Shen Shu looked at the water that was about to cover her thighs, and then looked at the few children who were not very old. She knew that if she continued to stay here, it would be more and more difficult to get out, so she immediately gave the order. "We can't stay in this house anymore, we have to leave quickly."
Mrs. Jing Ninghou was stunned for a moment after hearing her daughter's words, "There is water everywhere, where should we go?"
Shen Shu pursed her lips and said, "Take your umbrella and go to the roof."
"How about... going to the roof?" Madam Jing Ning still had a hesitant look on her face, and wanted to wait until her husband came back before making a decision.
However, Shen Shu gave the order directly, "We must go to the roof immediately. The adults can still stand upright, but the children are small. If the rain continues, it will become more and more difficult for them to leave the house."
After she finished speaking, she went to get some water, called some guards who were busy, and asked them to get the ladder and set it up. Then she took Mrs. Jing Ninghou and the children to climb the ladder and go to the roof.
Because it was too dark outside the house and there was no way to light the lamp, everyone stumbled while walking. Mrs. Jing Ninghou almost fell into the water, but Shen Shu quickly pulled her up with quick eyes and hands.
Even after being nursed back to health by Lin Zhi for so long, Shen Shu's body was not in good shape. She had been soaked in water and rained for so long that she started to have a fever unconsciously.
She extended her hand again and sent the children to the roof. Suddenly her vision went dark and she almost fell into the water. She quickly went to hold on to the wall and stood there for a while.
Unexpectedly, the rain was so heavy that the tiles on the roof fell down, hitting her feet.
She was so frightened that her heart trembled, and she suddenly became more energetic. At this time, Mrs. Jing Ninghou sent the child up and shouted to her, "Aluo, come up quickly!"
Shen Shu finally gritted her teeth and climbed up to the roof in one breath.
She was already a little confused at this time, but she understood that Jing Ninghou had not returned yet, and Mrs. Jing Ninghou had no idea. If she fell at this time, everyone would be more desperate.
So she could only grit her teeth and comfort the children. She held the most crying children in her arms and comforted them one by one.
Maybe her voice was too gentle, or maybe it was more powerful when everyone was together, but those children stopped crying and just hid in Shen Shu's arms and sobbed softly.
Shen Shu's body was getting hotter and hotter, and her consciousness was no longer clear. She could only raise her hands to hold the youngest An An in her arms, and then continued to talk to the children beside her.
Mrs. Jing Ninghou soon felt something strange about her daughter and quickly called her, "Aluo! Are you okay?"
Even though Shen Shu was shaking badly, she still held An An in her arms and used the last bit of warmth from her body to warm her. Then she tried to keep her tone normal, "Mom, I'm fine..."
But the sound didn't sound like nothing was wrong. Mrs. Jing Ninghou hurriedly raised her hand to touch Shen Shu's head, only to find that her body was already severely burned, but there was nothing that could be done about this situation at this time. When treating my daughter, I could only burst into tears.
Shen Shu felt Mrs. Jing Ninghou's despair and tried her best to lift her arm and grab her hand. In the heavy rain, her hand was soaked, wrinkled and cold, but it somehow made Mrs. Jing Ninghou feel more at ease.
"Mom, don't be afraid. It will be fine at dawn and you will be fine tomorrow."
Mrs. Jing Ninghou listened to her daughter's voice and nodded solemnly.
Even though she was holding on, Shen Shu's consciousness slowly passed away along with her strength, and she felt like she was going to die.
People tend to have random thoughts when they are distracted. One moment, she wondered whether she would return to modern times after her death. The next moment, she wondered what would happen to Lin Zhi after her death. The next moment, she suddenly thought that neither she nor Lin Zhi had thought of it. , between the two of them, she must have died first.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly began to miss Lin Zhi very, very much.
I want to see him again and know what he is doing now.
Maybe he was fighting against the heavy rain like her at this time, or maybe he was on his way here.
She was a little scared when she thought about it. Lin Zhi's health was so poor and he was so afraid of the cold. After experiencing such bad weather, would he get sick again?
"Azhi..." She couldn't help but whisper his name softly.
It's just that this murmur was hidden in the loud sound of rain, and no one heard it. Only An An, who was beside her, felt something strange about her and quietly squeezed the corner of her clothes.
Shen Shu's eyelids gradually became unable to hold up any longer. At the last moment when her consciousness passed away, she saw the person running towards her.
The man held her tightly in his arms. His body was always cold, but perhaps because Shen Shu had been drenched in the rain for half an hour, her body was even colder. She couldn't help but lean her whole body against his arms. Inside, he murmured softly, "Azhi, you feel so warm..."
Lin Zhi felt Shen Shu's trembling, and his body stiffened, then he said softly, "Don't be afraid."
…
Lin Zhi asked the secret guards to transport all the people in the Hou Mansion to a high place overnight. The next morning, the heavy rain stopped, but the floods had already spread throughout the capital. The people were in dire straits. There were people trapped in the floods everywhere, and there was a continuous sound. A cry for help.
Shen Shu had a high fever and kept holding Lin Zhi's body, calling her "Mom" and "Dad" for a while, which made Lin Zhi dumbfounded and could only hold her and coax her over and over again.
But without thinking, Shen Shu started to cry again after coaxing her. Her tears got on Lin Zhi's clothes, making his chest wet.
Lin Zhi could only hold her on his lap, wiping her tears and coaxing her patiently.
At the same time, Chang Ning entered the door. He was a little surprised to see Shen Shu crying in Lin Zhi's arms, but he still reported, "His Majesty just issued an order, asking the prince to settle the victims and rectify the flood."
Lin Zhi's hand wiping Shen Shu's tears suddenly paused, and then he sneered mockingly.
His imperial brother is really spineless. He was so eager to cut off his rights before, but now it was just a natural disaster, so he came to find him again in a hurry.
Tsk.
He lowered his eyes again and looked at Shen Shu who was in his arms. Her face was blushing. She probably called her parents for a long time but didn't get a response. She couldn't help but curled her lips and shouted aggrievedly, "Ah Zhi... …”
Lin Zhi's heart suddenly softened, and he held her hand and responded, "I'm here."
