The two were resting in the cave.
When Xu Zhen was awakened by the sound of rain, she touched the clothes on her body, and suddenly found that she had changed into a clean skirt at some point.
Probably the little beggar helped change it, could it be the stolen clothes again
She looked left and right for the little beggar.
Seeing the shadow, he leaned over.
On rainy nights, the body temperature of a little beggar who knows martial arts is always a little higher than that of ordinary people, like a heater. Xu Zhen rubbed her arms, slipped into the little beggar's arms, and fell asleep very comfortably.
The torrential rain continued, and after an unknown period of time, the twilight finally penetrated the clouds and slowly shone on the ground.
Xu Zhen opened her eyes to see the scene outside the cave, and saw the collapsed trees and fallen leaves all over the ground, and finally remembered the unsafe people in Chang'an City!
She ran out quickly.
After landing, she sprained her ankle yesterday and it hurts a lot, but she still tried her best to run outside.
There was a coir raincoat by the door, and Xu Zhen wanted to pick it up and put it on.
As soon as she bent down, a warm arm embraced her, pulling her into her fiery chest.
Xu Zhen was taken aback.
She leaned on this piece of chest and looked up, and saw a strange yet familiar face. The person hugging her was tall and thin, with black hair hanging by the ears, fair skin, a straight nose bridge, slightly sunken cheeks, and eyes like The sea is as deep as the bottomless, very beautiful.
Xu Zhen looked at it for a while, then asked cautiously, "Little beggar?"
Xun Qianchun nodded calmly.
Xu Zhen was a little surprised: "You, why are you taller than I imagined???"
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen also looked at her with disbelief in her eyes.
After a while, Xun Qianchun laughed softly, and she said: "These days, it's a little higher again."
Xu Zhen accepted this explanation in a daze.
Xun Qianchun hugged Xu Zhen and walked to the straw inside, landed on one knee, reached out and took out a water bottle from inside and handed it to Xu Zhen for her to drink.
Xu Zhen took a sip, and suddenly remembered that she still had to save the country and the people, she hurriedly supported the little beggar's shoulders and got up and said, "I want to go back to the city!"
Xun Qianchun shook his head: "It's raining heavily."
Xu Zhen stuffed the water bottle into Xun Qianchun's arms: "I'll go and have a look. I'll just stand on the top of the mountain and watch. If everyone is safe, I'll come back. You wait for me here!"
After speaking, he immediately got up and prepared to leave.
Xun Qianchun grabbed Xu Zhen's hand again. The palm of this hand was very hot, as if it was on fire, and the flames burned onto Xu Zhen's arm layer by layer.
Xu Zhen was in a hurry: "Let go, I'll be right back, just wait for me here."
Xun Qianchun looked straight at her without speaking.
Xu Zhen said, "I really want to see it."
Xun Qianchun frowned and said, "I'll take you there."
Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment.
Xun Qianchun said: "You don't know the way."
After speaking, he picked up Xu Zhen, went to the door, picked up the coir raincoat and put it on Xu Zhen, and then ran all the way to the top of the mountain against the wind and rain.
In the torrential rain, Xun Qianchun's clothes and hair were quickly wet. She was taller than before, her shoulders were wider than before, and because she practiced martial arts, she hugged Xu Zhen very easily. Her embrace was so warm that Xu Zhen almost fell asleep comfortably.
But the situation in front of her soon made Xu Zhen unable to feel comfortable.
Because the further south you go, the more violent the rainstorm, the louder the thunder, the rumble is endless, the sound of the waves seems to be ringing in your ears, and the mighty tide in the distance is connected into a white line.
Xun Qianchun carried Xu Zhen to the top of the mountain.
The two looked down and saw the vermilion city of Chang'an at the foot of the mountain, with thousands of horses galloping towards the gate of the city.
When the thunder stopped for a while, screams could be heard screaming!
There are people who escaped from the top of the mountain.
Xu Zhen hurriedly jumped out of the beggar's arms, ran to those people and asked, "Are there many people in the city who haven't escaped yet?!"
"A lot, a lot!!" Those people shouted in the rain, "It's raining, fortunately, there are officials to help!!"
Xu Zhen asked: "The guards are already helping??"
