Chapter 195: Breaking the Dam
The people who had been digging the boulder stopped their movements again, looked at the same place as Beiliuyun, swallowed and foamed, and looked at the fewer and fewer people, and the fear in their hearts gradually expanded.
Beiliuyun turned around, took everyone's thoughts in his eyes, and said sharply against the raging wind: "Quick, there is more time for half a cup of tea, and the tunnel will be opened!" ”
The words fell, and once again led everyone to start digging up the boulder.
'Bang! ’
There was another loud bang, and the surface of the reinforced dam had been broken by a lot of floodwater, and the bricks and tiles floating on the huge waves looked fragile and vulnerable.
Many people saw their achievements of more than a month, which were destroyed in an instant, and their hearts were half cold for a while, and they couldn't help but think of what Beiliuyun said before, once the surface layer was destroyed, I was afraid that this unstable foundation dam would soon be washed away.
Seeing that the tunnel would be opened, many people ran to the place where Beiliuyun was located, and they began to help.
Beiliuye also had a strong fear in his heart, and immediately turned around and walked towards the reinforced house along with many people, and before entering, he looked back at Beiliuyun, who was still beating with his head buried, clenched his fists, and walked in without looking back.
With a few loud bangs, the dam had begun to loosen, and the flood water poured in through many of the breaches, and the water on the ground could already sink into people's calves.
"The dam is not working... The dam is no longer working...", many people shouted with tears in their voices.
Some of the people who saw it too late ran to the camp of the North Leaf again.
The stone door was pounded violently: "His Royal Highness the Prince.. Help us.. Help us.. Open the door. ”
"Please, open the door... We built this stone gate together."
People's voices are full of fear, but also full of antiquity and urgency.
The eyes of the people in the room fell on Beiliuye, and Beiliuye said in a deep voice: "Once the stone gate is opened at this moment, the flood will sweep in, and all of us will die." ”
The people retracted their gazes, lowered their eyes, and looked at the ground, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, and the whole room was silent.
The people outside the door could never have imagined that the always kind prince would lock them out so resolutely! One by one, their eyes were dyed with despair, and they knocked on the stone door desperately, and some of them were full of anger, so they picked up the hammer and began to knock it.
"If you don't let Lao Tzu live, don't want to live if you dog prince!"
All at once, it hit everyone's heart hard.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Or... Let's let them in.." One of the civilians whispered.
"I can't risk your lives..."Beiliuye said in a deep voice, his wet hair dripping with water.
The room fell silent again, and the oppressive suffocation made people want to rush out of the door.
The people outside the door wept and wailed bitterly, and unwilling despair rose in their hearts.
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of a huge wave, the men in the distance shouted loudly: "It's opened!" The tunnel is opened!! ”
The boulder was completely removed, and a tunnel was completely opened. Comfort parrot
People hugged each other and cried with joy, Beiliuyun looked at the completely collapsed dam in the distance, frowned and said, "Quick! Everybody get inside! ”
The people threw down their tools, quickly bowed and walked in, and the people gathered around them also got in.
Beiliuyun and several officials always stood at the entrance of the cave to maintain.
The river on the ground was already reaching thighs, a few points taller than some of the smaller children, and the men put their dolls around their necks and walked around the water.
Beiliuyun calculated the time in his heart, according to the current situation, he could support two big waves at most, once he exceeded this time, he was afraid that there was only one dead end.
The people standing in front of the stone gate were still crying restlessly, but some people still saw the people hiding in the tunnels one by one.
"Look! The tunnel of the Ninth Highness has been opened! One of them exclaimed, and ran up in the water regardless of it, moving in the direction of the tunnel.
The panicked people seemed to see hope in an instant, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and scrambled to swim over.
At this moment, another huge wave slapped head-on, and a row of houses along the riverbank collapsed, bricks and mud mixed with the cold river water, turning into earthy yellow mud, and a large number of sand, gravel and wood branches became the minions of the river, flapping and sweeping in all directions, like thousands of troops crossing the border, wantonly trampling on life.
The sky was getting darker and darker, the sun had completely set over the mountain, the sky was black and gray, the sound of the waves seemed to be playing the sound of the darkness leading to hell, the air faintly let out a faint mournful sound, and the birds turned into black shadows, hovering restlessly in the sky above.
Most of the people beside the boulder have entered the tunnel, while the people running from the stone gate are walking between the two places, sitting and dying.
And many people have been swallowed up by the flood, and can only see half of their struggling bodies, and then gradually disappear without a trace.
On the surface of the water, several corpses gradually floated, and they were soaked white in a short time, making people dare not look at them directly.
The blood stains that flowed out of the flesh and skin were mixed with the river water, and the entire Ling River carried a thick bloody atmosphere.
