Rain brings not only beautiful scenery, but also disasters.
From Shangjing to Mobei, the mountain is high and the road is far away, and it takes more than a month to go back and forth. Ordinary passenger and freight usually go by water, first to Linhe county and town in Jiangbei, and then change trains and go north.
Jiangbei, Xiushui County, the county magistrate's mansion, the wrinkled magistrate Zhang is lying on the belly of the seventh concubine, eating crystal grapes, and letting the pretty maid squeeze his legs and hammer his shoulders, listening to the beautiful girl first Children sing songs, and plan the future happily.
He has been a parent official in this small county for more than three years, and his term is about to end, but he is a little reluctant to leave this good place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. , at least to the nearby county.
Life is proud to be thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Wine, food, beauty, happy life, nothing more.
Zhang county magistrate shook his head and sighed, put his hand into the beautiful woman's arms, and squeezed it hard, which made her sneer in a low voice, and couldn't help laughing, but in her mind she remembered yesterday that she passed through Xiushui County to Gutuo Mountain and stayed at the inn. Women of that line of officials. It is said that she is the niece of General Bianguan Liu. She is twenty-nine years old, and she looks like a flower and a moon, and she is three points more beautiful than the fairies in the sky. After listening to the mother-in-law who served her, they said that this fairy-like girl was going to go to the Miaolian Temple in Gutuo Mountain to become a nun.
Miaolian Nunnery is a place where noble women became ordained, most of them were concubines who were not favored after the death of their husbands, or girls and wives who had made mistakes, where the ancient Buddhas lived their whole lives.
Why is such a young, beautiful person so miserable
I'm so jealous
If it weren't for the fact that the relationship behind the beauty was too hard to be provoked, he would have to snatch it back and be a bodhisattva offering, holding him in pain every day.
Magistrate Zhang drooled two drops at the thought, but wished he didn't have a chance to attack.
The Bai Shi who served him was a wonderful person. Seeing that he was in a hurry, he immediately flattered and said, "Master, it's not difficult for you to want Miss Liu."
The magistrate Zhang slapped her. If he had just been a jinshi a few decades ago, it would have been fine, but now he is an old man in his fifties, and no matter how narcissistic he is, he will not think that the delicate beauty will take a fancy to him.
Bai Shi smiled and said: Don't you still have a 20-year-old concubine, handsome, free and easy, outstanding talent, not yet married? He was also a scholar a while ago, and Miss Liu is a match made in heaven. It was expected that Miss Liu would be forced to become a monk. If she could win the favor of a handsome man, how could she not be moved
The magistrate of Hu Huazhang reprimanded him severely, but his heart was a little moved. His son-in-law's appearance was really good, his words and actions were very pleasing, and his reputation was very good. Apart from his life, he had no major flaws. Miss Liu had no father or mother. Eighty percent of the time, she was badly brought up, flirtatious, and had bad morals. She was hated by the family, so she was asked to become a monk to atone for her sins. If you let your son come forward to hook up, cheat and marry him into the door, and when the incident happens, the rice is ripe, the beauty is alone in the empty boudoir, and the father-in-law goes to comfort one or two, it is also reasonable.
The magistrate Zhang thought more and more beautiful, as if the beauty had already got hold of him, he hurriedly threw down Bai's fire.
A frantic scream came from outside the door: Master is not good, not good
The magistrate Zhang was extremely angry, jumped up from the bed naked, pushed the maid away, walked out with clothes, kicked the person fiercely, and scolded: "What's wrong, your master is very good."
The yamen who was kicked was surnamed Li. He was a small head in the yamen. He rolled and crawled, ignoring the pain. With mud and rain, he rushed back like sleepwalking. dyke
What the Zhang county magistrate was stunned.
The yamen said incoherently: It rains heavily every day, and the water level of the Mohe River keeps rising. The inspection report a few days ago said that there is a gap in the levee. Sir, you are busy in the house, it doesn’t matter, the embankment will not burst. Today, the embankment of Mohe River collapsed. The river rushed in and rolled up several villages. Lizhuang, Chenzhuang, Mozhuang, and Linzhuang were all flooded. People are swept away, dead, all dead
Die dead, Magistrate Zhang sat on the floor, his face ashen.
The heavy rain in the past few days has completely destroyed the crops that are about to mature.
Although the imperial court issued a tax reduction order, the tax that should be collected is still not much less.
