Chapter 174 Dead Land
When I arrived at Wanjia Village, it was already the end of the time.
It was dark, and when everything was supposed to be silent, it was particularly lively because of the rush, as if there was no end to the mudslide.
Put on a thick cloak and put on a hat. Xia Hanqiu helped Duan Ziyi's hand out of the carriage.
A few umbrellas were protected and didn't let her get wet a little.
After standing firm, Duan Ziyi let the others disperse. He hugged people in one hand and held an umbrella in the other hand. Looking around, he found that there were obviously a lot fewer people left here, and Jiang Tao was not there.
Peng will be busy explaining the matter.
"Is there any news coming back after the past?"
"Yes." Peng will hand over a few oil paper bags. Duan Ziyi was not free, and Xia Hanqiu took them over.
Open it and have a look, and his face suddenly changed. He accelerated the action and opened all three to see, and his hands holding oil paper were shaking slightly.
Duan Ziyi also saw it clearly, hugged the person tightly, and asked, "When was the last message sent?"
"It's probably in Xu Shi."
Xia Hanqiu looked at it and said, "What should I do? I can't go in at all, and the people inside can't come out. If the mountain collapses on a large scale, they don't even have a place to hide. They really won't die.
"Don't worry, Peng General, is there anyone watching over there?"
"It has always been there before, but we threw a lot of things in there before, but there was no reply. I plan to go and see the situation as soon as it's dawn."
"I can't wait for tomorrow morning." Duan Ziyi shook his head and looked at Xia Jing, " Li Rong, please cooperate with me. I'll take you to see what's going on. No matter how bad it is, you must come back and talk about it first. In addition. Bring out Jiabao, and the current situation is no longer suitable for him to stay there.
Xia Jing nodded, removed the rain gear, and moved his hands and feet. Take a few steps forward to the place where the mud and rocks are rushing.
"Qiu'er, step back a little." Holding Qiu'er's hand and holding the umbrella in her hand, Duan Ziyi wanted Qiu'er to go back to the carriage and wait, but he knew that Qiu'er would not be willing.
Xia Hanqiu nodded, "Be careful, uncle, you should also be careful."
Xia Jing turned around and nodded to her with a smile. Don't worry. I can't do fine work. I'm used to this kind of rough work. My second brother is not as good as me. There is no reason why I can't do it.
With previous experience. After only three attempts, Duan Ziyi sent him there. After a while, my body was soaked again.
"Fortunately, Mingde brought me five sets of clothes, otherwise it would not be enough."
Xia Hanqiu forced a smile and walked up the direction of the mudslide for a while. Duan Ziyi was worried and followed closely.
"In other way, do you think it is possible to build a bridge on it?"
Looking in the direction pointed by Qiu Er, Duan Ziyi understood her plan, "If you want to see if the geographical location is beneficial, I should have told Li Rong just now and let your second brother come out first. He is the best at these miscellaneous things."
Having said that, Duan Ziyi immediately called Peng over and asked him to go here to see the situation.
Peng will come back soon, "Your Majesty, it is impossible to build a bridge in this place above. Without that condition, there are people on both sides to protect it, and the people are also sad. It's too dangerous. The lower the mud and sand, the greater the impact, and the wider the range, unless you go up to the source."
"No, the mountain is too dangerous. If the luck is a little worse, there will be another mudslide, or the mountain collapses, and they have no way to live." Xia Hanqiu didn't want to veto this method, but her brain was active. "Peng General, are there any residents nearby?"
"No, the range of farmland outside the village is quite large, but this one disaster after another has also made the field almost the same as the wasteland."
"Then you can explore again and see if you can open a ditch somewhere to lead this mudslide to another place."
Peng's eyes lit up, "This is a good way. I'm going now."
Before Duan Ziyi gave his orders, Peng disappeared in front of the two of them.
"I should have thought of it earlier."
Duan Ziyi thought about the feasibility of this method and said, "You haven't seen it with your own eyes before. How can you think so far? It seems that you have come to Wanjia Village. No wonder you have to go this trip."
If this method is feasible, her arrival will really change Wanjia Village. Xia Hanqiu finally has a little more confidence in her heart and feels that the identity of the prophet is not so annoying.
"Change it!"
Duan Ziyi's ears moved, signaling that Ziye Zishuang stepped forward to help Qiuer retreat. He jumped high and saw that Xia Jing was calling him over there. The people standing beside him were Chen, Zhang Jiabao and Jiang Tao.
"I'll answer here. I'll find a way to send Jiabao first."
With previous experience, several people cooperated tacitly. Xia Jing held Zhang Jiabao and Chen Chen and jumped high at the same time. Xia Jing borrowed strength from Chen Chen to the air. Duan Ziyi sent a wooden board to his feet in time. Xia Hanqiu covered his mouth and did not dare to breathe. It was not until the two landed safely that their
"Sister..." Zhang Jiabao slowly rubbed over, happy and sad.
