Cheng Jingwei listened carefully before saying, "It sounds...it seems to be getting farther and farther away."

Not only him, but other people also heard this way. Li Youdao and others were a little older, and their eyes and ears were not as sharp as the children. After listening hard for a while, they finally said: "It seems to be getting farther and farther away."

Pei Xingben frowned slightly: "Did the diversion tank work?"

No one can answer him, all we can do is wait.

It's so dark and it's raining heavily, it's best not to run out unless it's absolutely necessary.

A group of people can be said to have not slept all night. When the sky was bright the next morning, the rain became lighter. When it was brighter, the rain stopped, but the overhead was still cloudy. I don’t know when it will come again rain.

Luo Shixing got up quickly and said, "I'll go outside to have a look, you guys are waiting for me."

Everyone got up and wanted to go with him, Luo Shixing quickly waved his hands: "I rode a wolf faster than you! Just take a look and I'll be back."

But he has wolves, and Cheng Jingwei also has horses.

So in the end Cheng Jingwei went out with Luo Shixing to have a look together.

It's just that when running back to the mountain, Luo Shixing couldn't help but get a headache when he saw the wolf's paws stepping on the muddy water and splashing mud from time to time.

He will fix this broken road sooner or later!

Neither Luo Shixing nor Cheng Jingwei dared to run too far, they just looked at the back door of their own house.

There is a distance of more than ten meters from the blocking wall. You don't need to look over to see that there is a gap in the middle of the blocking wall that has been smashed by a stone. Even in other places where there is no gap, there are trees falling on the wall.

When the two of them ran to the north gate of the manor, the sky had cleared up, and the long-lost sunshine appeared and disappeared in the clouds.

Cheng Jingwei looked up and said, "It shouldn't rain today, let's go to the diversion tank to have a look."

In fact, even if it rains, it is easy to run back from there.

Luo Shixing nodded, patted the wolf and ran over.

Cheng Jingwei rode his horse and followed him. The two of them were stunned when they reached the diversion trough—at this moment, the diversion trough could no longer see its original appearance, and the mud, trees and stones washed down from the mountain had been filled. The diversion tank is full.

Because of the water, it was flowing slowly along the diversion trough to the low-lying mountain depression, and the two of them looked at the depression again.

Part of the original mountain depression has been filled up at this time, and even a piece of animal corpse can be faintly seen occasionally when the mudslides flow.

The hills that were originally densely vegetated are now in a mess.

Luo Shixing couldn't help but take a deep breath: "This... won't happen again, will it?"

The bearing capacity of the diversion trough and the col has reached its peak, and the impact that the blocking wall can withstand is also limited.

Especially after one place is damaged, the overall impact-bearing structure has been destroyed, and I am afraid that there is no way to withstand the second mudslide.

Cheng Jingwei shook his head: "I don't know, but prepare for the worst first."

The weather in the rainy season is impermanent, who can say clearly?

Luo Shixing looked at the hill that was obviously shorter by a section and said with a wry smile: "If you get through this time safely, it will be much easier when you want to blow up the mountain later."

Cheng Jingwei was helpless: "The soil has been washed down, and the rest are rocks. I'm afraid it will be more troublesome."

Luo Shixing sighed, and worriedly followed Cheng Jingwei back to the manor.

At this time, people in the manor had already come out for activities one after another. When they saw Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei coming from the north gate, they all boldly asked: "High Priest, what happened on the mountain? Is the mountain god angry?"

Luo Shixing forced a smile and said, "No, it was the heavy rain that washed down the things on the mountain, but don't worry, the manor will not be harmed for the time being!"

Although he wasn't sure if it would be harmful, but at this time some lies were needed to stabilize people's hearts.

He can't let these people panic. Once they panic, many tragedies may occur.

These people believed him after hearing it, but some people still ran to the back to take a look.

After seeing that the boulders coming down from the mountain were blocked from the wall, everyone was very excited and praised their high priest and Sanjiu as sure enough prophets.

