Chapter 347: Exploding the Embankment(2/2)
The boy beside him looked nervous, his lips were white, and there was fear in his mouth.
"Grandpa... let's go home..."
The old man turned around and frowned at the young man: "Go home? If this river bank collapses, we will have no home!"
….
The boy's face turned pale. Although the river has floods and floods every year, this year is obviously different from previous years. Since the beginning of his birth, there have not been many floods and floods that are as large.
The thick embankment under the feet seemed to be shaking under the huge waves of yellow sand.
"But... But, the fifth uncle has already brought people to the county town, and the county master will come here soon."
After all, the boy was still afraid of the river that had completely changed, and he only thought about going home early.
The old man turned around again, stared at his grandson, trying to scold him, but he became weaker after all. He sighed and reached out to pat the hat on the top of his grandson's head.
"When the others come, you follow them back to the village."
"I'll learn from it all my life. Grandpa stayed here for the rest of his life, planted a land for the rest of his life, and worked as a river craftsman for the rest of his life. I hope you guys can really subdue this river."
The boy didn't understand what the old man meant. When he heard that he could go home, he nodded regardless.
Then he stood up and wanted to find the uncles from the same village so that he could take him home.
The boy stood up and saw the people coming over the river bank to the west. He immediately showed joy on his face. He stretched out his hand and lowered his head to shout at the old man: "Grandpa, it's the fourth uncle who is here!"
The old man stood up with his knees tremblingly, looking up to the west.
Liu Si came all the way upstream and finally saw Mr. Liu, who was staring at the riverside with his grandson, rushed over quickly.
"Old Master Liu, upstream... upstream... upstream has a peak!"
"Hongfeng!"
Mr. Liu was anxious and reached out to slap Liu Si, staring at him, "I'll make it clear. The peak in front of him just passed, how could the peak in the peak came so quickly!"
Liu Si glanced at the little grandson beside Mr. Liu, and turned around to greet another person in the same village: "Take Xiao Liuzi home and tell the village that everything should be prepared!"
The man rushed back from the upper reaches with Liu Si. Hearing this, he immediately took Xiao Liu Zi back to Sanyi Township under the embankment.
Wait until the person leaves.
Mr. Liu's face has become ugly.
"Is Hongfeng really coming again?"
Liu Si nodded heavily: "I can see clearly that after the flood peak in front of me has passed smoothly, the river surface has fallen more than three feet, but there are more undercurrents. There must be silt on the top. If the upper part does not collapse, when the silt is broken by the flood peak above, our Lankao will be finished!"
Old Master Liu's face was already dark and gray, and his lips kept trembling: "Upstream...Upstream is Kaifeng, how could it cause the embankment to collapse..."
Liu Si kept looking back at the increasingly prosperous river in Huanglong: "The Taoyuan Pass in Guide Mansion, Dingjiadaokou, and Liujiakou started to send additional personnel last month. Only here, Cao Tan was silent for a long time and sat high in the yamen all day long, and didn't know what he was doing! If the river collapses this year, it will collapse in our Lankao County!"
Liu Si's heart was in a mess at this moment.
Since then, the prefectures and counties on both sides of the river have begun to send more people to guard the embankment as usual to prepare materials for river embankments in order to prevent possible spring floods.
….
But the corrupt official named Cao from Lankao County took office only after the summer last year. He was a mess and even ignored the river work matters.
It was clear that when winter came, we should have riding the river water to reduce it and repair the river embankment that had not been repaired last year. This guy hid in the county government all day long and listened to music and watched opera.
If the entire Yellow River, the Thousand-mile Taihang Dike, collapsed this year, it would be deserving of Lankao County!
Mr. Liu suddenly fell on the embankment, splashing a piece of rain, making him covered in mud.
Liu Si and his friends were immediately panicked and hurried forward to help Mr. Liu up.
"Old Master Liu, you have to hold on and can't fall down!"
"You have been a river worker for fifty years, and no one is more familiar with this river than you! Whether our Lankao County can survive this time depends on your old age."
Liu Si was really anxious, the upstream must have been blocked.
Maybe it's just silting in Kaifeng Prefecture City.
If this is true, there will definitely find a way to rush the silt to the river, even if you fight your life, you will have to bring things to the river to blew the silt to the river.
If this is true, Lankao will have to welcome a super flood peak that has been continuously strengthened by silt.
A trace of blood flowed out of Liu Si's lips. He looked at the river rushing around him in panic, which was already visible to the naked eye.
Mr. Liu can only rely on the middle-aged man in the same village: "It's over! It's over! Lankao County can't stand it!"
...
"How could it be impossible to hold on!"
"The Lankao County of this official is the gateway to the Dahe River!"
"Big bigger peak?"
"As soon as we came, our county blew up the river embankment at the lower county boundary. The people in Lankao were naturally safe."
Lankao County.
The city is full of the city, only the county government offices connected by four avenues are the most eye-catching.
There was a storm outside the yamen, but behind the shadow wall, there were prostitutes singing songs, sitting around the stove, and stewing tofu with big carp pickles.
Lankao County Magistrate Cao Zhisheng, holding a porcelain plate in his left hand and holding a quick piece in his right hand stirring in an iron pot that was like a big river rolling. He picked up a piece of old tofu and blew it in two breaths and put it into his mouth.
Then he made a gurgling sound from his mouth, took a breath, and let out another breath, and the hot old tofu turned cold.
Then he took a spoon and served a small bowl of pickled vegetables, tofu and fish soup, and slowly tasted it for a few bites.
The fish has not moved.
In the words of Magistrate Cao, this is called borrowing flavor, and I eat pickled vegetables and tofu.
After eating tofu and drinking pickled fish soup, Cao Zhisheng turned his head and looked out of the corridor again.
Several river workers wearing straw raincoats, straw hats and yellow mud and straw sandals under their feet.
"Blast the dam."
"Just blow up the downstream, the embankment that borders the next door to Guide Mansion."
"If the water does not enter our Lankao, the people will blame us for not entering our county. If the water does not enter our Kaifeng Prefecture, the prefecture will be punished.
I can't do this county."
"What a good thing about Hongfeng? Guide Mansion has been employed at the beginning of the year. I think it can withstand it."
Standing in the heavy rain, the yellow mud under his feet had been washed over and over again, but had not been washed away cleanly, his face couldn't help but show anger.
"County Master, it's probably too late to blow up the river bank now!"
"Besides, even if you dare to blow up the river bank before Hongfeng arrives, and it will not flood our Lankao County, Guide Mansion will be flooded. At that time, our Kaifeng Mansion is fine. If something happens to Guide Mansion, the court will also pay attention to the charge of blowing up the river bank."
As he spoke, several river workers who rushed over from the Yellow River embankment of Sanyi Village knelt on the ground.
The rain, I took pictures of them over and over again.
It was like a few stubborn stones standing in that big river.
Just wait for a larger flood peak to arrive, and these stubborn stones will be trapped in the surging undercurrent.
Cao Zhisheng, who really wanted to continue eating tofu, drink soup and listen to music, his eyes suddenly stood up, and he slapped the quickspeaker on the table. Zeng Di stood up and looked at the river workers outside the corridor with his face.
"If you are in this county, will it not work in Lankao?"
"Come!"
With Cao Zhisheng's order, a group of officers rushed in from nowhere.
"County Master."
Cao Zhisheng's sect waved Fang Qiu's appearance and looked cold and looked cold: "You take the people and escort them to the downstream river and blow up the river embankment!"
It seems that I feel that my words are not worth enough.
Cao Zhisheng continued to angrily scolded: "If anyone doesn't listen, my county will kill him!"
