Chapter 12: Assisting in Disaster Relief (Part II)
Guo Lingfei walked to Xiao Ding again, touched Xiao Ding's head, smiled softly, and said, "Xiao Ding, where is your mother, take my brother to see." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Okay." Xiao Ding nodded obediently.
Guo Lingfei and his group walked for a long time, and the sheep intestine path was not only muddy, but also very remote.
Xiao Ding and his mother lived in a dilapidated thatched house, the roof tiles were broken, and they simply laid some thatch in the cracks, and it was estimated that it would be heavy rain on rainy days.
Xiao Ding ran quickly to a woman's side. The woman lay there with thatch as a mat, her face was sallow, and she lay there motionless, if it weren't for the ups and downs of her chest, Guo Lingfei really suspected that this was a dead person.
Guo Lingfei found at this time that this dilapidated thatched house not only lived Xiao Ding and his mother, but also many haystacks. It seems that it is still a disaster town.
"Mother, Xiaoding is back?" Xiao Ding held his mother's hand and shouted softly.
"Well, Xiao Ding, I'm back. Grandpa Liu brought you a steamed bun, go to the back and eat it. Xiao Ding's mother said, coughing from time to time.
"Mother, have you eaten?"
"After eating, my mother is tired and is going to sleep. You can eat it yourself. "Xiao Ding's mother is as angry as a gossamer.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"What's wrong? Silly boy. ”
"I, I'm ......," Ding choked up, then cried and said, "I didn't get a doctor." I'm sorry. ”
"Silly child, does my mother tell you that good people have good rewards? Mother herself is blessed by God. ”
"Xiaoding, don't cry. Later, my brother will ask the servant to take you to the doctor. Guo Lingfei interrupted their conversation, gently hugged Xiao Ding, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Xiao Ding, you go to the back to eat steamed buns first." Xiao Ding's mother said to Xiao Ding.
"Yes, mother."
After Xiao Ding left, Xiao Ding's mother said to Guo Lingfei: "Childe, thank you." It's just that Xiuniang knows her body, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive it, so I beg you to accept Xiaoding as a small servant. Please. ”
"Don't say that again. Do you still have to take care of Ding? I'll get you a doctor. ”
"Childe, please."
"Okay, but you have to take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Childe, Xiu Niang will."
Walking out of the thatched house, Guo Lingfei felt that his chest was stuffy, and exhaled.
After a long time, Guo Lingfei said to the servants beside him, "Go and invite the doctor." ”
"Yes, Childe."
"You're really different." Nie Feng said softly, very light, like a feather floating from the air to the ground.
After being busy for several days, Guo Lingfei finally handled all the urgent matters.
So, Guo Lingfei took Nie Feng and a group of people to supervise the water diversion project.
Guo Lingfei came to the soldiers' tent, she stopped the soldiers outside the door from reporting, walked in quietly, and watched General Gao command the soldiers against the map. Guo Lingfei didn't bother them.
Because they were in a hurry to draw water, the soldiers all wore their upper bodies, pulled up their trousers, and could see pieces of mud on their bodies, and the pair of straw sandals under their feet were also tattered, and the mud could be seen in the nails of the exposed toes.
"Childe, there is a long way to go." As soon as General Gao looked up, he saw Guo Lingfei and hurriedly stepped forward.
It seems that this General Gao has seen Guo Lingfei before.
"General, don't be polite. I don't know how the general arranged this water diversion project. ”
Because Kunwudi belongs to the Yellow River basin and is relatively close to the Huai River, the last general plans to open the dikes in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River to allow the water of the Yellow River to pour into Kunwu. Then in the Huai River diversion canal, the water of the Huai River is also diverted. ”
"Very good! Very good! General, you really have a heart of seven tricks and a meticulous mind. ”
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"How far has the project been going?"
"If you go back to Gongzi, you will already have inspected the terrain at the end of the other day. At present, the general plans to divide the men into two teams, the first team to open the mouth of the embankment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the second team to build the aqueduct. ”
"Well, then I will follow the first couple to the Yellow River to open the embankment."
"Absolutely not, how dare you bother your son with such rough work."
"The soldiers are hard, how dare my son be comfortable, he should share the weal and woe with the soldiers. Moreover, this is easier than building a canal. ”
General Gao did not say anything to dissuade him, his expression was full of emotion.
Considering that Nie Feng was a woman and looked relatively delicate, Guo Lingfei asked Nie Feng to go back to the house and wait for him, and then set off with the others.
The distance from the Yellow River embankment is actually not far away, and it takes about a day to ride a horse. Guo Lingfei had learned equestrianism in his previous life and had won medals, but this body seemed to have never ridden a horse, so Guo Lingfei felt that his buttocks were very painful when he rode a horse.
It can be built during the dry season, but it is indeed very difficult to open the embankment, because explosives were not invented until the Tang Dynasty, so it is necessary to rely on manpower to open the embankment.
Guo Lingfei asked the generals who led the team, only to learn that they had brought some prisoners who had been sentenced to death, and when the soldiers beat the embankment to a certain extent, the death row prisoners were responsible for beating the embankment. In this case, these death row inmates are likely to be drowned. But death row inmates also have certain benefits, that is, if they survive, they are free, and if they die, the government will help to pay their families a stipend.
Guo Lingfei watched the soldiers knocking on the embankment below, and also wanted to go down to help.
At the beginning, the general who led the team didn't let Guo Lingfei go down, and asked Guo Lingfei to say, just knock down and come up after a while. The general who led the team relented.
Because Guo Lingfei is a girl after all, she didn't **** her upper body like the man next to her. But she also worked very hard.
Guo Lingfei kept knocking and knocking, but in fact, the foundation of the embankment is not particularly stable.
"Childe, I Cao quickly retreat, this levee may be about to fall, let these death row prisoners knock it." A soldier next to him said to Guo Lingfei.
"Hmm." Guo Lingfei prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Guo Lingfei found that his jade pendant had fallen off, and he wanted to pick it up when he turned around.
"Oh no, no! Childe, retreat! The general who led the team shouted loudly.
Guo Lingfei looked back and saw the clear water rushing along the cracks in the embankment little by little, and then slowly converged, forming tall horses, roaring and rushing towards everyone.
Guo Lingfei was horrified in his heart, could it be that he died like this?
The moment the water touched her skin, Guo Lingfei suddenly remembered that he could swim.
Guo Lingfei tried to move his hands and feet. She doesn't want to die, she doesn't want to die, she has a very strong desire to live when she is reborn, she cherishes the opportunity to live very much, she doesn't want to die.
The scene is already in chaos, the rushing water is swallowing up one person after another, and those who want to live are fighting with nature with human strength.
