To be honest, Xu Que didn't understand what these saints thought, but this was also good news, because he didn't worry about his golden eggs being stolen!
"Do you have any more questions?" Gao Lao asked.
"Yes!" Xu Que said without hesitation: "If I have not offended the Holy Family, what should I do if the Holy Family wants to kill me?"
"How could there be an unprovoked vendetta, and are you sure there will be such a day?" Gao Lao looked at Xu Que speechlessly. He felt that asking more questions was asking for trouble for himself.
"Everyone is bound to make mistakes, and the Holy Family should have military connections, right? There are also legal and magical connections. If I overthrow their so-called Holy Word in the future, do you think they won't hate me?"
Xu Que's words were like thunder, so frightened that Mr. Gao almost fell off his chair.
"What nonsense are you kidding? They are descendants of saints. If you want to die, don't hold me back!"
Xu Que was speechless. He just asked, is there any need to be so afraid?
But then again, if that day comes, what should he do?
Gao Lao couldn't answer Xu Que's words, so he simply told him his purpose.
When he heard that Mr. Gao was here for wine, Xu Que took out three jars from the Qiankun bag without saying a word and faced Yuexian.
"Just these three altars?" Gao Lao asked.
"Are you planning to give it away?" Xu Que asked in surprise.
"When it comes to drinking, of course you have to find someone to drink with. Besides, because you made such a scene the night before yesterday, the watchman here also knows your reputation, do you understand?"
Xu Que was speechless. He didn't expect that this matter would be noticed.
Helpless, Xu Que took out three more jars and faced Yuexian.
Seeing the six jars of fine wine placed in front of him, Gao Lao happily put them away, then said goodbye to Xu Que and flew out of the room gracefully.
Seeing Gao Lao leave, Xu Que's eyes twitched. Fortunately, he made preparations before going out, otherwise Gao Lao would definitely not be happy today.
No, how did this old man know that I came out early?
Go ahead, I was fooled!
Xu Que was very depressed. He should have reacted earlier, but he only remembered this after they left...
…
On the river beach in Zheyang County, several days of heavy rains will eventually cause floods. Mo Dongsheng stood on the embankment, looking at the rapidly increasing water level in front of him despite the heavy rain. His face looked extremely bad, because he hadn't had a good day's rest since the heavy rain came.
"What's going on upstream?" Mo Dongsheng asked a government official.
At this moment, the three hundred government officials temporarily dispatched by the government were like scouts, running upstream and downstream of the dam, reporting the flood level every moment.
"Reporting to your lord, the upper stream has collapsed. It is estimated that in another half hour, the water level will increase to four feet high!" A government official hurriedly reported back.
Hearing that the upper reaches had collapsed, Mo Dongsheng shouted without hesitation: "Let the workers in the coal factory, brick factory, and cement factory rest and rush to the upper reaches immediately. If the flood spreads, let them prepare a second plan immediately!"
"Yes!" The officer clasped his fists and accepted the order, and ran quickly towards the city.
Mo Dongsheng really didn't want the flood to spread. After all, Xu Que said that if the flood spread, it would submerge half of the factory area and even the dam.
At the same time, all factories have stopped working, and tens of thousands of workers are getting ready. All they are holding are bags made of straw. This is the second plan Xu Que asked the people to prepare, which is to fill in the soil and build a dam. Stop the flood!
This is an unprecedented moment in the history of Dayan.
It is also a new chapter that has never been recorded in the history of Dayan, because no one has ever tried to prevent floods in this way!
For many years, in the face of the Yellow River floods, the refugees have been living in separate camps. When the flood comes, they pack up their belongings and run to the nearest mountain peak, watching helplessly as the flood submerges their homes. Although there is nothing valuable at home, that It was their home, the place where their ancestors had lived for generations, but it was swallowed up and taken away by the general trend of heaven and earth. Who could bear the feeling of being bullied?
