Chapter 57: pretend
Chapter 57 Pretending
Cui Lingyi and the others took the first step, and Bai Wutong and the others did not delay.
After walking for a while, the autumn rain came crashing down again.
There was no place to stay nearby, and Bai Wutong and the others had to brave the heavy rain to move forward.
Fortunately, everyone has been used to the weather in Jiangyuan City where it may rain at any time, so they immediately put on waterproof jackets and moved forward step by step.
Bai Wutong stepped on the muddy ground and finally knew why so many people died in the boundary of Jiangyuan City after the flood last year.
It is very unfortunate to encounter a flood. After the flood, the heavy rain continued to fall, and the people did not even have a chance to recuperate, so how could they survive.
If there are people like Yu in this era, it would be great to solve the source of the flood in Jiangyuan City.
The rain stopped, and it was less than thirty miles away from Jiangyuan City. Before everyone could be happy, the surrounding area of Jiangyuan City was flooded into islands.
Bai Wutong and the others stood on a small hill. At first glance, there was endless water in front, and on the side was the densely packed tents where King Ping supported the 200,000 soldiers and horses of Fengming City and Jiangyuan City.
The army can't get through, so naturally they don't even think about getting through.
Bai Wutong frowned, and Lin Yue said, "Madam, we can make a raft over there."
Bai Wutong shook his head, "Look at how many trees there are around here, and look at how many people we have. The army has not been able to pass, so let's just wait, the water level over there is about to recede."
Lin Yue looked around, it was true, he said, "Then let's find a place to stay first."
It’s too dangerous to be too close to the army. Bai Wutong and the others walked upstream along the curved flood for almost an hour before they found a relatively hidden place.
Suddenly, a man holding a driftwood quickly floated from the flood. Bai Wutong and the others fixed their eyes and said, "Good guy, isn't this the blue wood in Cui Muzhi's mouth?"
He kept drifting down, and he was about to rush down the rapids.
Bai Wutong tied a floating ring with rope and threw it towards him.
Lan Jingbai also saw them, grabbed the rope decisively, and was pulled ashore by Zhao Pengfei alone.
Lan Jingbai went ashore, stared at the floating ring, suddenly raised his head, and pleaded with Bai Wutong, "Mrs. Bai, can I borrow your floating ring and rope?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wutong didn't respond, and Cui Muzhi, who was looking for the direction Lan Jingbai floated down from, came running.
He quickly ran to the drenched Lan Jingbai, took off his coat and put it on Lan Jingbai, and asked worriedly, "Lan Mu, are you alright?"
Lan Jingbai glanced at the coat on his body and tore it off with his hands, wanting to return it to him, "I'm fine, it was Mrs. Bai who saved me."
Cui Muzhi held his hand firmly, "Put it on." He gave Bai Wutong a very solemn gift, "Thank you, Madam for saving Jingbai." Bai Wutong and the others first rescued Cui Lingyi and Wang Ma, and now For Lan Jingbai, Cui Muzhi was so grateful, the vocabulary accumulated over the years of reading was lacking.
Bai Wutong gave him a false help and asked, "Why are you here? Where's your sister?"
Cui Muzhi immediately said dejectedly: "She tried to save my cousin and the villagers in front of her, but she was shocked that she couldn't make it to the other side. Instead, she was washed down by the flood, so I took someone to chase it down." It was really dangerous just now. , he almost thought that Lan Mu was going to die, and seeing that he was safe and sound, he still had lingering fears.
Bai Wutong immediately understood why Lan Jingbai wanted to borrow their floating ring and rope.
They walked upstream with Cui Muzhi for a while, when they saw a group of people looking at them in horror on the roof of a house opposite the flood.
Cui Lingyi looked at the flood and frowned. Several people tried to get into the water and failed. If they waited a while, the house would collapse after being soaked for a long time. Besides her father and the others, there were so many trapped villagers. Cui Lingyi forced He calmed down and wanted someone to make a raft, but he quickly denied it in his mind. The raft was useless in such a fast flood.
Bai Wutong and the others suddenly appeared, and Cui Lingyi immediately remembered the scene where the bandits and Wang Ma fell into the swamp river that day.
Rescue is the most important thing. She didn't care about the greetings, and asked Bai Wutong eagerly: "Little Phoenix, can you borrow the floating ring you use, and when my father and the others are rescued, I will give it back to you."
White Indus has already been prepared, and there is not much to say, "You can use it, we will build a shed over there for the night."
Cui Lingyi hugged her excitedly, "Thank you little Phoenix, we'll have a drink when I save my father."
Bai Wutong glanced at Chu Tianbao, who had a sullen face and a sullen face. If you dare to drink, then you are not a good lady. He smiled and said, "It's important to save people."
When Cui Lingyi heard this, she immediately released Bai Wutong and organized Lan Jingbai to lead people to rescue Prime Minister Cui and the villagers.
Bai Wutong and the others had long and strong ropes. Cui Lingyi asked them to wear floating rings, tie the ropes to their bodies, and tie some big rocks to the ropes to prevent them from getting into the water and losing weight.
Cui Lingyi looked at the row of sturdy trees on the opposite side, and said to Lan Jingbai: "You take the lead and tie three ropes in a row, and then let my father and the villagers come down from the roof and put on floating rings to hold the ropes. Evacuate here a little bit lower."
With Bai Wutong and their floating rings and ropes, Lan Jingbai successfully reached the opposite side of the flood.
The villagers cheered excitedly, and quickly said to Cui Shize: "Sir, they are here to save us!" If Cui Lingyi had not calmed their emotions in time, they would have collapsed long ago.
At this time, Cui Shize couldn't help showing a relaxed smile, and said to the villagers: "The elders are orderly, everyone, don't grab it, go down from the roof one by one, and prepare to go ashore."
As soon as these words came out, the officials in charge of detaining Cui Shi Ze were not happy. "We should go first anyway. Who knows if we will be left behind." However, they only dared to whisper, who asked to come and save people. The person is Cui Shi Ze's daughter.
If it wasn't for Cui Shize, they would have no chance to be rescued. The grateful villagers of Luoyu Village quickly said, "Gentlemen, let's go first, we will follow."
The disciples who were demoted together with Cui Shi Ze also advised him: "Yes, teacher, you go first." What if the rope is not strong and breaks.
Cui Shi Ze shook his head and made up his mind, "The villagers go first, I'll be the last."
When disaster strikes, Cui Shize can do this for the common people, how noble and selfless it is!
His disciples also resolutely said, "We advance and retreat together with the teacher, as they did in the past, begging the emperor to reform."
The villagers were moved to tears. If they can kowtow, they must give Cui Shize a good kowtow.
The yamen pouted and whispered, "Do your best to pretend." If it wasn't for Cui Shize to remind the villagers of the torrent, how could they be trapped here.
