A breeze blew, and a light smoky smell penetrated the tip of the nose.

Xing Jin's gaze narrowed, and the next moment Feng Xili stood in front of him.

"I'll trouble you with the subsequent arrangements, Lord Xing. I will fully cooperate with you in anything you need." She bowed lightly, which was quite solemn.

"Princess, please forgive me for embarrassing you." Xing Jin collected his thoughts and immediately returned the greeting.

She glanced at Lu Yanlin and the other man, then turned and walked down the wall.

It was another sleepless night. This time, all the people in Bianlu City received the notice and unexpectedly cooperated. Some contributed manpower and some contributed money.

If the people were still on the sidelines towards the government before, now they are united in their hatred of the enemy. The head of the Ministry of Works saved their spring irrigation, and Princess Liyou joined them in fighting the epidemic.

Now is the time for everyone to work together!

Feng Xili had people sew a lot of sandbags overnight, filled them with gravel and coarse sand, and placed them one by one at the edge of the waterway that needed to be changed.

The saying "strength in numbers" was concretely demonstrated at this moment. At dawn, the gate opened.

At first, the water flow was controllable. As it gradually increased, some sandbags were washed away, and new ones were immediately replaced. Some silt was also carried away from the soft riverbed.

At first, everyone gathered around the water flow, but when the water flow became stronger, everyone retreated.

Perhaps it was God's blessing that under the erosion of the first flood discharge, the river channel gradually took shape. Although water was still spreading out, most of the water was still able to rush along the designed route.

Xing Jin was watching the front half, Lu Yanlin was watching the middle half, Feng Xili and Mu Lanxun were watching the back half and the entrance to the canal.

Not far behind him stood the onlookers, all of them nervous, waiting for the rushing water to merge into the Huai River Grand Canal.

Time passed by minute by minute, until the sun was scorching overhead, the moisture all over the body clung tightly to the body, and the water flow in front of the eyes became visibly larger.

The second gate has been opened!

Only these two sluice gates can release water to relieve the pressure of spring irrigation, and I don’t know if it will be in time...

Feng Xili bit her lip, feeling uneasy. She turned to look at Mu Lanxun.

He stared intently at the turbulent water upstream, his brow furrowed, wondering what he was thinking...

The catacombs... the snake den... the cloak beneath the hood...

The "gurgling" sound of flowing water suddenly turned into the "hissing" sound of a snake. Feng Xili shuddered all over, and suddenly heard a loud noise behind him.

"Chichichi" a sharp sound with a humming sound was heard. The onlookers were all confused, and suddenly a scream broke out!

"Wen'er!"

When Feng Xili came to her senses, a shrill scream came towards her.

"Ah! Ah..."

A child about seven or eight years old ran towards him with his hands stretched out, his eyes full of fear.

Wild boar!

A black and brown monster half a person's height was chasing the child running in front of it.

The wild boar, snorting and spreading its hooves, was right in front of him in the blink of an eye. He could see the boar's thick, long nose was about to dig into the child's lower back...

The scene in Feng Xili's eyes suddenly turned into the cave, where Mu Lanxun was flying towards her, and the big mouth with fangs behind him turned into a densely packed snake heads!

"Do not……"

The scream was stuck in her throat. She reached out and pulled the child who was already in front of her, hugged him tightly and spun him around in a big circle. The wild boar, which was still charging, slipped across her arm.

She couldn't stop falling backwards, but fortunately she was not standing on the edge of the water at the beginning, and she just fell on the shore above the rushing water.

The wild boar that came from nowhere to cause trouble could no longer stop itself from rushing down, sliding into the water with screams all the way.

There was a silent sound after a "splash", and the huge splash of water even hit Feng Xili's shoulder.

This series of events ended in a flash. When the wild boar rushed out, everyone was shocked and subconsciously chose to hide. By the time they reacted, the wild boar had already rushed into the river.

The child was also frightened. When he saw the wild boar rushing towards him, he ran forward as fast as he could, not knowing that there was a rushing stream ahead, which was even more dangerous.

"Wen'er! Wen'er..." A woman came crawling over here with a panicked cry.

"Wow! Mother, mother!" The child in Feng Xili's arms seemed to have come back to life and started crying loudly. She pushed her hard to stand up and find her mother.

Feng Xili was covered in cold sweat, and was brought back to her senses by the child's screams. She subconsciously let go of her hand, her heart tightened, and she looked up to search for the figure in her mind.

Where is Axun?

There was still obvious pain, struggle and confusion in her eyes. This look went straight into Mu Lanxun's heart, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

What did Xier think of? Or did she see something?

He rushed over as fast as he could the moment the wild boar appeared, but he still couldn't stop it in time. Fortunately, Feng Xili escaped the disaster by holding the child in his arms at the critical moment.

Before he could let go of his suddenly tense heart, the scene before his eyes made him tear his eyes out in an instant!

Feng Xili's searching gaze had just settled when the figure reflected in her pupils was obscured by the rolling waves. In her ears were the cries of a child and an even more shrill scream of a woman!

"Be careful!!"
