Jingnan Township.

Eastern.

As the flattest township in the whole Jingyu County, its eastern part is a plain depression, at this time, only to see the waves rolling, like a vast ocean, farmland and houses are gone, everything has been flooded.

The turbid water is still flowing fast with sediment, and there are occasional ruins of broken walls that are covered in sediment, and beyond that, there is a vast river as far as the eye can see.

Follow this vast flood all the way to the east.

At the end of the field of vision, a small black shadow could be seen emerging from the water, it was a mountain, this mountain was not very high, or in fact it was a low hill at all, not even a mountain, at this time the foot of the mountain had already been flooded, only the middle and upper part remained.

And on the bare rock wall in the upper part of it, I saw a large number of figures crowded one by one, about a thousand people, mostly old people and young children, who stood tightly where they could barely settle, and each of them was crowded together.

Some of the people were pale, some were panicked, and many more had a little gray in their eyes.

And at this very moment.

Suddenly, an exclamation came.

Some people turned their heads to look, and saw a rock in the middle, a man wearing a brocade robe, a fat man-like person, one turned around, and rubbed against the seven or eight-year-old girl who was curled up on the edge of the rock.

But at this moment, a trace of anger flashed on the face of the brocade-robed old man's irritated face, and he suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and pulled the corners of his clothes back, and the little girl who had not yet stood firm again lost her balance again, and only let out an exclamation, and fell from the edge of the rock at once, and fell into the rolling muddy water, and the water was extremely turbulent, and disappeared at once.

"Hong'er!!"

Seeing this, an old man huddled in the corner of the rock next to him was stunned for a while, lying on the edge of the rock and looking down desperately, but where could he still see the shadow of the little girl.

Then he looked at Bao Yinlin tremblingly and said, "You, how can you kill someone!" ”

Bao Yinlin sneered and said, "Bao Ye's brocade robe can also be touched by her cheap hands?" I will kill people, and if the old thing says one more word, I will let you get out of here, and make a companion for your granddaughter who has suffered from the plague on Huangquan Road! ”

"You...... You ......"

Old Zhao was trembling with anger, and he walked forward along the edge of the rock, wanting to share the theory with Bao Yinlin.

However, as soon as Bao Yinlin saw Zhang Laohan stepping on the rock where he was, his eyes immediately turned fierce, and he grabbed Zhang Laohan and shook it, and the skinny Zhang Laohan could withstand such a pull, and immediately fell off the rock.

This scene finally aroused the anger of the crowd, and some people crowded on the rock wall nearby all glared at Bao Yinlin, and some people couldn't help but reprimand loudly.

But Bao Yinlin sneered at this time, and several servants around him each picked up sticks.

"If you dare to shout again, let you all go down too!"

"The master gave you a way to live, and if you are not grateful, you dare to talk more."

A servant snorted coldly.

Several of the domestic servants were burly and sturdy, obviously all of them had practiced martial arts, and at this time, they fought with sticks in their hands, and suddenly they were so angry that a figure on the nearby rock wall showed a look of fear.

But at this time.

Suddenly, someone looked into the distance, showed a hint of shock, and said, "What's that?!" ”

With this voice, many figures immediately looked at each other.

Saw.

On the surface of the rolling and turbulent water, far downstream, a figure just went upriver along the river, and its feet were empty, and there were no boats, and if you looked closely, the one floating on the turbulent river, the one that carried its whole figure, seemed to be just a slender reed!

A reed across the river!

The figure came on the reeds, did not go straight to the mountain, but turned the body first, and the whole person suddenly disappeared into the water, and when it surfaced again, there was a figure in his hand, the body was small, and the head was scattered, and it was the girl Hong'er who was torn off the rock wall by Bao Yinlin before!

After carrying one more person in his hand, the reeds on the soles of his feet seemed to be unable to bear this amount, and he was about to sink, but Chen Mu looked calm on his toes, carried the girl and jumped a little, spanning several zhang at once, and then stepped on a piece of rotten wood that surfaced again, and jumped again.

After several vertical jumps in succession.

Chen Mu approached the small hillside, suddenly threw the girl in his hand up, and the whole person disappeared into the water again, and when he appeared again, he picked up an old man with his right hand, and then caught the girl with his left hand again, and stepped on the water, making the entire water splash a huge wave, and then the whole person jumped high, and after a few flashes, the figure finally landed on the small hillside!

This scene stunned everyone on the hillside.

"God...... Immortals ......"

Some children couldn't help but speak out.

