Chapter 90: The Dam Bursts

Click!

Thundered!

The sky was cloudy, lightning and thunder, and the downpour was pouring down.

In Changning County, there is a storm and rain.

Water is the source of all things, but the rain is not coming at the right time, because it is late August!

Late rice is grown in Changning County, which was harvested in September, and now it is the eve of the autumn harvest, and there is no need for water in the rice fields.

Not only that, but the heavy rain at this time is a disaster for the rice fields, especially since this rainstorm has been raining for three days and three nights!

That's right, this rainstorm has been going on for three days!

Heavy rain raged in Changning County, and the streets of the county were 'howling', and deep water was dripping on the ground.

In the wind and rain, the streets were empty, the shops were closed, and even the private schools were forced to take a holiday.

In the courtyard of Zhao Yu's house.

Two large and three small, a family of five stood in the hall, quietly looking at the wind and rain outside the door.

Zhao Yongzhuo frowned and sighed:

"Alas...... It is said that this year's wind and rain are smooth, but at the critical moment, there is such a rainstorm, and it seems that those rice fields are going to reduce their yields again! ”

Hearing this, Yun An on the side was puzzled, and looked at Zhao Yongzhuo with his little head up:

"Master, didn't you say that the rice fields will have a good harvest with rain? Why is there still a reduction in production? My family was forced to flee the famine because of years of drought. ”

"You're still young, you don't know how to farm!"

Zhao Yongzhuo glanced at Yun An, shook his head and said:

"There is no need for water before the rice harvest, and if it rains heavily at this time, it is easy to knock down the rice, the rice grains will be knocked down, and the fallen rice ears are easy to germinate, resulting in reduced yields!"

"Oh!"

Yun An nodded as if he didn't understand, and then grinned:

"Master, our family is not farming now, this rain will fall, whether it will reduce the yield or not!"

"Hun boy, what nonsense!"

As soon as Yun An spoke, Hu Shi, who was sitting inside, suddenly got up and glared at him, and hummed and taught:

"We are farmers at all times! Although this rainstorm has no impact on us now, it is not good to affect other people, we can't watch it, we must have empathy! Such a rainy day is not good for anyone! ”

"Yes, ma'am! I know it's wrong, and I won't in the future! ”

Yun An immediately pulled down his head, his face full of mistakes.

After being taught a lesson by the Hu family, Yun Anxin was stunned and looked at Zhao Yu pitifully.

Zhao Yu didn't pay attention to Yun An, he was standing by the door at this time, scratching his ears and cheeks to see the non-stop heavy rain outside.

Seeing this, Yun An was puzzled, and after smiling with Hu Shi, he walked behind Zhao Yu curiously:

"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Are you also worried about farmers reducing their yields? ”

"Am I worried? I'm worried about my own stuff! ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Yun An.

Hearing this, the weaver girl on the side immediately walked to Zhao Yu's side and said thoughtfully:

"Young Master, what are you worried about? You can talk to the slave maid. ”

Zhao Yongzhuo and Hu also looked at Zhao Yu curiously.

Zhao Yu looked at the Weaver Girl with a disgruntled face:

"The peppers we planted in Peach Blossom Village, this rain is so heavy, it has been raining for so many days, I am afraid that the flowers on the pepper trees will be wiped out by the rain, and the peppers will rot in the ground!"

"Yikes! Chili! Are peppers going to rot in the ground? What can I do? ”

The Weaver Girl exclaimed, the chili pepper was planted by her own hands, and it was also what Zhao Yu liked to eat, but now when she heard that it was going to rot, she was so anxious that she couldn't do it.

And Yun An, at this time, his eyes were even more wide, and he rushed into the heavy rain outside the door with a roar.

However, Zhao Yu's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Yun An with one hand:

"Why are you going?"

"Young master, I'll go to Peach Blossom Village, I'll go to harvest chili peppers, let me go!"

Yun An turned his head and looked at Zhao Yu anxiously.

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly, then grabbed Yun An's hand and pulled it back violently, directly sitting Yun An on the ground.

"you, this kind of rainy day, I'm afraid that if you haven't arrived in Peach Blossom Village, people won't know where to be washed by the rain!"

glared at Yun An angrily, Zhao Yu didn't pay attention to it, and looked at the heavy rain outside the door again.

However, when Hu saw Zhao Yu knocking Yun An to the ground again, he was annoyed:

"You stinky boy, you always don't take it lightly or seriously, I think you're going to be beaten again!"

As soon as he helped Yun'an up, Hu waved his hand and was about to beat Zhao Yu.

But at this time, the two small bodies pounced, and one person hugged Hu Shi with one leg:

"Madam, you can't beat the young master, if you want to fight, you can beat the slave!"

"Madam, it's not to blame the young master, I fell down myself!"

The Weaver Girl and Yun An howled dryly, hugging Hu Shi tightly, so that she couldn't beat Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yongzhuo saw it on the side, smiled wryly and shook his head.

And Hu Shi was angry:

"You two little things, every time like this, I haven't touched that kid yet!"

