Chapter 642 The embankment

The crowd of people rioting in the dike stopped in an instant as if they had a rest sign.
The two neighbors over there who were fighting for floating boards froze for a while, suddenly restrained their fierce expressions. It was you, me, good neighbors, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good
The woman who pushed her daughter aside and tied the float to her son's body quickly picked up her daughter and cried loudly.
Gu Xiang: "..."
Should I scold you?
Still want to scold.
OK, it’s not that you don’t love your daughter, but you just love your son more. This sounds so annoying that your head hurts, your heart hurts, and your teeth hurts.
But forget it, I will scold you later. Now I am happy to escape from death, but things are far from over.
A stone fell and hit the gap. The surging water slowed down a little further. Many villagers on the shore sat on the ground, panting.
There are also a few unlucky guys who have been living by the water all year round, and have skillfully flowing into the river with water, searching for those unlucky guys who accidentally fall into the water.
Gu Xiang and Xueying stepped forward together. Xueying dragged out a silver net bag from her sleeve and threw it to Gu Xiang. She flew up by herself and swept across the river.
Both of them had good eyes and cooperated tacitly. Of course, the main reason was that Xueying was particularly good at cooperating with Gu Xiang. After a few steps, the two of them brought a few young people who fell into the water to the shore.
At this time, they had been in the water for a short time. They were all watery in less than a moment, and they were all good at water. When they got on the shore, they twisted their wet clothes, and they became lively and carefully thanked Gu Xiang.
There are also a few who are not physically strong, and they are both squatting or standing, and are sober.
The villagers on the shore immediately breathed a sigh of relief, rushed over and shouted loudly, and everyone was very grateful to see that there were many young people from other families.
The so-called water and fire are ruthless, and you can make a living by this river, but in that year you won’t lose your life because of this river?
The wind was howling, the waves rolled up, rushed to the river bank with a rumbling rumble, and retreated back.
The villagers shivered in one go.
The gap in the river embankment is blocked by big stones, so the river water will not flood the village for the time being. However, the embankment has been broken, and the villagers who know how to do so know that if they don’t repair it quickly, they may not be able to hold on for too long.
Now the river water is still flowing out along the gaps on the river bank, and the low-lying farmland around the village is flooded with water.
The villagers who came to their senses looked at the crops that had suffered, and their faces were confused.
"Don't worry about the crops, leave quickly. I think our river bank will not be able to withstand it."
Someone who knows it, he looked at the river bank and then looked at the water level, and shook his head helplessly.
"If there is another heavy rain...ah!"
Everyone was breathing a sigh of relief. Some smart people hurried home and quickly packed up their belongings and left the village to take refuge.
But Li Chuanzi stood on the shore, dancing and catching the man beside him, not allowing the other party to leave: "No, no, no--"
"Li stammers, you can't speak, don't stutter now!"
"No...no, this, this river bank, no, no, cannot be broken, downstream, downstream, downstream, yes, yes..."
"This river bank must be kept no matter what, otherwise the flood will be decayed for hundreds of miles of fertile soil. I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will go hungry this year."
Gu Xiang said loudly.
Everyone: "..."
The villagers were a little wary. An old man with gray hair and fine wrinkles on his face looked over. His muscles were tight and his expression was solemn: "Who are you?"
Even though it was such a critical moment, Gu Xiang was not in a hurry at all. He pointed to the jar of "Gu Ji" chili sauce at his hand, and said slowly: "Go down and buy it, just take the jar. Buying bulk will save a lot of money. I am from Guzhuang. Today I happened to pass by your Changjin Village, so I took a break. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
The expressions of the old man and other villagers suddenly calmed down a lot.
The young young people who were rescued by Gu Xiang and the others hurriedly came forward to explain and thank you.
When they knew that Gu Xiang and Xueying had the ability to block the river and save people, everyone looked even more gentle for a moment. Looking at Gu Xiang and Xueying again, they all showed a little amazement in their eyes.
Guzhuang is not the same as before. In the nearest village, who doesn’t envy Guzhuang now?
Moreover, Gu Zhuang’s reputation has been very good recently.
Gu Xiang did the most serious thing when he stayed at home was undoubtedly "education". She used meat that was rare in the village canteen, and also had points that the villagers could literate and read.
After building the farm, all employees must be required to be able to read and calculate.
Except for those elderly people over 60 years old, some of them are illiterate. Many of the others know 300 commonly used characters, and they can read them even if they are not good at writing.
Once this person is literate, his words and deeds are indeed very different from before.
The people of Guzhuang stand together with the villagers in the surrounding villages, which is quite a bit outstanding. In the past six months, not to mention anything else, young men and women in Guzhuang have become very popular in the marriage market. Whenever a man and a woman of the right age say that they are from Guzhuang, they will naturally be respectful.
The old patriarch and several patriarchs are now happy every day. The old patriarch's problem of being unable to control his waist and legs has been more than twenty years. In the past six months, he has changed his appearance and gradually improved. Now he can stand straight and his whole body is full of energy.
Now whenever the villagers in Guzhuang go out, no matter where they go, they must be attracted by others.
Xueying walked to Gu Xiang, held her arm, and slowly walked to the high stone beside her, raising her eyes to the distance.
Gu Xiang looked for a while, reached out to fold a branch, put down the stone and tucked his robe, and started to calculate on the spot. After a while, Xueying naturally took out a booklet sewn from her sleeve, and handed it over to Nailo Zi Dai.
Fortunately, Gu Xiang is familiar with the matter of water control and river embankment construction. She is also quite familiar with the terrain. She quickly formulated a plan to repair the embankment and said with a smile: "If our section of embankment is built according to my plan, it will not be very labor-intensive. If it is fast and has sufficient manpower, it will be basically completed in two or three hours."
Gu Xiang paused and said, "I can't guarantee that I can repair it perfectly. I will definitely need to repair it carefully in the future, but it's enough to respond to the emergency for the time being."
"Why would you like to invite the elders of your village to come over and let's discuss it?"
All the villagers in Changjin Village were stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment.
Gu Xiang was not in a hurry. He took the sketches drawn and talked concisely to the villagers present.
She did not deliberately say this matter very easily, but it was very detailed and well organized. When a few villagers present who knew some river craftsmen immediately felt open and nodded.
Chapter completed!
