The heavy rain came later than expected. By the time the heavy rain poured down between the sky and the earth, it was already dinner time. Standing under the eaves of the courtyard, looking up, everything was completely white, and you couldn't see anything more than ten feet away.
local scene.
What a heavy rain!
The weather finally cleared up a few days ago, but now it's all gone again.
After dinner, I returned to the study, but Yingning was not there. I took a look and found that she and Abao were together, and the two girls were playing chess.
Yingning was teaching Abao the rules of chess, and Abao was holding her chin up with interest, listening intently. When she learned that this new chessboard was "invented" by Brother Liuxian, she became even more immersed.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jianchen thought inexplicably: When the number of people in the family increases, the popular killer weapon "Mahjong" will have a chance to make its debut.
After a while, Chen Jianchen started doing his homework as usual, taking out a copy of "Rong Zhai Poems" from the bookshelf to read. Now he has no books to read, and he is considered to be well-read. In his spare time, he spent a lot of money to buy many books on the market.
Classics are placed in the study, covering everything from astronomy, geography, and human history.
Reading can make you realize that through a lot of reading, you will have a deeper understanding of the historical process and customs and landforms of this world. The unfamiliarity of a traveler will fade away, and you will almost completely integrate into another time and space.
The lights were bright, and about an hour later, Yingning came back. But she was thinking about her job as a book girl, and wanted to see if the young master had any orders.
Putting down the book, Chen Jianchen said: "Yingning, even if I want to write later, I will grind the ink myself."
Ying Ning stuck out his tongue and said, "Young master, are you trying to outdo me? Well, playing chess is just for entertainment, just for fun. You should let A Bao look at it more carefully, otherwise it will be boring to win."
Chen Jianchen couldn't help but burst into laughter when he looked at the little fox who looked up and looked like a master.
So, just like countless other nights, Yingning sat on the other side holding a book and reading with relish...
I don’t know what time it was, but there was still an endless rainstorm outside the window. Suddenly I heard a rapid cry, which came with the wind and rain. It was a little unclear, but the important message still reached my ears: "The embankment has broken.
…”
It has been rumored for a long time that the Jianjiang River embankment, which has been in a bad situation, did not survive the night and withstood the raging erosion of this rare heavy rain.
Chen Jianchen didn't know much about the embankments on both sides of the Jianjiang River, but the tragic situation of the river flooding thousands of miles after the embankment burst can directly be thought of as the people were displaced, the crops were reduced to nothing, the harvest was in vain, and they were unable to pay various taxes, which ultimately led to the people being destitute and becoming extremely poor.
, the only option is to come to the city to beg for food...
In natural disasters, the two often complement each other: and the people's requirements have always been simple. As long as they have a mouthful of food to eat, they will work peacefully at sunrise and rest at daybreak. But once they don't even have a mouthful of food,
, survival is a problem, then they will rise up without fear.
Therefore, no matter which state in the world, once a disaster occurs, the local government will be under great pressure. In order to deal with this pressure, the government will go across the sea and use all its abilities. Some time ago, the governor of Jiangzhou invited
Song Chong, the deputy gang leader of the Tiger and Leopard Alliance, came to the city as a co-manager, specifically responsible for maintaining public order after the disaster victims entered the city.
"Bang bang bang!"
Along with the shouts, gongs and drums were beaten in the rain. The noise was so loud that it was believed that it would spread throughout Jiangzhou City in less than half an hour.
Jiangzhou is going to be in chaos.
Chen Jianchen no longer had the intention to read, so he put down the book and raised his head to meet Ying Ning's clear eyes.
"Liu Xian, did you hear? The Jianjiang River embankment has burst."
At this time, Mo Sanniang, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened, got dressed, and went to the study to talk to Chen Jianchen.
Chen Jianchen nodded.
Mo Sanniang sighed: "It's God's fault... Well, if the government office raises donations tomorrow, we can help if we can." - Whenever there is a large-scale disaster and people are in distress all over the country, the government office will come out to help the whole country.
The city launched a fundraiser, asking wealthy families to contribute money and efforts, so as to distribute rice and porridge to the victims.
Chen Jianchen nodded: "Don't worry, mother, the child will get marks."
After another conversation, Mo Sanniang went back to sleep; then Yingning also returned to her room. By this time, the thunder and lightning had gradually subsided.
It was getting late, so Chen Jianchen stopped writing. After reading the last two pages, he turned out the lights, took off his coat and shoes, and went to sleep.
Lying on the bed, listening to the constant sound of wind and rain outside, I felt a little strange and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Cackling!
I don't know when, suddenly, there was an abnormal sound. Although it was somewhat blurry and diluted by the sound of wind and rain, Chen Jianchen, who was worried about something, could still hear it clearly. He opened his eyes and couldn't see clearly in the darkness, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction of the abnormal sound.
call!
Suddenly a strong wind blew in, making the whole study feel a little colder.
The window opens...
Chen Jianchen immediately made a judgment. At this moment, a dazzling light lit up outside the window, like the reflection of a sharp blade. The cold light flashed and slashed straight to the bed where he was. There was a thorny face!
