I Became the Heroine of Abusive Novel and Her Elder Brother

    Jun Huailang pushed him several times but didn't push him away.

    He sighed softly, then raised his hand and patted Xue Yan's shoulder.

    The two were so close, he could feel the person hugging him so tightly that he could hear the drum-like heartbeat.

    His arms were shaking, his breathing was trembling, and he was soaking wet. Obviously such a big man, hugging himself tightly, but it was like he was wronged.

    As if it wasn't him who was fierce just now.

      generally.

    "...OK," he said. "fine."

    Xue Yan did not speak, but did not let go.

    Only he knew how dangerous the situation was when he arrived.

    He left the city early in the morning with Duke Yongning and Duan Shishi accompanied him, leaving only a small team of Jinyi guards in the city.

    Not long after leaving the city, the car got stuck on the road outside the city, and the guards were busy pushing the car again. After finally getting back on the road, Jin Yiwei rushed over and said that the dam in the north of the city had collapsed, flooding the small half of the northern part of Jinling.

    Xue Yan knew when he thought about it, there must be something strange about this.

    The dam just happened to collapse when they were not in the city. Although Xue Yan did not understand the engineering and water conservancy, he also knew that Shen Zhifu would not be so unreliable. Among them, someone must have moved his hands and feet behind his back.

    But Xue Yan couldn't care so much, only Jun Huailang was left in his mind.

    Jun Huailang is in the academy, which happens to be in the extreme north of Jinling City. After the dam collapses, there will be floods and there will be refugees, none of them are in the city, only Jun Huailang is there.

    Not waiting for Shen Zhifu and Yongning Gong to make a decision, he got off the carriage and led the Jinyi guards to gallop all the way back to Jinling City.

    He rushed all the way back to the academy.

    From a distance, he saw a large group of people crowding around the entrance of the academy, all of them full of vigor and vitality.

    Xue Yan was only concerned with handing over the situation at the door to Duan Shishi, and before he could reach the academy, he stepped on the back of a horse, flew a few steps over the crowd at the door, and jumped up the wall.

    I saw someone holding a sword and stabbing Jun Huailang.

    That cold light made Xue Yan's eyes flash with pain, leaving his mind blank.

    He just wanted to kill, he wanted to stab the man alive.

    Thinking of this, Xue Yan lightly twitched her nose and hugged Jun Huailang tighter.

    Jun Huailang patted his back lightly.

    Xue Yan just came back to her senses and whispered, "Go home."

    Jun Huailang was puzzled.

    I heard him continue: "Go home and stay, and don't go anywhere. I sent everyone to your yard, and no one can move you."

    Jun Huailang would naturally not listen to him.

    When Xue Yan recovered, he raised his hand and pushed him, separating the two.

    Jinbao, who was standing far away hiding, saw that the two of them had finally finished hugging for a long time, so he held an umbrella with great wink and ran to hand it to his master.

    Why not hold two? Umbrellas, naturally, there are as many as you want, but two good people, why do they have to open umbrellas separately?

    Jinbao handed over the umbrella and said, "Master, the carriage is at the door."

    Xue Yan nodded, and Jinbao quickly retreated.

    "I'll take you home first." Xue Yan opened the umbrella and put it on Jun Huailang's head and said.

    Jun Huailang said: "I still have things to do."

    He has seen this thief today. Since this man was in charge of road construction that day, and today he gathered a crowd to harm people, he must have something to do with the collapse of the dam.

    Even if he didn't do it, if he could arrive at the first time, he must know the inside story.

    Besides, this dam will collapse as soon as it collapses, even the time in the previous life is different. The weather can't be changed, but people can change. If the dam collapses, someone must do it.

    He wants to find evidence and traces.

    Xue Yan asked: "What else?"

    Jun Huailang said truthfully: "There is something strange about the collapse of the dam. I'm going to try the person headed by the first trial."

    Xue Yan said without hesitation, "I'll try."

    Jun Huailang's voice was not loud, but he was extremely firm: "No, there are some things, I must ask him personally."

    Here, he paused and asked, "Is the north of the city flooded?"

    Xue Yan asked: "What do you ask this for?"

    Jun Huailang said: "Before the interrogation, I have to go to the river bank."

    Xue Yan frowned.

    "The dam has collapsed, do you still want to go?"

    Jun Huailang said: "It won't all collapse. The dams are built high and won't be submerged by water, not to mention that this collapse is probably man-made, and the rest of the place is solid. Going at this time is to collect evidence, if the dam is washed for a few more days, I am afraid that there will be erosion and the evidence will be damaged.”

    He needs to confirm the evidence as soon as possible in order to obtain the confession of the thief. After all, the stone evidence won't last long under the scour of the river, but the confession does.

    But I heard Xue Yan say: "Since you think it's man-made, you don't need to investigate. It doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, the trial will do."

    Jun Huailang frowned: "How can this be done? To submit the record of the case to Your Majesty, you must write down the evidence. It is naturally impossible to rely on speculation."

