In the mortal world, Jiankang
The flood has been going on for three days, and there seems to be no intention of stopping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, Jiankang was surrounded by dams on all sides, which made the panicked people put down a little. But as time passed, the flood continued to hit the dam, making people panic all day long
Ran Min was the same, and he was also a little worried about whether the newly repaired dam would be able to withstand the beast-like flood. He was also worried about Yin Luren, he had already sent someone to check the county lord's mansion, but there was no trace of him. Ran Min once again had no news of her, and there was no way to investigate. The county master is as timid as a mouse and will not act rashly, so Yin Luren's disappearance can almost be eliminated by him
Only then did Ran Min find that every time he disconnected from Yin Luren, it would be difficult to find her. It made him feel a little at a loss for what to do......
It is important to find Yin Luren, but the most important thing at the moment is how to take care of the wounded of this entire yamen
At the beginning of the flood, the people at the foot of Zhongshan were the first to be affected. Several villages were submerged, and only a few people survived with some of the thicker tree trunks
It took a lot of effort for Ran Min and others to rescue all the survivors.
On the day of the flood, Ran Min feared that people would fall into a riot, so he arranged for them to hide in the yamen. Fortunately, the dam was not as fragile as he feared, and it lasted for a whole day without any cracks, and there were wounded people, so it was natural to let the yamen out and use them as shelter. Some zealous people also volunteered to take care of the wounded
Just as Ran Min was changing the bandage for an injured person, a servant hurriedly ran up. When he ran up the steps, he almost fell, and after standing firmly, he continued to run in front of Ran Min and said, "Oh no! Cultivating the Hou! ”
When the officials learned that there was a flood in Jiankang, they all wanted to leave in a hurry, but they found that the exit was blocked by floods all around. He died of this heart to leave, thinking of hiding at home to avoid the flood, but this Xiu Chenghou did not let them get their wish. And they are asked to continue to run errands
They wanted to resist at first, but they were deterred by Ran Min, and then they complained every day, cursing and complaining, and every time they were far away from Ran Min, thinking that out of sight was pure
Today, he suddenly hurriedly ran to Ran Min, Ran Min was a little puzzled, but he felt that they were all waste, and he wouldn't find anything big in the future, so he was a little impatient and said, "Say!" ”
The official anxiously pointed to the northern direction and stammered, "North... North... Dam to the north...... Washed away by the flood!! ”
Ran Min stood up in shock and said, "What! ”
The official thought that he was stammering, but Ran Min didn't hear it clearly, so he repeated it again, "The dam in the north has collapsed!" ”
How is it possible, the dam on the north side was the first to be repaired, the most perfect. How could it be possible to fall down that dam first. Moreover, although Lu Ren is not in the county prince's mansion, he is not allowed to be in other places in the north......
Thinking of this, Ran Min immediately set off to the north to check. But as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by the officer
Ran Min glared angrily, "Let it go!" ”
The official let go of his hand in fear, but he still intercepted Ran Min and didn't let him leave. Just as Ran Min was about to get angry, the official said, "The situation over there is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die in the flood." Now the brothers are already laying stones at the roadcar."
After listening to the words of the officer, Ran Min was stunned and said, "It's a stone!" ”
The official lowered his head with some weakness and whispered, "Yes, yes"
Ran Min immediately said angrily: "Stone masonry! Once the stone is built, it will seal the retreat of the people in the north, do you want to watch them die!! ”
The official was a little weak and a little ashamed, but he still said confidently, "If we don't lay stones, once the flood spreads here, we will all die!" Although we are ministers, we are all mortal flesh! We're all afraid of death! ”
"You ......" Ran Min was already speechless in surprise, and he had nothing to refute. Yes, once the masonry is abandoned, the flood will spread here. Ran Min went to check with some selfishness, if it weren't for Yin Luren, he wouldn't have acted so hastily. Maybe they will even take the initiative to arrange stone masonry
"Anyway, I'm going to check it out!" Ran Min was a little upset, and he always felt that Yin Luren was in the north
The official thought that Ran Min still did not give up to stop the masonry, so he continued to stop in front of Ran Min and did not let him walk out of the yamen for half a minute
The irritable Ran Min pushed it away and said angrily, "Get out!" ”
The official fell to the ground and was unable to stand up, so he couldn't stop Ran Min's pace
As soon as Ran Min walked out of the yamen, another official ran over and hurriedly said, "Master Hou!" Oh no!! ”
Ran Min rubbed his eyebrows irritably, and said patiently, "What's the matter!" ”
"Master Hou, something big happened to the south! When the people here learned that the dam in the north had collapsed, they rushed to the south for refuge! As a result, there was an entanglement along the way, and then some of the people who fled to the south were stopped by the locals there and prevented from entering, and finally the two of them fought, and there was a riot! "The scene was so chaotic that it took the officer a hard time to describe it
Sure enough, worries always happen! Ran Min was so shocked by the succession of bad things that he lost his temper. I had to abandon the north and go to the south to quell the riots...
North
The once extravagant and bustling streets have been flooded, and a few scattered corpses float above the sand and yellow floodwaters. There were children, women, half-year-olds, sturdy men, who were still alive before the flood. They may have been frightened and hesitant about this sudden flood. But now they don't have to worry about that, because their lives have stopped at this moment
Regardless of whether they were hooligans or wealthy when they were alive, now, they are all the same. No one bothered to recognize them, and occasionally floating corpses collided together
Yiju Inn is the tallest building located in the north of Jiankang, and even though the flood flooded the entire inn, a small corner roof tiled roof was exposed. And it was the tiled roof of this small corner that became a lifesaver for the surviving people, and everyone spared no effort to swim forward
However, this tiled roof is only so big, how can it accommodate so many people? When the straw is getting shorter and shorter, and people's chances of survival are getting lower and lower, they begin to let go of the so-called humanity. They pushed each other, then got into a big fight, and finally... Start killing
A few people who knew each other joined forces to push the rest of them down and pressed them on top of their heads to prevent them from climbing up, slowly drowning them in the flood
Some of the people who were pushed down were not willing to die, so they pulled them down with the trousers of the man who pressed them on top of their heads, and did not let go of them
When it was all over, and there were only three people left on the tiled roof, they all breathed a sigh of relief
Before they could finish their breath, they lifted it up again, because they saw another figure swimming not far away. Although they only saw a figure, they were still very vigilant, who knows, whether this person is dragging his family?
After the man swam closer, the three of them could be sure that he was alone, but they were still vigilant, because the person who swam here was Fan Boyang, the son of the famous Zhen Jiankang!
