Chapter 174: Dead Land

When I arrived at Wanjia Village, it was already the end of the child's time.

It was dark, and when it was supposed to be silent, it was particularly lively because of the rushing, as if it was a never-ending mudslide.

Putting on a thick cloak and a hat, Xia Hanqiu helped Duan Ziyi's men get out of the carriage.

A few umbrellas protected her, and she didn't get wet even a little.

After standing firmly, Duan Ziyi let the others disperse, he hugged people with one hand, held an umbrella in the other, looked around, and found that there were obviously fewer people left here, and Jiang Tao was not there.

Peng will be busy stepping forward to explain the matter.

"Is there any news from the past?"

"Yes." Peng Jiang handed over a few oil paper packets, Duan Zi changed hands, and Xia Hanqiu took it.

When I opened it, my face changed suddenly, and I opened all three of them with a quick movement, and my hands holding the oil paper were trembling slightly.

Duan Ziyi also saw it clearly, hugged the person tightly, and asked, "When was a message sent by zuihou?" ”

"Probably at the end of the day."

Xia Hanqiu looked at Chang Zhi, "What should I do?" I couldn't go in, and the people inside couldn't get out, and if the mountain collapsed on a massive scale, they wouldn't even have a place to hide, and they would really die without a single person left. ”

"Don't worry, General Peng, is there anyone guarding over there?"

"It's always been there before, but before we threw a lot of things into it, there was no response, and my subordinates plan to go over to see the situation as soon as it's dawn."

"I can't wait until tomorrow morning." Duan Ziyi shook his head and looked at Xia Jing, "Lirong." You cooperate with me, I'll send you over to see the situation, no matter how bad it is, you must come back and talk about it first, in addition, bring Jiabao out, the current situation is no longer suitable for him to stay there. ”

Xia Jing nodded, removed the rain gear, moved his hands and feet, and walked a few steps towards the place where the mud and rocks were rushing.

"Qiu'er. You stand back a bit. Hold Qiu'er's hand and put the umbrella in her hand and hold it. If he could, Duan Ziyi wanted Qiu'er to go back to the carriage and wait, but he knew that Qiu'er would definitely not be willing.

Xia Hanqiu nodded. "Be careful. Brother-in-law. You also have to be careful. ”

Xia Jing turned around and nodded at her with a smile, "Don't worry, I can't do fine work." This kind of rough work is used to it, and the second senior brother is not as skilled as me, so there is no reason why I can't. ”

With his previous experience, after only three attempts, Duan Ziyi sent the person over, and after a while, his body was soaked again.

"Fortunately, Mingde brought me five sets of clothes, otherwise this would not be enough."

Xia Hanqiu smiled reluctantly, and walked up in the direction of the mudslide for a while, Duan Ziyi was not at ease and followed closely.

"In other words, do you think it's possible to build a bridge over it?"

Looking in the direction Qiu'er pointed, Duan Ziyi understood her plan, "To see if the geographical location is favorable, I should have told Lirong just now, just let your second senior brother come out first, he is the best at these miscellaneous things." ”

Having said that, Duan Ziyi immediately called General Peng over and asked him to go over to see the situation.

Peng Jiang came back soon, "Lord Wang, it is impossible to succeed in building a bridge in this place above, without that condition, that is, there are people on both sides to support it, and it is difficult for the people to come, it is too dangerous, the more the sediment is down, the greater the impact, and the wider the range, unless you go up and go to the source." ”

"No, the mountain is too dangerous, and if they are unlucky, there is another mudslide or a mountain collapse, and they will not survive." Xia Hanqiu didn't want to veto this method without thinking about it, but her mind was active, "Peng Jiang, are there any residents around here?" ”

"No, the farmland outside the village is quite large, but this disaster after disaster has made the fields almost like wasteland."

"Then you can go up and see if you can make a ditch somewhere and divert this mudslide to another place."

Peng Jiang's eyes lit up, "This is a good way, and my subordinates will go." ”

Without waiting for Duan Ziyi to give another order, Peng Jiang disappeared in front of the two of them in a few flashes.

"I should have thought of it earlier."

Duan Ziyi thought about the feasibility of this method in his heart, and said: "You haven't seen it with your own eyes before, how can you think so far, it seems that you came to Wanjia Village on the right side, no wonder you have to take this trip." ”

If this method is feasible, then her arrival will really make Wanjia Village die and turn into a place of life, Xia Hanqiu finally has a little more confidence in her heart, and feels that the identity of the prophet is not so annoying.

"Change!"

Duan Ziyi's ears moved, and he motioned for Ziye Zishuang to step forward and help Qiu'er to retreat, he jumped high, and saw that it was indeed Xia Jing calling him over there, and the people standing beside him were Chen Chen, Zhang Jiabao and Jiang Tao.

"I'll answer here, and I'll find a way to send Jiabao over first."

With previous experience, several people cooperated tacitly, over there Xia Jing hugged Zhang Jiabao and Chen Chen and jumped high at the same time, Xia Jing borrowed strength from Chen Chen to the air, Duan Ziyi sent a wooden board to his feet in time, Xia Hanqiu covered his mouth and didn't dare to breathe, until the two of them landed safely and sank violently.

