Chapter 141: Diverting Water Across the Mountains
Wu County, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is steep, and the mountains are mostly mixed with soft soil, which is not as hard as granite and is very prone to collapse.
This kind of thing, the people of Wu County are also accustomed to it, living here since childhood, landslides do not happen every year, but there will be a natural disaster every many years.
It's just that this year's landslide came too suddenly.
According to Li Changsheng's understanding, every landslide will be accompanied by a rainy period, and it will rain for several months, which will cause the mountain to be slippery and cause the mountain to slide.
But now, with a few months to go before the rainy season, it is unlikely that a landslide will occur.
It's just that there is one thing that happened, so Li Changsheng didn't have time to think about it or think about it so much.
Wu County. It is a very strange place, for so many years, it has always been poor, and the people are barely living, and there are few rich and well-to-do people.
The main reason for this is nothing more than one point, that is, the weather is not beautiful, and the strange weather here makes it difficult for the people to have a good harvest.
in Wu County. There are only two periods, namely the rainy period and the dry period, and when it comes to the rainy period, the heavy rain is continuous for several months, and the crops are easy to be waterlogged; When the drought came, there was not a drop of rain for half a year. Crops are susceptible to drought.
For a long time, either more water was drowned, or less water was drowned, and it was impossible for the people to get a harvest.
Now, during the upright drought period, a river flowing from the east of the county to the county was affected by the collapse of the mountain and cut off at the waist, that is to say, the people of Wu County could not even provide for their usual drinking water, and if they did not stay for more than ten days, everyone would die of thirst.
The problem of drinking water for the people has become a major issue that Li Changsheng needs to solve urgently.
Fortunately, the landslide incident did not cause casualties, but the river was blocked, causing the people in the county to have no water to drink.
Standing at the lower reaches of the river, Li Changsheng stood with his hands in his hands, facing the man-made disasters made by the sky, even if he had strong strength, it was difficult to change the status quo, and said: "An Tusi, now that Wu County has suffered this disaster, it is really sudden, you are a toast, in the opinion of this official, you should go back, right?" ”
"Master Li, is this a radical method?" An Ran asked rhetorically, "I have a problem, the more others don't want me to do anything, I want to go against the current, Master Li wants me to go back, but I don't want to follow the good intentions of others, isn't it very stubborn?" ”
"Hehe, sort of."
"Since Lord Li intends to conclude an alliance with my family, my family is not as ungrateful as the Zha family, who crossed the river and demolished bridges, and if the allies are in trouble, they will naturally not sit idly by."
Li Changsheng put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said, "Is this a deliberate curry-please?" This official is just a small county magistrate of Wu County, how can he deserve such a condescending favor as An Tusi? ”
"I wonder if Master Li has ever heard of beast chess?"
"I haven't heard of it, please don't hesitate to teach!"
"Elephants eat tigers, tigers eat cats, cats eat mice, and rats are the nemesis of elephants."
"Haha~~, this official understands it, now I am like a mouse, and you are a tiger, brine and tofu, one thing and one thing, right?" Li Changsheng said.
An Ran smiled happily: "Adults are smart people, just a little bit." ”
At this time, Li Changsheng said: "An Tusi, are you willing to go to the mountains with this official to investigate and think of a complete solution to the problem of drinking water for the people?" ”
"Your Excellency's invitation is disrespectful."
So, Li Changsheng and An Ran came to the mountain on foot. Since hunters and woodcutters often come here in the mountains, they follow the path they take and go up the mountain along the way.
This walk took half a day, and finally, they came to a high mountain in the south of Wu County.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Nanshan is diametrically opposed to the other two sides, Nanshan is mostly dominated by cliffs, the terrain is steep, a little careless, fall into the mountain that is a catastrophe, death has no place to be buried.
Standing on the cliff of Nanshan, Li Changsheng pointed down and said: "Look, at the foot of Nanshan, a rushing river is separated by this, although it is only a mountain away from Wu County, it is like a moat barrier, insurmountable, it is a pity to put such a river and abandon it." ”
The river at the foot of the mountain is turbulent and surging, which is in stark contrast to the trickle in Wu County.
"It's not that you don't need it, but you can't use it at all, the river has enough water, although it can solve the difficulty of drinking water in Wu County, but it is undoubtedly more difficult to cross the Nanshan Mountain to take the water in the river."
An Ran said a fact that he did not like to hear, ancient times are not more modern than modern. With high-tech and large-scale equipment, wanting to cross mountains to get water is equivalent to a fool's dream, which can be called a joke.
"Now that the only water source flowing through Wu County has been cut off, and the county's water reserves are not enough to support the rainy season, the only way to solve the problem of drinking water is to go to the river. Even if it's difficult, you have to do it. Li Changsheng said.
"You're such a lunatic!!"
