 Liuhe Village is a small village, with only a dozen households in total. Next to the village is a river that winds deep into the mountains.

 This day, the peace of the small village was broken, and a group of people came.

 Among these people, there are some wearing official uniforms and some wearing ordinary clothes, and almost all of them are young and middle-aged people.

"Call your lieutenant here." Huang Cheng said with a cold face.

 He was originally a smiling tiger, but after three days he still hadn't found the master and Mr. Xin, which made him completely lose his patience.

The villagers who were asked had never seen such a big scene before. They didn't even dare to say anything and went to find the head of the village.

After a while, an old man who looked past his sixties came over.

 “Young old man, I have met the big old men.” The old man bowed to Huang Cheng and others.

Huang Cheng glanced at Liu Captou.

Liu Captou spoke with a local accent and revealed his identity: "We are here from the county government. Three days ago to rescue the people affected by the disaster, two adults accidentally fell down the hillside and may have fallen into the river and were washed here. You can save them. Who did you meet? Or what discovery was made? If there are any clues, I will be grateful."

 “No.” The director said without hesitation.

 “Ask the villagers.”

The head of the village said cautiously: "We only have a dozen households, and the whole village will know whose hen has laid a new egg..."

 Liu Captou looked at Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng's face was gloomy and his heart was irritable.

』

There is a river at the bottom of the hillside. There is no sign of the master or Mr. Xin at the bottom of the hillside. They must have followed the water to this side. But after searching for so long, I just can’t find anyone—

Huang Cheng didn’t want to think about what happened next.

“If you find anything, you must go to the county government and report it.” Liu Captou told the head of the district.

The district chief responded hurriedly, and after Huang Cheng and others left, he sent a bright young man to the county seat to inquire about the situation.

The people looking for Xin You and He Qingxiao were not only people from the government and themselves, but also young people from Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village who organized themselves.

Unlike being submissive to people in the government, when facing these people, they dare to ask questions.

“Who are we looking for? We are looking for the savior of our two villages!”

"Without Mr. Xin, we in Shanghe Village would have been washed away by the flood."

"Are you from Shanghe Village? I heard that there was a flash flood over there and the whole village was flooded. How did you escape?"

"Thanks to Mr. Xin! That day, the county master resettled the people from Xiahe Village to our village. Mr. Xin asked us to evacuate immediately, saying that the flood was coming soon. We were unwilling to leave at first, but not far out, the flood was really serious. It’s coming!”

 “How did Mr. Xin know that the flood was coming?”

 “I’m telling you, don’t spread it everywhere.”

 Everyone listening nodded.

 “Mr. Xin, he is the reincarnation of an immortal…”

 The immortal reincarnated to save the people from fire and water. This kind of bizarre story with a mysterious color is always talked about and spreads quickly.

The news of Xinyou's accident was reported to Emperor Xingyuan immediately.

Emperor Xingyuan was discussing disaster relief matters with his ministers. After receiving the news, he overturned the teacup and let the tea soak the memorial.

 “He hasn’t been found yet?”

 “Reply to Your Majesty, the message was not available when it was sent.”

 “What did He Qingxiao do?” Emperor Xingyuan complained with a dark face and did not say any more.

The emergency report mentioned it, He Qingxiao jumped down to save people at that time, what else can be said?

It’s just that the child was too kind-hearted and devoted himself to serving the people, but he put himself in danger. The matter could no longer be discussed. Emperor Xingyuan looked at several ministers with a sullen face and said solemnly: "I want to go south personally to see what is going on."

As soon as these words came out, several ministers knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. There is a flood in the south. You are a man of ten thousand gold, how can you take risks?"

Seeing that they could not be persuaded, the ministers changed directions: "Your Majesty, there are floods in the south, frictions on the northern border, disaster management in various places, and so many things in the DPRK and China cannot do without you."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Thousands of people are your subjects and cannot live without your protection."

 …

The news spread that Emperor Xingyuan wanted to go south, and King Xiu heard about it and asked for an audience.

"What's the matter with you?" Emperor Xingyuan asked calmly, looking at his eldest son who was kneeling to salute.

 “My son is willing to go south for his father to search for and rescue Xin Taizhao.”

"Are you going?" Emperor Xingyuan frowned, a little surprised.

“Father, please rest assured that my son will do his best.”

Upon seeing this, all the ministers spoke for King Xiu one after another.

 It is better for the eldest prince to go than for the emperor to go in person.

Emperor Xingyuan thought for a long time and nodded.

  King Xiu quickly set off for Baiyun County. Except for a small number of guards from Prince Xiu's palace, most of the people he brought with him were Jinlin guards and Jingying troops.

 The person who led these pro-army troops was, to the surprise of many, Bai Ying, the daughter of General Bai.

General Bai also volunteered to go south to look for Xin Daizhao. Due to poor health, his daughter went there on her behalf.

 Although some ministers had objections to this, they could not sway Emperor Xingyuan's decision.

Thinking about the relationship between General Bai and Queen Xin, the ministers became more and more aware of the importance the emperor attached to Xin Daizhao.

Xin Daizhao personally went to pick up the coffin of the late empress and went to Beijing to suppress mountain bandits, destroy rebels, and rescue victims. His reputation among the people was immeasurable. If he can return safely, the situation in the DPRK and China may change drastically.

Unlike the commotion outside, He Qingxiao carried Xin You on his back for three days before walking out of the mountains. Fortunately, he found an Orion family. He rested at the Orion's house for a few more days. After Xin You's fever subsided and she was able to go to the ground, she was ready to leave.

 “I’ve been bothering my eldest brother and aunty these days.”

 The Orion family has only two persons, a mother and a son. It turns out that Brother Orion had a wife who had a difficult delivery a few years ago, and neither the adult nor the child could be saved. It is difficult for poor families to find a wife, so only mother and son are left to depend on each other.

He Qingxiao knows this all thanks to Mrs. Orion, who is particularly eloquent.

At this time, the aunt took Xin You's hand and told He Qingxiao: "Your wife is too thin and her bones are weak. She should make up for it when she gets home."

"Yes." Even though he had heard it many times, He Qingxiao couldn't help but feel hot every time he heard the word "daughter-in-law."

But he has always been patient with his kind elders. Even if the aunt said the same thing over and over again, he still listened patiently.

“Mom, please stop being so nagging. It makes people’s ears grow calluses.”

Auntie looked at her son and said, "Look at Xiao He, he has such a good temper. No wonder he has such a handsome wife."

Brother Orion was unconvinced and whispered: "Isn't that because Xiao He is also handsome?"

 “What did you say?” The aunt raised her voice.

 “I say you are right.”

Xinyou smiled: "Mom, brother, thank you for taking me in. I will come to see you when I return home and take care of myself."

"No, no, no, just live a good life." The aunt looked at the handsome couple, who were like golden boys and beautiful girls, and couldn't help but warn, "Xiao He, your wife is still young, so don't be in a hurry to have a baby..."

He Qingxiao's face was slightly red, but he couldn't ignore the aunt's earnest instructions: "Don't worry, aunt, we are not in a hurry to have a baby."

Xinyou lowered his head slightly.
