Si Yi was very lucky, so it would be great if he was willing to help.
"His name is Chu Feng."
Si Qi stood up and wrote two words on the table with a pen and paper.
Si Yi carefully wrote down the two words and asked, "Do you know his age and background? I can help you find him."
"I don't know his age or background."
After thinking for a while, Si Qi took out many portraits he had drawn in his spare time these days from the drawer.
He used the sketching method to draw Chu Feng vividly, as if he jumped onto the paper.
The age range covered ranged from teenagers to forties and fifties, and Chu Feng was smiling in every picture, handsome and majestic.
Si Yi's eyes fell on the paper, and his pupils shrank slightly.
He is Si Qi's disciple. He has heard Si Qi say many times that when painting, one should pay attention to capturing the emotions of the characters and at the same time integrate one's own emotions into the painting.
So Si Yi could see at a glance the deep tenderness that the painter had for the person he painted
, as well as the soft and tangible yearning that came over his face. Especially the person in the painting feels the same way about the painter...
Si Yi's fingers clenched unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the man in the painting.
The gentleman actually painted so many portraits of this man in private. Who is he? And... on what basis?
"Sir, is he your friend? He looks very close to you." Si Yi said deliberately.
Si Qi selected a portrait of Chu Feng who was about twenty years old and gave it to Si Yi, shaking his head: "No, it's a family member."
Si Yi remembered that there were several faces in the portrait who were at least forty or fifty years old, and somehow felt a little expectant: "Is it your elder?"
Si Qi glanced at Si Yi and vaguely caught something wrong in Si Yi's tone.
He explained seriously, "She's my lover."
Si Yi's hand holding the drawing paper trembled slightly. She quickly lowered her head to hide her emotions and whispered, "Sir, when did you look for her...the students don't know."
Si Qi frowned slightly and his voice became a little lighter, "I have been with him for many years. It's normal that you don't know."
Si Yi was angry why she was born so late. Her heart ached, "Then...how did we separate?"
Si Qi was helpless, "He lost his memory, didn't remember me, and couldn't take the initiative to find me. Besides, I don't know who he is or where he is now."
Si Yi was stunned when he heard it.
Lost his memory, whereabouts unknown, missing for many years...
With these words repeated in his mind, Si Yi suddenly asked: "Then sir, you went out every few days before. Did you go to look for Mr. Chu?"
Si Qi paused slightly and carefully observed Si Yi's expression.
The little boy had nowhere to hide under the gaze of the master, and his cheeks became redder and redder.
The experience of being abused in childhood and being beaten with stones by villagers out of fear and disgust left a deep psychological shadow on Si Yi.
He is wary of people, has both self-esteem and inferiority complex, and cannot accept others approaching him from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he is particularly lacking in love, craving for warmth and hoping to be saved.
This is why he ran away that night after being rescued by Si Yu. This is also the reason why, after he became successful and famous as the emperor, he did not forget the kindness he showed several years ago, and relied on his vague memory to find Si Yu and repay him.
Si Qi is the only one who knows his specific identity, is willing to fight against the entire court for him, does not care about his deformed and terrifying appearance, and is always gentle to him.
He gave him all the respect he deserves as a human being, and gave him the power that many people cannot even dream of. He recognized him to take revenge and always stood behind him.
It is difficult for Si Yi not to regard Si Qi as the most important existence in his life, and this importance can even override his life.
Maybe this idea lasted for a long time, and the boy's desire slowly turned into possession. He didn't want his teacher to have someone more important than him as a student.
For a moment, Si Qi even suspected that the reason he couldn't find Chu Feng for such a long time was because of the lucky Son of the World.
But he quickly gave up the idea.
He and Si Yi have been together for many years and know the character of this child. He is not the kind of person who will ignore the feelings of those he cares about because of his own selfish desires.
He may be overbearing, but he will never be selfish.
If what Si Qi wants to do will make him feel very painful, he will definitely endure the pain and respect Si Qi's wishes in the end.
So Si Qi rubbed the boy's head and said to him: "Sir, I did go to look for him when I was out, but more often, I was looking for usable plants to save the people of Qiu Dynasty and fulfill your wish."
The boy looked at Si Qi with wet eyes, his voice a little hoarse: "Then, sir, if you still haven't found him when I grow up, can I..."
"No." Si Qi smiled and talked to the child, but his words were particularly cruel: "You have to be good, understand."
Si Yi lowered his head, like a little beast that had lost a battle, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xiu Xiu secretly looked at the Shura field in front of him.
After so many years of getting along, the soft-hearted Xiu Xiu's attitude towards the Son of the World is much better than at the beginning.
Xiu Xiu likes everyone who is good to his master, so he doesn't dislike Si Yi.
