Chapter 24: What to do with the great catastrophe

Chapter 24: What can you do if you are in trouble?

Zhang Zhong was shocked. Didn’t his daughter-in-law just speak a few dialects? This person’s reaction was too big, right?

"Juanjuan, what did you say to him?" Zhang Zhong wondered what his daughter-in-law said to scare him like this?

"I didn't say anything, but I said that there was a flood. Let the people in the mountains come down and hide first. Even if the water is washed here, there can be a boat to a high place. If the mountain collapses, it will be over." Wang Juan explained.

"How did you know you're going to have a water sprinkle?" Zhang Zhong felt nervous. He didn't believe what others said. Even if the son and his daughter-in-law said, they had to believe it even if they couldn't figure it out. Not to mention that it was a water sprinkle, even if the daughter-in-law said that the moon would fall down the sky, he had to organize people to transfer it.

Wang Juan saw Zhang Zhong's concern and said a little embarrassedly: "Dad, it's not what I said, it's what Grandpa Zhang said. Grandpa Zhang is Zhang Jiuling's housekeeper. He is very good at kung fu. He forced Xiaobao to use the method he shouldn't have used, so he made him retreat. He used to be a guard and could raise pigeons. Xiaobao is still feeling uncomfortable now."

"Ah? Xiaobao is injured? Why didn't he see it? He didn't say it?" Zhang Zhong forgot about other things at once and only thought about his son.

"What's there to say? It's sour and painful. Just hold it up. I'll just press it for him before going to bed at night." Wangjuan knew the pain, but she knew who Zhang Xiaobao was, so she didn't care about the pain at all.

"You must worry about Juanjuan that night. Do you know when it will be a water supply?" Zhang Zhong didn't know what his daughter-in-law said that he shouldn't use the method. He thought it was a monster or a god. Otherwise, how could the two of them force a former guard back?

He knew that his son could bear the pain. It was because the two of them had their own way to solve it. The thing he was most worried about was floods. He had heard of Zhang Jiuling, but he didn't expect that with his family here, the state finally improved a little, and if he was washed away by the water, he would have nothing.

Especially the grain grown here, it is about to be harvested. Then you can continue to plant it. Two or three ripening a year. Depending on what you want to plant, your home prepares a white crumb and the rice you brought will be washed away by water, and there will be a gap in the grain this season.

Wang Juan was also a little upset about the flood, which would delay a lot of progress, but she was not afraid. She still had a few days to prepare. The lost property was a trivial matter, so it would be fine if there was no problem with the person.

"Dad, there are about five days left. Grandpa Zhang himself calculated it. It was introduced by some elderly people here. Some say it was seven days later, and some say it was five days later. Many elderly people say it was like this. I have to believe it. At least it is five days, at most it is seven days."

Wang Juan summarized what the old man said when he left and said to Zhang Zhong.

"Dad, the matter has been arranged, but when the child came here just now, I heard that the river where our family was about to flow into the water has risen a lot. Let's arrange disaster relief matters quickly. Now I have really lost money. I have bought some money and I bought a store. I can't let the people who have destroyed the house bear it."

Zhang Xiaobao came back at this time and was in a bad mood. He had to do it, but he couldn't count the natural disaster.

The tree was next to it and heard what the three people said. When it heard it was a flood, it immediately became anxious. The clan was washed away almost every year, and it was useless no matter how the place was changed. When the flood came, it would not rush according to the original place.

Zhang Zhong was also worried. Seeing the tree looking at it, he said to the tree: "Don't worry, brother, that tree. Send people back immediately. Nothing is on your back, but only food and water. It should not take six days to go back and ask the people on the mountain to cut down the trees and make a raft. When the water is big, it will rush down and someone here will pick you up."

The tree had no other choice but to give a few instructions to the person who was fast-legged among the six people. The two turned around and prepared to run out, but were stopped by Zhang Xiaobao. The stopping action was very simple. They were 1.2 meters tall, jumped on the spot, flew into the air one meter two meters, and flew out two consecutive feet, and the two had to retreat.

"What's the hurry? Take your things and leave." Wang Juan rushed to the door, and Zhang Xiaobao raised a half-body position. Wang Juan stood sideways and said to the two anxious people.

Only then did the two of them realize that they had offended someone and kowtowed.

"Get up, be ready immediately. Remember to go back quickly. Even if you die, you have to pass the news to the place." Wang Juan said to the two people again, and ran out with Zhang Xiaobao to arrange food and water. It's simple, just find a guard, they have something to keep.

Four people with slow legs and an injured tree were left in the house, waiting anxiously for news over there, for at least ten days.