Sangjiu is what they call Cheng Jingwei. This is actually the name of the head of the priest's guard a long time ago. Because Cheng Jingwei has been by Luo Shixing's side, and his force value seems to be quite high, so everyone simply acquiesced that he is the guard of the high priest. .

After Luo Shixing went back, facing everyone's doubts, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry too much, the mudslides are stopped by the blocking wall and diverted away by the diversion trough."

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and Li Youdao said with some concern, "I don't know where Yulang and the others are now."

Luo Shixing sighed: "I hope they stay in Fucheng and come back after the rainy season is over."

Anyway, he gave Wang Sui and the others a bag of pearls, which should be able to support them to live in Fucheng for a few more days.

Hey, at the beginning, he only let them go when he heard that they could come back in a short time, but he would definitely not let those people go because it would be delayed until now.

The only worry now is whether Wang Sui and the others will encounter any danger on the way.

It's a pity that communication is inconvenient now, so he can only let it go for a while.

For the next few days, Luo Shixing was a little worried. He and Cheng Jingwei were confident when facing other people, and when the door was closed, the expressions of the two of them became more dignified than the other.

They knew very well in their hearts that the rainy season hadn't passed yet, and now was not the time to relax.

However, I don’t know if it’s because the rain in the rainy season is over in this breath. Although there will be a little rain occasionally on cloudy days in the next few days, it’s not as heavy as that day. Everyone has even started to run out to check how the orchard fields are doing. up.

After questioning, Luo Shixing found that although the rice fields were somewhat damaged due to the heavy rain, and many rice paddies had fallen down, the overall problem was not very big, because they were not broken, and the plants had strong resilience, so there was no need to worry too much. Just don't have another downpour like this.

Luo Shixing: Who can say for sure.

To be sure or not, this matter is not something he can handle, but after paying attention to it, he went back to the study.

Cheng Jingwei led people to patrol the entire manor outside, repairing all the fences that had been washed away by the flood.

Although he wasn't at home very much every day, after several days in a row he didn't see the little lynx except for eating, he felt a little strange, so he couldn't help but take a day off and went to the study to see what Luo Shixing was doing.

When he passed by, he found a pile of clay tablets piled up on Luo Shixing's desk. He picked them up and looked at them and found that they were all strange-looking instruments. He couldn't help asking: "What are these for?"

Luo Shixing said, "Some tools will be used later."

Cheng Jingwei was a little curious: "What is it for?"

Luo Shixing put down the carving knife in his hand and said: "Of course, the rocks and trees on the back mountain are transferred. The diversion trough cannot be left like that all the time. If you are lucky, there will be no mudslides this year, so you have to deal with next year, and those trees and stones It’s not a problem to pile up there all the time, and you won’t be able to go to the back mountain if you want to.”

Cheng Jingwei asked: "Didn't you say that those stones and trees can be used?"

Luo Shixing looked at him speechlessly: "Then how do you plan to get it down?"

Cheng Jingwei realized later that this was indeed a very troublesome thing. He had seen it before, and many of the trees and rocks that were washed down were very large, and it was indeed a project to transport them down.

He smiled and said, "If it doesn't work, just blow it up."

Luo Shixing waved his hand angrily at him: "Don't make up your mind, how can you use it when you blow it up?"

In particular, some trees can be known to have a very old age at a glance. Although I don’t know if the wood soaked in rain can still be used, even if it can’t be used for other things, it can be used to grow shiitake mushrooms.

Mushrooms are grown on trees.

Anyway, it can always be useful. As for the soil, it must be cleaned up in the mountain depression where the mudslide flows out.

Cheng Jingwei reached out and pinched his face: "Even if you don't eat or drink for a while, you won't be able to finish it. Don't keep yourself bored in the room every day."

Luo Shixing stretched out his paw and started to scratch him. The two scratched each other like children. Li Youdao, who came in from the outside, was speechless when he saw it.

