Chapter 52 The Great Water
Ye Wan stood on the high slope of the valley, thinking about the words of the people who were just crazy just now.
She looked at the towns and towns far below. The people who were still making trouble just now seemed dejected and walked towards their town with no hope of loneliness. A helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Duan Hongyang asked just now that they were hiding to a high place, what should the people below do? Ye Wan said that those who were willing to go up the mountain with them for a few days would follow them, and those who were unwilling to go back to their homes. In the end, only a few people gritted their teeth and would rather believe in their presence than follow them up the mountain.
The rest were all suspicious and resentful about the Zhenxi Army. They would rather believe that Eunuch Feng had no malice towards them than believe what the Zhenxi Army said.
Perhaps only when you see them with your own eyes will you know that the ones who really want to protect them are these enemies, not those court officials who have privately taught them.
"That's their own choice, they have to bear the consequences themselves." Chu Hui stood beside her and gently touched Ye Wan's head. She was still stained with some dust on her body because of the road, and she looked a little embarrassed. "If you are tired, take a rest. Do you want me to hold you to sleep?" He raised his eyebrows high, and there was a rare smirk on his cold face, which was much more vivid than before.
Ye Wan's face tense, and he silently glanced at the heavy soldiers standing behind him, standing, or sitting, with some fatigue on his face. But the same thing is that they stared at this place with a burning eyes, as if they had to try their best to put General Chu and Brother Ye into their mouths. "No, no, I'm not tired." Ye Wan's body was filled with the aura of being unavailable. She was not so thick-skinned, and she wanted her to lean in Chu Hui's arms in front of so many people... It was terrible to think about it.
Duan Hongyang blinked his own little eyes, which he thought was very big, and he leaned against Brother Ye, thinking that if Brother Ye couldn't help but rely on Brother Chu's tyranny, he would really rely on his arms... Duan Hongyang must be the first to scream to express his aggrievance as a peony dog.
Ye Wan: "..." She glanced at Duan Hongyang indifferently, and quietly moved a step away from Chu Hui to prevent the beast from being stimulated and insisted on showing herself in front of her brothers.
"Hmph." Chu Hui hummed in an unknown sense to express his dissatisfaction. Before he could open the corner of his mouth, a sarcastic smile suddenly moved slightly, and his sword eyebrows frowned and twisted into the word "chuan".
His sudden change of expression made Ye Wan feel that something was wrong. He felt a chill spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He felt like something was being taken out of his chest and felt uncomfortable. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Hui with a dim look, and murmured, "Come?" She didn't feel that Chu Hui's hearing and awareness were far better than her. Judging from his appearance, you know that things seemed to be as they expected.
Chu Hui did not speak, his expression calmly, and he pinched Ye Wan's palm calmly. He put his other hand on his lips with his index finger and thumb, and a sharp and crisp boo sounded on his lips, which immediately ran through the entire valley.
The moment the whistle sounded, a hibernating bird flew out from the dense forest behind the cliff and under the valley. The big swallows are not an extremely cold place. Many birds migrated here in winter. At this time, it seemed like they had made an appointment. The sound of wings flapping formed a terrifying flapping sound in the wide valley.
Not only these poor birds were shocked, but also countless soldiers on the cliff behind him, and more than a dozen people who wanted to hide themselves. They mustered up the courage to go against their friends and family, but they didn't really hope to really flood Heping Town... But now it seems that the people in the Western Army were not talking nonsense.
Ye Wan raised his head silently, feeling the tremor that was almost undetectable under his feet, and the subtle rumbling that was faintly and almost inaudible not far away. Feng Ping was never a kind person who was kind and ruthless. He didn't care about the lives and death of the people of Mozhou. He said that he would blow up the dam and release water... He really released water, flooding the west of Mozhou.
"Ye, Brother Ye..." Duan Hongyang swallowed and looked at Zhou Jian beside him. If he hadn't been afraid of being gossiped about being told that he was a broken sleeve or something, he really wanted to come forward and hold Zhou Jian's hand. After living for so long, he had never faced such a man-made "natural disaster".
Now it is not only Chu Hui, who has amazing ears, but also the soldiers and people on the edge of the cliff can feel the terrifying feeling of the earth shaking under his feet, as if nature is constantly roaring, venting his anger and dissatisfaction.
A black shadow jumped from a tree not far away to the edge of the cliff where they were, knelt on one knee, and his voice was filled with ducklings: "Master, the secret guards who went out to help have replied and found a safe place to live." After Danqing reported, he raised his head and blinked at Ye Wan.
"Well." Chu Hui responded lightly, ignoring his little moves. The soldiers of the Western Army went out to help inform the people nearby. Chu Hui and Ye Wan couldn't be worried. But most of them were just ordinary soldiers, not killers who were as skilled as secret guards who could find ways to protect themselves anytime and anywhere. Therefore, people must be sent to keep their eyes on and help, and remind the soldiers when they didn't have time to retreat so that they could retreat on the eve of danger and retain their strength.
