Chapter Seventy-One: Saving People
The heavy rain is thin, I don't know when it can stop, the entire Minjiang River is surging, and the water of the Quanhe River is also surging, Yang Yunqiu looked at the top of the car, after the doll scanned, swept out thirteen, under the current water potential, there are inevitably broken sections, and there are more than 20 sections that may burst, and the entire embankment is seriously cutting corners.
The doll was amazed: "Who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing!" ”
In fact, it is not surprising, Tianshui Town is too small, the embankment here must be few people pay attention to, the imperial court has built over the years, and it is also the location of the more important state and county, as for Tianshui Town, the Minjiang River has always been gentle, and there were heavy rains in previous years, but it is the flood season, the rivers here are just as docile, Tianshui Town relies on it for draft, and has not encountered danger for decades, even the local people have never thought that they rely on the rivers for their livelihood, and one day they will kill them.
"Young Master, is there a way to save it?"
Zhou Dali is also from a poor family, and he has no ruthlessness to see death and not save him, but the premise is that he must not hurt his own master, "If it doesn't work, let's leave quickly while it's okay?" ”
Anyway, the master's mount can fly and run, and it doesn't matter if there is no bridge.
Yang Yunqiu smiled: "The river embankment will not be saved, and people still have to be saved." ”
In fact, he spent his spiritual power to build a section of stone embankment, with his current cultivation, this is not a difficult thing, but it is only a section, and it is absolutely impossible to want the entire Minjiang River to be safe and sound.
Unless it is a master who has reached the realm of immortality and long-term vision, he has the power to change the heavens and the earth.
He is now in Tianshui Town, and other states and counties upstream and downstream will burst their levees faster, and he can't ignore the lives and deaths of others for the sake of this town.
"This is the power of nature, and the gods can't control it."
Yang Yunqiu climbed into the car, looked at the folding console in the back seat, thought about it, and said, "Let's go back to Tianshui Town, I will contact Wang Yi and ask him to go back to the earth first, this time I am afraid that I will need support from there." ”
He wants a life jacket the most now, but if he synthesizes materials and makes them by himself, it will consume too much spiritual power, and there is no way to make everyone in Water Town wear life jackets all day in the fastest time.
Letting the earth deliver supplies for him, although there will be sequelae such as changes in the flow of time, it will not affect too much, it is better than looking at the large amount of merit in front of him and not being able to do anything.
Back in Tianshui Town, Li Shanshan was still desperately persuading the local townspeople to go to the highlands with her, but most people didn't believe it at all, or the county ordered that they had suffered this disaster, and more or less felt that Situ Jun was not playing tricks, so he opened his mouth, and the county respected it, and finally some residents were suspicious, packed up their belongings and wanted to go to the highlands to hide temporarily.
But there are still a bunch of stubborn old men and old ladies who don't listen to anything, according to them, Tianshui Town has not had an accident for decades, although this year's rain is abnormal, it is even worse than the summer flood season, it is not without it before, they are not afraid at all.
Li Shanshan didn't have anything to do, and when she saw Yang Yunqiu, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Yang Yunqiu couldn't cry or laugh: "I said Miss Li Shanshan, you did everything you could with your heart, but others didn't listen, and you were worthy of yourself, where was the need to cry?" ”
"Take away all those who are willing to go, you collect more food and warm clothes, these people are unwilling and can't do anything, there must always be a priority...... There are only two hours of time, two hours later, everyone has to go to the east of the restaurant near the gathering, only the east side of the three-storey restaurant, and it is still built of stone, relatively strong, the following earthen embryo house and wooden house is really unreliable. ”
Zhou Dali was very obedient, honestly according to his young master to buy supplies, buy as much as possible, and also persuaded those people who are now willing to take refuge to bring more useful things, such as gold, silver jewelry, antique jewelry, but unfortunately there are very few people who are willing, and those people will always carry the most valuable things at home.
Yang Yunqiu also saw a family of more than a dozen, with large boxes and small boxes, and a large number of antique jade.
