The sky was gloomy and heavy rain had been pouring. It had been three days and three nights in a row, but it still did not clear up. Almost all the entire Lujiang County area had become a vast area, with fields, villages and roads being flooded by floods. Some of the residents had already fled, while others were swept away by floods. Only a few survivors were hiding on the roofs, bell towers, and high hills, were spared, but they were only surviving because what was waiting for them was hunger, cold, and despair.

Jiang Yongqi stood in front of the window and saw that the water outside had almost flooded the roof and the tree crown. Two days ago, some furniture, tanks and other objects would float on the water surface. At this time, they had been washed away by the flood, and only some of the remaining weeds and leaves floated with the turbulent water flow.

At this moment, Jiang Yongqi's stomach sounded, reminding him that one day he had no food. Jiang Yongqi turned around and looked at the dozen or so men and women lying in the attic, all of whom were numb and dull, as if they were walking corpses. Jiang Yongqi also sighed. He had done his best and had been with these people for nearly 10 days, but manpower could not fight against the will of heaven.

Jiang Yongqi is 26 years old. He was originally from Jiangxia, Huguang. His family has been running escort agencies for three generations. He was originally from a good family, but when Jiang Yongqi's father's generation, he was not lucky and even lost several escorts. As a result, all his family's wealth was lost and his parents died of depression. Jiang Yongqi had entered into a marriage and was also regretted by the woman's family. Fortunately, the escort person had a wide range of ways. Jiang Yongqi was introduced two years ago and was hired by someone from Luzhou Prefecture. The rich family of Tian Chuze, who was a wealthy man from Luzhou Prefecture and donated a fortune. His family had nearly 10,000 acres of land and bought and sold real estate in Luzhou Prefecture, Anqing Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture and other places. Tian Chuze has more than 5,000 acres of land in Lujiang County and more than 300 tenants. He also built a land house here. The land tax collected here every year is more than 5,000 taels of silver. Therefore, Jiang Yongqi was arranged to be the leader of the guard house in the mansion here to protect the land property.

Since Jiang Yongqi was a bodyguard, he had some real skills. Although he was not old, he had been with his father since he was 14 years old. He had been to almost all the world. He was a righteous man and did not bully the weak. He was a head of the hospital guard and had a monthly salary of 24 taels of silver. He also had a lot of rewards on the New Year holidays. Because he was single, his income was quite considerable, so he was willing to spend money to treat him. So he soon had a good impression among the people of the courtyard. At the same time, he led the hospital guards to defeat the harassing bandits several times and kept the courtyard, which was also highly appreciated by Tian Chuze.

This time, Luzhou Prefecture was flooded, and Tian Chu took his family and property to hide in the mansion in Hefei City early. Only a few in charge of the farm were left to take care of the village. Jiang Yongqi was the head of the courtyard guard, so he naturally had to stay. Of course, the farm house was large and there were many houses, so some servants, maids, and wife stayed here, and there were more than 100 people in total.

After the manor was flooded, Jiang Yongqi stepped forward and saved many people from the flood. Since there were several buildings in the manor, Jiang Yongqi chose one of the large attics as the place for everyone to stay, so that they could block the wind and rain without being strong. Moreover, Jiang Yongqi led his men to set up two simple rafts, so he found some food in the flood, and followed him to save several tenant farmers struggling in the flood. In this way, everyone temporarily survived in the attic and publicly recommended Jiang Yongqi as the leader of everyone.

However, the water is becoming more and more fierce, and the food can be found is less and less, and there are also fierce conflicts among the people. Some people advocate stopping food for women who are unable to survive and saving the few foods, so that they can support it longer. However, Jiang Yongqi rejected this suggestion and insisted on distributing food evenly to everyone. However, young and middle-aged men can divide more women and fewer elderly people, because young and middle-aged men are still needed to find food.

As a result, there was a fierce quarrel between the two sides, and Shi took action. However, Jiang Yongqi was a clerk. Although he was fighting against the crowd, he could still defeat his opponents. At the same time, some people supported Jiang Yongqi. Bi Jing still had some people who could maintain humanity in difficulties. Therefore, Jiang Yongqi finally won the battle. However, the defeated side was not willing to accept it, so he brought most of the remaining food at night and killed two vigilants and left on a raft.

There are only 18 people left in the attic, including 5 women, 3 elderly people over 50 years old, and only 10 young and middle-aged men. Jiang Yongqi led these people to try his best to survive in the flood, and for a few days, he finally stopped eating completely, and his despair spread in everyone's heart.

Jiang Yongqi is a martial arts practitioner. He is strong and has no food for a day. He still has the strength to stand up and walk around and watch. The others are either sitting or lying down, and they don’t speak, and are completely numb.

