When Jin Yunlan woke up early the next morning, she felt refreshed. Li Zhiren was no longer there. She opened her homework, and sure enough, every question was filled in. She was so happy that she ran down the mountain. Before Zhao Ziyang arrived in the classroom,
Handed in the homework.
Zhao Ziyang liked to correct homework on the spot, and when he encountered problems, he would ask his disciples to come up one by one to listen to the instructions.
He methodically opened the first homework book on the top. Jin Yunlan's heart was hanging, and her legs were already shaking under the desk, ready to go up and accept Mr. Zhao's verbal sanctions.
Unexpectedly, he laughed out loud, and it was not a sarcastic laugh, but a smile of sincere praise. He stroked his goatee over and over again and said: "Miss Lan has really made great progress. She can actually do such a difficult problem."
It’s all right, children can be taught, children can be taught.”
All the classmates in the classroom looked at her with envy and astonishment. Their eyes all revealed the same meaning.
If she could get all such disgusting and difficult questions right, she must be close to being crazy.
Jin Yunlan was also shocked.
Li Zhi, he can't even read simplified Chinese characters, but he can do all of them correctly. Is he a genius?
Now I have brought two large boxes of books, and I want to take this opportunity to improve Li's overall education level.
She asked Li Zhi to call the clan members to gather in the hall. She stood on the podium without any restraint, assumed the role of a teacher, and taught everyone the current writings and trends of thought in a serious manner. She told everyone without shame that all this was for the purpose of integrating in the future.
Laying the foundation in the secular world, it seems that the future of reconciliation between Jinyun and Li is clearly visible.
Li Zhi did not reject the fact that her closed tribe suddenly opened a door to the outside world. He believed in knowing yourself and the enemy and fighting a hundred battles without danger. He even found an inconspicuous position and watched her beaming on the stage.
Teaching.
Following her demonstration, he stretched out a finger to write his simplified name out of thin air. It was a very novel feeling, and the person who brought this new trend was undoubtedly the woman on the stage.
She was reciting a poem with great emotion, and her voice was very raw when she was reciting. She seemed to have discovered this, and tried hard to cover it up, which made it even more funny, but... it was also very lively and interesting.
She called on everyone to read along. Everyone was embarrassed and blushing, and they were all in disarray.
Li Zhi's clear and bright voice came out from the corner. He was born with great leadership and attractiveness. Following his example, everyone changed their awkwardness and followed loudly.
Jin Yunlan cast a grateful look at him, and at the same time kept saying: "My fair lady..."
Li Zhi glanced at her and reminded her to focus, but he did not forget to recite in response: "... A gentleman is a good man."
After class, Jin Yunlan sat and rested in the corridor, and Li Zhi poured her a cup of tea.
There were no stars or moon tonight, and the whole sky and earth were pitch black. Only the light from the oil lamp on the table in the room illuminated a small area. The light expanded as much as possible, but it only pulled her shadow out a little.
"Azhi, I have been studying spells recently, and I sincerely hope that I can unlock the thirty-year curse for you as soon as possible. There are many bad things in this world, and there are also many good things. No one can deprive you of the opportunity to enjoy happiness.
Right." She said to herself, clinking glasses with him, and then drank it down with great enthusiasm.
Normally, he would have poured cold water on her, but at this moment, he was actually infected by her innocence, and couldn't help but imagine what a beautiful image she meant by "beautiful".
The peaceful atmosphere did not last long. Yuanyuan rushed out of the night with an umbrella in his arms, rushed to the door of Li Zhi's house in the dust, and said like a bolt from the blue, "Miss, it's not good, the earth-rock dam built before has collapsed."
One piece, the river is now swollen again, and I'm afraid it's going to burst its embankment!"
Jin Yunlan suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted in shock: "What!"
The earthen dam was completed only three days ago. Because the weather has been fine in the past few days, the river water has no tendency to rise again. After Jin Yunlan left, her superiors asked her to take a good rest, and other people continued to follow up on the flood control work, so she also
He didn't put any more effort into it, but just told Wanwanman to go check it out if it rained.
It was night, and there was no wind or rain when she went up the mountain. The empty mountain was always different from the sunny and rainy days outside. She was peaceful in this sunny place, and she never thought that there was already a heavy rain outside the barrier.
When the rain got heavier, Wanwanman felt uneasy and went to the embankment to investigate. Unexpectedly, as she approached, she heard a loud collapse and tremor from the front. She approached in the rain and found that the earth-rock dam had collapsed.
Jin Yunlan was so anxious after hearing what she said that he pulled her down the mountain quickly without saying hello. The two of them ran wildly in the rainy night. On the way, she asked her eagerly: "How is the damage? Has anyone been there to repair it?"
Satisfied answer: "The lowest point from south to north collapsed about fifteen feet. No one noticed this when I arrived. Maybe they thought that the rain today was not too severe, and the height of the temporary dam was enough to cope with it.
So I didn't pay much attention to it. Me too, if the lady hadn't told me in advance, I don't think I would have gone to see that."
