"Here comes Fang Gang."

Hearing the reminder of giving birth, Ma Sanshu and Shen Ge looked up at the kitchen door at the same time. Fang Jiayin walked a few steps through the rain curtain and walked in, stamped his feet, shook the water on his body, and complained, "The boat is gone, The house is gone, and God doesn’t think it’s enough for him, so he pours it down with ladles and drowns everyone, so I’m so happy!”

The flood is ruthless. Those who are lucky enough to survive have to face the disaster of having nothing but relatives, fertile land, houses, food, belongings... How can they survive? Uncle Ma Sanshu felt scared for a while, but he did not expect that the flood came earlier than the rumors. Ten days later, thanks to him listening to Shen Ge's words, he asked his family to follow Mrs. Shi upstream. If the family is gone, it will be gone, as long as everyone is here.

But Fang Jiayin's family members, I'm afraid... It's not like he didn't tell Fang Jiayin that people in Wusha Town were talking about the collapse of Wolong Embankment, but Fang Jiayin didn't believe it, and it was too late to say anything now.

Uncle Ma patted the wooden pillar beside him, asked Fang Jiayin to sit down, and asked, "Brother Ma, what did you say when An Ziyuan left him?"

Fang Jiayin stretched out his hand to warm the fire, "He said it would only take a day or two, and when the floods calm down, he would let me take him back to Xiacai by boat."

Uncle Ma reminded him in a low voice, "We don't know his origins..."

"I saw that he was very thoughtful, but he gave me two hundred taels of silver." The strong and cheerful man looked sad at this moment, "When a natural disaster occurs, the ship is gone and the cargo is gone, no one can blame me, but with me My brothers who have been on the ship for so many years... if they can survive by chance, it will be okay. If... I go back alive, I have to give an explanation to the brothers' families."

Taking the two hundred taels of silver back and sharing it with the family members of the deceased boatman and chores was an explanation.

"When the flood came, you ignored the boat and asked them to jump into the water immediately to escape. You were the last one to get off the boat. In any case, you have lived up to your conscience." Uncle Ma put another piece of dry bamboo on the fire. , the crackling sound of burning bamboo sounded to everyone's ears, like the sound of firecrackers at a funeral, "The brothers who followed me out to run escorts are now... well... I won't say it, the more I talk about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. We If they can survive, they will definitely survive!"

"The two of us can survive only because of the cable thrown by Shen Ge. If it were a step later, we would be feeding the fish at the bottom of the water." Fang Jiayin raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, cheering up and said, "An Ziyuan seems to be very thoughtful, and his subordinates are also powerful. But I am just a coolie, and they have no grudges against me. They should not do anything to me. Besides, I am also anxious to go home to see and take them with me. You’re not at a disadvantage at all. What’s going on with you three? Do you want to come with me?”

Uncle Ma San said, "I have to go to Xuanzhou first. The bodyguard is gone, and my brothers don't know whether they are dead or alive. As the head of the bodyguard, I have to go and explain clearly."

The Anshun Escort Agency where Uncle Ma works also has a branch in Xuanzhou.

Shen Ge also said, "I'll talk about it after Third Uncle and Mrs. Lin set off."

Shengzi immediately said, "I'll follow Brother Shen."

Shen Ge, who did not say where he was going, added, "Uncle Ma is a good man. Good people are blessed by God. Your family must be at home waiting for you to go back."

At this time, no one wants to listen to good words. Fang Jiayin patted Shen Ge on the shoulder and said, "You saved my life. I won't say any more words of gratitude. If you need me in the future, just give me your orders. My old arms are so old My legs can’t hold up anymore, so I have to go lie down for a while, where is Qinglin?”

Uncle Ma also stood up, "I'm going to take a rest too."

Shen Ge also got up, but he wasn't going to sleep. "I'm hungry. I need to find something to cushion my bed first."

Uncle Ma Sanshu and Fang Jiayin both laughed, "At your age, you will be hungry when you are full. Go ahead and be careful. I think the monks in the temple are very particular about not messing up other people's things."

Leaving his son behind to continue drying his clothes by the fire, Shen Ge put on the coir raincoat he found from the backyard and walked out of the west courtyard. Seeing that the oil umbrella he had placed outside the door of the east courtyard was gone, the corners of Shen Ge's perfect lips raised slightly, and he quickly Walking towards the backyard.