The adults next to him swallowed their saliva, they knew that Chen Mu was not an immortal, he was a master who practiced martial arts and kung fu to the level of immortals, not to mention in Jingnan Township, but in the entire Jingyu County, he was probably a big man who had risen to the sky.

"Ahem, ahem."

Chen Mu was holding a person in his left and right hands, and his posture was the same, and at this time, Zhao Laohan and his granddaughter Hong'er were coughing violently, coughing up all the muddy water that had choked into their throats, and soon their faces gradually looked a lot better.

Just as there was silence in the field, and when everyone looked at Chen Mu, they saw Chen Mu slowly let go of Zhao Laohan and his granddaughter Hong'er, and then turned his eyes to Bao Yinlin, and said indifferently: "You pushed people down?" Why? ”

Although he was too far away just now to know what was going on here, his vision was far beyond ordinary people, and he could still see that the old man and the girl's fall into the water were related to Bao Yinlin wearing a luxurious brocade robe.

"Uh, this ......"

Bao Yinlin looked at Chen Mu's eyes, and suddenly felt worried in his heart, and his voice trembled a little, but he couldn't make up a reason for a while.

And at this moment, a seven or eight-year-old child next to him couldn't help but say: "He pushed it down, and he said that he would throw us all down!" ”

This sentence immediately frightened the woman next to the child half to death, and quickly reached out to cover the child's mouth.

Bao Yinlin immediately glanced at the woman and the child with resentful eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but at this time, Chen Mu's voice came again: "What he said is true?" ”

I saw that Chen Mu didn't know when, he had come to the rock where Bao Yinlin was standing, and said coldly.

A trace of cold sweat overflowed on Bao Yinlin's forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... My lord, it was the kid who wanted to drag me down first......"

Seeing that Chen Mu's eyes were getting colder and colder, his voice suddenly became lower and lower, and he trembled: "I, my lord, I ...... My brother-in-law's surname is Xie, and he is a distant relative of the Xie family in the county......"

Bang.

Chen Mu was too lazy to listen to any more nonsense, with a wave of his sleeves, Bao Yinlin's whole person screamed, and his fat body flew out of the rock like a leaf of paper, fell into the flood below, and after a few hard splashes, he disappeared.

At this time, Zhao Laohan and his granddaughter Hong'er, who were rescued, finally recovered, Zhao Laohan looked at his granddaughter Hong'er, who was covered in mud and water, but her face gradually recovered, and her face showed an excited look, and she couldn't help but bow to Chen Mu.

"My lord, benefactor, the old man has kowtowed to you."

"Okay, no need to be polite."

Chen Mu glanced at Zhao Laohan, and then his gaze swept over the many figures on the hillside, his eyes showed a look of contemplation, and then said in a deep voice: "This official is the Supervision Division, responsible for the flood disaster in the Qingping River Basin, you and others don't need to be polite, don't panic, obey the orders of this official, and they will send you to a safe place." ”

The world's response to disasters is much better than he expected, in fact, the response to the last drought was better than he expected, and this time the flood was similar, when he arrived in Jingnan Township, officials from all sides came to report that most of the people in the most serious flood areas had been safely evacuated.

Most of the victims trapped here are elderly, young, sick and disabled.

Of course, there are idiots like Bao Yinlin.

Chen Mu glanced at the rock that Bao Yinlin occupied before, there were several large boxes piled up on it, and at a glance, he knew that there were gold and silver and other household utensils in it, which he was reluctant to discard and wanted to take them all away, but when he walked halfway, he found that the earth was muddy and it was becoming more and more difficult to walk, and finally he was trapped here, not only greedy and stupid, but also cruel and arrogant.

As a matter of fact.

The officials of the township and county basically gave up their attitude towards Zhao Laohan, a group of trapped victims.

Mainly when the flood occurs, the leylines are shaking, the water is turbulent and there are waves, and it is difficult for big ships to go together, let alone small boats, which will capsize directly if they are not careful, not to mention that there are monsters in the water.

Zhao Laohan's group of people can stay here until now, and they have not been eaten by the monsters that infest the water, which can only be said to be lucky.

Like this,

Basically, it won't last a day or two, and they will all die in the mouth of the monster.

It's too difficult to save people, not to mention ordinary people, even if it's a martial artist in the Flesh Realm, or even a martial artist in the Yi Muscle Realm, in the face of this kind of flood, he doesn't dare to say that he can be calm in the water, even if he forges bones, he has to be careful!

After receiving reports from various places, Chen Mu did not criticize the practices of the township and county officials.

From their point of view, there is indeed no need for further search and rescue, and those who have not escaped from the flood-stricken areas are basically treated as distressed, and they probably can't save many people if they spend their efforts to save them, and it is more likely that more people will be rescued.

