Chapter 198: The Dammed Lake
After dawn, Jiang Yuqing asked the villagers about the location of the wells, picked a few wells that looked the cleanest, and taught them to make a few simple filtration devices.
Tell the victims to filter the water and boil it before drinking.
Don't be afraid of trouble, only in this way can the occurrence of diseases be minimized.
Lixi is a small county, and the county seat is not big. The house has no high floors, and it is all made of bricks and wood, so it is not too difficult to search and rescue.
But due to the underdeveloped transportation of this era. Yunzhou is far away from the capital, and it takes three days for carrier pigeons to fly from Yunzhou to the capital.
Coupled with the delay in the work before and after, a full six days have passed since the occurrence of the ground movement, and the golden period of 36 hours of rescue has long been missed.
Even so, Jiang Yuqing still asked the captain who led the team to divide the 1,500 people into several squads.
Carrying a large number of disaster relief materials, led by the surviving villagers, they went to the villages under their jurisdiction to save people, and they must not give up every living person, and they can save one by one.
If the rescued people are close to the county seat, they will all be sent back to the temporary resettlement sites here. If it's far away, set up tents nearby to house the victims.
Survivors were dug out of the rubble one after another, and there were not many of them, although they were numerous. Some of them died of complications after being rescued.
Limited medical resources, and a steady stream of wounded people from various villages. Jiang Yuqing seems to have returned to the time when he was in the field hospital, and all that was left in his mind was to save people, without stopping.
While doing surgery, they were given vitality, and those who were seriously injured and dying even directly used rejuvenation techniques, which consumed huge spiritual power.
In addition, after giving birth, the realm declined, and she had to stop almost every hour to recover her spiritual power, and later she even saved people while absorbing spirit crystals.
Under such a high load, Rao is an immortal cultivator is a little unbearable.
After gritting his teeth for two more days, the temporary medical team formed by the Heavenly Doctors from all over the country came, Jiang Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and arranged for the military doctors who had not closed their eyes for several days to rest.
Give this place to the disciples of the Medical Valley for the time being.
Then she went back to the tent to call her husband and son to report that they were safe, and then slept hard, and returned to the spiritual realm to recover her spiritual energy. Then he stepped out of the tent.
Outside, it rained again, and it became more and more urgent.
Jiang Yuqing casually scooped up the broken umbrella that was turned out of the corner and went to the medical tent to inspect it.
When I passed by a camp, I heard people talking: "This heavy rain is almost every day, and according to previous years, the water in Lixi has already risen."
When I followed the officials into the city yesterday, I found that most of the waterline had been pressed down, and I could see the dark rocks at the bottom of the river. With so much rain, the stream is not only not rising, but getting smaller and smaller, which is really strange. ”
Another answered, "I saw it too." You said that this water should not be received by God, otherwise how could it rain every day......"
After Jiang Yuqing heard this, he was shocked. I hurriedly ran back, found out the map of Lixi County, and opened it, and found that Lixi County was located in the lower reaches of Lixi, and the upper reaches were full of mountains and valleys.
It is likely that the ground movement caused the upstream landslide, and the collapsed mountain blocked the river channel and formed a dammed lake. If so, then the people downstream are in danger.
She didn't dare to be careless, and in the name of resting, she hung a Do Not Disturb sign outside the tent, and asked Bai Xiaoshi to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter.
After that, he slapped an invisibility charm on his body, and flew upstream along Lixi out of the county seat. Flying for about a quarter of an hour, between the canyons of the two mountains, sure enough, I saw a dammed lake.
The mountain on the right was half collapsed due to ground movement. A large amount of mud and rocks poured into the river, forming a dam tens of meters high, cutting off the Lixi at the waist, leaving only a corner of the river with a small amount of water still flowing down.
The water level upstream of the earthen dam is already about ten meters higher than that downstream, and the water level is still rising with the passage of time and rainfall.
The dam has no structure to speak of, is too loose to withstand too much water pressure.
Once the dam bursts, a huge amount of flood water will pour down in an instant, and all the villages and surviving people in the lower reaches of Lixi will be wiped out. Lixi County is the first to bear the brunt.
The only solution is to blow the dam open before it bursts and release the water into the flood.
Thinking of this, she took out the array plate that she had obtained from the Suzhou Horse Trough and drove it into the dam body. After that, dozens of spirit crystals were thrown down and a large-scale reinforcement formation was constructed.
to prevent a sudden dam failure before she evacuates everyone downstream.
He also opened the small opening that was still flowing a little wider, increased the water flow and drained down, and then strengthened the mountain on the right to prevent it from collapsing twice.
After flying back to Lixi County, she immediately recruited the master of the Yamen and the captain who led the team to tell her about the dammed lake. Everyone realized the seriousness of the matter, and no one doubted her words.
The terrain of Lixi County is too low, and once the flood water is increased, it will instantly become a flooded country.
The safest way would be to move all the people to higher ground, and to inform all the villages and people along the river to move to higher ground.
