Chapter 177 The river embankment was destroyed, there must be something fishy!
Following the direction of Lin Xiao's finger, Li Yuyan saw that Linjia Village was still submerged in the ocean, but it looked much better today than yesterday because the flood was slowly receding.
At this rate, the floods should all recede before the sun goes down, right?
At this moment, all the villagers who had originally gone down the mountain were sitting around not far from Lin Xiao, staring at the direction of the flood receding with their eyes wide open, as if they were surviving the disaster.
"The floods have receded! We can go home!"
An old man said excitedly.
"Yes, our village has finally recovered!"
Another woman also said excitedly.
"Recovery? It can never be restored to the original state! Everything is gone!"
Sophora japonica, who was lucky enough to escape, looked hopeless. Next to her was her man Lazy.
She wished that Lazizi could be washed away by the flood and carried away far away.
But don't look at Lanzi, who is usually too lazy to get rid of maggots, but he is actually a good hand at escaping!
Huaihua's words silenced everyone again, and everyone's expressions became even sadder.
Some people who lost their loved ones in the flood simply lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
Lin Xiao looked at this scene and suddenly felt a little sore in her nose. She took a deep breath, suppressed the tears in her eyes, and said with a forced smile:
"Everyone, cheer up. It's a miracle that we survived. As long as we work hard, we can definitely start over!"
"How can we start over again? The farmland is gone, the crops are destroyed, and the food has been washed away by the water. How can we start over again?"
"Yeah, there's nothing left, what can we start with?"
"The house probably won't be able to live in anymore. How can we live like this?"
Everyone vented their frustration and dissatisfaction.
Li Yuyan stood next to Lin Xiao, watching her silently, with a trace of pity and a trace of worry in his eyes.
"We still have brothers' workshops, and we still have hands and feet. Believe me, as long as we are willing to pay, we will definitely be able to rise again!"
Lin Xiao raised his head and said with firm eyes.
Li Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Yes, we also have a brother's workshop, which is our cash cow. As long as it is there, everything we lose will be doubled!"
Li Yuyan's eyes were full of confidence.
This sentence was like a life-saving straw, instantly igniting everyone's inner hope.
Yes, there is also a brother workshop!
There is also a brother workshop!
Everyone was excited again.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Li Yuyan with a touch of tenderness in her eyes. She thought to herself that if Li Yuyan was a man and her social status could be restored to that of a woman, she would not mind sharing the difficulties with him!
Li Yuyan noticed Lin Xiao's gaze, and was slightly startled, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely evil smile.
In the evening, the floods in Linjia Village receded and the village returned to calm.
The villagers stepped on the thick mud, one step at a time, and cautiously moved towards their homes.
Lin Xiao stood on the high platform in the center of the village, looking at the people who were struggling to move forward, feeling filled with emotion.
When the villagers saw the flood, their faces turned pale with fright, and some even fainted.
But what about now?
But a group of people fought bravely and rushed home regardless of the danger!
The spirit of a group of people seems to have changed overnight!
The village chief and others also rushed back from Brother's Workshop. Behind them were Gao Jin and the brothers from Brother's Workshop, as well as a cart full of grain.
When Lin Xiao saw Gao Jin, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly greeted him:
"Gao Jin, why are you here?"
"If a brother is in trouble, why not help? If you need me to do anything, just ask!"
"Well, I'm not welcome! You arrange for a few brothers to go to the next village to buy some sulfur or sterilizing herbs. After the flood recedes, there are many bacteria. If the sterilization is not thorough at this time, it will easily cause a plague."
Lin Xiao gave the instructions in a leisurely manner, not feeling scared at all because he had just escaped from a life-and-death situation.
"plague?"
Hearing the word "plague", Gao Jin and others were startled, and they all recalled scenes of certain infectious disease outbreaks.
Gao Jin quickly arranged for a few brothers with fast feet to rush to the neighboring village.
Lin Xiao continued to give instructions:
"Those of us who have fled to the mountains haven't had anything to eat all day long. I have to trouble you to ask a few brothers to set up a big pot and cook a big pot of rice to replenish everyone's strength."
"no problem!"
Gao Jin readily agreed.
"The remaining few people will go help the villagers clean up the mud. You come with me to the river to take a look at the embankment."
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he walked towards the river.
Li Yuyan and Gao Jin followed closely behind him.
This river is the only river in Linjia Village. During the dry season, the river turns into a stream, and in winter, it turns into a torrential river.
Every year during the autumn harvest, when the rice is harvested, many fish, shrimps, crabs and other ingredients will appear in the river, so this river is called the "Fish Dragon River".
There is a high embankment built on one side of the Yulong River.
Li Yuyan pushed the river embankment hard, but the embankment did not move at all. It had obviously been specially treated and was very strong.
Li Yuyan looked at the river embankment and said puzzledly:
"The thickness of the embankment is probably three meters. I can't push it with my strength. How could it burst?"
Lin Xiao snorted coldly, did not say anything, but went straight to one place
Walk to a slightly lower ground.
Although Li Yuyan and Gao Jin didn't understand what she wanted to do, they still followed her.
Here, part of the river embankment has been washed away by the flood, leaving only the foundation standing alone on the river.
The floods poured in from this place and flooded the entire Linjia Village!
"Didn't you say that the river bank will not burst? What is this?"
Lin Xiao glanced at the river embankment, with anger on his face.
She knew that the river bank bursting had nothing to do with Li Yuyan, but she still felt uncomfortable and could only vent it out in this way.
Li Yuyan didn't know how the river embankment burst, but he looked at the river embankment with a bit of confusion.
The river embankment bursting is not accidental, there must be something fishy in it!
Gao Jin's eyes flickered towards the river embankment.
"Don't you find it strange? The entire river embankment is as hard as iron, but it broke in this area alone. Although the impact of the river was very strong, it would not destroy the river embankment, right? And it was still in this area.
"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, and looked at the river embankment with a hint of suspicion.
A bit strange indeed!
Gao Jin's eyes flashed and he said:
"The river embankment was destroyed, something must be fishy!"
Li Yuyan looked at the river embankment and felt strange.
"Let me see."
Li Yuyan knelt down and observed carefully.
He placed his hand on the river embankment, feeling the solidity of the river embankment. He became more and more doubtful, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Axiao, did you see what happened when the river embankment burst?"
