Chapter 456: The Little Carp is Really Clingy
Tang Li looked at the yamen runner and said, "You go down first."
"Yes, ma'am."
The bailiff left the yard and was about to leave when he was stopped by a voice.
"Brother officer."
The bailiff looked at her.
"Brother officer, which village was flooded?" Qiuyue asked timidly, with worry in her eyes.
"Chenjia Village." said the bailiff.
After the bailiff finished speaking, Qiuyue's face turned pale.
Chenjia Village was flooded, and her parents, elder sister, younger brother, and grandmother...
Are they okay? What's going on now?
Qiuyue leaned against the wall and managed to stand still.
They must be okay.
Tang Li walked around the yard twice, telling herself that nothing must have happened to her husband, and he must have been delayed by something.
A village was flooded, and her husband must be busy rescuing and settling the victims, so he didn't come back so late.
However, she still couldn't stop worrying.
Tangli picked up an umbrella, held it open, and went out.
"Madam, let me hold the umbrella for you." Qiuyue took the umbrella from Tangli and said.
The master and servant came to the gate of the yard.
It was windy and rainy outside, and it was night, so it was really cold.
"Madam, do you want to go inside and hide?" Qiuyue advised.
Tang Li didn't say anything, but her eyes were fixed on the intersection ahead, hoping that her husband would appear there in the next moment.
Tang Li looks gentle and kind on weekdays, but he is a little scary when he has a cold face, and sometimes he is very stubborn.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Tangli, Qiuyue ran in to get a cloak and put it on Tangli.
The master and servant stared at the falling rain in a daze, both worried about their families.
Tangli stood at the door for almost an hour when suddenly the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Someone is coming!
Tangli stared with wide eyes, and sure enough, he saw a horse coming from the darkness in the distance. When it reached the bright place, Tangli could see the person on the horse clearly.
The man on the horse was extremely dirty, with mud all over his hair, and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Tang Li recognized him at a glance; it was her husband!
Tangli ran straight towards her man.
Wei Qing also dismounted. In a flash, his wife ran to him and opened her arms, trying to get into his arms.
"Wife, don't, I'm dirty..."
Before Wei Qing could finish his words, his wife threw herself into his arms. He could only open his arms and hug her back.
Tang Li hugged Wei Qing's waist tightly.
Fortunately, her husband is fine!
She was so happy that she finally felt relieved.
"Wife, I'm dirty, please let me go first." Wei Qing said.
Tangli hugged her tightly and said stubbornly, "I won't let go."
Wei Qing felt so touched by his wife's coquettish and clingy appearance that he carried her inside.
As he passed the door, a timid voice sounded.
"Sir, how are the people in Chenjia Village? I am from Chenjia Village..." Qiuyue was afraid of the imperial envoy and was too worried about her family, so she mustered up the courage to ask.
"Most people have been rescued. Xu Ziwen has sent people to resettle the victims. They are on Yongzhen Street. You can go and take a look." Wei Qing said.
"Thank you, sir!" Qiuyue said gratefully and ran into the rain.
"Qiuyue, take the umbrella." Tangli said.
"Yes!" Qiuyue ran back and took the umbrella away.
Tang Li watched the little girl disappear in the rain and sighed softly, hoping that her family was okay.
Wei Qing carried Tang Li into the yard.
The servants quickly filled the bathtub with hot water.
Wei Qing closed the door and looked at his wife whose clothes were also wet.
"Let's take a shower together?" Wei Qing asked.
Tangli nodded obediently, not shy at all: "Yeah."
My wife is so enthusiastic.
The two took a shower together and changed into clean clothes. Tang Li kept holding Wei Qing's sleeve and followed him in and out.
Even when eating, she held his sleeve tightly.
Wei Qing tapped Tang Li’s forehead.
"Little carp, you are so clingy." Although it sounded helpless, the tone was actually full of doting, with the corners of his mouth raised, he was secretly happy.
Tang Li hugged his arms: "I will stick to you forever!"
"One lifetime is not enough? In the next life, the next life, the next life, and the next life, you will be mine." Wei Qing said.
His wife must be his in this life. Even if she is reincarnated, he cannot accept her being with someone else, so his wife must always be his!
As he said this, he hugged the person in his arms.
He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms.
Wei Qing knew that his wife was worried about him...
It was all his fault for making her worry.
"Don't worry, my dear wife. Your husband is very lucky."
Tang Li pressed her face tightly against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, feeling particularly safe.
"Um."
"My little carp is blessed. I am blessed with good fortune every day, so naturally everything goes well for me." Wei Qing said.
There is some truth in this.
"Wife, you are really worried. Can you give me more blessings?" Wei Qing's tone suddenly became naughty.
"How to cross..." Tangli asked in confusion.
I looked up and saw Wei Qing with a smirk on his face, and I immediately understood.
Tangli took the initiative to breathe.
This breath was a bit long.
After breathing in the air, the two of them lay down, Wei Qing lying down and Tang Li lying on his chest.
"Husband, go to sleep quickly." Tang Li said.
You must be exhausted after today's day.
Wei Qing put his hands on her waist, smelled the faint fragrance of his wife's body, and soon fell asleep.
Tang Li listened to her husband's steady breathing and smiled. In the darkness, she stared at him for a while, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next day.
Wei Qing got up early again, and Tang Li got up too.
The two washed and had breakfast together.
Just after finishing eating, Xu Ziwen came.
"Sir, all the disaster victims were settled yesterday. There were 378 people in Chenjia Village in total, and 32 people had moved out originally, so there were 346 people in the village in total, and 343 people were rescued." Xu Ziwen said.
The remaining three people are in great danger.
Unfortunately, three people died.
Yesterday's flash flood was really fierce. If the adults had not notified us quickly and risked their lives to save people, more people would have died in the flood.
After a while, the water conservancy official, the craftsmen, and the officials from the Ministry of Works who had been temporarily staying in the county magistrate's office all arrived. There were ten people in total. They held a meeting together to discuss countermeasures.
"What do you think we should do?" Wei Qing asked.
"Sir, I think we should block it here." The water conservancy judge pointed to a location on the map.
"Master Zhang, I think this is not a good place. If it is blocked here, the water will flow in here and these villages will be affected." Xu Ziwen said immediately.
Wei Qing looked at the map and nodded, it was indeed true.
Zhang Tongpan was disgraced and looked unhappy: "Then, Lord Xu, what do you think is the appropriate thing to do?"
