The flood swept through the levee in an instant, destroying and decaying, tearing rocks and trees along the way, and there was little to stop the flood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the dozen or so people who had planned to dig the embankment did not have to bother, but the flood dug them up, and they dug up thoroughly, leaving no bones.

Although he was a little unbearable, Mo Qian had to admit that when these guys died, the people around him did not have a trace of pity, but they were a little refreshed, and some people were even greatly relieved.

Mo Qian thought about it and understood that these people sent by Master Liu were originally ill-intentioned, and after digging the embankment, whether it was washing away the farmland or destroying the mountain village, it would bring them a catastrophe.

How can they not hate such people? Now that he is dead, he is in fulfillment of the old saying----- you can't live if you do your own evil!"

As soon as he withdrew, Mo Qian sent someone to inform the people in the surrounding villages.

"Hong Feng is here, run for your life!"

"The levee is broken, the flood is rushing in, everyone flee!"

On the side of the embankment, what used to be a quiet village has now become a noisy and noisy city.

But the shouting in the middle of the city is not so pleasant.

Originally, he was a half-asleep person, but when he heard these words outside the door, a stirring spirit instantly rushed out of the door.

By this time, the flood was not just raging near the levee, but had spread to a large surrounding village.

Not only did it flood the farmland, but the flood also mixed with rocks rushing down, and a large number of houses collapsed in an instant, and the howling flood swept away the belongings of the home, and even people were swept away if they ran slowly.

The emotions of panic and fear spread in this small Ningyuan.

Fortunately, there was a forenotice from Mo Qian and others, otherwise at midnight, if the flood invaded and fell, I don't know how many people would die in their sleep.

Under the guidance of Mo Qian and others, men, women and children from the surrounding villages quickly evacuated to the high places with pots and pans on their backs.

There are many people who have not even woken up, and have not even figured out what is going on, but are just walking with the crowd in a coma, and there are many who will never wake up.

And many more people cried as they walked, with their homes destroyed by the flood behind them and the uncertain future of the mountain road in front of them.

Mo Qian walked in the forefront, and at this time, as the highest governor of Ning Yuan, Mo Qian became their backbone.

Thinking of the people who were still in the yamen, Mo Qian looked at the flood that was still surging under the mountain, this direction was not mainly towards Ningyuan County, and even if there was a ripple, it was not very serious, which made Mo Qian breathe a sigh of relief.

Mo Qian made a rough estimate that the flood was due to a torrential flood caused by the autumn rainstorm.

If it is a large river, the basin area is large, and there is a network of rivers, lakes and reservoirs to regulate and store, and the flood peaks formed by different rains in different tributaries.

When converging into the main stream, the flood processes of each tributary are often superimposed on each other, forming a flood peak with a long duration and relatively gentle fluctuations.

However, the basin area of the small river and the storage capacity of the river network are small, and a single rain will form a flood peak with rapid fluctuations.

For example, Ningyuan is in the lower reaches of a small river, and when the upstream river's storage capacity is out of control, a flood is formed here in Ningyuan.

One of the important reasons is that the embankment was excavated before, and although Mo Qian and others later repaired it urgently, it was not completely repaired due to the short repair time.

So when the flood came, the mended gap was washed away with little use.

Torrential floods are sudden turbulence that runs along rivers and destroys everything, and flash floods are deadly destructive.

The other is a slow-rising flood, which is not so damaging.

In Mo Qian's view, although this flood is dangerous, it can only be regarded as a larger flood by the standards of the previous life, that is, the kind that occurs once in ten years.

If there is a basin-wide flood at the end of the 20th century, not to mention the whole of Ningyuan, even the entire Jian'an Province may fall into crisis.

But the thousands of people in these villages are the next thing for him to worry about.

Finally arrived at the hillside, there was an open area here, enough to house more than a thousand people, since these people were evacuated safely, then what Mo Qian had to do was to let them survive.

Seeing that everyone was a little sluggish, Mo Qian had no choice but to cheer up and said loudly,

"Folks, I'm Ningyuan's county magistrate Moqian! Now everyone can see that our homes have been destroyed by the floods, the fertile land is gone, and even some people have lost their loved ones. It's understandable that you're sad, but please trust me, as long as I, Mo Qian, am here, I will definitely help you rebuild your home. ”

Mo Qian shouted a few words loudly, and only then did everyone raise their heads slightly, and Mo Qian continued to speak loudly.

"We must not sit still, the most important thing for us now is to settle down in the mountains, and then wait until this wave of flood peaks has passed, and the young and middle-aged people will follow me to the embankment to block the danger, I hereby promise that after the flood, the victims will receive relief, and those who participate in the blockage will receive payment, and we will never break our promise, and we will never let everyone suffer from hunger and cold."

With that, Mo Qian bit his fingertips, tore off the corner of his clothes, wrote a crimson IOU on it, and then asked the officials behind him to help hang it.

After the flood, their homes were destroyed and their fertile fields were flooded, which means that they have no food for the second half of the year, which is the most basic thing for their survival.

If Mo Qian hadn't been able to come out to calm people's hearts at this time, then they wouldn't even have the faith to live.

And Xu Jing and others were also behind Mo Qian's majesty, shouting out Mo Qian's words on the IOU: After the flood, the victims will receive relief, and those who participate in the danger will receive compensation, and they will never break their promises!

Under the encouragement of Mo Qian and the others, the eyes of the people present regained some of their brilliance, and then they cried loudly.

"Please save us from fire and water!"

"My lord, save us, our house is all ruined."

"God, open your eyes, have mercy on us miserable people!"

The whole clay fell to his knees, and he kept kowtowing to Mo Qian.

"Everyone, hurry up, please believe me, I, Mo Qian, will definitely lead everyone through the difficulties!"

Mo Qian bit his lip and said, "Now, let's set up camp here first, and when the flood peak passes, everyone will follow me to repair the embankment." ”

"Good! We listen to adults! Immediately, someone among the people responded and said, "Now this adult is their last hope!" (To be continued.) )
