044. The test of human nature

Within the scope of his ability, the Lord of Atu City has been quite decisive in dealing with the matter. According to Lu Zhong's warning, not only the people of the villages must be relocated, but also everyone in the city wall.

According to the laws of the Ba Kingdom, the city wall granary must store enough grain for a year in good years to prepare for the needs of famine. A Tu himself stayed in the city wall to sit in command, but sent the warehouse master to move all the grain to the west.

They reached a high place in the boundary mountain and were escorted by a small military formation led by the Second Military Division.

The mission of the second building is not only to escort the stored grain, but also to establish temporary camps to organize and resettle the people after the disaster. Two entire city patrol formations have been sent to various places, and there is only a small team of seven sergeants left around the second building, and

There are not many people around the city lord.

Huwa said: "The person who warned the flood in the sky before was Lord Lu Zhong, the leader of the Chongchen Tribe of China. This flood is unprecedented, like a tidal wave of ferocious beasts biting people. The entire Lower Realm City will be swallowed up, and every village will be swallowed up."

The nearby high hills will also be swept by huge waves, and no one will be spared.

I hold the Divine Sword of Zhenguo to convey Bajun's order to levy all the people west of Pishui, whether old or young, if they have not yet moved to the heights of the Western Boundary Mountain, they will all arrive at the city gate within seven days and wait for the city lord's dispatch. This is for wartime.

Anyone who fails to come after the order and obstructs the emperor's order will be punished by imprisonment."

A Tu: "When will the flood arrive? With such a monstrous disaster, even the city walls are not immune. Why did Master Peng Keng order all the people west of Pi Shui to reach the city walls within seven days?"

Huwa: "The flood will arrive in seven days. There are experts who can temporarily stop it west of Pi River. I will give you another three months to organize the people in Pi City to move to the heights of the West Boundary Mountain..."

The conversation between Huwa and Atu City Lord was heard by all the people in the city. Huwa had his own immortal magical power that could spread his voice to all places. At the same time, he cast a spell to spread Atu's voice. He directly gave the order to let this person

A city lord was asked to carry out the task, and within seven days all the people on the west bank of Pishui who had not yet been relocated were gathered into the city walls, and then three months were given to move all the people away.

When migrating, you are only allowed to bring three things, which are food, clothing, and various tools and agricultural tools used for logging and clearing land. The city lord uniformly dispatches various vehicles and livestock pulling the carts, and the leaders of each tribe and local officials also have to

Abandon all valuables and other belongings. Anyone who violates this will also be punished by jail.

By then, those who fail to carry out orders on the east bank of Pishui can be imprisoned on the spot; but now, those on the west bank who refuse to evacuate in time will no longer care whether they will be punished by the city lord, as they will definitely die by then.

Huwa revealed his identity and spread his conversation with the city lord throughout the country. The situation was indeed different. People who had not yet evacuated got up and rushed to the east bank of Pishui. Pishui is a river that originates in the mountains of the West Boundary and flows from the north to

It merges into the river in the south, and there is only one bridge on the river. This bridge seemed very crowded for a while.

Many people brought not only the three things mentioned in the order, but a lot of pots and jars. The nobles also organized slaves to seize the time to transport large quantities of goods. After a few days, a large number of people were stranded at the bridgehead. Huwa also did not

Pay attention to it, because they have to move after arriving at the city wall. Let the city lord be responsible for the specific implementation of the decree. How to organize and punish them is also the city lord's responsibility.

Huwa just threw the bamboo stick onto the water and turned it into another wider bridge, which allowed people on the west bank to reach the east bank at least within seven days. The bamboo stick must be transformed into a bridge with the magic of the immortal family. After all, Huwa is

A true immortal, although his magical power is still weak, he can still build a bridge on the skin and water with his sacred bamboo stick for seven consecutive days.

The villages west of Pishui gradually became empty, but a few people stayed quietly. They were originally walking at the back of the teams in various places, hiding in hidden places and not moving forward when others were unprepared. There were also some people who had already

After moving to the west boundary mountain, he also quietly went down the mountain and entered a nearby village.

People who went down the mountain came back to "get things". They left in a hurry and didn't have time to bring many daily necessities. Now that I heard that there are still a few days until the flood arrives, I wanted to go down the mountain to get more. I wanted to return to my home.

The village may be a little far away, but that doesn't matter, all the people in the nearby villages have already left.

