Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 269 Are You A Peach Blossom?
Ding Wei regained consciousness, turned around and ran back to the yard to get the rope, and then threw it to the man.

The two of them pulled one by one, and the other struggled to climb up, and finally they climbed to the gate of the temple.This is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. As soon as he landed on the ground, he began to cry loudly, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooette

When Ding Wei really didn't know how to comfort her, another woman riding on a log floated in the water, her clothes were soaked, and she was crying in disgrace.

Ding Wei hurriedly yelled and threw the rope over, and the young man wiped away his tears and prepared to help save others.But the woman was probably petrified, or she was just crying and didn't grab the rope. Ding Wei could only watch her being washed away by the flood.

At this time, the monks and the lodgers in the temple also ran out when they heard the commotion. When they saw the vast ocean outside the temple gate, everyone was shocked.

"What's wrong? Am I dreaming?"

"Where did the water come from? What... what should I do?"

"Amitabha!"

When Ding Wei thought of Qin Rui who was still missing, she was really anxious.If she hadn't urged to find a boat to go back to Donghao, Qin Rui wouldn't have gone out in the rain. Now that the flood is clearly coming from Jinhe, did he also suffer?

Just when the heart was anxious, another wooden basin rushed over from the flood, and was stopped by the branches sticking out of the river, which also made everyone hear the crying of the children inside more clearly.

"Oh, it's a child, save someone!"

"What to do, who knows how to water!"

Everyone jumped in a hurry, but with such a big flood, even if they can swim, they dare not go into the water.After all, this is not a clear river, the water is strong and mixed with all kinds of sundries, maybe being hit on the head by some wooden object, not to mention saving people, even oneself will be thrown into it.

However, seeing the wooden basin trembled and was about to be overturned by the flood, it was really critical.

With the light of the lightning, Ding Wei managed to see that the child in the basin was only about two years old, about the same size as An Geer.Xu Shi was put into a basin by his parents at a critical moment, expecting him to escape, but now he was sent to the temple gate.

If he doesn't rescue him again, I'm afraid his parents' painstaking efforts will be in vain.

"Help me pull the rope, I'll go down and save people!"

Ding Wei gritted her teeth, tied the rope around her waist, and prepared to go into the water, relying on her ability to swim a little.

She has such courage as a woman, but she is so ashamed that the men and monks behind her blushed and shouted, "Let's go, how can you, a woman, go into the water?"

While speaking, a tall and thin man grabbed the rope and wrapped it around his body first. Everyone pulled one end together, and he jumped into the water, pulling a branch and getting closer to the wooden basin.Then he pulled the tub and slowly swam back to the temple gate.Everyone almost dragged him up, and the tub was carried out.

The child in the basin was probably stunned and could only cry, so Ding Wei quickly hugged him and patted his back.

With a good start, the next thing to save lives will be much smoother.The monk opened the temple door wide, and everyone in the temple got up and helped to make room for two people to enter the main hall.

The men found bamboo poles, wooden sticks, straw ropes, planks, and all kinds of usable objects, and they all stood in front of the door to help rescue people.

One after another, counting them at dawn, they actually saved more than [-] people in the middle of the night.There are men and women, old and young.

I can't see clearly at night, and I can only see two feet in front of my eyes. Although it is still raining lightly, the sky is much brighter.

When everyone looked around again, they all gasped in shock.Water and fire are ruthless. The villages and farmlands that used to be under the mountain are now a vast expanse of whiteness. Except for water, it is still water.Needless to say, the people in those villages are in danger.

If it wasn't for the fact that the temple is located halfway up the mountain and the terrain is quite high, many people would have been washed away by the flood in their sleep.If Ding Wei hadn't been waiting in front of the door and called everyone to help, these twenty or so people would not have been saved, and they would have been sent to nowhere by the flood...

The few people who were rescued couldn't bear to hug their shoulders and choked up in a low voice. Regardless of whether they were rich or poor before, and how many people they had in their families, now they are left alone. ?
A woman, perhaps thinking of her child who was somewhere, cried so hard that she struggled to jump back into the water, but was stopped by the crowd.

Ding Wei gave the baby in her arms to others to help hold, thinking about whether to stretch a rope across the water, in case someone is rushed by the water, there will always be an obstacle, and it will be convenient for rescue.

But the flood was too great, and occasionally whole trees were washed down. Even if the rope was stopped, she was afraid that it would be broken, so she had no choice but to give up.

The monks in the temple were not stingy, and made a large bucket of rice porridge and delivered it to the door. Everyone who was waiting here shared a bowl.

Ding Wei helped feed the child, but she didn't want to eat any more. She turned her head to look at the source of the flood, feeling extremely miserable.

Qin Rui never showed up. This night, the flood was raging, isn't it already a disaster?
At this moment, she really regretted it.Regretting all the way to the present, she never asked his name and identity, never had a word with him.When she returned home in the future, when talking about this journey and the friend who helped her a lot, she didn't even know his real name.

Taking ten thousand steps back, if he dies this time, he can't even engrave a memorial tablet...