"Zhao Yu, you are looking for two little guys to come back, are you deliberately blocking yourself?"

glared at the two Weaver Girls angrily, and Hu Shi glared at Zhao Yu with a roar.

However, Zhao Yu didn't seem to hear it at this time, grabbed the hat placed by the door and put it on his head, and then rushed out of the hall and into the torrential rain.

Seeing this, Zhao Yongzhuo's face changed, and the originally angry Hu was also taken aback, and hurriedly shouted:

"Yu'er, where are you going? Come back quickly, otherwise you will be gonorrhea by the rain, and my mother will not beat you! ”

"Mother, no! I'll go to the Tiger Master's house next door to have a look! ”

Zhao Yu's crisp sound came from the rainstorm, and his figure disappeared into the 'whoosh' rain curtain in the courtyard.

Hearing this, Zhao Yongzhuo and Hu Shi were relieved.

Then, Hu shook his leg and angrily asked the two children to hurry up.

The two little ones smiled all over their faces, and hurriedly got up, and when they got up, they didn't forget to tidy up Hu's crumpled dress, which made Hu laugh angrily.

Outside.

After Zhao Yu walked out of his yard, he rushed into the courtyard of Xue Hu's house in two steps.

The reason why he came in the rain was because he had just seen a figure in a cloak dangling in front of the courtyard arch at the door of the hall and entering Xue Hu's house.

Although the figure was covered by a robe, Zhao Yu vaguely looked like Li Hongyi, so he ran over.

And so it is.

As soon as he rushed into Xue Hu's house, Zhao Yu saw Li Hongyi, who was wearing trouser legs and a pair of wet shoes, standing in the room talking to Xue Hu.

The two of them seemed to be talking about something important, but they were all serious, and even when Zhao Yu arrived, the two of them just looked at it and didn't pay attention to it.

Zhao Yu put down his hat and listened to it.

"Master Tiger, this is the case! The Peach River has risen so badly that even the nearby rice fields are about to be flooded, and if it continues like this, it is certain that the rice fields will be flooded! In the past few days of heavy rain, most of the rice in the rice field has been dumped, and even a lot of rice grains have fallen into the field, and I am afraid that the yield will be reduced again this year! ”

After saying it in one breath, Li Hongyi looked at Xue Hu with solemnity.

Xue Hu frowned, and his only eye showed doubt:

"What's going on? How did the Peach River rise and overflow? In the past, there was no such situation after four or five consecutive days of heavy rain, but this time it has only been raining for three days, why did the water rise like this? ”

"I'm also very puzzled about this matter, not only the Taohe, but on the way I came just now, I found that the Yishui and Linjiang rivers in the city are also seriously flooded, and even some of the lower places of the river have overflowed!"

Li Hongyi frowned tightly and shook his head.

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was immediately curious:

"Uncle Li, isn't it normal for the river to rise when it's raining heavily in the world?"

Hearing this, the two looked at Zhao Yu, and Li Hongyi shook his head:

"Little young master doesn't know, our river in Changning County is high in the east and low in the west, the drop is large, and it is not easy to accumulate water, even if it rains heavily in the next four or five days, it is not easy to form floods, and this time it only rained for three days, and the river overflowed and had a tendency to flood, which is really a bit abnormal!"

"Is that ......?"

Zhao Yu groaned, his eyes flickered: "Since this is the case, there are only two reasons for this situation!" One is that the downstream river is not smooth, and the other is that there are suddenly more ...... upstream than before."

"The sky is falling! The Wangjiangkou Dam in the upper reaches of Yishui is about to burst!! ”

Before Zhao Yu finished speaking, suddenly, a terrible roar suddenly sounded in the rainstorm outside.

Immediately after this voice, more roars rang out one after another from outside:

"The Wangjiangkou Dam has opened a big opening, and the dam is bursting, or it will be lost!"

"Two villages downstream of the dam have been flooded, and the government is organizing people to build embankments to fight the flood!"

"Everyone, old and young masters, come out to fight the flood, otherwise the county will be flooded!"

A terrible howl sounded in the street outside, and the rain was boiling in an instant.

Hearing the sound outside, the faces of the three people in the hall changed suddenly.

Xue Hu and Li Hongyi suddenly withdrew their gazes from outside the door and glared at each other.

Li Hongyi's hands trembled slightly, and he said urgently:

"What's going on? What's going on? The Wangjiangkou Dam has just been built, and it is a strong dam that cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, so why did it break the embankment so easily? ”

Xue Hu did not answer Li Hongyi, but snorted:

"Now is not the time to talk about this, you immediately go back to Peach Blossom Village and organize people to block the flood outside the village!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go back now!"

Li Hongyi reacted immediately, grabbed the coat by the door and rushed out of the hall.

Xue Hu did not hesitate, and rushed into the rain curtain with Li Hongyi on his hind feet.

Then, Xue Hu's deep shout came from the rainstorm:

"Yu boy, the city is going to be chaotic, stay at home and don't run around!"

"Got it, Master Tiger!"

Zhao Yu rushed to the door and yelled at the rain outside.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yu put the hat on his head and ran home in the rain.
