MTL - Wings of Hung Chien-Chapter 74 74

This time, I really want to go.

Si Hongcang looked at the familiar people in the crowd one by one, including the village head, Aunt Gao Kang, Zhao's family, Lin's family, and all the people she knew, even the little boy's family who was married and called "A Cang". They, and Wang Rong's father, who was standing outside the crowd gloating at her, had the undisguised and carefree appearance, nibbling melon seeds leisurely, Si Hongcang couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but look at the Yun family again.

Yun Ruo... After waking up, he must be heartbroken, right? However, time will heal everything!

In the future, as time goes by, he will gradually forget her, right?

Today's "birth and separation" is really difficult to endure!

Si Hongcang sighed slightly and looked away from the bad situation he had lived in for many years.

The houses and trees in the village, except for the Yungao family, are far more cordial to her than some people.

After watching all this, Si Hongcang waved to Ji Ruyan, "Let's go!"

Say it before you go.

Ji Ruyan twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling like a bodyguard escorting the princess, everything was obeyed by Si Hongcang. But she couldn't stop and say no, so she waved to her subordinates, and the team set off.

Si Hongcang and his party did not go far, and when they came to the foot of Yanling Mountain, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Also because of the rain, it is really impossible to move forward!

The steep mountain wall has a stunning landscape of three steps and one waterfall, and five steps and one flying Lian. In addition to Feilian Waterfall, there were rockfalls, and even worse, there were several landslides.

Because of the memory of reports and images of natural disasters in previous lives, Si Hongcang also verified the current development of the rain again and again. Moreover, I heard from the older generation that the autumn rain will be a disaster.

If the heavy rain continues like this, I am afraid it will really flood!

Because of the rain, these two days, they all hid in a natural cave under Yanling Mountain.

Because Yannan Village is located in a mountainous area with high terrain, and Si Hongcang invited Aunt Gao Kang in advance to ask the village chief to mobilize the villagers, almost all the crops have been harvested in advance, so it should be fine.

I'm afraid of those low-lying Yanhui county capitals, as well as other villages and towns in eight townships outside the city...

Although she had also entrusted the village head to let Lu Jiachuan go to the county government office to announce.

Just thinking of the county magistrate Lu who only knew how to corrupt loot and bend the law, Si Hongcang couldn't have a good impression of her, let alone trust.

I thought to myself, ask her to do something? Undoubtedly, you are asking ghosts to pay for the medicine list, stay safe!

Thinking of this, Si Hongcang has already done his best, and the rest can only resign. I just hope this rain is not as bad as she estimated.

"How many people did you mobilize this time?" Si Hongcang asked.

"Do you know how many people there are, does it make any difference to you?" Ji Ruyan gave her a sideways glance.

"Of course there is a difference."

"Do you think Bai Yi alone can withstand our 2,000 soldiers?"

"Two thousand soldiers..."

"Humph!"

"Go down the mountain!"

"What do you want to do?"

"You'd better send someone to the Yanhui County government office to report a letter, saying that the low-lying places in Yanhui County may be flooded! The crops can be harvested as much as possible, and the adults in the prefecture city must instruct all the people to take them out. It is better to store whole grains and miscellaneous grains in high places, and it is better to evacuate the people from the city to the high mountains to avoid disasters.”

"Are you alarming people? Or are you trying to escape?"

"Have you never seen a torrential rain disaster?"

"...Of course there is, but I've never heard of water that can drown the entire city. At most, it submerged to the knees, and the water subsided very quickly."

"You're talking about the spring flood season, but it's autumn now. Don't you think the rain in autumn is not the season?"

"As a soldier, I'm not a crop, so is it time for the rain to come?"

"When the people are in trouble, even the generals should stand up to help, right?"

"Of course."

After hearing what Ji Ruyan said, Si Hongcang looked at her intently with an irresistible look.

After that, he said to her, "I want to borrow your subordinates."

"This..." When Ji Ruyan first faced her, she almost nodded in agreement, but she immediately woke up. asked, "Why?"

"Just because the deep forest in the high mountain area is so messed up, then in Yanhui County, where the entire hundred rivers and rivers gather at the foot of the mountain, those people are probably even more critical!"

"You think too much!"

"I don't want to think about it, I can only know if I go down the mountain and verify it myself!"

The rain was pouring down, and it had not stopped for days.

At this moment, Si Hongcang heard an unusual sound. It was as if a large mixer was vigorously stirring the mud and stone not far away, and there was a slight earthquake on the ground they were standing on. moving.

Si Hongcang became more and more wrong, and shouted loudly, "If you don't want to die, run to the bottom right!"

But in an instant, in front of their eyes, a large piece of viscous mud poured down, and it was fierce. A large stone lined up by five people standing in front of them was instantly pushed down the mountain by a large amount of debris, submerged in the debris flow, and disappeared.

"Landslide...landslide?"

Witnessing the arrival of natural disasters and witnessing the situation of human beings at a loss in the face of disasters, all people's bodies trembled slightly. If he hadn't listened to Si Hongcang's words just now and jumped away, he would have been killed at this moment.

