"Come up!" Zhao Shuo's voice was full of impatience.

After he rejected her just now, he rode to the official road, and heard the villagers who fled say that dozens of villagers in the village were trapped by the mudslide and could not evacuate, so he asked Ye Xing to go back to the city first, and he came over to see the truth.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came over, I saw them trapped here.

Xiting looked at his big palm stretched out to him, and his back suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but stare at him suspiciously, as if he was thinking about whether to listen to him.

Before she could finish thinking, Zhao Shuo lowered his waist impatiently, hugged her waist, and lifted the person directly in front of him.

Qian Xiting's cheeks were flushed, his apricot eyes were wide, and he looked back at the cold man behind him in disbelief.

Zhao Shuo's eyes were cold, he looked straight ahead, and warned: "If you don't want to die, sit down!" ”

Xiting's body stiffened, and his hands held the saddle hard, no longer moving.

Zhao Shuo subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked at her, seeing that she looked frightened, somehow, a trace of unbearability passed through his heart, and his voice became softer: "The water level has flooded the farmland, if you want to open this mound, I can only ride a horse to take you to the house over there and take the hoe, if I go alone, I can't take so many hoes." ”

Xiting turned his head in surprise and looked at the man behind him, although this person exuded a cold aura all over his body, but he was able to take a real look at the surrounding environment with just a few hurried glances, and quickly found a solution according to the available resources.

I just saw him gone, and I only felt that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, but I didn't expect that he would be able to think of a way to help them lie down on the mound.

Why did he come back? Did he also know that there were villagers trapped inside? Turning back because of this?

Thinking of this, Xiting took advantage of the faint light of the lightning to see the facial features of the man in front of him clearly, and he felt that there was a little tenderness hidden under this cold look.

In fact, this mound looks high, but the actual width is not large, after Zhao Shuo took the hoe from the house with Xiting, several of them dug together, but in a quarter of an hour they dug out a path that could accommodate one person.

After seeing that the road was open, several people hurriedly ran towards the back village in the rain.

After running a few steps, he saw a group of people running towards them, about 100 people in front of them, among whom some big men were running in front of them with hoes or firewood knives.

"Officers and soldiers, it's officers and soldiers!" The few people who ran ahead saw them and shouted in surprise.

Cao Jiang looked at one of the big men with a sturdy figure and a hoe, and was very puzzled, "You ...... it"

The big man followed his line of sight and glanced at the hoe in his hand, and then looked at the mound that had already been passable, and his somewhat vicious face actually showed a smile: "I just got up at night, and I heard the sound of a crowd here, so I came to take a look, and when I heard it through this mound, I knew that the flood was coming, and everyone was ready to evacuate to the city." I immediately ran back to the village to wake them up. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the hoe in his hand up, and said, "But when I thought that the road was blocked, I asked the young men to carry hoes or firewood knives in their hands, so that they could be used to open the way. ”

"The flood is coming, everyone run." The villagers who were running ahead had already crossed the mound and shouted.

Hearing this, Xiting immediately interrupted a few people who were talking, "Quick, let's hurry into the city." ”

With that, he turned around and ran through the mound of dirt and followed the crowd towards the official road.

But after running for a while, I felt that the crowd in front of me who were running in panic suddenly slowed down, and then an exclamation came into the eardrums: "Oh no, the flood has already flooded the official road, it's too late." ”

Xiting was startled, paused for a moment, and looked up at the official road ahead.

I saw that the riverbank had long been submerged in the flood, and the churning waves devoured the farmland like a demon, constantly beating the roadside, rushing towards the official road, fortunately, the official road had long been uninhabited, and only a red flag planted at the junction of the official road and the village entrance was particularly conspicuous.

She looked at the red flag that was being ravaged by the wind and rain and was crumbling, her pupils widened suddenly, and she hurriedly ran into the crowd and shouted to the villagers who started running again: "Come back, don't run, don't run, everyone." ”

But everyone had already fallen into endless panic, just thinking that they could escape for their lives quickly, and who would pay attention to her words.

Seeing this, Xiting couldn't help but get anxious, glanced left and right, struggled to run to the front of the crowd, stood in front of the red flag and stretched out his hand to stop everyone, "Don't run yet, listen to me!" ”

The villagers who were running ahead paused slightly when they saw someone blocking their way.

"You little lady, why are you holding us back like this? If you don't want to run for your life, you can stay here yourself, why do you want us to die with you? After a thin man standing in front of Xiting finished speaking, he opened her hand and continued to run forward.

Seeing this, the villagers behind the thin man also followed closely behind.

Xiting hurriedly stepped forward to stop the man again, pointing to the red flag on the side, "Listen to me, I have a rule in the DPRK that in case of a sudden flood, a red flag must be planted as a warning, and no one is allowed to approach the place where the red flag is. ”

After she said, she pointed in the direction of Pingyang County, "Besides, this place is still a certain distance from the county seat, and the flood has overflowed into the official road, if this rain does not stop, we will not have time to escape to the city and will be swept away by the flood." ”

After everyone heard Xiting finish speaking, the surroundings fell into silence, and they all watched the flood on the side of the road rushing towards the official road, but they couldn't do anything.

Xiting saw that everyone was quiet, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what are we going to do? If we continue to wait like this, the flood will surely sink into the village, and we will be drowned. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly stirred again.

Everyone nodded in agreement, "Yes, if you retreat to the village, you will also be drowned, in previous years, before the dam was built, which flood did not flood the village?" Now that the flood has reached the official road at the entrance of the village, the embankment must have not worked, and if it continues like this, the village will definitely be flooded. ”

"Yes, yes, this embankment that the River Repair Division has spent so much effort to build, and it is to raise donations for us to buy materials, and it is for us to help build the dam, but now it seems that it is still useless, we still pointed out that this year can avoid this flood season, and the River Repair Division and the county government did not notify us to evacuate in advance this year, and now they are about to flood in before they hurriedly let us escape."

“......”

Everyone began to shift from the panic of having no way to escape to complaining about the government.

But at this time, Xiting didn't have the heart to listen to these complaints, she hung her head and tried to think about the next escape route, how to avoid reducing casualties.

Everyone saw that Fang had just stopped their Xiting, but at this moment, they lowered their heads as if they had nothing to do, knowing that they couldn't count on her.

"Guys, I think she's just a little lady who hasn't left the cabinet, how can she understand this, since both horizontal and vertical are dead, if we rush out, maybe we can run to the city before the flood floods the official road." A man in the crowd with a firewood knife raised his hand and shouted.

As he spoke, the man ran towards the official road.

Seeing this, everyone also followed, but Zhao Shuo, who was standing in the crowd at this time, stood aside with his hands in his hands, not moving, only staring at Xiting with a pair of eyes like cold stars with inexplicable meaning.

At that moment, her eyes suddenly flashed, she looked up at everyone, and said in surprise: "I know what to do!" ”
