Chapter 143 Diversion of water

 After the heavy rain stopped, the people in the cave and the people in the wooden house finally came out.

They came to the edge of the cliff and looked towards the city, only to hear sighs.

Our lives have been saved, and now we are faced with post-disaster reconstruction.

Yu Wan saw this scene when she came out of the space.

“Aunt Jiang, go back, it’s windy on the mountain, be careful of catching a cold,” a girl said while supporting a woman in her forties.

Aunt Jiang reluctantly withdrew her gaze towards the city, turned around and was supported back by the girl.

"Dad, did you say that mother is waiting for us at home? When will we go back?" A little girl asked while lying in the arms of a man, and the man's gaze was also in the direction of the city.

The man touched the little girl's head and said, "Don't worry, Erya. We'll look for your mother and brother when the water recedes."

 The little girl nodded dullly, and then nestled in the man's arms.

 And the man's eyes were already filled with tears.

Scenes like this appeared in Yu Wan's eyes one after another. She shook her head, helpless.

This made her more determined to practice. Once a monk reaches the golden elixir stage, these natural disasters will no longer pose a threat to her, and she will not be so helpless.

 At night, Yu Wan sat alone on the cliff, looking at the stars in the sky that he had not seen for a long time.

 "Whoosh", two sounds came, and the little snake and Xiaojin landed at the same time.

“Uncle Bai, are you all back?” Yu Wan stepped forward.

 Bai Ziyi came down and said, "Why are you here alone? Let's go back."

Mr. Futai over there was also helped down by the guards, greeted her and went back to the cave.

 She saw that Mu Jiuchen and his troops had not returned, so they must have been stationed at the scene.

Yu Wan followed Bai Ziyi back to Yu Sansheng's wooden house, which was separated by several small rooms.

In the room, after Bai Ziyi asked Yu Wan to sit down, he also sat down and then said: "Xiao Si'er wants to know how it is?"

Yu Wan nodded.

Bai Ziyi looked solemn and said: "The floods in some places have receded, but the houses have been basically soaked and useless. Nine out of ten houses are empty."

The ten rooms and nine empty, how many people's life was the life of this heavy rain.

 It seems that this water is really going to be diverted to the northeast. There is a lot of land and mountains in the northeast. You can lead it to the mountains and dig ponds in the ground to store water like her Zhuangzi.

 “What is Xiaosi’er thinking?” Bai Ziyi saw that she was dazed.

Yu Wan came back to her senses and said: "Uncle Bai, I'm thinking of diverting the water here to the northeast. There are little snakes and little golds. It will be quick and no manpower is needed."

Bai Ziyi knocked on the table, and after a long while he said: "I have reported this matter to your uncle. I believe your uncle will approve it. There are floods every year in the south, but the size is different every year. This year's floods It’s even more special.”

This flood problem is not something that happens every year or two. If it can really be solved, it will be a major event that will benefit the country and the people.

Yu Wan did not expect that Bai Ziyi had already reported it to the court. This Jiang was still very old, and he was mature and comprehensive in thinking and doing things.

She asked: "Uncle Bai, when you come back this time, do you still want to go?"

Bai Ziyi nodded: "I sent Mr. Futai back. His body is holding up well now."

This Mr. Futai is a good official who does his duty well.

Yu Wan sat for a while and returned to her wooden house, then entered the space.

The next day, Yu Wan and Bai Ziyi sat on the back of the little snake and walked away together. The matters on the mountain were left to Mr. Futai. Of course, Wu Sheng and Yu Sanshi took them with them.

Yu Wan took them in to help collect food.

She was on the back of the little snake and looked down. The ground was still like a vast ocean, and the flood had not receded much.

Yu Wan frowned. At this rate, the flood water receded, and he didn’t know how much time had passed. It was too late to evacuate the flood water.

After flying for an hour, the little snake stopped in a mountain range. When they came down, they saw that there were shacks set up everywhere on the mountain, and many victims were making fires to cook.

The victims here are much worse than those in the mountains. Not only are they skinny and yellow-skinned, but their clothes are ragged, and they have nothing to eat.

Yu Wan stepped forward and took a look. There was very little rice and not much water in the pot, and it was jumping in the pot.

Bai Ziyi pulled her, and she followed him to Mu Jiuchen's tent.

 It is said to be a tent, but it is also a simple shed made of linoleum.

"Master Bai, Miss Yu, please sit down." Mu Jiuchen politely asked them to sit down.

Bai Ziyi asked: "The troops here haven't been transferred yet?"

Mu Jiuchen's evil face was also wrinkled at this moment. He shook his head: "Most of the people living here are sailors. They are busy dredging the river and salvaging the corpses in the river, and they can't get anyone out. The people who come to the court, You can’t get in without a big boat.”

The more than 100 Mu soldiers he led were all land soldiers and could only help with some things on the shore.

Yu Wan listened to what they said about how to make the water recede. She got up and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the endless and dirty flood, she walked down the mountain, touched the flood with her hands, and thought to herself, "Suck."

 Suddenly, the flood rushed toward her, and the river in the space began to surge.

 When there was enough water in the space, she summoned the little snake and sat on it.

 “Master, where are you going?”

“Let’s see where the water comes from. We can open a road to divert the water from the mountains,” Yu Wan said directly.

Just waiting like this is not a problem. No one can make the flood recede in a short time. It is now the time for wheat planting in the Northeast, so if we divert the water there, we should be able to catch up.

 She also released Xiao Jin, and then the two snakes flew toward the northeast.

 Xiao Jin scouts the terrain much faster than her.

“Master, look, you can quickly reach the east by passing through this mountain range,” Xiao Jin said to her.

Yu Wan looked at it and saw that it was exactly what Xiao Jin said. She and Little Snake Xiaojin checked the terrain all morning and found that it was suitable here. It would not damage the cultivated land or damage the village, completely avoiding these.

 “Then let’s start from here, you two be careful,” Yu Wan said.

After the two heard her, they placed her on the mountain range. They chose a location and started from the lower level of the river and drilled into the mountain range.

 She estimated that it would take at least a day for two drills to penetrate the mountain range. She then entered the space and gathered the rice on the red earth.

 One day later, Yu Wan came out of the space, and sure enough, two people were waiting for her where she entered the space.

 “What’s wrong? What happened in the front?”

"Master, should we go straight through or go around? If we go around, we have to go around for a long time," Xiao Jin said.

Yu Wan: "Go around it, as long as it doesn't have any impact."

 At their speed, they can catch up with wheat seeds even if they go around.

 The two nodded and took Yu Wan to the place where they stopped.

 The fields and villages will be flooded if we go out here, so we must take a detour.

 So the two of them bypassed this place from another place according to her wishes, and then continued forward.
