[Book Lovers Building .org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Many of the people who were beating the gravel with Beiliuyun were a little tired, so Beiliuyun let them rest, and did not say some time urgency like the prince, or squeezed their last strength for their own lives.
Instead, he just accelerated the speed of hitting the boulder in his hand, which moved the hearts of these people.
In fact, after contact, I don't think that these Nine Highnesses are difficult to contact, but they talk a little less, and they look shy, not too enthusiastic, and not too aggressive.
The sky darkened a little, and some of the people who had rested began to work again, and the initial hesitation became firm with the insistence of this fairy-like man.
The sunset is falling little by little, the orange-red halo will envelop the group, and the stubborn stone in the middle is like a jade jumping down from the sky, under the shadow of the sunset, dyed with a bright red light, like the most precious gem.
People who have been sitting on the bank of the river can't help but look at the figure of continuous labor in the distance, perhaps because of their conscience, and because of their uneasiness.
Finally, Liu Laohan stood up before: "No, I have to go home and ask Cuihua to send them a whole meal, if they don't eat or drink, they will collapse." ”
As soon as Liu Laohan's words came out, another woman responded, and a swarthy strong man said: "Then I'll go and bring them a few buckets of plum soup, so that they can cool off." ”
A few more people joined Beiliuyun's camp, and I don't know what the reason is, but they are inexplicably driven to do so.
Gradually, there were more people, and although there were still a few people willing to dig gravel compared to the thousands of people sitting by the riverbank, the progress was much faster anyway.
It didn't take long for many people to bring food to Beiliuyun, Beiliuyun took it silently, squatted aside, and ate it.
The people who had worked for most of the day before were also replaced, and those who had rushed over from the bank of the river took their place, and the attentive girl brought a few lanterns from nowhere, and covered one part of the boulder extremely brightly, so that everyone could see it clearly, so that there would be no accidental injury.
As the days passed, there were still not many people digging gravel, and the people who were originally on the shore always looked at the situation here, from the initial sitting and watching, to the later standing aside, and no more people joined the camp.
After a few days of contact, everyone also had a new understanding of Beiliuyun, and they couldn't connect this beautiful man, who was even a little silent and shy, with the eunuch lackey who everyone scolded him.
In his actions, it is not difficult to see that his killing is ruthless, and the raising of his eyebrows makes people's hearts chill, but in their opinion, this is the attitude that those who are in high positions should have, looking at the appearance of the officials in Linghe County, they know that although His Royal Highness Nine is more generous, he does not overwhelm the people.
After three or four days, the boulder had become smaller, and once the gravel had been chiseled was carried to the distant hill.
Beiliuyun looked at the small boulder left in front of him and said: "Everyone work hard, the boulder can be completely removed before it gets dark today, and the tunnel will be completely opened, and this is everyone's entrance." ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but work harder, and they couldn't help but get excited when they saw that the construction was about to be completed.
In fact, it didn't take a few days to dig this boulder, but even so, because of a fluke psychology and inertia of human nature, more people chose to stand aside and watch, rather than reaching out to help.
Beiliuyun held the handle of a shovel in both hands, stood aside, squinting at the sun above the mountains in the distance.
Things were really as good as he expected, because of his previous reputation and Beiliuye's efforts in the past month, there were very few people willing to help, so he simply worked day and night, and this boulder was about to be removed.
According to Jiang Bushou's statement, the flood is just over the past two days, and I don't know what kind of disaster it will be then!
Beiliuye has always been stationed in the camp, but he has always sent people to listen to Beiliuyun's movements.
Thinking of what Bei Liuyun said before, there was a lot of shaking in the bottom of my heart, and because of this, my mood has been very irritable in the past few days.
sent someone to send news to my grandfather, and my grandfather also bought off a lot of Taoist monks who knew the heavens, but it was always difficult to find people who were as proficient in the heavens as Jiang Bushou, and they could all see that there had been a lot of natural disasters recently, and the night sky was dyed with blood, but no one could determine the date of the flood.
In addition, the prince has not been idle these days, and is still sending people to continuously strengthen the dam.
The sunset fell little by little, hanging on the mountain, dyeing the sky red, like a sword of the world, slashing between heaven and earth, opening up a magnificent red glow-filled road, dandelions flying all over the sky, as if building a ladder to the sky in the world.
The summer breeze swept the cicadas, the green leaves blown by the hot weather curled up, and most of the men were tanned, and drops of sweat fell on the soil, and they didn't know what kind of flowers would bloom.
There are more and more dragonflies in the sky, and children playing and frolicking on the side are jumping and chasing after them.