    Xue Yan said, "You're in the rain."

    Jun Huailang was puzzled.

    I heard Xue Yan continue: "You will have a fever. And the dam is not safe, so you are not allowed to go."

    —

    Jun Huailang successfully went to the river bank in the north of the city.

    But in exchange, he had to go back to the mansion and put on a clean robe, and then Xue Yan followed and went together.

    Jun Huailang didn't want to, but Xue Yan was deadlocked with him.

    Jun Huailang has always been unable to resist Xue Yan's rudeness, and finally had to compromise and ride with him, starting from Xichengmen, which was never submerged, and going up the embankment where it was never submerged, all the way to Eastbound.

     Along the way, there were already many displaced people around, carrying rescued luggage, young and old, hiding under the eaves of the roadside.

    In the surrounding heavy rain, mourning cries can be heard.

    Contrary to the fleeing direction of the refugees, a group of officers and soldiers have already headed north. I think they were sent by Shen Zhifu to rescue people. The dam collapsed suddenly, and many people had no time to escape. Now it seems that the casualties are not small.

    Jun Huailang's hand on his knee gradually tightened.

    At this moment, Xue Yan spoke.

    "Jinbao." He said.

    Jinbao outside the car quickly responded: "Master, you ordered."

    "How much idle money is on hand, take it yourself, find Shen Zexun to find an open space in the south of the city, and build tents to accommodate the refugees." He said.

    Jun Huailang was taken aback.

    Shen Zexun is the name of the prefect of Shen.

    He looked at Xue Yan, and saw that Xue Yan was also looking at him.

    Then, his hand on his knee was forcibly pulled up by Xue Yan, breaking apart the clenched fingers one by one.

    "What are you worried about, just say it directly." Xue Yan said lightly. "There's nothing I can't fix."

    Only then did Jun Huailang notice that the palm of his hand had already been crushed by his nails.

    He was speechless.

    The two of them rode the car all the way to the dam from outside the west city. The embankment was built so wide that horses and carts could walk on it. They went all the way east and saw the collapsed place in the distance.

    The embankment is high, and from a distance, you can see a small city that has been submerged into a pool. The houses and pavilions were slightly exposed on the water, and some weak houses were washed away, and various objects floated on the water in a mess.

    In the past life, Jun Huailang only saw a few descriptions of the flood in the archives.

    [Jinling River dam collapsed, damaged half of the city, and displaced tens of thousands of people. 】

    Jun Huailang's lips pursed involuntarily.

    The carriage slowly stopped not far from the gap, Xue Yan got off first and picked up Jun Huailang with an umbrella.

    When they got close, Jun Huailang leaned down and saw the river water rushing through the ruins of the dam.

    Xue Yan pulled him back: "Be careful, don't stand too close."

    Jun Huailang had to step back.

    He looked down carefully, and really saw that the break of the dam was a little strange.

    But the crack in this dam is clearly from the inside out, and there are obvious signs of damage and digging.

    Jun Huailang glanced out.

    The inside of the collapsed place is actually the official road built a few days ago. At this moment, there are still some wood tarpaulins floating on the river, which were not transported away from the road construction site.

    …his guess was right.

    He found a treasure and asked for a pen and paper, so he carefully recorded the damage on the side of the dam, and also drew the pattern of the damage.

    As soon as he got to work, he left everything else behind him. Xue Yan stood quietly beside him, holding an umbrella for him, blocking all the big fish that were pouring out for him.

    It wasn't until Jun Huailang finished drawing the material that he rubbed his sore neck and stood up.

    Only then did he notice that Xue Yan by his side had been standing still. The oil-paper umbrella was thrown over his head, but half of Xue Yan's shoulders were soaked wet.

    "You..."

    Not waiting for Jun Huailang to speak, Xue Yan first naturally took the blueprint in his hand.

    "Done?" he asked. "Get in the car when you're done."

    As he spoke, he led Jun Huailang to the car.

    Jun Huailang followed him into the car, and as soon as he opened the curtain, he felt the warmth and the aroma of tea coming from the car.

    Jinbao, who had a curtain next to him, added oil and vinegar: "His Royal Highness, I don't know, just now, the prince ordered the servants to cook tea to warm the body, because I was afraid that His Royal Highness was cold!"

    Xue Yan glanced at Jinbao, Jinbao lowered the curtain of the car knowingly, and retired.

    Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan, saw him sit down nonchalantly, and started pouring tea for him.

    The small tea stove smoked out the warm heat, which warmed Jun Huailang's frozen bones little by little.

    It also made his heart shake uncontrollably, shaking badly.

    Jun Huailang spoke involuntarily, as if blaming himself, and said softly: "...I can't be with you."

    Xue Yan looked up at him.

    The next moment, the warm tea cup was placed by his hand.

    "I forced you to be with me?" Xue Yan slowly leaned back, raised one side of his lips, and said.

    "I didn't let you be with me, let you drink tea."
