Chapter 064: Torrent

The moon and stars are still sparse overhead, and the sky is clear.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu suddenly came back to his senses: "The flash flood is tonight!" ”

The place covered with dark clouds is in the direction of Qinghe County, and the dangerous places of Yong'an County, such as Niujiao Village, Chenjia Village, and Qinghe Village, which Zhong Lang said, are all there.

Several people hurried downstairs.

Ling Yi immediately decided to bring someone over to check.

Because Xiao Yucheng was familiar with the terrain of Niujiao Village, he asked him to go with him.

"I'll go too!" Xiao Yu immediately said, "I know that the terrain over there is also familiar with water, and because I have practiced medicine in the village, the villagers may be able to listen to what I say." In particular, I've checked the situation on Oxhorn Mountain before, so I should be able to help. I'll just watch from afar, and I won't add to the chaos. ”

Ling Yi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He only went to the vicinity of the disaster area in Qinghe County, but Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Yu went directly to Niujiao Village, so they arranged for Hao Jun to follow.

Xiao Yucheng rode on the war horse that was carefully fed in the army, but when he saw that Xiao Yu didn't go to the car, he also let people lead the horse, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Nonsense!" ”

Xiao Yu knew that the carriage would not be able to pass if he took a shortcut, so his eyes rolled: "If you don't worry, you will take me?" ”

Xiao Yucheng was slightly stunned. Xiao Yu had already come over and stretched out his hand to her, and Xiao Yucheng, who knew her temperament, had to pull her onto the horse behind her: "Sit tight, the rain won't hit you so easily when you hide behind you." ”

"Hmm. All right. Needless to say, Xiao Yu hugged his waist firmly.

Xiao Yucheng's body stiffened slightly, he only felt that his back was warm, and he suddenly had a very strange feeling, when the wind was blowing, he didn't have time to think about it, and shook the reins to drive the horse forward.

Hao Jun was in front, followed by a few more people, and the group galloped away.

Not far out of the city, the raindrops of beans smashed down on their heads and faces, dousing the torches, and the road ahead was pitch black. Occasionally, lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating a white curtain of rain. The group was not afraid and galloped on horseback.

In order to reduce the erosion of the oncoming rain, Xiao Yu grabbed Xiao Yucheng.

Xiao Yucheng slowed down his horse slightly and asked loudly, "Ah Yu, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine, it's important for you to hurry up." Xiao Yu replied in a muffled voice behind him, but he strengthened his determination to make a raincoat, and the coat on his body was really not easy to use.

Xiao Yucheng didn't say anything more, and galloped all the way in the dark night lightning and thundering rain, and finally arrived at Niujiao Village after half an hour. At that moment, the officers and soldiers stationed next to him came up and told them the details of the current situation.

Before the flash flood broke out, it had been raining heavily since not long ago, and many of the villagers who had moved back rushed out of the village when they remembered the prophecy and the government's order.

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the mountains as bright as day.

Xiao Yu looked towards the village, and through the rain curtain, he could vaguely see that there were still people walking this way.

"How many people are there in the village?"

The officer and soldier replied: "Most of them have left, and only a few are unwilling to go." There are also some who turn back and get things, and they can't stop them and just let them come and go. ”

"These people are dying." Xiao Yu frowned, but she was not noble enough to enter the village and pull them out.

Immediately, Xiao Yu heard the scolding of officers and soldiers in front of him, raised his eyes, and immediately laughed angrily. I saw that the daughter-in-law of the Wang Twelve family was grabbing the front hooves of a sow and competing with her, and wanted to drag the pig that refused to go any further.

"The torrent is coming!" Xiao Yu wiped the rain from his face and shouted loudly.

The woman was astonished and let go of the sow and ran as fast as she could.

Xiao Yucheng said: "I still know that I am afraid, and I am also saved." ”

Xiao Yu looked at the people watching on the slope and remembered that day he saw a leak between the stone crevices at the foot of Niujiao Mountain. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to it, and she was shocked when she heard Zhong Langbu calculate the flash flood. If the estimate is correct, the flood water should be discharged from Pitang.

With such a large amount of water in Pitang, this flash flood will indeed be quite terrifying.

"You can't stand here." Xiao Yu looked at the terrain, turned around and left, pointing to the dirt ramp a hundred zhang away, "Immediately move over there." ”

Vice General Lin, who had been guarding here before, and had just stepped forward at this moment, recognized Xiao Yu, and ordered according to his words, and the officers and soldiers helped the old and the young to drag the mud and water to the dirt slope.

The torrential rain shows no signs of stopping.

When he was about to reach the slope, Xiao Yu suddenly heard a strange sound in the sound of the rain and turned around suddenly.

Several bolts of lightning tore through the black clouds, and the countryside was as bright as day. But seeing that a forest slope of Niujiao Mountain seemed to be sliding, before I could see clearly, the mud of the half slope collapsed violently, and the flood several zhang high rushed out in an instant, instantly washing away the Pitang, emptying the turbidity waves, and moving forward, the situation was extremely terrifying.

The roar of the torrent was still clear in the torrential rain and thunder, and before everyone could react, the water had already overflowed the instep. By the light of lightning, they could see that the small dirt slope they had been standing on had also turned into a torrent. The turbid and turbulent river carried all kinds of messy things, swept away all obstacles with a devastating force, and poured thousands of miles to the lower places.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but be shocked by the thrilling scene in front of him, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

The crowd was frightened, and ran several steps to the top of the slope, and when they saw that the flood did not continue to rise, they calmed down a little.

The power of the flash flood is at the moment of its initial outbreak, when the water is the largest and has the power to sweep away thousands of jun. If the flood did not reach the place, it would be safe after that.

Xiao Yucheng took a few steps forward and put his hat on Xiao Yu's head: "You go back first, beware of catching the cold." ”

Xiao Yu's hat was blown away by the strong wind just now, but she was already drenched, and Xiao Yucheng felt cold when she said this.

The people standing on the slope all escaped because of Xiao Yu.

At the beginning, everyone never imagined that this flood would roll up and sweep the entire village like a mountain and a sea, and they were terrified after seeing it.

Now that I heard Xiao Yucheng say this, I echoed it.

At this time, the water gradually calmed down, and the officers and soldiers rowed wooden boats and bamboo rafts to search and rescue the survivors.

Xiao Yucheng urged Xiao Yu again and again, and gestured not far away: "The carriage is coming from the General's Mansion, just wait over there, why don't you go quickly." ”

This carriage looked taller and more gorgeous than the ones he had seen before, and Xiao Yu was a little strange.

Banxia and Gu Yu lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and when they saw him coming over, they immediately said happily: "Second girl, get in the car and change your clothes, be careful of catching a cold!" ”

Bai Lu also poked her head out, smiling.

The interior of the car is brightly lit, spacious and comfortable, and there is a blanket underneath. Xiao Yu walked to the side of the car, couldn't help but bow his head, he was dripping water, is it really good to go up like this?

At this time, Gu Yu leaned half of his body outward and opened the umbrella; Banxia jumped out of the car and helped Xiao Yu take off his wet and heavy clothes and abandon them directly to the ground; Bai Lu opened an extremely wide scarf and skillfully wrapped her, quickly absorbing the clothes on her body half-dry.

Banxia helped Xiao Yu into the carriage.