An Ran couldn't help but say, he had heard of his deeds a long time ago, and he never considered the consequences when doing things, as long as he felt that he was right, even if he hit the south wall, he must knock out a hole.
People such as Yang Xu, Zaber and Zack. was defeated by such a madman who is not afraid of things, and now, he has to fight with the sky, which is unimaginable.
"As long as it can solve the problem of drinking water for the people, what if they are crazy? Is it possible to sit back and wait for any problem? Li Changsheng said.
An Ran didn't make any rebuttals, just because she knew what Li Changsheng had decided. No matter how much he said, it was useless, at this time, Li Changsheng said: "Let's go!" Let's go back and discuss how to cross the mountain to drink. ”
Originally, the two planned to return the same way, but as a result, Li Changsheng had to find another way and explore the surrounding terrain by the way. Prepare for water diversion.
But the unexpected happened......
When Li Changsheng was halfway through, suddenly, a "buzzing" sound sounded in Li Changsheng's mind, and he fell down on the road with a thud.
Seeing this, An Ran was really taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation and asked, "Master Li?" Are you okay?! ”
Li Changsheng looked a little painful. Shaking his head diligently, he asked, "Did you hear any strange noises?" ”
"Strange sounds?"
An Ran pricked up his ears and listened carefully, except for the sound of the wind blowing green leaves and birds chirping, no other strange sounds were heard in the woods.
In Li Changsheng's mind, there was not only a buzzing sound, but a faint dragon groan in the buzzing sound. And at this time, the dragon pill that had been hanging around his neck released a faint light.
It was the dragon ball that Long'er's Neidan had turned into, and since Long'er was caught, he had been wearing it on his body, and now that Neidan had reacted, it meant that Long'er was very likely to be nearby.
An Ran looked at the strange beads hanging from his neck. It was a lot of money to think that it would shine by itself, and as for the reason, he didn't ask much, seeing Li Changsheng look so painful, it must be the past that evoked his painful memories.
Li Changsheng held the bead tightly, and got up from the ground desperately, looking for something frantically. He knew that the bead had reacted, indicating that it sensed the presence of the dragon.
I didn't expect to find traces of dragons in such a place.
"Sister Long'er, Sister Long'er, Sister Long'er,......"
Li Changsheng shouted frantically in his heart, and the dragon ball reacted, indicating that Long'er was not dead, and after learning this news, it undoubtedly made Li Changsheng cheer up again.
In the past period of time, he didn't know how many times he dreamed of reuniting with Long'er in his dreams, but whenever he woke up from the dream, the miserable reality slapped him hard, and the dream was shattered. Returning to the real reality, that sense of loss is not something that words can describe.
In the darkness, Long'er, who was covered by dozens of bronze chains, suddenly opened her eyes, and her breath was faint and she also felt Li Changsheng's existence.
Faintly, she smelled Li Changsheng's breath, when she was about to lose it. 'Li Changsheng' is undoubtedly her biggest support.
"Immortal!!"
Long Er shouted vigorously, thinking that she was about to die, but after feeling Li Changsheng's breath again, she had to support it, and she couldn't die now, at least she had to see him for the last time.
……
Li Changsheng was forcibly dragged down Nanshan by An Ran, and he didn't know what he had experienced. When I returned to Wu County, the pain disappeared, and the buzzing in my head disappeared.
Li Changsheng, who had recovered his senses, seemed to have discovered something terrible, according to what An Ran said before, the people of the Zha family had found a strong backer, and it was very likely that he was a ghost-faced man.
Now. Going to Nanshan to find water, the Dragon Ball has a reaction, that is, the dragon may be imprisoned near Nanshan, indicating that the lair of the "Spirit Snake" may also be here.
The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but suddenly looked back at Nanshan.
If it weren't for this strange landslide incident, Li Changsheng would not have this harvest, but Nanshan Mountain stretches for more than 300 miles, and it is really difficult to find the 'Spirit Snake' cave.
When all the dust settles, Li Changsheng can concentrate on finding the lair of the spirit snake and rescuing the dragon.
These days, Li Changsheng thinks of his and Long'er's past every day, and in order to restrain his emotions, he is almost busy from day to night, using super high-strength work to suppress his Long'er's thoughts.
And Li Changsheng's daily work is also very simple, in addition to the daily official duties of the county government, he will take the craftsmen up the mountain every day to investigate the situation. Find the best path where you can divert water.
After about ten days of surveying, with the joint efforts of everyone, the best route was finally planned.
Although it can be called the "best", it is also full of difficulties, and it is by no means as easy as imagined, after all, Nanshan is difficult, and it is impossible to overcome it by oneself.
Li Changsheng stood in the lobby of the yamen. He said to everyone: "Immediately post a notice to announce the people of the county, and Wu County will work together to divert water across the mountains." ”