However, at this time, the landslide did not stop, but it was getting worse and worse. Seeing that it was about to bring disaster to them not far away, Si Hongcang roared, "Ji Ruyan, why are you still in a daze, back quickly, and run away. what!"

Everyone jumped to a few big trees that were not washed away by the landslide.

However, in the blink of an eye, the road ahead was blocked, and they were all trapped on a few old trees in the landslide.

Si Hongcang has lived in a big city since he was a child. Although he has often heard news reports that landslides have killed many people, he has not really felt the harm of it.

Si Hongcang's face was gray, and his clothes were extremely messy. She stared blankly at the pouring landslide, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"Damn it! Below is the Xiaoqing River. The earth and rock flow will silt up the river! I want to go back to Yannan Village! I want to tell everyone, let everyone run away quickly." She clutched Ji Ruyan's sleeve tightly and looked flustered. Incomparably pale.

She didn't realize that Ji Ruyan's face was even paler, her eyes darkened for a moment, she shook her whole body and let go of her hand.

Landslides are generally accompanied by heavy rains and floods. In recent days, it has been raining heavily in the entire Yanhui County, which is the most prone to disasters.

The hillsides around Yanhui County may roll down at any time, and the flood will roar at any time. And this time, it was the first time in a hundred years that it rained so heavily for so many days, and it would be a catastrophic catastrophe.

Thinking in the worst direction, Yanhui County will be flooded!

Ji Ruyan looked at the terrifying scene in front of him, and suddenly his feet were empty, and he fell from the tree.

Si Hongcang reacted, quickly flew down, took her hand and stood firmly on the safe ground.

"Ji Ruyan, are you okay?"

Ji Ruyan stared blankly at Si Hongcang, whose hands were still bound by ropes, but he was able to fly over and hold him firmly, "You actually know martial arts?!"

"Yes, but you should untie the rope on my hand first. Besides, I don't think your boss would want you to bring a corpse back to work." Si Hongcang stretched out his hands towards Ji Ruyan's face. .

"All go to Yanhui County!" Ji Ruyan ordered while untying the rope for Si Hongcang.

Towards the evening, Si Hongcang's group quietly returned to the west of Yannan Village, but she avoided the door.

Looking at Yannan Village from a distance, although it was immersed in the heavy rain, it was still peaceful.

I don't know how Yun Ruo is at the moment? mad at her? Annoy her? Or hate her?

Ugh…..

If I knew it would be like this, I really shouldn't have provoke him in the first place! I have nothing to provoke this love debt, how should I pay it back?

Seeing that almost all the crops that could be harvested in the fields were harvested, I thought to myself that there should not be any major losses in Yannan Village.

A little reassured, Si Hongcang followed Ji Ruyan's group and rushed to Yanhui County.

Two days ago, the Lu family was instructed by his mother, Lu Yuanxiang, to immediately go to the yamen and beat the drums in front of the door.

An official rubbed his eyes and opened the door. When he saw the disgraced Lu family, his eyes were filled with contempt, "Who is in front of the door?

"People's daughter Lu Jiachuan, Jinke Tanhua's wife Lu Jiaqin's younger sister." Seeing the contempt in the other's eyes, Lu Jiachuan couldn't help but explode the house.

"What's the matter?"

"It's been pouring down and pouring rain, and the girl feels that the weather is abnormal, and it may lead to the possibility of floods, so she came to report quickly and hoped that the county magistrate could take some preventive measures in advance..."

"Oh, this." The other party waved his hand. "Our county magistrate is not here. When she returns, I will inform you again."

Seeing that the official wanted to close the door, Lu Jiachuan hurriedly said, "No, the Minnu wants to report more than this. There has already been a landslide in the mountainous area! Moreover, the attack is fierce, and the Minnu is afraid that it will block the river and cause floods. It's not too late to clear the landslides that rolled down the river. The lady begged the adults to do their best to..."

The official yawned, waved his hand, and said, "For hundreds of years, mud and rocks have rolled into the river. This kind of thing is very common. This kind of thing is reported to the official, disturbing us to rest, and alarmist, walking around. The county magistrate has just built the dam, and even if the flood hits, it won't be able to flood Yanhui County!"

"What if..."

"If Miss Lu San is timid, you'd better go back to Yannan Village." The official glanced at Lu Jia Chuan with contempt, and closed the yamen with a "snack", interrupting Lu Jia Chuan's unfinished words.

Even though Lu Jiachuan wanted to do his best, the officials in the county government office didn't want to take matters into his own hands, so he had to return without success.

This is how major floods are often formed. Even if there is no precaution, plus the silting of the river, what is even worse is that they cut corners when building the dam. Natural disasters that could have been mitigated have resulted in inevitable natural and man-made disasters!

…………

When the group rushed over, what they saw was the time when the river was flooding...

Si Hongcang was in a hurry when he saw the turbulent water in the river, which was full of khaki and dirty.

"These ignorant ancients! They have already sent people to the county government to report the possibility of a major flood, and they have to clear the river in advance! I didn't think so, so let's just leave it alone?! Don't you know that this will add up to more, no matter how wide it is? The river will also be blocked. Once it is blocked and such torrential rain falls, the river will rise, and it will not be able to be dredged downward, and will rise upward. The backlash of the river is fierce, and it will break the dam and flood the entire Yanhui County!"

