Chapter 332: Changes Overnight
The temporary camp was packed with tents, and dirty water flowed in the troughs.
The blacksmiths poured iron blocks into the furnace and poured molten iron into the mold.
Xu Yuelong noticed Liang Qu, said a few words to Yu Dayi, and waved his hand.
Liang Qu didn't have time to put down his things, so he asked Lu Xinqing to wait outside, and followed Xu Yuelong into the big tent.
Xu Yuelong sat behind the desk, and his expression was visibly tired, perhaps because he knew what Cheng Chong had done.
Ke Wenbin arrived yesterday, but Liang Qu was a day late. He took a boat alone to other relief points to dispel the water plague, and only arrived at Qiugong Dike today.
Xu Yuelong spent a whole day to accept the fact that the previous achievements and advantages of clearing the fish gang were gone, and he even owed half of his buttocks a debt.
Thinking back, it was actually Wei Lin who was lucky.
He didn't get any benefits, but he didn't suffer any harm either.
"Let me show you this."
Xu Yuelong massaged his swollen temples and moved a half-broken stone bar from his feet. The table he was carrying groaned under the heavy load.
"Before Wenbin came yesterday, the people from the Sanfasi had already started investigating. They found several broken stone bars and speculated that the cause of the embankment destruction was artificial planting of water stone roots and trees, but they didn't know who it was."
Liangqu went around in a different direction and found several plant roots growing from the cross-section of the stone bar.
The embankment stone bars are always under the impact of the river, and ordinary plants can't take root and sprout on them.
The evidence is complete, oral and physical evidence, Cheng Chong is undoubtedly the direct person who destroyed Qiugong Dike.
The pot of the river and lake is firmly on the pot.
After accepting the reality, Xu Yuelong felt a little relieved.
"Thanks to you, I didn't go as bad as I thought. I wanted to give you a chance, but it turned out to be the most correct decision I've made so far."
Liang Qu scratched his temples: "It's all luck."
Xu Yuelong shook his head: "As far as I know, Wei Shao has been leading a team of fishing boats around Huazhu County. It was luck that he caught Cheng Chong. What about the disaster map you drew? Did you bring the mission record?"
"I brought all of it."
Liang Qu picked up the cloth bag at his feet and took out a thick stack of documents from it.
There were mission records, documents about people's sentiments, documents related to the Shahe Gang, and confessions from other people.
Of course, the most important thing is the mission booklet inside, which records Liang Qu's actions and related achievements after arriving in Huazhu County.
Xu Yuelong opened it and scanned it for a few times, then closed it and put it aside: "I will report it truthfully, you kid wait for the credit.
But because the dam breach itself was caused by our people, your credit may not be as high as you think.
So Kaiyun and Yipeng asked me to ask you before they left last night if there was anything you wanted, so that I could make it up to you.
Don't refuse, I promised you, if Wei Lin knew it first, their situation would be ten times more difficult than it is now, if they can't do it, I will help."
Liang Qu thought for a moment: "I promised the Shahe Gang to save their lives, but with my position and ability, I'm afraid I can't keep this promise. If possible, I would like to trouble Master Ti Ling to help."
Silence for a moment.
Xu Yuelong laughed out loud.
Liang Qu's sudden request swept away the haze he had from yesterday to now.
"This doesn't count! I won't let you go back on your word. I'll give you a promise and change it!"
"Then bring me a bow, preferably a spiritual weapon."
Liang Qu took out the black iron bow and put it on the table.
"This bow..."
Xu Yuelong raised his eyebrows.
He remembered the black iron bow. If he remembered correctly, it belonged to Liu Jie, the leader of the Whale Gang. He gave Liang Qu a hint before taking it.
Xu Yuelong grabbed the bow, infused it with blood, and keenly sensed the slight damage inside the bow arm.
It was obviously the negative impact of overload use. It was fine for the time being, but it would soon be scrapped if it was used for a long time.
A few months...
Growing up so fast.
"Okay, I'll send someone to tell you right away that the new bow will be in your hands before October!"
"Thank you for the tip!"
