The heavy rain was still falling, and as soon as the door was opened, a strong wind blew in, making a loud banging sound.
Through the lightning, Shen Yuyu discovered that everything he could see was green, but the heavy rain had no tendency to stop at all, and even became heavier and heavier.
Shen Yuyu had never experienced such an emergency situation in her entire life, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"What should I do, Ah Xun? Why did the water suddenly rise so much?" Shen Yuyu hung Ji Xun's neck and was held by his princess. Hearing the heavy rain, lightning and thunder, he was frightened and at a loss.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Ji Xun comforted, standing at the door of the house with water dripping.
In the lightning, I saw several boats rowing past. One of them stopped near the main house, and the other two rowed towards the backyard.
"Your Highness, Princess, get on the boat quickly." Shadow jumped from the boat into the water, tied the cable to the pillar, and tried his best to cover Shen Yuyu with the umbrella in his hand.
"Let me down, Ah Xun, I'm fine." Seeing this, Shen Yue struggled to get down, "I'm not that delicate, you don't need to hold me."
"No, husband, just hold you. Don't soak in the water. The water is very cold. Wrap yourself up in bed to avoid catching the cold." Ji Xun said firmly, freeing up one hand to pick up a stool and put it on the boat, his shadow fixed As they boarded the boat, Ji Xun carried Shen Yuyu onto the boat and sat on a stool, then handed her the umbrella.
Looking at the two men taking care of him like this, Shen Yue felt warm and moved.
The two of them were already soaked through the heavy rain and flood, but their clothes were hardly wet.
"Axun, Brother Shadow, come up quickly, don't get too cold." Shen Yuhu shouted eagerly.
The two responded and quickly got on the boat.
When Shen Yuhu touched Ji Xun's hand, it was as cold as ice, and she quickly opened the quilt and wanted to put it on him.
"No, I'm already soaked. It will only wet the bedding, which will not keep you warm." Ji Xun stopped him in a hurry, then wrapped Shen Yuyu in the bedding tightly and told Shadow, "Hurry up and paddle to higher ground. The terrain over the military camp is high and should not be flooded."
"Yes." The shadow responded and rowed out of the courtyard under the dim light.
Behind them, two boats also rowed out one after another. A Qin, Aunt Yang, and some servants in the mansion all got on the boat and left the flooded yard.
The street has turned into a big river, and in the pouring rain, cries for help can be heard from everywhere.
"The rain won't stop for a while, so we need to organize rescue operations quickly." Ji Xun said urgently.
"People have been sent to Red Flame Camp to report. General Wang Chang will bring people here soon." Shadow quickly replied, "Lin Yi should have already made arrangements with official officials. His Highness and Princess will evacuate first.'
Ji Xun thought for a while and decided that this was all he could do, so the three boats rowed towards the east of the city.
On the way, we rescued several victims who fell into the water, and many more people were trapped on the roof without boats, helplessly asking for help in the heavy rain.
Looking at all this, Shen Yuyu was helpless and anxious, and couldn't help at all. The boat they were traveling on was a very small one, and it would definitely sink if there were too many people in it.
After leaving the city, they continued eastward. On the way, they met Wang Chang and a group of soldiers who had obtained a batch of boats from nowhere and were preparing to enter the city for rescue.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yue felt relieved a lot.
After rowing a long way east, the land began to emerge. Shadow protected Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun off the boat, and then walked for a while in the heavy rain before arriving at the military camp.
After arriving at the military camp, everyone's clothes were completely soaked, including Shen Yuyu, who was shivering from the cold.
After finding clean clothes in the military camp and changing into them, he drank a bowl of ginger soup prepared by the soldiers early in the morning and roasted it for a while before gradually regaining consciousness.
More and more victims gathered in the military camp. Lin Yi and Wang Chang organized officials to transport the victims here. Fortunately, the military camp was large enough to accommodate more victims.
That night, no one fell asleep. Everyone was thinking about the victims inside and outside the city.
By daybreak, the heavy rain finally stopped.
