"A Zhi? What are you..." She called out in surprise, extremely surprised that he would appear at her critical moment.
But somehow, as soon as he appeared, all those worries in my heart suddenly disappeared.
Li Zhi glanced sideways at her with unclear emotions, and silently moved the handle of the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to hers. Then he rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to go. He calmly walked towards the opposite side.
Chengwanman asked again, "Where are the sandbags nearby?"
Yuanman hurriedly replied: "The dock! There is it in the warehouse of the dock! And it's not far from here."
Li Zhi raised his face and said concisely and concisely: "Lead the way."
Jin Yunlan looked at the two figures who were already running away, and then he abandoned the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and followed them.
At that moment she realized that Li Zhi looked calm and calm on the outside, but in fact he was burning with a blazing fire inside, decisive and straightforward.
The three of them came to the dock and opened the door lock of the warehouse. Mountains of sandbags came into view. When the three of them walked in, they felt as if they were surrounded by mountains.
"There are still three hours until dawn, hurry up and do it." After Li Zhi said this, he easily picked up four bags of sandbags and threw them on the cart nearby. After the cart was full, he handed the handle to Yuanman and let him
She used the cart to deliver the sandbags to the site and then returned to continue transporting them.
Then he gave an order to Jin Yunlan: "Jin Yunlan, use your escape speed and transport all the sandbags on this wall to the river embankment before dawn."
"What about you?" she asked.
Li Zhi turned around and walked to the other wall, put his hand on a clean sandbag, and said calmly: "I am responsible for these two walls."
"Give me another half, I can do it." Seeing that his workload had doubled, Jin Yunlan intended to help lighten his burden, but he refused, "Stop talking nonsense and do it quickly."
"Oh." She obeyed obediently, stopped arguing with him, picked up the sandbag and ran away.
Li Zhi grabbed four bags of sandbags and held each corner in his hand. He easily picked up eight sandbags and hurried to the place where the dam collapsed.
Fortunately, the dock was not far from the collapse site. The three of them came and went without even saying hello or greeting each other.
The distance of fifteen feet is neither long nor short. With the concerted efforts of the three of them, the foundation of the bottom layer was soon laid, followed by the second layer of sandbags in an hour before dawn.
The stacking is completed. The third layer, the fourth layer...the speed is constantly accelerating.
This was possible thanks to Li Zhi's generous participation.
The rain was not as inhumane as Jin Yunlan predicted. As it approached dawn, it became much lighter. By then, the three of them were soaked to the skin.
Yuanyuan leaned against a solid and heavy sandbag wall, holding an umbrella and panting.
After Jin Yunlan finished the last work in hand, he straightened up and looked for Li Zhi's figure.
He was bent over, covering his head and working hard in front of him. The river water soaked his shoes and clothes. So he simply took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, picked up the black clothes and stuffed them casually into his belt.
, leaving half of his legs soaked in the mud and water.
Three hours of hard work finally made him feel a little tired. He sat on the sandbag and breathed heavily in the dense rain, letting the raindrops pass across the tall bridge of his nose and drip down from the tip of his nose.
Jin Yunlan quietly walked to him and sat down next to him. She took out a handkerchief that had been wrung out several times and wiped the dense raindrops on his face. She did not forget to thank you: "Thank you for your hard work. If you hadn't arrived in time,
, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to get through this difficulty.”
Li Zhi glanced at her lazily, took the handkerchief from her hand, and wiped his face. His tone was lukewarm. Exhaustion made his voice hoarse: "No need. I just don't want to owe you any favors."
"What kind of favor?" Jin Yunlan tilted her head and asked in a puzzled manner.
Li Zhi covered his face with a handkerchief, quite shy, "It's from lychee."
Hearing this, Jin Yunlan couldn't help but laugh, "I thought Lychee's favor had been repaid the night I had a fever."
She maliciously pulled his hand that was deliberately hiding her face to catch his eyes: "What about the favor of chestnut cake and salt-baked chicken?" she asked.
Li Zhi glanced at her lightly: "Don't push yourself too far."
Jin Yunlan smiled brightly, quietly sat a little closer, and carefully brushed his fallen hair behind his ears.
He didn't avoid it.
Yuanyuan was hiding not far away, biting his handkerchief, looking at the embarrassed but beautiful backs, and couldn't help but sigh: If Master Baitan sees this scene, I'm afraid the entire Junmei Mountain will be torn down.
.
When the east was turning white, there was the sound of criss-crossing footsteps near the embankment. As if facing a formidable enemy, Wanwan stood on tiptoe to look at a group of figures running from a distance. She quickly ran back a few steps, and rushed towards someone who was still "flirting and scolding".
In front of the pretty two people, he said angrily: "Someone is coming!"
Li Zhi stood up slowly and walked away from them without saying a word.
It was tacitly understood by everyone that he could not stay here.
Jin Yunlan quietly looked at his disappearing figure in the misty rain, her eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance. She put her hands behind her, lowered her towering shoulders as if she had made up her mind, and looked at her with gleaming eyes.
