Chapter 9 Dayu who controlled floods (Part 2)

Dayu's tribe quickly picked some wild fruits in the nearby woods, peeled off some bark, and delivered them to Dayu.

Dayu wiped the wild fruit on his clothes and handed it to Madoudou and Zhiguoguo, "Children, take it."

Madoudou took the wild fruit from Dayu and said thank you, then gave three of the four wild fruits to Zhiguoguo and kept one for himself. "Sister, try this," he said.

So sweet!”

Madoudou was afraid that the fruit would not be eaten, so he took a bite of the wild fruit in his hand. It was a bit bitter in the mouth, but in order not to be hungry, he ate the whole fruit. "Sister, look, brother has finished eating.

"

Zhiguoguo held the wild fruit in her hand. Seeing that Madoudou only ate one, she gave her three. She handed the extra fruit in her hand to Madoudou, "Brother, you can eat too, we have two each."

It’s only fair.”

Dayu looked at Madoudou and Zhiguoguo showing humility to each other in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his own children, with tears flashing in his eyes.

Madoudou stepped forward and wiped Dayu's tears, "Uncle Yu, are you homesick?"

Because before, when Mother Zhi was telling bedtime stories to Madoudou and Zhi Guoguo, she told the story of "Dayu Controlled the Floods".

At that time, Mother Zhi said that Dayu had not returned home for thirteen years in order to control floods. He had passed by his door three times, and he passed by the door because of the tight construction work.

Dayu held Madoudou in his arms and Zhiguoguo on his lap, "Well, looking at you, I think of my children. My people and I have been out fighting floods for many years. I don't know that my children are now

How do you look?"

Madoudou looked at Dayu's hands that were covered with calluses and his toenails were falling off. He felt distressed and cried. "Uncle Yu, you must miss them a lot. You see, you lost all your toenails just to control the water."

It fell off after being soaked in water, and your hands got calluses from being soaked in the water."

When Zhiguoguo saw Madoudou crying, she also started crying next to her.

Dayu was afraid that the next flood peak was coming again, so after everyone paused for a while, he took everyone on the bamboo raft and rushed to the next place to control the flood.

On the way, Madoudou asked Dayu curiously, "Uncle Yu, how do you usually control water?"

Dayu held Madoudou and Zhiguoguo in his arms, "I always dig mountains and canals, dredge and guide them, and lead floods into rivers and rivers, and finally into the sea."

Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were very engrossed in listening and admired Dayu very much.

Due to the following trip, Dayu could not bring Madoudou and Zhiguoguo with him, so he and his tribe sent Madoudou and Zhiguoguo to another highland.

"Little guy, there is a village near here. If you go there in a while, someone will take care of you." After saying that, Dayu took his tribe members on bamboo rafts and went to the next water control point.

Madoudou held Zhi Guoguo's hand, looked at Dayu's retreating back, and murmured, "Sister, he is a flood control hero!"

[The Sesame brothers and sisters have something to say]

Legend has it that during the reign of Yao, there were heavy rains in the Yellow River Basin for many years, and the floods overflowed, destroying houses, submerging fields, and drowning many people. Yao summoned the leaders of various tribes to discuss ways to control the floods. At that time, everyone recommended a man named Gun (gǔn).

), shoulder this important responsibility.

Gun (gǔn) controlled the floods for nine years. He died in Yushan due to the failure of the flood control. After that, Yao appointed Gun (gǔn)'s son Yu to continue the water control. Yu accepted the task of water control. He first led a group of tribesmen and traveled all over the country.

At that time, Kyushu conducted on-site inspections of flood-hit areas and formulated a flood control plan based on the information obtained.

Dayu divided China into nine states based on the geographical conditions of mountains and rivers, namely Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, and Jingzhou. His method of water control was to treat the mountains and rivers of the entire China as

To manage it as a whole, he first managed the land of Jiuzhou, dredging it when it needed to be dredged, and leveling it when it needed to be, so that a large amount of land became fertile land.

Then he managed the mountains. The mountains he managed included Qishan, Jingshan, Leishou Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Wanglao Mountain, Changshan Mountain, Dizhu Mountain, Jieshi Mountain, Taihua Mountain, Dabie Mountain, etc., in order to dredge waterways and make the

The water can flow down smoothly without blocking the waterway. After the mountain road was managed, he began to clarify the water veins. Most rivers north of the Yangtze River have left traces of his management.

Dayu led his people to fight against the floods caused by natural disasters, and finally won the victory. In order to control the floods, Dayu fought with his people outside for many years, regardless of personal interests, and "passed through the house three times without entering."