Therefore, Chen Mu did not forcibly order the township and county officials to carry out the search and rescue, but went deep into the flood-stricken place alone, exploring and searching along the surging torrent to see if there were any survivors.

Unexpectedly.

Not only that, but quite a lot.

On this small hillside, there are almost a thousand people.

But I'm afraid that in the whole flooded land, those who can't escape in time are the only ones who survive.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”

As soon as they heard Chen Mu's words, the many figures on the hillside were almost excited, if it weren't for the fact that the place was really small and crowded, I am afraid that they would have already knelt down.

Failed to escape in time, trapped on this narrow hillside, many of them were actually desperate in their hearts, and they never hoped that someone would come to the rescue.

Who would have thought that there would be an official like Chen Mu!

Although many people don't even know what kind of official the Supervision Division is, the scene of Chen Mu crossing the river with a reed and saving people in the turbulent river is deeply imprinted in his heart, and he can have such a fairy method, maybe he can really save them!

"A bit too many people......"

Chen Mu's gaze swept over the hillside, and his heart was still pondering.

In the end, he is just a human, not an immortal, maybe the big people in the legendary Washing the Pulp and Changing the Blood Realm can take thousands of people away from here and bring them to safety by themselves, but he can't do it.

Even if you want to take away hundreds of people at a time, it is impossible, and it is not safe here at all, monsters may appear in the water at any time, these villagers have no resistance in front of monsters, and they will become monsters in an instant.

But.

Chen Mu still quickly thought of a countermeasure.

He reached into his sleeve, took out an arrow from it, and with a fuse, a beam of light rose into the sky, and then exploded on the sky, bursting with a sharp whistle.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Laohan trembled with his granddaughter in his arms, and many villagers showed hope.

However, after Chen Mu released the sentry order, he didn't look at it more, but turned his eyes to Zhao Laohan and his granddaughter Hong'er, smashed a few pieces of the wooden box next to him with one hand, and rubbed it twice to make the wood burn.

"Come and roast."

Chen Mu piled the wood next to him and said calmly to Zhao Laohan.

At this time, it was still drizzling in the sky, although it was spring rain, it was still cold, and most of the people were wearing robes, but Zhao Laohan and his granddaughter fell into the water before, and both of them were soaked.

Zhao Laohan looked at Chen Mu, trembling a little daunting, but seeing that his granddaughter Hong'er was shivering from the cold, he still carefully pulled Hong'er over, came to the fire, and kowtowed to Chen Mu.

"Okay, no need to be polite."

Chen Mu stopped Zhao Laohan, reached out and touched Hong'er's head, wiped off a wisp of mud and sand from her messy hair, and asked, "How did you get left here?" ”

Zhao Laohan first kowtowed to Chen Mu again, and then said tremblingly: "People from the township said that there was going to be a big flood, and the young and strong people in the village ran away, and my son and two grandchildren also ran away, and I walked slowly with Hong'er, and the road was not good......"

Listening to Zhao Laohan's intermittent words.

Chen Mu roughly understood that Zhao Laohan and Hong'er were not the only surviving grandfather and granddaughter, there were sons, daughters-in-law and grandsons in the middle, but the sons and daughters-in-law all gave priority to fleeing with their grandsons on their backs, and they didn't care about Zhao Laohan and their granddaughters, so they fell behind.

There is nothing to say about this, on the one hand, the world is patriarchal, on the other hand, ordinary people can't take care of all the old and young, and they want to escape with the old and young families, and in the end the family may not have time to escape.

Looking at this small hillside, there are obviously several such ones.

"You're all about the same."

Chen Mu looked at some people who were close again.

Many villagers have never seen Chen Mu such a 'kind' official on weekdays, and at this time they are still trembling, not daring to answer at will, they all bow their heads respectfully, and only respond in a whisper after saluting in a small place.

And just as one of them was telling the story, suddenly there was a stir on the surface of the water not far away, splashing a piece of muddy water, and then a monster almost two meters in size, shaped like a herring fish, pounced out of the water and swallowed the nearest young child.

The toddler was immediately frightened and remained motionless.

"Look for death!"

Chen Mu snorted coldly, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and a stone appeared on his fingertips at some point, which was violently popped out by his fingers, and a thunder arc slashed through the air, and it hit the head of the fish demon at once!

The fish demon's skull was almost like paper paste, and it was directly shattered by the stone and penetrated through, and its huge body also flew out of the water at once, and fell back into the water below again, disappearing.
