Chapter 615: The Yellow River Breaks

Li Daoxuan really wanted to take a look at Luoyang, but he was not in a hurry.

It's still early for Jiang Cheng to go to Luoyang, every day that passes, just cut the "empathy" to the cotton thread Tianzun on his chest and take a look, and when he arrives in Luoyang, it's not too late to completely turn his attention to play Luoyang tourism.

A day later, Jiangcheng waited for a light wind and rain, and the river was relatively calm, took a ferry, pulled the iron cable across the Fengling crossing, and finally came to Tongguan Road on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Then they started to follow the official road all the way east......

From Tongguan Road to Luoyang, it is more than 400 miles.

The storms and rains along the way came from time to time, which made Jiangcheng walk very hard, and several times Li Daoxuan "sympathized" to see where he went, and found him trudging hard in the heavy rain.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but sigh, it was really not easy for ancient merchants to make some money.

A few days later, more than 400 miles were finally completed.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said to his subordinates: "I am finally going to Luoyang, and in front of me is Meng Jinkou." It's very close to Luoyang. Whew, it's so exhausting. ”

Li Daoxuan happened to empathize with him at this time, and just heard his words, and he was secretly happy in his heart: Yes, yes, I am finally going to Luoyang. When playing the game "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I like to occupy Luoyang the most, and I offer the emperor, and now I can see the ancient Luoyang City with my own eyes, which is also a pleasure.

He wasn't happy for five seconds, though.

I heard one of Jiang Cheng's subordinates shouting, "Not good! Master, look, look over there......"

Jiang Cheng and Li Daoxuan's eyes looked in the direction of the fingers under the hand at the same time.

He was referring to the Yellow River dam at the mouth of Mengjin to the north......

The moment everyone turned their eyes to look over, they just saw the Yellow River embankment bursting.

With a loud rumbling bang, the levee cracked, and the yellow water rushed out, at first it was only a small stream, leaking everywhere, but soon it began to collapse completely.

The levees began to collapse in large areas, and yellow water gushed out.

Jiang Cheng: "Fuck! ”

Li Daoxuan: "!! ”

Jiang Cheng's subordinates shouted in unison: "Oh no. ”

"Run!" Jiang Cheng was the first to react: "Quick, run to a high place, run, run." ”

The men shouted: "Salt cart." ”

Jiang Cheng: "Don't want it, throw it away, run." ”

The group abandoned the salt cart and began to run towards the nearest hill.

The water of the Yellow River, which burst its embankment, rushed towards the plain outside Luoyang.

Everywhere there were people screaming and running wildly.

The yellow river chased after the common people, driving them to run, but how fast the water flowed, where could the legs of the people win? From time to time, people fall, are swept up by the river, and are swallowed up......

Jiangcheng's group was far away from the river embankment, but they were not immediately swallowed by the river, and they still had time to run, and there was a small hill in front of them that was not very high, and the name was "Gao Po".

There were already hundreds of people on the slope, and Jiang Cheng's group ran up desperately.

Standing at the top of the slope, I turned my head to look back, and saw that the yellow river had come to the place where they had just thrown away the salt cart, and the salt cart was swallowed up by the river and disappeared in an instant.

These salt trucks were transported from Yongji Gudu by them with great difficulty, but they didn't expect that in such an instant, all the hard work along the way was in vain.

Of course, what is even worse than the salt car is that the people who were caught up by the river disappeared into the torrent one after another.

The few lucky people ran to the bottom of the high slope and climbed desperately upward, but the people on the slope did not dare to go down to the rescue, so they could only shout at the top of the slope: "Come up, hurry, ...... quickly"

"Boom!"

The water swept over the position of the half-slope, and the people who climbed the half-slope picked up a life, and those who didn't have time to come up were all swept away by the yellow water.

Li Daoxuan looked at this scene and felt extremely uncomfortable.

But here outside his field of vision, he couldn't reach in to help these people, he could only sigh.

I don't know how long it took, but the surroundings finally calmed down.

The river no longer rushes wildly, but accumulates on this plain and becomes a slow flow.

Hundreds of ordinary people stood on top of a high slope, surrounded by yellow water.

Everyone looked out and could see a slope on the water in the distance, a slope to the east and a slope to the west, and hundreds of people gathered on the top of each slope.

Like an island in the middle of a yellow ocean.

Although the people on these isolated islands have picked up a life, the next problem arises again. There were hundreds of people on each island, all of whom fled in disarray, many of whom had no food or water, no cooking tools, no food to eat, no shelter from the rain, and were drenched in the cold rain and blown by the river wind.

How long can this continue?

Jiang Cheng glanced at the surrounding situation and said to the subordinates around him, "We're just afraid that we won't be able to go home this time." Although he was not drowned, he was trapped on an isolated island and could not survive for a few days. ”

One of his subordinates whispered, "We have dry rations, maybe we can last a few days?" In a few days, the water will recede, right? ”

Jiang Cheng: "That's hard to say! The diversion of the Yellow River is not unusual, and it is not uncommon for this neighborhood to become the course of the Yellow River from now on, and our group will be trapped in the middle of the river until death. ”

Everyone: "......"

Jiang Cheng said: "Even if it doesn't become a river, after the water recedes, there will be a lot of silt nearby. ”

Everyone was silent, the problem of silt was called fatal, it was too dangerous to walk in the mud, and if you didn't do it well, you would fall into it, and you couldn't extricate yourself, and in the end it was a dead word.

All were in despair.

At this moment, the cotton thread Tianzun on Jiang Cheng's chest spoke: "Hold on, the rescue force of Gaojia Village has already set off." ”

Jiang Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly lowered his head, but saw that Tianzun only said that, so he fell silent again.

However, one sentence is enough.

In Jiang Cheng's heart, a strong hope instantly rose.

The will to survive was burning, he stood up on the ground, and said loudly to the trapped people: "Everyone get together, huddle together, warm each other with each other's bodies, whatever can cover the rain, all stand up and share with the people next to us, we try to minimize the consumption of physical strength, hold on!" Waiting for help to arrive. ”

A group of poor people looked at him with dead eyes: "This lord, where will there be any rescue?" The government won't care about the lives or deaths of us ordinary people. ”

"yes, who's going to come to the rescue of people like us?"

Jiang Cheng said loudly: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Rescue will come, it will come! There is an immortal named Dao Xuan Tianzun, he cares about the people the most, and he will come to save everyone in a while...... Don't be afraid, get together to keep warm first, don't lose your strength in vain. Come, everyone has gathered together, and I will tell you the story of Xuan Tianzun again. ”
