People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 52 052: Flood Disaster

Today, although the sky is cloudy, not a drop of rain has fallen.The clouds above are deep and the sky is full of stars, leaving only the faint starlight.

After the pancakes were eaten, everyone gathered their energy and wanted to continue working, but Cui's mother strictly stopped them and asked everyone to rest for a while before continuing to work.

"Xiaolan, I'll go and pull the ferry to the door. I won't let the water rise at night and take it away." Cui Lushi reminded.

"Oh, Auntie, take Bo Yan with you. It's dark, and there's someone to take care of you." After Cui Lushi reminded her, Cai Xiaolan suddenly remembered that she had an unsinkable boat.Maybe it can play a bigger role in this flood.

……

It was a quarter of Yin at night, and there was still half an hour left in the countdown to the flood predicted by "Little Buping".Cai Xiaolan added another shovelful of charcoal to the fire.

There are too many people who have stayed up all night.

Passing through Yangzhou City, there are a total of eight big rivers.Passing through Yangzhou Prefecture, there are 21 large rivers in total.Three of them are at risk of bursting their banks.

Thanks to Cai Xiaolan's early warning, the risky sections of the two major rivers have been reinforced.Each has a Sima leading one or two (the two are established in the Tang Dynasty, one, two, five, a total of 25 people, and the chief is Sima) soldiers and horses guarding the side, blocking the gap at any time.

And there was another one that had a small hole dug out.The river has been flowing so far that it is on the verge of bursting its banks.

"Changshi, run quickly. You can't keep it!" The pawn chief (the pawn was established in the Tang Dynasty, with one pawn and four liang, a total of 100 people, and a pawn chief) ran to Zeng Changshi's side to report the news.

"A full 100 people can't defend a river dam that is less than ten feet?" Zeng Wenchang roared, and he was wronged for losing the position.

It turns out that he just used to show off in front of Li Yunguang.Who knew that Li Yunguang actually sent him.He led one or two soldiers and horses to guard the Sanpi River.The other three or two soldiers and horses came to support later.

"The soil can't be covered at all. We haven't prepared anything else. All the trees nearby have been cut down. Still can't stop it, the gap is getting bigger and bigger!" If it wasn't a last resort, the soldier commander would not have time to report the news.

"It's all the damn good landlord's fault. If it was three years ago, I would have killed their family from top to bottom, and thrown them into the river to block the gap." Zeng Wenchang's tyrannical side was fully revealed at this moment.

When they first arrived, they found several spade marks on the dam.This is clearly man-made.

"My lord, give the order quickly, or you won't be able to leave later!" the soldier commander urged.Just now, several soldiers almost fell into the river.With such a huge flow of water, whoever falls in will die.

From a high place, Zeng Wenchang looked at the fields upstream and the villages faintly downstream, and shouted: "Brothers, the destiny cannot be violated. Let's turn our soldiers into two, and Sima will lead the team to notify the villagers downstream and tell them Run to a higher place quickly!"

……

As soon as the soldiers withdrew, the whole river dam with a gap collapsed, and the river surged and poured to the side.

Half an hour later, the engineering clerk in charge of measuring the water line found that the water line was rising in a straight line, and his face instantly turned pale. He immediately realized that there were three dangerous river sections, at least one of which could no longer be blocked at this moment.

"Go back and tell your lord that the flood is coming!"

In less than a moment, an announcement shocked the whole city: the Sanpi River broke its embankment, the flood has arrived, and everyone should avoid the disaster properly.

It was exactly the time predicted by "Little Injustice".

At this moment, outside the city of Yangzhou and inside the mansion of Yangzhou, the people who were besieged by the water, saw that it had not rained for a day, and thought that the water was going to recede.I wanted to relax for a while, but I didn't expect a wave of water one foot high to rush towards me.

The situation here is not the worst.In some mountainous areas with loose soil, mudslides flow down.Unfortunately, it was flooded immediately.

……

"Everyone, wake up, the water has risen again!" Cui Boyan shouted.

Everyone woke up suddenly, the official road that could be seen yesterday was completely underwater at this moment.The base of Tianfu Jucaiju is like an isolated island in the sea.It was a vast expanse, with no land in sight.

"Will it rise again?" Xu Yinlian walked to the edge of the foundation, the waterline was less than a foot away from her feet.

"I don't know. However, we have to assume that it will continue to rise and make plans in advance." Cai Xiaolan didn't know.

Whether the water will rise depends on the source, if the source of water is huge, it will grow rapidly; second, on the downstream, if there is not enough space for flood discharge downstream, the water will accumulate.

"Then continue to bake bricks!" Someone raised his mouth, and Cai Xiaolan remembered what happened to the bricks she had burned all night yesterday.

Use a wooden stick to poke the fire in the center of the yard, there are still some sparks inside.The clumps of dirt below are particularly eye-catching.

Cai Xiaolan took a piece from the outside.

This black brick is from the earliest batch. It is warm to the touch and has a hard texture.

"Let me see how hard you are!" Cai Xiaolan shouted and slammed the brick to the ground.

The brick immediately fell apart.

"Oh, it's just a silver-like pewter tip. I thought it was so hard, but it turned out to be so fragile." Cui Boyan was very disappointed. The thing that he had been busy all night last night failed.

Master Cai is not someone who gives up easily. She picked up a black brick fragment on the ground and tried hard with one hand, but it didn't crush it. "Hey, try it, it seems to be okay!"

Hearing this, everyone got a piece.It is really hard!
"Hey! It's a success!" Cui Boyan was pleasantly surprised. He was the one who said it was a failure just now; it's him who said it was a success now.If Wang Ji was here, he would definitely shake his head again, thinking he was reckless.

Cai Xiaolan used wooden sticks to pick out the black bricks one by one.The regular shape at the front was okay, but the strange-shaped bricks appeared at the back, which aroused everyone's ridicule and did not admit that they were made.

"Let's eat first. After the meal, the black bricks will probably be completely cold, so we'll put them aside neatly." Cui Lushi brought the cakes baked last night and threw them directly into the fire pit.Just heat it up and you're ready to eat.

Cai Xiaolan's usual action when eating in the morning is to watch the light screen to clear the task.Today it’s time to refresh the normal tasks again.

"Oh, why is it money again!" Cai Xiaolan was very disappointed when she saw the newly spawned mission.With the current flood, she desperately needs more items.

"Auntie, I'm going to take a boat back to Liujiazhuang later to see how Mr. Wang's house is doing. If it collapses, I'll bring him here." Cai Xiaolan discussed with Cui Lushi.

When Cui Lu heard that Cai Xiaolan was going to the deep place, she felt 1 unhappy.But she knew she couldn't stop it, Xiaolan's conduct was too noble, it's a pity that she was a daughter.

"You go, I have me at home. I will weave the rattan nets and surround the fish pond during the day. The black bricks will continue to be fired. But Auntie has a request, and you must agree." Cui Lu's eyes Tears overflowed.

Cai Xiaolan nodded quickly.

"You must protect yourself, save yourself if you can, and don't ruin your life. You must come back before dark." Cui Lushi urged ten thousand.

A small boat, under the worried eyes of the crowd, slowly moved away.

　Suddenly I have a bold idea, can some book friends who like this book send a reward to try?Or you can get a monthly pass.
