Hand over the golden finger to the country

Although it didn't feel very reliable, Zhou Yi followed Yan Yan's words.

It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not.

After all, they are also immortals, maybe they really know the inside story, if they really pray for blessings to keep it from raining, then what if he just talks about it?

Zhou Yi breathed out and prayed devoutly: "God, please don't rain anymore, let the flood recede as soon as possible!"

"Bless you, let the sun come out."

"..."

On the next road, Zhou Yi turned on the Suan Sui Nian mode, muttering in a low voice while walking, with a focused and serious expression and a sincere tone.

Seeing his nagging, Zhou Zhou approached Yan Yan, leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "What kind of operation are you doing? Does it really work?"

Yan Yan shrugged, "I don't know either." Maybe.

Zhou Zhou looked at him with speechless eyes, he thought Yan Yan knew something and said so with confidence.

"Then what if he prayed all the way and it still rained?" Wouldn't that be disappointing?

Before Yan Yan could answer, Wen Xiao laughed first, "Maybe it's really going to be hard, I think the dark clouds are showing signs of dissipating."

Zhou Zhou widened his eyes slightly, looked up at the sky, and then at Yan Yan: "Is this a coincidence or something?"

Yan Yan looked at him with the same speechless expression, "Of course it's a coincidence! After so many days of rain, it should be sunny."

But when he said that, he was a little surprised in his heart.

Is Tiandao really paying attention to the following?Seeing my "son" praying for the rain to stop, is it really not going to rain?

Yan Yan calmly looked at Zhou Yi, who was following behind the guards, not paying much attention to the road, walking entirely by feeling, and still thinking about it.

If he is really the Chosen One, then it will be much easier to do everything in this world if you have a good relationship with him!He is powerful and powerful, so he can really get in touch with him.

Of course, these are not in a hurry, first hurry to see the situation, saving people and earning merits is the most important thing.

After so many days of rain, the road outside is really difficult to walk. It is basically full of mud and water. You can't walk with a carriage or anything, you can only walk.

After walking for a long time, you have to stop and scrape off the mud on your feet, otherwise your shoes will be covered with mud and it will be difficult to lift your feet.

Yan Yan and the others are okay, the shoes they wear are waterproof and comfortable, but Zhou Yi and the others are not. Even though they are made of leather, they are still very uncomfortable after walking for a long time.

The guards didn't care about this kind of thing, they were all people who had endured hardships, but Zhou Yi didn't say a word, and kept his head on his way, which made Yan Yan and the others look at him with admiration.

In ancient times, high-ranking officials and nobles were all served in all aspects. They didn't do any work when they were young, and they were extremely expensive.Not to mention that Zhou Yi is still a prince, and there are countless servants who serve him.

The group of them walked for two days, could not eat hot food or drink hot water, soaked in the mud all day, and kept on their way, Zhou Yi didn't complain.If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to endure this kind of hardship.

Just during the two days of getting along with each other while on the road, Yan Yan and the others' affection for Zhou Yi began to grow rapidly.

Zhou Yi really cared about the people and wanted to control the flood and rescue the disaster. After they arrived at Liujia Village next to the Tangnan River on the third night, he didn't rest, but was taken to the dam of the Tangnan River immediately.

Yan Yan and the others followed. When they came to the dam and looked at it, they found that there was already a lot of water blocked in front of the dam. When the water level was still rising, everyone's expressions were not very good.

To make matters worse, the water levels of several surrounding rivers are almost submerged. When they overflow and submerge the land, the situation will be even worse.

After more than a month of rain, the land and crops that have not been confiscated are already useless. If they are soaked for a long time, the soil structure will be completely destroyed, and they will no longer be able to cultivate.

Ordinary people in ancient times basically lived by farming. If they couldn't grow crops, how could they live?What to eat and drink?

If the situation gets worse and the floods flood, all the surrounding small rivers gather together and flow downstream, it is not known whether the dam of the Tangnan River can hold it.

The ancient dams were not made of special cement, and here is a border city in the country, where the city owner is being held to death. Although the river dam was newly built a few years ago, it is only made of wooden piles and stone strips.

If the flood rushes over and the dam collapses directly, the city below will also suffer disaster.

Zhou Yi's face was ugly, the joy of seeing the sun come out in the morning completely disappeared, replaced by anxiety and worry.

