Chapter 442: Breaking the Levee (1)

After so many days of rain, the water of the Yellow River has risen to make people's hearts cold, and it is a boat against the current, as soon as it comes out of Huai'an, the degree of the boat slows down.

And Sun Dan is now famous all over the world, that is, he is the champion of the Gong, and he is also the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and a "Daily Knowledge" has gained great prestige for him, and there is a vague atmosphere of a generation of Wenzong.

His visit to Huai'an to preside over the examination made the scholars of Huai'an Mansion feel very excited, and along the way, local officials and scholars continued to board the ship to visit. Those children who were about to take the exam even brought the articles they wrote to ask for comments, hoping to get Sun Dan's blue eyes. After all, the prefectural exam is not as strict as the township exam, and the examiner's personal preference is still very important.

Sun Dan was also annoyed by them, and he stopped and stopped all the way, spending a lot of saliva. He first stayed in Taoyuan for a day, and then stayed in Suqian for two days, lecturing for a day, and then beat the local scholars and went to Suining by boat.

On this day, he was in a hurry to leave, and unconsciously missed the lodging, and when it was dark, he had not yet arrived in Suining. The rain outside the ship was also pouring down, and the canopy rustled for a while.

At the same time, the water of the Yellow River became more turbulent, and the waves were surging in the dark night, and the boats shook violently on the water.

Han Yue, who came with Sun Dan, suddenly became worried in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "My lord, seeing that this water is in such a hurry, sailing in the dark, I am afraid that there will be danger." Why don't you turn around and go back to Suqian and wait for the water to get smaller? ”

Sun Dan was also uncomfortable, he was originally from the north, and he didn't know water, although he sat on the boat for so long a while ago, he didn't faint. But when I heard the roaring sound of water outside the boat, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid in my heart.

He was a little moved in his heart and asked, "It's not appropriate to go back to Suqian now, it's better to go ashore and rest for a night, and then leave tomorrow." What is this place? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rustling of rain on the canopy suddenly stopped. At the same time, there is bright light coming down from the sky.

The captain of the boat cheered outside, "Poor God, this mildew rain has finally stopped." ”

Sun Dan was happy in his heart, and walked out of the cabin to look up, but saw a crescent moon hanging high above his head, illuminating everything clearly.

"We have arrived at the boundary of Suining, and in front of it is Baiyanghe Town, there are more than 200 households, because there is a small wharf in the town, and the government has set up a post station in the town, where you can spend the night." Han Yue asked Sun Dan: "My lord, why don't you park the boat there?" ”

Although the rain stopped, the water flow was more rapid, and the wind blew across the river, blowing Sun Dan's sleeves and hunting.

Sun Dan sighed: "That's it, it seems that you won't be able to get to Suining today, let's go to the Baiyang River to anchor!" ”

It is estimated that the boss of the boat was also frightened by the water of the Yellow River, and when he heard Sun Dan say this, he was amnesty, and said in a loud voice: "My lord is wise, my lord is wise!" And he hoisted the sails, and sailed the ship as fast as he could.

After a while, I saw that I was about to arrive at Baiyang Town, which was strange to say, but the water of the Yellow River, which was still roaring endlessly, was not as urgent as before, and the water level was receding little by little.

This sudden vision made everyone on the ship a little stunned, and even the boatman's movements slowed down.

Sun Dan felt strange in his heart, standing on the bow of the boat and looking into the distance, suddenly, he saw several small boats floating from the upstream, amazingly fast, one of the boats almost hit Sun Dan's boat because of his hurry. If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the boat boss, he would have stabbed out and swept away the two boats, which would have really caused a tragedy.

The boss of the boat was frightened and angry, and scolded at the boat: "Run to the funeral, you grandma, how do you do the boat?" "He runs on the water all year round, and he has a very good way of scolding people, and he tries to have an immoral relationship with other people's female relatives over and over again, and he doesn't have the same.

The other party was probably annoyed by the ship's boss's scolding, hurriedly stabilized the boat, and replied: "Scold, scold, scold, you can scold hard." said that Lao Tzu went to the funeral, you went to the funeral! The sky is about to fall, so you might as well save your strength to escape. "After that, I will leave in a hurry.

Sun Dan's heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted: "Boat family, what's wrong ahead, we are about to go to Baiyang Town, can we go?" ”

"Baiyang Town?" Although the boatman was unhappy in his heart, he saw that Sun Dan's speech and demeanor were not ordinary people, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and shouted: "I'm afraid that the place has been flooded, so let's run quickly, it's too late?" ”

"What?" Sun Dan was shocked.

The boatman shouted again: "The embankment of the Yellow River in Suining has collapsed, run!" With that, he drove the boat away as fast as he could.

Sun Dan and the people on the boat were stunned.

After a long time, Han Yue asked, "My lord, what now?" ”

Sun Dan thought for a while: "You should go to see it close to be sure, in the face of such a catastrophe, as an official of the imperial court, how can there be a reason to escape." He also didn't want to go to Suining to inspect the disaster in his heart, after all, the water and fire are ruthless, if something really happened, do you have to have a second crossing? But on the surface, he couldn't help but make gestures.

As soon as these words came out, the people on the ship were shocked. The boss of the boat even knelt on the boat and kept kowtowing, crying: "My lord, there are old and young villains, if something really happens now, the villain's family can only jump into the Yellow River." ”

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" The boatmen also knelt down, their heads rattling on the deck.

Han Yue was also so frightened that her forehead was covered with sweat: "My lord, you come to the body of ten thousand gold, your body is delicate and expensive, how can you be in danger?" ”

Sun Dan deliberately said angrily: "Sun Mou is an official of the imperial court, a gentleman, and a loyal monarch." At this point in the catastrophe, how can we watch tens of thousands of people die in the belly of the fish? Then Sui Ning's own official really went to decide. ”

While he said righteously and strictly, he secretly scolded in his heart: Han Yue, you dead man, why don't you persuade the master to go back to Huai'an?

Probably because she had a heart, Han Yue responded with a "yes", suddenly hugged Sun Dan, and shouted to the boat boss: "Come on, protect the adults back to Huai'an, go back to Huai'an!" ”

Immediately, a few servants pounced up, dragged and lifted, and carried Sun Dan back to the cabin. The boss of the boat also lifted the anchor desperately, and did not rush downstream with the water.

Sun Dan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, but on the surface, he looked angry, and scolded: "Han Yue, you want to rebel, let go, let go!" ”

Han Yue said: "My lord, as long as you can go back to Huai'an, even if you ask for the villain's head, I, Han Yue, will admit it." But my lord, you are the pillar of the country, this Huainan has a big flood, whether it is the imperial examination or the relief of the victims, you must preside over it! ”

Sun Dan gave up the struggle and smiled bitterly: "Han Yue, Han Yue, Lord Ben was hurt by you this time." escaped from the battle, and I don't know what I will be scolded in the future. ”

There were more boats floating upstream, and the river was full of panicked shouts and curses: "Escape, escape, the Yellow River has burst its embankment!" ”V
