When the people on the side found out, they quickly stepped forward to fish Huang Liqing out of the water: "Huang County Magistrate? Huang County Magistrate?!"

"Come here quickly, Magistrate Huang has fainted!" "Magistrate Huang has fainted!"

The people came over one after another and carried Huang Liqing to the shore. Only then did everyone realize that Huang Liqing's face was pale, and his abdomen and legs were full of wounds, which were obviously scratched by the gravel and branches mixed in the flood.

But Huang Liqing didn't say a word, he was standing in the front.

The doctor hurried over, washed Huang Liqing's wound, applied herbal medicine, and then sent him to a high ground to rest. At this time, the captain took over the command responsibility: "Huang County Magistrate fainted, and I, Wang, am the supreme commander."

"Listen guys, it's time to take a break. Take advantage of the wind and rain to pass and repair the river embankment as soon as possible."

The soldiers and villagers did not complain, nor did they ask when to rest or when to eat. Everyone silently filled the river embankment and repaired the leaks.

Zhang Haogu, Zhu Youxiao and Huang Zongxi were also among them. At this time, their bodies and faces were covered with mud and dirt, and their legs and hands were covered with scratches. But who cares about this now?

After the flood peak passed, everyone held their breath and took the opportunity to repair the river embankment. Under the command of Captain Wang, the river embankment was repaired and restored bit by bit.

At this time, the women, the old and the weak had already set up a big pot to cook porridge. In order to make everyone strong, the porridge contained not only vegetables but also meat.

A bowl full of rice porridge full of vegetable leaves and minced meat, plus steaming potatoes, sweet potatoes, pancakes, and steamed buns. They were all ordinary meals, but everyone ate them extraordinarily sweetly.

Not to mention the food and treatment for the officers and soldiers of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, the dignified Emperor and the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, the food and treatment were of the highest standard. What delicacies have you not eaten?

But now, Zhu Youxiao was squatting on the river embankment, holding a bowl full of Huhu porridge with minced wild vegetables and minced meat, and regardless of his dirty hands, he was holding a steamed bun made of corn, wild vegetables, and beans.

Imageless, gobbled.

Eunuch Wei looked at Zhu Youxiao distressedly, and when the people around him were not paying attention, he quietly stuffed a piece of meat jerky to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, please eat this."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up when he saw the breasts, but then he shook his head: "No, everyone is like this now, and I can't be an exception."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked at the meat, took a bite of the steamed bun, and took a sip of the porridge: "This is good, I'm full."

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei burst into tears of distress.

He has taken care of Zhu Youxiao since he was a child. Although he is the master and he is the slave, the relationship lies here. How has Zhu Youxiao, who has been pampered since childhood, ever suffered like this?

When the torrents came one after another, Eunuch Wei's heart was in his throat, he was afraid that if something happened to Zhu Youxiao, he would really be blamed for his death.

Fortunately, God still blessed Ming Dynasty and did not let Zhu Youxiao have any accidents.

As night fell, good news also came. The floods were showing signs of receding, and County Magistrate Huang Liqing woke up.

Huang Liqing looked at the repaired river embankment and said to the people who gathered around to greet them: "Thank you, fellow villagers, for your hard work."

A woman shouted: "Magistrate Huang, what are you doing?"

"In the past few years you have been in Xingyang, what kind of life have we people lived? We know in our hearts that this is all your fault. Xingyang is in trouble. You have been on the river embankment and have never come down. Everyone is watching.

In my eyes, if you want to thank me, it’s a big thank you.”

An old man also said: "Yes, Magistrate Huang, you are a rare honest and good official. It is a blessing for the people of Xingyang to have you. We have to thank you, Magistrate Huang."

Someone else shouted: "Magistrate Huang, we believe you and are willing to follow you. Why are we talking about this?"

"That's right, aren't we all protecting our own homes? If we don't contribute, who will?" "Magistrate Huang, you have done a good job. We all have to thank you."

"Are you hungry, Magistrate Huang? I've left some food for you."

"Don't worry, County Magistrate Huang. With you here, we will definitely be able to build a better place in Xingyang!"

Looking at the well-meaning people around him, Huang Liqing's eyes were full of tears. They all said that the people were untouchables and mud-legged people. They didn't know a word, didn't know kindness and etiquette, didn't know how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and were full of their own little calculations.

But when disaster strikes, the performance of these people is a thousand or ten thousand times better than those hypocrites who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and those Confucian scholars who talk about the scriptures of saints and keep silent about party disputes!