Seeing Si Yi like this, Xiu Xiu muttered something, half true and half false: [Another poor little one who was rejected by his master]
Si Qi laughed dumbly: [Why, you can't bear to part with him? ]
[No] Xiu Xiu muttered: [I just think that the Son of the World is not annoying]
[Well] Si Qi didn't say much.
[And have you noticed, ] Xiu Xiu said: [Maybe it's because you like people like the Lord God, so the Son of the World has been consciously growing in the direction you like]
Sometimes, if you don't look at the other person's appearance, Xiu Xiu almost thought that the person talking to his master was the Lord God.
Si Qi heard Xiu Xiu's reminder, and after thinking about it carefully, he was surprised: [It's true]
At first, he admired the Son of the World because of the qualities of the Son of the World.
But why did he admire him? In the final analysis, it was because he liked people like this. And the person who best suited his preferences was Chu Feng.
Si Qi himself couldn’t even tell whether it was Chu Feng that Si Qi fell in love with first, and that’s why he particularly preferred people with that kind of personality, or whether it was Chu Feng that Si Qi liked because he liked people with that kind of personality.
After realizing this, Si Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: [No wonder I was always soft-hearted towards this little guy, gave him those drugs, and showed so many flaws in front of him… It turns out that I thought he was a bit like Chu Feng.]
Thinking in a more detailed direction, why did the person walk to his bed, but he wasn’t awake yet, and why did he mistake the person for Chu Feng when he was half asleep and half awake.
Isn’t it because of this?
Si Qi held his forehead with one hand: [Really…]
It’s been such a short time since he found Chu Feng, and he actually subconsciously found a “substitute”.
It seems that he has to stay away from this little guy.
The result of the little guy revealing his thoughts is that he was sent by Si Qi to follow the county magistrate's men to deliver emergency food to the counties and cities that were short of food, and to instruct them to grow crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.
These counties and cities were the places that lent a hand to Liang Province when Liang Province was short of food.
They were also the people who shared the same ideals as the county magistrate and wrote to him to tell him about Si Qi's deeds. These people had the same idea as the county magistrate, so when the county magistrate and others decided to fight against the Da Qiu Dynasty, the first thing they had to do was to get more help, and at the same time repay the kindness they had shown and help them overcome the increasingly difficult difficulties.
Si Yi's intervention was still necessary.
If you want to rebel, you have to have a leader.
This leader is particularly suitable for Si Yi, both in public and private.
First, he is Mr. Si's disciple, and it is legitimate for him to bring all kinds of good things to everyone. Second, he is the chosen son of heaven, born to be good at rebellion, and knows how to win people's hearts and capture key information. Third... he is the prince of the Qiu Dynasty, and he is orthodox. The resistance he encounters after the rebellion will be less than that of others. Many court officials heard that this person came from the royal family, at least they would not feel so awkward in their hearts, and they would be more justified to shout slogans of surrender.
Si Yi was pushed to the front unwillingly with a wronged mentality of being abandoned by the master.
He is indeed very suitable for doing these things.
In the original world line, he had a look that made people fear and repel him. He relied on himself to slowly figure out and learn everything, but he could still win people's hearts.
Now, with the addition of many halos, the effect he can achieve will be hundreds of times stronger than that in the original world line.
When he saw Si Qi again and sat down with Si Qi face to face to drink tea and chat, it was just the beginning of spring in the second year.
He became taller than before, his body shape became more and more mature, and his temperament changed from the original reserved and humble to confident and capable. Si Qi was amazed by Si Yi's rapid growth. Of course
, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
This person doesn't look like him, his body shape doesn't look like him, and his voice doesn't look like him, but his temperament and speaking style are really...
When he first walked in, Si Qi almost thought he had seen Chu Feng.
Did he accidentally turn his apprentice into his sweetheart? I hope Chu Feng won't be too angry when he sees him in the future.
After seeing Si Qi, Si Yi bowed respectfully, greeted him, and asked about Si Qi's well-being. His words were measured and he didn't overstep the mark.
Even Si Qi couldn't tell what the other person was really thinking for a while.
That's why they say this kid is growing too fast.
In the end, it was Si Yi who spoke first and mentioned Chu Feng.
He didn't even complain about "Why did the teacher send me away?" He smiled and said, "Students have been looking for Mr. Chu everywhere, but unfortunately there is no clue."
Si Qi: "Really?"
Si Yi carefully observed Si Qi's reaction: "The teacher doesn't seem to be in a hurry?"
Si Qi blew a sip of hot tea: "Anxious."
It's just that he asked Xiu Xiu to follow Si Yi and pay attention to whether Si Yi would encounter any troubles and inform him in time if anything happened, so he knew whether Si Yi went to find Chu Feng and whether he found Chu Feng.
At this moment, after listening to Si Yi repeating it again, he didn't feel much.