"Yes!!" Those people shouted, "Blocking the embankment!!"
Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't bear to see the miserable situation below, so she continued to go down to help.
Xun Qianchun followed behind.
Seeing many people running towards the city wall along the road, Xu Zhen shouted at them: "Run higher!! It's not safe here!"
There are also old people floating on the water below.
Xu Zhen threw the rope to a few people, and called for help from someone who was free nearby, and everyone stepped on the dirt and pulled it up vigorously.
Xun Qianchun pulled the rope together from behind, pulling the person in the water up with difficulty.
Xu Zhen was still busy, so she ran to the side to pick up wood.
Xun Qianchun wanted to go there too, and after taking two steps, he heard cries for help behind him mixed with the roar of the wind and the sound of the waves.
She looked back and found that it was Xie Guang from the academy.
Xie Guang splashed about in the water with his eyes closed, swallowed several saliva and shouted, "Help, save me!"
Xun Qianchun squatted down, picked up a tree trunk and threw it in front of this person, then ran to catch up with Xu Zhen.
The wind and rain blurred her appearance, but some people still saw Xun Qianchun's appearance clearly. The expressions of this group of people who were originally grateful changed, and they whispered to each other: "There is a barbarian."
"It's a fool."
"Stay away from her."
It didn't take long for the word to spread.
Xu Zhen gradually became empty, leaving only her and the little beggar. She wanted to call for help, but no one helped her, which made her a little helpless.
Another tide is about to rush in.
Xu Zhen's figure was almost submerged by the tide, but luckily Xun Qianchun helped her.
She sat on the side, gasping for breath, feeling that she didn't need to work so hard.
She thought about why she was desperate.
Probably because he wants to earn 50,000 merit points so that the little beggar can spend his life happily.
It's just that earning merit points like this is still too tiring.
Xu Zhen felt like giving up.
She got up, ready to go back along the road with Xiao Ming.
At this moment, three or four teenagers came running nearby, and these people shouted loudly: "Hey! Hey!!"
Xu Zhen looked around, through the white rain curtain, trying to identify who was shouting, and finally found out with difficulty that these people were kicking Cuju earlier.
She didn't have the energy to say hello.
These few people came over by themselves and shouted: "Why are you a day laborer showing your prestige here!"
"The students of our Hongdu Academy are going to be compared to a day laborer like you!!"
"You'd better stand aside and let us come!"
Xu Zhen was stunned for a while.
Those few people shouted: "What do you want us to do, just tell us!"
Xu Zhen was slightly moved, and her spirits were lifted a lot.
She thought for a while, pointed to the river and said, "There are still many people there! Take a rope to pull it up!! Try not to go up the mountain, there may be mudslides in a while!!"
Several Cuju teenagers followed orders and shouted: "Got it!"
After finishing speaking, he left holding the wood and the rope.
The river and the sea are rolling, and the sky is gray.
Xu Zhen gritted her teeth and climbed to the top of the wall, and ran along the roof to the guards. The guards in the palace carried a lot of soil bags to fill the embankment, but it was like a drop in the ocean, to no avail.
Fortunately, due to the early order of the Holy Majesty, the river embankment has been repaired and stopped a lot of water flow.
Seeing that the group of guards was about to be submerged, Xu Zhen hurriedly reminded: "You save people first!! Bring people to evacuate first!! It's too late here!"
The guards in dark blue armor didn't listen. They only listened to His Majesty. Yesterday His Majesty asked them to guard the embankment. Even if they died, they could only die by the embankment.
Seeing that it was useless, Xu Zhen had no choice but to continue to save people. She dragged several people with great effort, and she was so tired that she was almost exhausted.
When the rain hit her, she wiped her eyes and looked back, only then did she see that the little beggar had been following her and exerting all her strength.
Xu Zhen's eyes immediately turned red.
She grabbed Xun Qianchun's hand and ran to the northern highland with the little beggar.
Xun Qianchun was dragged to sit on the ground, looking at Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen didn't know what was going on with her either.
She contemplated for a moment and shouted, "Stay here! Don't follow me! What if something happens!"
The grass was blown to the ground, and there were endless clouds and sea in the sky.
Xun Qianchun said: "No."
Her voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly in Xu Zhen's ears.