Sure enough, was the calmness of the day of the mudslide an illusion?

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei were also a little embarrassed, Luo Shixing withdrew his claws and asked, "What's the matter, cousin?"

Since Li Youdao discussed his relationship with him, Luo Shixing couldn't push people away, so Shun Yishun found out that both Li Youdao and Cui Shenji were his cousins, and Cui Shenji became the eldest cousin when he was older.

Li Youdao said: "The Daling brought someone here, and he wants to put his child with us temporarily."

Luo Shixing was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that the weather is bad recently and you won't have classes? I'll go and see him."

When he went down, he saw Ale sitting there with a frown frowning, and the smiling face he saw Luo Shixing in the past was gone, and instead he sighed and said, "Lynx cat, I should have listened to you and forced them to serve in the military." .”

Luo Shixing had a bad premonition and asked, "What's wrong?"

Alzhen sighed: "The heavy rain a few days ago can be said to be once in a hundred years. Mudslides occurred in many places, and half of the county town...was washed away."

Luo Shixing couldn't help gasping after hearing this. He knew that mudslides had occurred here, and other places would hardly be spared, but he didn't expect to be so exaggerated.

Although he had made up his mind not to control the Ouluo people, Luo Shixing couldn't help asking, "How is the situation now?"

Alzhen shook his head: "It's not very good, at least nearly a thousand people were killed, and our connection with other villages was also cut off, maybe they also..."

The county seat can be regarded as the best and most developed area for the Ouluo people. Other villages are not as good as the county seat, and the disasters they may suffer are probably more severe than the county seat.

After the disaster, Alzhen first sent someone to look at Luo Shixing's place. As a result, when he found that although Luo Shixing's manor also had traces of flooding, but it was basically intact, he knew that it wasn't just him who was stupid at the time. clansmen, and him.

In fact, the little lynx had already reminded him that this year's climate was a bit special, and the heavy snow during the New Year had already foreshadowed many things.

However, he didn't take it to heart, so he had to face the current predicament.

No matter how much he looked down on ordinary people, Alzhen couldn't be happier when he thought of the fact that so many of his clansmen died suddenly because of the disaster.

Especially now that the rainy season has not yet passed, no one knows whether there will be other disasters in the future.

Alzhen must be in charge of the overall situation in the county government. This is his responsibility as the patriarch, but he is worried that his child will die due to poor care or accidents. Put the child here with Luo Shixing, and ask him to take care of it.

Of course Luo Shixing would not refuse him, and even reminded Al when he really wanted to go back: "If you want to search and rescue, be careful to dispose of the corpse as soon as possible, and don't leave it alone."

Although Alezhen was upset, he still took Luo Shixing's words seriously.

After he left, Luo Shixing sat there for a while and finally sighed and said, "How much food do we have?"

Before the rainy season came, they used to buy food crazily. They were afraid that there would not be enough food during the rainy season. After all, there were so many of them, and Luo Shixing refused to treat his slaves badly.

Hoarding goods is probably engraved in the bones of the Han people. Once it is estimated that there may be danger, the first thing to do is to stock up.

Xiao Shanshi is very familiar with this aspect, and immediately reported a series of figures, and finally concluded: "At least you can eat until the next year or even the next year."

This is only the case of eating grain, but in fact they also have other things, such as dried shiitake mushrooms and some dried vegetables, as well as dried river mussel meat and pickled fish.

These supplies are enough for them to eat for a long time. The only thing they need to worry about is that there are not enough vegetables. After all, the rice can still resist tenaciously when the heavy rain comes. Difficult to survive.

Luo Shixing made some calculations, then sighed and said, "Let's prepare a third first."

Xiao Shanshi was a little strange: "Why prepare so much food?"

Luo Shixing was helpless: "It's for disaster relief and relief for the victims."

No matter how strong his words were, when the time came when his life was at stake, he still couldn't turn a blind eye.

Hey, sorry.
