Chapter 1468 Please save my cat
In a village that was washed away by the flood, officers and soldiers built a temporary shed on the ground that was not flooded.
People from the village gathered here and were registering their names one by one.
Jiang Xinqiu was busy all night and didn't get any rest.
At this moment, tiredness was written all over his thin little face.
But there was a determined look in his dark eyes.
Everyone knows that she is the eldest maid next to Princess Mifu.
So she couldn't leave, she had to stay and give the people peace of mind.
Her presence here means that the court will not give up on them.
Even though the little girl was so tired that she couldn't straighten up.
At this time, an old man stood up from the ground, wiped his tears and said, "I have to go back to the house."
Two officers and soldiers hurriedly persuaded him: "Old man, you can't go back, we are all washed away by the water!"
"No, I must go back, my Xi'er is still in the house!"
"Is Xi'er your child?"
The old man nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down his face: "Please, please save it."
A villager nearby who recognized the old man reminded him: "Xi'er is a cat and has been with Uncle Liu for eight years. He has no children and lives with the cat!"
The officers and soldiers looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.
The water in the village ahead has not receded. How can we save a cat?
Besides, the flood came quickly and suddenly.
Several people drowned, not to mention the cat, which might have been washed away long ago.
Perhaps seeing the hesitation of the officers and soldiers, the old man walked forward on trembling legs: "I will go by myself without bothering the officers."
"No way!" Jiang Xinqiu strode over and grabbed the old man.
Xu Shi was repeatedly discouraged, and the old man could no longer hold back his sad mood.
Crying helplessly and desolately.
"Please, please save it, I kowtow to you!"
As he spoke, he was about to kneel down. Jiang Xinqiu grabbed him: "Old man, why are you doing this? I'll go and run for you!"
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers persuaded in a low voice: "Miss Jiang, the water ahead is deep, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."
They persuaded her politely because Jiang Xinqiu was the eldest maid of Princess Mifu.
Jiang Xinqiu handed the old man over to them for support.
He neatly rolled up his already soaked sleeves.
The surrounding firelight made her skin look pale, and her eyes showed a hint of exhaustion.
But Jiang Xinqiu's tone was very determined.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess once told me to meet the people's requests within the scope of my ability."
"They are already homeless poor people. I know this feeling best. I will do as much as I can."
"I'll go by myself. You don't have to come with me. Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go."
Jiang Xinqiu turned to the old man and asked: "Which direction is your house in?"
The old man made his hands on his hands as a gratitude, and said, "Go in the village entrance, go left to the fourth room, facing a large banyan tree."
After hearing this, Jiang Xinqiu took a torch, turned around and walked towards the village.
The officers and soldiers looked at this thin but strong figure in the night.
I couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of my heart.
There were two officers who followed Jiang Xinqiu spontaneously, ready to give her a handle.
The three of them entered from the entrance of the village, and the water had already reached their thighs.
Jiang Xinqiu walked slowly, the night was dark, and she held the torch high.
Like a bright light in the vast sea.
She found the old man's house according to the location he said.
"Xi'er?" Jiang Xinqiu called loudly, trying to hear the cat's response.
