Chapter 81

Cao Herui also didn't know what to do. Don't look at the three of them who have been here for so many years, but they have never encountered such a strong wind. What they encountered today seems to be different from before. He was thinking about where to go. He heard the question from the person in charge, and thought for a while and said:

"It's not possible to find a higher mountain. This place will be submerged in less than half an hour. You must prepare your food, otherwise you will starve to death if you don't wait to be drowned."

After saying this, Cao Herui still had no sense of stability in his heart. He also knew that the higher he stood, the more likely he would be to be struck by lightning in such weather conditions. But he really had no other way. He didn't walk towards the high place, just waited here and would drown.

There is another option he doesn't want, that is, after tying out the wooden raft, do not go to a high place, just stay in the water, preferably downstream, but this method is very worrying. One is that the wind can make the waves grow larger, and the wooden raft will be overturned at that time, and the other is that it is difficult to control the speed.

If you rush down the stream directly, you will enter the sea. The sea will not be so calm now. If you want to control the speed, you have to walk close to the shore, which means entering the Qin River. The problem is that the water in that place must be very turbulent now, and it may be over when you enter.

Not only him, Fan Jianxi also thought so. He was afraid that these woods would hit other things and spread out after they were discharged into the water. After all, when the boatmen came out, they just brought some ropes casually. Now the ropes were gone and there was no time to rivet, so they could only use some branches as ropes.

You can know what happens after you hit something else without thinking about it.

Now he can only expect these branches to be strong enough, and at the same time he hopes that the wind will pass quickly and the rain will stop quickly. Seeing that the person in charge has finished asking, he added: "We trees are soaked in the water for a long time and will not be able to hold people. It will be easy to find a higher mountain, so you don't have to worry about thunder.

We don’t stand on the top of the mountain, and now we can’t see where there are mountains. Do you have an impression when you come? Do you know which mountain is the highest around this place? Also, see if the time is enough, continue to raft more wood and then put the two wood rafts together so that you can expose more water."

This idea is good. Many people will add several layers of wood when this happens. Since one layer of wood is easy to enter the water, it will be safe to have a few more layers. However, time is no longer waiting for anyone at this time. Another strong wind blows over, and with the waves, the water comes directly to everyone's feet.

Waiting for the wave to pass, the water also retreated, but everyone knew that this situation could not last long. This small hill was too short. What was most worrying was that this valley was where water from other places gathered.

The biggest wind had left here and went up the river, but the wind behind was not small, and some of the trees were uprooted, which made Fan Jianxi and the other two more worried.

"Quick, hurry up, whatever you can tie, don't worry about other things. Put the things we took off from the boat on the wooden raft. At that time, you have to find something to make a paddle, otherwise you will rush down the water and rush into the river. That place is not as easy as it is now. Maybe if it hits the shore, the wooden raft will easily break."

Fan Jianxi began to talk anxiously there, and the others knew about this situation. Fortunately, although they did not know how powerful the typhoon was, it was very easy to make some wooden rafts. They tied them with branches one by one, and soon, nine two-layer wooden rafts were ready.

There were still some remaining woods that had no time to tread, so they could only choose to give up. Although Fan Jianxi and the other two knew the strong wind here, they did not understand the making and slashing of the raft. When they saw that there was still wood, they immediately ordered people to tie the woods to the raft at will, waiting for the time being to replace them, or to survive with a piece of wood.

Fifty-eight people, nine double-layer wooden rafts, Fan Jianxi and the three of them could have fewer people on the wooden raft, only four people, one person was responsible for the rafts, and the three of them were enjoying it. For the other eight, two of them placed seven people and six people placed six people, and even all of them were ready.

Fan Jianxi and the other two also asked someone to make some more food that could be eaten directly onto the wooden rafts on his side, and the wood was tied to the wooden rafts. When Fan Jianxi asked him to tie them, the person in charge opposed it twice. He didn't want to do this. Just as he was about to explain more, the waves there came one after another. In desperation, he had to tie them first and then leave here immediately.

