Chapter 39 The Real Crisis

After a locust plague, Takouchi Village was removed from Xiangping Township.

No one can accept such a result.

But that's the truth.

At the call of the village chief, the villagers who returned to the village wiped away tears and began to pack their things.

The village chief took several village representatives and rushed towards the county seat.

He wants to report the disaster situation here to the county government and apply for subsidies.

Moreover, he also has to report to the county magistrate on how to deal with these locust eggs.

Regarding the locust plague, although the Chu State did not have any early response methods, they did have certain methods of dealing with it after the locust plague.

There are established procedures for how to burn or dry these insect eggs, and how to reuse the land here.

However, some things are just as shiny as donkey skin.

Post-disaster disposal actually consumes a lot of financial, manpower and material resources.

The damage to Taguchi Village was so serious that one county alone would not be enough to recover under such circumstances.

Therefore, in this case, there is a high probability that Taguchi Village will be abandoned by the county seat, and the villagers here will be coordinated and relocated to other villages. And even if this place is restored later, the original villagers will basically not move back.

After all, in this era of scarce population, land is enough.

If this place is destroyed, then it needs to be reclaimed in another place.

This is the most appropriate approach at the moment.

Not long after the village chief set off, every household had their things ready. When the village chief came back and told them the village where they would be resettled, they would set off for the new village.

But at this moment, someone in the village suddenly noticed that the sky outside suddenly became dark.

Not only that, the originally calm sky suddenly began to blow with strong winds.

The villagers who were still in the house, including Fang Yu, all came out of the house and glanced at the sky.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

The sky was clear before, but suddenly it was covered with dark clouds.

Coupled with gusts of wind.

Obviously, a heavy rain is brewing and will fall at any time.

As a result, everyone didn’t have to wait long.

It only takes an hour for the clouds to gather, the wind to rise, and then the rain to fall.

One drop fell to the ground, and raindrops as big as an egg began to fall from the sky.

The rain was pouring down and the wind was strong, so everyone had to hide in the house to take shelter from the rain.

Fang Yu and Fang Sanduo began to move the firewood next door to the room in a panic.

With such a heavy rain, if they don't move quickly, once the firewood gets wet, they won't be able to light a fire in the next few days.

Only one-third of the firewood came and was carried, and the remaining firewood was already wet.

After returning to the room, I still closed the doors and windows as before to prevent the locust plague.

However, this time it was not leaking locusts, but rain...

Under the influence of strong winds, rainwater penetrates everywhere, starting from the window edges, and the roof is also undergoing a waterproof test at the moment.

The result is not good, some areas have started to drip.

It was originally a dry day, but the sudden heavy rain directly caused the temperature to drop one after another.

Fang Yu and Fang Sanduo couldn't help but put a coat on themselves, and then began to move the supplies and beds to a location where there would be no rainwater leakage.

After finishing their work, the three of them sat on the stools and looked at each other. No one was in the mood to talk. Everyone just sat in a daze, waiting for the rain to stop.

Fang Sanduo and the other two were in a daze, and Fang Yu seemed to be in a daze. In fact, he was opening the task panel and was deep in thought while looking at the side quest [Migratory Locust].

Nearly half of the time has passed since Fang Yu took over this task.

According to the time bar above, Fang Yu's task will be completed in about 10 days.

But Fang Yu is not happy at all now.

Because, he felt something was wrong...

He has already experienced the locust plague. Judging from the disaster situation, it is indeed terrifying.

Wherever the locust plague passes, the grass and trees are withered and the ground is bare. As long as there are fields within the range, it is basically a devastating impact.

In just three days, Taguchi Village was removed from the Chu State because of this, and this was just one stop the locusts passed through.

For the entire Chu State, the harm caused by the locust plague was even more serious than the war.

But, here's the problem.

These problems are huge.

So big that it has become a hazard to the entire country.

But unfortunately, for individuals, especially for Fang Yu and the three of them who had just arrived in Taguchi Village, that was not always the case.

The locust plague destroyed Taguchi Village, but they had only been there for a month.

Because they had prepared in advance, Fang Yu still had sufficient supplies and the house was still there. Even if they moved to another village, it would not be a big problem for them.

Spending the last 10 days like this is like just lying down!

But...will the task be so simple?

Thinking of the tasks given by the system in the past, its difficulty was always determined based on Fang Yu's own real-time changes.

This kind of mission, whose difficulty and reward are not proportional, has never been released before.

So let's do this.

The problem is obvious.

Since the problem is not the locust plague, it means that the real problem has not yet arrived!

So what is the real problem...

The pupils in Fang Yu's eyes began to shrink again, and their focus was in front of a puddle on the ground.

heavy rain?!

