Chapter 294 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (44)

 After settling the elderly and children in Shanxia Village, setting aside some bamboo charcoal for them to light a fire, and instructing them to use the fire safely, Xu Yin dragged his heavy steps back home.

 “Sister-in-law, are you crying?”

　　Sanmei sensibly twisted a hot towel for her and wiped her face.

Xu Yin wiped her wet face and sniffed: "No, sister-in-law didn't cry, it was rain."

“Sister-in-law, please change out of your wet clothes quickly, you’ll catch a cold.”

“Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Third sister is going to serve you rice.”

“Sister-in-law, are you tired? Third sister will give you a pat on the shoulder.”

Xu Yin's heart was warmed little by little by the Nuonuo voice of her third sister, and the small hands on her shoulders that couldn't hold her in place but were still trying to squeeze her.

 “Thank you, third sister.”

Three sisters poked their little heads out from behind her, with a warm and bright smile: "You're welcome, sister-in-law."

 That night, Xu Yin couldn't fall asleep.

 She thought a lot.

What should we do if the rain keeps falling and the widened river channel cannot carry it, and the river overflows the river embankment and reaches Hope Village? Also go to the back mountain to find a cave? But there are so many caves in the back mountain for them to stay.

And Li Yuanjin... I don’t know how he is doing there.

 Thinking about it until late at night, I finally took a nap.

As if sleeping, she saw Li Yuanjin's handsome face with a mischievous smile and a bit of misery. He said to her, "Take care, ma'am," and then disappeared lightly.

Xu Yin suddenly woke up from her dream. She sat up and held her chest against the dull pain, breathing messily. Cold sweat covered her back vest.

 Is something going to happen to him?

She got up quickly, rolled up a simple bundle, then picked up the third sister together with the quilt, wrapped her in two layers of raincoat, and went to Lihua's house in the rain.

“Aunt, Third Sister, please take care of me. There is dry food for her for the past two days in the bag. I have to go out.”

"Where are you going? It's not daylight yet! It's raining again. Is there anything urgent that you have to leave now? Then I'll call Feng Nian and ask him to go with you?"

Lihua Niang took the third sister and put her back inside Lihua’s bed in the back room, then came out to talk to Xu Yin.

Xu Yin shook her head: "There are always people in the village, so let them pay more attention. I will come back as soon as possible."

 After saying that, I wrapped myself in my raincoat, tied my bamboo hat tightly, and rushed into the vast rain...

 Outside the city of Tongxingfu, it was raining heavily.

 Thanks to precautions, the rivers in several villages have been widened and reinforced.

But after four consecutive days of heavy rain, sometimes torrential rain, the river could no longer hold so much water, and it gradually overflowed the river bank, submerged the crop fields, and poured into people's homes.

Li Yuanjin immediately approached Tongxing Prefecture, hoping that the other party would send a group of people and materials to join forces with the soldiers to fight floods, rescue victims, and reduce losses. However, the prefect said that "there are many cases in the prefecture and they cannot allocate manpower." Prevaricate.

No one is willing to come out, how can we still expect supplies?

“If you don’t want to save people today, no one will save you tomorrow!”

He looked at the magistrate coldly, raised his knife and cut off one side of his temple hair. He was so angry that the magistrate fainted on the spot.

 But there was no one in the government office, and Li Yuanjin had nothing to do.

He took his soldiers with him and moved the affected villagers in batches to caves on the mountain, using land for two people.

There are several families who live in Xishan'ao. The location is remote and the terrain is relatively low. It is impossible to tell which is the road or the river when the water flows.

The soldiers had no choice but to dismantle the wooden wooden doors in the camp and float them on the water to serve as boats to carry them all the way to the rescue.

"Help-"

 “Help—”

Villages who could not swim were holding wooden basins and floating in panic on the water to ask for help.

An inexperienced soldier reached out to pull him up. As a result, the villagers pulled him up, but he himself fell into the water.

 “Ah poof…”

He spat out a mouthful of muddy water, raised his head and wiped his face, only to find that the wooden door had been floated away by the rescued villagers holding on to bamboo poles.

“…” “Little Heizi! Catch it!”

Li Yuanjin saw this scene from a distance, called Xiaobing, and threw a bathtub towards him.

 As a result, the soldier floated in place and did not move.

"What are you doing standing there! Get out of the bath, it's going to float away!"

“General, general.” The soldier’s face turned pale, “My leg is cramped!”

 “Damn it!”

Li Yuanjin jumped into the water and swam toward the soldier. After catching the man, he swam with him for a while and sent him to the wooden door.

 “General…”

 “Can you support a bamboo pole while sitting?”

"able!"

"Well, you go to the front and meet everyone. I'll see if there is anyone else."

After Li Yuanjin finished speaking, he plunged into the turbid water and swam towards the Xishan Col.

 When we arrived, we found that there were still two families trapped in the flood and couldn't get out, one of them was a pregnant woman.

For some reason, he thought of his wife, imagining the scene of her being pregnant with his child and struggling to move around with her big belly, and his heart was severely pinched.

He shook his head, wiped his rain-covered face, dismantled several wooden doors, and helped villagers who couldn't swim up the wooden doors one by one.

The child sat in the tub and was pushed around by his parents who knew how to swim.

After sending these people away, he wanted to go to the village to check if there were any victims left behind. Suddenly, he heard a "boom" and a flash flood broke out.

 The rapid streams carried a large amount of silt and rocks rolling down the mountains, forming rapid floods.

Li Yuanjin secretly thought something was wrong, so he quickly turned around and moved the sandbags blocking the river water to block the direction of the flood, giving the victims who had not yet evacuated time to escape.

 But the flood was so fierce that the stacked sandbags were washed away almost to the point of breaking through.

Li Yuanjin gritted her teeth and held the sandbag on her back, even if it was just to allow the torrent to take a detour and give it a few more breaths of buffering time.

But he had been busy for several days, and he was already exhausted. He could not withstand the devouring force of the mountain torrent with his physical body.

Watching the figures of victims sitting on wooden boards or pushing wooden basins from afar, gradually getting smaller and smaller until they were out of sight, Li Yuanjin's consciousness gradually blurred.

 That's it, he really can't hold it any longer.

Madam...I may fail you in this life...

 “You fool…”

 Before he completely lost consciousness, he seemed to hear his wife sighing with a crying sound.

Xu Yin hugged the man across her waist, looking into the distance with her beautiful eyes to make sure that all the victims had escaped from the Xishan Col. She turned away from the place and climbed up a big tree nearby.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‖

 The floods destroyed sandbag walls, collapsed shackles and mud roofs, and caused big trees to sway faintly.

 The water level rises rapidly like a rising tide until it covers the roofs of houses and submerges short trees.

Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

 Luckily there is a big tree with a thick trunk that requires two or three people to hug him, otherwise he would have to float in the flood with him.

  She has the ability to avoid water. She is like on flat land in the water, but if there are more than one person, she will not be able to use diving.

 He gave the unconscious man two health pills and a few mouthfuls of mountain spring water from the Lingxu Sect.

Took out a thick long-haired bath towel from the system warehouse and stuffed it into his clothes to absorb water, and wrapped him in a military coat. Then she hugged him tightly and probed his forehead from time to time, in case he had a fever.

 Fortunately, this man is a tiger, and his physical condition is extremely good. Not only does he have no fever, but he can also hear slight snoring.

 This is...so tired that you fell asleep?

Xu Yin couldn’t laugh or cry.