"Why is this dam so short!" Zhou Yi got angry very rarely, "The dam of such a big river is the same as that of an ordinary small river. Gao Qiong is greedy for the money here, why don't you fix it?"

There are many rivers near here, and it's not like he doesn't know it. It's really a deadly thing to do like this!

"Master, calm down!"

"My lord, calm down!"

Regardless of the mud on the ground, the guards and the villagers who brought them knelt down and shouted.

Yan Yan and the others were taken aback, this was the first time they had seen this kind of "master-slave superiority" situation up close.

Knowing that it was useless to get angry, Zhou Yi calmed himself down, asked them to get up, and asked, "How is the situation in the surrounding villages?"

"The embankment broke at night before, so the flooded villages didn't notice it. When they found it, it was too late, and there were countless casualties..."

"People in some villages abandoned their homes and fled. Some went to the city or to the mountains, but there was a mudslide on the mountain, and the situation of the people on the mountain is unknown..."

The people below reported the specific situation. There was no good news, and the situation was worse than the other. Hearing that everyone felt depressed.

"Send people to disperse all the people in the surrounding villages, and take refuge in the city, and come back when the situation is resolved." Zhou Yi gave the order, "Forcibly take away those who don't cooperate, to ensure everyone's safety."

"Yes!" The guard bowed his head and cupped his fists.

It was getting dark, Zhou Yi and Yan Yan lived in the house of the head of Liujia Village.

After a hasty meal in the evening, Zhou Yi and the others gathered around the table to look at the map and discuss how to control the water.

Zhou Yi said worriedly: "I don't know if it will be possible to strengthen and raise the dam now, the road is too difficult to walk, and it will take a long time to get here.

But no matter what, for the sake of safety, I decided to force people to come and repair Tangnan Dam. "

Yan Yan was stunned, "But there are many rivers nearby, and the upper reaches continue to flow downstream. If it's just blocked, it may be safe for a while. If there is an accident later, the situation will be more serious."

Zhou Yi bowed his hands to Yan Yan, and asked sincerely, "What's your opinion, sir?"

"There is nothing wrong with water and soil covering up, but if there is too much accumulation, if it cannot be stopped, there will be a greater flood disaster." Yan Yan looked at the map, pointed to the mountains, and said, "Isn't this behind?" Is there no one living in the wilderness? We can dig ditches and use dredging methods to divert the floodwater to other places and reduce the pressure on the dam.”

Zhou Yi's eyes widened, he grabbed Yan Yan and said hastily, "Sir, please explain carefully!"

Seeing Zhou Yi's shocked and suddenly realized expression, Zhou Zhou was a little stunned. Isn't this kind of water control method very common?Why is he like this?

Wen Xiao next to him knew why. He had read history books and travel notes. There had been floods in this world before, and they were all blocked. No one had proposed other ways to control the floods.

Anyway, if there is a flood, it will be blocked, and if it cannot be blocked, it will be finished. It is purely resigned to fate, and it does not know how to reform and adapt. It is very rigid.

Now that Yan Yan said "blocking is worse than sparse", it's not surprising that Zhou Yi was shocked as a heavenly man.

Wen Xiao didn't laugh at the rigidity of people in this world, and discussed with Yan Yan, a few people said something to each other, and quickly formulated a method based on the situation here.

Blocking must be blocked, but dredging cannot be left behind.

With a clear goal and hope, Zhou Yi smiled sincerely, but then he began to worry again: "Digging ditches is not an easy task. The workload is greater than strengthening the dam. Will we have time?"

"And you have to dig a mountain, this..." How can this be completed in a year or a half?Zhou Yi frowned. Although this method is good, it cannot solve the urgent need.

The four of Yan Yan looked at each other and smiled at each other: "Just leave this question to us."

Chiseling is slow, but blasting is fast!They bring a lot of tools, so they won't blow up the mountain.

"Since that's the case, I'll trouble you gentlemen! I'll thank you on behalf of the people around you!" Zhou Yi couldn't figure out what they could do, but he didn't get too entangled.

After all, they are immortals, maybe they can spell, and it is not surprising that they can chisel mountains.

Yan Yan waved his hand, "You're welcome." Just in time, help if you can, anyway, there are merits to be gained, and this matter is sure to make money.

Zhou Yi was very moved. He felt that Yan Yan and the others were worthy of being immortals. They simply helped him and the common people without any reward. It was an honor to meet them!

Yan Yantong and the others were also very moved, and felt that it was a good deal to find a powerful thigh hug in this world, and to take advantage of this opportunity to earn a lot of merit.