An accompanying official said worriedly: "Your Highness the Nine, if you don't close the tunnel again, I'm afraid it's going to be too late!" You'd better get in there! ”
Beiliuyun ignored him, saw a ball of rope on the floating river, held the rope in his hand, and clenched his fingers.
Looking at the struggling people in the distance, he turned his head and handed one end of the rope to the black axe, wrapped the rope around his wrist, and swam over.
Many people stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at a sky-blue figure in the muddy mud, as if lighting up the night, silently moving forward, leaving ripples in the huge water waves.
Everyone was praying in their hearts, hoping that the flood would come later, later...
The dim mud rolled and submerged into his mouth from time to time, Beiliuyun's face was washed pale by the river, and the sand and gravel entered the clothes along the collar and cuffs, and the tight painful skin stuck together, and the occasional tree trunk flew sideways, hitting the body, and there were many more wounds.
Finally, Beiliuyun arrived at the place where everyone was and handed the rope into the hands of the man.
The nine-foot-tall man's eyes were sour, and he wanted to say something, but Bei Liuyun didn't wait for him to speak, and handed the rope to everyone.
In this way, the group clung to the rope and relied on the strength of the rope to prevent it from being swept away by the flood.
The black axe and the sickle stood in the water, exerting their strength, almost using their life's strength, and firmly grasping the rope in their hands.
Seeing this, the officials on the side and the few remaining people were also moved, and spontaneously helped to tighten the rope, the tunnel mechanism was opened again, and many people at the entrance of the cave also stood up one after another, with an incomprehensible perseverance.
The rope was swept by the waves in the river like a water snake, writhing its restless body frantically, people were getting closer and closer, the dawn of victory was just around the corner, and everyone was excited.
Among the people who crossed the river with the rope, there was a delicate man, and a lovely girl sat around her neck, with two pigtails and a pair of big black eyes, quietly watching everything around.
Just as everyone was about to reach the entrance of the cave, another huge wave came crazy again!
The mountains trembled, and the birds frightened.
The entire dam collapsed completely, and all the flood beasts seemed to be unrestrained, surging, playing to their heart's content, splashing all kinds of waves, creating countless whirlpools, wielding the scythe of death, and mercilessly harvesting human lives.
A sharp stone hit the delicate man's leg hard, the man stumbled, and instantly fell to his knees, and the girl on his shoulder was thrown out at once!
In an instant when everyone saw her, the girl disappeared into the whirlpool.
The man exclaimed, "Duo'er! ”
If you let go of the rope, you have to chase it, but a large piece of skin and flesh fell from your partial leg and you can't move at all.
The huge whirlpool swirled, and the man who loosened the rope was about to be swept into the whirlpool, and the choking river water sank into the man's mouth little by little, and the man in front grabbed his arm tightly and lifted him up: "Hold on!" ”
The man's face was dripping with droplets, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or river water.
"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Ninth has already gone to find it!" The stout man opened his mouth to comfort, and unconsciously, everyone had an inexplicable belief in Beiliuyun.
What you do is always more powerful than the most inspiring words.
People stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the river without the slightest figure, and their eyes were sour.
"I was the one who harmed His Highness the Nine... I hurt His Highness the Nine..."The delicate man gave himself a slap in the face.
Many people's eyes flushed: "Don't talk nonsense, if a person dies, the corpse will always float up, and besides, His Royal Highness the Ninth is so good, he will definitely have his own natural appearance!" ”
"It's all because we don't want to believe His Highness the Nine, if a few more people help His Highness the Nine to dig this boulder, maybe the situation won't be so dangerous..."
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and Cang Yao said: "Everyone go in first, otherwise His Royal Highness Nine will come back, and so many people will stay here, which will only delay time." ”
When the people heard this, they touched the mechanism and walked into the tunnel again.
Black Axe and Cang Sickle stubbornly waited outside the door, believing that nothing would happen to Beiliuyun.
The black axe said angrily: "I don't understand! Why do these nerds have to eradicate this boulder! Just avoid the boulders and dig a tunnel from the front! Why delay for so long! ”
Cang Yao knew the mood of the black axe, but explained in a deep voice: "The tunnel is already dug underground, if you are not careful, it will collapse, not to mention that it has to withstand such a fierce flood, and the route is the master and several ministers have painstakingly studied for a long time, if it is changed at will, the tunnel collapses, it will only be useless." ”
"A bunch of garbage, you can't do anything like this! If something happens to the master, I will definitely ask these nerds to go to the master's funeral! The black axe didn't pay attention to Cang Yao's explanation, and carried a giant axe on his shoulder, between heaven and earth, like Pangu, opening the heavens and the earth.
The moment the delicate man fell, Beiliuyun was shocked to realize that the girl had been thrown out.
Jumping up, he grabbed the girl tightly and left.