Si Yi saw that Si Qi said he was anxious, but in fact he didn't seem to care much, and he felt relieved.
Putting aside the most worrying things in his heart, Si Yi brought Si Qi many things that he thought were novel and interesting when he went out this time. The things were not precious, but they were thoughtful. After Si Qi took a look at the things introduced by his apprentice, he really liked many of them and played with them in his hands.
Si Yi looked at his master with a smile. All the sadness and hardships encountered on the road disappeared at this moment.
Everything was worth it.
The master and apprentice talked, drank tea, and ate cakes in the house with floor heating. There was no sign of estrangement after being apart for many days.
Si Yi slowly recounted his experiences during this period: "...wheat bran mixed with grass is fed to cattle and sheep. The students told them what the teacher taught, and they said that they will hatch more chickens and ducks next year."
"This winter is colder than in previous years. Fortunately, after receiving material support, various places have responded properly. Few elderly people and children have been frozen to death."
"The situation in various places is worse than in previous years. Many people almost can't make it. Fortunately, there is the teacher..."
"Everyone is very grateful to you."
Si Qi shook his head: "You did all this, don't put all the credit on me."
Si Qi has heard Xiu Xiu say this many times. Every time this kid goes out and does something, he always likes to talk and talk. As a result, people in some places are more grateful to him who has never shown up than to Si Yi who does practical things.
Si Qi doesn't dislike being thanked, but in the future when the rebellion breaks out, it will be Si Yi who will become the emperor, and it will also be Si Yi who needs to build momentum.
Si Yi looked at the teacher tenderly: "But the student can have what he has today, all because of you."
Si Qi: "…………"
No, even without him, this man can still make remarkable achievements, but the process will be much more difficult, and the people will suffer.
Si Qi saw that Si Yi's eyes were firm, and he refused to change his mind no matter how much he repeated it, so he could only give up persuading him.
"I asked you to come this time because I found that the water level of the river coming from the north is higher than in previous years." Si Qi said: "The ice in the river melts in spring, and there is a lot of rainfall. I am worried that there will be heavy rain there, and we need to be prepared in advance."
In this season of declining fortune, the slightest disturbance will lead to a huge disaster. A rise in temperature will lead to a drought, heavy rainfall will lead to a flood, and a slight epidemic will lead to a plague.
Si Qi cannot use the means of the Pi Gua in this world. All he can do is observe more and take early precautions. Whenever he notices that something is wrong, he will send food, supplies, and technology, anyway, save people first.
When Si Qi was observing the life trajectory of the Son of the World, he noticed that several major events had occurred. One was that the people of Liang Province were forced into a desperate situation and rebelled with the Son of the World; the other was that torrential rains occurred in Jiang Province in the north for several days, and the rain flooded all the cities along the river, drowning countless people.
After more than a month, the flood receded, and corpses floated everywhere along the water. The rotting corpses bred bacteria, and people's lack of drinking water led to a decline in immunity, which eventually caused the subsequent plague. People infected with the plague and the corpses carrying the bacteria went down the river. The water flow perfectly avoided the capital area. The victims were forced to drive away from the prosperous provinces and eventually entered other areas, resulting in...
Si Qi did not continue to recall, and said to Si Yi: "You go ahead and remind the officials there to prepare countermeasures in advance, the sooner the better."
Si Yi recalled the location of Jiang Province, which was very far away from Liang Province. If they rode fast, they could barely get there in about half a month.
He agreed immediately: "Students will prepare manpower and supplies now."
Seeing Si Yi's reaction, Si Qi was very pleased: "Okay, go."
After thinking about it, he added: "I will go there a little later."
Si Yi showed a big smile on his face, this time it was sincere: "Students will try their best to solve the problem and will not let the teacher worry too much."
...
When Si Yi traveled all the way to Jiang Province under the stars and the moon, it was indeed raining heavily there. And the surging river water had broken the river bank and poured into the city.
It is normal for the people here to have a lot of rainfall in spring. At first, no one took it seriously.
Later, a passing sorcerer kindly reminded that this place was about to become a death zone and asked everyone to leave as soon as possible.
We were all born and raised here, how could we just leave after hearing someone say so? Except for the county governor, who was a little worried, no one else took it too seriously - or rather, they subconsciously didn't dare to take it to heart.
Later, it rained for seven or eight days in a row, and the raindrops were getting bigger and bigger, and falling faster and faster. Some farmers looked at the rice seedlings that they had planted with great difficulty and felt worried. People began to worry about this annoying weather and just hoped that the rain would stop.
However, the continuous rainy days were like an unforgettable nightmare. People could only watch the rain getting heavier and heavier, making it impossible to dry clothes no matter what. The house was filled with gurgling water vapor. The sound of the river water rolling was so obvious that it seemed to hit their ears. Then when they woke up, the floor of the house was wet with rain.