Jin Yunlan asked anxiously: "Then did you tell your father about this? Let him send someone to remedy it?"
Yuanyuan bit her lower lip and said hesitantly: "Not yet."
Jin Yunlan couldn't help but glare at her, "Then you may have informed the person in charge of continuing to follow up on the flood prevention work and asked him to summon people to help?"
Yuanyuan shook his head and still gave a negative answer.
Seeing her meek reaction, Jin Yunlan couldn't help but become stern in her tone, "In the past, I saw that you were quite smart in your actions, but why are you so stupid when big things happen? Since you have time to go up the mountain to find me, why didn't you report this to the superiors early?
I wasted a lot of time like this." As she spoke, she couldn't help but speed up her steps, letting the big raindrops hit her face hard and wet her lips that kept opening and closing.
"The river has already overflowed the river bank before. Although the tide has receded in the past few days, it is still flush with the bank. Now the river embankment at the lowest point has collapsed. As long as the rain becomes stronger, it will immediately break through the defense line and flood the river bank.
Enter the farmland.”
She pointed at Jinyun Mansion and gave an order to Yuanyuan, "Go and notify my father immediately and ask him to gather his people and go to remedy the situation!"
Yuanyuan was scolded and was silent for a while. After she finished speaking, she revealed the truth. Her voice was sinister and made people's hair stand on end: "Miss, after I heard the loud noise of the collapse, I came closer.
Then... I saw a figure."
Jin Yunlan turned back sharply, his sharp eyes hitting her face covered with raindrops, and a thunderbolt happened to flash above her head, illuminating the bloodless faces of the two of them.
Chengwan continued: "I checked both sides of the collapsed river embankment. The breach did not appear to have been caused by a natural collapse, but rather seemed to have been broken by external forces. If my guess is correct, someone deliberately did it to target the young lady."
"How do you say this?" Jin Yunlan's voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard.
"Previously, Miss led everyone to carry out flood control work, and you were solely responsible for the construction of the temporary dam. It has only been completed for three days. Although the new person in charge is suspected of neglecting his duties, there is nothing wrong with the dam at this moment.
, the fault will still only be borne by you, Miss. You have finally been recognized by everyone. If this matter becomes big and the whole city knows it, wouldn't it mean that all the previous efforts have been in vain."
Jin Yunlan said quietly: "But if according to what you said, someone deliberately caused trouble. How can you blame me?"
Yuanyuan said sincerely: "Miss, this happened suddenly. Once the publicity is announced, repair work is imminent. It is a dark and windy night, who has time to care whether the collapsed part was maliciously pushed down, or whether you, Miss, had...
…Did you do things poorly that led to this mistake? Even if you defend yourself afterwards, people who don’t know the truth will only think that you are covering up your wrongdoing, and their trust in you will be greatly reduced.”
At this point, the two of them had arrived at the shore of the North-South Canal. In the pitch-black night, the tragic situation of the dam collapse was just as described by Perfect, and the river was gradually threatening to burst.
Jin Yunlan stopped and looked at Yuanyuan with implicit relief. She squeezed her shoulders hard and showed a tragic smile, "So Yuanyuan, she is becoming more alert. I understand what you said. But the fertile fields in Luo City are
Most of them are concentrated near the North and South Canals. Once the farmland is waterlogged, this year's harvest will inevitably suffer heavy losses. My personal reputation is important, but it is nothing compared to these ten thousand hectares of fertile farmland."
Yuanman persuaded: "But Miss, the collapsed part is only fifteen feet, and the rain is not heavy right now. If we can build a simple embankment with sandbags before dawn and survive this disaster, even if someone comes after dawn
We also have enough time to clarify the case if we raise an army to investigate. We only need to keep the doubts about the breach. When the day comes, we will ask the elders of the clan to come to see the justice, and we can still maintain our innocence."
Jin Yunlan still hesitated: "But this is too risky! We cannot risk the interests of the people. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."
Perfection was extremely anxious: "Miss! Don't you want to be the leader of the clan? The Li family is still waiting for you to rescue them. This is the first time you have shown yourself in public. If you get off to a bad start and lose your credibility, I'm afraid everything will not go smoothly in the future.
No one will trust you and let you take on such a big responsibility. The murderer must have had this idea, taking advantage of the dark and windy night to fish in troubled waters. He could escape unscathed, but Miss, you have made yourself embarrassed for no reason."
Jin Yunlan was a little shaken, but what Yuan Cheng said made perfect sense. This accident was probably directed at her. Someone saw that her smooth sailing was an eyesore, so they secretly caused trouble. But she had no intention of thinking about who was behind this at the moment.
The two paths in front of her made it difficult for her to choose.
She clenched her fists, and the joints even turned blue and white. She was extremely anxious inside, as if she had turned into an ant on a frying pan, not knowing how to break the situation.
A drop of rain flew into her eyes, and the blink of an eye was as long as the vast ocean.
"Where are the sandbags?"
Amidst the noisy rain, she clearly caught a cold and indifferent voice. She suddenly looked up and saw a green oil-paper umbrella appearing above her.