Since nothing will be left behind after the flood passes, take as much as you can now. After entering the village and searching, I found a lot of valuable belongings. People who originally just wanted to take some ordinary daily necessities,

They couldn't help but change their minds, and grabbed as much time as possible to search for as much wealth as possible.

As for those who deliberately walked to the end of the team and then stayed quietly, they planned to search for valuables in nearby villages from the beginning. Of course, they did not plan to follow the large team across the river, but walked north while searching for valuables in the villages along the way.

, planning to run up the Western Boundary Mountain before the flood comes.

How many things can one person carry? Often after searching for a batch of goods, more valuable items are found in the next place, and one batch is thrown away and replaced with another batch. This continues all the way, and the things carried on the body become heavier and heavier.

.

The more remote and wild the land, the more simple the folk customs are. However, with the rise of farming civilization and the establishment of city walls, the more rare and valuable goods there are, the more people have desires. These selfish thoughts are not innate.

They cannot see it because they have not experienced many tests.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the people still obeyed the orders of Master Peng Keng and the Lord of Atu City. More importantly, the Lord of Atu City had sent officials at all levels, government servants, and city patrol formations to various parts of the city, and new orders were issued.

Afterwards, these people organized and implemented it on the spot and led teams to urge people to move, so it was very efficient.

The city lord has ordered that no one in the villages is allowed to turn back before arriving at the designated place. This is mainly to maintain order. If someone remembers that they have something left and goes back to get it, the people in the villages behind will

With a steady stream of people coming, the roads will be congested and there is no guarantee that everyone can cross the river on time.

Those who stayed quietly and those who ran back from the mountain privately were actually violating the orders announced by the city lord during the state of emergency, but no one could control them at this moment.

Seven days later, the embankment on the east bank of Pishui was full of people. Although the city lord ordered everyone to gather in the city walls to wait for the next unified arrangement, many people still ran out. Lord Peng Keng said that the flood would occur in seven days

The flood was approaching, and it was such a shocking flood. Everyone wanted to come and see what was going on. Even the military formation patrolling the city couldn't stop it because there were too many people.

Some people can't believe that this kind of thing can really happen, and they must see it with their own eyes before they give up. Many others have thought of another question. Since the west bank of Pishui is not immune, how can a river stop the flood? They

I want to know what method Master Peng Keng will use to stop the monstrous flood he claims.

There were many people who had just crossed the bridge and arrived at the east bank. They were resting there to catch their breath, and turned to look back at the west bank. There was only the last bullock cart left on the east bank road, and the driver was a middle-aged fat man who was struggling.

The cow was driving the cow with a whip. The cow was foaming at the mouth and staggering around. It looked like it was almost exhausted.

This middle-aged fat man has a high status in a certain tribe. He has accumulated a lot of valuables in private, and they are all loaded on this bullock cart. The things on the cart are too heavy, so he walks very slowly, and he

Because they were walking, my wife and son had already crossed the river first with the group of people. There were sergeants guarding the bridge, and once people came over, they could not go back.

Standing on the shore of Pishui, you can see the majestic mountains of the Western Wilderness in the distance, and the river spiraling down from the valleys between the mountains. Although you can see it, it is still a long, long way to get there. Viewed by all the people

In the middle, someone suddenly let out an uncontrollable exclamation, and on the peaks on both sides of the river where the river rushed out, a large trace of white flowers suddenly appeared.

From a very far distance, it looked like an overwhelming herd of sheep rushing down from the mountain. But in Huwa's eyes, it was not a herd of sheep, but an overwhelming flood that surged through the mountain col, breaking trees, hitting rocks, and rolling up

One huge wave after another. The "sheep" soon rushed to the plain, like a monster that devoured everything. The people on the east bank of Pi Shui gradually heard the sound.

At first, the sound was like the wind blowing on the trees in the mountains, making a roar; then it was like thousands of horses galloping, with the sound of hooves intertwined; and finally it gradually became the rolling thunder in midsummer. The flood was getting closer and closer, and people could already see it.

The huge overwhelming surge caused the river to disappear. The entire plain was swept across by the rushing waves, and the river embankment underfoot trembled slightly.

All the villages along the way were washed away, and even the so-called hills on the plain were swept over by the waves. Not even a tree could be left. People were deeply afraid. If they had not been able to move in time, they might even be dead.

They can no longer be found.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted near the bridgehead on the east bank: "Everyone, run!" He turned around and ran towards the city wall, and then some people followed him and turned around and ran away. Because the flood was already very close, looking at the surging sky

On the wave, I heard the rolling thunder, felt the ground beneath my feet shaking, and the river in front of me seemed unstoppable.

