Plane Store: I rely on five-star reviews to become rich and live forever
Chapter 472 I took a group photo with the monster 46
Gu Xingyan's "organizing" was very simple. He asked Datu to help search for disaster relief measures suitable for ancient times, sifted through them himself, printed them out, and put them into a waterproof document bag.
Two hours later, the government officer passed by this street again, but he was not the same person as before.
However, he knew that this was the case, so he took away the document bag, stuffed it into his raincoat with great care, and then left.
The rain was getting heavier, but everyone knew that it was just an appetizer compared to a real flood.
People kept running out of their homes to bring back some food, wet firewood or sandbags packed from outside.
Seeing this, Gu Xingyan knew that his suggestion had been adopted.
The county magistrate also had some very important measures that Gu Xingyan couldn't find at all.
For example, he sent a group of people to patrol the dike and prepared black dog meat in advance, as well as rice dumplings made from beans of five colors.
Sure enough, in the evening, I saw a group of green-haired "ducks" flying freely in the rain from a distance. When they saw a dam, they dropped to the water and swam around leisurely.
Immediately, a man repairing the dam came to inform the government officials.
The yamen officer's alarm bell sounded loudly, "Here comes someone, bring up the black dog meat and five-color rice dumplings!"
Several women immediately ran out of the kitchen, each with a mountain of sacrifices in their hands.
"throw!"
The women obeyed the order and threw the sacrifices to the green-haired "ducks".
The "ducks" scrambled to take away the sacrifices. None of them were wasted, and then they left with satisfaction.
The yamen, husbands, and women all breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"Hurry up! The funi has been driven away, let's raise the dike higher!" the government officials ordered everyone.
"Everyone should pay attention to observation. We must not let water monsters like Funi stay for too long, otherwise the dam will collapse at night!"[1]
"Yes!"
"Report——"
"Say!"
"We found luo fish in the water on the east side!"[2]
"When victory appears, the country will be flooded; when midge fish appear, the city will be flooded! It can be seen that floods are not far away from us. Everyone, hurry up and don't cut corners!"
"Yes!"
In Deshun County, the county magistrate encountered a new problem.
"Sir, we just tried it. The sandbags are very effective in blocking water. We can mobilize the women in the city to sew sandbags together to further heighten the dam!"
The county magistrate said worriedly: "That's good, but we don't have that much linen!"
The master also sighed: "Many poor people don't even have enough to make clothes. How can they be willing to make sandbags?"
The rain now has reached the point of pouring down, and even people walking outside feel pain from being hit.
Water began to accumulate in low-lying areas on the street, reaching the top of the feet. It may soon reach the height of the threshold, and then seep into people's homes.
"Go and ask the cloth merchants if you can lend the linen in stock to the county government on credit, and then we can raise money to replenish them later."
"I don't know if they are willing to..." The yamen servant was a little embarrassed, but he set off immediately and ran out in the water.
The county magistrate and the master also put on their raincoats and looked ready to go out.
"Then I will go and beg them myself!"
The magistrate and the master were scholars after all, and they wore long robes, so walking by water was a bit slow.
When they arrived at the door of the largest cloth merchant in the county, the yamen servant was having a heated argument with someone and was kicked out by the servants.
With a bang, the door was closed tightly, and people inside could be heard moving sandbags to block the door.
"Humph!"
The county magistrate was very angry. He used the methods offered by everyone but refused to contribute his own efforts.
It’s not like he takes other people’s things for nothing, he’s really not a good guy!
"Let's go to the next one!"
Several people were staggering under the impact of the fierce rain, supporting each other and knocking on the door one after another, each one more embarrassed than the other.
"Sir, this is my extra linen. Please accept it."
Opposite the photo studio, the back door of Cen's house opened, and Qing Niang carried two pieces of cloth out.
Although she is transformed into a paper figure, she has the ability to pray for clear skies. Therefore, when rain falls on her body, it will directly turn into clouds and smoke, unable to wet her at all.
At the same time, she also signed up to join the water monster control team and was assigned to guard the Taoyuan neighborhood.
The county magistrate and others who found nothing accepted it with tears and continued to the next cloth village.
Gu Xingyan witnessed the whole process and felt a little uncomfortable. But not long after, she heard the Yamen servant walking at the front excitedly shouting:
"Sir, Wangjia Cloth Shop is willing to donate all the linen for free!"
The county magistrate and the master were supporting each other. The rain was about to penetrate their bamboo hats, and the leaking water covered their faces, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
But this does not affect their good mood:
"Okay! Okay! Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang!"
The words of thanks were almost inaudible due to the pounding rain.
The government officials, as well as the Wang family's servants, transported the linen out together.
Good news comes one after another.
"Sir, the Zhao family embroidery house has already sewn fifty sacks, and it doesn't cost any money!"
"Liujia Dyeing Shop also sent a lot of linen cloth, and they were all piled up in the county government office!"
The required linen has reached the expected level, and the county magistrate realized for the first time that Taoyuan Street, which is usually not very eye-catching, is his blessed place!
Adhering to the principle of more, the better, the county magistrate simply walked the entire Taoyuan Street. When he passed the Zhang's tailor shop, he had no intention of knocking on the door.
Because the cloth in the tailor shop is not much, it is more abundant than ordinary households, so it is better to share it with neighbors for emergency needs.
But Zhang Chengcai still took the initiative to open a window.
"My lord, my lord, I also have linen at home!"
"Thank you very much!"
The county magistrate held his hands, which were very rough from years of needlework, and the other hand only had a layer of calluses where the pen was held, but everyone's mood was highly consistent.
"Have you prepared enough sandbags? The water on the street is up to my calves."
"Enough is enough! Don't leave yet, sir. My wife will bring you a few bowls of ginger soup. Drink it before you leave!"
With that said, Zhang Chengcai went back to the house to pack the cloth.
While drinking ginger soup, Zhang Chengcai heard that Shopkeeper Wang and his family had donated a lot of linen. He was surprised and sighed again.
Their own situation is not much better, alas...
Gu Xingyan also started to get busy here, calling Wu Youhe who had been off for a day and a half to come back to help.
Because Taoist Master Shangqing is back.
Drenched all over, he also brought back a dozen little monsters.
He knows very well that no matter how kind-hearted a human being is, he cannot be taken advantage of too much, otherwise he will not be able to be a friend.
He presented a rusty copper plate with both hands:
"This is the true form of the old man. I beg the boss to give these children a way out."
