Chapter 182: Spring Flood
"It's not bad for you to say that, but it's not just these places that can be planted, as long as the vines that the beast doesn't die and grow, then the area we can plant will be larger and larger, and in the end, you will find that what you lack is not food, but the land where you can plant these vine seedlings" Ruya led Isidore up to the city wall, looking at the beast that was almost unable to see the end of the road, and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Ruya, are you sure you can succeed" Isidore took a deep breath, he had already seen that the first vine seedlings had basically taken root alive, but he was still not sure if these seedlings would bear beasts, because if it was really successful, then...
"I believe I can make it," Ruya looked at with determination.
"But, but," Isidore muttered.
"But what, don't you think I'm a little stupid to tell you all this" Ruya said with a smile, and Isidor didn't answer, but from the look in his eyes was an affirmative answer.
"Hehe, Isido, you are a little underestimated by me, I have heard a saying, it is called a gentleman who does something but does something, just like I sell those equipment to your tribe but do not give you technology, everything is considered in different ways, and the situation is different, some can be shared with others and some cannot be shared with others. ”
"If I tell you about this smelting technique, with the chaotic management of your big tribe, I believe it won't be long before the human race will learn all the techniques, and you will know the consequences without me saying it, it will only increase the killing and hatred on the continent. And if you learn the cultivation of these beasts that I am doing now, it will only make you have a good harvest, so that ordinary orcs will no longer worry about food, not only you, I am also ready to promote this method of cultivating beasts as much as possible within my ability."
"I don't ask others to treat me as a benefactor, but I ask myself to have a clear conscience"
Isidor looked at Rua, who was closing his eyes and feeling the spring breeze, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to know this very young-looking half-blood patriarch better than he knew.
Isidor stayed in Black Rock City for more than ten days before leaving here to go to the market, his station was originally located in the market, the main reason why he stayed here for so long was that he had completely mastered the cultivation technology of beast care, and now he had completely mastered all the details of this and left, but due to the distance between the market and Black Rock City, it was easy for both sides to meet each other.
In the past few days, the cultivation of beast ignoring has reached a bottleneck, and the vine seedling planting work that has lasted for almost a month has to come to an end because the planting site is too far away and lacks effective protection, which is also a matter of no way, there are so many people in the entire Blackstone tribe, and only a small area around it can be taken care of, but even so, all the clansmen look at the endless green beast ignoring Ye around Blackstone City, and their hearts are extremely satisfied.
"Uncle Berry, do you feel as if the past two days have been a little colder again," Ruya, who had risen early and went for a morning run with the soldiers, said to Berry, who was following him.
"Well, there are a few days every year that pass quickly," Berry explained.
"Yes," Lu Ya pursed his lips and continued to run.
At breakfast, Xiao Qi found Lu Ya, "Xiao Qi eats, let's eat some together" Seeing Xiao Qi coming, Lu Ya also grinned, now Xiao Qi is almost the acting city lord of Black Rock City, basically all the chores in Black Rock City Lu Ya have arranged for her, and Lu Ya himself is fine every day, so Lu Ya is a little embarrassed every time he sees Xiao Qi.
"I've eaten the patriarch, I'm here to report to you about the rising river in the past two days," Xiao Qi said seriously.
"Well, I see, huh? what is the river rising?" said Lu Ya to his feet.
"Uh..." I'm sorry" Lu Ya found Xiao Qi who was scared by herself, and quickly apologized.
"When did you find out, go, go and see first" Lu Ya didn't care about eating, pulled up Xiao Qi and walked out, ten minutes later, Lu Ya and Xiao Qi jumped down from the jeep, and quickly came to the bank of the nameless river dozens of meters wide, and found that Lu Ya's brows were furrowed tightly when he found that the water surface was almost flush with the ground.
The word 'spring flood' immediately flashed through Lu Ya's mind, but according to his feeling, the current Otherworld should have reached the end of April, and the spring flood usually occurs around March, so he was a little unsure.
"Go and call the old patriarch and Uncle Berry first."
After a while, Lu Ya finally got the exact news from the old patriarch and Bai Lifu, this time the rising water should be the spring flood, because according to the old patriarch at this time of year, the large and small rivers near the tribe will rise, and there will be many directly overflowing the riverbed to form water, but there is a piece of news that makes Lu Ya a little relieved, that is, there are generally few large-scale spring floods, and they are all small spring floods that last for more than ten days.
