Wang Wenqi went up the mountain with an umbrella, wiped the rain from his face with his hand, and knocked on the gate of Cen's house.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Jue Ming hurriedly opened the courtyard door, saw that it was Wang Wenqi, and hurriedly moved away, "Why are you here in such a heavy rain?"

Wang Wenqi asked directly: "Weng Weng, he wants to ask if there is any vacant room in your house for Damo Township to store grain."

"The west chamber is empty, and there is nothing left." Cen Daonian stood at the door of the main room, answered directly, and then waved: "Come in quickly, and see how wet you are."

Wang Wenqi bowed to Cen Daonian, "Thank you for your kindness, Master, I have to ask Li Yanei and his family."

After speaking, Wang Wenqi took an umbrella and went to the small courtyard next door to knock on the door.

Jueming didn't close the door in a hurry. Through the rain curtain, he could vaguely see that many fields under the mountain had been filled with water, and many villagers were digging ditches in the fields without even wearing coir raincoats.

In ancient times, a little bit of natural and man-made disasters could destroy a family of ordinary people.

Seeing that Cassia Ming was in a daze, Cen Daonian walked up to him with an oil-paper umbrella. Seeing the people down the mountain like this, Cen Daonian couldn't bear it.

Jue Ming turned his head to look at Cen Daonian, his eyes were clear and lively, filled with impatience.

"Go." Cen Daonian said, "First boil the ginger soup."

"Yeah!" Jue Ming walked quickly to East Kitchen, cut a pile of ginger slices and boiled them in the pot, struck the iron with a flint stone, ignited the firewood, and carefully stewed a large pot of ginger soup.

Cen Daonian shook his head, took out the coir raincoat from the room, and put it on Caesar Ming.

With Cen's father's permission, Caesar walked down the mountain in the rain, and sure enough, he saw Uncle Shi helping the villagers to drain the water.

Seeing Judgment coming, Uncle Shi gave him a shovel and led him to use the shovel to expand the canal so that the water in the field could flow out quickly.

Wang Wenqi hurried down the mountain with an umbrella, and told each family that they could bring some food to the foot of the mountain. The three families living at the foot of the mountain were willing to vacate their houses for food.

Each household should be well marked and not put too much. After storage, elders will be arranged to prevent confusion.

"It's raining so heavily, don't people go up to the mountain to live?" Jue Ming asked worriedly, "At least it's coming? I still have empty beds at home."

Wang Wenqi shook his head. Lizheng still had to sit in the ancestral hall. Moreover, the ancestral hall was built on a higher terrain, so it was generally not flooded.

After digging the canal for a long time, Uncle Shi led Cassia back home, and went straight to the house to ask Aunt Shi and Cassia to pour ginger soup that had been boiled all morning, and then let him go home.

Gradually, villagers came to store food in the courtyard. Cen Daonian sat at the door of the west chamber, remembering how many things he had put in one by one, and each of them had a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold.

Seeing Jueming coming home, Cen Daonian took ginger soup and looked at him. Jueming shook his head hurriedly, "I drank a lot at Uncle Shi's house."

"Change out the wet clothes first." Cen Daonian lowered his head, holding a brush and kept writing accounts on the paper.

Jueming went back to the room, took off the wet clothes and wrung them out, pulled a rope inside the room, and put the clothes on to dry.

Worrying things still happened.

After lunch, Shen Yan brought more than a dozen small officials to Damo Township to inform the people to move to the mountains. A flood broke out in the canal upstream of the Daoliu River, and many villages along the river were flooded.

Li was leaning on crutches, and calmly ordered his sons to pack up. Women, children, and the elderly went up the mountain first, and the young and strong stayed behind to help the county magistrate clear the waterway.

The rain was a little heavier than yesterday, Qing Zhuang rolled his sleeves, stood in the rain and listened to what Li was talking about.

"It rained too much this time. If we don't fix the reverse flow river, the house might be flooded. At that time, whether it's green bricks or loess, it will be washed away with the water."

"So." Lizheng clenched his fist with his right hand, coughed, and after he calmed down, he continued, "I hope you all remember that helping the county magistrate is also helping your family, your wife and daughter."

The words aroused the fighting spirit of the young and strong present, and they all declared that they would follow the county magistrate and guard Damo Township.

Looking at this group of young people, Shen Yan had mixed feelings in his heart, some of them were strict fathers, some were filial sons, and even half-grown children came to make up the numbers.

Elder Qi took out the cassia with one hand, and said seriously, "You go home!"

"Chief Qi." Jue Ming shook his head, "I also want to protect Damo Township."

"There is no shortage of you here, you stay at home to guard." Elder Qi couldn't help but throw the cassia on the butcher's ox cart, and the yellow ox was led by someone, carrying grain and cassia, and walked up the mountain shaking.

The women were not idle either. They went up the mountain with thick branches on their backs, surrounded a few fields, and drove the poultry up the mountain.

There was a layer of oilcloth on the bullock cart, and a group of dolls were pulled up the mountain, under the watchful eye of Aunt Shi.

Under Li Zheng's command, Damo Township is preparing for the flood in an orderly manner—although everyone is praying that the flood will not come to Damo Township, and some even take the lead in kneeling in the direction of the mountain god.

Cassia was sitting in the room, holding the blue bead.

It must be impossible to mix in the crowd digging the water channel. How can I get close to the reverse flow river?

Otherwise, there is no way to use the beads to absorb water. Besides, the beads can absorb water endlessly, and it will be bad if they are surrounded.

Jueming didn't want to be found with beads before he ate a few ancient canary birds and wishful rolls. It would be a small matter if the beads were taken away, and it would be too bad if he was burned to death as a monster.

If you don't follow that group of people, it's not impossible to go secretly.