Situ Jun and the gang of Tianquanlou are actually the ones who believe that there will be floods in Tianshui Town, Jin Xiucai doesn't look at the age of the boss, grabs Situ Jun's collar, and shakes desperately, forcing him to tell where the two boats are hidden.
"Do you really think I'm just hiding the boat?"
Situ Jun sneered, "I want all of you to give our Situ family a funeral, what's the use of asking for a boat?" ”
Jin Xiucai was so angry that he almost fainted.
The county commander sent more than a dozen officials under his command to search around, but found nothing, and wanted the water-based haode officials to sit on a raft and go upriver to the nearby prefecture and county for help.
Tianshui Town is a small town, and the county government has not many people, so heavy rain, the water is turbulent, and as a result, a few water-based haode tried, but they can't get out at all.
Zhou Dali collected a lot of food and put it in the car, and with people who were willing to believe in them, he tried to get a lot of planks and make a raft, but now most of the people don't believe it, even those who are half-convinced, and they are not willing to demolish the house to make this kind of raft.
Yang Yunqiu ignored such chores, he rented an upstairs room and made his own preparations.
Time passed a moment, Li Shanshan replaced Yang Yunqiu, commanding Zhou Dali and them to race against time, anyway, what they could do and what they should do, they had done their best.
In the afternoon, Yang Yunqiu went from the house to eat in a first-class suite on the third floor of Tianxiang Building, at this time there was no one outside the entire Tianxiang Building, even the shopkeeper went up to the third floor and entered his permanent guest room, and the guests went home to go home, and those who squeezed to the top floor for refuge were also squeezed up.
Now that the house is full of acquaintances, he did not shy away from it, and took out a lot of life jackets, lifebuoys, and a bunch of rafts and lifeboats at random.
The people in the county order and Tianshui Town were all surprised, but they were preoccupied, and they probably felt that Yang Yunqiu was a person who often went out, and the things he carried with him were strange, but they seemed very useful.
"I'm here to show you, everyone put on their life jackets." Yang Yunqiu sent everything down and taught them how to wear life jackets and how to use lifeboats one by one.
"And these backpacks." Pointing to the backpack thrown on the ground, Yang Yunqiu said: "After all, it's a flood, I don't know what kind of situation will happen, maybe we will get separated if we are not careful, even if there is food in the car, we can't eat it, this kind of backpack can be waterproof, you all carry it on your back, there are two large plates of chocolate in it, a bottle of water, and a medicine bag, each medicine is pasted with usage, and there is a flashlight...... Well, it's just a kind of lighting lamp, I'm afraid it's too heavy, it will affect your reaction speed, there are not many things, but it can save lives at critical moments. ”
Yang Yunqiu also opened the backpack and showed the contents inside, mainly to tell Zhou Dali's group of subordinates in this era how to use it.
There are also county orders and the residents of Tianshui Town who were tricked by Situ Jun, and they are also lucky to have the same treatment as Zhou Dali, these people have some trust in Yang Yunqiu and are willing to listen to him.
After everything was dealt with, this group of people shouted to leave, when there was a raft before, they wanted to go, but it was too stormy outside, and there was a little hesitation, and now there are such lifeboats, life jackets, where is the reason not to go?
At least the county magistrate didn't even discuss it, so he took a lifeboat and wanted to leave with a group of men who could protect him, and everyone else had to leave.
Li Shanshan frowned: "It's okay if others go, county honor, you are the county magistrate, and you are the food and clothing parents of the people of Tianshui Town, now in this situation, as soon as you leave, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
The county magistrate was obviously a little embarrassed, but he kept a straight face: "I have reminded them that I should have reminded them, but my official position is low, and there are only a dozen people in the entire yamen, and those ordinary people refuse to listen to me, what can I do?" Do you want to stay and die? ”
As for Jin Xiucai's group, they have long been desperately tying their belongings to their bodies, for fear of leaving something behind, where can they control others?
Yang Yunqiu grabbed Li Shanshan and said with a smile: "Let them go, although the water is turbulent now, it is a little dangerous to walk like this, but it is better than staying and waiting for the flooding." ”
After speaking, he sat down, slowly ate a few bites of the rice made by Li Shanshan, and ignored these no more.