"The river has washed up on the embankment, and it seems that I can't help you, let's go." Ji Ruyan sighed shockingly.

"No! Lay sandbags! Before the river is full, it's still safe for us all to pack sandbags!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and the intuition is that Si Hongcang is crazy! The flood has already begun to flood the shore, and she still wants to do such a useless stupid thing? Doesn't seem to believe much that she would do anything useful.

"Si Hongcang, I know that you are right to return to the city for Yan to save the siege. However, the river is flooding, so let's go quickly." Ji Ruyan said.

"Then put sandbags and build up bags first, and raise the embankment a little bit. You can slow it down first, so as not to let the river water pour up too quickly, and let the people in the county have more time to evacuate! Master Ji, it's up to you, go If you ask the magistrate to find more helpers to help, she will definitely give you a face no matter how much she pushes it!"

"...Okay, Li Quan, follow me to the county office. Ye Ming, Han Song, you all stay here and help Si Hongcang find someone to help pack the sandbags."

"Yes!"

At this time, I saw a group of people hurried over with pale faces. Seeing Si Hongcang and the others, they said in surprise, "You guys, why are you still here? Why don't you run for your life?"

"What happened, why are you so panicked?"

The visitor said bitterly, "We all went to other places to buy rice. Because of the heavy rain in the past few days, all the grain that should have been harvested in one month after the entire Yanhui County was soaked in water and lost. Not only is there no food to pay taxes, but even the rice grains that are going to pass the winter in front of you are gone!"

"In the end, when we went to Yanzhou City, the road to Liangzhou was blocked by large rocks. Moreover, the road to Mincheng was also blocked. Now, if you want to go out to buy rice, you have to go from Zhanchuan. Also, we also want to inform People in the county town rushed for their lives." Others sighed.

Si Hongcang thought to himself. In addition to the Zhanchuan road, so to speak, Yanhui County, which was originally connected in all directions, has now become a dead city. If Yanhui County were flooded, the road to Zhanchuan would be unbearably blocked.

At this moment, there was a commotion, and Si Hongcang looked up.

"Let go of me, let me go." A disgraced girl rushed in, and two middle-aged women rushed behind to clamp her down.

The person who came came remembered something and said, "On my way back just now, this girl suddenly and desperately stopped in front of my car. I avoided her and left, and she threw a stone and hit the wheel of the carriage, causing me to almost overturn. I was about to torture her why she hurt me."

"Is it you, Mei Jiheng?" Si Hongcang exclaimed.

The girl who was restrained was Mei Jiheng, the younger sister of Mei Jixuan's troupe of the Mei family. She saw Si Hongcang twisting and breaking free from restraint, and hurriedly said, "Sister Si Hong! Are you here too?!"

"How do you..."

"It was the grandmother who asked me to come to the county government to play drums to report a major matter to the county magistrate."

"What's up?"

"Recently, my grandmother's knee has been sore, and today, it is even more painful. My grandmother said that it only happens when it rains heavily. Also, everyone said that things like mudslides have always slipped recently. Into the Xiaoqing River. This was always the case when there was a flood of water in the past.

So, let me come to Yanhui County to report to Mrs. Xian. Seeing that the direction of their carriage was also heading for the county seat, they hurriedly took action. She pulled Si Hongcang's sleeve and said anxiously, "Whether you believe it or not, leave here quickly. Jiheng has always had a bad premonition recently... I always feel that this heavy rain is too unusual! "

"I believe you." Si Hongcang patted her on the back and said, "That's why I came here. Besides, Mr. Ji, who came with me, has already gone to the county magistrate, so you don't have to. One more run."

"That's great!"

"By the way, Jiheng, you can find a gong and drum, and be responsible for beating the gong and drum, so that the people in the county can leave the city for refuge early! You can also find some strong people to help, let's build sandbags together. ."

Mei Jiheng shook his head, "Okay! I'll go right now."

"Excuse me."

"Yes, I am also a resident of Yanhui County."

"Well, everything has to be fast! Otherwise, as long as there is another heavy rainstorm, it will be a matter of time before Yanhui County will be submerged. Now there is only one route to Zhanchuan to take refuge. There are tens of thousands of people in Yanhui County. When the crowd is crowded, can you really escape successfully? It rains heavily, encounters landslides and landslides on the road, and everything is over.

At that time, if you are lucky enough to escape to Zhanchuan, will the gates of Zhanchuan open wide in the face of so many victims? Also, when the flood hits, food prices are bound to hit a new high. "Si Hongcang looked at the stunned group of people and said, "You guys should hurry up and ask the county citizens to pack up and escape!" "

After speaking, Si Hongcang ignored them and instructed Ji Ruyan's subordinates to do what they were supposed to do.

After some vigorous publicity by beating gongs and drums, the alert people in the county town began to work hard to pack their things. Sure enough, not long after, the rain gradually became heavier. The air was hot and humid, and the sky was vague, with a few flashes of lightning.

The author has something to say:
