Lao Chen thinks Ikehashi is a stupid young man.

The good things are not positive, but the bad things are carried upwards.

Ikehashi Matsu guessed that Lao Chen thought he was a fool, but there was no need for him to care about what Lao Chen thought, he could just do what he thought was right.

Come to this world.

Is it just for the sake of growing up and becoming a master, a great master? He also has his own ideals and ambitions, but he just doesn't talk about them.

The Water Conservancy Bureau compound is already overcrowded.

There were umbrellas and ponchos everywhere, and some people were even wearing only a bamboo hat, and their bodies were all wet from the rain.

Even though Ikehashi was wearing a poncho, there were still raindrops and water vapor that kept getting on his body, successfully moistening the shirt underneath and sticking it to his skin.

"Where's Director Tao? I'm Ikehashimatsu from the dredging office."

He squeezed through the crowd and squeezed into a two-story office building near the river. Chen Ziru, along with the river chief and lake chief, waited outside the building.

"The director is in the conference room."

"Take me there."

When I entered the conference room, I found that the first and second leaders of several units were already gathering in the conference room to smoke.

Amidst the smoke, Tao Mingliang himself was not seen. It was the deputy director who received Chi Qiaosong: "Director Tao is on the phone. Director Chi will wait for a moment."

"This side of Xiaochi." Someone called him.

Chi Qiaosong turned around and saw that it was Ma Xingwen, the mayor of Chengguan Town.

He had dealt with Ma Xingwen before when he was building the New Right Association. Later, when Chijiashan was handling land deeds, he also had a drink with Ma Xingwen accompanied by his master Hao Bozhao.

"Mayor Ma, when did you come here?"

"Lao Tao called me early in the morning and asked me to come over quickly. I've been waiting for half an hour and he's still on the phone." Ma Xingwen took out a cigarette and "smoked one."

"Thank you, I don't smoke."

"You don't have to smoke, but you must have two drinks at noon."

"As long as I have time, that's fine."

"I guess we don't have time. The flood is coming. The four ghosts of Peng Li will continue to cause harm to Mokan County even after they die." Ma Xingwen cursed loudly.

Everyone believes that the abnormal weather in Mokan County this year is the backlash of luck caused by the killing of Mokan Jiao.

Tao Mingliang rushed back after a while and directly presided over the meeting: "Without further ado, the peak of the Yangtze River is coming, and the heavy rains are coming again. Once the water level of Pengli Lake exceeds 20 meters, we will be unable to recover, so we must do it as soon as possible.

Take action."

He is a warrior in the warrior realm and has grown up.

Next, experts from the Water Conservancy Bureau will preside over the flood prevention plan.

Each unit serves as a group to reinforce the embankments, inspect the water levels, evacuate the people, and dig canals to release the floods.

The dredging office was also assigned a task: "Director Chi, the river chiefs and lake chiefs of your dredging office should go to their respective river channels and lake areas to cooperate with the embankment personnel in digging ditches to release floods."

"no problem."

Ikehashi took over the task and left it to Chen Ziru.

However, he did not leave the front line, but went to the more dangerous Big Fish Mouth, which belongs to the bay where Dayugou merges into Pengli Lake, and the surrounding geographical location is relatively low-lying.

Dayuzui Town, where senior brother Li Shou lives, is named after this river bend.

When Ikehashi Matsudai followed the chief of the Dayuzui River and arrived near Dayuzui, he saw that many people had been organized onto the river embankment and piled bags of sand and soil onto the river embankment.

It didn't take long.

Then I met my senior brother Li Shou.

"Lao Liu, why are you here?" Li Shou was surprised.

"The dredging office must also cooperate with flood control. I will follow the river chief to inspect the area and see how the conditions of several dangerous embankments are."

"Be careful when checking. Don't fall into the river. The river is very deep now and the current is fast. Even us warriors can easily drown if we are not careful."

"clear."

"I won't entertain you anymore. If you don't have time tonight, I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook you two dishes."

"No need, senior brother, I'll leave right away and look around, otherwise I won't worry."

"There is nothing to worry about. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. You just have to pretend. Floods can be solved by just one more warrior like you or me."

As the deputy mayor, Li Shou was very busy, so he hurriedly met and walked away.

Ikehashimatsu inspected the big fish mouth once, then changed places to continue his inspection.

For two days in a row, heavy rains continued, and the water level in Pengli Lake rose to more than 19 meters. Some of the river banks had already breached, and they were blocked using the tactic of sea of ​​​​people.

The deputy director, Lao Chen, was so busy that he made arrangements and liaised with all the river and lake chiefs.

According to Li Weiwei, Lao Chen didn't know how many times he complained in private, thinking that he shouldn't make trouble for the dredging work. But in front of Ikehashi Song, he didn't complain at all.

Ikehashi Matsu laughed it off.

That afternoon, while he was patrolling a river, he saw Li Weiwei running over: "Director, over there in Zhangzigou, someone said they saw a leopard turtle."

"Scaly-headed turtle?"

"Well, it's a big old turtle. They dug out the mangy turtle when they were digging the soil, but no one could stop it and let it run away."

"Let's go and have a look."

Ikehashi Matsu, who had not had any spiritual beasts for a long time, suddenly became interested.

Zhangzigou is a river formed in recent years. There are too many green Longling hills for thousands of miles. Flash floods hit from time to time, and each time they can break out of a different river channel and merge into Pengli Lake.

In a few years, the mountain torrents will change their course, and Zhangzigou will be replaced by other rivers.

When they arrived at Zhangzigou, several warriors had already rushed over, walking back and forth along both sides of the river, trying to find the leprechaun - the spiritual beast was easily worth tens of thousands, and the warriors would inevitably be tempted.

"Director." The river chief from Zhangzigou came over to say hello.

"Where did the mangy turtle go?"

"It ran away into the river. Someone went into the water to look for it, but couldn't find it."

The so-called mangy-headed turtle is a spiritual beast among old turtles, and its value is higher than ordinary spiritual beasts, because the mangy-headed turtle is a precious medicinal material.

The "Pharmacopoeia" records a kind of elixir, the Bactrian Turtle Essence. Part of the main ingredient is the leopard turtle. The head, armor, bones, meat, eggs, gallbladder, and fat can all be used as medicine.

I caught a mangy turtle and easily sold it for 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

From afternoon to evening, it was already dark, but the mandarin turtle was still not found, and the warriors dispersed one after another.

Ikehashi Matsu was also about to leave, feeling a little pity, but he didn't take it to heart - now he found that it was more cost-effective to wait for Xiao Qing to shed his skin than to hunt the spiritual beast.

suddenly.

Chief He ran over: "Director, Director, there's something going on!"

"What?"

"The mangy turtle was discovered. It was discovered by the workers of our dredging team. No one disclosed it. I will report it to the director as soon as possible."

The dredging office organizes hard labor to clean river beds and lake bottoms every year. The work is not tiring, and wages are paid, which can subsidize the family during the slack period, so many people come here specifically to dredge.

River chiefs and lake chiefs all have their own dredging teams.

"Really? If it's true, Liu Ya, please take credit." Ikehashimatsu said happily.

Liu Ya, the director of the Zhangzigou River, suddenly beamed with joy. The fatigue of a tiring day was swept away, and he strode forward to lead the way. He led Chi Qiaosong to the turning point of the river ditch.

When several workers saw Liu Ya coming, they immediately used flashlights to shine toward the ditch.

Following the flashlight, Ikehashi clearly saw an old turtle, bigger than a water tank, sticking out its upper body and lying quietly in the grass beside the ditch.
