Chapter 447: Flooded Fan County

People in Hong County want to occupy Jinghu, but the fishermen in Fan County naturally disagree. This lake is owned by the two counties. Why do you want to occupy Hong County? Besides, these fishermen have made a living for generations. Suddenly, they will not let fish. What should I do? Farm? I can’t swallow this!

The fishermen in Fan County have their own villages, with clans as the main one. Most of the villages are in-laws and have strong folk customs. After several failures in theory, they have to force their boats out, and they have to compete with the people in Hong County.

Someone dissuaded him and said that such a major event would be better reported to the county and his parents would handle it. Hong County was unreasonable and could win the lawsuit anywhere.

However, the patriarch said that in order to avoid suspicion, Hong County deliberately made this a dispute between the township party. If it complained at both ends, it would be difficult for the Chief Fan County to make it even more embarrassing. At present, famines are everywhere, so we should not cause trouble. With our own strength, we will fight back the group of fishermen and lake bandits in Hong County. At that time, no one dares to fart!

In this way, both sides held weapons and fought fiercely on Jinghu several times, regardless of their superiority. Both sides suffered damage, but they refused to give in.

Soon, this incident alarmed the government. The county magistrate of Fan County brought people to negotiate several times, but it was fruitless. The fishermen on both sides fought each other and had already suffered deaths. The situation became more and more serious and it was almost impossible to end. The county magistrate of Fan County was also ready to report and let the court come to mediate.

However, the situation was already chaotic at that time, and life was like grass. How could the court have time to pay attention to the dispute between the people of the two counties? The memorial was held for many days, and there was no time to wait for a response. But at this time, the situation could no longer be controlled. The scope of the battle was wider and wider, and almost all the villages and towns near Jinghu were involved. Fighting often happened, and martial fighting was staged every day. However, after a long time, the two sides were always evenly matched, and it was just a war of attrition. The people who were already suffering from famine were evenly affected this time.

But at this moment, somehow, Hong County suddenly retreated for more than ten miles a day, and seemed to have to give up Jinghu and admit defeat from then on. Although the people in Fan County did not know why the people in Hong County did this, they were very happy. After all, they had a dispute for several months, and at least they had an ending.

Unexpectedly, it was raining rain that day and night, and the lake water flooded. The usual calm lake water broke through the lake embankment like a hideous beast. In the darkness and without everyone's precautions, it not only flooded all the fishing villages along the lake area of ​​Fan County, but also took advantage of the opportunity to pounce on Fan County, destroying large areas of farmland, houses, villages, and towns. Tens of thousands of victims suffered from this flood, and even the entire Fan County was soaked in the flood. Countless casualties were killed and injured.

Three days later, the flood slowly receded. People who cleaned up their homes were surprised to find that the flood did not retreat back to Jinghu, but rushed out of another waterway and diverted to the west. Later, it actually flowed into another ditch that had already dried up and became the water in the river. The famine in the several counties along the river was greatly alleviated due to this water.

At that time, this became a world-renowned news. A lake water rushed out of the lake embankment, destroyed along the way, and forced a waterway to open, and finally rushed into another river. Is this still a flood? This is simply a major migration of lake water.

It is precisely because of this last point that people can't understand it that it is so secretive that the rebuilt Fan County recorded this disaster in the county annals, but only a few words were spoken, just because no one dared to record it in detail, for fear of causing disaster on his own.

Fan County has suffered heavy damage since that disaster. After more than ten years of hard work to rebuild, it has barely recovered, but its vitality has been severely damaged and there is no longer the prosperity scene before.

Uncle Xia Bing said this in one breath and then came to an abrupt end, licking his lips with unfulfilled feelings.

Fan Chou and others heard it, and although this story is not as thrilling as ghosts and gods, it sounds unsatisfactory and immersive as it sounds. Especially in the end, the lake exploded, and finally changed its course to save other county towns. This is simply unimaginable. Even after exhausting Wan Chou's head, he could not think of such strange stories in the world.

However, Wanchou asked: "Uncle, this story is pretty good, but what does this have to do with the City God you just mentioned?"

Uncle Xia Bing smiled mysteriously and said, "This incident seems to be just a natural disaster and man-made disaster on the surface, but no one can investigate the real cause clearly. There are many folk hermits who have visited Fan County to investigate, but they all returned without success. However, this strange thing has become a major strange case in that era. Because there is a reason to divert the river water, but this lake water is an inner lake, which is indecisive at all, but it has rushed out of the lake embankment and fled. Do you think this is possible?"

Wanchou thought about it and said, "What do you mean is that this matter has something to do with the City God? But doesn't the City God protect one area of ​​peace? How could it harm the people but lead the lake to other places to rescue the famine?"

Uncle Xia Bing still didn't mention the City God, but asked: "Do you know where Fan County was now?"

"I guess, eight out of ten are our Fan City!" Fan Cho guessed that when Uncle Xia Bing mentioned the lake just now, he thought that Fan County in the story is probably the small town he lives in, Fan City.

"Hahaha, I guess it's right. Our name is Fan City. More than a hundred years ago, it was called Fan County. Since the large influx of population back then, it gradually formed a scale later. The county became a city. But this word Fan has been used to this day. Do you know why?"

Uncle Xia Bing seemed to like guessing riddles very much, but this time Feng Chou shook his head: "I don't know this. In fact, I have been wondering why we call such a strange name, Fan, what does it mean? Is it the same surname as me?"

"Haha, you guessed it right again. Fan Shi came because of his surname, but do you know who this surname refers to?"

Fan Chou smiled bitterly and said, "Who is it? It's not me anyway. If you have something to say, just say it. We are not talking about it, and we don't want to leave buttons..."

Bajie came over and said, "I understand the old man's words. Do you mean that this person with the surname Fan was the one who made contributions to Fan County back then, or a honest and honest official. In order to commemorate him, everyone took the surname Fan as the county name?"
