Chapter 178: Where Does the Water Come From?
"Second master, I can't take care of it so much, disaster relief is urgent, if it really doesn't work, notify the village chief first, and let all the villagers move to this dirt slope."
"I called the town brigade and asked them to send someone to evacuate the villagers to a safe place!"
Liu Xiaojiao said and quickly took out her mobile phone to make a call, but she didn't make several calls in a row, and her face was full of disbelief.
"This ...... How can it be? Now that the information network covers almost the whole world, how can mobile phones not have a single signal? ”
"It's useless, I don't know what the reason is, the phone can't go out, all of us have no signal on our mobile phones, and we can't even dial out wired phones!" The villager who came to inform us explained anxiously.
"Let's go, Xiao Ying and Tianyan, you two go down with me to have a look, Xiao Jiao, you continue to contact the outside, this thing is unusual......"
The situation was urgent, and at this time, I couldn't care about the corpse of Niu Erlang who was killed by the water snail, and I, the second master, and Yan Xiaoying, under the leadership of the villagers, hurried down the dirt slope.
As soon as we descended to the village, our brows furrowed, and the low-lying part of the village had been submerged. At the entrance of the village, the village chief is leading the villagers to dig up mud and fill bags in an attempt to stop the river from flooding into the village.
But the Ambergris River surrounds the village, and the overflowing black water almost enters the village from all directions, making it impossible to stop it.
We stood at the entrance of the village and looked outside, and there was a sea outside, and some people said that a few villagers had just jumped into the water without heeding the advice and tried to escape. But when they swam out more than ten meters, they suddenly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace, and I am afraid they were all killed.
"Second master, village chief, it is a matter of time before this black water floods the village, it is not a way to go on like this, quickly organize the villagers to evacuate to the dirt slope, the loss of furniture and property is small, but human life is a matter of heaven!" Yan Xiaoying hurriedly persuaded.
The villagers are not stupid, they all understand that in the face of such natural disasters, it is not human power that can resist, so before the village chief can speak, some villagers have already run home and dragged the old man up the dirt slope to take refuge.
In the heavy rain, the whole village was in chaos, children cried, old people knelt on the ground and prayed for God's protection, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and the chaos was uncontrollable.
In the end, Liu Xiaojiao appeared with a propaganda loudspeaker in the village to stabilize the situation.
The river swelled so fast that in a short time it was over the mud dam line that the village chief had erected, and the water level in the village was waist-high.
Thanks to the small population in the village, more than 20 families, plus young and middle-aged people have gone out to work in other places to earn a living, and most families are left behind with only the elderly and children.
The old people and children combined are only half a hundred, and this time Yan Xiaoying and I helped the villagers evacuate, but we have won the favor of most people, at least they don't hate me as much as before.
The so-called icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, although the rural people are jealous and hateful, but they are very simple, and they are grateful for a small favor.
As for the rumor that "poor mountains and bad waters are full of people", it is only relative to some special places or special periods, right?
I remember when I was a child, the old man taught himself the three-character scripture, and the first sentence was the wise saying "the beginning of man, the nature is good". Even if all evil people have a good side, how can we highlight the good without evil? Evil is derived from good.
What is good? What is evil? It's hard to tell because everyone is different, and what the other person does may be a bad thing for you, but not necessarily a bad thing for others.
So sometimes, the ancient teachings and sages are still very reasonable, otherwise they would not have been passed down to this day.
To tell the truth, when I was wronged by the villagers and locked in a coffin for Xiaoling's burial, I really hated these villagers at that time, hated their ignorance and viciousness.
But after I got out of danger, I gradually began to let go, because it wasn't really resentment.
The real resentment is like Xiao Ling, who is angry after her death and wants to take revenge on everyone in the village...... Her resentment, her hatred should be difficult to resolve, right?
Otherwise, why did she kill Niu Erlang, who liked her?
Maybe the second master is right, ghosts and monsters are inhumane, and the farmer saves the snake, and the snake may not know gratitude......
We were all relieved to see that the villagers had been safely moved to the dirt slope, and although the crisis had not yet been resolved, at least we had bought time.
Standing on the dirt slope, watching the dark water flood the house, I was terrified in my heart, turned my head to look at the second master, and said in a low voice: "Is this really what Xiaoling did after death?" How could she, a person who had just died, be so powerful? It's even more terrifying than a walking Jiao! I'm afraid that even the Daomen Heavenly Master doesn't have such an ability, right? ”
"I don't believe she's so powerful!" Yan Xiaoying nodded in agreement.
At the beginning, I had encountered the legendary green haired zombie in the secret realm of Heaven, and that thing was indeed powerful, but in the end, it was killed by the joint efforts of the paper-binding craftsman and the white old man of the Daomen.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Ling after the corpse transformation is definitely much more powerful than the green-haired stiff.
"There are many kinds of corpses, like the white-haired zombies and green zombies I told you before, including the corpses of Li Guofeng, they are all corpses, which are a kind of mutation of the corpse after death; But Xiaoling is different from them, because she is a ghost and turned into a water fish. ”
"Is there any difference between a zombie and a ghost?" I asked curiously.
"Naturally, it's different."