As soon as the rain stopped, Ji Xun took people to Kang'an City to inspect the damage, and Shen Yue also went with him.
Although the rain has stopped, the floods have become increasingly fierce and show no signs of abating.
"Go back." Ji Xun held Shen Yuyu's hand, "There is no boat, and if we go there it will only cause trouble. Why don't we go back to the military camp to discuss how to control the flood."
"Okay." Shen Yuyu followed Ji Xun back to the military camp obediently.
The military camp was crowded with victims, and everyone was extremely anxious.
"Have there been any floods in the past years?" Ji Xun asked. Not long after arriving in Lingzhou, he was busy building a military camp. In addition, the post of Kang'an Prefect was empty. He was also investigating the situation of local officials. During this period, I was also so busy that I was dizzy.
Now there is another flood, which really catches people off guard.
"His Royal Highness Hui Ye Wang, there has never been a flood." An uncle replied, "I don't know why there has been such a big flood this year. It's strange."
Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu were both surprised when they heard this answer.
Generally speaking, floods occur mostly because the terrain is low or close to a river. When it rains heavily, the river water surges, which should be a chronic disease, but people actually say that this has never happened before.
"Isn't there a river in the west of the city? The water has never risen before?" Ji Xun asked strangely.
"Yes, Your Highness the Night King." Someone replied, "The river is wide and big. In the past, no matter how much rain it rained, it would not flood the city. Could it be that it is a 'flood dragon'?"
It is said that "turning a dragon into a dragon" will cause huge floods. The victims looked awe-inspiring and talked among themselves.
Ji Xun didn't believe in such myths and legends, but he was still puzzled. The river that had never swollen suddenly flooded the city. What was the reason for this?
"Don't make wild guesses, everyone. After the flood subsides, I will investigate this matter and completely solve the flood problem." Ji Xun reassured everyone.
It took two days for the flood to completely subside.
Only after the water receded can we see how serious the flood was. Roads were washed away and farmland was filled with sand. It affected two counties and several towns around Kang'an City.
What's even more serious is that the food was soaked in water and turned moldy, causing tens of thousands of victims.
"Ah Xun, I didn't expect the destructive power of the flood to be so great." Looking at the sand-covered road and the messy disaster hospital, Shen Yuyu felt extremely heavy.
"It's okay, my husband will take care of it." Ji Xun gently touched Shen Yuyu's little head and said, "I'll leave the affairs of the house to you. I'll go to the Yamen to take a look." Ji Xun said. Xunbian and Lin Yi left.
Shen Yuyu rolled up his sleeves and led everyone to clean the yard. It took him a whole day to clean up the mud and sand in the yard, and barely restored the yard to its original state. Thanks to the help of dozens of soldiers from the Red Flame Camp.
And on the streets outside, soldiers can be seen everywhere, cleaning the streets and eradicating garbage~~As long as any household needs it, they will take the initiative to help.
I heard that the counties and towns affected by the disaster also sent soldiers from the Red Flame Battalion. After all, they worked hard and quickly won the hearts of the people.
A week later, Kang'an City was roughly restored to its original appearance.
After working in the yamen for so many days, Ji Xun finally dragged his tired body back home in the evening.
"There are so many victims, so we need a lot of money to deal with them." After washing up at night and lying on the bed, Shen Yuyu saw Ji Xun's tired face, so he squeezed his shoulders and beat his legs, "Otherwise, the palace will postpone the construction. ?We have a place to live anyway."
"Okay." Ji Xun nodded, "Let's wait for a while and wait until these things are dealt with."
"By the way, Ah Xun, you have to deal with the victims and political affairs, so you must be very busy." Shen Yuyu said while massaging him, "If you want to investigate the cause of the rising water, leave it to me."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Anyway, you like to do this." Ji Xun gently touched Shen Yuyu's little head and fell asleep quickly. He was too tired.
Ji Xun left the house early the next day, and Shen Yuyu was not idle either, taking Ying Ying and A Qin to the west of the city.
"Let's take a look at what that river looks like. The water does not rise every year, but the water has risen so much this year. It's so abnormal. Is there really a flood?"
