The princess is very versatile, leaving the prince to become the richest

He suddenly found that he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the flood.

Could it be that the flood subsided so quickly?

This discovery surprised him.

Just when he looked up and wanted to tell the people above about this matter.

Then he realized that it was everyone who was pulling him, and it was not the flood that had receded.

He also saw that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was also helping to pull the rope, and for a moment, the fear in his heart was replaced by being moved.

And just like that, he was the last one to be rescued.

All of them were standing on this platform halfway up the mountain. The location was very good and they could see far away.

Looking around, the flood swallowed up everything and the earth was a turbid yellow.

They also saw that the dams they had worked so hard to build were under attack again and again.

Eventually, it couldn't bear the burden and fell apart.

Alas, at this point, Flood has taken the initiative.

Without the dikes, they became unstoppable.

In the face of nature, human power is ultimately small and insignificant.

So, they could only watch the flood flow towards the main city.

“Your Majesty, you see the flood is flowing towards the main city.

What should we do? "

Xiao Jingyu, who has always been omnipotent, was silent at this moment.

He looked at the flood below, sighed, and then looked at the group of people coming behind.

"Why are you the only ones back? Where is Prefect Shen?"

When they heard Xiao Jingyu ask this, the mood of those people instantly dropped, and they didn't know how to answer.

It was the last person rescued who spoke.

“Your Highness, we don’t know how the prefect and the others are doing.

We were building a dam at the time. Suddenly, a crack appeared not far in front of us, and the flood gushed out.

We were all so frightened that we just ran away.

We moved a little further away and ran out.

The prefect and his men are closer, so... "

In fact, when everyone saw that there were only a few of them, they already knew what was going on.

But don't give up and hold on to a glimmer of hope.

This time, everyone was silent.

Even though these people are all gentlemen, some of them have poor mental qualities.

Look at the surrounded mountains and then look at the incessant heavy rain.

For a moment, some people couldn't help crying.

A "woo woo woo" sound came from the crowd.

Just like the first person who cried, other people who had the same emotion were also infected and started crying.

More and more people were crying, so the crying sounds were constantly amplified in the crowd.

The people Xiao Jingyi brought were fine, they had just arrived and had not been devastated yet, so they could not experience their collapse for the time being.

Xiao Jingyu's people are the strongest among them.

Because they had already developed a strong heart on the battlefield.

But at this moment, their eyes were also wet.

This is different from the battlefield.

On the battlefield, they became more and more courageous as they faced more setbacks. As long as they killed one more person, they would be one step closer to victory.

And now, facing natural disasters, they are even more powerless.

When the rain stops and when the flood recedes all depends on God's will.

In front of nature, they are so insignificant.

Even if they tried their best, they couldn't change anything.

Looking at the low morale in front of him, Xiao Jingyu could only cheer them up again.

"Okay, everyone stop crying.

You should know that crying is the most useless thing, it can't change anything.

Everyone is tired after working for quite some time, let's take a rest here for half an hour.

Half an hour later, we will look for another way out."

After thinking about it, everyone decided that this was the only option.

So, they supported each other and sat on the ground.

They had planned to work hard all day, so they brought some dry food with them for lunch.

Only when you are full can you have strength, and only when you have strength can you be full of hope for the future.

So, some people took out the big pancakes wrapped in oil paper from their arms.

Because I held it in my arms, it didn't get lost.

Just like the bamboo tubes of water they used to hang around their waists, now they are empty.

Those who have food look at those next to them who have no food.

Without any hesitation, they gave half of the pie they had to those who had none.

Although everyone's hands were covered in mud, some of the cakes were also stained.

But they were not affected at all and still ate with relish.

At this moment, their hearts were very warm.

At least they didn't give up on each other.

They ate the bread in their hands with big mouthfuls, and when they felt choked, they looked up and drank some rain water.

Xiao Jingyu also took out his own lunch from his arms and gave half to Xiao Jingyi.

Xiao Jingyi refused, but Xiao Jingyu still forced it into his hand.

Xiao Jingyi looked at the cake in his hand, as if he saw the past.

Xiao Jingyi was very touched that his third brother was still as kind to him as always.

Xiao Jingyi was not polite anymore. He ate the cake in his hand and asked his third brother.

"Third brother, what should we do next?

How can we survive without a boat or food?

And with the heavy rain, there might be a landslide here, and we won’t be safe here.”

Xiao Jingyu ate the cake while looking into the distance.

"This mountain had a landslide a few days ago. You see, most of the rocks exposed outside are raw stones.

So, the mountain is safe for now.

After a short rest, let’s look around the mountain to see if there are any caves or something.

If there is a cave, let's take shelter inside first.

Moreover, look over there, there are quite a few big trees.

This season is the time when fruits are ripe, and there may be many fruit trees here to fill our stomachs."

Seeing that his third brother already had a plan in mind, Xiao Jingyi felt relieved.

It’s good to have Third Brother around. He doesn’t have to worry about anything. He just needs to follow Third Brother.

Speaking of his third brother, he remembered Xiao Jingyin who came with his third brother.

"Third brother, why are you the only one here?

Where is fourth brother?

Where is he?

I haven't seen him for most of the day. Could something have happened to him like Prefect Shen?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyu shook his head.

“No, he didn’t come.

He is injured and is recovering in Chiqing Mountain."

When Xiao Jingyi heard this, he instantly became worried.

"what?

What happened to Fourth Brother? Why is he injured?

Is it serious?

how is it now?

Oh, it’s all my fault. If I had come with you guys at the beginning, I could have protected Fourth Brother.

You are all here working hard for the people, and I am the only one enjoying the life of a prince in the capital."

Looking at Xiao Jingyi who was blaming himself in front of him, Xiao Jingyu comforted him.

“Jingyin is much better now.

His injury has nothing to do with you, and even less to do with the flood, so you don't need to blame yourself.

Besides, aren’t you here now?

When we get out, you can still help the people."
