The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

The thirty-first year of Guangxu's reign was also 1905 in the Western calendar. Later generations called it "Einstein's Miracle Year."

Even in later generations, Zhao Chuanxin would not be able to understand the six papers he published in this year.

After leaving Tianjin, he did not return to Lugang Town, but continued south.

At the beginning of the eighth lunar month, he arrived in Jiangsu.

Transportation becomes more developed as you go south, and more railway lines are opened.

After arriving in Jiangsu, we were hit by strong winds and heavy rains.

The third tide of the first month, the eighteenth water, in the blink of an eye, it didn’t reach the mouth.

This is a folk proverb that later spread in the streets and alleys.

On the third day of August, due to heavy rains and typhoons, the streets and alleys of coastal cities were flooded in an instant.

On this night, Zhao Chuanxin was taking a walk, but wind, rain and tide came at the same time.

He only remembers the important things in history, and has no idea that there are natural disasters at this moment.

Witness the shocking sight of the water level rising five to six feet above the seawall.

Countless people's homes were flooded.

He was also very scared. When the flood came, he activated the blue ghost armor and swam upstream in the water.

A common man with five children in his family was waiting desperately for death when he saw a man's head suddenly emerge from the water.

"Adults, each of you holds a child, cover your mouth and nose, and I will take you out!"

No one moved, they were all petrified.

Zhao Chuanxin repeated it again, and only then did the family react.

A woman holding a child was carried into the water by Zhao Chuanxin.

He did not dare to stay underwater for long, so he left the house and quickly emerged from the water.

The woman was choked and coughed, and the tide came in waves. Zhao Chuanxin just lifted the two of them out of the water and walked forward.

Xingyue gave a rough route and finally found a high position and sent the woman up.

It was windy and rainy, and it was impossible to hold an umbrella at this time, so I could only let the rain soak me.

Zhao Chuanxin rescued the whole family in one breath, and then rushed to the next family.

After all, personal power is limited, and the endurance of the Blue Ghost Armor underwater can be said to never be exhausted. But many people had been drowned by this time, and bodies were scattered everywhere in the water.

He tried his best, but in the end he only saved more than 200 people.

I was exhausted and exhausted.

Sitting on the roof, he gasped for air.

Looking at the shocked people, he smiled bitterly and said: "The rain is not so heavy now. I will find a sampan or a small boat to take you away first."

There were silent sobs all around, and someone knelt down on the roof in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't waste any energy to help him. Did you know that he didn't have the energy?

He started again and found the boat that had been overturned and submerged in the harbor. He spent a lot of effort to get it out of the water, and then pushed it underwater.

"Leave all your luggage here, take only your valuables, and get on the ship quickly. There are still people who are still alive waiting to be rescued."

Although he only rescued more than 200 people, many people survived and found high places waiting for rescue.

At this time, the government is completely unable to come to the rescue!

A woman refused to let go of her burden: "These are new clothes, you can't throw them away."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Okay, you can wait to die here with your clothes. Others come up."

A man pushed away the person next to him: "I'll go first."

Zhao Chuanxin jumped up suddenly and pushed him into the water so that he could not be swept away.

He said coldly: "The old, weak, women and children will go first, the men will wait for the next wave."

The man didn't dare to compete with this fierce man, so he had to crawl up the shore and hide aside, holding his arms and shivering.

The woman holding the revenge cried and howled, and finally threw away the baggage.

Pushing the boat was even more hard work. Zhao Chuanxin worked hard that night and transported hundreds of people.

Until daybreak, I felt exhausted and completely unable to get up.

Hundreds of people surrounded Zhao Chuanxin to protect him, all of them silent, their eyes full of gratitude.

Zhao Chuanxin muttered: "I'll sleep for a while first, you guys watch me and don't let the water sweep me away."

"My benefactor, go to sleep. Even if I die, I won't let the water sweep you away."

"Yeah, I'm here to watch over you."

While Zhao Chuanxin was sleeping, Jiangsu Governor Lu Yuanding organized manpower to provide disaster relief.

When they saw hundreds of people gathered here, they came over curiously to ask.

When they learned that the man lying on the ground had saved hundreds of people, a group of government officials were stunned!

"Whose name is this person? Report it to me and I will take credit for him!"

"Amazing, amazing!"

In the surging water, it is difficult for people to survive. Who would have expected that there are still people who can save people with their bare hands?

And saved hundreds of people.

With this kind of courage, I'm afraid Xiang Yu would only be like this in his lifetime!

A government official exclaimed: "This man has gone to the battlefield, and he is probably a fierce general who can defeat thousands of people!"

When Zhao Chuanxin woke up, the people surrounding him were still there.

"My dear benefactor, this is the dry food left for you. Eat some of it."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the blistered pancakes and simply shook his head: "You can eat it yourself. I saw a lot of goods from the commercial port were washed away. I guess I can find some food."

Saying that, he got up and entered the water.

The people watched their benefactor enter the water, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared more than ten meters away, and they were all shocked.

"My benefactor is so watery!"

"No matter how good the water quality is, I'm afraid it can't be so fast, right?"

"When I asked my benefactor his name before, he said that others call him the Great Mage. My benefactor must know magic! Otherwise, how could he save so many people?"

"This is a living Bodhisattva!"

Zhao Chuanxin found a deserted place, went ashore, opened a can, took out a slightly hard white-flour steamed bun and ate it.

After eating and drinking, he took out his telescope and looked around.

The trend was still very strong at this time, but it was much worse than last night.

He saw some people from the yamen who were swinging oars in the water to rescue people, and they were looking for survivors to get on the boat.

This is a coastal area, and there are small boats on both the sea and the river. Zhao Chuanxin found another empty boat, took out some food and utensils from the space, loaded it on the boat, and pushed it towards the rescued people.

"This is what I collected. Share it with everyone. Don't grab it. Everyone takes some. If you are not full, eat more. Go nearby to see if there are any surviving people. Everyone should stretch out while ensuring their own safety. To lend a helping hand.”

After everything on the boat was cleared, Zhao Chuanxin pushed the boat into the water and rowed away.

He joined the rescue workers at the yamen gate.

At this time, he had already boarded the boat and rowed forward.

Together with these search and rescue personnel, we rescued people in waves.

A government official pointed to a house and exclaimed: "There is a child there."

Zhao Chuanxin looked over and saw a child with only half of his head above the water, and was still submerged in the water from time to time.

There seemed to be something beneath his feet that saved him.

The water there was so fast that even if the boat was rowing, there was no guarantee that it would be able to come back, so the government officials did not dare to step forward, let alone swim in the water.

There are undercurrents everywhere at the moment, and anyone who is not careful will be swept away.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Come here and rock the oar, and I will save the child."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he plunged into the water.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the child and lifted the child up.

The child was half-floating in the water, somewhat frightened, waving his hands in the air.

But the speed is very fast.

After a while, they came to the boat.

The child struggled to climb onto the boat, only to find that someone was holding him under the water.

Zhao Chuanxin showed his head and bared his teeth at him.

The Yamen servants cheered loudly!

Zhao Chuanxin shouted: "Anyone who is difficult to save will be rescued by me!"
