Chapter 53 Yellow River Flood
The man's face was full of mud, and he couldn't see his face for a long time. Only two dark eyes were not covered by mud. He coughed a few times, and there was blood in his phlegm. Still said, "Dog baby, my uncle is still strong. There has been a heavy rainstorm this year. If it hadn't been strengthened earlier, how many fields would have been destroyed once the dam burst. How can I bear to watch the mature banker call the water away? It doesn't matter. Just take a rest.
Zhang Xuan knew that Uncle Wang was stubborn and told him to put Uncle Wang's bag of kang and run to the dam with tears: "Uncle Wang, you can't have an accident. Otherwise, we will all sleep with a conscience. Everyone in the village knew that Uncle Wang's field was in the north. Even if the dike broke, it would not flood there. He still ran to resist the soil bag without thinking about it.
The clouds in the sky have not decreased, and the rain has not slowed down. The majestic peaks in the distance lasted for several miles, and there was no end at a glance. It was dark, and the wild beasts roared like thunder, making people breathless. Lightning flashed from time to time, like two indifferent eyes looking down at the earth, as if they wanted to destroy all this.
In the county government office, the old man in official uniform walked back and forth, and his eyebrows were obviously very anxious.
"Your Excellency, it's not good..." Looking in the direction of the old man's eyes, a small soldier was panting at the door. Lord Liao hurriedly said, "If there is anything new, tell me quickly."
"The rainstorm is getting worse and bigger, and the water level of the Yellow River has risen by two feet. It has exceeded the guard line. There is no manpower at all. Is it possible to let the villagers downstream evacuate?"
Lord Liao was shocked and didn't expect that the rain would rise much faster than expected. Looking at the rain connected under the eaves, he thought to himself, "Let the villagers evacuate and try to save their belongings as much as possible." With a long sigh, it seemed that this moment was a little older, and the same scene was staged in different places.
Hearing the messy rain outside the window, Xiao Ran's closed eyes opened again. Unexpectedly, I was a little restless. I don't know where this uneasiness came from, and I couldn't calm down. After carefully recalling all the things that have happened, I still haven't found anything suspicious.
After a fragrance, Xiao Ran seemed to think of something. He closed his eyes and quietly felt the whole inn, not a single one, so he shook his head. Just as he was about to finish his work, he suddenly said, and there were many birds and beasts coming in the direction, looking like they were fleeing in a panic. Is there something wrong in the northwest? No wonder he was upset and was influenced by these birds and beasts. Xiao Ran has a supernatural ability, which can not only affect the animal's mind, but also be affected by the animal's violent negative emotions. Fortunately, Xiao Ran is determined and has never had a big deal.
"Northwest?" Xiao Ran meditated and ran fast in his mind. Even in different worlds, the landform should have not changed.
"Yellow River!" Xiao Ran finally remembered and contacted the rainstorm in the past few days, and his eyebrows were about to frown. He stopped some huge and slightly spiritual birds and beasts with his power and got the same result as speculation.
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River was not flooded many times, but each death and injury was enough to hurt the vitality of the imperial court. Hundreds of thousands of people were homeless, selling their sons and daughters, and countless people died of starvation. Some people even eat people. What's more terrible is that the Tang Dynasty does not have a disease prevention and control system of the times, let alone medicinal herbs.
The probability of an outbreak of the plague is very high. Throughout ancient and modern times, any outbreak of the plague is unbearable. One person got sick and infected ten families. The light one has ten lives*, and the heavy one has one or two. Within the boundary, the rate is as high as this. The strength can be seen. What's more, it directly leads to the decline of a dynasty.
Xiao Ran has been an orphan since he was a child. He has been hanging out with a group of stray dogs all day long, and it is very clear that there is no pain from his relatives. After several thoughts, it is impossible to stop this disaster. Death can only be minimized. One person's power doesn't work at all. Thinking about it, I was free to ask her for help.
After three days of rest, even if I can't compete with others, I can still barely walk. He got up tremblingly, and as soon as his feet landed, a shock-like pain spread all over his body. Gritting his teeth, a dense layer of sweat oozed from his forehead and insisted on walking out of the door. In order to prevent an accident, the rooms of the three were not far away. Even so, Xiao Ran took a cup of tea to "walk" to Xia Ruoyan's door.
