Chapter 485 Shelter from the Wind and Rain
Chapter 485 Shelter from the Wind and Rain
They had to race against time to protect the people from the wind and rain. Without hesitation, Chen Er took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles underneath.
Chen Er carried the sacks on his shoulders and kept placing them on the low embankments. At that moment, Situ Minyue was hiding in the grass, tears streaming down her face.
Unconsciously, drops fell onto the back of her hand. Situ Minyue never expected that these dikes would be destroyed overnight.
But Chen Er actually wanted to restore all these dikes by himself.
Chen Er was so brave. Situ Minyue was completely stunned by Chen Er's actions. Situ Minyue wished she were a man.
She wanted to help Chen Er restore the dikes to their original state, but as a woman, the only thing she could do was use her clean white handkerchief to wipe away Chen Er's sweat.
At this moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and relentless rain poured down from the sky, turning Chen Er into a drowned rat. However, Chen Er remained steadfast in his commitment to building the dam he desired.
"Chen Er, it's raining. Let's hurry back, otherwise it's too dangerous in here."
After Situ Minyue finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky with a sharp crack, causing Situ Minyue to crouch on the ground, screaming incessantly.
Chen Er felt a little embarrassed by Situ Minyue's arrival, since he was completely naked from the waist up.
However, Chen Er was already exhausted and drenched in sweat, so he could no longer care about these superficial things.
“Situ Minyue, it’s too dangerous here. You should go back and take care of your father. Don’t let the news about this spread. I don’t want the people to be in a state of panic.”
That's right. These many dikes were built with great difficulty. If the people knew about them, they would be heartbroken.
They might even endlessly doubt everyone, including Chen Er himself, so this is not the outcome Chen Er wants to see.
But how could Situ Minyue disappear and go back to sleep alone, leaving Chen Er to build the dam here all by himself?
"I'm not leaving. I want to stay with you and fight alongside you. I can do what you did, you know that?"
Now, Situ Minyue was not only wiping Chen Er's sweat, but she also bent down, picked up a small burlap sack, and walked shakily toward the embankment.
At this moment, looking at Situ Minyue's appearance, Chen Er's eyes immediately turned red, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
"Sun Yunhe and Qin Zhongting, you're something else! I'll make you pay a huge price again. You deserve to die for playing with the lives of ordinary people." The girl almost bit her teeth off.
"Chen Er, do you know? I have never admired anyone in my life, but I have to admire you. I see a spirit of fearlessness in you."
"It's rare to see a man like you who is solely focused on the well-being of ordinary people."
Actually, there was one more thing Situ Minyue didn't say: a man like you is the most attractive to girls.
Chen Er was a little embarrassed, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't want to linger here any longer. Once the rainwater flowed down, these dikes would come in handy.
When the time comes, these dikes will be able to protect the people from all floods.
"Let's go back and hurry over to these people after the rain stops." Chen Er did this because the place where the people were living was too tragic, and the flood would turn them all into corpses.
Inside Qingge Academy, Sun Yunhe and Qin Zhongting were overjoyed. "Let's keep toasting! I feel like I can see things progressing smoothly."
"I saw Chen Er being beheaded in the square in front of thousands of people, and just thinking about it makes my blood boil."
Sun Yunhe said nonchalantly, and even Ma Qiang couldn't help but drink a few more cups.
“I represent only you people here, but I don’t mean anything by it. I just hope that after this is over, I can leave this godforsaken place.”
"I don't want to stay here for another minute, you know? It's too much suffering." After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he felt speechless. Ma Qiang's words made Qin Zhongting and Sun Yunhe give an awkward smile.
It was at this moment that the door was suddenly kicked open: "I said this is not a place for you to cause trouble. Get out of here, or you will die a terrible death. You should know that this is Qingge Academy."
There are a lot of thugs here, and this time Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong brought their men without wearing any official robes.
They were just wearing ordinary clothes, because they represented the face of adults. If someone wore official robes into such a place, they would definitely be remembered by others.
Wouldn't that just cause unnecessary trouble for themselves? Even Sun Yunhe and Qin Zhongting were dressed in ordinary people's clothes to keep a low profile.
"We're here to find someone. This has nothing to do with you. Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of here right now, or we'll go crazy here, you hear me?"
Ma Dazhi was furious and wanted to find Sun Yunhe and Qin Zhongting right now to make them pay a heavy price.
At that moment, Sun Yunhe only heard the argument outside. He didn't see Ma Dazhi and said with a disdainful expression.
"Ma Qiang, quickly send your men out to find out who dares to cause trouble on our turf. They seem to be tired of living."
Because he was in a good mood, Sun Yunhe didn't want to argue with the people outside. If it were before, Sun Yunhe would have loved to go up there and beat all the people shouting at the door half to death.
Upon hearing Sun Yunhe's instructions, Ma Qiang, without any hesitation or humility, led his men out.
"Who are you people? How dare you ruin our enjoyment here? Are you tired of living?"
After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he immediately shut up because he saw Ma Dazhi looking at him with disdain. Ma Qiang knew Ma Dazhi well; he was one of Chen Er's favorites.
It was as if Sun Yunhe was one of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Generals, and Ma Qiang immediately felt embarrassed looking at Ma Dazhi.
But before Ma Qiang could even explain, Ma Dazhi punched him on the head.
It should be noted that Ma Dazhi had always stayed by Chen Er's side. The strong and robust Ma Dazhi could kill a wild boar with a single punch.