But no matter what, both parties are very satisfied and happy.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yi went back to the city to recruit people to work, and walked with the villagers who had packed their things last night.

The four of Yan Yan and the others took the map, went to the destination without anyone, and started measuring, preparing to blow up the mountain.

Blow up the mountain almost, and leave the rest to others, which can save a lot of time.

There was no one nearby, and a few people didn't worry about being seen. They took out high-tech products from the space button and started working. The efficiency was fast.

After the measurement, the bomb/bomb was taken out and the mountain was blown up. There was a huge sound, and the workers who rushed over on the road also heard the sound. They were still in shock and didn't know what was going on.

"What's that noise?" Someone panicked.

"God is angry!" Someone knelt down.

The crowd was in an instant riot.

The guards maintained order, and the team continued to set off. The person leading the team was Zhou Yi's personal bodyguard. He looked at the direction of the transmission, and knew that it was Yan Yan's location, and he became even more awed by them in his heart.

How can this be an ordinary person who can make such a big commotion?Is it really as the master said?Are they fairies?

"Boom!"

After a while, there was another loud noise, causing everyone to look up at the sky, and exclaimed, "A bolt from the blue!"

……

In a week's time, even with the operation of the lateral measuring tape, a small mountain was blown up by Yan Yan and the others.

The mountain is cleared, and all that remains is to dig ditches to welcome the water and divert it.However, there is no need for Yan Yan and the others to go into battle in person, otherwise it would be a waste of talents.

After Zhou Yizheng was finished, he beat Gao Qiong, the lord of the city, and came to the front line again, eating and living with everyone every day, paying attention to the situation of digging ditches and reinforcing dams all the time.

He is like a needle that stabilizes the sea, reassuring everyone who is anxious, frightened and afraid that they will die at any time.

He is a prince, and if he stays here, it means that the situation is not particularly serious, otherwise how would he dare?

Others felt that with Zhou Yi around, something really happened, the flood came, and the prince died with him, which was quite exciting.

But what's more, seeing Zhou Yi's dedication and hard work every day, seeing that he is indeed doing something serious, wanting to save everyone, and approving him from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking about my relatives and friends in the city behind, if they don’t work hard, they may be in danger, these people just grit their teeth and persist, no matter how hard or tired they are, they will not give up.

When Yan Yan and the others blasted the mountain and Zhou Yi brought people over to dig the ditch, everyone looked at the mountain and opened their mouths in disbelief.

"My God, this mountain is really clear!"

"Is there a loud noise these days? Is it from here?"

"What kind of fairy art is this? The mountain was fine before, unexpectedly, unexpectedly!"

……

The people were stunned, and Zhou Yi was not much better, but he is a prince after all, and he still has to maintain his image in front of everyone.

So he pretended to be nonchalant and directed the people to start working. After finishing the process, he trotted to Yan Yan's place and said with a full face of amazement: "You guys are too good. It's only been a few days. You really chiseled the mountain. wore!"

Zhou Yi didn't ask them exactly how they operated it, nor what happened to those loud noises, so he thanked Yan Yan and the others with a smile on his face.

Yan Yan simply liked his knowledge so much that he didn't ask any questions that shouldn't be asked, which really made people feel comfortable.

"Leave the next thing to me. It hasn't rained anymore recently. Although the nearby river has overflowed, our progress is not bad. At least we have the situation under control. When we dig the ditches and channels Okay, everything will be fine!" Zhou Yi was very excited.

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi bowed his hands and bowed deeply to Yan Yan and the others, "There is no way for Zhou Yi to repay the gentlemen's great kindness. When the matter is over, I will definitely report to the emperor after I return to Beijing and invite the gentlemen. seal up!

Whatever happens in the future, gentlemen, feel free to come to me, and you will die without hesitation! "

Yan Yan quickly helped him up, "This is what we should do."

After Zhou Yi stood up, Yan Yan smiled again: "Don't worry, we will definitely come to you if we have something to do in the future, don't be annoyed!"

Zhou Yi's expression was serious: "Absolutely not annoying! I wish the gentlemen would come to see me every day!"

"Haha." The four of Yan Yan laughed.

"Leave this to me, gentlemen, hurry back to the city." Zhou Yi took out a small golden token from his body, and said: "The situation in the city is not very good, the imperial decree and relief food are on the way, Gao Qiong is about to move, The grain merchants in the city seem to be driving up the price, and the grain donated by the rich merchants is almost enough to eat, and the situation of the refugees is not good."

