Chapter 45: debris flow
Chapter 45 Debris Flow
The closer the team got to Jiangyuan City, the more frequent it rained. Bai Wutong saw the uninterrupted puddles on the road in the carriage, and a very bad premonition rose in his heart.
After the continuous rain, there are many floods, and I don’t know what the situation is in Jiangyuan City, which is still half a month away.
Bai Wutong asked Qingfeng who was driving, "Has Jiangyuan City been flooded in the past?" What should the commander of the dark guard battalion know.
Qingfeng did not look back and said, "Jiangyuan City suffers from floods every year. Last year, nearly 500,000 people were affected, and more than 200,000 people were submerged by the flood."
Bai Wutong heard the frightening number and asked again: "How did the emperor deal with it?"
Qingfeng's tone was light, but it stirred Bai Wutong's ability to accept, "Without handling, about 500,000 victims of the disaster will survive."
Bai Wutong sucked in a breath of air and let the disaster kill so many people. It was really cheap for the Emperor Dog to die now.
Bai Wutong frowned, "Will we also encounter flooding on this road?"
Qingfeng said: "Yes, but it's almost autumn, and even if it happens, the flood will be over soon." She was telling Bai Wutong not to worry too much.
Famine and floods, the death of a large number of people and animals, and the pollution of water sources are likely to cause plagues to run rampant, so how could she not worry about it.
Bai Wutong looked at the rough road leading to Jiangyuan City, and a premonition that Jiangyuan City was more troublesome than Beiyun City kept coming.
She had to ask everyone to do some precautions in advance.
The junction of Beiyun City and Jiangyuan City is about to arrive. The mountain road is rugged and the terrain is steep. With a single step, the carriage may drive into the densely vegetated mountain stream.
It was a drizzle originally, but when the team reached the cliff, the sudden violent storm almost overturned the team.
The children were wrapped tightly in their parents' robes.
Even so, the heavy rain soaked them all.
Adults can get sick even if they are strong, let alone children.
Moreover, the rainstorm is very likely to cause mudslides, landslides, and their location is too dangerous.
Bai Wutong lifted the curtain of the car and said to Lin Yue, who was drenched in soup on the horse's back: "It's too dangerous to go on the road in such a heavy rain. Let's find a place to stay first!" More can't hear.
The team had only set out not long ago, but it seemed that the rain would not stop for a while, so they had to find a new place to settle down.
Lin Yue said: "Okay."
As soon as the voice fell, Bai Wutong heard the movement of the stone loosening and rolling down from the mountain.
Everyone looked up in unison.
found that only one or two small stones fell from the cliff, and everyone was relieved.
Lin Yue called everyone to take two quick steps, and there was a slightly flat bamboo forest in front of them, where everyone could settle down briefly.
Bai Wutong never looked away from the top of the cliff. Suddenly, her pupils contracted violently, and she shouted eagerly to Lin Yue: "Quick, run back, let everyone run back, the mudslide is about to come down! !"
Everyone looked up suddenly, and found that the gravel on the top of the cliff was falling down continuously, and the cliff above their heads was also in the shape of molten lava, which may be accompanied by stones at any time. slide down.
If the retreat is not timely, all these people will be buried.
Everyone tried their best to suckle and ran back.
When the entire team evacuated to the safe area, they heard a loud noise like thunder, "Boom" one, two, three. Uninterrupted boulders mixed with collapsed soil fell from the sky, followed by erupting mudslides, like waterfalls Roll away quickly.
After a while, the only official road leading to Jiangyuan City was strictly blocked.
If you ran forward just now, everyone would have been buried inside.
Everyone unanimously showed the expression of the rest of their lives.
The official road was blocked, and horses, carts, mules, carts, and ox carts carrying food and belongings could not pass. Other roads would take at least half a month to reach Jiangyuan City, and it was not necessarily better than the official road.
Lin Yue said: "Madam, I will take someone to clear the official road now."
Bai Wutong shook his head: "No, it's raining so much now, and there may be a mudslide. It's too dangerous. Let's find a place to stay first."
The new place where the team settled down was under a dense bamboo forest, and everyone was familiar with setting up camp.
The men cut down a lot of bamboo and quickly built a few bamboo sheds that could shelter from the wind and rain.
Women lit fires and boiled decoctions with herbs to ward off cold.
The children were well-behaved and kept quiet.
The violent storm and rain lasted for nearly a morning, before Father Sun appeared as if he had woken up.
The sun shines through the bamboo forest, as if nothing has happened, and the years are quiet.
Bai Wutong was sure that it would not rain, so he said to Lin Yue: "You go and see if there is a possibility of another mudslide in the official road. If not, come back and ask people to open the way." Even if the rain stopped, the current situation The soil is also soft and muddy, very dangerous.
Lin Yue said good, and Qingfeng, who heard it next to him, also wanted to go with him.
Lin Yue looked back at her, "What are you going to do? Stay to protect the madam and the young master." He now dared to instruct the commander of the dark guard battalion, Yi Qi.
Qingfeng looked at Bai Wutong, Bai Wutong waved his hand and said, "Go, go, he's not as good as you, if the mudslide comes again, you can still pull him at a critical moment."
Lin Yue instantly stared at Bai Wutong. Although Bai Wutong was telling the truth and it was for his own good, shouldn't he lose face?
What was even more irritating was that Qingfeng glanced at him and said calmly, "Okay."
As if he was a waste who needed protection.
Lin Yue turned into a puffer fish again, Qingfeng looked at him more, and there was a very interesting light smile in the cold eyes.
Bai Wutong saw that the soul that had been swept away by the breeze was gradually coming back.
Lin Yue and Qingfeng went to check the official road, and the people of Zhao Nongzhuang also moved in place.
Zhuanghu family is best at discovering things in this field.
Such a large bamboo forest was soon excavated by them for many descendants.
Looking at the baskets of bamboo shoots, Bai Wutong clicked his tongue, "Today everyone will be full by eating only bamboo shoots."
Yang's delightedly said: "Fresh bamboo shoots are the freshest stewed bacon, I'll prepare it now."
Bai Wutong smiled, "Then I have a good time today."
I ate a lot of pickles and fresh bamboo shoots along the way, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
Zhao Pengfei leaned over and said, "This forest is quite deep, there should be a blind bear." He was eager to see, "If we can meet a blind bear, everyone will be able to eat meat." Zhao Pengfei used to go up the mountain alone. Hunting, very daring.
There are so many people here, how could Xiong Blind dare to come? Bai Wutong was afraid that Zhao Pengfei would run away and cause trouble, so he said: "There is a shoal over there, everyone can go and see if you can catch fish."
This shoal is in the middle of two small hills, and the water flows from the hills. Don’t look shallow, the water in the middle is quite fast. Bai Wutong also specially explained that children cannot go into the water.
Zhao Pengfei's water is very good. He didn't pay attention to this little water flow at all. He rolled up his trousers and walked to the middle of the water. A big, bouncing fish.
He shouted in surprise: "There is a fish! There is a fish! It's quite fat!" He threw the fish to the shore and plunged into the water.
When the men saw the fish, their eyes lit up and they went into the water.
However, catching fish still requires certain skills. Some people catch more, while others catch less.
Chu Tianbao, this idiot, didn't catch a single one.
