784 Putting the Account on Chu Yunxiao (2 More)
Kong Qing realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately sent someone to stare at it.
Song Wanyue hugged Xiaobao and sat on his lap, picked up a piece of snack from the plate for him, and looked at the old man, "Does my great-grandfather remember how many years have there been no flood in Jinling?"
"It's been about twenty years."
The old man narrowed his eyes and thought about what happened back then, "There was only flooding in the first year when I came to Jinling. It is said that a lot of fertile land was flooded, and the people had no harvest, and almost caused an uprising. The court asked the local government to open warehouses and release grain. By the way, the current emperor, the prince at that time, was also the Jinling sent by that time."
As he said this, the old man suddenly looked at her, "You think..."
Song Wanyue looked at the heavy rain outside and frowned, "The rain this year is too abnormal. It would be fine if the upstream canal was unblocked. If not, there would be some flooding in a few days."
The old man felt nervous. From ancient times to the present, both the people and the emperor were afraid of such natural disasters, because once they occurred, the consequences would not be controlled by manpower.
He also turned around and looked at the heavy rain outside, hoping that he would not fall again.
God seemed to know his expectations, and after another day, the rain gradually became lighter.
Kong Qing, who had personally visited the water level, came back, walked to the corridor, took off his straw raincoat, and walked in, revealing the first smile he had experienced these days, "It has been slowed down."
"how?"
The old man asked a little anxiously.
"It's been five inches more, but it's okay."
It rose by five inches a day, and it seems that there are indeed areas where the upstream canal is not cleared.
This place can't be stayed for the time being.
The old man looked at Song Wanyue.
Song Wanyue thought of this, nodded slightly, looked at Kong Qing, and said calmly, "Brother-in-law, it seems that it is inevitable to rain this year. You will be trapped at home and cannot participate in the workshop. Why not follow us to the city, so you don't have to run away all day long."
Kong Qing has been thinking about this for the past few days. He originally thought it would be inappropriate to get 20% of the profits in vain. If he couldn't get through the gap, it would be too dissatisfaction.
"It's OK. After the rain has completely stopped, I will follow you to the city first, go buy a small house, and then take the wife and Xiaobao over."
"No need to be so troublesome."
Meng Cheng said, "There are still several idle houses in the mansion, and people have been cleaning them all the time. My brother-in-law and second sister can take Xiaobao to live in at any time."
After staying in this row for so many days, Meng Cheng and everyone became completely familiar with each other, so they followed Song Wanyue's name and called Kong Qing and Gu Wen "brother-in-law and second sister".
Kong Qing wanted to refuse. He had the money in his hand and could buy it at any time, so he didn't have to live in the Meng family's house. However, Song Wanyue spoke first, "That's all. After my cousin returned, he said to his uncle and grandfather and chose one close to the workshop."
"good."
Kong Qing doesn’t know what to say.
Another day passed, and the sky was completely clear. Everyone who had been stuck in the room for several days came out one after another, breathing the fresh air.
Song Lin even came to the old man with a fishing rod with great enthusiasm, "Grandfather, go fishing."
The old man looked at Song Wanyue.
Although they agreed to leave after the rain stopped, it was already afternoon and it was not easy to walk on the road, so it would be better to stay for another night.
After understanding what he saw, Song Wanyue was amused and crying, "It just rained, and the shore must be very slippery..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Lin, "Don't worry, Yue'er, we will be careful, we will be far away from the river."
The old man nodded like a child and agreed.
Song Wanyue held his forehead.
When the old man saw that there was a door, he immediately winked at Song Lin. Song Lin gave Xu Liang the fishing rod and helped him out, "Yue'er, let's catch a few big ones, and you can cook them for us to eat in the evening."
After the words were finished, the two of them had already left the door. Song Wanyue had no choice but to instruct Xu Liang to follow the two, and asked Kong Qing to send a few servants to follow him.
After arranging all this, she looked at Meng Cheng, "Cousin, let's go out for a walk, too."
Kong Qing happened to come over with Xiaobao in his arms, and heard her words, "I'll take you there."
"OK."
Song Wanyue stepped forward to pick up Xiaobao.
The road outside was slippery, and Kong Qing didn't want her to hug her, but Xiaobao had already opened his hand and leaned over. Kong Qing could only protect Song Wanyue and Meng Cheng, left and right, and came outside.
There was only one family at the foot of the mountain, but there were many roads leading to the top and the distance. Kong Qing led them to the smoothest road and pointed to the distance, "That was the family closest to us."
Song Wanyue looked over and found that it was three or four miles long. She thought that Gu Yi had chosen this place for them, and that she should have been trying to isolate them from the world and could not hear the news outside.
"When we first came, your second sister and I were very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep at night. At that time, we thought about buying a house in the city, but someone came out of nowhere and said that we were allowed to live here for our own good. Once we live in the city, there would be danger."
Someone comes out?
Song Wanyue's heart moved.
Thinking of the anger and depression during those days, Kong Qing let out a deep breath, "It's also a blessing that we didn't live in the city."
If you go there, you will definitely hear the news that the Gu family was destroyed. Even if you lose your life, Wen'er will find a way to go back.
“Everything…”
Before he finished speaking, Song Wanyue suddenly slid under her feet, and her body fell to one side, and the little treasure in her arms also "flyed" out.
Kong Qing and Meng Cheng, who were following aside, were shocked. One reached out to save the child and the other helped her.
But Xiaobao flew out too quickly, Kong Qing took a step slower. Seeing Xiaobao falling to the ground, a figure suddenly popped out from somewhere and rushed to the front of several people.
Before he could touch Xiaobao, Song Wanyue had already carried Xiaobao back to her arms steadily.
The person who came was stunned and realized something in an instant, turned around and rushed up the mountain.
Song Wanyue stuffed Xiaobao into Kong Qing's arms, jumped up and chased after him.
Kong Qing stared blankly at the two figures getting farther and farther away and couldn't react, but subconsciously hugged Xiaobao tightly.
Meng Cheng reacted and immediately chased after him, but he didn't know how to do martial arts and the mountain road slipped again. After chasing him for a while, he lost the traces of the two of them.
"stop!"
When he reached the mountain, Song Wanyue spoke.
The person in front seemed to hesitate for a moment, and there was a moment of pause under his feet, but it was only a moment, and the speed of jumping faster after a moment passed.
Song Wanyue stopped chasing him and stopped in place. A gloomy voice clearly reached the ears of the person in front of him, "If you run again, when I see Chu Yunxiao, I will take this account on him."
The person in front of him happened to land on the top of a tree. Hearing this, his feet became soft and he almost fell down.