I'm glad that my sister came to see him in person. I can be sad that he made my sister worry so much. I have to be hit by the wind and rain here in the middle of the night.
"As long as it's okay." Xia Hanqiu touched his wet clothes and frowned with pain in his cold hands. "Why don't you change into dry clothes? At least there are hundreds of people there, so you can't find anything you can wear?"
"Sister, the clothes are just wet. Brother Chen made me a raincoat. It's very useful, and the clothes are not wet. When I came over just now, the raincoat was too heavy, so I had to leave it for others to use."
"There are clothes in the carriage. Go and change them quickly. If you are tired, rest in the carriage."
Zhang Jiabao hesitated for a moment and saw that Brother Chen also came over there before saying, "Sister, is there no way to save the people inside? More than 80 people have died from yesterday to today. There are only more than 400 people in Wanjia Village. This time..."
"My sister is trying to find a way out. You can change your clothes first and then talk."
"Oh, good." Hearing his sister's words, Zhang Jiabao suddenly became full of confidence and turned around and got into the carriage. His sister never said anything.
Chen Chen heard the last conversation between the two. He came over and wiped his face and asked, "Is there really a way?"
Xia Hanqiu hurriedly sent the umbrella forward, "I don't know if it's possible. Let Peng go to explore the way. If the location is good, maybe he can lead the sand elsewhere."
Chen Chen was at ease from the rain and ignored Duan Ziyi's eyes. He looked at the mud and sand in front of him and said, "It's slower than during the day. When we wait until tomorrow morning, we don't think of any other way, we should be able to send people out."
"There is no time. The rain keeps, and the mud and sand can't stop completely. If I can wait, I won't have come at this hour."
Chen Chen's pupils tightened and slowly turned his head to look at her, "What did you see?"
Xia Hanqiu's finger joints holding the handle of the umbrella turned white because of the force, and her voice was as dry as if it were squeezed out. "The mountains on three sides of Wanjia Village collapsed... There is no life."
Chen Chen was stunned and walked out of the umbrella in a flash. He was pulled by Xia Hanqiu, who was quick-eyed, "Second brother, where are you going?"
"I told all of us to come out quickly. I can't put all the people of Wuweiguan on it."
Hundreds of people in Wanjia Village don't care about the life or death, but they have to keep their own people first. How selfish they are, but such a second brother makes Xia Hanqiu close to each other. Once something happens, they naturally stay close to their own people first, and how many people can take care of the public first. She asked herself that The same is true for my brother.
"Second brother, wait a moment." After a little consideration, Xia Hanqiu said, "Let everyone in Wanjia Village leave the house and bring all the farm tools to the edge of the mudslide. This place is the safest place now."
Chen Chen nodded, "Oced, I know."
As soon as he was about to leave, he saw Peng running down from above, with joy on his face. "Miss Xia, I have seen it. The method you said should be feasible, and it should not be difficult to make it. You see, this is the soil on the mountain I brought down. This kind of soil is the easiest..."
Before the words were finished, the pile of soil in his hand was easy. Chen kneaded the soil a few times, looked carefully, and finally ran in the direction of the mountain forest without saying anything.
"Miss Xia, Mr. Chen, this is..."
Xia Hanqiu's face is almost transparent. It is easy to open a ditch for such soil, but... it is easier to collapse.
Duan Ziyi was not far away from the original. As soon as Chen Chen left, he made up for his position. He was wet and it was not easy to help Qiu'er. At this time, any comforting words were useless. He simply didn't say anything. He called someone to come over and ordered, "Take Fu Rui's order to go Come on, no matter what method you use, I just want the result.
The man said, 'Isn't this time inappropriate?' to his mouth, and finally gritted his teeth and swallowed it back. He rushed to the horse and left as fast as possible.
Now he is only glad that Wanjia Village is not too far from Anping County, and it is not an excessive to say that it is the nearest village to Anping County.
At this time, Chen Chen also came back, and his clothes were stained with mud on his hair. "Little sister, I'm afraid your prediction is accurate. This kind of soil can't be seen as good or bad at ordinary times, but now, it has been washed by the rain for so long, and it is very loose. No wonder several places in the Come on, just like the endless source of mud and sand in the mountains, so it is, so it is..."
After a pause, Chen Chen rubbed off the mud in his hand and walked towards Xia Jing, "Fourth brother, you give me a ride."
Xia Jing, who also listened to all the dialogues, didn't say a word of nonsense, "Come on."
Xia Hanqiu didn't say a word anymore. She did everything she could and thought of a way. Now, she can only grab time.
