There were no trees under the hill, so everyone slept on the wet mountain ground, and their lives were not very comfortable.
Xiao Keer didn't sleep well in the first half of the night yesterday, and was very sleepy in the second half of the night. She slept deeply in such a bad environment.
A hint of coldness hit her face, waking her up from her sleep.
Xiao Ke'er seemed to realize that she had overslept. She stood up suddenly and caught a glimpse of the busy figures of the servants and officers and soldiers.
The construction of the canal has already begun.
Everyone in front of me was very motivated, and I didn’t know how long the work had been started. A group of people more than ten meters away had already dug a channel that was five to six meters wide and three to four meters deep.
Seeing such a scene, Xiao Keer felt much more at ease.
She stretched out, not minding the dirt and dew left on her body after a night, and actually wanted to find a hoe and go up there to help everyone work together.
Suddenly, Xiao Keer noticed Xia Shang in a daze in the distance.
Seeing the whole person, Xiao Keer felt angry in her heart, thinking that she was a girl who knew how to work with everyone, but he, a grown man, was sitting around doing nothing. Did he really think that he was a high official?
Just as she was thinking about it, a drop of raindrops drifted into Xiao Keer's eyes, and she rubbed them instinctively.
After rubbing her eyes for a few seconds, Xiao Keer froze there, with huge waves in her heart: "It's raining... it's raining..."
For a moment, Xiao Keer remembered what Xia Shang said: "There should be a drizzle after dawn, but it won't last long..."
"Is it really raining? But it was a clear night sky last night, so why did it suddenly start to rain?"
Xiao Keer couldn't believe it. She looked at Xia Shang's back and murmured in her heart: "He said this just to prove what he said? It's impossible, it can't be so amazing. It must be a coincidence! Maybe this rain will keep going on.
, and it will get bigger and bigger, maybe there will be a flash flood here without us digging a channel..."
Xiao Keer comforted herself silently.
But after seeing this rain, Xiao Keer always had a bad premonition in her heart.
In the following time, Xiao Keer and Xia Shang seemed as distracted.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up again.
Seeing this scene, Xiao
Kerr felt cold from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
If you guess that there will be light rain in the morning, it is a coincidence, but at the same time, you guess that the light rain will not last long, it is a coincidence.
It only took half a day for Xia Shang to prove his words to Xiao Keer.
"Is he really that powerful? Is everything he said true? There won't be any heavy rain in the next month?"
"What if that's really the case?"
Xiao Keer couldn't sit still and took the initiative to find Xia Shang again.
"Quickly think of a solution!"
As soon as they met, Xiao Keer said such a meaningless sentence. Xia Shang was stunned for a long time: "What are you trying to do?"
"Everything you said has come true. If there really won't be heavy rain within a month, we must find a way to deal with it. Otherwise, what's the point of us coming here?"
Xia Shang wanted to ask back, thinking, weren't you very passionate and confident last night? Why are you starting to panic now?
But Xia Shang knew that he couldn't hit this little girl any more, so he tried his best to force out a smile without sincerity: "It depends on man, there will always be a way to solve the predicament at hand, we still have time, you just need to hope that I can think of causing trouble before the waterway is completed.
Flooding is enough. After all, under the current situation, using natural disasters to attack the enemy is the best way. As long as there is still one ten thousandth chance, I will try my best to think of it."
"You are so powerful, why can't you pray for rain? I heard people say that a powerful alchemist can not only predict the future, but also control the wind and rain!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Shang was so angry that he almost bit his tongue: "Little girl, have you read too many fantasy novels?"
"What novel?"
Xia Shang spat: "I'm too lazy to explain."
"I……"
"Don't bother me. I'm thinking of a solution. You just need to do your own thing."
Xiao Keer really didn't dare to disturb Xia Shang now. She was worried that she would affect Xia Shang's thinking, so she went elsewhere silently.
Xia Shang stood alone by the river. After one night, the water level dropped significantly by a few centimeters. At this rate of decline, the river would turn back into a small stream in less than five days.
Xia Shang had been thinking about how to change the current predicament all night. He went through all the ways he could think of and came to the conclusion.
There is only one theory.
Unless there is a natural abnormality and a sudden heavy rain, no matter what measures are taken, it will not help.
This conclusion made Xia Shang very desperate. Until now, Xia Shang has always believed that he is a very thoughtful person. No matter what problem he encounters, he can come up with a solution by himself, and he can be calm and calm in the face of any danger.
There are countless strategies to deal with even when facing the Grandmaster.
This time it was different. Xia Shang was thinking so hard that his brain was almost swollen, but he still had no clue.
"Xia Shang, don't be anxious. You have thousands of years of history more than others, and you will definitely be able to solve the problems at hand... You just need time, and you have plenty of time. Don't get into a dead end, and think about other things."
possibility."
Xia Shang took a deep breath, and a voice in his head kept reminding him, making him feel a little calmer.
"Yes, it will take at least six or seven days to complete the water channel. I still have enough time to think of countermeasures, so there is no need to rush."
At this time, Qin Yuan seemed to notice something wrong with Xia Shang. He came to Xia Shang and asked, "Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xia Shang waved his hand: "Nothing."
"I have not slept all night, sir. Please take care of yourself."
After saying that, Qin Yuan was ready to leave.
Xia Shang suddenly stopped him: "Wait... I just have something for you to do."
"What are your orders, sir?"
Xia Shang pointed to the river: "The water is flowing too fast. Take people to find a location with a smaller opening and fill up the water channel. Even if you can't seal the water, at least slow down the water flow so that as much water as possible can be preserved here.
time."
Qin Yuan frowned: "Sir, is this possible?"
"Try it and do your best."
Impounding existing water is one solution, but the intensity of this project is comparable to digging canals.
The manpower and material resources at hand are simply not enough to complete the task of crossing the river. All we can say is to narrow the distance between the river banks as much as possible and slow down the water flow.
This is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. It can only delay the attack for a day or two at most until the water channel is opened. Even if there is still water here, it will certainly not be enough to impact the entire valley.
Xia Shang's choice of this method was the best of all. It was better to have some relief than to do nothing.