In Chu Hui's eyes, thousands of people were not as important as a soldier under his command. I believe that this was the same in Ye Wan's eyes.
"God, my god..." The tremor under their feet became more and more serious, as if a big hand was grabbing the cliff under their feet and swaying left and right. The crowd avoiding the cliff was like a spoon of vegetables in a wok. What greeted them seemed to be a disaster that was overwhelming.
Ye Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, his ears trembled constantly, and he heard a subtle scream from all directions. With panic, helplessness, helplessness and confusion that would never appear for a long time.
The sound was not loud, but Ye Wan could hear it carefully one by one.
In the distance, a grey thing was coming at an extremely fast level. Wherever it could be seen, the trees and houses disappeared in an instant as if they were sucked into a cloud of fog. The water that rushed down with an unstoppable momentum was two points higher than the pine trees planted outside the township, ruthless and swift.
"What is that!" Under the cliff, some people pointed to the flood that was approaching in front of them in an instant and shouted wildly. Some of them left the temporary garrison where the Zhenxi Army was located and were still wandering in the township. Before they could go back home, they were blinded by the sudden flood. They didn't know how to act well for a while.
"The mountain torrent is here, the mountain torrent is really here!" They kept screaming in surprise.
A young man with a more flexible mind hurriedly grabbed the big branches beside him and climbed up. He didn't have time to find the trees and grabbed something nearby, in case he was not careful, he would be washed away by the flood. In the event of mountain torrents, the most taboo thing is not not to know how to swim. Even if you can swim in such a big water, it would not be of great use. The most taboo is to go with the flow, unable to find a high object, and being washed away by the flood, and it may scratch stones, houses, tree branches and other objects to death at any time.
But they were still one step late after all, and did not immediately hear what Ye Wan said to find a high place to protect themselves.
Zhen Yuli was on the edge of the cliff, looking sharply at the old man who was still talking to him just now. His reaction was slower than that of ordinary people, and his movements were slower than that of ordinary people. Before he could react, he was flooded by the flood that rushed in front of him in an instant.
He believed that the court would never take their food at will, and would never ruin one of the people in Mozhou. But now he did not even leave a single last word and disappeared in this flood.
Zhen Yu's hand climbing the cliff tightened slightly. Even at this time, he had no hope that the following people who did not listen to the advice would die. They were all the people of the Great Swallow, who would be more noble than who? He was very regretful, and his thoughts were just: Why didn't he persuade the old man a few more words just now, and why didn't he just take him away?
How could the people who had no power to resist the flood, how could they resist the attack of Zhenxi Army? As long as they were tougher... maybe the lives of these people would be saved.
"Wuwu, if we had known that such a thing would really happen, we should have brought them together decisively..." A young man choked up and lay on the edge of the cliff to see his hometown where he was located suddenly turned into a vast ocean, crying so hard that he couldn't help himself.
Young people have a much higher ability to accept than the elderly, and their understanding of right and wrong is stronger than older people. Therefore, when facing the invitation of Zhenxijun to go up the mountain to avoid mountain torrents, if you hesitate, you can think through the problem and how to choose.
"Fortunately, it's okay, but we didn't blindly obsessed with the court, but firmly believed in the right choice in our hearts, and did not lead to anything that would regret for the rest of our lives..." A woman and child were still holding a baby in his hand. She also considered the child in her arms, so she resolutely followed her friends up the mountain regardless of the criticism and rolling eyes. Her expression was filled with a hint of regret in her gratitude, as if she was sad that she was not stronger and dissuaded others.
The soldiers of Zhenxi Army were all silent, watching the surging "mountain torrents" that continued to rush towards the downstream area, unable to speak.
The Mozhou dam is extremely large and requires a lot of water. It was built in the upper reaches of Wujiang to store water to deliver water to various parts of the north during the drought period. It was a dam that Yao Shangshu applied to Emperor Zhaoyang for supervision when he was just serving as the Minister of Works. Over the years, many people have helped the entire drought in the north. It is also the reason why Shangshu Yao, a mute who has not had a high emotional intelligence and can only focus on studying the mechanism and mechanism, has been firmly in the position of Shangshu for so many years.
Now this dam has become a nightmare for the people downstream of Mozhou. It can store water, and there are so many destroyed towns and villages. In an instant, all the houses that carry the memories of many people over the past decades are cleaned up. Those larger cities are fine, and the houses are built high and strong, but some of the towns and towns here are mostly wooden and soil, and even straw is covered on the roofs... Under the ruthless water, even the traces of the houses are invisible, as if they have never appeared on this land.
The flood came and went quickly, or it should be said that it flooded the Heping Town in the valley below without any precautions, and then rushed to the next plot. They did not have the opportunity to see it here, so they could only wait until the water retreated before contacting their brothers in various places downstream.
Looking at the flood that flooded the houses deep down to the waist and the people who were missing outside, Zhen Yu felt very powerless. He lowered his head, clenched his fists and beat the ground with resentment: "Feng Ping!" What a crazy person who would joke with the people of the entire Mozhou in order to eliminate their army in the town of the West!
