"Miss Liu, you've been working so hard all the way, why don't you take a rest? So as not to dirty your clothes." Qi Tianyi saw Liu Yi standing next to him in men's clothing and said to her casually.

"There are victims everywhere here. I'm a little scared by myself." Liu Yi raised her head and glanced at him, "Can I follow you?"

After saying that, she turned around and saw Shi Jin.

She looked fine, but the rotten smell on Shi Jin's body made her take a step back. With a smile on her face, she looked at Qi Tianyi, "Who is this?"

Shi Jin followed the rules of the house and respectfully gave him a blessing, "I've met Miss Liu. This servant is Shi Jin, the maid beside Mr. Qi of the Marquis of Jing'an."

"Shi Jin? That's a nice name. My name is Liu Yi, and I am the daughter of Dean Liu of White Deer Academy." Liu Yi said with a smile, "You have been here longer than us, do you know where there is a place to rest here?"

Shi Jin pursed his lips, "The resting areas are all made of felt cloth. If Miss Liu wants to rest, she might as well go to the slave room to rest first."

"That's great!" Liu Yi's journey was all due to her tenacity. But the days of traveling and driving had already made her tired.

Her father asked her not to follow him, but she secretly changed into student clothes and mingled in the crowd, insisting on imitating that heroine. What a man can do, a girl's family can always do.

But the difference between the ideal and the reality was too big, and she was always panicked when she saw the tragic scene of people dying of hunger all over the place.

That's why she wanted to pester Qi Tianyi when she got here.

Although he is not as old as Wen Guan and is much weaker than his father, he always gives her a sense of safety and reliability.

Now that Shi Jin is willing to take her to have a rest, she is naturally happy to see it happen. Now Shi Jin leads the way, followed by Qi Tianyi and Liu Yi, and they walk to higher ground together.

Qi Tianyi also wanted to see if she was living well here.

After getting the felt tent with ventilation from all sides, Liu Yi opened her mouth in shock and turned to look at Shi Jin, "Is this it?"

Shi Jin nodded, "Not only the second master, but also the fifth prince, so the place where he lives is like this."

Liu Yi fell silent, and so did Qi Tianyi.

Shi Jin washed his hands in the rainwater pool outside the felt shed and led the two silent people into the house.

There was not even a seat in the room, only a roll of tattered straw mats spread on the ground, and a brocade quilt of an indiscernible color spread on it.

"If Miss Liu is tired, you can lie down on the mat." Shi Jin lowered his eyes and said.

Qi Tianyi cleared his throat from the silence and took out a small bag from his sleeve, "Can I use some of the sesame cakes I bought before entering the disaster area?"

The biscuits are not very oily and the only advantage is that they are durable and not easy to break.

On normal days, not only Qi Tianyi, but also Liu Yi would be disdainful.

However, now, Liu Yi's eyes also showed some desire.

Shi Jin looked at the two dry sesame cakes and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and smiled, "If it were yesterday, these two sesame cakes of yours would have been snatched away by the slaves. I drank a lot of rice soup today, but I didn't expect it to happen."

Not very hungry."

"Then give it to me! I'm hungry!" Liu Yi snatched the sesame seed cake from Qi Tianyi's hand and said with a smile.

After all, she finally divided the two sesame cakes between Shi Jin and Shi Jin. Seeing Shi Jin put the sesame cakes into her indigo flower cloth bag, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You are so frugal. Be careful. I will crawl out of bed when I am hungry at night."

I came to steal some food in your felt tent."

Shi Jin also laughed, "You can steal the sesame cakes, just don't eat them from me."

As soon as the joke came out, she felt sour in her heart again, remembering the half-skeleton that tripped her for no reason. She shook her head for a moment to expel the acid.

.

It's been drizzling for two days in a row. Although it's annoying, it's not harmful at all.

"It's such a cold day, so there shouldn't be any more heavy rain." Doctor He said after catching a drop of rain.

However, the rain began to patter in the middle of the night and gradually became heavier. The second master was not here, so Shi Jin just curled up and covered himself with a brocade quilt.