"You've worked hard all the way. Go down and rest first. I'll send someone to arrange a tent for you."
Midnight.
A tent somewhere in the camp.
Liang Qu sat up from the bed and went down to the Black Water River.
The entire camp was still busy, with several red furnaces smelting iron blocks day and night.
The water flow at the breach was the most turbulent, and there was no foothold in the water, so ordinary warriors could not get close. Only martial artists above the fourth level could enter the river to repair the dam.
Building the dam was urgent, and the shortage of manpower meant working overtime.
Under the light of the camp fire, black figures stood on the remaining dam, busy like ants.
A martial artist holding a stone looked at the Black Water River and suddenly froze, and the orderly team stopped in an instant.
The people behind urged.
"Hurry up, what are you doing?"
"Why is the front not moving?"
The martial artist put down the stone and pointed to the water level behind the dam: "Has the water level dropped?"
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.
"Ah, it seems so, it's dropping so fast!"
"What's going on? Did the water level drop suddenly?"
"Maybe it stopped raining today?"
"The sun isn't very bright."
Everyone stood on the remaining embankment, marveling at the water level that had dropped a lot compared to the evening.
The chief clerk nearby hurriedly recorded this wonder and sent someone to notify the camp's chief.
Xu Yuelong and Yu Dayi stood on the remaining embankment, hundreds of torches illuminated the Blackwater River in orange.
A martial artist volunteered to dive to the bottom of the water to check.
After a while.
A head popped out of the orange river.
"The riverbed has deepened! The riverbed near the entire dam has deepened!"
Yu Dayi was overjoyed: "Good news, good news! Don't stop, hurry up and repair the dam!"
Xu Yuelong frowned, why did the riverbed suddenly deepen?
The camp was restless.
The craftsmen on duty woke up one after another and rushed to cast stone slabs for repairs.
Liangqu lifted the curtain, looked at the camp that had all awakened, took a deep breath, and went back to sleep.
The water was more powerful than expected.
Following the direction of the runoff, Liangqu can drive hundreds of thousands of tons of water to repeatedly flush the riverbed.
Before the physical strength was completely overdrawn, the overall riverbed near the dam dropped by more than three feet!
In the next two days, a wonder appeared.
The water level difference before and after the dam disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The deepening of the riverbed made everyone incredible. Several river officials felt that what they had learned all their lives was fake, and their beards and hair fell off in clumps.
On the eighth day after the breach, the continuously decreasing water level of Dashekou became even lower than the remaining dam, and suddenly there was no water!
Without the source, the flood outside the remaining dam finally showed a trend of receding, flowing and scouring to the lower places, rushing like thunder.
The ninth day after the breach.
The scorching sun.
The riverbed of the Heishui River was lowered, and the news that there would be no more floods spread all over Huazhu County like wings.
With the source cut off, it was only a matter of time for the remaining water to recede, and there was finally a bit of joy on the sad face.
In an unknown small village, the village elders stared at the gradually receding water level in the village, stunned.
The villagers shouted for the wisdom of the Jianghuai River God.
Soon, the story of the Jianghuai River God's action to regulate the Heishui River began to spread like a miracle.
In the camp, the chief clerk looked through the past county records and was surprised to find that this flood was the fastest to recede in all dynasties.
Even, there was no major epidemic?
The disease still existed, but it did not form a large-scale infection, and a large number of elderly people died.
The outside world is changing day by day, and various versions of myths are flying everywhere.
Liang Qu stayed in the camp from beginning to end, and fed the viscera and bones of the red dragon fish to the water beasts that came back from all directions.
Taking this opportunity to check the status of the beasts, Liang Qu was surprised to find that Awei could evolve.
[You can consume 136 points of water essence to make the two-winged sky water centipede evolve into a four-winged source water centipede]
136, Liang Qu just had it.
He took Awei away from the camp and filled the gap in a jungle, and a hint that had never been seen before suddenly appeared.
[Four-winged source water centipede can choose evolutionary branches]
[Poison mist]
[Flying]
[King Kong]
