However, this is not a long-term solution - swimming in the turbulent water itself will consume a lot of physical strength, plus Zhong Wuyan is saving people in the turbulence, and the consumption of physical energy is immeasurable. Most of the brothers have exhausted their physical strength after rescuing a person, and if they go further into the water, they are afraid that they will have to be rescued by others.

So many people could only barely hold on for a moment, just leaning on the room next to them and gasping for breath, only Zhong Wuyan and a few strong men were still desperately swimming into the water to save people, but even if they swam once or twice, they would definitely not be able to hold on. But there are still so many people who have fallen underwater, and it is simply not something that they can save with their little manpower.

What's even more terrifying is that the power of the river rushing out of the mountain pass has not diminished in the slightest, and the water of the Xuan River is still pouring into the submerged town. This will not only cause the river to continue to surge rapidly, impacting the bodies of those who rescue people and those who fall into the water, but also cause the water level of the river to continue to rise, gradually submerging the protruding houses and reducing the shelter space that everyone can rely on on the water.

If the river continues to flow in and the water level continues to rise, soon all the houses in Chenhe Town will be completely submerged. When the time comes, people who have lost their housing will quickly run out of strength, and then they will be swept into the churning water, and they will all be drowned! However, Zhong Wuyan, who was fluttering in the turbulent water, had no time to think about such a crisis, and her tense consciousness only thought about how to desperately rush into the river again to save one more child who had fallen into the water.

Until everyone stopped weakly and floated on the surface of the water in self-preservation, Zhong Wuyan was still desperately swimming with burning eyes, unwilling to give up anyone who could be saved. "Boss, don't save it, you can't save it!" Da Hei looked at Zhong Wuyan's desperate figure from a distance and shouted sadly. But Zhong Wuyan turned a deaf ear, and still persistently rushed into the water to save people, but a hand grabbed her from behind and dragged her back desperately, she subconsciously looked back and saw that it was three dogs.

"Boss, don't save it anymore, it's useless to save it, there's nowhere to release people!" The three dogs flashed tears of despair and shouted bitterly to Zhong Wuyan. At this time, Zhong Wuyan subconsciously turned his gaze, only to see that most of the houses that originally protruded from the water surface had been submerged. The water level is rising faster than people calculate, and after there is no room to rely on, more and more people can only be forced to float in the turbulence, struggling with difficulty, and even many people are physically exhausted and struggling to move, just out of the water not long after, and then sink again.

And now there is no one to save people anymore, and as soon as those people sink, they sink directly to death. Looking at this distressing and desperate scene, Zhong Wuyan's tight arms suddenly loosened, and her whole body became sore, and it was the three dogs who desperately dragged her behind her to prevent her from falling into the turbulent river.

"Why...... Why the hell ......" filled everyone's hearts, and they didn't understand why the harmonious and peaceful Chenhe Town had suffered such a catastrophe. Could it be that all of them can only die here? But the raging river was still pouring in, and the tumbling water was still rising, and all of them were indeed dead end. Under the soft afternoon sun, the desperate gaze overflowed everyone's eyeholes like water.

But at this moment, at this most desperate moment, the dawn of hope flashed from afar. More than a dozen large ships printed with the word "Qin" sailed from afar, and quickly drove into Chenhe Town, which had been flooded by heavy winds, riding the strong wind. "Official ship! That's the official ship of the imperial court! People with good eyes saw the conspicuous word "Qin" on the wall of the ship from a distance, and immediately understood that it was an official ship sent by the Qin and Chu courts.

"Thank goodness! The court has sent someone to save us! Then, the rest of the people who floated on the surface of the water immediately sighed with tears in their eyes. There is salvation! We are saved! In this desperate situation, anyone who saw the official ship sent by the imperial court would be moved to tears, even those Shizhai brothers who had always hated the government, also shouted excitedly at this moment.

Only Zhong Wuyan did not say anything. Although the moment she saw the appearance of the ship, her heart did light up with hope, but when she saw the big word "Qin" on the wall of the ship, her expression became silent and solemn again. Because she has not forgotten, and will never forget, the culprit who caused today's monstrous flood and destroyed the entire Chenhe Town - it is Xu Fu, the imperial physician of the imperial court!

But Zhong Wuyan didn't show any reactionary aura, after all, this is everyone's only hope to survive, if they can, no matter what, they have to live first - even if it's on the imperial court's boat. At this moment, ten large ships were already speeding into the flooded town, stopping the huge hull amid the cheers of countless townspeople.

Then a middle-aged man in an official uniform appeared from the bow of the boat and shouted towards the entire submerged Chenhe Town. "I am the second-level water governor appointed by the imperial court, and I am specially dispatched ten military official ships to rescue the townspeople trapped in the flood in Chenhe Town by the imperial court." The voice of the Governor of Water was very loud, and it spread far away in front of all the people trapped in the water in front of him, and they immediately burst into tears of excitement.

"Sure enough, they're here to save us! There is salvation! There is salvation! "Great official! We're here, get us up!" The townspeople shouted excitedly, waiting for the officers and men on board to lower the rope and they would be able to escape from the water. But the townsfolk in the water waited for a long time, and did not see the rope to save the people come down, so they continued to shout.

"Officials, let go of the water rope! Some of the old people and children here are almost unable to hold on. However, despite the constant shouting of the townspeople in the water, none of the ten official ships lowered the water rope to save people, so gradually, the expressions of the townspeople changed, and their eyes became anxious and nervous. At this moment, the middle-aged man who had become the chief of the water governor stood at the bow of the boat again and spoke to everyone, and he puffed out his chest and said righteously. "Don't worry, listen to the official first. This special mobilization of official ships to come out to save people consumes a huge amount, the imperial court's financial resources are insufficient, and it is difficult to make up for the shortfall, and it is very difficult for us to save people here. "Listening to the words of the Water Governor, everyone's eyes dimmed, and they didn't understand what the Water Governor meant by saying these words at this time." Therefore, it was decided by the arbitration of the official that each rescued townsman should make up a certain amount of money for the rescue operation of the imperial court. ”

"Great official, what do you mean by that?" The townsfolk in the water raised their heads and couldn't help frowning. Standing on the high bow of the boat, the Governor of the Water looked down at all the townsfolk trapped in the water, smiled slightly and raised his voice.