The cold was so pervasive that the grass mat gradually became cold, as if rainwater had washed in, making everything cold and damp.

"Shi Jin! Shi Jin!" A low voice shouted from outside the tent. Shi Jin was startled and finally woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked outside. It was pitch black and the sound of rain was loud. She suddenly woke up.

It's such a cold day and it's raining. The victims...

He quickly stood up and saw Liu Yi lifting the felt curtain from the outside and walking in. The oil coat on his body was also wet.

"The water in the river has risen again." Her voice trembled a little, obviously she had never seen such a situation before, and her whole body was also shaking, "Young Master Gangqi asked me to come to you, let's go to Shed Qian.

Don’t go out.”

"What about them?" Shi Jin pulled her to sit on the straw mat.

Even sitting there was uneasy, as the underside of the straw mat was soaked by rainwater due to the gaps in the felt tent.

"My father said that the canal that diverts the fifth prince into the river is still far away. The heavy rain came unexpectedly. At the moment, we can only divert the water into a nearby valley to prevent the flood from overflowing and submerging more places. Migrant workers and those who can move

The victims are now outside helping."

Shi Jin stood up and turned around in a circle, and the shouts could be heard faintly amid the sound of rain in the distance, like a wailing and trapped little beast struggling to death under the claws of a giant beast in the dark night.

She looked outside the felt shed, and the whole world was pitch black. Only the fifth prince's felt shed had a light on. Through the pouring rain, she saw the fifth prince wearing an oil coat sitting on a wheelchair outside the shed, looking into the distance.

of darkness.

He wanted to get out of the wheelchair and stand up, but as soon as he stood up and wanted to take a step forward, he fell back into the wheelchair. He tried several times to no avail, but the oil coat was blown away by the wind and rain, and half of his body was soaked in the rain, feeling depressed and disheartened. He

The miracle doctor's usually calm face also looked a little embarrassed. His white hair stuck to his white clothes, but his body was slightly hunched, as if he was trying to dissuade the fifth prince from taking care of his body.

Her heart tingled.

On a night like this, everyone is racing against time, trying to find a way out for themselves, so why is she confined to a felt shed and a straw mat?

"This slave has to go out and take a look." She said.

Liu Yi opened his eyes, as if looking at a madman, "You are crazy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Jin put on a raincoat and rushed into the rain.

Because the night was too dark, she walked down the slope with one foot deep and one foot shallow. From a distance, she saw dark figures under the dome, digging ditches while shouting and dying.

The water was turbulent and the wind was strong, rising and receding. However, every time it fell or rose, it got closer to the crowd.

She looked to the other side. On the other side, there was only the dark night and the sound of rain, and she couldn't see any living things.

However, she knew that those shivering in the dark night included women, children, and the elderly...

She had walked this road many times, stumbling in the mud and falling several times.

Every time she fell down, she grabbed the ground and got up. The mud on her body became more and more rolling with the rain, and even her voice could not be heard clearly in the rain, "Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else?"

Then he shouted again and again until he was hoarse.

Just when she was about to give up, Dalang's childish voice responded to her in the dark rain, "Yes!"

More voices gradually gathered, old, hoarse, soft, crisp, heavy...

"have!"

"have!"

"have!"

"have!"

"have!"……

Shi Jin wanted to laugh and cry, while others were struggling to survive in the dark night...

.

More and more people are joining the canal-digging team, not only strong young people, but also old people, women, and children. One by one, they are silent in the rainy night, and then burst out in the rainy night.

Shi Jin was also among them, next to Dalang and Madam Zhang. Those who had shovels used shovels, those who had shovels used shovels, those who had sticks used sticks, and those who had hands used their hands to dig out baskets of soil.

A deep ditch formed in the valley, pulling the rising water deeper into the valley.

"Be careful!" Dalang was young after all. His foot slipped and he almost fell into the newly dug ditch.

Shi Jin grabbed him and pulled him out together with Madam Zhang.
