Chapter 609: A Corpse Stuck in a Tree Branch and Drifting
The flood came too quickly, the inundation area was too wide, and there was no sign of even receding, which made Li Yumiao and others anxious like ants on a hot pot, panicked and overwhelmed.
The most important thing that puzzled them all was the lack of water and drought in the north this year, especially in the south of the Turbidity River and north of the Nanjiang River, and in the middle and lower reaches of the two rivers, where a drought broke out once in a century.
There is a shortage of water in the entire northland, and it hasn't rained for a long time, although there is rain upstream, but I don't know what the reason is, according to some intelligence information they have collected in the gourd valley, they know after summarizing.
Some powerful families in the upper reaches, the selfish squires of the riches, because of the drought in the lower reaches of the Northland this year, are afraid of being affected, and these powerful people who have been lost are called taking precautions, but in fact they are selfish and only care about themselves.
The idea of fighting the turbid river as early as possible, barging the river and diverting the water of the turbid river to the dam reservoir for water storage, regardless of whether they themselves are really short of water, and whether the people downstream are drought to death, are storing water as much as possible, even if it is just intercepted in the reservoir next to the turbid river, the baby looks at it like anything, and there is no sign of opening the gate to release water, resulting in a great reduction in the water volume of the turbid river.
The only fortunate thing is that the Turbidity River is the mother river as big and wide as the Nanjiang River in this vast land, and it has not been interrupted since ancient times.
However, in such a situation, when the water volume of the Turbid River has been greatly reduced, where does this flood come from? I'm afraid it didn't fall out of thin air from the sky, right?
What Li Yumiao and the others don't know is that the sudden flood, where did it fall from the sky?
This is by no means a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
It turns out that the flood is damned Beixin Imperial Court? What a bunch of beasts!
The battle of the Beixin people to encircle the Nanqian army on the south bank of the Turbid River? The rout was too fast and too fast, in order to keep their Yuan Capital? It was also to prevent Ji Yun from leading the army across the river to continue the Northern Expedition.
Seeing the army of Nanqian pressing the south bank of the Turbid River? When you want to take advantage of the dry season to forcibly cross the river to the north? The Beixin court panicked.
In order to protect themselves, the dog thieves actually disregarded the lives of the people downstream? Chose a lose-lose approach? Directly dug the mouth of the Turbid River on the north bank, and dug up the reservoirs hoarded by the powerful people upstream, in an extremely cruel and extremely stupid way, trying to prevent the Nanqian army from crossing the Turbid River.
Flooded north and south banks of the river? A sea of water? The land that was previously dry has long since cracked and desertified, and when the flood comes, it is overwhelming and unstoppable......
Only pity the innocent people who have been displaced by the drought themselves, and escaped their lives? But they can't escape the luck, and they finally survive the last breathing of the homeless people? After this experience, I don't know how many people? will be killed by a sudden flood......
On the hillside, looking at the turbulent torrent, Li Yumiao and Jin Daya panicked? Don't care about the sadness of spring and autumn? The two sisters almost wiped away their tears? Not waiting for the flood waters to recede, hundreds of men moved in unison, cutting wood and building rafts, and despite the danger, several people formed a team, centered on the hillside, and began to scatter in all directions, looking for the people they were eager to find.
1 meter, 5 meters, 10 meters, 100 meters, 100 meters, ......
The scope of the search expanded little by little, and then expanded, and no one could be found in the circle and circle, but everyone did not dare or give up hope.
It's just that what Li Yumiao and the others don't know is that the person they are desperately looking for has long been wrapped up in the impact of the flood at this moment, and they are heading to the lower reaches of the Turbid River, not to mention, and they have long deviated from the original course of the Turbid River.
Xiao Yuqi was carried by the current, and floated far past a huge city surrounded by floods, and the lower half of the city wall was soaked in water, where she looked very familiar, but before she came to her senses, why was the majestic and vast city familiar to her, and where did it come from, and the turbulent flood enveloped her again and drifted away.
The sky gradually darkened, nested in the basin, has not chosen a suitable place to stay, forced to be carried by the flood to continue to drift Xiao Yuqi, drank some water to replenish his physical strength, but people think, rippling in the flood at night is particularly dangerous, after all, in the dark night, no matter how much night vision you can have, but there is no guarantee that your bath will not hit a foreign object in the water and overturn.
For the sake of insurance, even if he still couldn't find a suitable landing site, Xiao Yuqi, who was very anxious, decided to say whether to find a place, fix the bathtub he was riding, rest well at night, and then untie the shackles after dawn tomorrow, continue to drift down to find a suitable place to dock, and then find a way back.
Only then did he put his ideas into action, and while there was still a touch of bright color in the sky, Xiao Yu inhabited the yellow ocean, looking for a fixed object that could fix the bathtub as much as possible.
After a while, the basin continued to float down for about ten minutes, and it took ten minutes to find it.
Finally, when the last ray of light disappeared from the earth, Xiao Yuqi finally saw that there was a forest in front of his right, and the tall trees had stubbornly held up in this flood.
Xiao Yuqi was overjoyed, hurriedly rowed the broken wooden board he picked up in his hand, took it as an oar, and rowed vigorously towards the woods in front of him, preparing to spend the night there tonight.
When she wasted all her strength and finally rowed to the edge of the forest, she didn't care about taking a breath, and she didn't have time to rejoice, for the sake of safety, Xiao Yuqi still chose to pass through the branches blocking the road and go to the edge of the largest tree trunk inside.
The big tree inside, the trunk is the thickest, the branches and leaves are the most luxuriant, I tied it for the night, I can be more stable, rest assured, in the unknown situation, no matter how cautious it is, Xiao Yuqi decided that his choice was very right.
Continue to row towards the woods, and when she finally takes control of the bathtub and reaches the tree, she finds a bundle of rope from the big tree, first tied, and ties it around the bathtub twice, and then takes the other end of the rope, intending to find the first thick branch on the tree to fix it.
In order to choose the right branch, Xiao Yuqi subconsciously circled around the big tree for half a circle, and when she turned to the other end of the big tree from this side, good guy, she instantly found that in the flood, the big tree stretched between the branches, it was actually, actually stuck with a dead body, a dead corpse?
I want to spend the night here at night, although there must be countless dead and injured people in such a big flood, and it is normal to have corpses or something, but I am not afraid of corpses, but I inevitably feel that I should just feel that I should respond.
After all, no matter how big a person is, he doesn't want to be in the same place with the corpse, so he is so big that he spends the night together, right?