After looking at the window for a while, but there was nothing outside except the flood. Jiang Yongqi sighed and returned to his own paving to sit down. At this time, next to his paving, a young and weak woman said in a voice: "Brother Jiang, are we no longer a way to live?"

Jiang Yongqi said: "Don't talk nonsense, someone will come to save us." In fact, even Jiang Yongqi himself doesn't believe it, someone will come to save him.

The woman turned over and struggled to sit up. Jiang Yongqi hurriedly pressed her shoulder and said, "Wanyun, just lie down like this and don't move."

Wanyun is 18 years old this year. She is a girl in Tian Chuze's farm. She is a bit talented and smart. When Jiang Yongqi was hired to the farm, she had a good impression of this very beautiful little girl. But soon after, she heard that the boss Tian Chu had always wanted to take Wanyun away, but because the eldest lady didn't let go, she was staring tightly, so she didn't have the chance to start. But it was only a matter of time. How could Bi Jing, a little girl, escape from the palm of his master? Jiang Yongqi was so sad that he lost his heart and didn't talk much to Wanyun.

However, this flood caused the two to have a wonderful relationship. Jiang Yongqi rescued Wanyun in the flood, and took great care of her these days. Wanyun was also very grateful to him because it was an extraordinary period, so it was not so important for men and women to avoid suspicion. Because after someone killed someone and escaped, the remaining people lived in a house, but each person had a set of bedding. Jiang Yongqi arranged Wanyun's bedding with him, and Wanyun did not refuse. During this period, although the two had no substantial contact, their relationship was rising.

During this period, Wanyun has not been able to eat enough every day. Now she is hungry for a day and a night. At this time, she is weak and she lies on the mattress without moving. Of course, the situation of others is similar. Only a few young and middle-aged people, such as Jiang Yongqi, have good physical fitness and eat more, so they still have some ability to move at this time.

Seeing Wanyun's haggard face, Jiang Yongqi couldn't help feeling sad, but couldn't think of anything to comfort her, because at this time, it was useless to say anything. He couldn't help but feel very bored, so he stood up again and walked to the window and looked out.

At this moment, Jiang Yongqi vaguely saw several blurry shadows through the dense rain and fog, which seemed to look like a ship. Jiang Yongqi was stunned for a moment, and reached out to rub his eyes hard, trying to see clearly, but unfortunately the rain was still not small at this time, and his vision was not clear, so he couldn't see clearly at all.

But it didn't take long, and the shadows gradually became clearer. It turned out that there were several ships, different sizes. When Jiang Yongqi saw it, he couldn't help but scream and said, "There is a ship, and a ship is here."

When the people in the room heard this, they couldn't help but feel energetic. People with the ability to move also stood up and looked outside in front of the window. When other weak people heard this, they wanted to struggle to get up, and their eyes finally shone with vitality again.

Jiang Yongqi and several others still had the strength to shout at the window: "Here, here, save people, save people." Someone grabbed a bed sheet and shook desperately at the window.

The boat obviously saw the movement here, and one of the big ships turned around and rushed towards the attic. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but cheer and finally survived in this desperate place.

Seeing the boat getting closer and closer to the attic, stopping more than 20 meters away from the attic, and putting down two small boats from the boat. Someone rowed towards the attic, Jiang Yongqi hurriedly asked the two people to go downstairs to pick up the boat, while the other people who could move helped up the people who were hungry and unable to move, packed up their things, and prepared to get on the boat together. In fact, everyone had nothing at this time, but just some clothes to carry. Of course, some people rolled up the bedding on the ground and carried away.

Jiang Yongqi went over to help Wanyun up and said, "Wanyun, we are saved, saved."

Wanyun was also surprised and said, "Brother Jiang, are we really saved?"

Jiang Yongqi said, "Yes, a boat has come, so we are saved. Come on, I will carry you on my back." As he said that, Wanyun couldn't help but say something, reaching out to hold her hand and carrying Wanyun on her back. Although Jiang Yongqi didn't eat anything a day and a night, he was a martial arts practitioner after all, and his physique was much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, Wanyun's body was very light, so Jiang Yongqi could still carry her and then walk down the stairs.

At this time, the water had flooded half of the stairs, and the two small boats had stopped in the stairs. Two people in straw raincoats came over from the boat, tied the cables of the small boat to the handrail of the stairs, and then said to everyone: "Don't be anxious, don't squeeze, get on the boat one by one, and I promise to pick you up. If you don't have one trip, you'll get two trips, so don't rob it, but you throw away all the extra things, so you can only get on the boat. I understand."

Then he photographed a young man and said, "Go on the boat."

So everyone got on the boat one by one, and some people reached out to answer, sometimes they would help, and the bedding, clothes, etc. that were brought with them were asked to throw away. However, no one dared to violate their orders at this time, so they threw them away.