"Sister......" Zhang Jiabao slowly rubbed over, happy and sad.

I'm glad that my sister came to him in person, and I can be sad that he let my sister worry so much, and I have to be beaten by the wind and rain here in the middle of the night.

"It's okay." Xia Hanqiu touched his wet clothes, and his cold hands frowned in distress, "Why don't you change into dry clothes?" There are hundreds of people over there, and you can't find one you can wear? ”

"Sister, the clothes are just wet, Brother Chen made me a rain gear, it is very useful, the clothes are not wet, the rain gear was too bulky when I came over just now, so I had to leave it for others to use."

"There's clothes in the carriage, go and change quickly, and if you're tired, rest in the carriage."

Zhang Jiabao hesitated for a moment, and then said when he saw that Brother Chen had also come over and said, "Sister, is there no way to rescue the people inside?" More than 80 people have died from yesterday to today, and there are only more than 400 people in Wanjia Village, so this is ......."

"My sister is trying to figure out a way, and she has already asked people to explore the way, you go and change your clothes first and then talk."

"Hey, okay." Hearing his sister say this, Zhang Jiabao suddenly became confident, turned around and got into the carriage, his sister never lied.

Chen Chen heard the conversation between the two, and walked over and asked while wiping his face, "Is there really a way?" ”

Xia Hanqiu hurriedly sent the umbrella forward, "I don't know if it's feasible, let Peng Jiang go to explore the way, if the location is good, maybe you can lead this mud and sand to other places." ”

Chen Chen hid from the rain and was at ease, and he didn't pay attention to Duan Ziyi's eyes, looked at the mud and sand in front of him and said: "It's already slower than during the day, and if we don't think of any other way tomorrow morning, we should be able to send people out." ”

"There's no time, this rain doesn't stop, the mud and sand can't stop completely, if I can wait, I won't come back at this hour."

Chen Chen's pupils constricted, and he slowly turned his head to look at her, "What did you see?" ”

Xia Hanqiu's finger joints holding the handle of the umbrella turned white because of the force, and his voice was so dry that it seemed to be squeezed out, "The mountains in Wanjia Village have collapsed on three sides...... None of them are alive. ”

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment before he walked out of the umbrella, and was pulled by Xia Hanqiu, who was quick-eyed, "Second Senior Brother, where are you going?" ”

"I told our people to come out quickly, and I can't put all the people who don't do anything on the way."

The life and death of hundreds of people in Wanjia Village don't care first, but they want to protect their own people first, how selfish they are, but such a second senior brother makes Xia Hanqiu feel close, once something happens, he naturally focuses on his own people first, and there are a few people who can understand the righteousness and take care of the public first, she asked herself if she had such sentiments, and now she can see that the second senior brother is the same.

"Second Senior Brother, wait a minute." After thinking about it for a while, Xia Hanqiu said: "Let everyone in Wanjia Village leave the house and bring all the farm tools to the edge of the mudslide, this place is the safest now." ”

Chen Chen nodded, "Okay, I know." ”

As soon as he was about to leave, he saw Peng Jiang rushing down from above, with joy on his face, "Miss Xia, my subordinates have seen it, the method you said should be feasible, and it should not be difficult to do, you see, this is the soil on the mountain that I brought down, and this kind of soil is the easiest to ......."

Before the words were finished, the lump of soil in his hand changed hands, Chen Chen kneaded the soil a few times, and looked at it carefully, Zuihou ran in the direction of the mountains and forests without saying anything.

"Miss Xia, Mr. Chen, this is ......"

Xia Hanqiu's face was almost transparent, it was easy to make a ditch in such soil, but ...... But it's more likely to collapse.

Duan Ziyi was not far away, as soon as Chen Chen left, he made up for his place, and it was not good to help Qiu'er when he was wet, at this time, it was useless to say any comforting words, so he simply didn't say anything, and called someone over and ordered: "Borrow Fu Rui's order to find Anping County Order to borrow someone, there are not enough people in the yamen, call more people to come, no matter what method you use, I just want the result." ”

The man's words, 'Is this time inappropriate?' came to his lips, and Zuihou gritted his teeth and swallowed back, and galloped on his horse and left as fast as he could.

Now he is only glad that Wanjia Village is not too far from Anping County, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the closest village to Anping County.

At this time, Chen Chen also came back, his clothes and hair were stained with mud, "Little junior sister, I'm afraid your prediction is going to be accurate, this kind of soil can't be seen to be good on weekdays, but now, washed away by the rain for so long, it is already very loose, no wonder the mud and sand in several places in the village have stopped, and a few places have not stopped, just like the endless supply of mud and sand in the mountains, so it is, so it is so ......"

After a pause, Chen Chen wiped off the mud on his hands and walked towards Xia Jing, "Fourth Senior Brother, you give me a ride." ”

Xia Jing, who had also listened to all the conversations, didn't say a word of nonsense, "Come on." ”

Xia Hanqiu didn't explain half a sentence anymore, she did everything she could, and she thought of a way, but now, she can only grab time. (To be continued......)