Unexpectedly, Situ Jun, who was already almost tied up, actually broke free from the shackles all of a sudden, kicked on the door, leaned on the door and sneered: "I can't control others leaving, you group of people, if you dare to leave a step, don't blame me for dying with you." ”
The county commander was suddenly furious: "Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?" What are you waiting for, why don't you take him down quickly? ”
More than a dozen servants under him rushed up, but he didn't expect to see any movement from Situ Jun, and a group of people fell to the ground, Yang Yunqiu glanced at it, and saw that this person was quite cautious, and he didn't see a single one who was seriously injured with a broken bone, but his flesh hurt, so he didn't pay attention to it.
A group of people looked at each other and wanted to escape through the window, but as soon as Brother Xiao Wang moved, Situ Jun pierced his toes with a chopstick, and his ten fingers were connected to his heart, and he screamed in pain, and everyone was startled.
And this is the third floor, it's not so easy to think about going down.
"You, what the hell do you want?"
Situ Jun shrugged: "I don't want to do anything, it's just that I'm very unhappy and want to play with you." ”
Yang Yunqiu smiled, ignored the dispute, seriously stuffed food into his mouth, and said vigorously to Zhou: "Wait a minute, we have to see the situation of the embankment, if we can find something to strengthen in advance, maybe we can buy time." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Situ Jun: "Situ Dart Tou won't let him leave, right?" ”
Situ Jun's face was expressionless: "It seems that I just want to block the way of my son, and it's not so easy." ”
It's just that Yang Yunqiu didn't make it, and before he put down his rice bowl, he heard a loud bang, and then a few earth-shattering sounds, Zhou Dali rubbed it to the window, and the sun had already set at this time, but then the moonlight, he could still see the overwhelming flood rolling in, and in an instant, the water flooded half of the building.
The people upstairs, except for Situ Jun, were dumbfounded, Jin Xiucai sat on the ground, his face was blue and white, crying with a handful of snot and tears: "It's over, everything is over, my old bones, when I get old, I will be drowned." ”
Boss Zhao and his daughter-in-law also snuggled together, shivering.
They are still haode, Zhou Dali heard screams everywhere not far away, and outside the window there were ordinary people, men, women and children who had accidentally fallen and struggled in the flood.
Yang Yunqiu sighed, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and turned his head to explain to Li Shanshan: "Our car can float on the water, you get in the car first." Erya, you take care of Miss Watch. ”
Seeing that Li Shanshan nodded seriously, he grabbed a raft and threw it on the water, threw several more, and jumped down with Zhou Dali, landing right on the raft. Zhou Dali also helped to tie all the rafts together.
"Don't be too close, it's more flexible to be farther away, after all, it's not a river, it's a street."
Zhou Dali nodded heavily.
Yang Yunqiu saw that the preparations were almost done, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
Just standing on top of the hair, the aura was running, and it went upstream, and when they came down, the water only covered half the floor, but in the blink of an eye, the water covered an entire floor.
"Help, help!"
Everywhere there were cries for help.
Yang Yunqiu walked all the way, first rescued the old and weak who fell into the water, and when he saw the water-based haode young man, he picked up a lifebuoy and threw it over, he used a palm-sized small airbag to beat the air, but the speed was extremely fast, and it was just a blink of an eye, the people in the lower plane may think that it is a treasure, and they will not think too much, if they let the people on the earth see it, they have to ask where to sell this kind of convenient airbag.
Zhou Dali obeyed the instructions of his young master, took the loudspeaker, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, everyone, don't panic, water-based haode find a way to find some high ground, climb the building, climb the tree, bring more rations, don't take those bits and pieces of heavy items." ”
He shouted all the way, and many people really settled down.
The flood swept in, and the residents of the town were frightened, and they were dizzy and dizzy when they let the water rush, and they forgot how to deal with it, but now someone has stood up and commanded, and the situation is better.
