Chapter 192 Flood
"What's the matter? What happened? Where are they?"

Shen Qingling raised her hand and waved at Goudan, and asked loudly.

Goudan let out a cry, raised his head and opened his mouth to catch the rain, and said, "I followed and disappeared. I wanted to look back for you, but the man kicked me into the mud ditch, which made me struggle a lot. .”

The rain is strong and the wind is strong. If the dog's egg does not know water, it will be dead by now.

Seeing Shaoying hanging on Shen Qingling's body with her head hanging down, Goudan panicked, ran over to help him, and asked, "What's wrong with my master? Why did he suffer such a serious injury?" ?”

"He's fine. He's a little dazed after taking the medicine, but he hasn't fainted yet. But we have to leave here quickly. When the flood comes, this place will be submerged." Shen Qingling said.

Don't look at Goudan's small size, but his strength is not small at all. Standing on tiptoe to support Shen Qingling, Shen Qingling saved a lot of strength.

"Then what should they do?" Goudan raised his head and asked.

Shen Qingling knew that Wu Wen was restless, but he didn't expect that he would dare to act like this, and even wanted to kill Goudan.However, fortunately, Goudan is fine, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

"Run away if people run away, it's okay." Shen Qingling continued to walk forward, "Don't care about him, let's wait for the other person here, if the time for a stick of incense is not up, then we will go back to Liu Huan first. Ditch Village."

Ren Shaochun is not stupid, even if he gets lost, he should know where is safe and where is not.

Since she couldn't wait for him, Shen Qingling could only take Shaoying away first.

There was constant rumbling thunder, and the rain didn't seem to stop for a while. After waiting for Ren Shaochun to arrive, Shen Qingling yelled for the dog, and the two carried Shaoying to Liugou Village.

The Yellow River has indeed burst its banks.

Tao Tao's flood swept the area along the river an hour later, and all the houses in the low-lying areas were knocked down and submerged.Some lucky people escaped to a safe place before the river flooded, and thus escaped disaster, but in this way, their family properties and fields were gone.

And the gang of Tianri Sect didn't take the captured labor with them when they ran away by themselves.

Anyway, people don't need Jing Tianming to watch over them, and they don't need him to restrain them, they just need to order the people under him to do it.The result was a group of tired men shackled by iron chains, like pigs and dogs, being hooked and crawling in the mud.

Fortunately, his life was saved.

After Shen Qingling brought Goudan and Shaoying back to Liugou Village, she didn't stay long, but called on the people to evacuate to higher places.When the people in the nearby village heard the wind, they also followed Shen Qingling and the others, not daring to delay.

Of course, there are also those who are reluctant to part with their houses and fields.

Regarding this, Shen Qingling didn't say anything else, and ordered the villagers next to him to knock him out and carry him away, so as not to waste time explaining and persuading him.

A mighty group of about a hundred people, under the leadership of Shen Qingling, hid on the Que'er Mountain a few dozen miles behind Liugou Village.There was a wandering doctor accompanying him, who knew some medical skills, but not much, barely enough to treat people in the village with headaches and fever.

Since there is a doctor, Shen Qingling doesn't care how capable this person is, first handed Shaoying over, and led Goudan to patrol on Que'er Mountain.

"Sister, why are we patrolling?" Goudan is a clever ghost, and after seeing Shen Qingling's ability and brains, he shouted sweeter than anyone else.

Shen Qingling held the weapon in his hand all the time, while looking around, he said in his mouth:
"After the flood, many people ran for their lives in a hurry. They had no money or food, and they would have evil intentions."

"We have gathered hundreds of people. There are not only people from your village and the neighboring village here. Don't be careful. Who knows what changes will happen after nightfall?"

And, most importantly...

Floods are often accompanied by plagues.

The corpses of those who died in the flood usually developed countless diseases after days and nights of soaking.

In other words, now is the time to collect food. Pick up the edible ones and put them away. After a few days, the food you can pick up will have to be weighed before you can eat it.

"Sister, you are amazing." Goudan stared at him.

"I'm not very good." Shen Qingling turned her head to look at him, rubbed his wet hair with empty hands, and said, "It's because I have seen it with my own eyes, so I know what to guard against, it's human life The accumulated experience... I hope this time, that kind of tragedy will not happen again."

At the same time, dozens of memorials were sent from Hedong to Gyeonggi.

The flood disaster was presented to the emperor.

Although the treasury was empty, the emperor still allocated 600 million taels of silver to Hedong for disaster relief, and even appointed three servants as imperial envoys to go directly to Hedong to allocate relief money and food.

Shou Wang Li Yu and Xue Yu were also among the disaster relief officials.

What the two of them didn't know was that the person they were thinking of was leading a group of victims to support themselves on the barren hills in the area near the most severe disaster.

-

After several days of recuperation, Shaoying's injury barely improved.

And because of Shen Qingling's foresight and planning, among the hundreds of people hiding on Que'er Mountain, none of them got sick. Although eating and drinking could not be regarded as sufficient food and clothing, none of them starved to death.

Three meals a day, basically everyone can eat one meal.

The elderly and children should eat more than adults.

In addition to patrolling the mountain jungle every time, the adults also have to hunt and lookout.

In fact, there is no prey on Que'er Mountain. It was originally a barren mountain, and there are at most some birds on weekdays. Larger animals are not seen at all.

Therefore, when hunting birds, we must send those who have good eyesight and accurate head.

As for patrols and lookouts...

The former is to prevent bad people from visiting Queer Mountain, and the latter is to avoid missing the imperial court's reinforcements.

By the 15th, the flood waters had receded for the most part. Looking down from Queer Mountain, you could see houses that had been washed up and down, as well as unrecognizable corpses.

Seeing that the flood was gone, some people refused to listen and wanted to go home.

Shen Qingling didn't force them to stay, she just told them what was going on and what would happen when she went home now, and also explained that she couldn't come back after she left, so she let them go down the mountain.

This time, 30 people left.

Goudan didn't quite understand, so he sat beside Shen Qingling with his chin on his hands, and asked, "Sister, why did you allow them to go down the mountain? If it wasn't for your help these days, we would have starved to death."

"If you keep them no matter what, they will only blame you." Shen Qingling polished the arrow cluster in her hand, and replied: "If you force them to stay, that kind of resentment will spread on the mountain, and then there will be troubles , the gain outweighs the loss."

Goudan, who half understood, nodded, and continued to ask: "Then what you just said, is it true? Or is it just to scare them."
