Chapter 367 Worry
What you fear will come true. It is already June 18th, and although the rain has stopped for a while, it is still raining intermittently. It is usually moderate to heavy rain during the day, and heavy to torrential rain at night.
The rain had been going on for five days, and the people and court officials, who had been so excited after more than half a year of drought, finally felt a little worried.
Fortunately, the long drought has allowed the soil's water absorption capacity to reach a fairly high level, but the weather does not look like it will stop raining.
The originally dry and cracked riverbed has long been submerged in the deep river water. The provinces surrounding Shengjing are densely covered with rivers. After the rainfall in the past few days, the water levels of rivers of all sizes have been rising continuously. The water levels of some rivers near the hilly areas have already exceeded the levels of the same period last year.
As the rain continued, the temperature around Shengjing also dropped, and the sultry weather that lasted for more than a month was gone forever.
Listening to the sound of rain hitting the tiles on the roof, although Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng were sitting in Mingyi Hall for class, the worry on Ye Changyan's face was obvious.
The uneasiness in Ye Changyan's heart did not dissipate because of the five-day rain, but instead became even stronger.
Faced with the possible flood, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng felt helpless for a moment.
Fortunately, on June 19th, the heavy rain finally stopped, but the sky was still gloomy with drizzles scattered here and there. However, Liang Jingcheng saw that Ye Changyan's worries had not changed.
That night, Liang Jingcheng snuggled in Ye Changyan's arms, feeling the warmth of Ye Changyan's chest, but the thin quilt covering his body seemed to be a little damp, which made Liang Jingcheng feel a little uncomfortable, so he moved his body to get closer to Ye Changyan, and then he asked.
"Sanlang, the rain has stopped today, there is only a little drizzle here and there, but I see you still look worried today, is there something on your mind?"
Ye Changyan hugged the person who was leaning on his arms tightly, feeling the warmth coming from the other person. He closed his eyes and greedily sniffed the unique body fragrance of the other person, and was intoxicated by it for a moment.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses and leave a light kiss on the other's forehead.
"Sixth brother, although the rain has come down today, I am even more uneasy. I am afraid that the rain is far from over."
As their relationship became more intimate, the way they addressed each other in bed also changed quietly. Liang Jingcheng preferred Ye Changyan to call him Sixth Brother, while Ye Changyan preferred Liang Jingcheng to call him Sanlang.
"Sanlang, if there is really a flood coming, we can't stop it, but we can think of a way to get more people prepared before the flood hits. If unfortunately, your premonition comes true, then at least when the flood comes, the losses suffered by everyone will be reduced, even if it is a little bit, it will also be our contribution."
Ye Changyan looked down at Liang Jingcheng's watery eyes. Hearing Liang Jingcheng's suggestion, Ye Changyan's heart softened, so he adjusted his posture, moved close to Liang Jingcheng's mouth, and kissed him on the lips.
When Liang Jingcheng saw Ye Changyan's red lips approaching, he slowly closed his eyes and quietly felt the tenderness and sweetness conveyed by the other's soft lips.
After a gentle tenderness, both of their cheeks flushed a little, and then Ye Changyan spoke.
"I have been thinking these days. Since the uneasy premonition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, what can we, as ordinary students of the Imperial College, do? I even thought about telling my premonition to several senior brothers. Although they are not in high positions, they are still in the powerful departments and can play a role. Especially the fourth senior brother. His Majesty trusts him very much. Maybe he can pass this matter to His Majesty through the mouth of the fourth senior brother. In this way, we may be able to mobilize the power of the court to avoid the possible flood as much as possible, and cause too heavy an impact on Shengjing and its surrounding prefectures."
Liang Jingcheng raised his head, looked at Ye Changyan gently, and listened quietly to Ye Changyan's thoughts.
"But when I think about it carefully, let alone whether my brothers will believe me, even if I tell them that this is my premonition or that Master Gongshu sent me a dream, it's too absurd."
Liang Jingcheng blinked and agreed with Ye Changyan's concerns.
"If my prediction comes true, it's still easy for me to explain to my senior brothers, but I'm afraid that someone might have evil intentions towards me because of this, which would be counterproductive. If my premonition doesn't come true, it would implicate my senior brothers, so I've been thinking about it, but I can't think of a suitable way to remind more people and prepare for it in advance."
Just when Ye Changyan was looking anxious, an idea suddenly flashed through Liang Jingcheng's mind. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
After Ye Changyan said these heartfelt words, he thought Liang Jingcheng would say something to comfort him, but he didn't hear Liang Jingcheng's voice. He then turned his head and saw a smile that was a little excited and a little complacent on Liang Jingcheng's face.
"Sixth brother, have you thought of something? Why are you so happy?"
Ye Changyan reached out his hand and gently rubbed Liang Jingcheng's cheek. He opened his mouth to ask, and saw Liang Jingcheng turn over and sit on his lower abdomen, and spoke excitedly.
"Sanlang, do you still remember Shen Liu from the farm?"
After hearing Liang Jingcheng's brief question, Ye Changyan was a little confused at first, but then a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Sixth Brother, do you mean that we can imitate Shen Liu and spread the news of Jin Wenshao contracting a strange disease around Fanlou to remind more people to be vigilant and prepare for possible floods?"
Liang Jingcheng nodded and his expression became serious.
"I'm thinking that we can start from Yunfeng Tower and have people spread the news that the rain may cause floods in Yunfeng Tower through casual conversation. We don't have to deliberately make up the source of the rumor, we can just say that we heard it. After all, Yunfeng Tower has a large flow of people every day, and there are many dignitaries who come and go. These people will have some sense of prevention. I think if others see these people preparing for the possible flood, there should be many people who will follow suit. In this way, one person will spread the word to ten people, and ten people will spread the word to a hundred people, which will at least encourage a group of people to make some preparations in advance."
Liang Jingcheng's words made Ye Changyan's eyes light up, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