"Mother.. Lots of dragonflies. ”
"And a lot of dandelions... It's beautiful...."
Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the entire Linghe Linghe ushered in a beautiful scenery that had never been seen in history.
The river is clear, the sky is full of flowers, insects and birds are chirping, dragonflies are flying, and the land shrouded in orange and red, with a touch of drunkenness, people can't help but immerse themselves in this fairyland.
There was a gust of cold wind blowing on the Ling River, which made people want to close their breath and enjoy the tranquility at the moment, only to feel that the fairy in the sky was going down to earth to have such an extreme beauty.
'Bang! 'A loud bang pierces a person's eardrums!
The whole earth seemed to tremble, and the mountains in the distance seemed to shake as well.
A huge and strong water wave rolled from a distance, with the momentum of thunder, setting off a huge wave 100 meters high, and slapped down from a distance, making a huge roar.
The people were stunned for a moment, and then they didn't know who was the first to shout: "Oh no! The flood is coming! The flood is coming! ”
Beiliuyun stopped what he was doing, stood on a high place, and looked at it from a distance.
The monstrous flood was like a monstrous beast, stirring the sand and soil of the entire river belt, and slapping the dam violently with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops! All at once, the impact was violent, and the entire river bank began to tremble, and the dam began to hum!
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and people raised their uneasy hearts, and they were terrified, and they stood in place, and began to run in a panic, but they did not know where to go for a while.
Ling He, who had always been quiet, seemed to suddenly become angry, the gentle and quiet on weekdays was gone, and he turned into a devil with fangs exposed, and the cold river water exuded bursts of cold, bringing up a huge whirlpool, instantly dyeing the hot night with a touch of cold.
The water column is getting higher and higher, like the last nine days, and the flying flowers in the sky form a magnificent beauty.
Dandelions, flying all over the sky, flying gently, with this sunset dusk, as if playing a swan song in the world, a sad song of doom.
The cold wind blew away the summer heat, with a chill that reached the bone marrow, blowing people's thin clothes rattling among the huge waves, and the hair was mixed with splashing water waves, hitting the face, bringing infinite horror.
Beiliuyun frowned, it seems that the flood has occurred in advance!
Looking at the rising waves, Beiliuyun immediately made a decision, and said to the person who stopped moving: "Quick! Everyone hurry up, the flood is coming soon, be sure to move the boulders out of the way before the flood comes! ”
Everyone came back to their senses, panicked one by one, looking at Beiliuyun's firm gaze, there was an invisible force that temporarily suppressed the fear in their hearts, trembling and speeding up the movements in their hands, picking up the hammer, and chiseling the boulder.
Liu Laohan, who was standing on the side, also had red eyes, his thin body jumped down all of a sudden, and he picked up a hammer and began to chisel it regardless of it, and his two small and somewhat dry legs kept trembling.
Beiliuye was also alarmed by this loud noise, and when he strode out of the tent, he stood by the riverbank, his face pale.
The waves of 100 meters high were enough to swallow him alive, and the splashing river instantly drenched his whole body, cold and cold, with a bone-chilling cold that did not belong to this summer.
The flood water hit the dam all at once, and many people stood still and watched the dam's condition.
More people joined the ranks of digging boulders, and the few remaining boulders became smaller and smaller.
Beiliuye came back to his senses and organized everyone to retreat into the houses that had been connected before.
Many people seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and they spread their legs and ran to their place of refuge.
The people who were digging the boulder together couldn't help but stop their movements again, looking at the panicked and running people, all of them were shouting hoarsely and running to the safe place in their hearts, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.
Beiliuyun said sharply: "Quick! Speed up the action! The dam won't be able to withstand it for long! ”
These people, who had lost consciousness from fear, continued to dig boulders in a panic.
Beiliuyun looked at the people who ran to the houses in a panic, frowned, the ground next to the river has been deposited with sediment for a long time, and when the flood rushes, the room will fall, and these people who run to it will only be a dead end.
The scythe and the black axe put down their movements and stopped the man who had lost his mind.
But because of the large number of people, these people seemed to be crazy, and the sickle and the black axe were also pushed to the ground.
Beiliuyun didn't speak, his eyes were cold, now it seems that he can't stop these people at all, only by completely opening up the tunnel as soon as possible can more people hide in the tunnel.
Beiliuyun's gaze fell on the Ling River, and the hundred-year-old trees on the riverbank were uprooted, revealing their roots and whiskers, floating horizontally on the surface of the river, stirring up clusters of huge waves.
The water level is getting higher and higher, the dam is shaking, and a lot of the river has overflowed, and the surging rivers are filling the land, bubbling with yellow mud.