Zhang Zhong had no time to chat. After saying a few words, he left in a hurry. The notice was written in a blink of an eye, and asked someone to hold an umbrella in the prefecture and read it loudly to the people.

The content was to make the people ready to leave at any time. All the eighteen small boats were put down. The guards of the royal palace and the strong people in the inner courtyard went out to cut down trees, so that the people could also cut down. The construction of the wharf stopped, and the personnel evacuated, and they all made rafts.

The things at home should be moved to welcome the arrival of the flood. Now the integrity of the prefecture is different from before. The people have no doubts, and some families can respond actively to the weather.

In the midst of the busy life, Fan Jianxi and the other two were laughing secretly, hoping that the water would be bigger and stronger, and that all the houses would be washed away, and even the houses behind the state capital that had not been built were destroyed.

Zhang Xiaobao held his chin with both hands, looked at the heavy rain outside without any sign of stopping, blinked his eyes and said, "The sky is about to fall..."

"Okay, don't memorize such things. It's not easy for you to learn something. Keep it. Ah, think of a way to reduce the loss." Wang Juan wrapped his arms around, listened to Zhang Xiaobao muttering there, and touched him.

Zhang Xiaobao stopped, looked at Wang Juan and asked, "Do you want fame or wealth? I'm just a little confused now."

"What's fame and wealth? It's about to have a flood, and it's a long way to go. Fame and wealth are too far away. Think about how to save the lives of the people in the whole province."

In order to worry about the coming floods and worries, some experienced people are more accurate than the weather forecast. After seeing the weather, they said that it would be a big flood one day, which is basically the same.

Zhang Xiaobao pinched his thighs with his hands and said, "Listen to you, be dead, be prepared to take other people's lives and let them come and develop. This trick is a bit unethical, but we have to make up for the flood losses here, and it is a good thing to save people.

Unfortunately, fewer ships came. If I had known this would happen, the ship transporting the chef and the guys would not have let them go back so early. Stay for a few more days. Now start collecting ropes, hurry up."

Wang Juan was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "Comrade Xiaobao, you didn't want to make plans during the flood, right? Are you just watching those individuals being flooded by the flood? Watching the little kid crying alone? How can you do this? Make money from the national crisis? How did your dean grandfather get you up?"

Wang Juan was really angry. Zhang Xiaobao usually agreed after making plans. It was time. After hearing what Zhang Xiaobao said just now, he wanted to make up for the losses, which was both wealth and name-oriented.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "I've misunderstood, misunderstanding, how could I forget that scene? I thought, after saving people, should they care about their money or treat them well and gain a good reputation? As soon as you said it, I decided that we want people, Luzhou has too few people."

"What does it mean? I don't understand." Wang Juan was still angry.

"It's not interesting. It's just that the rain is not frequent. When I arranged it according to my father's words, I came back and heard someone say that I picked up a few big fish in the county and fell very hard. How could the fish be dropped? Do you think it's too lonely in the water and flew into the sky?"

Zhang Xiaobao squeezed his eyes and said.

Wang Juan paused for a moment and tried to ask, "Is it a typhoon? Is this season wrong?"

"The typhoon is coming. What season is right? Let's go out and arrange it, let's save more people. Actually, I hope everyone is safe, but this is just a wish, let's do our best."

As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he pulled Wang Juan and rushed out without holding an umbrella.

A quarter of an hour later, the new notice from the prefecture came out, and people were also shouting from various places, asking the people to push their houses and pack everything, especially those with beams, and unload the wood and make it into wooden rafts with solid ropes.

I don’t want other things in the house. If I can install them, I can also install them on wooden rafts and make people prepare many ropes.

Kuaima could only spread the news in Wulei County and Yushan County. The two counties farther away were powerless. Although they had sent people to make preparations there, they had no time to demolish the house.

Everything is ready, martial law is strictly prohibited in the whole province, and the two counties far away may not be able to do it. There is still no problem with the two counties here. At the same time, the loan matters are also announced. All loans are exempted, and all goods paid in advance are given for free, and nothing can be left in the end.

The Zhang family took this loss with all their strength, and the people also understood that the matter was a bit serious. The new and good official gave up so much money directly, which was definitely not a fool for everyone.

The people in the two counties began to demolish the houses as stated in the notice, tied up the wooden rafts one by one, and brought the things in the home with them, waiting for the good officials to make the next arrangements.

At this time, there were still some people rushing to the road. On the way, they met someone riding a fast horse and saying the notice. The horse could not run when it reached a dangerous place. The horse could only give up the horse and hike to the two counties.

"Do you want to survive? The person you think about follows me and runs quickly and goes to the prefecture to help organize. If you do it, maybe governor Zhang can spare you once."
