Chapter 86: The Crisis in the Sandy River

Xu Yi and Steele were stunned at the same time, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

Xu Yi was extremely annoyed in his heart, the atmosphere between him and Steele was so good just now, and he could complete a passionate deep kiss in the early morning, but he was disturbed by this guy.

And this guy scolds who is not good, he is actually scolding himself by name, how can this be endured?

Xu Yi let go of Steele, frowned and walked in the direction where the voice came from.

He wanted to see which guy was so short-sighted.

I only took two steps, but suddenly I heard another "pop" sound from that direction, as if something heavy had fallen into the water.

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at Steele, who was also stunned, and shouted "Oops" at the same time, he couldn't care so much anymore, added a wind control technique to himself, and flew directly to the river.

The two of them flew to the surface of the river in an instant, and when they looked down, they found that on the wide Sandy River, a figure was floating on the river surface with the flowing river water.

While floating, the man was still shouting for help.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn't help but be a little angry and funny.

Sure enough, the guys who committed suicide were all impulsive, and when they really wanted to face death, they would still regret it.

Xu Yi sighed, shook his head, flew down, pulled the collar on the man's back with one hand, and directly lifted him out of the river.

Carrying this man to the river and putting him down, the man rolled on the ground and vomited several mouthfuls of river water, and then he was relieved.

When he finally stopped breathing, he raised his head and saw Xu Yi and Steele in front of him, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you two for saving your life." Where do you live? What is your name? I've made a special trip to thank you. ”

Xu Yi looked this person up and down, and found that although this person looked a little wolf because of his immersion in the river. But judging from the clothes on his body, he shouldn't be from a poor family. And his speech and demeanor are very decent, no matter how he looks, he does not look like a person who committed suicide by throwing himself into a river because of poverty.

Thinking of the way this guy scolded himself so bitterly before jumping into the river just now, Xu Yi asked a little funny: "You were still scolding me so happily just now, but now you can't recognize me? Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, you can't even recognize Steele, right?"

Steele didn't have time to respond to Xu Yi's praise for her, but squatted down, looked directly at the man, and asked coldly, "Why did you scold Xu Yi?

The man looked at Steele in amazement, and then looked up at Xu Yi. Just now, because the two of them were facing away from the rising sun, he really didn't recognize them in the backlight, but now when he took a closer look from a different angle, he instantly recognized the two of them.

Xu Yi is not wrong at all, as a person from Bangta City, it is reasonable to not recognize Xu Yi, but if he can't even recognize Steele, it is simply impossible.

However, after recognizing the two, the man seemed to be frightened by something. With his hands on the ground, he fell backwards several meters on the ground.

Just as Xu Yi and Steele looked puzzled and wanted to continue asking, he suddenly jumped up from the ground. Pointing at Xu Yi, he shouted: "Xu Yi, you are Xu Yi, you bastard, give me back my fleet!"

Xu Yi was even more inexplicable, looking at the person who was obviously angry, but seemed to dare not approach him because of fear. I couldn't help but say, "Hey, I don't even know who you are." Besides, I don't know what fleet you have, so what do you want me to pay?"

Steele frowned and looked at the man for a moment. Suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I remember, you seem to be the president of the Potter Chamber of Commerce, called ...... What's Potter's name?"

"Smira Potter. The man didn't seem to expect Steele to recognize him, and after being stunned for a moment, the angry expression on his face faded, and he smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I would become like this, and Miss Steele would still recognize me." That's right, I'm the president of the Potter Chamber of Commerce, but the Potter Chamber of Commerce is ...... now But it's gone. ”

Xu Yi gave Steele a look and motioned for her to negotiate with this Smilla Potter first.

Steele nodded knowingly, thought for a moment, and continued to ask Smilla Potter, "President Potter, I remember the last time I met you at a banquet hosted by the Salac Chamber of Commerce. If I'm not mistaken, your Porter Chamber of Commerce is primarily in the business of river transport, right?"

"Miss Steele has an amazing memory. Smira Potter gave a thumbs up. "That's right, our Potter Chamber of Commerce is indeed mainly engaged in river transportation. But now ......" At this, Smira Potter glanced at Xu Yi, his face full of hatred. “...... But because of President Xu, our chamber of commerce was forced to close its doors with almost no business. My beloved fleet has also been sold, and it has now been dismantled into planks. ”

Xu Yi frowned, and couldn't help asking, "President Potter, your Chamber of Commerce was forced to close its doors if it couldn't receive business, what does this have to do with me?"

"Why doesn't it matter!" When answering Steele's question, this Smira Potter was still able to remain calm, but as soon as he heard Xu Yi speak, he immediately became irritable and replied loudly: "If it weren't for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a damn highway, if it weren't for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to control the upper reaches of the Sandy River even more damn, how could our Chamber of Commerce not be able to receive business? How could it be closed? This qiē is all because of you! You dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

Xu Yi was still very puzzled: "I still don't understand, is there any relationship between building a highway and controlling the upper reaches of the Sandy River, and whether your Porter Chamber of Commerce can get business?"

