Chapter 294: Answer
On a July day, even if it rained non-stop, it couldn't be cold, but the hand holding him was frighteningly cold.
He Qingxiao's heart tightened: "What's wrong?" β
"The flood is coming, tell everyone to evacuate quickly!" Xin Yu suppressed her horror and said calmly.
Her words were groundless, but she wasn't worried that the man she was pulling would question them. This is the trust that naturally arises from their long-term relationship.
Sure enough, He Qingxiao heard this and immediately ordered: "Organize the villagers to evacuate!" β
Zhao Zhixian didn't react: "Didn't the people from Xiahe Village transfer to Shanghe Village?" β
"Shanghe Village will soon be flooded. Zhao Zhixian, don't waste time, let everyone evacuate! The situation is urgent, and Xin Yu can only say the consequences directly.
"Floods? Where did the flood come from? "Many villagers looked around and thought it was strange.
Zhao Zhixian was only saved by Xin Yu, even if her words sounded outrageous, she thought about it seriously.
Could it be that this section of the White River will burst the embankment?
But these days, he arranged for people to go to inspect every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and the feedback is still good until today.
Besides, even if there is a possibility of the embankment breaking, how did Xin Gongzi know?
"Zhao Zhixian, He knows that you have doubts. But it's about the safety of the people in the two villages, so it's better to believe it, right? He Qingxiao knew very well that if he wanted to transfer these villagers smoothly in a short period of time, Zhao Zhixian must come forward.
Zhao Zhixian's heart sank.
Lord He's words are good, there are so many lives at stake, it is better to believe it than to believe it. The dignified Jinlin Wei Zhenfu envoy all thought so, as a parent official in this place, why did he hesitate?
In the end, nothing happened, and it was a big deal to be scolded by the people behind their backs.
After Zhao Zhixian made a decision, he immediately arranged it.
The rapid sound of the gong sounded, and the villagers who had been staying in the house also came out one after another. When they heard that they were going to be evacuated, many villagers did not want to leave.
"There are so many things at home, what should I do if I lose them?"
"That's right, if you don't live at home, where are you going?"
Most of the villagers in Shanghe Village said this, and the chief of Shanghe Village roared with a tiger face: "Didn't you listen to the county master, the flood is coming!" β
"It wasn't the county lord who said it, it was the little boy who said it. How can such a statement be taken seriously? Many people retorted in whispers.
The villagers who came out just now asked, "Which little boy is you?" β
"Well, it's the one in the white robe next to the county lord."
"Ah, I'm still a child, how can I take what I say seriously."
"That's it!"
The chief of Shanghe Village was so angry that he scolded: "If anyone doesn't leave, they won't be allowed to borrow ploughing cattle in the spring of next year!" β
Despite reluctance, most of the villagers were evacuated under the organization of the officials. The remainder are a small number, but there are dozens of them.
"You're really not leaving?" The lieutenant asked with a dark face.
"Lieutenant Chief, you can take everyone with the county master, and we will stay and watch the house." The man who said this grinned.
"Whatever you want." The lieutenant didn't want to say anything.
He actually didn't believe that Xin Gongzi's words, but he was just giving face to the county master. The county lord just saw that he did his best, and he didn't have to toss back to the village when he turned back.
The people of Xiahe Village also thought so, but they were originally here to run, and the county lord said that there was a place to settle in the city, so it was okay to go to the city, which was the trouble point.
"My lord, there are still dozens of villagers who are dead or alive." Huang Cheng came to report.
He Qingxiao glanced at Xin Yu.
Xin Yu pursed her lips slightly and did not speak.
For the special abilities she possesses, she has always done her best and then respected the fate of others.
What should be said has been said, what should be persuaded has been persuaded, and if it cannot be persuaded, it can only be said that it is destined to be so.
He Qingxiao thought that her silence was worry, and ordered in a cold voice: "Tell them that those who don't leave will be put in prison." β
At this time, there is no delay, and if you want these people to follow honestly, the means must be tough.
Jin Linwei is too skilled in doing this.
Huang Cheng pulled the knife out, and said coldly with an expressionless face: "Listen to it, all those who don't leave will be arrested and sent to the county jail!" β
Zhao Zhixian almost fell, and his eyes were very complicated when he looked at He Qingxiao.
He forgot that this Lord He was Jin Linwei.
The people are afraid of the officials, and they are even more afraid of the officials who take the knife against the people. The dozens of villagers who were dead or alive faced the long knives that shimmered with cold light, and honestly followed the team.
Xin Yu walked beside He Qingxiao and asked softly, "If there is no flood, isn't Lord He afraid of bad reputation?" β
"You never go untargeted."
After being silent for a moment, He Qingxiao said again: "It's okay to have a bad reputation. β
is a very ordinary sentence, and I can't even hear any emotion, but Xin Yu feels that her heart has been stabbed.
There was a little bit of pain, more of a taste that she couldn't tell.
She thought that if nothing happened to her mother, it would be good if she had met Master He while traveling around.
The rain was non-stop, the roads were muddy and difficult to walk, and as more and more villagers whispered, the huge team grew farther and farther away from the village.
"Look!" In the crowd, I don't know who shouted.
The broken shout was filled with panic, and those who heard it turned their heads.
Far away, a flood rolled in from the direction of their village, sweeping everything.
Between heaven and earth, the rain poured down, and together with the flood, it set off huge waves.
A villager had a weak leg and knelt down: "It's flooded, it's all flooded!" β
The lieutenant rushed over and gave him a kick, angrily scolding: "I still think about this at this time, don't run quickly!" β
The direction of the flood was different from the direction in which everyone evacuated, and people seemed to be safe, but the natural disasters were accurate, and the farther they ran, the better.
"Go over there!"
Xin Yu, these talented people did not run at the front.
There are many people in the two villages, and when they see someone who is about to fall and can't run, they will help them.
"Mother, I can't runβ" A girl of seven or eight fell to the ground, crying.
Xin Yu looked at it subconsciously, and his expression changed suddenly: "Falling stones!" β
I don't know if it was the continuous erosion of the rain or the infiltration of the stagnant water, a large rock fell from the top of the mountain, tumbling and falling this way.
"Get out of the way!" He Qingxiao snorted, picked up the girl and dodged to the side.
The boulder slammed into the place where the girl had just stayed, bounced and continued to roll down.
In a frightened cry, Xin Yu's eyes were still on He Qingxiao and the girl.
Obviously, the two of them were safe, but a picture suddenly appeared in front of her.
The picture of He Qingxiao's fall.
"Lord Heβ" She opened her mouth to remind him that the danger was not over, but she heard a slight click, and then her body sank.
With the wind whistling in her ears and the boundless rain on her back, in her eyes that widened in astonishment, the familiar figure jumped down without hesitation and chased after her.
It turned out that she fell first.
Before losing consciousness, Xin Yu had an answer to the picture he saw from He Qingxiao.
