As the head of the village pointed upstream, there was a gentle bay at the bend of the river, and the nearby fishing boats were hiding in the bay. Due to the high water level, the ship's side has passed the height of the polder, and it can be seen here.

"Which ship to sink, and how?"

"The big iron-hulled ship. Fill it with stones and open it to the gap. ”

The situation is critical, and there is nothing to negotiate. The colonel immediately ordered someone to be sent over there, and if it couldn't be opened, it should be pulled over with a cable. At this time, there was a villager who blocked the way of this group of soldiers: "The People's Liberation Army, you can't sink that ship, that's my family's boat, and the debt borrowed last year has not been repaid!"

The colonel stepped forward: "Fellow, I'm sorry, I need to requisition your boat in an emergency, you can rest assured that the people's government will compensate you." ”

The villager suddenly knelt on the ground, hugged the colonel's leg and cried, "No! That is the lifeblood of my family, and you must not sink it...... Unless you kill me first...... Sink another ship. ”

The colonel's face sank and he said something that made everyone frightened: "The guards dragged him out and killed him!"

The rushing warriors had no weapons, only pickaxes and shovels in their hands, and certainly no guns. But the guard standing next to the colonel was armed with a pistol. As soon as this order was issued, the guard immediately drew his gun, and at the same time, two soldiers carried the villager away like chickens. I didn't hear the gunshot, and after a while I saw the guard running back.

The colonel asked, "How?"

The guard replied: "The is all pulled into the crotch of the pants, and the person has already fainted in fright." ”

Although I was standing far away, I could clearly hear the conversation on the embankment. When the townsfolk came out to stop them, the other warriors ran over and drove the boat over, unheeded. At this time, someone came to report: "What should I do if the sky ship has no stones?"

At this time, there was no need for the village chief to speak, and the colonel pointed to a village not far from the embankment with his hand: "Demolish the house!"

Demolition of the house, demolition of whose house? All the villagers were silent, especially the people in this village, who looked at the colonel's hand with fear, not knowing whose house he would point to. After seeing it clearly, I felt that many people breathed a sigh of relief, and the colonel's hand was referring to the most beautiful two-story building in the village - that was the village council.

Nowadays, if you go to a township, the most beautiful buildings you see are often the most dilapidated buildings of the township government, and the most dilapidated buildings are often schools. This tradition probably survived in the early nineties. At that time, the countryside was still full of mud walls and thatched houses, and houses with complete bricks and tiles were already owned by wealthy peasant families. The two-story brick building in this village is the most beautiful building in the village, and it is precisely the colonel who wants to demolish the building, take the bricks and load the ship.

Not to mention what I thought, as soon as the colonel's hand pointed, a group of people rushed over. At this time, a squad leader came over and patted me on the shoulder: "The young man lent me a sledgehammer." As he spoke, he took the sledgehammer in my hand and rushed to the village committee.

Most of the equipment in the hands of the soldiers was pickaxes and shovels, which were very convenient for digging pits and carrying sacks, but it was very difficult to use them to demolish houses. It's not fast to smash with a sledgehammer. The soldiers almost broke bricks from the holes in the wall with their hands, and several of them were broken, and I could see clearly from a distance.

The flood is merciless, and time is life. There are still soldiers throwing sacks on the embankment, and it may not last long. Behind the embankment are the homes of more than 100,000 villagers. At this time, I didn't know where the impulse came from, and I rushed in the direction of the village committee. The soldiers were digging the wall and fetching bricks, and the other team was very neat in transporting the dismantled bricks and stones to the ships, which was too slow. When I rushed over, two fighters seemed to want to stop me: "Don't come here, fellow, let's just come!"

I ignored it, but rushed over with my head bowed and my arms in front of one of the walls of the village committee. The people around me were dumbfounded for a moment -- what did this kid want to do? Hit the wall at this time to commit suicide? I didn't have time to explain to them the mental method of transporting the wall-breaker and breaking through the wall and leaving a lot of bricks and stones in his wake. Rushed into the house without stopping, kicked down a table, two chairs broke out of the wall on the other side, and left a floor of masonry and stone.

At this time, I heard an officer shouting: "Why don't you take the opportunity to transport bricks and load the ship!"

I rushed left and right, and the office building of the village committee was smashed into a hornet's nest by me. At this time, I heard the officer shouting: "Don't go in, fellow, go farther—the building is about to collapse!"