Seeing that the room is still on, gently slam the door. Xia Ruoyan also said who it was. Pressing the dagger and getting up, he saw Xiao Ran standing at the door with a red face, and several thoughts flashed in his mind for a moment. Xiao Ran blushed. First, it was caused by the hard work, and second, a big man knocked on the door of the girl's house in the evening, which was always a little embarrassed.
Xia Ruoyan was stunned and said, "Mr. Xiao, you haven't slept so late. What's the matter?"
Xiao Ran nodded, and Xia Ruoyan also knew that he was inconvenient to move and said, "Let's go first."
Xiao Ran slowly moved to the chair and took a long breath. Xia Ruoyan was even more puzzled. When she first entered the inn, she was still supported by the second old man Kunlun. She should have been injured in this way. What do you have to say now?
Xiao Ran straightened out his mind and said, "I take the liberty to disturb you late at night. I hope you can forgive me for any inconvenience. It's really a pity. I hope the princess can help.
"What's the matter, but it's okay to say it, as long as you can't shirk it."
Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "I can borrow 50,000 taels of silver!"
"Fifty thousand taels of silver!" Even if Xia Ruo spends a lot of money, 50,000 taels of silver is not a small amount. The living expenses of a family of four are only four or five taels of silver a month, and 50,000 taels of silver is worth the tax of a county for several years.
Xia Ruoyan knew that Xiao Ran was not greedy for money and fame, otherwise the heroes of Tangjiabao would not have appeared and said, "Is it difficult for you to borrow so much money?"
Seeing that Xia Ruoyan seemed to be able to make up the money, Xiao Ran sent some slightly and said, "Yes...not."
This confused Xia Ruoyan and didn't know what medicine he sold in the gourd. Xia Ruoyan didn't ask, but looked at Xiao Ran with a smile. He knew that Xiao Ran would not be aimless. Xiao Ranxin said, "Sure enough, it is a large family, and the mental cultivation is far from ordinary women."
Xiao Ran took a sip of tea and said, "I'm 80% sure about this matter, but I can't guarantee that an ingot will happen. Now I will prepare early. If I am worried, the money will be returned on the same day."
Xia Ruoyan smiled and said, "Can't you talk to me?"
Xiao Ran said with a wry smile, "Try it out, I'm afraid you won't believe it." The Yellow River has not yet burst, let alone plague. The Tang Dynasty has been smooth for decades, and the country is prosperous and peaceful. Who will believe this? It can't be said that it is inferred by its own power. Even Xiao Ran himself did not know whether Xia Ruoyan would believe it. Now there is only one try.
Xiao Ran said, "This is just a guess. I have been in a series of torrential rains in recent days, and the dam has not been strengthened for several years. I'm afraid that the Yellow River is in danger of breaking the embankment. If you can reserve food and herbs in advance, so that the disaster victims will not be fluent everywhere. Of course, it is best not to happen, but it is always good to reserve in advance..."
"Do you think these words are ridiculous?"
Out of Xiao Ran's medical treatment, Xia Ruoyan shook her head and said, "I believe it!"
Xiao Ran wondered, "Does the princess believe such unfounded words?"
Xia Ruoyan smiled: "Because you are Xiao Ran!"
Xiao Ran's originally prepared words were all used, and he didn't expect it to be so simple to convince. Some things seem difficult, but they exaggerate him. If you try, you may fail. If you don't try, you will never succeed. At this moment, Xiao Ran found for the first time that the woman in front of him also couldn't understand it. He said to himself, "Maybe it's because he saved her once." Who can make it clear whether it's true or not. Xiao Ran is gambling, isn't Xia Ruoyan?
Xia Ruoyan said, "It's inconvenient for you to move. It's better to record what you need and let the two masters do it for you."
Xiao Ran nodded and the medical skills learned by Tang Wenying were useful and quickly filtered through his mind. Plague is the most induced disease. Plague is also called the plague, which is the epidemic. Due to the different types of gas, the diseases caused are also different. The organs of the recidivism are also different. There are three ways to govern: it is appropriate to supplement, disperse, and to reduce..."
