Xiao Jingchuan also didn't expect that Song Qinghuan deserved to be so happy. His face suddenly beamed with joy, and he held his hands in front of Song Qinghuan and thanked her: "Thank you, mother."
He really didn't expect that Song Qinghuan would agree. After all, this was a dangerous situation, and no matter what happened, it would not be a good thing for Song Qinghuan's stepmother.
Although they asked Xiao Ci what he meant, others would not put the blame on Xiao Jingchuan's biological father. Most of them were Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan had never given birth to a child. Although she now gets along much better with Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong, they are not related by blood and cannot be compared to their biological mother and child.
Xiao Jingchuan said he wanted to go with Xiao Ci, but the matter was dangerous, and Song Qinghuan did not dare to let him go rashly for her own consideration.
However, since he could think of asking him first, it was obvious that he also respected Song Qinghuan's stepmother, who was only a few years older than him.
Although Song Qinghuan also had selfish motives and was afraid of taking on any responsibilities, seeing Xiao Jingchuan like this, he felt somewhat comforted. In addition, he was going with Xiao Ci, so there would be no problems, so he reluctantly agreed.
He never thought that just such a sentence would make Xiao Jingchuan extremely happy, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
Xiao Jingchuan went out to the study room. Xiao Ci had already discussed the countermeasures with Magistrate Lin, and had given instructions on all matters, and was about to go out.
Xiao Jingchuan didn't waste any time. He stepped forward and explained his intention. Xiao Ci asked him, "Did you know that you would meet your mother before you came here?"
Xiao Jingchuan responded: "After the meeting, my mother said that if the father should give to his son, he would follow. If the father should not give to her, then he would not agree."
He was also afraid that Xiao Ci would not want to take him with him, so he quickly said: "Father, I will protect myself and not cause trouble for you, so you can just take me to see something."
There was a hint of smile in the corners of Xiao Ci's eyes and brows, but he did not refuse. He curved his eyes and said, "Since your mother is reasonable, then follow her."
After a pause, he warned again: "Let me bring you a raincoat and a hat. It's raining heavily outside and the umbrella is not useful."
Xiao Jingchuan responded with joy and was about to send someone to prepare things when Mai Qing braved the rain to deliver the things. She had a round face and two shallow dimples when she smiled.
When he got it, he said to Xiao Jingchuan: "The princess said, let me be careful. Everything is for your own safety. Don't force it."
"Sister Mai Qing, please tell me that I will be obedient when I send a message to my mother." Xiao Jingchuan took the raincoat and hat from Mai Qing's hand, put it on quickly, pursed his lips and smiled, with a smile in his eyes.
A little starry.
Since Xiao Jingchuan came to Ruizhou, his temperament has gradually developed like that of a young boy, and he is not as forbearing and gloomy as he was in Kyoto.
Xiao Ci saw the change in his son and felt a little happy in his heart. He curled his lips and started to leave.
Mai Qing then said: "Your Majesty, the Princess also asked your servant to tell you the same thing."
Xiao Ci was startled, and the smile at the corners of his eyes and brows suddenly deepened. He couldn't help laughing, but pretended not to care and said: "I know, that's silly."
But my heart was filled with indescribable joy.
The father and son hurriedly went out to the towns and villages near the dam.
It was still early at this time, and due to the heavy rain for days, the sky was also gloomy, and it did not look like it was dawn.
The further you go to the lower ground, the deeper the water on the road becomes, and you will have to take a boat to get there.
At this time, the dam has not yet been washed away, but the villages near the dam have been severely flooded. The roofs of the houses on slightly higher ground can still be seen, but if the houses on low ground are not even visible, the roofs are not visible.
Xiao Ci and Xiao Jingchuan took the boat with others and rescued several people who were washed away by the water. Some people who were not rescued in time could only watch helplessly as they were washed away by the water.
The heavy rain had no intention of letting up. Seeing the time passing by little by little, Xiao Ci was extremely anxious. Chu Han came to report that there was a crack in the dam early in the morning. It seemed that they would not be able to hold on for long. They
They can't wait too long when they come here to rescue. If the dam breaks, even they will be in danger.
Xiao Jingchuan looked around with his eyes, and heard a cry of a baby from a long distance away. However, the rain did not stop, and the baby's cry was far away, so he felt it was faint and weak.
At first, Xiao Jingchuan thought it was an illusion, but after the ship moved some distance forward, he could still hear it.
He couldn't help but frown and asked the guard beside him: "Have you heard the baby's cry?"
The guard had just rescued several people and was shivering with cold. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I didn't hear that."
The boat was originally carrying a few people who had just been rescued. Some were too frightened, some had not yet recovered their breath, and everyone was trembling.
Only the little guard standing at one end of the rowing boat responded quietly: "Little one, I think I heard it, but I'm not sure."
When the little guard said this, Xiao Jingchuan became more sure that he was not hallucinating. He closed his eyes and listened carefully. For a moment, he felt that the crying sound seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked around with a frown. When he saw the big banyan tree that had fallen behind, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and ordered the little guard: "Move the boat back to the banyan tree."
The big banyan tree must have been there for many years and was tall and strong. Therefore, such a huge flood only submerged most of the tree without disturbing its roots. At this time, most of the tree's shade penetrated the water, which seemed to be enough.
A big mushroom.
The little guard obediently moved the boat under the big banyan tree, and he heard the baby's cry more clearly.
Xiao Jingchuan felt relieved, raised his hand, took the reins prepared on the boat, threw it towards the big banyan tree, and just caught it on the branch.
The guard who had fallen into the water just now shook his body and stood up, ready to take the reins and cross over to the big banyan tree to have a look, but Xiao Jingchuan refused.
"I'll come, you take a break."
As he spoke, before the guard could refuse, he pulled the reins and easily entered the lush branches and leaves of the big banyan tree.
The big banyan tree was extremely lush. As soon as Xiao Jingchuan entered, people outside could no longer see what was going on inside.
Because of the strong current, the little guard who rowed the boat had to tie the reins to the banyan tree to ensure that the boat would not be washed away.
Xiao Jingchuan ducked into the banyan tree and soon he actually came out with an infant baby in his arms. He protected the baby on his chest, blocked the rain with his raincoat, poked his head and shouted: "The boat is approaching."
point."
The little guard who was rowing the boat really brought the boat closer, Xiao Jingchuan jumped from the tree to the boat, hurriedly took the child out, looked at it carefully, and was relieved when he saw that the child was not injured.
An older woman who had been rescued nearby saw the child and poked her head out to take a look. She sighed, "What a pity the parents in the world are."
Who would leave a child alone in a tree unless absolutely necessary?
Xiao Jingchuan pursed his lips and protected the child under the raincoat again. Before he even raised his head, he heard a loud cry from not far away: "Get out quickly..."