After a few more waves came, the water level finally lifted up these wooden rafts and floated down the stream. This place could not be easily changed, otherwise it would be hit by waves.

After Zeng Jie rushed for a distance, the person in charge's wooden raft finally came to the next side of Fan Jianxi and the person in charge said to Fan Jianxi and the other two: "Three sirs, have you throw away the tied wood? Otherwise, with these tails, the wooden raft will not change direction, especially if these tied woods are hung on something, the boat will be unable to leave."

Fan Jianxi didn't know about this kind of thing. He had never made wooden rafts by himself, and he didn't understand the mystery. When he heard the person in charge, he was about to agree, but he felt that doing so would weaken the momentum of the official, so he had to pretend to be very sensible and said:

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is very common in our local area. Look at what kind of water can be hung? And what can I do if I hang it? At worst, I can break the branches of the hanging wood. Just like that. I am willing to throw it away. I will throw it away the wood tied behind your own raft. We must not throw it away. You have just arrived here and don't know so many things."

The person in charge was scolded and said something more. He agreed and stopped talking. He thought about whether he would hit the reef after going downstream. He still couldn't change the direction and could only adjust it slightly. Otherwise, he would use the very rough oars to continuously work hard in one direction. If the strength was used, the waves would be eliminated directly.

Thinking of this, the person in charge arranged for someone to loosen the wood tied to the back and pull it to the front. When the water flows hard, they will first release the wood. If there is really any reef or undercurrent in front, the wood will be prepared in advance.

Seeing that the person in charge had done this, Fan Jianxi and the other two thought about it and decided to wait a while. If they did it now, wouldn’t they learn it? Wait for a while to see the water flow, and then they would say that this wood is for this purpose. Everyone at the beach knows that this will have an excuse and can better show their ability.

With this idea, the wooden raft of the three people was a little skewed by a wave. Even if the only boater on the wooden raft had tried his best to stabilize the wooden raft, it would not have much effect.

This scared the three people, especially Jiang Huanshi, who was the least timid, said quickly when the wooden raft was shaking, "Hurry, get the wood behind it to the front. It's already shaking so much, it's time."

The water flow at this position is very unstable, and the wooden rafts are shaking back and forth, without any rules at all. It is entirely due to the boater using the oar to offset the power of the fluctuation. At this time, when he heard Jiang Huanshi's order, the man said helplessly:

"Three sirs, you can only do this for three of you. I have been mastering the wooden rafts here, otherwise the wooden rafts would be easily overturned."

"What? You asked us to make wood after such a shaking raft? We are not people who stay on the water all day long. We can't stand it when we sway. You'd better go and do it, we'll watch the paddle for you."

Jiang Huanshi can't row, but he just saw this person rowing there and found it not difficult. For example, if the wave head comes from the left, then use the slurry to row backwards hard on the right. In this way, with that force, press the wooden raft one by one, and can also push the wave head to the left so that the wave head can hit the oar, and push the oar and push the body, and use force to eliminate this force.

This seemed easy, so Jiang Huanshi came to the man as he spoke, reached out to pick up the oars. The man had no other choice. He was really disgusted with the wood tied behind him, because when the waves came, every time the wood rose and fell, he had to use more effort to remove the power.

He handed the oars to Jiang Huanshi, and he immediately ran back. He was not going to get the wood in front. As long as he opened the tied area, he would hold it with the oars for a few times, and the wood would naturally rush to the front.

He understood, but he overestimated Jiang Huanshi's ability. Jiang Huanshi took the oar in his hand. When he saw a wave coming, he directly imitated others' appearance and used the oar to block the wave. It was simple when he saw it, but in that process, he had to be very familiar with the power coming from the oar.

Jiang Huanshi didn't know that when a paddle passed, the wooden raft was not stable, and he was knocked down by the power of the wave. As soon as the wave rushed, his body tilted to the other side. Now, the entire wooden raft was turned over by two forces.

"Help, I don't know how to water, save me quickly." Jiang Huanshi had no time to regret it at this time. She shouted hard there, and after shouting twice, the figure disappeared.