Immediately afterwards, a loud shout was heard. The man who took the lead in shouting and ran at the front was beheaded by General Erdong of the City Guards Division. The general said in a voice like thunder: "Everyone must abide by the order. Do not conflict at will, causing trouble."

Anyone who messes up must be killed!... Lord Peng Keng is here, and since he wants everyone to evacuate to the east bank of Pi Shui to avoid disaster, he will definitely be able to keep all the people safe!"

General Erdong was so fierce. He stood in the middle of the road with a bloody long knife, like a murderer, frightening the crowd who had just started chaos at the bridge. On the east bank of Pishui, especially around the two bridges, people gathered

There were so many people, including men, women, old and young. They didn't obey the city lord's orders and wanted to watch the fun, and the second building general couldn't stop them.

But if everyone swarmed back at this moment, there would be chaos on such a narrow road, and many people would be trampled to death by pushing and trampling. General Erdong was decisive and stopped this situation as soon as possible.

If it were another situation, he wouldn't have to kill anyone, but at this moment he had to take control of the situation immediately.

Those who ran back didn't even think about it. If the water could not stop the tide, and according to the force of the flood, even the city walls would be destroyed, how could they have time to run away? More people stood on the river bank and did not move.

Not only because his legs were weak, but also because Mr. Peng Keng was in mid-air, stepping on a white auspicious cloud.

With Huwa's prestige in Pakistan, no one dares to disbelieve his words, especially now, because this unprecedented flood is really coming. Then Mr. Peng Keng once said that we can evacuate to the east bank of Pishui

If you avoid disaster, you should be fine. Huwa's voice immediately reached everyone's ears in time: "Don't panic, the flood will not be able to cross the water for at least three months."

Huwa also deliberately turned his head and glanced down at the second building standing in the middle of the bridge road. This man was originally a general of the Academy Guards. He gave the impression that he was a good old man who was obedient and would not offend anyone on weekdays. It is no wonder, Xuexue Palace

The disciples of the palace are either rich or noble, and even the students who study with him are from extraordinary backgrounds. He can't afford to offend anyone, and even if he feels cowardly, he doesn't dare to make a sound.

But ever since he held the Kingdom-Suppressing Divine Sword given by Huwa and beheaded Geng Liang, an unfaithful disciple of the clan, in front of the palace, his whole spirit and spirit have completely changed, as if he had undergone a transformation. He had just been in public.

Although killing is cold, it is absolutely effective and necessary in this situation.

Seeing the huge flood rushing towards us, a woman cried out at the bridge: "Run!... Go help him and save him!"

The flood had arrived, but the bullock cart had not yet crossed the bridge. The fat middle-aged man in the cart had already seen the bridge and the crowds on the other side of the river. He also turned around and saw the huge flood. He was so frightened that his legs were weak and he could not get on the bullock cart.

He stood up and whipped the cow like crazy, but the cow couldn't run anymore, foaming at the mouth and could only move forward step by step.

The woman must be his wife. She was crying and kicking and tearing at the soldiers in front of her. The patrol army was ordered to stand in a row at the two bridges on the east bank, with their backs facing the source of the flood. They were not moving at all. They were sent to the villages.

After the sergeant returned, General Erdong also rushed back and gathered the military formation on the spot to maintain order at the bridgehead.

Except for some movement here, along the east bank of Pishui, almost everyone did not move or speak, because they were stunned by the huge waves like mountains. But there were many other things rushing around.

They were wild animals such as snakes and rats that fled in panic. Many of them swam frantically across the river from the west bank and fled like a tide to the wilderness on the east bank.

Huwa suddenly heard Chong Bogun's voice: "Fengxian Lord immediately put away the artifact and gathered all his strength to help me at any time."

There are two bridges, one large and one small, on the skin. The wide bridge was made of the bamboo stick dropped by Huwa, and it was instantly put away. The bullock cart was smashed into pieces by the huge waves that came quickly, and the people on the car were smashed into pieces.

The man and the cart of goods disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chong Bogun finally threw the Silk Pearl from the clouds.

Except for Huwa, no one could clearly see Chong Bogun's movements, and no one knew about his existence. All they saw was a long embankment rising instantly along the west bank of Pishui. This embankment grew in the wind and stretched across the river.

Arriving at Duanjiang City on the other side, it then turned a corner to connect with the mountains of Xihuang. It grew taller and wider at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a mountain range. (~^~)