Zhou Yi sighed: "Gentlemen have worked so hard for so long, I shouldn't bother you, but I can't go back, the people around me who can be used can only be thick-skinned, gentlemen, please help!"

Yan Yan nodded, "It's okay, let's go back and check the situation."

Seeing Yan Yan agreeing, Zhou Yi smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the token to Yan Yan and said, "This is my token. Seeing it is like seeing me. With it here, Gao Qiong dare not do anything." of.

The imperial decree, food, and money are all on the way, and they will arrive in a few days if there is no accident. Gentlemen, please hold him back. "

"Okay." Yan Yan took the token and put it in his arms.

"I'll send someone to take the gentlemen back." Zhou Yi felt relieved when the matter was handed over to Yan Yan.

They are immortals. Although they are helpless in the city, gentlemen must have a way!

If Yan Yan knew that Zhou Yi was so confident in them, he would probably be dumbfounded. They are not so confident themselves, it is outrageous!

One of Zhou Yi's guards sent Yan Yan and the others back to the city. Before the crowd entered the city gate, they saw the commotion. The officers and soldiers pointed knives at the refugees and seemed to drive them all out.

"What's the situation?" Zhou Zhou asked in surprise, was Gao Qiong so arrogant this week when Zhou Yi was not around?

It's okay to drive people out directly.

The guard was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect such a situation to happen, "Gentlemen, wait a moment, I'll go and ask about the situation."

Yan Yan stopped him, "Let's go there together."

"Yes!"

Yan Yan and the others walked over quickly, and when they walked in, they found that the officers and soldiers surrounded the group of people, but they were all standing far away, just pointing with knives, not approaching at all.

"What's the situation? Why did you drive people out?" The guards stopped the leading officers and soldiers and asked sharply.

There were only a few guards that Zhou Yi brought over, all the officers and soldiers knew each other, and when they saw him questioning, they began to explain.

"My lord, it's not that we are unkind and want to drive people out, but we dare not leave!" Pointing at the group of people, the officers and soldiers said, "They have the disease! It will be contagious! The city lord ordered the people to be driven out for the sake of the whole world." People of the city!"

The guard's expression paused. The epidemic situation was too serious. If this was the case, he couldn't stop the people from being driven out.

There was no way, the guards looked at Yan Yan and the others.

Yan Yan and the others took two steps back when they heard that it was an epidemic. They were afraid of contagion on the one hand, and on the other hand they were still cautious.

If it is really a serious infectious disease and it is brought back to the blue country, it will be miserable.

"When did it appear? What are the symptoms of the sick person? Are there many people who have the disease? How about contact with the sick person? Has it been brought under control?" Encountering this situation, Wen Xiao was the first to stand up.

"This is...?" The officers and soldiers watched Wen Xiao stand up and asked for a while, but they didn't answer. They first asked the guards who they were.

Guard: "My lord's teachers, specially invited to control the water and help."

This was specially ordered by Zhou Yi, fearing that Gao Qiong would use his status to overwhelm Yan Yan and the others, so he simply came up with a fictitious name to raise their status all of a sudden.

"Hey! I'm so young that I don't know Taishan! I'm offended!" The officers and soldiers suddenly changed their faces, smiled a few words, and began to reply to Wen Xiao's words.

"They had diarrhea and vomiting! At first they thought it was simple diarrhea, but everyone ignored it, but one day later, when he was serving the porridge, he vomited directly in the face! The number of people with diarrhea increased the next day.

There is more than one such situation in the refugee camp. The city lord sent someone to look at it, and the doctor said it was an infectious disease!The city owner quickly asked us to drive people out. "

Wen Xiao asked a few more words about the patient's condition, then frowned and asked, "Is there a river in or near the city?" He didn't remember.

This is a disease that is easy to appear after the flood. It is caused by drinking unclean water. There is no river nearby. How could this happen?

"There is no river, but a group of refugees came in two days ago, and the doctor said they might have brought them in."

The people in the upper reaches are almost dead, and the surviving people in the nearby villages and towns have long been taken to the city. Where did the refugees come from?

Yan Yan suddenly thought of those people who had fled to the mountains, and sighed inwardly.

The situation in the city was not good at first, but now that there is an epidemic, Gao Qiong has even more excuses to make trouble.
