Chapter 158 The sound of water flowing like a tsunami!
Baijiazhuang, Zhulin Village, Nanning Prefecture
The rainstorm showed no sign of stopping.
The sky seemed to be torn apart, and the rain poured down, crackling and hitting the horse's back.
Bai Manshan wiped his face, brushed away the rain from his eyes, and continued to ride towards the village.
In the distance, the wind rolled up the dark clouds, and the whole sky was gloomy and dark. The mountains were vague and vague in the rain curtain, and could not be seen clearly.
The dirt road under the horse's hooves had been flooded to the height of the calf. The seedlings in the fields on both sides of the dirt road were all submerged in water, and the corn stalks in the field were blown down by the wind. Bai Manshan didn't care about the pain, and his eyes were only staring at the village in front.
Here are his 800 acres of fertile land, countless lands, and more than 200 servants. This is the largest hidden property of the Bai family.
It will be handed over to Qian'er in the future, and he can't let it have any mistakes.
Baijiazhuang is bustling with people at this moment.
"Sun Zhuangtou, the boss came over a few days ago and said that if there is a heavy rain, all the people in the village should evacuate to the opposite Yubei Mountain immediately!" Xu Qing looked straight at Sun Zhuangtou and said sternly.
Sun Zhuangtou stood under the eaves, looking at the crowded people in the yard, his eyes gloomy.
Of course he remembered what the boss said.
But they have more than 200 people, more than ten families, people can go and take some food, but farm tools, houses, and belongings are all gone?
These people can leave at any time, he is the head of the village, and the boss will not blame him for these losses, but he may leave a bad impression on the boss.
"Wait a little longer, the boss is just worried that the dam of Ma Ya Lake can't stop the flood, what if it does?"
He said it to the people in the yard and to himself at the same time.
Several people who usually supported Sun Zhuangtou immediately shouted: "Yes, the boss is far away, we should listen to the boss!"
"We are all gone, and we don't want these belongings? How many of them can we take to Yubei Mountain!"
"You don't want to live in your own house, but want to stay in the thatched house, tree house and cave on Yubei Mountain?
You can, but have you considered the old and young at home? In this rainy weather, can they live on the mountain?"
The noisy crowd was silent for a moment.
A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse, who is willing to move.
Seeing that everyone's will was shaken, Xu Qing shouted loudly: "The boss said that he will come back when the rain stops.
When the reservoir dam is good, the things at home will not be less, but if there is a problem with the dam, it will save the lives of our family!
What is more important, can't you tell?"
The people in the yard felt that they couldn't take risks when it came to life-threatening matters.
Sun Zhuangtou squinted at Xu Qing, dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart: "Don't always call me boss.
The boss is far away in Nandu, and here I, Sun Zhuangtou, have the final say! I said we won't move now, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xu Qing was unmoved, staring at Sun Zhuangtou: "No, I only listen to the boss!
We just returned from Ma Ya Lake, the flood is almost at the mouth of the dam, and there is no sign of the rain stopping. We can't hold on until tomorrow. We must move tonight, and we must move now!"
The crowd responded in unison.
"I said we won't move tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Sun Zhuangtou said word by word with a dark face: "Whoever goes against me will have a hard time when the flood recedes!"
The noisy sound disappeared, and there was silence.
Except for the sound of rain, no one made any more sound.
Sun Zhuangtou was proud of his prestige. He glanced around proudly, and his pupils suddenly widened.
There was one more person in the crowd in the yard!
The person who came a few days ago, earnestly admonished him and he tried his best to guarantee!
"From today on, the head of Baijiazhuang in Zhulin Village belongs to Xu Qing. You must follow his orders and carry the fish back to the mountain.
Those who disobey will be sold on the spot after the flood!" A steady and sharp voice sounded in the rainy night, and it sounded louder than thunder in the ears of Sun Zhuangtou.
The Bai family has always been kind to their servants.
No beatings, no deductions, no humiliation of wives and daughters. After the flood, there are disasters everywhere, who would buy people.
How many families who can buy people are better than the Bai family.
Sun Zhuangtou knelt on his knees with a plop and kowtowed: "Boss, I was wrong! Please keep my family for my past. I promise to listen to you in the future!"
As long as he stays, he will slowly plot against Xu Qing in the future. As long as he gets rid of Xu Qing, the position of the head of the village is still his!
Bai Manshan looked at Sun Zhuangtou.
He doesn't need servants who are too smart, he just needs loyal servants who obey his orders.
Obviously, Sun Zhuangtou doesn't belong now.
If he had always been a servant and had not achieved the position of the village head, it would not be a problem for him to stay.
But now, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Keeping him will only cause trouble to Xu Qing and increase the difficulty of various things in Baijiazhuang. He must not stay.
Bai Manshan glanced at the sky, which was dark and gloomy. Hu Yu was in charge of the old house in Nandu. He came alone and had no news.
The caution of doing business for many years made him smile and say: "You used to be a capable person. It is normal to make mistakes for a while. You should correct them in the future. Get up first."
Sun Zhuangtou immediately stood up, and the cruelty on his face disappeared.
The boss still recognized him!
His only enemy was Xu Qing.
Bai Manshan did not stay after speaking, and instructed each family to go back and pack up and move to the mountain.
The heavy rain had been falling for two days and one night, and the mud on the ground could sink the legs to the calves.
There were also elderly people and children, clothes and bedding, food, livestock, etc., and more than 200 people had a very difficult time walking.
If I had followed my boss's previous instructions and gone to Yubei Mountain as soon as the weather changed, I wouldn't have suffered tonight!
Bai Manshan cursed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and watched everyone evacuate.
He waited until Xu Qing ran over to report to him that more than 200 people had all reached the halfway point of the mountain. They were considered safe and asked him if he would stay.
Bai Manshan shook his head.
Xu Qing advised worriedly: "Boss, the road is not easy to walk at night, and I have seen that the dam on Maya Lake may not be able to hold until tomorrow morning. You should stay."
"I have to go to another place to take a look, otherwise I will be worried.
I will leave soon. I can leave Baijiazhuang in less than half an hour and the Maya Lake Reservoir in more than half an hour;
By the way, you should be more careful about Sun Baotou during this period. When the flood recedes, the Bai family will deal with him." Bai Manshan ordered in an orderly manner.
Xu Qing nodded, but he was still worried: "Boss, I will take you."
"No, I have a horse, you go back first, the mountain needs you more." After speaking, Bai Manshan jumped on the horse and rode back.
The crops in Baijiazhuang could not be saved, but as long as these people were saved and there were people to till the land, there would still be a harvest in the future.
People are the most important.
With people, there is hope.
Leaving Baijiazhuang on horseback, Bai Manshan passed by another village.
Unlike Baijiazhuang, the people in this village thought that the rainstorm would end soon and fell asleep early.
The night was very peaceful.
In this peaceful night, Bai Manshan heard the sound of water flowing upstream like a tsunami!