Everyone felt that the situation was getting bad, and they ran to the shore to see that the water level of the river had risen several times deeper than before. A wave could directly drown a person's head!
County officials from all over the country asked everyone to put down their work immediately, and sent people to rush to the capital for help, while asking everyone to move stones to block them on the shore.
At this time, people were very powerless in the face of natural disasters, and they always had a sense of luck in their hearts.
They watched helplessly as the water flowed from the soles of their feet to their ankles, and then from their ankles all the way up to their knees. They did not even consider escaping, but still begged God for mercy, hoping that the rain would stop.
Many elderly people and children who were in poor health and had difficulty walking were the first to fall ill. The continuous rainy days made the temperature drop very low. The cold climate, the humid water vapor, and the sky without any sunshine made people feel uneasy when they were trapped at home and could not go out.
The county commander had shouted that it would be best for everyone to leave here, but no one listened. They left. What would they eat on the way? Where would they live? Where would they settle down? Who would give them land? If it wasn't absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to leave.
This was the situation Si Yi faced when he came over.
The water was almost up to their thighs, but they still gritted their teeth and held on. Should we say that these people are brave, or that their lives in this country are too hard and they can't even afford the slightest change.
Si Yi stopped his screaming horse on the steps of the government office, showed the letter of introduction from the governor of Liang Province, and went straight to the governor of Jiang Province and others.
Several of the officials had heard of the names of Si Qi and his apprentice, and they highly praised the ability of Si Yi to the governor of Jiang Province. The governor of Jiang Province did not consider Si Yi's age at this time. He thanked him for rushing to the rescue in times of crisis and asked Si Yi what he could do.
Si Yi was not polite and said seriously: "The first and most important thing is to organize a team to deal with the flood."
"I would like to trouble the county governor and all the other lords to establish the following teams: the first is the logistics team, which will prepare food, herbs and other supplies to ensure that they will not be washed away or damaged by the flood; the second is the rescue team, which will save the people who have fallen into the water or are trapped in a certain place and cannot leave, and provide timely treatment for the sick and injured; the third is the communication team, from the province, city, county, village to the street, select one person to conduct a daily headcount, issue many orders from above, and upload the disaster situation in various places to ensure that there will be no situation where a place is suddenly flooded and no one knows about it; the fourth is the security team. When a disaster strikes, there will always be people who disobey orders and act recklessly. , □□ plunder. In order to prevent this behavior from slowly evolving into a collective riot, it is necessary to curb the signs of such incidents and suppress them immediately if anything goes wrong, otherwise the people will easily panic and scatter in fear; the fifth is to ask for help and remind the team that all counties along the river will be affected by the disaster in the future and need to be informed in advance, and the evacuation routes of the people in Jiang Province need to be prepared in advance. If we can get human and material assistance from other provinces, it would be great..."
The young man stood in the middle of a group of officials with an average age of more than 40 years old. He spoke clearly in a clear and calm voice without haste, and with an unspeakable power, he quickly calmed down the panicked and anxious people.
Everyone listened carefully to the young man's speech, and the more they listened, the more they felt that his words made sense, and they nodded repeatedly unconsciously.
"Please give me a topographic map of the area, with the direction of the river and the terrain marked on it. We need to determine the evacuation route in advance, the sooner the better."
An official heard the request of the ceremonial officer, and without even telling his subordinates standing by, he ran to the study room in the back.
The rest of the people divided the work one by one according to the many things the ceremonial officer had just mentioned.
It was extremely important to appease the people at this time. The county governor and the county magistrates expressed their willingness to personally walk around the places and call on everyone to leave, otherwise some people would rather die here than die...
Soon, the map was delivered. Geographical knowledge is tested in the imperial examinations, and officials assigned to such places are mostly of commoner origin and have no backing. Unlike those children of the rich and powerful who get their jobs through backdoors, they get their official positions through real ability.
Even though this group of people were limited in knowledge by the times and didn't know much, they were definitely very smart. They understood the geographical situation and knew that water flows to lower places. They analyzed and calculated the soil conditions in different places and quickly figured out where the disaster would happen and where to go to get rid of the flood the fastest without encountering too many dangers on the way.
After several discussions, everyone came to a conclusion.
Seeing that everyone was about to go their separate ways to do their own work, the ceremonial officer bowed to all the adults at this time, "Natural disasters are not terrible, human power can certainly overcome nature, and I'll have to trouble you all next."
Everyone took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the person in front of them, and said solemnly: "You're welcome, young sir."
Everyone dispersed on the spot, and every official who left had a feeling in his heart - this time things went too smoothly, too quickly, and too organized.
No wonder it is said that this is the disciple of Mr. Si who is said to be a god, he is indeed extraordinary.
The author has something to say:
Happy May Day ~ More updates at noon!
