Chapter 142: Stormy Storm
On the sixth day of July, torrential rain poured.
It was originally noon, but the sky was like ink, and the wind swept away, like the end of the world!
The powerful man was also unable to stand firm in the wind, and pebbles the size of beans could be rolled up and smashed like bullets at all people or objects standing in the wind!
In recent years, the climate in Dayan has been abnormal, and the drought that lasted from the second half of last year to the early summer of this year has displaced many people and starved to death in Daozuo, which has triggered the largest Koubian of the barbarians.
Now, there is another flood, and the people of Dayan Kingdom are really full of disasters and difficulties!
The embankment of the Liuhe River has been fully repaired, but some sections of the river have not yet completely completed the hardening process, and it is not known whether they can withstand the upcoming natural disasters.
On the construction site that has not yet ended, everyone is busy moving materials, especially the cement that has not yet had time to use.
Dealing with cement for so long, everyone knows that once this thing gets wet, it will clump and harden, and it can only be discarded in the end, which is really a waste!
But even after forty or fifty days of joint labor, once faced with such a sudden natural disaster, most people still can't avoid making a mess, and more than half of the remaining cement on the construction site is wet by the showers after the strong wind, and it seems that it will not be done.
The howling wind seemed to whip everything in the world, and the raindrops the size of beans added to the power of the wind!
The dark sky was suddenly illuminated, and a silver-white lightning bolt was like a winding dragon, connecting the heavens and the earth, and then a terrifying loud sound reached everyone's ears!
In front of Tianwei, the mountain god that Zhao Hengyi had created before played the drum, which was like a joke.
The rain curtain quickly filled everyone's field of vision, and under the action of the strong wind, the rain curtain slipped obliquely on the ground, and in just a moment, the whole world seemed to turn into an ocean!
As the rain intensified and the wind slowed down slightly, it was a terrifying scene that many people had never seen in their lifetimes.
In the ruined temple, regardless of identity, they were all terrified in front of the great power of heaven and earth.
Many people trembled, and some people folded their hands and read words.
At this time, it is impossible to leave this ruined temple that serves as a flood control headquarters, and this place has now become the most dangerous place in the entire Dangyang County!
Not far from the broken temple, is the sharp bend that is most likely to collapse and collapse, once the newly built river embankment can not withstand it, then more than eighty percent of the officials and large households in the entire Dangyang County will be buried in the flood!
As for the original earthen embankment, no one would think that such an embankment would be able to withstand the Liuhe River, where the water level soared next!
Standing under the eaves of the house, Liu Rui, the county magistrate who had been inspecting the river embankment for nearly fifty days, looked miserable.
The rain whipped up by the wind slapped on Liu County's body, and he didn't notice it.
Liu Rui was worried that the continuous rain would cause the water level of the Liuhe River to rise, which would cause the embankment to burst, so he tried his best to rebuild the embankment.
In this matter, there is public and private.
Gong, as the county commander and herdsman, built the river embankment to prevent the people under his rule from being buried in the flood and displaced.
Private, it is the official voice and future.
There is nothing that can't be said about this, even if it is placed above the court, Liu Rui will not deny his selfishness.
Zhao Hengyi, a man from Cangwu County, took the initiative to donate the formula of cement, giving Liu Rui a huge surprise, allowing him to complete a feat that he had never imagined before - to build a stone embankment for Dangyang County!
At this time, if there is no rainstorm, the river of Liuhe will not skyrocket, which really does not reflect the foresight and merit of Liu Rui, the county order!
However, when the rainstorm really came, Liu Rui found that he couldn't be happy!
The power of heaven and earth is terrifying!
On the Yangjiawa side, the embankment has just been repaired for only eight days, and the concrete has not yet solidified to the strongest level, will there be problems there?
Due to the difficulty of quarrying, a large amount of gravel was used in pouring the stone embankment in Liutang Village, will the newly built embankment not be too strong?
If there is a section of the river that bursts......
Liu Rui's face was cloudy, but at this time he couldn't do anything, he could only silently stare at the long river embankment in his sight.
"Don't worry about the prefectural order."
Zhao Hengyi, who was also in the broken temple, took the initiative to convince him, "You must have confidence in cement, Zhao once sent someone to test, and a strong man with strength holding a hammer cannot completely smash the stone wall made of cement!" ”
"Really?"
Liu Rui fell into a state of uneasy state of mind at this time, and any spiritual support was extremely important.
"Naturally, it's true, there is a stone wall in the courtyard, although it is thinner, Lord Liu can still send someone to try to smash it with a hammer."
Zhao Hengyi was full of confidence, "Lord Liu, all the river sections have been completed, and there are only some tinkering left, even if the water of the Liuhe River soars, it should not be a big problem." ”
In fact, Zhao Hengyi is secretly changing concepts.
If there is no such strong wind, but the water level of the Liuhe River rises due to continuous rain as a few days ago, the newly built cement stone embankment is really not afraid!
But with the blessing of this strong wind, as well as the rain that flows into the Liuhe River in the upper reaches because of the torrential rain, it will definitely form a terrifying scene like stormy waves!
That is the real test of the newly built cement stone embankment, and even Zhao Hengyi himself has no bottom in his heart.
But in this situation, Zhao Hengyi can only say some optimistic words, the heavy rain and strong wind, there is no one standing on the river embankment, even if he wants to reinforce, he can't do it.
However, Zhao Hengyi is still very confident in the sharp bend in front of the broken temple, which is a new river embankment built by Yushuwan itself, and on the basis of Liu County's planning, a variety of reinforcements have been carried out, even if the river section of the county is washed away, this sharp bend will not be a problem.
This is also the reason why Zhao Hengyi dared to accompany Liu Rui and a group of officials and big families to stay in the flood control headquarters, because he understood that this place was the safest.
It rained for a whole day, and the next morning the wind was much lighter, and the rain was not as dense as the first day, but it was still pouring down.
There was standing water everywhere, ponds and ravines with full water levels, but after all, you could go up the embankment.
Liu Rui and a group of people almost rushed to the embankment, and the inconspicuous Liuhe River in the past actually gave people a feeling of might!
The situation is more dangerous than expected!
The terrain of Dangyang County is not high, and the rainwater from several counties upstream is collected in the Liuhe River, and the further downstream, the greater the flood pressure will naturally become.
Liu Rui and his gang had expected this, but they could not say that they were disappointed or not disappointed.
But they missed a point, there are lakes in the counties around the upstream.
The turbid river water is constantly surging, and everyone who has just stepped on the river embankment sees a strange scene, a huge pavilion washed down from the upstream, and the pavilion with exquisite materials only exposes a top, and the plaque on the pavilion - Wanshan Viewing Pavilion!
The pavilion was known to all the people who patrolled the embankment, and it was originally standing next to the lake upstream...... His mother!
The lake is flooded!
