Chapter 495
Disliked that the coir raincoat was in the way, Master Lu untied the bamboo hat and coir raincoat directly, and threw them on the river embankment.

The cold rain hit them, and there was only the sound of roaring water and splashing rain on the embankment.

Lord Lu and the others mechanically blocked the raging river with a shovel.

Compared with the hole blocking everywhere in Hedong Village, Hexi Village is more difficult to endure.

The terrain was already low, and the river swelled so much that it overflowed the embankment in the end.

Ma Quanyou said anxiously, "Brother Lian, what should we do? It can't be blocked, but the cotton field behind us is our home. If it is flooded, it will be over."

"I know, I know." The company commander said in a panic, "I don't have so many worries now, I can only dive into the water and let's block it."

"This can't, it can't, it was washed away, and the bones can't be found." Ma Quanyou shook his head like a rattle when he heard the words.

"Listen to me, the hemp rope is tied together, and our arms are linked." The commander of the company took a step forward and took his arm and said, "We are connected to form a wall. The water is heavy, so we can't wash us all away." !"

"This?" Ma Quanyou looked at him hesitantly with a slightly changed face.

"Father, make up your mind!"

"It's a matter of human life, so we have to think carefully." Ma Quanyou said, looking at his eldest son.

"I'll take the hemp rope first." After saying that, he ignored his father and ran away.

"Is there no other way?" Ma Quanyou said, looking at him bewilderedly.

"Sandbags are the most suitable, but we have already filled the sacks with wheat." The commander of the company said honestly, "Now the water has overflowed, and the blockage can't be stopped, and the embankment is almost burst."

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted: the embankment has burst, the embankment has burst.

The two ran towards the sound, and the raging flood roared in.

"I don't have time to think about it." The head of the company looked up at Ma Quanyou and said.

"Hemp rope, hemp rope." Ma Quanyou shouted loudly.

"Here it is!" Father Ying pointed to the hemp rope that was submerged in water.

"Let's go, old guys!" Ma Quanyou said after taking the hemp rope.

"Father, how can you go up! We are young and strong, so we go up."

"Stinky boy, is this just for fun? We are older than you, and have seen more than you. You haven't married wives and children yet!" Ma Quanyou looked at his second child and said, "Okay, don't argue. Alright, let's go."

The company commander took the hemp rope and said, "Let's go."

"Brother Lian, this is a matter of our Hexi Village, why are you so active?" Ma Quanyou said as he pulled out the hemp rope from his hand.

"What's the difference between the east and the west, hurry up." The company commander gave him an annoyed look and said, "I believe we will all be safe."

The head of the company and the others began to tie the hemp rope, and even used the hemp rope brought by the boss of the Ma family.

"Are you ready?" Ma Quanyou shouted loudly.

"Ready."

"I jumped in when I counted one, two, three." Ma Quanyou shouted through his throat, "One, two, three..."

"Plop, plop..." They jumped into the raging flood.

Some were tied with hemp ropes, some had slippery feet, some were unsteady and were washed by the water, and were pulled back up the moment they fell.

Standing up tremblingly, I was beaten by the waves of the surging flood.

When they stand firm, the second group is ready, jump down, support those who are standing still, and walk forward to fill the gap.

The more than ten feet of the embankment burst, and people came down in batches, tied with hemp ropes, and arms were linked, forming a steel human wall to block the flood.

This can only reduce the flow of flood water into the fields, which is already the best result.

The commander of the company spat out the yellow mud soup in his mouth. Fortunately, the deep-water pneumothorax was tied with a hemp rope and his arms were linked.

If it was one, or two people, who were designated to be rushed without a trace.

The head of the company slightly tilted his head and looked at Ma Quanyou beside him and said, "I hope the embankment won't break again."

"I also hope that this thief will stop doing it again." Ma Quanyou said, looking up at the gloomy sky.

"Why are you still scolding, you are not afraid of being punished by God!" The company commander looked at him with a smile and said.

'Shouldn't you be scolded for this kind of rain? ' Ma Quan said angrily.

"It would be fine if I scolded it for not going down." The company commander looked up at the cloudy sky and said, "God, don't go down."

One after another, don't let the thief go down, and finally they all merged together and rushed into the sky: God the thief, don't go down.

Lord Lu looked at the other side of the river with sharp eyes, "How long can this embankment last?"

"I don't know how long it will last." Lian Wanyou hurriedly said after hearing the words, "It's all loess. To be honest, it has grown so big. This river has never produced such a large amount of water. This is the first time I have seen it."

"It's a matter of time before the embankment breaks." Ye Sanniang said, looking at Master Lu with stern eyes.

"Then what should we do?" Lord Lu looked at her anxiously and said.

Hearing the sound of the embankment bursting from the other side, Mr. Lu's heart was in his throat.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Master Lu was circling around like ants on a hot pan.

"Look, look." Lian Wanyou pointed to the opposite river bank and said, "Lord Lu."

"What are they trying to do?" Master Lu asked, looking at the other side with his eyes widened like copper bells.

"Jump in, make a human wall, and stop the flood from pouring into the fields and homes." Ye Sanniang said, looking at the simple men with a moved expression.

"Nonsense, nonsense, I jumped down and was washed away, leaving no bones left." Lord Lu shouted towards the other side, "No, no." He jumped so anxiously that his voice was shattered.

"Master Lu, calm down, they are tied with hemp rope and their arms are linked, everything will be fine." Ye Sanniang said confidently, "Look!"

Master Lu looked over through the rain and fog, and sure enough, he was well prepared, and the people who were submerged in the water were pulled up in an instant.

Master Lu watched them stand firmly in the flood, like a solid city wall, resisting the raging flood with their flesh and blood.

"Aren't they afraid?" Lord Lu said with trembling lips.

"Afraid, why not? Who is not afraid of death." Lian Wanyou choked his hands on his knees and said, "But what can we do? Someone has to stand up. Behind us is the crop field and our home. It's over."

"God, don't get off."

Master Lu looked at the imposing farmer on the other side in astonishment, "Is this kind of scolding useful?"

"Who knows? Somebody has to vent their anger!" Ye Sanniang smiled slightly, curling up her lips.

"That's God." Lord Lu said slightly turning his head to look at her.

"What's wrong, shouldn't you be scolding?" Ye Sanniang looked at him with shining eyes and said, "Oh!" She said in surprise, "I feel that the rain has become smaller."

"It seems to be." Lian Wanyou said excitedly, looking at the opposite riverside road, "I can see it more clearly." He said with certainty, "That's right."