Perhaps God also heard her remorse. When everyone had eaten and was about to help clean up the barrels and dishes, a small wooden boat floated from the source of the flood. I used the boat to avoid the big trees and debris in the flood, and there seemed to be a few people on the boat.

"Ah, there's a boat, there's a boat!"

Everyone screamed, "Help, help!"

Everyone rushed to pick up bamboo poles and sticks, trying to stop the boat.Ding Wei even rushed forward as soon as she put down the child. The person on the bow covered in mud and in extreme distress was Qin Rui who she thought had been in trouble.

Seeing the front of the temple gate, Qin Rui used his arm to smash the oar against the big tree floating in the flood, and turned his head with the force, finally allowing him to grab the bamboo pole.Everyone desperately pulled back.The boat was almost turned around by the flood, but it finally landed.

Everyone hurriedly tore off the people on the boat, and finally Qin Rui jumped off, and quickly pulled the boat up the steps.

Ding Wei hurried forward and slapped Qin Rui on the shoulder who was so tired that he was lying directly on the stone steps, annoyed and scared, "You still know to come back? Didn't you just come back after going out to have a look, I thought you were drowned gone?"

"Bah!" Qin Rui spit out the muddy water in his mouth, and replied weakly, "I didn't ask you to urge me. I wanted to go to the Jinhe River to see if there was a suitable boat, but I ran into a broken embankment! If It's not that I caught a boat in an emergency, and now I'm really playing chess with the Dragon King."

Seeing the scratches on the back of his exposed hands, Ding Wei put away her complaints and urged, "Go ahead and wash it with clean water, and I'll apply some ointment for you."

Qin Rui waved his hand, "I have a minor injury, you should see which ones I save. One seems to have injured his leg!"

"Ah, is it?"

Ding Wei hurriedly went to check the few people who got off the boat, and sure enough, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy whose calf was twisted unnaturally, obviously broken.

Previously, she had only learned simple pulse diagnosis and acupuncture from Mr. Wei, but when she heard that she was going to enter the palace, she was full of uterine struggles, so she specialized in poison classics.Now I need bone setting, but I'm a little uncertain.

Seeing Ding Wei's appearance, the young man guessed that she was a doctor, so he urged, "Sister-in-law, I am not afraid of pain, please help me connect my legs quickly. I have to go back to save my sister. I will send her to the hospital. The tallest laurel tree in my house is on it!"

Ding Wei couldn't help turning her head to glance at the white mountain below, the village was gone, let alone the people on the tree.

But she didn't say it clearly, she just took out the silver needles she had bought on the road earlier, and sealed the sleepy acupuncture point of the younger generation. Finally, she had the courage to straighten the bone, and fixed it with a branch.

Two monks helped to carry the young man inside, leaving everyone silent except for occasional crying.Who doesn't have a younger sister, no parents and children, and now there is a big flood, even if there is no separation between Yin and Yang, it is unknown where they will all be washed away.

Qin Rui stood up at some point, looking at the big water in front of him, the usual scorn was gone from his expression, and he was rare and solemn.

Ding Wei's heart tightened, and she said, "Don't tell me, you want to go into the water again to save people?"

"No, I want to go to Wenshui City!"

Qin Rui pointed to a black spot on the bank of the flood in the distance, probably because of the high city wall, the flood bypassed Wenshui City, but submerged all the small towns and villages outside the city.

Ding Wei was startled, and annoyed, "How do you get across such a big water? Besides, what can you do even if you enter the city? Let the government send a boat to save people?"

Qin Rui shook his head, "There are Changping warehouses in the city, and there are rice grains. After the flood, disaster relief will start. If there is no rice grains, public grievances will erupt, and Da Yue will be in chaos."

"But..." Ding Wei wanted to persuade her again, but she swallowed the words again.This kind of scene is really familiar, as if Gong Zhiming had such a firm expression when he raised the banner of righteousness and returned to Kyoto.

"Hiding all the way, aren't you afraid that your whereabouts will be exposed because of this?"

"Ah, did you see it?" Qin Rui smiled wryly, and replied helplessly, "Some things must be done. This Wenshui City is... well, you don't understand. In short, if I don't enter the city, the flood will recede , I am afraid that more people died of starvation than drowned."

"Then let's go." Ding Wei turned her head and ran back to the small courtyard where she was staying, took out an oiled paper bag containing a pancake, and poured warm water out.

Qin Rui tried his best to eat two large pancakes, drank water, put the oil paper bag in the package, tied it tightly on his back, and took one last look at Ding Wei.

"If I have something to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you back to Donghao. I'm breaking my promise."

"No, you sent me here, you have done your best. I am very grateful to have a traveling companion like you!"

Perhaps Qin Rui couldn't stand such a parting, so he waved his hands, and Dan Feng raised his eyes, "I will definitely come back as soon as possible, take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he jumped down the stone steps and quickly disappeared into the forest.The boat cannot go against the current, so it can only swim along the mountains and forests, and find the nearest place to swim to Wenshui City.

Ding Wei looked at the place where Qin Rui disappeared, and did not speak for a long time, feeling extremely heavy in her heart.

When she was in a daze, someone pulled her sleeves unexpectedly, "Peach Blossom, you are the peach blossom of the Chen family, right?"