Cao Herui and Fan Jianxi were better than Jiang Huanshi for one day. The two of them could swim in the calm water. At this time, they fell into the water and were beaten by the waves. After drinking two sips of water, they immediately woke up and tried hard to swim towards the turning raft. As long as they touched the raft.

Jiang Huanshi's figure sank in the water for a while and floated up. This is not the reason why he would move back and forth in the water, but the waves are like this. When the person who just passed by to make wood saw someone falling down, he saw that he was rushing far away, he could only grit his teeth and swim over.

This person has really good abilities. He used to work on the Yellow River. He had a very good water quality and could also touch carp with bare hands in the Yellow River. It was because of this ability that he dared to swim over. When the other people on the wooden raft saw the wooden rafts flipped, they jumped down to save the other two people.

Jiang Huanshi didn't know how many saliva he had drunk, so he felt that his eyes were getting darker and darker. When he saw that he didn't know anything, he suddenly felt his body tightening and then he could feel the light outside.

Although he could feel it, he was still very uncomfortable and couldn't breathe. He let out a breath and wanted to suck back and found that something was blocking the area of ​​his throat. His hands and feet kept moving hard, and his face became redder and redder. Just when he was about to faint again, he was finally thrown onto the wooden raft.

As soon as his body bumped and hissed, he felt that he was so happy that he finally absorbed a little bit of air. The boater also came to the wooden raft and picked up Jiang Huanshi again and asked him to squat down. Not to mention, this squat was indeed useful.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, that wood is fine." Jiang Huanshi walked back and forth in front of the Ghost Gate, constantly thanking the person who saved him, and at the same time he never dared to touch the oar again. Now he knew it was amazing.

This man didn't say much. When he was swimming back just now, he brought someone to the point where he was hit by the wood he had just untied. He still didn't feel anything about the whole leg yet. Thanks to his good water quality, he turned around with the force when he was hit, otherwise he wouldn't plan to take this leg.

After taking the paddles thrown from other wooden rafts, the group continued to row forward, without any destination, just hoping to reach a place where the water flow was not so turbulent, and then change one direction and go somewhere else.

People on their side have begun to become more careful, especially Jiang Huanshi. He has not fully recovered yet and feels that his head is very painful. It is choking, his ears are buzzing, and his eyes are sour and astringent.

Because he met someone with good water nature, Jiang Huanshi and the other two had taken a big advantage, otherwise they would have died just now based on their own abilities.

They were temporarily safe, but this was not the case elsewhere. The typhoon went up along the Qin River and began to expand the range, and the speed was very fast. All the trees they encountered were blown down, some were even uprooted, flew into the air and turned and then threw them out.

People here, those who have cellars hide in the cellars. Although there is still water to pour down, it is enough to avoid the strong wind before the water surface. Those who don’t have cellars will see if they can run away. As long as they don’t come directly, they can run further away.

Those who saw the wind blowing directly can only leave fate. If there are thick trees, they come and tie themselves up with ropes. This is all their experience left behind. As for the house, don't stay in it, otherwise few people will survive.

In this form, the wind swept over very quickly, and at the same time, there are basically no houses that are completed in the passing places, even if they only blow to a side.

In just one hour, the typhoon arrived at the prefecture of Qinzhou. Some local people who also know how to look at the sky had already avoided it. They even told their neighbors that those who believed would hide with them, while those who didn't believe would continue to stay at home.

There are even more stupid people who clearly believe that a strong wind will come, but they are still there slowly packing up their homes and preparing to take away all the things they can take away. In this way, the time will be delayed. When the typhoon comes, people like them will either be blown away by the strong wind or be pressed down by some wind and rain and houses.

There were more casualties and injuries. Some people who were taken away by the wind had nothing to do. The ground was wet by the rain and it was very soft. As long as it was not hit by something or people in the air met other things, it was really not dangerous to fall from a few meters high.