The second master explained: "The zombie is just a mutated corpse, and in addition to the mutation of the corpse, even the soul of the zombie will also mutate. Generally speaking, after a person dies, the soul will be taken down by the soul seducer, but the soul of some people who died unjustly cannot be taken away by the soul seducer for special reasons, and the soul is attached to the corpse, and the corpse mutates and becomes a living dead-like existence. The difference between the two is that the zombie is not dominated by ghosts, while the zombie does, so the zombie is much more powerful than the zombie. ”
"At the beginning, Xiao Yan, you told me that the ghost boy's mother is also a kind of ghost zombie, and after the death of Li Guofeng, his soul was hooked away, even if the corpse is mutated and the evil spirit is monstrous, it is just a walking corpse, so the demon sword can easily behead him."
Listening to the second master's explanation, I suddenly realized that the corpse transformation is still so exquisite, and it is really a long experience.
"However, what you two said also makes sense, even if Xiaoling really turns into a water fish, she shouldn't have such a great ability to flood the village overnight, where did this water come from?"
"You have also seen the waterfall that flows down from the mountain, there is not such a large amount of water, and the heavy rain in one night is not enough to flood the village, since it is impossible in the mountains and in the sky, then ......"
"I see, it's an underground river!" I patted my head and suddenly realized.
"Underground River?" The second master looked at me suspiciously.
"Can't be wrong, there must be an underground dark river with a very large flow of water under this area, we couldn't find Xiaoling's body before, she may be hiding under the dark river."
"After Xiao Ling became a water fish, it should not be difficult to cut off a dark river and block it, so that the dark river gushes out of the ground. The water of the dark river is very cold, and its source may have been formed by the melting of the glaciers in the west, which is why the river water is so cold, especially the lantern pool we went down to last night! ”
"Is it the pool? There's a dark river underneath it? ”
Several people glanced at each other, and the second master frowned and said, "Let's go, let's go to the back of the village to see what is going on!" ”
At that moment, Yan Xiaoying, Liu Xiaojiao and the second master and I braved the rain to go around the dirt slope and headed towards the lantern pond. Behind the dirt slope is a low mountain range, which connects with the Erlong mountain range behind the village, but it has not been flooded.
Soon we approached the waterfall, forty or fifty meters away, and could not go any further, for the lantern pond had now turned into a huge lake of water.
Looking down from the heights, I saw that there was a monstrous stream of water gushing out from the bottom of the lantern pool, forming a huge columnar splash of water almost five or six meters high from the surface of the water.
The roaring sound of the impact of the water, like the battle of thousands of troops and horses, is shocking.
"Sure enough, I will say where this flood came from, it came out of the ground."
The second master sighed and said: "The monstrous ghost is not terrible, I'm afraid it still has wisdom and strategy, now, my village may not be able to protect it!" ”
"The feng shui pattern of ambergris is indeed a fierce place for two dragons to fight! Dragons can't live without water, and I should have thought of it a long time ago......"
"This disaster will come sooner or later, Xiaoling, she is just a contract that caused the disaster in advance, hehe!" The second master smiled bitterly and sat on the ground, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.
"Second master, I don't know much about the feng shui pattern, for me this is just a natural disaster, you old man don't have to be too discouraged, the village can be rebuilt if there is no more, the most important thing is that the people are fine!"
Liu Xiaojiao persuaded the second master on the side and said: "Let's go back, I think that although the water is turbulent, it should not be able to submerge on the soil slope, and the flood will recede sooner or later!" ”
The second master shook his head: "Baby, you think about this matter too simply, if it's just an ordinary natural disaster, how can we have no way to contact the outside?" She wants revenge, it is impossible to let us go so easily, hiding on the dirt slope is not a way at all, and in the end we all have to die at her hands! ”
"Why? There are so many innocent people in the village, and there is only one murderer who killed her, so why should she take revenge on the whole village? Liu Xiaojiao was puzzled.
"The water is merciless, the flood flooding the village is the best proof of this, she is going to kill everyone in the village, and now we are surrounded by her!"
I saw that the second master was in a trance and was not in a state, so I hurriedly glanced at Liu Xiaojiao and asked her to take the second master back to the dirt slope to rest first. lest he get sick in the rain, if he has any three long and two short, it will be difficult to deal with Xiao Ling, who has become a water fish.
Liu Xiaojiao nodded, and rarely did not lift the bar with me, and helped the second master to return to the dirt slope.
Looking at the backs of the two, I sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that this incident is not a light blow to the second master!" ”
"People are not sages, they all have feelings, even the mage who is used to seeing life and death is no exception, in the final analysis, he is just an old man in his last years!"
Indeed, with great power comes great responsibility, and sometimes this responsibility is as heavy as a mountain to crush a person to death. So I'd rather leave nothing alone and live happily...... It's just that people are born with responsibilities, how can they be themselves? ”
Yan Xiaoying rolled her eyes at me and said with a smile: "Talking in a sour manner, this is not like the Lao Tianyan I know, are you afraid?" ”
"No, but I feel it!" I shook my head and said, "Let's go back too, I didn't have a good rest last night, and I can't support it anymore." ”
Yan Xiaoying nodded, and just as the two of us were about to turn back, Yan Xiaoying, who had taken two steps, suddenly stopped and said to me with a strange expression: "Tianyan, listen carefully, there seem to be other sounds in the violent sound of the flood......
