Chapter 39 Intercession, the Flood is coming
Mr. Du said with a smile: "This boat is full of your people, our father and daughter can't fly to the sky, you don't have to hide it anymore, and tell all your plans happily, how about it?" β
Yang Tianfeng hesitated a little, touched his chin, thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm going to fight with the devil, it's best to be able to take down the county." In the city, there was food collected from other villages, as well as a lot of military supplies. β
Such an amazing thing was said by him plainly, but Mr. Du and Du Meiying were stunned, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"Why?" Du Meiying asked strangely.
Yang Tianfeng smiled silently, stretched out his hand to pour wine for Mr. Du, filled it himself, raised his glass with both hands, and said sincerely: "Mr. Du, the boy respects you a glass, I hope you can help, we will work together to benefit Sangzi, and also make a name in history." β
"Leaving a name in history? The old man didn't dare to hope for it. Mr. Du groaned for a while, also picked up his wine glass, and said: "It is my duty to benefit Sangzi, but it is my duty." Boy, I'll just drink this one and see how you do it in the future? β
After being full of wine and food, Mr. Du went out to measure the water depth again, but there was no sign of flooding of the yellow water upstream. Back in the cabin, the old gentleman took out a pen and paper and began to write something.
Yang Tianfeng looked at his watch and was about to get up to say goodbye, but Du Meiying stopped him.
After hesitating for a moment, Du Meiying opened her mouth and said, "Since you have decided to change your evil ways and return to the right, you might as well let Miss Zhao go!" She's pathetic. Besides, forcibly marrying a folk girl is not good for your reputation. β
Yang Tianfeng blinked his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Alas, the most painful thing for people is to do good deeds, but they are resented. If I hadn't married her into the Yang family, she and several of her classmates would have been arrested by the Japanese and taken into the city. What will be the consequences if it falls into the hands of the Japanese, can Miss Du imagine it? β
Du Meiying nodded stupidly and shook her head vigorously.
This girl is just easy to deceive, too simple, too naΓ―ve. Yang Tianfeng sighed in his heart and continued: "Welcoming her into the Yang family, I haven't moved a finger from her. In order to convince the outsiders, I went into the cave that night, and I wanted to tell her that I was sleeping on the ground, and that she was sleeping in bed, just to make a show. But she was fine, and while I was unprepared, she struck me on the head with a candlestick. Alas, I'm so unlucky! β
Du Meiying really showed a very sympathetic look on her face, blinked her eyes and said, "If you want to turn your face with the Japanese, will you let her go?" β
"Of course." Yang Tianfeng said seriously: "The love between men and women naturally requires consensual thinking. As the saying goes: a twisted melon is not sweet, and I still understand this. β
Du Meiying stretched out her thumb with great satisfaction and praised: "Sure enough, he is a man who understands righteousness, you have to be true to your word." β
Yang Tianfeng nodded with a smile, said goodbye to Mr. Du, pushed open the hatch and walked out.
"Dad, the kid surnamed Yang isn't too bad, right?" Du Meiying sat down at the table and said to her father with a smile.
Mr. Du raised his head and said earnestly: "You have little experience in the world, where do you know that people's hearts are unpredictable. What kind of person the kid surnamed Yang is, we can see clearly later. β
"Well, Daddy was right." Du Meiying fiddled with her braids and said happily: "However, what did I do, Miss Zhao, that is, the third young grandmother of the Yang family, is finally about to be free." β
"I'm afraid it's not easy." Mr. Du gently put down the brush and analyzed his daughter: "The Yang family is a big family, and the young grandmother who married in just let it go for no reason, what should I say outside?" Do you want this reputation? Whether the boy of the Yang family doesn't know the severity, or really doesn't care, let's not care about it for now, but the old lady of the Yang family will not agree easily. β
"So, what then?" Du Meiying's disappointment was overflowing, and her mouth pursed.
Mr. Du frowned and said solemnly: "You don't care about this matter." What the Yang family kid said just now was right, Zhou Laishan originally wanted to use these students to invite merit and rewards, although he was a little nonsense, but he did save those foreign students who were messing around. But the woman surnamed Zhao has visited the church with the boy of the Yang family and entered the cave room, why is she still restless? Although there is no husband and wife yet, this title has been decided, how can she not even understand this truth. β
Du Meiying didn't dare to talk back to her father, she stuck out her tongue gently, hugged Mr. Du's arm, and said coquettishly: Dad, since people don't agree, the boy of the Yang family should write a letter of resignation and return his freedom. Staying in the Yang family for so long, people's innocence has been ruined, how can you say this? β
"No nonsense." Mr. Du widened his eyes and reprimanded: "How do you read the female commandment, a girl's family actually said such a thing, it was all taught by a woman surnamed Zhao." β
Hmph, Du Meiying pursed her lips and sulked.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of June 9, 1938, with the earth-shattering loud sound of the last dozens of bundles of explosives, high above the ground level, it was as if the water of the Yellow River hanging in the air finally crossed the excavation and slowly overflowed.
At noon, the Nationalist Army, which was in charge of digging the hole, transferred four more flat-fire guns from the theater to bombard the excavation. The gap was widened by six or seven meters. Suddenly, the Yellow River was like an enraged dragon, tumbling and roaring out of the breach, and the huge impact force slammed against the embankment, making the mud and sand on both sides of the excavation like dominoes that had been pushed down, and kept collapsing and crumbling to both sides. The flush is getting bigger and bigger, and the current is getting more and more rapid.
The next day, the heavens were furious, and lightning and thunder roared. All day, the Central Plains was pouring torrential rain, like a waterfall falling, hundreds of miles inside and outside, a wave of smoke. The water volume of the Yellow River increased sharply, and the breach of Huayuankou was washed away, and at the same time, the silted Zhaokou was also washed away by the flood.
After the confluence of the two streams of Zhaokou and Huayuankou, the Jialu River began to overflow, and the overflowing river water broke the Longhai Railway and flowed towards the southeast of Henan.
The water of the Yellow River is like a demon that has been locked in a treasure bottle for tens of thousands of years, and once it is released, it is fierce and abnormal, and it is difficult to control. The Central Plains is 100 miles, the river is full, and the water potential is sky-high. The wind howled and the waves were overwhelming. The overflow wave head of more than a foot high, like a ruthless beast, swallows people and rushes houses, destroys villages and villages, and wreaks havoc without scruples, exerting obscenity.........
Before sunrise, the sky was a little cloudy, and it was a moment of confusion. As soon as the rainstorm stopped, the leaves with the raindrops scattered the water droplets on the ground in the breeze and shaking.
The vortex river had risen and soon flattened, and the water had become yellow and dirty. This indicates that the yellow water is coming, and everyone's mood becomes nervous and anxious.
After a day of hustle and bustle, coupled with the strong drive of the security team, the town was empty, only patrols walked around the streets, which made the town a little more lively.