Hearing this, I hurriedly ran away, and not long after I left, the two-story building collapsed! After the building collapsed, I also sat on the ground and felt a little dizzy - I had not closed my eyes for three days and two nights, and I felt that it was very expensive to use this wall-breaking man's kung fu continuously.

The qualities of military men are really different from ordinary people. I "demolished" this small building through the wall continuously, although everyone was surprised, no one stopped to ask me, but moved the bricks and loaded the ship as quickly as planned, and everyone was not in any confusion. Soon the ship was full of waterlines, and it was almost to the side of the ship.

The colonel commanded: "Who will go up and sink the ship when the ship is driven to the breach?"

The township chief grabbed the colonel again: "You don't need to send someone to sink the ship, it's too dangerous." Pull the boat upstream of the gap, and it will drift down the river itself. In the place of the breach, as soon as the current turns, such a sinking ship will capsize on its own. ”

The local townsman was already very experienced with this kind of thing, and he was right. Drove the boat to the breach, not far upstream, and the servicemen on board were pulled back to the embankment by cables. The boat followed the current and rushed to the breach. At the gap, it was hit horizontally, and then the telephone pole was in gear, and the whole turned on its side, and a boatload of masonry was buckled at the gap, and the water flow was immediately blocked. The straw bales and sacks in the hands of the soldiers on both sides filled the gap like raindrops, and the gap was finally blocked!

The gap was closed, but the danger on the embankment did not end. The rain was still falling, the wind was still blowing, and people quickly dispersed to various places to rescue the emergency. Everyone seems to have forgotten me sitting on the ground far away. I sat on the ground and gasped, looked up and drank a few sips of rainwater, but I was suddenly stunned, I forgot to close my mouth wide, and looked at the sky fixedly!

I saw that the clouds were rolling in the sky in front of me, but the clouds were not jet black, but like white waves. Between the white clouds and waves, there is a long thing that disappears from time to time!

I saw with all my eyes that it was a white dragon! I had never seen a real dragon, but I was sure that what I saw was a dragon! The long-bearded fishtail python and eagle claws appeared in the clouds, exactly like the dragon in the usual sculptures and paintings. If anything, there is no pair of antlers on this dragon's head. Since there is no reference in the sky, it is difficult for me to judge the size of this dragon, and from my point of view, it used to be at least twenty or thirty meters long.

Now I can see a lot of weird things in the world, because I've seen enough of them myself. But at this time, I was still stunned when I saw a dragon! I saw this white dragon shuttling through the clouds, and from time to time tearing and roaring. Seeing its movements, I felt that the sound of the wind on all sides became the roar of this dragon. I looked down at the embankment in front of me, and saw that the wind and waves seemed to be rising and falling with the dragon's movements. The white dragon seemed to struggle in the clouds, and the wind and waves struggled in front of the embankment. Look at the direction that the dragon is facing is the Liqiaowei embankment in front of me!

Just as I saw the dragon, the dragon seemed to see me sitting on the ground! it looked up in my direction and roared silently. The wind suddenly became stronger, and the waves rolled towards the embankment layer by layer, and this wind was very strange, mixed with a very strong fishy smell!

God, how did such a thing come out of the sky? Could it be that this flood has anything to do with it? I looked at the soldiers and civilians on the embankment not far away, struggling with the wind and waves, and couldn't help but ask, "Do they know that they are facing a dragon?" Can this Liqiaowei embankment be defended?"

Just as I was looking at the embankment, there was a communications soldier carrying a burden and a pentagonal antenna on it, holding a microphone-like object in his hand and handing it to the colonel in command. The colonel took the microphone, his face became quite gloomy, and his tone of voice became angry.

I felt something was wrong, and I was far away from him listening to what he was saying.

"What? That's what it was ordered?...... If the water can't go down, give up Liqiaowei?...... Be prepared to abandon Liqiao Wei for flood diversion and water storage at any time?...... But what about these hundreds of thousands of villagers? How can I explain it to them?...... The downriver Tianmen Wei is also dangerous?......? How about Kampar?...... I learned to keep Campbell at all costs...... Rest assured, I know what to do!"

The sound was choppy, but I understood what it meant. In the face of flooding, it is not only Liqiaowei that faces the flood, but the whole line on both sides of the Qingyi River is in an emergency. Considering the overall situation, we must first hold the downstream Jinbaowei at all costs!

