Ye Qing, wearing a raincoat, walked down the embankment.
As soon as we walked not far away, we saw many civilians queuing up in an orderly manner under the two large thatched sheds in front.
They had bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and it looked like they were waiting for the meal.
The peasants who had prepared meals hid their rice bowls in their arms and ran to the thatched huts farther away to eat their meals.
Even through the heavy rain, Ye Qing saw that many people put their bowls and chopsticks into a big bucket after eating, and then hurriedly continued up the embankment.
Ye Qing looked at these civilians with admiration and whispered:
"They are all heroes."
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
But we just walked out not far.
The sound of footsteps breaking through the water came from behind him.
Ye Qing turned around and saw a petite figure wearing a raincoat running towards him quickly.
Even through the hazy rain curtain.
Under the bamboo hat, the joy on that pretty face clearly fell into Ye Qing's eyes.
He was suddenly startled. Unexpectedly, it was Shangguan Lanxi who had an outstanding life experience.
This is the Yinghe River Embankment full of dangers.
Moreover, there were civilian husbands everywhere, why did she, a girl from a girl's family, come here?
No time to think too much.
Shangguan Lanxi ran to Ye Qing's side, and a clear and sweet voice like a lark, filled with excitement, fell into Ye Qing's ears.
"Mr. Ye, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"What are you doing here?"
"Is the injury on your left arm healed?"
Ye Qing, who bowed his hands to Shangguan Lanxi, found a reason and asked curiously:
"I have seen Miss Shangguan. I am here to deliver something on the order of the magistrate."
"The injury on my left arm is healing. It won't be long before it will be healed."
"On the contrary, Miss Shangguan, how could you come to such a dangerous place?"
His eyes fell on Ye Qing's left arm, which was covered by a raincoat, and guilt appeared on Shangguan Lanxi's beautiful face.
She heard Ye Qing's question and answered:
"I heard that the water in the Ying River has risen, and the prefect ordered the people to repair the river embankments."
"I can't do the hard work, but I still want to contribute."
"After planning with sister Wanqing, we set up a dining tent here and cooked some delicious food."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Lanxi looked innocent and said extremely seriously:
"With enough food, everyone will have the strength to work, and the river embankments can be repaired faster. In this way, the people of Huaiyang will not be in danger."
The kindness she showed in this moment.
This greatly changed Ye Qing's view of Shangguan Lanxi.
The girl in front of her didn't seem as indulgent as the one she met that night.
He said sincerely to Shangguan Lanxi: "Ye Qing, on behalf of the people of Huaiyang, I would like to thank Miss Shangguan."
The words fell.
Ye Qing bowed to him solemnly and saluted him.
Shangguan Lanxi, whose jade-like skin was originally pale due to heavy rain and cold weather, suddenly turned red.
She quickly moved a step aside, bowed out of the way, and said humbly:
"No thanks, I just did what I could."
She just finished speaking.
Ye Qing saw three people running quickly from the direction of the dining tent through the rain curtain.
One of them is Mo Wanqing, and the tall figures of the other two are even more majestic because they are wearing raincoats.
The two men stood behind Shangguan Lanxi and looked at Ye Qing warily.
There was even more unconcealed disgust in his eyes, which Ye Qing could clearly see.
Ye Qing knew what was going on and didn't care. After saluting Mo Wanqing, he asked:
"I've met Miss Mo."
"Is Mr. Zhang here?"
Mo Wanqing shook her head slightly, stepped forward and spoke out through the loud sound of the heavy rain:
"That day he saw the person you mentioned and left Huaiyang."
Ye Qing, who was moved in his heart, nodded and said:
"The day before yesterday, someone came to see me and asked me not to do things with Mr. Zhang. I got rid of that person. He had Yuanhetang's waistband, a two-inch long silver needle hidden in his waistband, and a human skin mask. .”
"I have some impressions of his face. If I remember correctly, I saw him on the boat."
Crunch!
Amidst the loud sound of falling rain, the sound of bones exploding as Mo Wanqing clenched her fists was mixed in with it.
Mo Wanqing nodded and said, "I understand. I will tell him when he returns."
After a pause, Mo Wanqing, who had a cold temperament, said again:
"Be safe."
Ye Qing, who knew the other party's temperament, heard these words and understood that the other party, if not treating him as a friend, at least no longer ignored him and must have recognized him.
Ye Qing smiled and bowed.
After getting up, he was about to turn around and leave. He suddenly remembered the Zijin Cauldron and reminded him:
"You must have heard about the Zijin Cauldron."
"With the sudden heavy rain for several days, there must be undercurrents in Huaiyang City."
"Please pay attention to your safety. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Ye Qing stopped staying, turned around and left quickly.
Shangguan Lanxi, who was obedient and didn't disturb the two of them talking quietly, saw Ye Qing leaving suddenly and immediately stepped forward, wanting to stop him for a few more words.
Mo Wanqing hurriedly grabbed his arm, looked into her apricot eyes, and said without any doubt:
"Don't go."
Shangguan Lanxi, whose lips curled up, said sadly:
"You didn't let me look for him before."
"It's not easy to meet him today. I want to talk to him more."
Mo Wanqing, who was quite helpless, said: "The injury on his left arm has not healed yet, so he cannot be exposed to the rain."
Suddenly, Shangguan Lanxi lowered his head in guilt.
Seeing this, Mo Wanqing could only say: "I will accompany you to find him later."
In an instant.
In the cold rain, a heart-warming smile bloomed.