Xiushui County is a major transportation hub, with abundant supplies, but it can't support the soaring food prices, which change three times a day. Refugees from the surrounding towns are gradually pouring in, wandering the streets, begging everywhere, and the law and order is somewhat chaotic.
However, what does this unpredictable natural disaster have to do with the county magistrate who is about to leave office
Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money.
He happily decreed to ask for disaster relief, ready to make another windfall. By the way, let the yamen collect taxes everywhere. Be sure to collect all the owed taxes and fines before he leaves, and turn some of them into the state treasury to make his political achievements perfect, and part of them into the private treasury to keep his wallet bulging.
The yamen officers were full of anger, braved the heavy rain, went to the mountains and the countryside, and looked for money everywhere.
Lizhuang is low-lying and flooded the most, with almost no harvest. They rely on food storage to survive, waiting for disaster relief from the imperial court. Where can there be money to pay for the poll tax? There are big girls and little wives crying everywhere in the village. I couldn't bear it, but I didn't dare to show it on my face. In such a year, if they annoyed the county magistrate, lost their jobs, and the ones crying were their daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, they had to be hard-hearted, scolding and rummaging through boxes and cabinets, catching chickens and beating dogs.
After Li Laosan was smashed into the yard, he stood at the door and yelled, "You bunch of lackeys wagging their tails at the god-killed Zhang Wude.
Li Yashou was furious when he heard this, and was about to go over to kick him and tell him to be honest.
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration under his feet, and there was a sound of thunder on the ground, making his ears buzzing.
He was so frightened that he jumped back two steps, looked nervously at the sky, and muttered in his heart: If Lei Gong wants to hack, then hack Zhang Wude, we are innocent
When the brothers saw his bear-like appearance, they all laughed at him for not having the guts.
The dark sky was as oppressive as a coffin.
He always felt that something was wrong, and looked around a few more times.
He saw the water of the Mohe River like a mad dragon rushing straight forward, and while breathing, it flooded the fields, covered their knees, overturned the ox cart parked at the entrance of the village, and rushed the old cattle of several hundred kilograms into the air, disappearing instantly. Without a trace.
Oh my god, the Mohe has burst its banks, run!
The boundless terror swept everyone's heart, no one cried, scolded, reprimanded, arrogant, and recovered, the mother held the child, the father carried the old man, left the house, property, and used the fastest in this life. Speed, crazy to run high.
Mom, wait, I can't run, Mom, the young child fell to the ground, the childish cry drowned in the screams of despair, and disappeared forever in the flood. Xianggong, you run with the child, don't look back. The woman sprained her ankle and shouted frantically at the man. These were the last words she left in this life.
Compared with the speed of water, the speed of human running is so slow.
Except for the lucky few, death is only a matter of time.
Help
help me
where are you mom and dad
For those who climbed up the house, the roof could not withstand the impact of the water, and quickly collapsed, and those who climbed up the tree were submerged together with the tree. Countless hands floated up and down in the water, struggling, not knowing where to go.
The pretty girls in front of the village, the old-fashioned, strong men, beautiful young women, village folks, sister-in-law and brothers, those who have hatred and relatives, all of them are no longer important. into icy corpses.
The fertile fields, houses, roads, bridges, and rivers have all turned into an ocean.
At last all the cries were silenced except for the birds in the sky, spreading their wings and circling in mid-air, wailing mournfully for their lost nests.
Li Yajian moved the fastest and was lucky enough to grab the horse he was riding when he arrived, left the crowd behind, and ran frantically up the mountain. When the horse was swept away, he had reached a higher position, hugged the tallest tree, held it tightly, held his breath, and after the power of the water flow passed, he quickly climbed to the top of the submerged tree, and finally escaped. Days, after the water level eased, I found a floating wooden basin and ventured to swim back to report.
Thirteen villages were flooded, 6,400 people died and 17,000 were displaced.
Only Xiushui County and several surrounding villages are located in higher places and survived the disaster.
It's over, it's over, Magistrate Zhang seems to be twenty years older, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over. Holding his head, crying until tears flowed out of his nose. He presided over the construction of the levee in Xiushui County, and he filled a lot of personal pockets. A while ago, the yamen came to report that there was a crack in the levee. He was busy trying to make his concubine happy, so he didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, such a catastrophe happened
Master Pu arrived in a hurry, inspected the environment, hurriedly opened a congee field to appease the victims, and then went back to the yamen to see the county magistrate, helped him up and said decisively, "Master County, don't worry.
