It rained all night and was still raining at dawn. Dong Tie ordered them to rest where they were.
There is no need to rush in the rain, not only because it is not war time and the military situation is not urgent, but also because there is a river on the way. There is no bridge on the river, but there is a ferry. Originally, the Dong Railway meant that everyone could swim in the water.
Crossing the river is another kind of experience... As a result, it rained all night last night, the river water rose, and many things washed down from the upper reaches, making it impossible to swim in the water, not even the ferry.
Xiao Ling was happy that he didn't have to hurry, but then he became depressed.
Although they live in a tent without being exposed to wind or rain, the problem is that they are now in the wilderness, with no village in front of them and no store in the back. They want to eat hot food... they can't even light a fire.
People don't like the stickiness caused by rain, and Xiao Ling doesn't like it either. The dry food doesn't taste good, and the water he drinks is mixed into the soil by the rain.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Just as Xiao Ling was struggling with the dry food, the sound of a gathering gong suddenly came from outside.
The sound of the gong was a military order, and the order was like a mountain. He quickly stuffed the dry food into his mouth, picked up his spear, and rushed out.
There was no place to take shelter from the rain, and there was no object to cover it. Everyone just stood in the rain, in groups of ten.
"The flood tide broke down the embankment earlier. We have to rush over to repair the embankment. Now, put all the extra things back in the tent and follow lightly." Yunlong Xuanyu came over in a hurry as soon as he received the news from Jiang Dian.
Xiao Ling, who was lightly armed, just sent the spear back and then came out again. The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.
Yunlong Xuanyu glanced at her deeply, but did not say another word. Although he was reluctant to part with it, military orders are military orders. Now that she is here, she cannot run away from the responsibilities she bears. Even if she is young, she
Soldiers, obeying orders is their bounden duty!
At this moment, Xiao Ling also understood the worry and reluctance in Yunlong Xuanyu's eyes. She smiled at him, nodded slowly, and then turned away her eyes neatly. Her eyes were firm and her steps were firm.
We regrouped and ran to keep up in the heavy rain.
Xiao Ling only roughly knew that the direction was south at first. After a few detours, she no longer remembered the direction. Anyway, there were people leading the way, so all they had to do was follow closely.
After running for an hour, I finally stopped.
We stopped at a river far away from a village. The embankment was built very high and was planted with trees. But at this time, for some unknown reason, a place collapsed. The water in the river rushed out, destroying the crops and collapsing.
houses……
Xiao Ling saw Dong Tie from a distance, with a dark face and murderous intent.
Then he looked at Yunlong Xuanyu, whose face was even darker than Dong Tie's. Xiao Ling was puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions.
Then they began to work. The people spontaneously found some cattail bags and filled them with gravel. Adult men and more than a thousand of them carried the bags to the embankment one by one. The river current was too strong, and the cattail bags stood upright.
Unable to stop it, someone built and drove piles on the embankment.
So, the people were divided into two groups, one side went to cut the wood, and the other side continued to carry the bags.
Xiao Ling is the one who carries the bags. Although she is indeed small, she is not the last one here. She still has the strength to be chosen here. The bags of gravel are scratching the skin and flesh, and they are raw.
It hurts. When I soaked in the river water, I felt so bad. I really didn’t know how to describe it. But one thing she was sure of was that the back was definitely bloody and could not be seen.
