The torrential downpour lasted all night, and only gradually subsided after daybreak.

"Sister, where's Mom? Oh...water's flooding the jar!"

"Let Sister push it away... Mother has covered it with a lot of things... Is there anyone there? Mother..."

"Uncle Qi, listen, there's a sound."

"It should be Xiaolian's brother and sister."

When Xiaolian stood up from the jar, she discovered that her thatched hut had been completely blown away by the strong wind. Except for the stove, most of the surrounding area was submerged. The jar where she and her brother were hiding was also mostly submerged.

My mother and the two lambs in the family have long disappeared.

Xiaolian felt a sudden sense of panic for no reason.

There are many families like Xiaolian's. Her house is built on a relatively high place. If it were lower, even the roof beams would be flooded.

Xiaolian has never been so powerful since she can remember.

Even the tallest building in the village was submerged by the flood, leaving only the main ridge. Branches and straw floated on the water, and every now and then one could see a drowned ox!

Even corpses!

How could a young girl like her bear such a blow? She burst into tears. As she cried, her younger brother also cried loudly with her!

Uncle Qi didn't say much. He carried A-di on his back, pulled Xiaolian, and went up the slope.

At this time, the high slope was crowded with people and livestock, as well as some belongings that could be brought out in time.

Xiaolian and her brother thought their mother was there, so they called out several times but got no response.

Some people commented: "It's all because of the foolish emperor that he came to Xiyun County and brought disaster with him!"

"Don't do anything foolish, or the tyrant emperor might hear you and cut off your tongue."

"Whether he can survive until tomorrow is still unknown. If he dares to come here, I will chop off the tyrant's head."

"Who can compare to you when it comes to talking? In my opinion, the most practical thing to do is to find a way to get to Xiyun County once the rain stops. All our pots, pans, and food have been washed away by the flood. Baili Tang can't let us starve to death, right? After all, we are his people!"

How easy is it to go to Xiyun County at this time?

Baili Tang has sneezed countless times. I counted on my fingers, and I think many people are cursing me, right?

Oh, it’s difficult for the emperor!

He approved Meng Fang's request and ordered Imperial Physician Lu to buy all the herbal medicines in the county first, to prevent some shops from deliberately hiding them and driving up prices.

He also ordered Lord Wang and others to buy rice and flour to make large quantities of rice cakes, buns, and steamed buns. Soldiers with nothing to do were sent to Jia Shidao's house, where there was enough space for them to make the food.

Jia Shidao's family had already been thrown into prison. Honestly, Yu Tang, a modern man, couldn't possibly do something like imprisoning nine generations of his family. Let's keep them all locked up for now.

As for the gold, silver and treasures in Jia Shidao's secret room, Baili Tang will not tell anyone except those guards for the time being.

Liang Qiuyu, who was kind-hearted, naturally went to the kitchen to help. Wherever she was, Baili Tang was there.

In Xiyun County, the flood has already reached the lower areas. If there is another torrential downpour like last night, with more than ten hours of continuous heavy rain, this area will not be spared.

The floodwaters also reached the front of Liangjiazhuang, but did not enter the village. As for the surrounding rice fields and low earthen slopes, they were reduced to a vast ocean.

Liang Qiuyu wanted to go back, but she couldn't. She wanted to call His Majesty, who was looking at her belly, to come over and help her knead the dough, but His Majesty was too noble to do such rough work, so she had to give up.

I just can't understand why Your Majesty cares about his belly. He is chubby and looks quite blessed!

A young palace maid whispered, "Your Majesty treats everyone except the late queen with indifference..."

Another young palace maid sternly warned: "Don't mention this matter, watch out for the head on your neck!"

They were both carefully selected to serve Baili Tang, and they knew all too well the capricious nature of his majesty. His majesty had been struck by lightning, and his temper had improved for a few days, but there was no guarantee he would change again... In short, even though Concubine Liang was favored at the moment, she could be banished to the cold palace any day.

Even in the cold palace... Baili Tang would not take her back to the palace after a while because he got tired of her.

Baili Tang heard this, but why did he have no memory of the late queen? He only remembered that since the late queen's death, Baili Tang had not appointed a new queen. He just couldn't remember why.

Thinking too deeply about it, his head started to ache badly. Obviously, he didn't want to think about that woman.

Liang Qiuyu, who was kneading dough for buns, also heard it. She had also heard about what happened to His Majesty in the past, and she couldn't help but look at Baili Tang with concern.

If it weren't for what happened back then, His Majesty wouldn't be like this today. Hmm... no, she didn't dislike His Majesty now.

It was noon. The dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and the rain gradually stopped. Occasionally, a light rain would fall every half an hour. Meng Fang had already led his men on a purposeless search and rescue operation.

It has been a few days since I came to this world, and Baili Tang’s evaluation can be summed up in two words: boring.

He found that the ancients had little entertainment.

In the past, even when there was a typhoon, internet celebrities would go and film the typhoon in order to grab traffic, and the videos were even more impressive than those taken by reporters.

Just by watching some short videos like this, the whole day will pass happily.

As for the meaning!

Don't talk to me about such heavy topics!

"Who are you?"

"I'm Qiuyu... Concubine Liang's uncle... Qiuyu, save Erhu!" The man outside panted, exhausted. However, he was more worried about the person on his back.

"Uncle Liang Li?!"

Hearing the anxious voice, Liang Qiuyu rushed out immediately and saw Erhu's father, Liang Li, carrying the unconscious Erhu on his back: "What happened to Erhu?"