But this year is different. They have new hope, they have a new house, and they have people who make decisions for them. They don’t want to see floods engulfing their homes again. They want to resist. He withstood the torrential floods for Mr. Xu. , they don’t want Mr. Xu’s hope to be annihilated, and they don’t want to live a homeless life again!
News from the three prefectures and seven counties upstream came one after another, and news from the two prefectures and four counties downstream also came at the same time...
The embankment burst in Beiheyan County, Luzhou, upstream, causing numerous casualties...
Both sides of the banks of Jiangnan Prefecture in Luzhou, upstream, burst, causing an incalculable number of casualties...
Downstream, thousands of houses collapsed overnight in Lushan County, Yuzhou, and corpses were scattered everywhere. It was simply a scene of hell on earth.
Downstream, in Songshan County of Yuzhou, what used to be the Shilian Crossing Ferry, has now become a vast land with countless corpses...
"Sir, look quickly..." Li Guan pointed at the monstrous flood in shock.
Mo Dongsheng's eyes were so sharp. The moment he looked at the rolling flood, he saw four or five corpses rolling in the turbid waves...
Mo Dongsheng's eyes were angry and his hands were clenched tightly. He was not a cold-blooded person. Although he had been an official for decades and had seen countless tragedies in the world, he could never suppress the grief and indignation in his heart when he saw such tragedies.
The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. In the face of the general trend of heaven and earth, and in the face of great disasters, is human life really worthless?
Mo Dongsheng shed tears in anger, blending in with the downpour...
"Sir, you'd better rest..."
Mo Dongsheng slowly raised his hand: "As long as the flood does not recede, I will stay on the dam. I want to live and die with the people of Zheyang County!"
As the sky gradually darkened, the heavy rain continued.
The water level at this moment has risen to more than 1.5 feet. If this heavy rain continues for the next day and night, the flood will submerge the dam!
Xu Maofeng held the upper reaches with 20,000 soldiers. The soldiers held not weapons, but straw bags filled with soil.
The people quickly shoveled the soil into bags, and then quickly handed it over to the soldiers on the dam.
Just as darkness fell, the heavy rain stopped, and the water level in the darkness seemed to have stopped rising.
"Torches!" a messenger shouted loudly.
In an instant, a fiery red dragon lit up on the embankment. It was a scene of torches being lit, and it was a scene of thousands of people holding torches.
The torches were buzzing in the strong wind. The wind was strong and the waves of the flood were also strong.
Rows of waves hit the embankment continuously, and with each hit, everyone's hearts beat.
Seeing that the water level was still four feet high, Mo Dongsheng finally let go of his hanging heart. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't because the scenes in the afternoon never disappeared. The corpses, It was shocking to him...
"The flood has gone down! The flood has receded!"
As one citizen cheered, a group of people also began to cheer. They succeeded, they intercepted the monstrous flood!
Mo Dongsheng listened to the cheers and shed tears again. This time there was no heavy rain to wash away him, but he was very happy!
Just when he was about to turn around, a loud voice suddenly came from behind: "Sir, be careful..."
Mo Dongsheng didn't move. He was like an old tree, rooted on the embankment.
The strong wind carried huge waves, which hit the embankment heavily, and little splashes of water splashed high.
Mo Dongsheng looked at the water splashing on his clothes, and he smiled, for the first time in so many days.
The people stared blankly at the burly county guard. In their eyes, he was a God of War who braved the wind and waves...
"Brother Mo, you should take a good rest." Xu Maofeng came to Mo Dongsheng with a smile.
"Yes... the first wave of floods has passed, a full thirty hours... I didn't expect that none of the continuous dams were damaged. It's really a miracle!" Mo Dongsheng dragged his tired body and sighed.
Xu Maofeng said in agreement: "This cement is really a magical thing. It can withstand this huge flood. It seems that the siege of Beimang in three days will be very disappointing."
Mo Dongsheng laughed, Xu Maofeng also laughed, and they laughed amidst countless people holding torches.