The magistrate Zhang grabbed him as if he had seen a savior, and cried: "You have the money for repairing the embankment, too. We are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one wants to run away."
Master County, you are overthinking, Master Pu calmly said: Everything in the world has its limits. Xiushui County is located on the riverside, the terrain is not good, it has rained for two months in a row, the water level is too high, and any levee is powerless to return to the sky. How could it be a construction problem
The magistrate Zhang stopped howling when he heard the words, patted his thigh and said, "Yes, there is a lot of water here, and the embankment can't stop the cracks in the cocoa."
Master Pu asked: Who knew there were cracks in the levee
Magistrate Zhang: Several yamen officers who went to inspect.
Master Pu rolled his eyes and asked again: Didn't all the yamen swept away by the water, did the yamen who was left behind were also scared crazy, and the lunatic likes to talk nonsense, county master, you should give some money to comfort him, Let him get well.
It's all those yamen officers who are afraid of taking responsibility, talk nonsense, and confuse this master. They are lazy and neglectful of their duties. When did they report that there were cracks in the levee? Everything is still under control. He walked a few steps in the lobby, suddenly remembered something, and asked, how is the situation at the inn, is Miss Liu Meiliu okay
Master Pu shook his head slightly: The post station is also in a low-lying place, and all the people washed away, I'm afraid it's more fortunate than for luck.
The magistrate Zhang sighed: What a pity for a stunning beauty.
Master Pu asked: Do you want to report General Liu and General Ye? I heard that General Ye is nicknamed the Living King of Hell, if she is angry
County magistrate Zhang Fuxiu said: "When the family members of ridiculous officials came to visit, why would it be my county magistrate's turn to personally receive who knows what kind of girl Liu and Yang have come to the station? It's none of my business. What's more, girl, not to mention that there are no dead or dead now, maybe they will leave early, and they will encounter floods, bandits, and rogues in other counties. How do you know it must be something wrong with me
Master Pu asked cautiously: What does the county magistrate mean
The magistrate Zhang waved his hand impatiently and said: There are disasters everywhere now, the yamen are almost dead, and the affairs are busy. Oops, I don't know if Prime Minister Hu's family was frightened in the city. Come, prepare a sedan chair.
Master Pu understands and obeys.
The way to be an official is to hide
The author has something to say: continue to be cute:
Sometimes I think it's just a plush decoration.
I ran to read the first original article I wrote before, Yiliu Hanchan, and suddenly felt so shy~~
It turns out that I have made so many low-level mistakes in writing.
Because many readers do not like it, oranges can change the word mother, but this word is not because oranges are wrong. In ancient times, there was indeed the name of mother and father.
Because of the baby's oral structure, the word "mother" is a sound that all human beings, including ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, will use in all non-written languages. It is a less formal folk calling method in many places.
The words "parents and fathers" come from oracle bone documents, and the words "parents and mothers" appeared in the Three Kingdoms period at the latest. In the dictionary of the Three Kingdoms period of the Cao Wei period, Guangya. Shiqin has the interpretation of father, father, and mother.
1. The most persuasive: The book of Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, which was popular in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, is based on the Bao Gong case in the Song Dynasty, and the fifty-second chapter was adapted from Longtuerlu: Thanksgiving, Xu marriage, abbot, and many letters
There is such a dialogue in Mrs. Ning:
He was even more surprised to hear that his nephew Deng Jiuru had also died. The magistrate asked: How old is Deng Jiuru? Wu Ping'an said: This year, he is only seven years old. The magistrate said: How could he have died at such a young age? Wu Ping'an said: It was because after burying his mother, he had to be with the villain to have his mother. The villain kicked him for a while, and he died in the mountains.
2. Jin Yong is also considered a master in historical research and language. In his martial arts works, he also uses mothers a lot, such as the Jade Blood Sword, and Wen Qing basically never called her mother, but all called her mother. Ignoring the factor that Jin Yong uses modern language, but in terms of historical period, the background of this novel is the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, nor was it introduced by the New Culture Movement in 1915.
3. Various languages including German, English, and Russian all have the unofficial papa and mama sounds for parents. German belongs to the Germanic language family. Although English has some references to Old German, it still uses more other language families and its own content. From this point of view, mama should be the sound that humans can pronounce.
Anti-pumping
