Chapter 176: Rush for Time
The night was a long one.
In Duan Ziyi's opinion, Xia Hanqiu woke up and fell asleep several times, only Xia Hanqiu herself knew that she was pitiful when she really fell asleep.
With so many things in her heart, and now that she is in a stormy time, it would be good if she could sleep peacefully, at least it shows that she has adapted to this identity and no longer worries about her heart all the time.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost dawn."
Hearing that it was almost dawn, Xia Hanqiu felt that he should be happy, wouldn't it be more convenient to do anything during the day? But on the contrary, she became more and more uneasy.
Pulling his chest, Xia Hanqiu muttered to himself, "No, I can't wait for dawn, I'm afraid it's too late when it's dawn." ”
Duan Ziyi knew that she was feeling strange now, so she didn't ask anything anymore, lifted the curtain and ordered: "Go and tell Chen Chen, it must be done before dawn." ”
"Yes."
Seeing Zishuang's agile departure, Xia Hanqiu knew that he was left with himself and the other in this piece, and he inexplicably felt a sense of dependence in his heart.
Closer to the change, if she didn't remember to ask for a face, she almost wanted to stick herself on the whole thing.
Fortunately, what she can't do is done by herself, and Duan Ziyi is extremely skilled in hugging her.
"Qiu'er, don't be afraid, it will definitely be done."
Xia Hanqiu rubbed his shoulder, squeezed himself into the crook of his arm again, and didn't move until he felt safe.
The night was almost dark, because it couldn't light the torch when it rained, Chen Chen and the others knew martial arts, and their eyesight was naturally better, and they could see farther away. But all ordinary people can see is a place two steps away from them, which also forces them to only work hard, not even chat.
Chen Chen jumped down from above covered in mud, and said loudly: "Everyone is faster, it will be done soon, if you can get through it in half an hour, everyone who comes to help can get half a bag of rice." ”
What is the most scarce at this time? For the people, it is naturally grain, and the harvest has been poor year after year, and they have tightened their belts to satisfy their hunger with wild vegetables, and half a bag of rice is not much. You can save some food. I can eat for a few days.
The people who helped suddenly became energetic and worked harder, and even the people in the government were moved, and some people asked. "Do we have one too?"
If only in normal times. Don't even think about it. Chen Chen sneered in his heart, but this time, he had to respond. When the time comes, let Fu Rui answer, "Yes." ”
Seeing that the people who were still weak just now were all energetic, Chen Chen turned around and ran up, and in the end, he still had to rely on his own people.
Xia Jing raised his hand to wipe his face, wiped off all the water around his eyes, and said to the person who came up: "Second senior brother, there seems to be too much mud and sand washed down." ”
Chen Chen walked over and took a closer look, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, how long has this mud and sand been there, it stands to reason that it should have been exhausted a long time ago, but this will be even more vigorous.
"All speed up, I'm afraid the mountain will loosen even more."
As he spoke, he took a hoe himself to help.
The grain liliang was huge, and within a quarter of an hour, someone was heard shouting, "The mouth is open." ”
Chen Chen took a look, the ditch below was already very similar, the middle section was made by his own people, the foundation was deeper, and there should be no problem with diversion.
"Everyone below leaves, go farther, Jiang Tao, you go and watch."
Xia Jing looked at the top of the only place left untouched, as long as he dug up this place, the sediment could go from here.
It's just that, "Second Senior Brother, I'm afraid the moment the mud and sand rush this way will be terrifying, and our people don't need to stay so much, but it will get in the way." ”
Chen Chen nodded, "Dig a little higher, and it's enough to leave me and you." ”
Peng Jiang and Cheng Jun spoke at the same time, "We will also stay." ”
Knowing the skills of the two, Chen Chen did not refuse, and looked at Jiang Tao who returned, "Are you far away?" ”
"Yes, retreat down the mountain."
"Then let's do it."
The soft soil is easy to dig, and it didn't take long to hear Chen Chen say: "Everyone else is leaving, pay attention to those who stay, and pay attention to protecting yourself when the mud and sand rush over." ”
"Yes."
There was only one step left, and Chen Chen washed away the dirt on his hands with the rain, "Do it." ”
"Boom!"
Rao is few people retreated quickly, and Cheng Jun, who was standing in the middle, still received the most direct impact, if Chen Chen hadn't pulled him, it was estimated that he would have flowed down the mud and sand.
"It's okay."
Spit out the blood in his mouth, Cheng Jun shook his head, "Small injury, it's okay." ”
After receiving this impact, how could it be a slight injury, Chen Chen would not expose him, as long as he went back, whether it was Ge Mu or the third junior brother, he would be fine.
Looking at the mudslide that was divided into two and the power was obviously much smaller, Chen Chen was also relieved, if he was busy for so long and was still busy in vain, he would feel that he had suffered a big loss.
"Just leave two people here to guard, and everyone else go down."
Xia Hanqiu had already stepped out of the carriage.
