A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 842 No Hesitation
The voice was menacing, approaching at a very fast speed.

The muddy yellow river flowed into the town along the river course.

The river in the town has been sluggish during the day due to the embankment at the upper reaches, and the muddy sediment has gradually settled down and started to become clear; but now with the new momentum of the flood discharge, the river suddenly become surging.

It's just that the upstream controls the amount of water, and no matter how rampant the flood is, it is limited to the river.It was far worse than the previous flood that burst the embankment and flooded the entire town.

As long as the townspeople stay out of the river, there is no danger.

When the river flooded in, the townspeople were still shouting loudly: "The water is coming! The water is coming! Get out of the way! Stay away from the shore!"

Qiu Ke and Anan looked back, only to see turbid waves roaring in, immediately boiling the entire river.

The sound of water almost covered the voices and shouts of people.

However, before he had gone far, Qiu Ke vaguely heard screaming and crying in the sound of water waves. He stopped and looked sideways, and saw that there was something floating in the fierce waves in the river. Undulations.

Anan's eyes are good, he pointed at the middle of the river and said in surprise, "Big brother, that's a person!"

Qiu Ke saw that the person struggling in the river was indeed a person, and it was still a child!
The child was ups and downs, waving his hands, being submerged by the waves, and struggling to rise up again, crying intermittently.

On the opposite bank, a woman was chasing after her, crying heartbreakingly and stumbling as she ran.

If the townspeople hadn't stopped her, she might have jumped into the river immediately to save her child.

But in such a dangerous situation, even if you jump down, you may not be able to save it, and you may lose your life in vain.

At this time, a strong soldier ran up, quickly removed the armor on his body, and then jumped into the river without hesitation, swimming hard by himself while being rushed forward, a little bit Get close to that kid.

Even across a river, Qiu Ke could see clearly that it was his direct soldiers who jumped into the river to save people.

The soldiers quickly caught up with the child, and after struggling for a while in the river, unable to find anything to hold on to, they drifted with the current.

The townspeople by the river hurriedly searched for long poles everywhere, but the long poles they found couldn't reach the adults and the child in the river.

"Big brother!"

Anan was released by Qiu Ke, and his hand was empty.

Qiu Ke quickly swept forward along the river, without turning her head, she said in a solemn voice, "Stay well!"

When he passed by the houses of the common people, he saw a bundle of straw ropes hanging on the wall, and he immediately stepped forward to pull it, and ran forward along the river bank. He swung the straw rope around a tree trunk by the river, threw the other end of the rope into the river, and shouted, "This way!"

Qiu Ke and his soldiers are brothers and sisters on weekdays, and they have a deep relationship.They all believed in him.

The soldier heard Qiu Ke's voice, looked this way, his face was happy, he immediately raised his arms and grabbed the grass rope, and fought against the current to approach the river bank.

However, it was too late to climb up the rope, and then found that the rope could not bear such a large weight and the impact of the river.

The soldiers immediately handed the child to Qiu Ke first.

As soon as Qiu Ke received the child, the grass rope snapped.With sharp eyes and quick hands, he immediately leaned out and grabbed the soldier's hand.

The townspeople and a few soldiers gathered on the opposite river bank.But Qiu Ke's side is just a back street. After nightfall, everyone stays away from the river, so there are no other helpers in this back street except him and Anan.

Anan was too young to do anything, so he could only help take care of the child.

The townspeople and soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Qiu Ke rescued the child and captured the adults across the river.

Immediately, everyone hurried around to help on the other side of the river.

With the strength of his hands, the soldiers were also struggling to climb up the wet river wall in two steps.

But just at this moment, Qiu Ke felt that his feet were obviously loose.He looked down and saw that he was stepping on the edge of the river bank, but the stone bank built by the river was about years old, and after he stepped on it so hard, it was loose and cracked.

Immediately afterwards, the edge of the stone bank cracked and fell, and before the soldiers had time to get ashore, their expressions changed drastically, and they were about to break away from Qiu Ke's hand immediately.

It's just that Qiu Ke didn't let go.

"Let go, little general!"

At that critical moment, with a fixed expression, he was extremely serious, and he forced his own soldiers up without any hesitation.

The stone bank limped a corner in response.

And he himself lost the best time to retreat, and he had to rely on his feet when pulling people up, and the stones on the edge loosened and cracked faster.

So just a moment before he forcefully pulled him up and threw him aside, his whole body had already fallen out correspondingly.

As soon as the personal soldier landed, the sound of him falling into the water was heard at the same time.

"Little General—"

The raging flood came one after another, roaring in the river.

Further on, the river course extends out of the town.

Ahead is the darkness of night.

***
A sound of thunder that alternates between spring and summer rolls out, like the sound of a distant bell, spreading into people's sleep.

Ming Yanjun opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up from the couch.

There are some bamboo shadows shaking on the window screen, and the bamboo leaves are rustling.

After a while, there was the sound of fine rain outside.

Ming Yanjun stood up, opened the door, and looked up to see a night rain coming unexpectedly.The lights in the porch were flickering and flickering.

The servant girl Lian Xin heard the movement, and when she came out of the room, she saw Mr. Ming Yan standing under the eaves, reaching out to pick up the rainwater dripping from the eaves.

The rain was cool and cool, splashing in the palm of her hand.

The expression on Ming Yanjun's face was quiet and thin.

Lian Xin asked: "Miss, was woken up by thunder?"

Ming Yanjun nodded, and said: "Well, suddenly I can't sleep."

Lian Xin took a coat from the house, put it on Ming Yanjun, and said: "Miss, this is still very long."

Lord Mingyan said: "Don't worry about me, you can go back to sleep."

Lian Xin didn't move, and stood by her side stubbornly.

Ming Yanjun stood for a while, then turned around and went back to the room.

She lay back on the couch again, listening to the drizzle outside, no longer sleepy.

My heart skipped a beat.She reached out to touch her heart, still unable to calm down.

She suddenly thought of Qiu Ke.

***
The next day dawned and the rain stopped.

The fortifications on the west side of the capital have basically been repaired, the problem of river backflow has been greatly resolved, and the water volume of the moat has not increased as much as before.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry in charge of this fortification silently wiped away a cold sweat.Finally, there was no danger, and no serious consequences were caused.

Next, the imperial court allocated money to appease the people in Xicheng and help them rebuild their houses.
