"I will obey my mother-in-law." With Zhang Xiaoying's words, the little girl hurriedly promised.
"My mother-in-law doesn't know your name yet!" Zhang Xiaoying chuckled, "Why don't you tell your mother-in-law?"
"It was winter when I was born. My name was Wei Dongdong. My sister was born in July, so she was named Wei Xiaxia." The brother on Pei Zhaolin's back answered Zhang Xiaoying first, "If my mother-in-law doesn't like it, we can change it."
"It sounds good, no need to change it."
Zhang Xiaoying shook her head.
She could be called whatever she used to be, and she didn't save people just to have two more child laborers.
The brother and sister probably relaxed, and soon fell asleep one after another.
Zhang Xiaoying and the others did not wake up until they returned to Ping'an Town.
The mountain that Zhang Xiaoying blew up diverted the floodwaters to a large extent and discharged the floods upstream. Although there was an impact on Ping'an Town, it was much better than the previous direct discharge to Ping'an Town.
It's just that most houses were flooded, and no houses were washed away.
Losses are minimized.
This is also the best that Zhang Xiaoying can do within her ability.
The people in the town have basically moved to higher ground.
The geology of Pingan Town is different from that of Qingyun Village. So far, Zhang Xiaoying has only occasionally seen small landslides that would not even block the road.
In Dafu Village, because the villagers live higher up, only the fields were flooded and the houses were still in good condition.
It's already dark now.
The rain pattered lightly outside.
Zhang Xiaoying arranged for Wei Dongdong brother and sister and asked Pei Zhaolin to take care of them. She went to the kitchen.
There were still some ingredients in the kitchen, so Zhang Xiaoying cooked a pot of rice, fried eggs, fried two vegetables, made do with dinner, and brought it out to Pei Zhaolin and the others to eat.
Both of them were starving, devouring their food ravenously, and had no image to speak of.
Zhang Xiaoying brought food to brother and sister Wei Dongdong again, but they still had little appetite. The brother and sister shared a bowl of rice and let Zhang Xiaoying take the rest, as if she was afraid that she would eat too much.
Zhang Xiaoying was helpless, but she also knew how scared the two of them were currently, so she didn't force them.
"I have to go to the city again. You should take care of these two children first and take turns keeping watch at night. If the rain gets heavy again, don't stay in the village anymore." Zhang Xiaoying put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating, and told Pei Zhaolin and the two.
"Master, you've been running around all day and you still don't take a break?" Pei Zhaolin stopped and said vaguely, "I'll go to the city, you stay."
"I'm telling you, not discussing with you." Zhang Xiaoying's face darkened.
Pei Zhaolin did not dare to say anything.
"Master, go, A-Lin and I will take good care of Dongdong and Xia Xia." Wang Jia said quickly.
Zhang Xiaoying nodded, went in and told the two brothers and sisters, put on her bamboo hat and raincoat and left, quickly disappearing into the night rain.
The levees have been opened to release floods, easing the risk of levees bursting.
Zhang Xiaoying looked at the torrential river water rushing down from the gate. Most of the flood water that was originally going to be washed downstream was diverted to the valley. This rain was really too heavy!
Yu Yang didn't sleep either. He vaguely saw a figure by the river in the distance and ran over immediately, fearing that someone would jump into the river because of a natural disaster.
As a result, before he even got close, he saw a figure flash in front of him and disappeared in an instant.
"Master!" Yu Yang immediately recognized that this was Zhang Xiaoying. Only Zhang Xiaoying could have such incredible movements and reactions.
"Are you planning to sneak up on your master and destroy your ancestors?" Zhang Xiaoying walked out from behind Yu Yang with a smile, "Fortunately, your master, I knew it was you early, otherwise, I would have kicked you into the river to feed the fish!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaoying immediately noticed that the secret guard beside Yu Yang clenched his knife.
Zhang Xiaoying: "..."
These secret guards were so loyal, fearing that she might really touch their master. The way they looked like they were ready to fight at any time really ingrained their mission of protecting their master into their bones.
"It was dark at night and we were far apart. I thought someone was out of ideas. Master, thanks to you, the disaster situation in Ping'an Town is much better than we expected." Yu Yang said seriously, "How is the situation over there in Shixi Town?"
Zhang Xiaoying briefly and comprehensively explained the situation in Shixi Town.
Yu Yang was silent for a long time before sighing softly.
The deceased has passed away. What he has to do now is to save the living people first. As for the rest, he has to wait for the imperial decree to provide disaster relief.
He quickly spread the word about the flood in Guangxing County to Fucheng and the capital, believing that the imperial court would take action as soon as possible.
Facing a natural disaster for the first time, Yu Yang also deeply felt powerless. No matter how hard he tried, he could not contend with the natural disaster.
"What we have to do is to deal with the aftermath of natural disasters and comfort the people. When natural disasters come, no one can stop them. Just do your best and have a clear conscience!" Zhang Xiaoying patted him on the shoulder, "Also, wait until the water recedes.
After that, we have to dredge that side and drain the water out!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoying pointed to the valley where the flood water was diverted.
There are frequent rains in spring and summer. Guangxing County is located in the south and is not very far from the sea. It is also affected by typhoons. There is no weather monitoring in this era. If there is another heavy rain one day, the downstream will be more dangerous.
"Okay, Master, do you have any other ideas?"
"No, I know nothing about water conservancy."
Zhang Xiaoying shook her head.
In her previous life, she focused more on making her medical skills and martial arts stronger. As for treating water, she really didn't have much experience with it.
At that time, I thought of blowing up the mountain because I didn't want Ping'an Town to be flooded.
Those who are good at water conservancy may not necessarily know how to do it.
It can only be said that what she came up with was the best way she could think of, and she could complete it alone.
"Perhaps it would be better for Ayang to learn from the officials who are good at water control when the imperial court sends them. As a teacher, he will be self-aware and will not point fingers in areas that he is not good at."
"Master is humble."
"I'm not kidding you!"
Zhang Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him.
Look back and see if there are any records on water control in the space.
It's true that when the book is used, it will be less regrettable.
If she had known that she could time travel, she would have definitely learned all the knowledge she could use, mastered it, and then shined in this era!
It's a pity that life didn't know it earlier.
Not all the information she hid in the space was available.
What she can take out now is considered lucky that she did not pick and choose among those books and throw away those books that were completely useless in her previous life!
Yu Yang looked at the turbulent river. This river, which was usually clearly visible to the bottom, had now turned into a ferocious beast that seemed to be able to devour everything, showing off its power with bared teeth and claws.
"Master, please go back first. It's been hard for you after running around all day. It's good that your apprentice is here for the rest." The master and apprentice stood by the river for a while, and Yu Yang turned around and said to Zhang Xiaoying, "If anything unexpected happens,
, I will send someone to ask for Master as soon as possible."
Zhang Xiaoying nodded.
With Pei Zhaolin and Wang Jia here, taking good care of Wei Dongdong is easy.
She really needs a good rest, she's already overdrawn today.