Ignoring all the glances that came over, he took a few steps forward with an umbrella.
Seeing that the sediment blocking the exit of Wanjia Village slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the amount was mostly reduced, Xia Hanqiu knew that it was done.
"Why is there still a woman here? In the middle of the night, I'm not afraid of ......."
"Shhhh
The discussion was quiet, they were afraid of the nobles, but they were even more afraid that the half of the bag of rice that should have been ordered before would be gone.
Chen Chen and Xia Jing came down at a very fast speed, and Jiang Tao and Peng Jun followed closely with Cheng Jun.
Xia Hanqiu took a few steps forward, "Injured?" ”
"Minor injuries." Cheng Jun hurriedly pushed the two of them to stand up straight, to prove that he was really not a big deal, just now it was just that Jiang Tao and Peng Jiang didn't want to be lucky and brought themselves down.
Duan Ziyi knew a thing or two when he saw his complexion, "Mingde put a lot of medicine in the carriage, you ask Ziye Zishuang to help you find it, go and stay in the carriage behind, don't come out." ”
"Yes."
"Little junior sister, we can only go so far, it's impossible to let the sediment go over there completely."
"I know." The inertia is so easy to change, the group approached the larger and larger mud and sand piles, Xia Hanqiu pushed the umbrella to a high place, and looked up at the high place, "Build a bridge on it, can you build it now?" ”
Chen Chen shook his head, "You can't build a bridge, but you can let some people go over and throw people over there, and there will be no problem if someone picks them up here, now that the sediment is smaller, our people should be able to stand in the place where they washed out before." ”
After calculating the time, he couldn't think of any other way, Xia Hanqiu nodded, "Just do it, be fast." ”
It is also easy to assign manpower, and those who are inactive go over there, and Duan Ziyi's people are here to respond.
First, let people go to the top to find a suitable place, and then made some emergency preparations, and the two parties converged above.
Xia Hanqiu knew that he was a lagging behind at this time, so he simply retreated back and looked around.
The location of Wanjia Village is like a gourd, and the place at the entrance of the village is the gourd mouth, once this place is blocked, the people inside will not want to come out.
The sediment rushed down, but the bottom was not open, but was blocked by the mountain, and the mud and sand with nowhere to go piled up this piece into a huge pile of sediment, the scope became larger and larger, and the sediment piled higher and higher, completely blocking the exit.
The people of Wanjia Village escaped this catastrophe by luck, and they are afraid that they will have to change places to take root in the future, and they should not dare to live in this mountain col if there is no one to live in it.
"Sister!"
Xia Hanqiu looked back at the person who walked over with an umbrella, "Why did you come out?" Still have a fever? ”
Zhang Jiabao was glad that it was still dark now, and his sister couldn't see his red face, and she didn't dare to approach, "There's still a little bit, okay sister, I'll just come out and take a look and go back to the carriage." ”
Xia Hanqiu knew what he wanted to see, and raised his hand to point in a direction, "Everyone is there, and if you want to come out, you can only throw it." ”
Zhang Jiabao remembered the people he had seen in Wanjia Village, including old people who were so old that they had to walk with crutches, and babies who were waiting to be fed, yes, there were also pregnant women who had just given birth to a child for only a few days, and a pregnant woman with a child in her belly......
"This is the only way I can come up with, only people can live to plot other things, and if your life is gone, you don't have to think about anything."
Zhang Jiabao nodded lightly, after these two days, he felt that he had grown up a lot, and he had matured in seeing people and things, and sure enough, his sister had protected them too well before, so they couldn't see the Shijie outside, which was actually considered miserable.
"Go back to the carriage, and you will come out when they come."
Zhang Jiabao didn't dare to be reckless, and honestly went back to the carriage.
The sky shone brightly.
"It's getting dawn."
Duan Ziyi followed her line of sight, "It will take a while, and this one will be enough." ”
On the mountain at this time, Chen Chen was shouting at the top of his voice, "Don't come up with so many people, it will collapse." ”
The old village chief, who was tossed a lot, was supported by his son, and immediately raised his hand when he heard the words, and the people behind him were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
Chen Chen looked at Village Chief Wan, "It's up to you to decide who comes first and who comes last, one step at a time, as soon as possible." ”
Village Chief Wan gave the answer without thinking about it, "Child, the child will go first, this adult, please send the child away first." ”
Chen Chen nodded slightly, "Let the child come up." ”
It's a big hill, and children who have spent too much time in the rain can't climb it.
The old village chief crawled to help them impatiently, and pleaded anxiously: "Adults, the children have no strength, and many of them are feverish, ...... You wait. ”
He waited, but time couldn't wait, Chen Chen glanced at the sky, and ordered a few people to come out, "Step by step, go and send people up." ”
"Yes."
The old village chief wiped away the water on his face, which he didn't know if it was rain or tears, and didn't let his son help him, "You also go, go and help, who still has the strength, go and help." (To be continued......)
