered how the defense in the city was going, whether he and Mei Luo could be found if they went up.

The flood was so fierce that Xiao Ren was not allowed to think back and forth.Mei Luo pulled Xiao Ren up and jumped towards the leverage point he had found in advance.

"Don't dawdle, hurry up!"

Although the city wall is straight up and down, the city gate protrudes from the city wall, and there are many protrusions on the city wall. They can go up easily with all their effort.

There was still a row of officers and soldiers standing on the city wall, as if they did not hear the noise and calls for help outside the city, and watched the flood rolling in from afar with cold eyes.

If Xiao Ren and Mei Luo ran towards the city wall blatantly, they might be shot into a sieve, so the two wanted to drag it until dark, relying on their own kung fu, they stood on the canopy of the tree and looked at the officers and soldiers from afar.

Then, Xiao Ren witnessed how fragile human life is.

"Help, help!" People shouted for help.The water is fierce and the current is fast. People are scared and have nowhere to hide, so they can only hope in the closed city gate.

"Aren't we going to save them?" Xiao Ren asked.

Mei Luo's face was heavy: "How can I save it? Can I save it?" The young man's face was no longer stubborn, but more cruel and indifferent.

Xiao Ren is not a person who acts bravely in the face of righteousness. In his perception, as long as he does not do evil, he is considered to be doing good.

Those who can't swim are quickly swallowed by the flood, and the turbid and muddy water is like a monster that can't eat enough. Those who can swim are constantly sinking and floating in the water, and they probably can't support it.

"Young Master! Young Master, save my child, Young Master!" At some point, the father of the black girl swam over, and the black girl stopped talking at this time, and hugged the big man's neck tightly, with an unsure face on his face. Is it rain or tears.

Xiao Ren lowered his head indifferently, and found that the big man didn't have his wife beside him, probably because he was washed away by the water.

"Young Master, please save my child, please!" The raging flood made the big man heave up and down, as if he couldn't hold on any longer.He had no choice but to hold Hei Ya high and keep Hei Ya away from the water.

"Wooooow, I want mother!" The little girl began to cry, struggling not to let her father send her out.She doesn't understand life and death, she only knows that her father is going to give her away.

"What are you doing?!" Mei Luo stood on the sidelines, never expecting Xiao Ren to jump down suddenly.

Xiao Ren's two lifetimes combined, because of a piece of pancake, it seemed that a conscience suddenly grew out, and a flower called kindness bloomed. He had the kung fu in his body, so he despised the torrent of water, and prepared to go for a ride on the water.

But as soon as he grabbed the little girl's belt, a thick log was swept by the muddy water and rushed towards the strong man.

The tall and burly farmer died under a log just like that.

"Daddy!!" The little girl howled hoarsely, and she bared her teeth and claws to get rid of Xiao Ren.

It was only then that Xiao Ren realized that it was difficult to maintain a chic swim. He hugged the little girl into his arms, trying to calm the little girl down, but the little girl intensified and rubbed his clean clothes with stains.

Xiao Ren regretted it.

"What are you doing? Come up quickly!" Mei Luo urged with a frown.

Xiao Ren didn't want to step on the water anymore, so he waited until a wooden plank came to his feet, and then he stepped on it to use his strength to get back to the canopy of the tree.

It's a pity that Xiao Ren didn't get what he wanted, he only felt his ankles sinking, the board was wet and slippery, and he changed direction halfway through his upward movements.

With a "plop", Xiao Ren fell into the water.

"Second Young Master!" Mei Luo became anxious now.

"I'm fine!" Xiao Ren hugged the baby girl, he pulled out a tree branch in desperation, although he was in the water, he was not washed away.

"We are going to die, and you can't live!" Xiao Ren seemed to have heard such a sentence just now.However, he is in prison now, but his ankles are empty. Most likely he was evil and was taken away by God first.

The little girl was also taken aback. At this time, she only showed her small head on the surface of the water, with a shocked expression on her face.Xiao Ren grabbed the branch with one hand, and hugged her tightly with the other: "Don't move around, do you hear me, or the two of us will drown together?"

Xiao Ren is knowledgeable and talented, but knows nothing about floating water.

The girl was being lectured by Xiao Ren, and it seemed that she just realized it. She wrapped her small arms around Xiao Ren's neck, and nestled her small face in Xiao Ren's neck. The hot tears were diluted by the sewage, but Xiao Ren still felt it.

The girl's cry was very small, murmuring indistinctly and repeatedly: "Daddy, mother..."

In this softness, Xiao Ren thought of his father Xiao Qiannian.

He often had nightmares when he was a child, and Xiao Qiannian hugged him like this, coaxing him over and over again: "Don't be afraid, Ah Ren, Daddy is here."

But Daddy is gone.Whether it was him or the little girl, they were all alone.

"Be careful!" Mei Luo really wanted to find an angle to pull Xiao Ren, but he couldn't find any leverage.

The branch in Xiao Ren's hand was not firm enough, and he quickly surrendered to Xiao Ren. As soon as Mei Luo finished speaking, Xiao Ren lost his balance and was dragged into the flood with the little girl in his arms.

It's over, it's dead again.

Xiao Ren thought to himself.

"Second Young Master!" Mei Luo shouted.His lightness kung fu has not yet reached the peak of perfection, although it is possible to walk on water for a short distance, but in such a ferocious flood, he may be able to try it alone, but he will definitely not be able to save people.

Mei Luo was anxious, and the rain was pouring down, but there was a gust of wind blowing around him, and a green figure quickly passed by him, stepping away from the water as lightly as if his feet were firmly on the ground.

"My lord..." Mei Luo muttered, how long will it take for him to practice such lightness...

Xiao Ren tried his best to get the little girl out of the water, and he himself choked on a few mouthfuls of dirty water, feeling sick and uncomfortable at the same time.But before the ghost messenger came to take care of him, he was dragged out of the muddy water by his collar, and stayed away from the water in a dizzy state.When his sanity returned, he was already standing on the observation deck of the city wall.

"Lord Yuan, don't come here without any harm." Bian Qunhe put Xiao Ren down, and said to the guarding officials.The official immediately waved away the surrounding officers and soldiers, laughed together and said: "It turns out that the shopkeeper is here, and the shopkeeper is very skilled."

"Master Yuan and I go to the city to have a look, don't you mind?" Bian Qunhe also bowed politely, as if he was very familiar with Zhizhou.

"That's natural. Shopkeeper Bian can do as he pleases." Yuan Zhizhou still had to guard the city there, Bian Qunhe just said hello, and led Xiao Ren down the city wall.

"Bian Qunhe..." Xiao Ren was drenched all over, holding the baby girl in his arms in embarrassment.This image is neither chic nor handsome, so he said unreasonably to Bian Qunhe, "Bian Qunhe, why am I so unlucky when you come?"

Bian Qunhe was also drenched by the rain, but his handsome face was not compromised by it. He stopped, his dark eyes were the only stars under the rainy night sky, and he asked back: "Huh? Isn't it you?" If I'm unlucky, will I come?"

Xiao Ren was at a loss for words, and his heart beat two beats faster.He shifted his gaze unnaturally, not wanting to pay attention to Bian Qunhe.He's not in the mood to flirt in this damn weather.

Under the city tower, in order to prevent water from seeping in, the city gate was blocked. A man in official uniform knelt on the ground, knocked on the door while crying, "Open the door, open the door quickly, it's life!"

Xiao Ren couldn't help being curious, what is the origin of this noble man in the city?
