Chapter 318: Seventeen (Second Watch)

Gu Yun asked people to eat in batches, and he and Liu Ziqi stood by the river embankment, observing the water flowing upstream.

The rivers on both sides should also be heightened, and the people who fill their stomachs will spontaneously carry sandbags to fill the banks on both sides of the river.

"Although the water in the upper reaches of Danzhou is intercepted, the terrain of Danzhou Qingzhou is too low, and I am afraid that such a heavy rain will still be flooded." Liu Ziqi said loudly.

"I don't care about it." Gu Yun smiled helplessly and said, "Fortunately, as long as the water in Lanzhou is intercepted, Danzhou and Qingzhou will not become a vast ocean." ”

Liu Ziqi nodded, in the face of natural disasters, how small people are.

Since the beginning of summer this year, there has been so much rain in the north, how could the officials in the north not report it, if the imperial court had allocated silver money as soon as possible to clear the dredging and dam, the north would not have been like this.

At this moment, Kyoto is afraid that it is still singing and dancing, and the officials have beautiful wives and concubines, drunk and dreaming of death.

Liu Ziqi couldn't help but show a sarcastic sneer.

In this world, some places are in dire straits, and some places are calm.

In some places, there are mourning and crying everywhere, and in some places, there are beautiful sounds and laughter.

Looking at the people in the river who are struggling to build the river embankment in the muddy water with sandbags on their backs, Liu Ziqi's eyes are becoming deeper and more determined, one day, he wants the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, and he wants the rivers and mountains and rivers of Taiyan to be clear.

"Oops!" The torch in Gu Yun's hand shook slightly, and he shouted, "Come on, the embankment is about to break!" ”

The rushing water continued to wash down, and the section of the embankment reinforced with ropes was already skewed.

The people beside the river embankment hurriedly ran over, and Gu Yun threw the torch to the dark guard seventeen on the side, and ran to the embankment in the water regardless of it.

Liu Ziqi stretched out his hand to stop him, "Gu Yun, calm down!" ”

He turned around and called out to twenty or so men and asked them to tie ropes around their bodies.

The first man also carried a bundle of ropes on his body, and under the command of Liu Ziqi, they pulled each other down the river and approached the embankment.

Alternate hands carried sandbags from the river bank to fill the gaps washed away by the current, and the first to walk was a man with good water ability, after filling the gaps, he dived to the bottom of the water, and tied the ropes on his back to the iron stakes at the bottom of the river again.

There is only a rope at the moment, and although the rope is not strong enough, there is a good chance that the sandbag will be broken again, and the rope may be broken, but this is the only way at the moment.

The blacksmith shops in the city could not forge a long, thick chain in such a short time.

Pulling the rope, the man went down the other side of the river, this side of the river is the side that intercepts the flow of water in Lanzhou, the water is turbulent and rushing, the man just entered the water, he was swept into the water, if it were not for the rope tied to his body, there was a strong man behind him tightly dragging him, this person was afraid that he would be washed away by the rapid current.

The men who survived the catastrophe looked frightened, and some did not dare to enter the water again.

Gu Yun watched by the river, and saw that the reinforced rope was getting looser and looser due to the movement of the sandbags, so he immediately said, "Come on with me." ”

He walked up the river embankment with a resolute expression, and the man at the head hesitated and said, "Little Marquis, this water is very urgent, and people can't go down at all." ”

Gu Yun patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Master, I'm coming!" Seventeen on the river threw down the torch in his hand, he walked to the river embankment, took the rope from Gu Yun's hand and tied it around his waist, "Master, you can't have an accident, I'd better come." ”

Gu Yun's expression was tense, and seeing that another sandbag had slipped into the turbulent water, he didn't hesitate any longer, he closed his eyes and admonished, "Seventeen, you must ...... Be sure to come back alive. ”

Seventeen nodded, letting go of the rope and going into the water.

A sweeping force made the rope tighten suddenly, Gu Yun pulled the rope tightly, and looked nervously at the soles of his feet.

Seventeen jumped into the river and was instantly submerged by the current, but fortunately there was a rope around his waist that pulled him tightly.

He rose and fell with the current, surfaced, and made a gesture to Gu Yun that he was fine, signaling everyone to continue to put the rope.

The bigger the waves became, the person at the front almost fell into the river, and was grabbed by Gu Yun by the collar and pulled back.

Because of Gu Yun's action of saving this person, the rope was sent forward suddenly, Gu Yun immediately grabbed the rope, the rope wore out the palm of his hand, he didn't feel any pain, only focused on looking at Seventeen in the water.

Although Seventeen is called Seventeen, it is not that he is ranked Seventeen, Gu Yun only has two secret guards, and Seventeen and Eighteen have grown up with him since childhood.

When Gu Yun was seven or eight years old, he was already familiar with thousand-character texts, but he couldn't count well, less than twenty.

Seventeen is called seventeen because he could only count seventeen on his fingers and toes at that time.

Eighteen is stupid, when Gu Yun said that he only had eighteen toes and fingers, he thought that he was really missing two fingers, and he cried in fright.

Gu Yun held the rope and prayed in his heart, Seventeen, you must come back alive.

There were some people beside the river who were clinging to the tail of the rope, all watching the situation in the river with concern.

In the distance, a large group of people suddenly came from the riverbank, holding torches in their hands, and in the face of the torrential rain, hurriedly marching towards the embankment.