After some discussion, everyone finally chose Xihua Temple, which is five miles east of the county seat.
Xihua Temple is a long-abandoned monk temple located in Xihua Mountain.
It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small dirt slope with a slightly higher terrain. The earthquake did not have much of an impact on it. Moreover, the vegetation on the mountain is dense, and landslides will not occur easily.
Without further ado, everyone took immediate action to relocate. The victims were also very cooperative, allowing them to do whatever they wanted. Don't you see the queen running around every day for their affairs?
Although it was a little troublesome to relocate just after they settled down, it was also for their good.
When the villagers moved, Jiang Yuqing also flew downstream along Lixi, informing the low-lying resettlement sites downstream one by one that they must move to the higher ground within a day and be ready for flooding.
Lixi County is close to southern Xinjiang. The stream went out of Daxia and then turned two more bends, and flowed together with two other large rivers and flowed into southern Xinjiang.
Bactria also sent troops to provide relief in southern Xinjiang and set up several temporary settlements. Jiang Yuqing wrote several notes, stamped his queen's gold seal, and threw them into the accounts of the chief officials of each big battalion with Bai Xiaoshi.
It is said that there is a dammed lake upstream, and the dam is about to burst a day later, and the flood is about to hit. For the sake of safety, all the people must be moved to safe heights within one day.
When the chief officials received Jiang Yuqing's letter, they did not dare to slack off and immediately organized the people to transfer.
After doing all this, Jiang Yuqing returned to Lixi with Bai Xiaoshi. At this time, all the victims of Lixi had moved to Xihua Temple.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky poured water down like a hole. There were two more aftershocks during the night, but fortunately, they were both light and frightening.
As soon as dawn, Jiang Yuqing flew to the dammed lake with Bai Xiaoshi, and found that the water was about to overflow to the top of the dam.
Moreover, the flood water upstream is still pouring downstream. Some parts of the mud dam have begun to leak and the situation is precarious. If it weren't for the reinforcement formation she laid, I am afraid that the dam would have collapsed in the middle of the night last night.
She hurriedly asked Bai Xiaoshi to fly downstream to check the transfer of the victims, and promptly used the communication jade talisman to inform her of the details. Bai Xiaoshi took the order and left.
After Bai Xiaoshi left, Jiang Yuqing opened the previous opening a little more, and used his spiritual power to control it as much as possible, increasing the amount of water discharged. Such precise control is very spiritually demanding.
In just an hour, the spiritual power in her body had already been exhausted, and she was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Therefore, he had to stop for a while and enter the spiritual realm to recover his spiritual power.
However, she knew in her heart that this was just the beginning, and there was still a tough battle to be fought next.
Half an hour later, Bai Xiaoshi sent her a telegram that all the victims along the coast had been moved to a safe place and could release the water. Jiang Yuqing then let it fly back to Lixi, strictly control the size of the water flow, and inform her at any time.
The victims were safe, and Jiang Yuqing was a little relieved. Slowly widen and enlarge the drain.
The turbid and turbulent floodwater, carrying a large amount of sediment and debris, rushed down through the gap, forming a waterfall dozens of meters high. The waterfall crashes into the water below, stirring up a mist several feet high.
The rumbling sound of the water was deafening, and it also shook the grass and trees on the shore. But no one who is a little timid dares to approach the water's edge, even a little bit.
Jiang Yuqing stood on a huge rock on the left bank, carefully controlling the flow of the water.
Half an hour later, Bai Xiaoshi sent a communication, saying that the first round of flood peaks had reached Lixi County, and the water had just flooded to the riverbank, and it could be increased more.
Jiang Yuqing then widened the lower outlet slightly, and after doing so three times, Bai Xiaoshi said that the flood had overflowed the bridge piers outside the city, and no matter how big it was, it would flood the county seat. When Jiang Yuqing heard this, he immediately canceled the plan to widen the lower vent for the fourth time.
Lixi has just been hit hard, and if it is flooded again, it will really be a catastrophe.
And there are still many people and animal carcasses in the ruins, and they will have time to dig them out in the future. Once soaked in water, it will accelerate decay, and it is very easy to form a plague, which she will never allow.
Therefore, despite the hardships of support, Jiang Yuqing still gritted his teeth against the huge pressure from the upstream and leaked down little by little. Bai Xiaoshi also flew back in time, kept feeding the elixir back to her mouth, and put the spirit crystal in her hand.
Fortunately, on the second morning, the heavy rain finally stopped, and the inbound flow gradually decreased with the cessation of the heavy rain, which made her feel a little less stressed.
After gritting his teeth for five more days, he finally discharged all the floodwater. In the end, the entire mud dam was dug up in one go, and the downstream was finally safe.
Her heart was relieved, and it was suddenly dark in front of her, and she fell to the ground.
Before fainting, the last thought that flashed through her mind was "She must be tired, otherwise how would she see the child and his father coming." ”