"Uncle... I remember that I heard from the village chief before that it has not rained in Taguchi Village for almost two months, right?"

Fang Sanduo was in a daze, and when he heard Fang Yu's words, he felt like he was waking up from a dream.

"Oh...oh! Yes, I heard from the village chief last time that it hasn't rained in Taguchi Village for a long time. If it weren't for the abundant well water and river water, there would almost be no water for irrigation of the fields..."

"This rain is also the first rain we have encountered in the past few months..."

After listening to Fang Sanduo's words, Fang Yu lowered his head and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Yeah...it's true, I almost forgot, this is the first rain we have encountered..."

After hearing this, Fang Sanduo realized that this was the first rain they encountered after they fled to Taguchi Village due to drought.

Although it was because of the drought, it was all because of famine, so they never paid attention to the drought.

After all, although it was a drought, there was still no shortage of water resources along the way. This made their only memory of the drought the hot sunshine, not the fact that it had not rained for a long time.

"A long drought is followed by a locust plague... heavy rain... strong wind..."

"Drought...flood? Drought...flood! Flood!! Flood! Flash flood?!!"

Fang Yu continued to associate and associate what happened recently with what he observed, and then diverged his thoughts to think about what might happen next.

Then he remembered the summary of these natural disasters in modern society.

For example, severe drought will inevitably lead to locust plagues...and droughts and floods!

In modern climate research, climate change actually follows the laws of nature.

During a severe drought, the evaporated water vapor will not disappear out of thin air. This water vapor will often be carried to other areas by air currents, and then form large-scale rainfall.

Maybe there was a severe drought in the east for three months, but then it rained heavily in the north for a month.

There is drought and water shortage in the front, and flash floods occur in the rear.

This is drought and flood disaster.

Moreover, it is possible that after a severe drought in the same location, heavy rains may continue, and the drought and floods may change rapidly, causing two injuries.

Natural disaster, natural disaster, this is a natural disaster!

The more Fang Yu thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was becoming clearer.

Heavy rain, heavy rain, but the river and well water in Taguchi Village have not dried up, which means that the river water here is still very rich.

Water levels rise during heavy rains. In this era when levees were only sand structures, flash floods were basically unavoidable.

Moreover, heavy rains will not only cause flash floods, but may also cause major hazards such as mudslides and landslides.

These two hazards generally depend on mountain forest vegetation conditions.

But Taguchi Village has just experienced a locust plague in the past few days!

The mountains and forests are all red, how can there be any vegetation?!

Without vegetation to restrain the mountains, they are like puzzle pieces that have lost their borders. Under heavy rains, rainwater penetrates and the land cracks. As a result, some mountains will collapse, and then slide all the way under the erosion of rainwater, forming terrifying landslides and landslides.

mudslide!

Fang Yu had noticed before that Taguchi Village was in a low-lying area, and there was a small river next to the village.

On weekdays, this small river allows villagers to irrigate their farmland without having to travel back and forth, which is very convenient.

But at this time, this small river is like a road guide. As long as there is a flash flood, the flash flood will wash away the entire Taguchi Village along the river.

But at that time, the entire Taguchi Village will not only be removed from the map, but this area will also undergo earth-shaking changes!

This...is the biggest crisis!

When he thought of this, Fang Yu felt a chill rush directly from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver.

"Uncle! I'll go out and take a look. You guys stay here!"

After Fang Yu said these words to Fang Sanduo and the others, she opened the door directly and rushed out despite the exaggerated heavy rain falling like a waterfall outside.

"Why..."

Fang Sanduo behind him was still immersed in what Fang Yu had just said. Before he could react, Fang Yu had already closed the door again and rushed into the rain.

"Drought and flood? Flash flood??"

Fang Sanduo thought about what Fang Yu just said. As a native farmer, he understood some things.

Suddenly, his face turned pale, and Huang Mei next to him also reacted.

But at this time, Fang Yu had already gone out to investigate, and the two of them had no way of confirming it. They could only watch and listen to the sound of the wind and rain outside. The two of them clasped their hands and waited nervously for Fang Yu to come back.

At this time, after Fang Yu rushed out of the room, it was raining heavily outside, and the dense rain curtain made it impossible for Fang Yu to see anything clearly.

Even because the rain was so dense, the rain falling down on her nose made Fang Yu feel a little breathless.

Under such a violent storm, any rain gear would be of no help. Fang Yu lowered her head and ran towards the location of the river on the map against the rain.

The rain has moistened the dirt roads in the village, making the originally hard land look like a swamp. Walking on the road is muddy and watery. Even if you exert force, the straw sandals will stick to the yellow mud, making Fang Yu unable to lift his feet.

