Chapter 368
If the Xiahetang pond is connected to the main canal at this time, the water level of the Duohe that exceeds the warning line of the Xiahetang will directly pour down the cliff through the three main canals; while Wangjia Village under the cliff has no defense at all at this time. Once the floods pour down, the entire Xiahetang Village will be completely submerged.

Gu Qi's expression was light, and he was silent for a moment, and said: "Since the villagers of Wangjia Village have all moved up, if there are no people, it will be flooded if it is flooded."

Jiang Ping hesitated: "I went to Wangjia Village with the monkey a few days ago, and there are many fields that have just been replanted, so it is a pity that they are just submerged like this."

"Wangjia Village is surrounded by cliffs on three sides and the Si River on the other side. It is the best flood discharge buffer area in this area."

"Qi Ye, I understand."

"Has the matter over there in Luoshan Village been arranged?"

"It's all arranged. Shunzi is afraid that Zhuangzi will not have enough manpower, so he took the manpower back to Zhuangzi the day before yesterday to stand by."

The terrain of Guzhuang is not low, and the canals inside and outside the village are better than those in Xiahetang Village. As long as people are arranged to confirm the water level, even if the gates are opened to release water, there will be no major problems.

"Send people to resettle the villagers in Luoshan Village and several nearby villages, and send brothers to patrol near the main canal and several rivers. Make sure that no one is allowed to intrude in these few days. In addition, let the patrolling brothers Whistle, don't leave alone."
-
The rain did not ease that day and night, and the water level at the mouth of the Xiahetang crossed the warning line just after Sishi.

There is no avoidance, and at three o'clock, the gates are opened to release the flood.

Gu Qi stood in the house and quietly watched the heavy rain coming from the window with the whistling wind, like thousands of bloodthirsty beasts opening their man-eating mouths, wantonly rushing through the gate, as if they were going to blow the entire Yuzhong devoured.
-
"Qiye!" Jiang Ping hurried into the yard wearing his coir raincoat, fearing that the rain on his body would wet the house, so he just stood under the eaves and knocked on the door: "Master He and Lord Wang are here."

Why did you come here at this time?

Gu Qi frowned and took the long-handled folding umbrella at the door, and stepped out: "My lords, where are you now, are you safe?"

"It was placed in the house at the entrance of the village.

I heard that on the way here, mud and stones rolled down from a mountain wall and rainwater smashed down, and half of the roof of the carriage of the two adults was smashed off.

Fortunately, the two adults and auspicious people had their own auras, and they were not injured by the gravel, but they were only drenched in the rain all the way, and they were frightened, so their complexions were not very good at the moment. "

From Lushan County Cheng to Xiahetang Village, the weather is clear on weekdays, and it takes an hour to ride a horse. According to today's rain and night, it goes without saying how dangerous the journey is.

"Let the cook make some ginger soup and send it over, and prepare two sets of clean clothes, don't let the two adults suffer from the cold."

"Don't worry Qiye, the brothers set up a stove for the adults in the house, and I'll ask someone to make arrangements for other things."

"You go and get busy." After letting Jiang Ping go down first, Gu Qi walked towards the entrance of the village alone holding an umbrella.

Both He Yong and Wang Hebin were civil servants. Although the Dakang royal family liked to follow Zhou rites, most of the literati and students in this dynasty were good at the six arts of gentlemen, not all of them were weak.

However, the talents are different, and the family circumstances are also different, so that after the six arts are shared among individuals, some of them are somewhat watery.

It should be said that He Yong and Wang Hebin had a lot of common affairs due to their official positions, and they often needed to go out to the countryside in the early years. He has a day's idle job, and his physique is naturally better than other civil servants.

It's just that in today's situation, if there is no urgent matter, I'm afraid I don't have to take such a risk to come here.

It seems that something happened in Lushan County.
-
Thinking about it, Gu Qi stepped into the courtyard, and when he saw the fire in the house, he closed his umbrella and walked in.

"Master He, Lord Wang." Gu Qi saluted.

"Qi Shaodong's family." He Yong and Wang Hebin also stood up and clasped their fists in return.

Gu Qi leaned over and took the tea on the fire, poured a cup of hot tea for each of them and asked, "Are you two adults okay?"

"Fortunately, nothing major happened." He Yong took a big sip of tea and said with a sigh of relief: "When I came here, I knew that the journey would be difficult, but I didn't expect to encounter such a disaster.

Fortunately, Mr. Wang and I have a lot of lives, so we can come here to meet Qi Shaodong's family tonight.It's a pity that I was in a hurry when I came here, and I forgot to ask the attendant to prepare a change of clothes, and now I am in a terrible mess, Qi Shaodong's family should not be offended. "

"I have already asked someone to prepare ginger soup and clean clothes. It's just that I'm a rough person here, and the clothes I brought are not suitable for the clothes worn by the two adults. I hope the two adults will not be disgusted."

"Of course I don't dislike it, Lao Qi Shaodong will take care of it." Wang Hebin cupped his fists in thanks.

At this time, the clothes on the two of them had already been soaked by the rain, and now they were half-dried by the fire. It was not cold, but it was even more uncomfortable to be wet and sticky on the body. How can you dislike the rough clothes when you change into dry ones?
-
Not long after, Jiang Ping brought someone to bring a change of clothes, Gu Qibi stepped aside, and after the two of them entered the back room to change their clothes, the back kitchen also brought boiled ginger soup and two bowls of red oil just in time Bacon noodles.

He Yong and Wang Hebin drove the night road for nearly two hours and were worried all the way. They didn't feel very hungry at first, but now they realized that they were hungry after smelling the slightly spicy meaty noodle soup.

The two of them were not too polite. After drinking the ginger soup, they each held a large bowl and ate a whole bowl of hot bacon noodles, including noodles and soup.

"I had the honor to taste the red oil bacon soup in Qi Shaodong's shop twice before, and the taste of it has always been unforgettable. I have been busy repairing the river these days, so I haven't tried it again."

He Yong licked his lips, and put the soup bowl aside, "I eat this bowl of bacon noodles today, and I feel that the whole internal organs have warmed up."

Wang Hebin followed suit and nodded: "The taste is really different."

It was the first time for Wang Hebin to eat this kind of fragrant and spicy noodle soup. At the first few mouthfuls, he was not used to it. He choked his throat with a mouthful of spicy oil and coughed several times. I tried to eat a few more mouthfuls, and the more I ate, the more addictive I felt.

Obviously his tongue was swollen and numb from the heat, but he turned his head and wanted to put it down, but he was a little bit reluctant.Only then did he eat the whole bowl of noodles intermittently.

When he raised his head again, Wang Hebin wiped the sweat from his forehead, only to feel that his abdominal cavity was hot and comfortable.

"If the two adults like it, I'll ask the kitchen to deliver two more bowls."

"No, no." He Yong waved his hand: "There will be opportunities in the future, so let's get down to business first."
