The surging flood water inundated the embankment.

The rune beads to avoid water are only used during construction.

Most of the time, the water that swept across the embankment turned into countless turbid white waves, raging above the stumps and rocks exposed to the lake.

The progress of the embankment is not slow, and the embankment built in the lake has been extended for more than 100 meters.

Firmly stepped on the soft shore of the lake, squeezed away the mossy mud, and the greasy black and green juice spilled onto the back of the shoes.

There is a pair of hands crossed and hugged in front of the chest.

He looked down at the white waves on the surface of the lake, more than 100 meters long and constantly rolling.

"It's almost March. ”

"Is the tally out?"

Liu Heng, who was standing beside Yougen, crossed his waist with his hands and let out a long sigh in his mouth.

"Six hundred and twenty-one dead, not too many. ”

Hearing this, Yougen frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked up at the sky.

The white sun shone through the thinned clouds and shone on the moor, dispelling the gloom that lingered on the earth.

The rainy season is coming to an end.

"The flood is finally receding. ”

Yougen stretched his brow on his forehead, and his face was lonely.

"Although there is no construction on both sides of the strait, with the current progress, the embankment should be completed this year. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Heng's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled lightly.

"If that's what you say, what's next?"

Hearing this, Yougen pursed his lips and lowered his head in contemplation for a moment.

"You can let the displaced people dig a channel to drain the water, and let the soldiers. to collect millet seeds that can be planted. ”

"After the rain stopped. ”

One of them stretched out his right hand from under his robe.

A hair-like drizzle of rain drips down on the palm of the stretched hand.

The rain ran down the texture of the palm, drenching the skin on the palm and shining in the sun.

"When the dam is cut off, the water in the lake is drained immediately. ”

"Do your best to catch up with this year's winter ploughing. ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng gathered a smile on his face, and after being silent for a moment, he nodded.

"The day of payment is near. I'm going back to Caoyun County and counting the tax grain. ”

"The people of Aomine are coming. ”

Yougen turned his head and looked at Liu Heng with a worried face.

"Alone, okay?"

"Huh. ”

Liu Heng looked self-deprecating and shook his head.

"Although I am the county lord of Caoyun County, in fact, I am not in their eyes. ”

"And, as long as you're here. What will happen to me there?"

Hearing this, Yougen pursed his lips and frowned.

"The county lord. ”

"The heart of defense is indispensable. ”

Hear the words. Liu Heng turned around and faced Yougen.

"Aomine will not give up on the Grass Cloud Domain. ”

"Caoyun County, there will also be a new welcoming person. ”

"We accepted the obligation of tax grain, but we didn't want to make enemies against Qingfeng. ”

Liu Heng's face was calm. deliberately said gently: "With their usual urine, as long as there is no excuse, they will not make a move." ”

Hear the words. Yougen frowned, and after a moment of silence again, nodded.

He turned to face Liu Heng and clenched his hands into fists.

"Well, be careful. ”

Caoyun County City, West Gate.

Walking outside the city gate, scattered people walked towards the city gate.

Most of the people were ragged and unkempt.

Many people are old and weak, and they support each other.

Before the autumn harvest arrived, there was no surplus food in the towns and villages in the region, so the people who suffered from the floods were resettled.

The homeless people had no choice but to trek through mountains and rivers to Caoyun County.

The four people, Shi Naph and Bayu, Monkey Shi and Fu Lei, all wearing robes and hats, led troops to be stationed at the four gates of the county town.

Liu Jun set up several porridge sheds outside each city gate.

The refugees who ate the corn porridge would stay at the city gate for a few days, so that the competent soldiers and soldiers of Liu would select qualified laborers, distribute them to ploughing tools, oxen and millet seeds, and then plough the acres of land outside the city that had been reclaimed by Shi Na and others.

More and more people are in distress, and the thin fields outside the city are no longer enough.

Without runic water, the water beads lose their effectiveness.

The able-bodied laborers who could not be placed in the fields could only try to dig up the turf and clear the land when the rain was sparse.

In fact, the fields they have reclaimed temporarily cannot grow any food at all.

But they are persistent.

Because only the labor of cultivating the land can have steamed buns to eat.

For the rest, you can only drink porridge.

"I've said it many times. ”

Shi Nao held the handle of the porridge spoon in his right hand, and looked at the old man standing in front of the porridge bucket, holding a coarse porcelain bowl in both hands, chattering.

"There are no steamed buns here, only porridge. ”

"And with your body, you really can't farm. ”

"Old man, go there and get in the way, don't get in the way of my work. ”

Hearing this, the old man looked angry, carefully withdrew the porcelain bowl to his chest with one hand, pointed at the stone brain with his free hand, and shouted loudly.

"You kid, why are you so ignorant?!!"

"I've been tending to the fields for decades, so I'm better than those hairy boys!!"

"What do you rely on to work hard all seasons, plant and plant seedlings?"

The old man's face was full of pride, and under the gaze of the naphthaloma, he puffed up his chest, and his voice was full of confidence.

"It's experience!!"

"Whew!"

Shi Naph put down the copper spoon and opened his mouth to spit on the old man's face.

"Don't talk to Lao Tzu about experience!!"

"On farming, the leader of Lao Tzu, you know much more than you!!"

"Get out of here and crouch under the gates!"

"Your old mother!"

The old man hugged the porcelain bowl on his chest and glared angrily.

"You are a handyman who distributes food, why should you order the uncle!"

Hearing this, Shi Nao was stunned.

After half a ring, the stone brain reached out and scratched the back of his head, and smiled bitterly.

"You don't know who I am. ”

"Say it earlier, it's a waste of my saliva. ”

Shi Nao smiled bitterly as he turned his head to look at the soldier standing beside him with a halberd.

"Take him to the city gate and let him squat. ”

Hearing this, the two soldiers, who were holding back their laughter and fully armored, walked quickly to the old man's side.

Two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, caught the old man who immediately shrunk his shoulders and went down honestly, and escorted them to the city gate.

When the old man was escorted away, Shi Nao lowered his head helplessly and reached out and grabbed the handle of the spoon.

"Next. ”

The scorching heat containing water vapor suddenly rushed to the face.

Cinnaphtha looked up sharply, but saw a person.

The man wore a hat woven of withered bamboo, with a black gauze that hung down to his chest.

The man was wearing a black silk robe, and on the back of the robe, a picture of a yin and yang fish was painted.

After half a pillar of incense, the chief of the army in armor met the newcomer in front of the grass house.

The barbarian was silent for a moment, and knelt down very directly.

Six days later, the rain stopped.

Liu Heng, who received the paper crane, ran back to Caoyun County.

Fifteen days later, Liu Heng respectfully took the new greeter and left the granary in the county town.

Qingfeng collected the tax grain, and Liu Heng was safe and sound.

Yougen did not return to Caoyun County, and remained on the shore of the lake where the embankment was built.

A month later, when the flood waters receded, Yougen directed the displaced people to start work day and night, and the progress of the embankment was rapid and fast. (To be continued......)

PS: That, I may have to work overtime tomorrow, only the morning after tomorrow to see if I can make up for it.

Excuse me.

And also.

Thank you again for your support.
