Chapter 337: Open floodgates
Chapter 337 Opening the floodgates
Si Zhong's reaction startled Kim Sandou, and Kim Sandou jumped up and said.
"Surprised and frightened me."
Si Zhong looked solemn, and confirmed with him again.
"You said the upstream floodgates are being opened?"
Jin Sandou didn't know what he was thinking about, so he just nodded.
"Yeah, isn't this normal."
After listening hard, Si immediately started to pull on his coat, talking while getting dressed.
"It used to be normal, but now that Longshan Mountain has collapsed and the Shu River is blocked, where do you think the upstream water will go?"
Jin Sandou is very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Of course, he knows that the only way upstream is the Shu River.
Si Zhong was worried about Li Qingyan, and wanted to find her, but he did not forget to tell Jin Sandou before leaving,
"Go to Cui's village quickly, don't let them open the gate."
Jin Sandou froze on the spot, faltering.
"They were preparing when I left. It is estimated that it will be almost here now. Moreover, the bridge leading there is now full of water, and the water has been rising. I am afraid that I will not be able to go there at this time."
Si Jin pursed his lips after hearing this. Cuijiazhai was a long way away, and even if he could get there, it would take a lot of time. Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Jin Sandou, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"You go to the back of the mountain, take a group of people, and go upstream to prevent them from releasing the flood."
After talking to Jin Sandou, Si Zhong couldn't help worrying about Xikou Town. As the name suggests, it is near Xikou. If there is a flood, it will definitely suffer first.
The thunder outside made Jin Sandou's head buzzing. Thinking of the imminent flood, he couldn't help but his legs went weak. At this moment, he only had himself in his heart.
Jin Sandou said.
"I...what else to stop, let's find a place to hide first."
As soon as the words fell, Jin Sandou received a cold look from Si Zhong, not surprisingly.
Si Chong said coldly.
"If I remember correctly, you are still a member of the government. The upper reaches open the gate to release the flood. If something happens in the village, do you think you can get rid of it?"
Reminded by Si Zhong, Jin Sandou's heart was shocked, as if...it seems to be the reason, he has been in this quarry for a long time, staying with exiles all day, and almost forgot his identity.
While Jin Sandou was in a daze, Si Zhong had already rushed into the rain, got on his horse, and left without looking back.
…
Si Zhong marched against the torrential rain, the horse's hooves slapped the ground, splashing mud and water, and the continuous rain blurred the vision, making the journey extremely difficult.
After arriving in the town, Si Zhong noticed that the water was already very deep, and the terrain of this place was too low. Even if the upstream gates were not opened, the stream would almost overflow.
The more insane torrential rain caused many people to stand at the door and look around, looking very scared.
Si Zhong drove straight over and shouted at them.
"The upstream floodgates are opened to release the flood, and the water will be here soon. Take your family to Mount Ai!"
The mountain closest to here is called Ai Mountain. Most of the mountain is made of stones, which is relatively safe.
The people in the town looked at each other after hearing Si Zhong's words, as if they were doubting his words.
Si Zhong was out of breath and shouted directly.
"The Shu River is blocked by the soil of Longshan Mountain, and the stream is about to overflow, hurry up!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about others, and drove straight to Li Qingyan.
After being reminded by Si Zhong, the nearby people were observing the water on the ground. At this time, the amount of water on the ground was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many people who were already afraid could not care about other things at this time. Grab your belongings and get ready to run.
Si Zhong arrived at Li Qingyan's yard and ran in hastily, but he searched around, but there was no sign of Li Qingyan inside.
Si Zhong's chest heaved violently, feeling impatient, he wiped his face with water and rushed into the rain again.
