Chapter 212 A Lonely Throw

"Madam, madam, you haven't taught me how to make ice drinks yet. Madam, could you please tell the military master and take us away with you."

The shopkeeper originally wanted to hide the food and blackmail Su Manrong. Who would have thought that rescue would arrive so quickly...

Leaving aside whether to rip off or not, they still have to get out of danger as soon as possible.

"Shopkeeper, you've seen it too. This is the grudge between your Xianyang City and Chengzhou City, it has nothing to do with me. We can only rely on the military master to take us out of danger."

Su Manrong shook her head helplessly. She was not as bad as the Holy Mother. It would be great if His Highness King Cheng could send troops to rescue her.

She couldn't ask King Cheng's people to rescue this one or pull that one. After all, there were people all over the city waiting for rescue at the north and south city gates, and it was impossible to save them all with just one ship from Prince Cheng's palace.

Before she is out of danger, she wants to help the great righteousness and save the people from the fire and water? Sorry, she, Su Manrong, does not have such a lofty ideological consciousness.

"But you haven't taught me how to make iced drinks. Now that you're leaving, who should I learn from?" The shopkeeper was carrying a heavy luggage, which was all full of money, and the pressure on his shoulders was very painful.

"The specific methods are left on the note for you. As long as you follow the methods, there will generally be no problems. Time is urgent, let's take the first step."

As Su Manrong spoke, she turned around and knelt down to support the two children. After all, the ship was shaking and she was worried that the two children would fall.

After the shopkeeper and his party asked for help, Prince Cheng's soldiers rowed away expressionlessly.

Fortunately, these Prince Cheng's soldiers had explored the road before coming here, so when they went back, they passed through empty alleys and the ships did not touch the walls or tree trunks.

However, after the flood was scorched by the scorching sun for a day, the boats floated on the water, and heat waves hit the human body one after another. In addition to the heat waves, the air was filled with the smell of rot and blood.

"...Ah, someone, someone..."

Xiao Chengxiao's sudden exclamation made everyone who was relieved to have been rescued become nervous again.

Everyone looked towards the water, but before Su Manrong could react, her eyes were covered by Xiao Chengxian's big hand.

"Don't look."

Then Xiao Chengxian put her head against his heart and blocked her sight with his body. Because the two children were shorter, they couldn't see the scene on the water...

"Yeah." Su Manrong could probably imagine what kind of tragedy it would be on the water. She originally thought that before the flood, the people had moved to safe places.

But I didn't expect that disasters are disasters, and there are probably no people who will die because of disasters.

When two aunts, Xiao Chengxiao and Du Xin, saw the corpse on the water that had been soaked beyond recognition, they were so frightened that they squatted on the ground and patted their chests gently.

They also knew that if they hadn't walked with Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian, they would have become corpses in the water, stinking and rotten...

"Painter Su, not far ahead is the South City Gate. As we pass forward, there will be more corpses and the smell will be unpleasant. You'd better cover your mouth and nose."

Prince Cheng's soldiers reminded him kindly. After all, just a soaked corpse can make these female relatives react so much. I'm afraid they will be even more unbearable when they pass by the city gate.

"The terrain on the city gate is high, why are there so many corpses?" Su Manrong counted the days. It took two days and two nights in total. Even if there was no food, so many people would not die in a short period of time...

She is very sensitive to smells, and she has been wearing a mask since the flood started. Everyone was given a mask, but none of them wore it.

After hearing the reminder, they all took out their masks and quickly put them on.

"Painter Su didn't know something. These people who jumped down from the city gate all relied on their water quality and wanted to swim out to find food.

But the further they went outside Chengmen, the stronger the current became, and they couldn't swim through it. After turning back, they couldn't get up to the city gate again, and they had no choice but to lose their lives after being exhausted."

Prince Cheng's soldiers also kindly reminded everyone when they advanced through the city gate, but there was no food and they were waiting to die outside the city gate, so they had no choice but to give it a try.

"Madam, the city gate is just ahead. Don't look, don't listen, let's go there first." Xiao Chengxian patted Su Manrong's shoulder and reminded in a low voice.

Those who are on the verge of despair at the city gate will definitely cry for help when they see a ship passing by. If they see a young child on the ship, they will definitely let their children come to ask for help.

He knew that Su Manrong was kind-hearted and did not want to see the people suffer. But at this moment, they had to ensure that they landed safely first.

"I know." Su Manrong nodded solemnly. Of course she would not put herself in danger by saving others, let alone involve the dozen or so people on the ship.

But in my heart, I was cursing the emperor for his inaction. The news of the flood in Xianyang City must have spread to the Holy Capital. But it has been two days and two nights, and the imperial court has not taken any rescue action...

Before the ship reached the city gate, they heard cries for help. They burst into tears, and their voices were full of hope.

But as they watched the ships pass under the city gate without stopping at all, their cries were even more desperate.

The closer it got to the point where the moat broke, the greater the resistance the ship encountered. Fortunately, the boatmen worked together. The ship floated 500 meters downstream along the moat before it was pulled by the 50th Guards.

Everyone was able to reach the shore.

"Madam, Sir. After we left the city, we were washed by the current onto the river five miles away, and we were able to reach the shore. We were worried that Madam, Sir, and the young master and young lady would be in danger while riding the kayak, so we made the decision to go to Chengzhou without authorization."

As Zero Yi spoke, he knelt down heavily on the ground, with a burdened face, apologizing. He knew that Madam and Master must have been extremely worried during this period, and it was his fault that he failed to coordinate support and reporting.

"You did a good job." Seeing that Xiao Chengxian was not going to speak, Su Manrong took a step forward and comforted Ling Yi: "I like your ability to adapt to changes."

In modern times, the colleagues and staff in her team are all well-rounded. If you just tell someone something, no matter what method is used, it will be completed well.

If you encounter an employee who comes to you for advice every step of the way, her team will not reach the top.

"Mrs. and Master are worried." Ling Yi and the others slowly raised their heads and looked at Su Manrong, who was glowing with warm light all over her body. They felt that she was like a Bodhisattva descending to earth...

"Ling Yi, you take the brothers back to the tent to rest first. Zheng'er and Yuan'er will also be left to you."

As Su Manrong said this, she took Xiao Chengxian's arm and walked towards the soldiers of Prince Cheng's Mansion who were sorting out the ship.