Next to Yuanman: "Wanman, do you think it's possible for me and A Zhi?"
Yuanman was startled at first, and then let out a completely disapproving sneer. Because it sounded so offensive, Jin Yunlan gave her a hard look.
Yuan Chengcheng replied: "If marriage is compared to an exam, the full score is ten. In your current situation, you probably have..."
"How many points are there?" Jin Yunlan asked excitedly.
Wanwanman's eyes rolled around, which whetted her appetite. Seeing that she was getting a little annoyed by the waiting, she said in one breath: "Minus 10,000 points!"
Jin Yunlan immediately dropped his head and said, "However, I always feel that he has no intention of me, otherwise he would not take the risk and come down the mountain to help me."
Yuanyuan stretched out a finger and waved it left and right in front of her, as if he was a bystander and said wisely, "Wrong, wrong, wrong. What's standing in front of you is not a lack of understanding, but a stance. Miss, you are going to be the leader of the clan. Jinyun and
Li's relationship is bad, and you can only change it after you become the clan leader. If someone knew about your private relationship in advance, would you still have a chance to compete? Let alone talk about marriage with him. "
What Yuanyuan said was absolutely correct. At that time, her father was rushing to arrange a marriage for her just to pave the way for her, so as to block the mouths of the elders in the clan. Before the overall situation was decided, her relationship with the Li family was exposed. Not only did she do
If you don't become the leader of the clan, you will be regarded as a traitor to the clan.
For the sake of the overall situation, before taking the position of clan leader, she had to endure the humiliation and maintain an apparent distance from the Li family.
She thought hard for a while, and suddenly a bright light flashed through her mind, and her gloomy face suddenly brightened up, "Those elders are just afraid that I will be burdened by family affairs and have no time to take care of family affairs, so I can declare my celibacy to the outside world. When the matter is done,
After that, I will marry him on the pretext of consolidating the friendship between the two races. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
Yuan Cheng nodded seriously, as if he was sincerely praising her good idea, but his tone was cruel and harsh, "Yes, yes, yes, Miss, you are right. But you can afford to wait, can Li Zhi wait? The patriarch is in the prime of his life.
But Miss, you are still young. Even if the clan leader intends to abdicate as soon as possible, the elders of the clan will never agree to hand over the entire Luo City to a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. It will inevitably have to wait until you have experienced hundreds of battles and gained rich experience.
Only then will we be entrusted with important tasks. By then, are you sure that Li Zhi is still alive? Have you forgotten that Li Zhi will not live to be thirty?"
When Jin Yunlan heard the last sentence, she couldn't bear to close her eyes. Her smile and hope were swept away in an instant, and she fell into a bottomless melancholy. Her spirit and shoulders collapsed together, and she sat down listlessly.
On the sandbag.
In my spare time, I also read similar story books. The male and female protagonists who were on opposite sides still failed to achieve enlightenment after going through hardships and overcoming obstacles. When I saw the ending of them being separated from each other or being separated forever, I just felt a lot of confusion in my heart.
If you feel a little sad, you will forget all about it in just one meal.
Now that I have encountered this incident, I realize how sad it is.
Wanwanwan was still chattering her warning words, but her tone was much softer than the direct cruelty before, "Miss, there are many difficulties at the moment, let alone the tense relationship between Li and Jinyun. These repeated frame-ups,
You have to be vigilant. In the past, you have been very cautious and only acted at night. But judging from this incident, the Great Elder has eyes and hands all over the sky. Although he is not in the city, he may have his eyes and ears in the city.
We have to be careful, we need to be more careful in the future, and we have to go to empty mountains less often."
Jin Yunlan blocked her tired eyes. The moment darkness came, distressed thoughts instantly invaded her mind. Many pictures and fragments flashed before her eyes, leaving her at a loss for what to do and helpless.
The flood control brigade arrived quickly, and the leader was Chen Yin, the person in charge who took over from Jin Yunlan to follow up on flood control matters. He wore a bamboo hat and a raincoat, wrapping his not-burly figure tightly, for fear that
Even though he was hit by a drop of rain, it still couldn't cover up the overwhelming smell of alcohol on his body.
Looking at the blush on his face, it was obvious that he was too hungover last night and fell asleep somewhere. No wonder the lightning and thunder all night did not wake him up at all.
Now that he saw the tragic situation here, the back of his head felt numb. He ran back and forth between the collapsed embankments in panic. After confirming that the collapse was not caused by flood impact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuanyuan stepped forward to explain the cause and effect to him. It didn't take the person in charge much time to go from nodding and bowing at first to becoming confident later. He even finally walked up to Jin Yunlan, talked to her self-righteously, and said with a smile on his face: "
Don’t worry, Miss, I will never tell anyone about this."
Jin Yunlan looked at him in disbelief, and said angrily: "I don't know, what are you referring to?" This chapter has been completed!