After making up his mind, Jue Ming took advantage of Cen's father who was busy recording food in the courtyard, put on a bamboo hat, and slipped quietly to the back of the house. Unexpectedly, Li Xiurong was also there.

"what are you doing?"

"what are you doing!"

The two spoke in unison, and Li Xiurong's mind turned quickly, "I want to see the river."

"Me too." Caesar pulled on his bamboo hat, "I want to go down and have a look."

Floods may break out at any time now, what is Cassia going to do? "Stop!" Li Xiurong grabbed the clothes behind Cassia Ming, "It's too dangerous down here! You can't go!"

"What if I have to go?" Jue Ming turned his head, his eyes filled with lacquer, as if the two met for the first time.

Li Xiurong was taken aback.

"What reason do you have to go to the river to see the water?" Li Xiurong held on to Cassia, "I can't let you take risks. What if something happens to you, what will Uncle Cen do!"

"I don't..." Jue Ming was about to explain that he would not take risks, when he suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound from the mountain.

not good!Cassia Ming turned pale and looked behind him.

A large piece of the mountain collapsed, and it rushed down the mountain with rolling stones and yellow mud, rushing straight to Li Xiurong's small courtyard!

In the blink of an eye, Jue Ming only had time to grab Li Xiurong's hand and shake it in front of him vigorously. Li Xiurong had no time to react, and rolled down the hill along the ramp.

There was only a piece of sandy land at the bottom of the slope. At this moment, the water level was soaring, and only the edge of the sandy land was left. The dim river water had submerged the stone bridge, and the river course could no longer be discerned. Lying on the edge of the sand, Li Xiurong let out a sigh of relief, "Do you know how noble the young master is, you are murdering! I want to sue you!"

"Then go ahead and sue." Jueming got up from the ground, and the bamboo hat fell somewhere, and now the two of them were sitting on the ground, covered in mud, washed by the endless rain from the sky.

Looking up, Li Xiurong's small courtyard was blocking the force of the collapse, so more than half of it fell down. The Cen family and the Shi family were far behind, so they were not hindered for the time being.

Li Xiurong followed Cassia Ming's line of sight and looked over.

"Jin, Jinshan." Li Xiurong pointed in the direction of his home, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Is this my small courtyard?"

"Otherwise?" Jue Ming wiped his face, "Go back quickly, otherwise Wu Yuan will be in a hurry not to find you."

"What about you?" Li Xiurong asked back.

"I still have something to do..." Jueming said, and seemed to hear the sound of "Boom" again.

Li Xiurong frowned slightly, this time he heard it too, and the sound came from the upper reaches of the river.

The two looked at each other and read a meaning from each other's eyes: the flood is coming.

"Let's go!" Li Xiurong got up from the ground and pulled Caesia Ming's wrist. Caesia Ming staggered and fell to the ground, enduring the pain in his ankle, "You go first, I sprained my ankle."

"You are so troublesome! You twisted your foot at a critical moment!" Li Xiurong let go of his hand, and picked up Cassia, "Grasp the young master!"

Jue Ming was startled, and subconsciously hugged Li Xiurong's neck tightly, "Put it down and I'll run!"

Can this sentence be more sincere?If you want me to let you go, why are you hugging me so tightly?Li Xiurong rolled his eyes, "I'm about to be strangled to death by you."

"Let me go! You can still go!" Jueming twisted his body. He had beads, so he could just take them out to absorb water. If he and Li Xiurong were washed away in the flood... this idiot might never be seen again.

"It's difficult to share." Li Xiurong only had time to say this, the beach was instantly submerged by a huge yellow wave, and the river surged several meters instantly, engulfing the two of them in the water.

Caesar took a sharp breath, and was pushed ten feet away by the oncoming huge waves.

—You fool.

The bottom of the water was not calm, Li Xiurong gradually loosened the posture of embracing Cassia Ming, closed his eyes tightly, and floated with the waves.

Jueming grabbed Li Xiurong tightly with one hand, and took out the beads from the neckline with the other.

Lanzhu seemed to feel the huge water source, although she didn't like the dirty river water, she reluctantly accepted Cassia Ming's instructions, and instantly formed a vortex above the river channel like a giant whale sucking water.

In the center of the vortex, Jue Ming hugged Li Xiurong, and slowly stood still in the center of the vortex, looking up, the blue light was glowing, comparable to the brilliance of the sun and the moon.

Li Xiurong's hands softened.

—Did he not hold his breath?

Caesar hesitated for a moment, leaned over, pressed his lips against his, and breathed out slowly.

In the haze, Li Xiurong only remembered that there was only one person sticking to him, and he was surrounded by a light that he couldn't look directly at, as if a god came into the world.

The vortex gradually weakened, Cassia raised his head, and the blue pearl trembled violently, and suddenly released a ball.

——It is traceability!

Surprised and delighted, Jueming dragged Li Xiurong to swim towards Suyuan, opened the hatch and stuffed Li Xiurong in, and then closed the first hatch.

After the hatch was drained of water, the second hatch was opened, and Cassia let out a long breath. Fortunately, there was oxygen here, so he would not die from lack of oxygen.

Lifting Li Xiurong to the chair and fastening his seat belt, Caesar looked out from the glass. After Lan Zhu vomited the thing that got in the way of Suyuan, he absorbed more water, and he could see the river above his head gradually approaching Suyuan.

I don't know how far the violent wave just carried me to Damo Township. If the water level drops and the source is revealed from the water, this kind of "monster" will attract the attention of the ancient people.

Now that there is no energy in the source tracing, Caesar can only wait for the blue beads to absorb almost, dragging Li Xiurong out of the source tracing, and swim to the river bank.

Put the person on the bank of the river, Cassia went into the water, took the blue pearl, let it take the source away, and then tossed ashore.