Jinbaowei is the largest large wei in Wucheng. It has a long history, and was first repaired by Zhou Tai, the general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms, and Sun Quan, the young lord, when they were amassing troops in Wucheng. Although Liqiao Wei is not small, most of the area of Liqiao Township is in the Wei, but Jinbaowei is even larger, and there are three complete townships in the Wei District. It is the most important agricultural base in Wucheng since ancient times, and the water and soil are the most fertile! It is said that as long as Jinbaowei is not broken by the great floods over the years, the grain and rice it produces are enough for the entire Wucheng to survive the disaster year, and the importance of its status can be imagined! In the history of more than 1,700 years, the number of times Jinbaowei has broken the Weiwei is only a handful, and the most recent one was the great flood of the Republic of China in 1931. It is said that that year was miserable not only in Wucheng, but also in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Jinbaowei is located outside the confluence of the three rivers of the lower reaches of the Qingyi River and the Shuiyang River, which was originally an alluvial plain with fertile land. There is also a more important polder up the Qingyi River, that is, Tianmen Wei, the area of Tianmen Wei is a little larger than Liqiao Wei, on the other side of the river more than 20 miles downstream of Liqiao Wei. The Qingyi River has taken a zigzag between these two weis. Listen to the order that the colonel received on the phone, if the downstream can't stand it, give up Liqiao Wei, divide the flood and store water, if you can't stand it, you can even give up Tianmen Wei, in short, you must defend Jinbaowei.

Standing on the high plane of the overall situation, this is a trade-off between the importance of interests, but from the perspective of the villagers of Liqiao Township, what they want to give up is all their homes! This is the cruel reality! I did not expect this situation to be so complicated. Some people have just given up the fishing boats, and some villages have abandoned the office building of the village committee just to defend the embankment in front of them. Now we are facing another problem, and this hard-fought embankment may be abandoned again!

What should I do? Can this be avoided? I looked up at the white wyvern in the sky -- if this flood was brought by it, is there any way to subdue this dragon? What should I do? I know the Dao, but I can't fly to the sky, and I can't fight this dragon. The thought of fighting the dragon suddenly occurred to me, two people and one thing.

These two people, one is the grandmaster of Zhengyi, the ancestor of Zhengyi, and the other is the wind gentleman. That thing is the black Ruyi in the hands of the Wind Gentleman. According to Feng Junzi, Patriarch Zhengyi once slayed a dragon in the Yangtze River, made a black ruyi with a dragon bone refiner, and sealed the soul of the black dragon in it. In this way, it is possible for the masters of the cultivation world in the world to subdue the flying dragon, but is there such a person in the present generation? Even if there is, where is it now?

As I was thinking, someone behind me spoke: "Ishino, I'm looking for you, it's almost okay, it should be in time!"

When I looked back, I saw a mud monkey, and then I looked closely, it was not a mud monkey, but a wind gentleman covered in mud. There were now only men around the embankment, and there were only two kinds of men - shirtless and uniformed, and the only one in front of him who wore both shirts and not uniforms. The appearance of the wind gentleman came from nowhere, and his whole body was covered in muddy water, standing a little trembling in the heavy rain, but his expression was relatively calm. He was carrying a canvas satchel that I had never seen him use, and now it was covered in mud.

"Why are you here, Gentleman of the Wind? I just thought of it...... Black Ruyi...... Look at the heavens!"

As I spoke, I stood up, and the Wind Gentleman came over and grabbed my hand, and whispered, "Use it with magical powers." Then he looked up at the sky, his face was heavy, and he didn't speak for a long time, presumably he also saw the white dragon in the sky.

The situation was urgent, and I didn't rush to ask him how he found here, and then found me, but asked, "You see that dragon? That's a dragon?...... Does the water have anything to do with it?...... Is there a way?"

"That's what I'm here for!" replied the Wind Gentleman in a deep voice. As he spoke, he let go of my hand and took out a black object from his bag - it was Hei Ruyi. He took a few steps forward with a black ruyi in his hand and walked into the ruins in front of him - it was the half-demolished village committee building. The ruins blocked the sight in the distance, and I saw him standing still, holding his hand to the sky, shaking it to the sky, and shouting: "Big old black! Xiao Erhei! You come out to the sky and force that little white!"