In the government office, Governor Ning didn't know that there was a typhoon coming. Although some people in the family judged that a strong wind would blow here, he didn't know the specific time. After all, it was a little far away from the sea. It was very difficult to see the sky, and there were many obstacles when judging.

It is better to be in Luzhou. When the same person sees the sky change, he can tell how the wind should come. But Qinzhou knows that the sky has changed, but it is useless at all, because even if the wind comes here, it only blows in Luzhou and Lianzhou, the sky will change like this.

It was too late to wait for the governor Ning to find out that there was a strong wind coming. He was not like Zhang Zhong, and he had a little movement. When his judgment was not very accurate, he dared to take the people from the entire state to the mountain. He couldn't do it here. Even if he asked someone to do this, many people would not listen to him.

"It's over, it's over. I don't know what else is going on? Where did the wind come from?" Governor Ning felt the strong wind raging with some soil and trees, standing in the house of the government office and saying to himself.

His place is relatively stable. After all, this is the place where their family is located, so the yamen naturally needs to be well repaired. Faced with such a strong wind, it may be able to hold on, and even if it cannot hold on, there is a cellar at home.

What he was really worried about was the loss this time. It just recovered a little, but it came again. This one seemed even more powerful than the last time. The family's transactions were not easy to do. What else did no one do? The people felt that they could not stay in this place, so they ran away. Who else would sell it to?

Looking at the sky outside, Governor Ning was also full of sorrow. At this time, the housekeeper came in and ran very quickly. His clothes were soaked. As soon as he came in, he shouted to Governor Ning: "Master, run quickly and go to the cellar to hide. The wind is coming. It's coming from there, and it's coming."

Governor Ning was shocked and did not dare to hesitate anymore. He immediately followed the housekeeper to the outside. The others in the house thought they had already been hiding. The two of them arrived in the yard, and there was a cellar here. When they lifted the lid, the governor Ning jumped down first, and the manager jumped down. But before they could cover the lid, a gust of wind swept over, and the lid was taken away directly, and then a lot of things were smashed down from the sky in a mess.

The manager was hit by the head, but fortunately it was a mat and he didn't knock it out. He just made a small mouth on his head. Now he no longer wanted to cover it, and his body flashed and avoided the place at the entrance of the cellar.

"Master, this is really too strong. Now it's over. The emperor may make something to apologize for himself. We can't think about it."

The butler touched the place where he had just been blown, and felt something sticky on his hands. He knew it was broken, but he couldn't see anything in the black hole in the cellar, so he could only hold it hard and wait until the strong wind came over.

Governor Ning was also worried about this matter. He had just thought about whether his position could be kept this time. He was hit by a disaster. Although he knew that he had nothing to do with him, the court had to find someone to come out. As his parents' official, something happened to this land, someone would say that he had not managed it well, which made the sky angry.

The more I thought about this, the more worried the governor Ning was. He felt that his stomach began to feel uncomfortable. He opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of sour water. He asked the manager: "Do you know where this wind came from? Is there anything in Luzhou? Did they suffer such a big disaster?"

Asked several questions in a row, it actually shows the mood of governor Ning. Now he hopes that others will be like him. If everyone is suffering from disaster, then his responsibility will be much smaller. Especially in Luzhou, he hopes that the wind will come after a round trip in Luzhou, and then he will have an excuse.

That is, Zhang Zhongwude, the governor of Luzhou. Since he arrived here, the sky was furious and caused disasters here twice in a row. This is nothing wrong. After all, what happened after Zhang Zhong came. If you don’t come, you may have nothing to do this year. Last year and the previous year, it was just a little heavier.

Governor Ning, who was determined to give the responsibility to Zhang Zhong, was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment. He asked the butler to say that, but the butler knew about this. He had just run back from outside.

Fortunately, I was here. Seeing his expression, the housekeeper showed dissatisfaction at this time. He knew that if he said he didn't know, the master would never be happy. He hesitated and said:

"Master, the young man is not too clear, but I think that the wind must have been circulated from Luzhou before coming here. Master, it's not that our place is affected by the disaster."
Chapter completed!