Chen Jianchen's reaction was not unpleasant. He shrunk his body, flipped over and bounced out. In the dark, he could only rely on catching wind and shadows. Snap, he whipped his head back with a backhand. Bang!
His palm hit the opponent firmly, and based on the tentacles, he quickly deduced that it should be on the shoulder.
The assassin groaned, never expecting that a weak scholar on the other side would be so vigilant and react so quickly. Not only did he avoid his own sword, but he also jumped out and shot back. The force didn't seem to be weak, and he hit the shoulder.
There was a burst of pain and I was almost paralyzed.
Is the information wrong?
The assassin was filled with shock and anger, and he had no time to think too much in a short period of time. The sharp blade spun around and moved at a speed that was difficult to capture with incomparable precision.
laugh!
Although Chen Jianchen dodged quite quickly, he was still unable to outrun the opponent's sharp knife. His ribs felt cold, and his skin was cut open by the sharp blade, and he immediately felt blood flowing out.
He took a breath, threw himself on the ground, grabbed the chair where Ying Ning usually sat and read with his right hand, and threw it at the opponent with all his strength.
Fuck!
The chair was kicked away in an instant, and the cold light in the opponent's hand stabbed down quickly - the person seemed to be able to see in the dark. Even if he couldn't see as clearly as in the daytime, he could definitely pinpoint the position of Chen Jianchen's figure.
At the moment of life and death, Chen Jianchen was surprisingly calm. He rolled sideways, relied on his familiarity with the layout of the study room, and hid in the corner of the bookshelf. He reached for a handful of books and threw them all away. He didn't dare to throw away a few.
This book can throw down a highly skilled assassin with the sole purpose of confusing the opponent's sight.
During these rounds, Chen Jianchen couldn't squeeze out the time to shout for help, fearing that if he shouted for help, some irreparable flaws would occur in his body shape, and he would be destroyed.
Someone was stabbed with a knife.
Books flew and paper clattered.
With a quick flash of the knife in the guest's hand, the books were chopped into pieces, and scraps of paper flew everywhere. In fact, he was no less shocked than Chen Jianchen - he had found out clearly before he came that Chen Jianchen was just Minghua
A junior student in the college is a scholar. Although he is slightly stronger in stature, a scholar is a scholar. He can write and talk, but using his hands and feet is just a matter of slaps. He is familiar with the current confrontation between the two, and the other party is actually advancing and retreating.
There is evidence, there is no expected death with a knife, and there is no panic, screams and screams as imagined...
Judging from the round just now, Chen Jianchen actually looks like he has practiced martial arts.
"Unfortunately, I wanted to kill this guy with one knife so I could go back and drink, but now I have to waste a lot of time. If other people in his family are shocked, I will have to kill him, and there will be a big annihilation... It doesn't matter if I annihilate the whole family.
, Just spread the word that our green forest stone beast will kill a scholar with a second blow, so there is no reason to make Big Brother and the others laugh!"
The assassin's eyes flashed, but he was a thief who killed without blinking an eye. In a blink of an eye, he made up his mind and no longer hurriedly drew out the sword. Instead, he pressed forward step by step, with the sword in hand, to force Chen Jianchen into the room.
In the corner, when there is nowhere to hide, he will kill him with one blow.
Eat! At this moment, the assassin felt the door of the room being opened from the outside. Looking back suddenly, he saw a tall and handsome figure rushing in. It was the book boy who was a scholar. He actually heard a strange noise and rushed over.
That's fine, just come and kill one more.
With a fierce look in his eyes, the assassin abandoned Chen Jianchen and turned around with a beautiful "turning back to look at the moon" and stabbed him viciously. This unexpected move is one of his proud killing moves. I believe that the next moment, the book boy can be killed.
His heart was pierced, but the next moment, his eyes flashed, and the figure of the book boy suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and the sharp knife only pierced into a mass of nothingness.
what happened?
Before the assassin had time to think, a small hand suddenly appeared from the air and grabbed his throat without any interruption, just like pinching a duck that had no ability to resist.
Peng!
The assassin's slender body was lifted up completely, his feet lifted off the ground, and he couldn't use any strength. Then he was hit hard on the ground by the opponent's backhand like a piece of rag.
Stars were shining in his eyes, his chest was depressed, the assassin was spinning, and he couldn't get up even with half his salary. Bang!
There was a crisp sound, and he was kicked on the back again. The assassin could no longer hold on, his vision went dark, and he passed away.
The oil lamp was relit, and the light emitted, reflecting the situation in the entire study, which was chaotic and embarrassing. Chen Jianchen held up the lamp. Although there was still blood seeping out of his ribs and dyeing his clothes red, he stood still as if he was very stable.
Very straight. His eyes met with Ying Ning's, and he saw that the little fox's hair was a little disheveled, his jade face was glowing with an angry red color, his teeth were biting the red chun, and he was stepping firmly on the assassin's back. He wanted to kick him.
After trampling the opponent to pieces, even a pair of small hands were tightly clenched into fists and trembling slightly, in order to control his excited emotions to avoid directly killing the assassin. Chen Jianchen has never seen Ying Ning since he met him.