Xu Zhen was shaken by this calm voice, and her whole body was quite awake, and the rain still patted her cheek. She leaned over and asked Xun Qianchun in a low voice: "Why are you following me all this time, do you know it's dangerous?"
Xun Qianchun nodded: "I know."
Xu Zhen said: "Then you wait here for me!"
Xun Qianchun said, "No."
Xu Zhen asked, "Why?!"
Xun Qianchun said: "I'm afraid of you, I'm in danger."
Xu Zhen held Xun Qianchun's hand tightly after hearing the words.
She squeezed it very hard, then loosened it after a while, looked at Xun Qianchun and explained seriously: "Don't worry about me, I won't die."
Xun Qianchun looked at her.
Xu Zhen's cold lips trembled, and she said tremblingly: "If I want to, I can live for ten thousand years, but you are different."
Xun Qianchun nodded: "That's good."
"What's the matter!" Xu Zhen cursed.
Her cheeks were wet, and she looked at Xun Qianchun sadly, thinking of that tormenting poison, her eyes were also moist.
She turned and ran away, continuing to work hard to earn merit points.
Xun Qianchun did not come during the period.
Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. She thought about the 50,000 merit points and persisted in saving people.
The torrential rain lasted for another day, and then gradually became smaller. However, the accumulated water in Chang'an could not be drained, and it kept piling up in the city. Therefore, the people could not return to the city and could only live on the high ground in the north of Chang'an.
Xu Zhen followed the river defense department to rescue many people, and felt that the situation was almost stable, so she returned to the little beggar.
A student brought Xu Zhen an oil-paper umbrella to keep out the wind and rain. Xu Zhen and those few people expressed their thanks.
When there were only her and the little beggar left, she and the little beggar flaunted: "Look at my student, please give me an umbrella."
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen indifferently.
Xu Zhen always felt that there was something wrong with this look, so she didn't dare to be embarrassed.
Chang'an was in chaos, some were angry, some took advantage of the chaos, and some knelt and begged for mercy. It was even more lively than when the new emperor succeeded to the throne.
Xu Zhen didn't know about it, she was exhausted and fell asleep in Xun Qianchun's arms.
The sun gradually came out and shone on the trees, but the rain continued to fall, and the water discharged was never comparable to the water pouring in from the river and the sea.
Jing Zhaoyin sent officials over to stabilize the situation, and the expressions of several officials were very relaxed, because the disaster situation this time was much better than everyone in the house expected.
For unknown reasons this time, there were not many civilian casualties, and there were even many people who saved themselves and others.
The news from the Holy Majesty came quickly, he had already sent guards over, and he had prepared food, and unexpectedly did not blame everyone when the rain was about to flow into the palace.
This is simply not something the Holy Majesty would do normally!
The officials from all walks of life were terrified and thankful that they were not punished, and they were afraid that the Holy Majesty would come over in a few days to settle accounts.
They worked hard to resettle the victims, took the people to the less disaster-stricken areas in the north, and began to dig canals to drain water and deploy the reconstruction activities of Chang'an City.
In the temporary base, the officials pushed wheelbarrows to deliver free food.
Walking on the wet soil, the wheelbarrow made a sizzling sound, and then stopped after two rings.
But when it was pushed to Xun Qianchun.
Several people in light-colored clothes glanced at her and pushed the car away.
Xun Qianchun didn't speak.
Half a day later, Xu Zhen woke up, looked around, and found that she had moved to another place. The place she was staying now was next to a city wall made of stones, and someone had set up a tent around her.
The rainstorm was over, and her mission was also over, Xu Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She chatted with the little beggar.
After chatting for a while, I felt something was wrong and asked, "Why don't we have white cakes?"
Xun Qianchun didn't know how to explain, she looked at Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen thought to herself: "Is it because all the distributions happened to be finished? Then wait."
But when it was time for dinner, the people around were given white cakes, and only two of them still didn't get any food.
Xu Zhen was shocked.
She ran to those who distributed food and said, "Why don't you give us food?!"
The one who distributed the food sat on the ground and didn't speak at first.
Later, Xu Zhen asked more harshly, and then said slowly after distributing food: "You are with the barbarians."