But no matter the size of the spring flood, there is one thing that is certain, the river in front of the Black Rock City will definitely overflow, if it was before, Lu Ya may still say that it doesn't matter, after all, the cement poured Black Stone City is unlikely to be afraid of the small spring flood, but the beasts around the Black Rock City are all over the place, but they can't stand the long-term invasion of the spring flood, and the habits of the beasts are almost the same as the sweet potatoes, and they are also very afraid of waterlogging, if these planted seedlings are soaked in the river for a few days, Lu Ya dares to 100% guarantee that there will never be one alive. Therefore, flood control has become the most important task at hand.
"Xiao Qi, you go and organize people to make cloth bags with all the women and children"
"Uncle Berry, send a team of men at once, and let them buy as much sackcloth as possible from the bazaar."
"In addition, all the young and non-duty soldiers will be notified to cooperate with the made sacks, and fill the surrounding area with sand to make sandbags."
"The manpower in the kiln mining area will also be transferred back as soon as possible, and all resources will be used in short."
"In any case, be sure to pile up the embankment before the river rises"
・・・・・・・・
The Black Rock City, which had just fallen silent, was running at full strength again, this time Lu Ya specially used up 3 third-order magic crystals and dozens of first-order magic crystals, and the entire 20 brand-new jeeps and nearly 100 barrels of gasoline were all handed over to Bai Lifu, and they set off in the morning, and the 20 jeeps rushed back to the tribe overnight that night, all the cars were full of sackcloth, and there were more sackcloth behind them that were pulled back with board cars.
After unloading the sackcloth, they continued to drive to meet the caravan of carts, and the unloaded linen was quickly distributed to the families, and the women and children all worked overnight after receiving the sackcloth.
The sacks were quickly sent out of Blackstone City to the team responsible for transporting the sand and gravel, and the sandbags were finally landed on the bank of the river early the next morning, and then a steady stream of sandbags came from the rear.
"Fortunately, our site is a terrain surrounded by hills on three sides, and we only need to block the front, if it is on the plain without shelter, I guess this time it must be a heavy loss," Rua and Bolifu on the embankment inspected the embankment together.
"Well, according to this progress, the Tianhe embankment can be piled up about one meter high, which should be enough," Bai Lifu said after reaching out and grabbing a sandbag pad twice.
"Two days, why is it so long?" asked Ruya.
"There are not enough burlap bags, and the next batch of burlap will not be back until at least midnight," Berry explained.
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Ruya whispered as he looked up at the gloomy sky.
"Boom~~~" As soon as Lu Ya's words fell, a long muffled thunder sounded, as if mocking Lu Ya, and a raindrop the size of a bean fell into Lu Ya's eyes.
The raindrops became heavier and denser, and after a while the rain began to fall heavily, and the water that had been hovering on the bank of the river rose rapidly.
"Hurry back and inform all the clansmen, don't feel sorry for things, tear off all the clothes on your body and make them into sacks, hurry up!" The noise of the heavy rain did not suppress Ruya's roar, and without saying a word, Berry immediately turned and left, and just two hours later, a new batch of special sacks sewn from clothes was piled up on the embankment, and at this time the river water had been hidden almost twenty centimeters from the riverbank.
"The rain has finally stopped, and if it rains again, there is no need for river water, and the rain alone can drown these seedlings," Berry wiped the rain from his face, and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the clouds that were gradually moving away.
"Hurry up and send someone to urge again, let the team pull the sackcloth try to go as fast as possible," Ruya sighed as he looked in the direction of the dark clouds.
"This height should be fine," Berry asked, turning to Luya's side after giving the order.
"It's enough now, but our terrain is a little low, and the dark clouds are drifting upstream just now, I estimate that it won't be long before there will be a wave of flood tides."
It turned out that Ruya's worries were definitely not superfluous, since the rain stopped at noon that day, the rise of the river not only did not lessen but became more and more violent, and it almost rose to the knee when the convoy carrying linen cloth returned, even if the terrain of Black Rock City was indeed a little low, but it further showed that this year's spring flood was indeed more violent than in previous years.
With the arrival of a new batch of linen cloth, the supply of sandbags finally kept up with the progress, on the morning of the third day of Lu Ya's flood control order, the several kilometers of sandbag embankment was finally completed ahead of schedule, and all the clansmen involved in the flood control also lay down on the spot, they had almost no rest in the past three days and had been fighting on the front line of flood control, looking at the short embankment of a few kilometers to tire these orcs who were known for their strength into this, Lu Ya was full of emotion in his heart, but in any case, the land of hope behind him was finally saved.