Smira Potter glared at Xu Yi fiercely, and seemed to realize that he couldn't communicate well with Xu Yi like this, so he took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself.

"Don't you think it's okay, President Xu?" Smira Potter sneered. "I tell you, it's a big deal! Before you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce didn't build that damn road, both goods and people would have to travel much faster from the river than from land, and they could be transported more at a time. So before that, half of the goods in Bonta City could be said to have been transported by our Porter Chamber of Commerce through the Guò Sandy River. But after the damn highway was built, everyone found out. It can run faster on land than in the river, and it can also be transported directly to the place. There is no need to spin up and down on the boat. In this way, of course, there are fewer and fewer people who choose our chamber of commerce for river transportation. ”

"That's not right, right. River transportation can transport large quantities of goods, which cannot be replaced by the current land transportation in any way. Xu Yi asked strangely.

"Bulk?" said Smilla Potter sneered again. "Have you forgotten the other reason I just mentioned?"

"What does it matter to govern the upper reaches of the Sandy River?"

"Of course it does. Smilla Potter pointed to the turbulent Sandy River next to it: "You Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has managed the upper reaches of the Sandy River northwest of the Rainfall Forest, and now the Sandy River has indeed restored its previous course, but the sediment of the Sandy River has not been deposited in the upstream Sandy Forest, but has been washed away by the river near Bonta City. If you look at the river, don't you notice that it's a lot mudter than last year?"

Xu Yi and Steele looked at the Sandy River next to them at the same time, Xu Yi hadn't noticed anything wrong, but Steele nodded and said, "Hmm...... You don't say I haven't found out yet. Compared to when I was a child, the river doesn't seem to be as clean now. ”

Smilla Potter let out a loud laugh: "Huh. President Hee, do you see the problem now? Now the sediment from the upper reaches of the Sandy River has been washed up near Bonta City, and it's not just muddying the river. I have been running on this river for decades and am very familiar with these things. I'm sure it won't be long before the river will rise due to sediment, and all it takes is a rainstorm to come down and you'll have to wait to see the flood. I heard that last time you were going to do something on both sides of the river. I want to make the banks of the Sandy River a garden-like environment. The flood is coming, and it would be nice if this place didn't become a cemetery!"

Xu Yi was silent for a moment, walked to the river, and stretched out a hand. The magic energy in the body flowed, and a stream of water immediately flew on the riverside, and then gathered into a water mass in the air.

Xu Yi and Steele looked up at the huge water mass with a diameter of two meters. It was found that the color of the water mass was indeed very turbid, and the bottom of the water mass stopped flowing because Xu Yikong was holding the water in the water mass. And naturally, a layer of sediment was deposited.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Although Smira Porter was a bit alarmist. But now judging from the water situation of the Sandy River, this is indeed a very important thing.

The level of science and technology on the Sainz continent is not high, and the level of water conservancy projects is of course not going anywhere, and no matter where a flood occurs in the past, it will eventually lead to very strict consequences.

The Sandy River had never flooded before, so no one in Bonta had thought about it, but now that it looked at it, it was a problem that needed to be solved.

Xu Yi turned his head to look at Smilla Potter, nodded to him, and said, "Thank you." ”

Smira Potter was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would speak so badly to Xu Yi, and Xu Yi would thank him so sincerely.

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for noticing the change in Sandy River and for telling me about this possible situation. Xu Yi replied. "Although this is not entirely the responsibility of me and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, since it is related to me, then I have to take this responsibility. So I want to thank you, if it weren't for you bringing this problem to my attention, I'm afraid that by the time the real problem arises, it will be too late. ”

Looking at Xu Yi's sincere and serious expression, the expression on Smira Potter's face changed rapidly, and after a while, he became depressed, waved his hand, and sighed: "Forget it, our Chamber of Commerce was forced to close its doors if it couldn't receive business, and this is also my own ability, so I can't blame you." It's not right for me to scold you just now, please don't take it to heart. ”

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "This is a trivial matter. But what are you going to do in the future, President Potter?"

"Me?" said Smira Potter with a wry smile. "The fleet is gone, the Chamber of Commerce is closed, what else can I do? Now I don't even have the courage to commit suicide, so I'll just find a job and wait until I die. ”

"Not necessarily. Xu Yi had a confident smile on his face. "President Potter, if you believe me, I have a job to do that would be perfect for you. And I can guarantee that it will not be long before river transportation will be valued by all. When that time comes, I can help you recreate a whole new fleet. You...... Will you believe me?"