An Fengchun in the hall watched Shen Ge go out, walked into the east room and said in a low voice, "Shen Ge left the hospital to find food, and the remaining two went to the west room to sleep."

An Ziyuan, who had been calm and composed in front of everyone just now, was now gloomier than the weather outside. Thinking of the intimate appearance of Lin Ruyu and Shen Ge sitting side by side on the boat, An Ziyuan couldn't suppress the rage in his heart, "Send someone to keep an eye on him. If he leaves the temple, he will be killed immediately."

"As commanded."

, "Avoid everyone's eyes and ears, especially don't let the East Courtyard notice any clues."

That little fox is now considering Shen Ge as its savior. How can the little fox he likes be allowed to be messed with by a young beggar? An Ziyuan raised his eyes and looked at the heavy rain outside the window gloomily, and ordered , "Even the lunch from the east courtyard is prepared."

"yes."

Shen Ge came to the door of the backyard kitchen and saw a stove fire burning in the room, steam rising from the stove, and the house was filled with the fragrance of rice. Lin Ruyu, who had changed into clean clothes and had her long clean black hair tied simply behind her, was sitting by the stove picking rice. The dishes, the loose ends of her hair outline the soft outline of her back, and the room is filled with warmth.

Looking at this scene, a word appeared in Shen Ge's mind that he had longed for countless times but never had - "home".

She had found her family and was about to go home. Shen Ge stood quietly in the rain for a moment, then stepped into the kitchen and said in what he thought was the most ordinary chatting tone, "Second sister is cooking?"

Looking back and seeing Shen Ge coming, Lin Ruyu quickly stood up and asked, "Why don't you take a nap first?"

Brother Dafu was so tired that he fell asleep just lying down, but Shen Ge was even more tired than Brother Dafu.

Before Shen Ge could answer, his stomach growled loudly enough that the rain could not suppress it.

The more he tried to behave better, the more he was embarrassed in front of Lin Ruyu, and Shen Ge felt annoyed. Before he could make up for it with words, Lin Ruyu said gently, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I cooked a big pot of brown rice." The porridge will be ready in a quarter of an hour. Brother Shen, come over and sit down. I'll take a look at the injury on your arm first."

Shen Ge wanted to respond, but he found that his throat could not make a sound, so he took off his raincoat and stepped forward, sitting upright on the small wooden pier next to Lin Ruyu. He looked very handsome and raised his left sleeve boldly.

Lin Ruyu dried her hands by the stove fire before carefully untying the bandage on Shen Ge's arm. When she saw that his upper arm was more than three inches long and had a gaping wound, Lin Ruyu's heart shrank and she said worriedly, "It's useless what I gave you." vulnerary?"

Shen Ge found his voice and explained, "I used it immediately after I was injured last night, but I was in a hurry this morning and left the bag with the medicine bottles on the shore. When the water calms down tomorrow, I will go and find the bag. return."

Even after being injured like this, you still want to go into the water to find trouble and risk your life? Lin Ruyu frowned and said, "The flood water is not clean. Before the wound heals, you can't go into the water again, otherwise the wound infection will be troublesome."

The floods were full of drowned people and animals, mixed with all kinds of stolen goods. If you are not careful, you may contract diseases such as dysentery, which is why there is a saying that "there will be a big epidemic after a big flood." I'm afraid Shen Ge doesn't believe it. After sneaking into the water, Lin Ruyu put on a stern face and threatened him, "If the wound gets infected and fester, your arm may be useless."

When their eyes met, Lin Ruyu noticed that there was a silly smile on Shen Ge's face, so she turned her eyes away slightly uncomfortably, thinking to herself: What's so funny!

Seeing that Lin Ruyu was a little unhappy, Shen Ge quickly put on what he thought was the most harmless smile and promised, "Well, listen to my second sister, I won't get into the water."

Hearing his laughter, Lin Ruyu became even more angry, "You pick these vegetables cleanly, and I'll go out and collect some herbs."

Without waiting for Shen Ge to reply, Lin Ruyu stepped on her clogs, held up her umbrella and walked out.