Yang Yunqiu went back and forth three times, the raft was full, and they were all sent to the top floor of Tianxiang Building, Tianxiang Building is the largest restaurant in the whole Tianshui Town, the foundation is firm, and it is a stone house, the most sturdy, but also relatively safe, the third floor has a roof, there is a very wide area, just the kind of suite that can live more than a dozen people, there are more than ten sets, it is the most suitable place to take refuge.
The flood soon flooded the entire town of Tianshui.
Li Da hugged a big wooden barrel on the water surface, and his mother sat on the barrel, so he just left, looking at his mother's pale and frightened face, Li Da wanted to kill himself.
During the day, the county sent people everywhere to say that Tianshui Town was about to face floods, and he was still skeptical, and even thought about packing up his things, locking the door of his house tomorrow, and taking his mother to take refuge, but he didn't expect to delay for such a while, and he let his mother fall into a catastrophe.
"Son, come up, come up and rest, don't worry about your mother."
The barrel is not big, it is used for laundry, his mother sits on it alone, it is very reluctant, even if Li Da is so tired that his hands and feet are stiff, he can hardly hold on, and he will never go up, he opened his mouth, ate a mouthful of mud and sand, and the gurgling sank, and the old lady was frightened and cried: "Son, you come up, come quickly!" ”
"Mother, you biedong." Li Da gritted his teeth, trying to grasp the barrel tighter, a wave hit him in the face, and immediately swept him into the water, Li Da was stunned, and he heard the heart-rending cry of his mother, and vaguely saw his sixty-year-old mother pounce into the water.
Li Da is heartbroken!
As soon as his eyes were dark, through the sound of the rolling waves, he heard a cheer not far away.
With a plop, a circle was thrown in front of him, floating on the water, he instinctively fished it, the whole body was pasted, and his head could finally show the water, and then he saw a bright light not far away, and he got closer and closer, and when he got closer to his eyes, it turned out to be a strange-looking boat, and there was a young man with a good posture standing on the boat.
The boy bent down and stretched out his hand and pulled his mother up.
Li Da was overjoyed and cried: "Mother, mother." ”
The boy looked around, the boat approached, and a few arms stretched out from the boat, and pulled him up with all hands and feet, and Li Da hugged his mother and cried loudly.
"Hey, hey, save me first, help!"
There were constant shouts in his ears, and Li Da followed the sound to look over, and saw the old man Chen in the coffin shop sitting on the branch of a big tree on the shore and beckoning, which was already close to the water.
Hearing his voice, the boat approached.
He stretched out his hand to pull Old Man Chen, but unexpectedly, as soon as the old man leaned over here, the strange boat sank down, and he was so frightened that he let go, Old Man Chen slipped out, his face turned pale, and he scolded bitterly: "Li Da, you can't kill Lao Tzu!" ”
Yang Yunqiu shook his head, he had encountered this kind of thing several times, this time he didn't need to speak, there was a pungent little girl on the lifeboat who shouted: "Old man Chen, if you don't, just stay on the tree and wait for the water to recede, otherwise, you will throw away the heavy objects wrapped around your body, our boat is so big, where can we have the strength to carry your things?" ”
Old man Chen blew his beard and glared: "Thrown away?" Throw away these things of mine, then I might as well die, the old man's savings for half of his life are here, these things are gone, even if he escapes the flood, how will he live in the future? ”
In a word, there was silence both on and off the ship.
Li Da also wiped away his tears, their family was all lost, the broken family is worth ten thousand, and without a home, how can he support his mother for the rest of his life?
Yang Yunqiu frowned, and simply threw a lifebuoy to Old Man Chen: "You put your things on it, tie it with a rope and lead it, it's your life if you lose it." ”
There's really no other way but that.
As he was talking, a wave came, and the old man Chen disappeared as soon as he turned over into the water, Yang Yunqiu didn't think about it, threw out a lifebuoy, stepped on the circle and slid around, and grabbed the old man's arm as soon as he bent over, but the weight on his body was not light, even Yang Yunqiu couldn't carry it, and the whole lifebuoy was also sunk by Xiangxia.
Everyone gasped and fell silent.