After a few times, the straw sandals completely collapsed, and Fang Yu could only walk barefoot on the dirt road.

He couldn't run because the ground was too muddy and he would slip if he went too fast. But even though it was just like this, sometimes the stones mixed in the mud made Fang Yu experience what it meant to feel sour.

With one foot deep and one foot shallow, I dragged my clothes with water seeping everywhere to the river bank.

Even if the visibility was unclear at this time, Fang Yu could see that the water level of this small river had surged.

Because originally this was supposed to be the shore, but it was already submerged at this time.

Not only that, the river water here is no longer as clear as in the inside, but is as turbid as the Yellow River water, with some weeds and branches mixed in the rapid river.

Do you still remember the wilderness survival knowledge package that Fang Yu obtained in the first world?

In this knowledge package, there are many ways to judge disasters.

Based on the knowledge in my mind, I can judge the scene in front of me now. The water level must have surged in the upper reaches of the river, and the forest has already been washed away by the rain.

That's why there is so much dirt, leaves and branches in the river.

Fang Yu didn't need to go to the well in the village to guess that there would be muddy water pouring out of the well, and there might even be signs of a fountain.

"Boom~~Boom~~"

At this moment, several thunder-like sounds came from Fang Yu's ears.

But the sound of thunder was dull, and under the heavy rain, if Fang Yu had not been sensitive to hearing, she would have almost been unable to hear it.

When he heard these sounds, Fang Yu's heart was already ringing with alarm bells.

This is not thunder, this is clearly the sound of mountains collapsing and torrents sinking!

Fang Yu couldn't bear to judge anymore.

Flash floods and mudslides.

Even if only one of these two disasters occurred, if Fang Yu did not leave Taguchi Village immediately, the outcome would be the same.

die!

There was no accident. Even if he had the ability to transform energy at this time, once he was swept down by the mudslide, he would only be able to survive the mudslide for a few more hours at most.

Not to mention, following the debris flow, there are countless huge rocks and trees hidden in the river.

These huge boulders and trees were swept down by the high altitude of the mountain, and their power was comparable to that of a truck driving 100 yards down the highway.

What about Huajin?

Even a body of steel will turn into slag under such an impact!

Fang Yu endured the pain of the soles of her feet being scratched by stones and ran all the way back to her room.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei.

"There may be flash floods! Hurry! Let's get our things and leave immediately!!!"

With that said, Fang Yu went up to lift the quilt and began to sort out the supplies.

Wrap the huozhizi and the salt shaker in layers of oil paper, and then tie them with hemp rope!

Those dried meats hang it directly around the neck.

As for Liangmi, he gave up the flour and other foods, brought rice and some pickle jars, and simply carried them with a cloth bag. He didn't bring anything else, so he just took Fang Sanduo and the others out.

This is the weather and conditions at this time.

Carrying supplies is really difficult.

Fang Yu really wanted to bring all of this, but this was obviously unrealistic.

Even with these things, Fang Yu was not sure whether these supplies would be able to safely accompany them until the end.

Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei didn't hesitate at all. They just stepped forward to take some supplies from Fang Yu, then each stepped on their backpacks and followed Fang Yu out of the rain.

"Goudan! What about them!!?"

When Fang Yu was going out, Fang Sanduo stretched out his hand and pulled his clothes and asked this loudly.

Fang Yu looked at the heavier rain in front of him and the extremely strong palpitations in his heart. He also wanted to tell the people in the village and let them go together.

However, in this situation, even he didn't know whether a flash flood would break out in the next second.

Every minute now could be the last moment.

"Uncle! It's too late!"

Fang Yu could only shout this to Fang Sanduo, then pulled him into the rain curtain.

Huang Mei followed closely behind, and the three of them held hands and ran in the same direction against the rain.

Although there was a continuous rain curtain in front of me, I couldn't see anything clearly.

But Fang Yu still has a map!

At this time, Fang Yu was extremely lucky. In order to hunt a few days ago, he had explored the surrounding mountains and forests. Therefore, at this time, his map clearly marked every road up the mountain and the height of each mountain.

When a flash flood breaks out, you can naturally only run to higher ground, to the top of the mountain, to avoid the risk of being washed away by the flash flood.

The three of them stumbled towards one of the mountains in the rain.

During this period, all the shoes of Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei were torn apart, and the soles of their feet were pinched or scratched by various stones, but the three of them did not dare to stop at all.

Just when the three of them ran out of the village, Fang Yu heard an explosion that echoed through the sky from behind!

"Boom!!! Boom!!! Crack... bang..."