Xu Zhen said, "What happened to the barbarian? She followed and saved people. If it wasn't for her, half of the people in Chang'an would still be in the water!"
Pai Liang laughed as if he had heard some big joke: "Hu people save Han people? Do you think we are stupid??"
Xu Zhen asked: "Why not?!"
She looked around, saw a few familiar people, and wanted to pull them over to testify, but there was no movement from these people.
Xu Zhen asked those people: "Didn't my Xiaochun save you? How could you do this!"
The few people shook their heads without saying a word.
The one who distributed the food said with a smile: "I just said, how is it possible? You are in collusion with the barbarians, wait to be punished!"
Xu Zhen asked, "What happened to the Hu people?"
The person who distributed the food said: "The barbarian is a different species!"
Xu Zhen: "Heterogeneous? How did you come to that point of view?"
"Their looks!" said the food man, "their looks are different from ours, they are not of our race."
Xu Zhen said: "There is a hollow in the middle of Kong Qiu's head, so he looks different from us, don't you still want to learn from his professor now!"
The person who sent the food couldn't say it, and scolded: "You are using strong words!!"
Xu Zhen still wanted to continue to argue.
A young voice suddenly came from the side: "I testify."
Not much rain, but still raining. The cold wind was howling, and everyone was whispering, which was very noisy at first. But the man's voice fell, and the ground suddenly became quiet.
The food distributor was about to continue laughing at the speaker.
Suddenly, he saw that the person who spoke looked a little familiar, he seemed to be the son of the governor, and looked at the young man's attire, he seemed to be the son of the governor of Shangzhou! ! It's someone you can't offend!
The man was shocked: "Lang Jun, you can't talk nonsense!"
Xie Guang naturally knew not to talk nonsense.
He didn't even want to have anything to do with the barbarian, but he was embarrassed to ask for help first, and then he was rescued, so he owed that barbarian his life.
He didn't intend to forgive the Hu people, but he couldn't lie and pretend nothing happened.
Thinking of this, he tightened his jaw and said, "I know what I said! That person did save me and many people!"
The person who distributed the food suddenly dared not speak.
Xie Guang repeated: "It's this barbarian who keeps saving people."
The voice fell, and no one dared to answer.
The surroundings are so quiet that no sound can be heard, only the sound of rain water beating the ground and leaves.
Immediately afterwards, someone stood up and whispered, "Indeed, it was that blue-eyed barbarian who saved me."
Although there are people who help, there are not many of them.
After a while, several cuju players ran back to the temporary base against the wind and rain. These teenagers were teasing each other. After stepping into the base, they saw that the base was so quiet, so they asked what happened.
It was learned that he was investigating whether the Hu people had saved people.
These people immediately stood up to speak for Xun Qianchun without hesitation, saying that they had seen it with their own eyes.
The person who sent the food knew that these gentlemen were all courtiers, so he dared not mess with these people even if he had thirty lives!
The food distributors are going crazy.
What's going on these days, there are still Han people speaking for Hu people
Is it possible that the Hu people will really save the Han people? How is this possible, and if it really benefits the Hu people, how can I explain it to the Holy One?
More and more people around began to say that they saw Xun Qianchun saving lives.
Several officials have been unable to make a decision. After they whispered for a while, they were going to ask Jing Zhaoyin for instructions to see what to do about this matter.
But before he got up, a young eunuch quickly moved into the shelter.
This little eunuch was the most favored by the emperor's side. Holding a yellow silk imperial decree in his hand, he rowed a small boat all the way here. His body was covered with a lot of rain, and his head hurt from the cold wind.
But he didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately read out: "Xuan! Yuanwailang, you have made great contributions to the disaster relief! Three days later, you will receive the reward!!"
"Yuan Wai Lang???" Not only the people who distributed the food were shocked, but also the students of the academy and the common people who were sitting on the ground eating cakes were all shocked.
In this small broken place, there is also a sixth-rank official? Who is this disaster relief official and why is he so low-key? !
Everyone thought about it carefully, and after a while, they realized that if they have been working hard to save people, it seems that only—
Everyone's eyes finally fell on Xu Zhen who was standing there begging for white cakes.
The author has something to say: I wanted to go early today, but I caught a cold and affected my codewords. I apologize to everyone wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
