I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 224: Flood? Just pull it out!

Xia Qingdai couldn't help but feel a little depressed after scooping out ten scoops without seeing any results.

She retracted her arm, wiped it dry with a paper towel, then found her mobile phone, clicked on JD.com, chose the supermarket closest to her home, and bought a set of fully automatic water pumps.

This kind of small water pump is used by ordinary people to deal with water accumulation on balconies. It is very cheap. It only costs 26 yuan with a ten-meter water pipe.

Xia Qingdai thought for a moment and simply placed an order for another pack of disposable raincoats. Then I selected the paper towels, sanitary napkins, etc. that were on flash sale and collected enough free shipping, then clicked OK, paid and placed the order.

As someone from the free shipping area, I will never be happy to pay an extra penny for postage!
The supermarket opened at eight o'clock early, so she made an appointment for delivery right after the store opened, and then looked at the flood situation in Fortress Villa below.

The terrain of her castle is high, so she should be able to hold on for a few hours until her water pump arrives.

However, for safety reasons, Xia Qingdai still worked tirelessly to scoop water by hand, and did not stop until the water on the village road in front of her door was scraped close to the ground.

This movement has naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Fucui Villa.

Everyone hid behind the glass window, silently making the sign of the cross, and watched as a pink artifact descended from the sky - a huge water scoop, scooping the flood into the sky.

Mr. Owen said that God is a girl, which is true. Even the magic weapon used to deal with floods is pink.

After Xia Qingdai scooped up the water, she realized that her Dantian, which had been unsatisfactory due to a week's trip to the mountain city, was finally filled with energy transformed by the power of faith!
People, it is true that people are most pious in times of disaster.

Xia Qingdai carried a bucket full of sewage to the bathroom and poured it into the toilet. Then I took a shower, went back to my room, turned off the air conditioner, and sent a message to Master Liang asking for leave.

Tomorrow, she will fight to protect her castle.

After observing Fucui Villa, Xia Qingdai turned her attention to Biluoju again.

Because the storm there is not as big as that of Ifla Town, there is no worry about flooding for the time being.

In this case, Xia Qingdai pressed on the roof and returned to Biluo Residence.

At this time, the girls who had taken a nap had already gotten up. After finishing their chores, Owen was sitting in the study reading his favorite mathematics.

After more than three hours of hard work, all the food in Biluoju's cellar has been brought up. Some were piled in the utility room on the ground, some were piled in the kitchen, and some were piled in the servants' rest room.

Xia Qingdai had nothing to do, so she simply walked to the piano and played the piano to cultivate her spirits.

Her piano skills are now very good. After being influenced by Haydn and Mozart, as well as Owen's patient teaching, she has reached an excellent level among amateurs.

Her only shortcoming is that she doesn't practice for long enough. After all, piano requires familiarity, and she may deteriorate if she doesn't practice for a day. Not to mention someone like her who doesn't touch the piano for three days and only uses it for leisure.

While Xia Qingdai was playing the piano, Connie walked up to Owen who was reading a book and asked him to dance.

Although Owen is the only man here who is suitable as a dance partner, he still refuses Connie's invitation to dance.

If it were at a dance, his behavior would naturally be very arrogant and ungentlemanly.

But now it's not a dance, and it's at home, so Owen refuses without any burden.

In fact, his mind was not entirely on the book, and a large part of his mind was on the storm.

When everyone was taking a nap in the afternoon, he made some observations and calculations and was certain that there would definitely be flooding tonight. Unless a miracle occurs, the first floor where they live in Biluo will also be flooded tonight.

He had already told his cousin William to prepare him mentally for the transfer.

Under such circumstances, how could he want to dance with his silly cousin?

When Xia Qingdai's piano music stopped, Owen closed the book, walked to her side, and whispered: "Cousin, I don't think the Thames River can last long. The government will definitely open flood discharge points to prevent greater disasters. , Shoubao Palace, this place will be flooded by then.”

Xia Qingdai made some space for Owen and asked him to sit on the piano bench together. Then, while pressing the notes, she said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I've made the best preparations. I'm not afraid of the seawater pouring in."

Owen turned his head and glanced at Xia Qingdai, feeling that she exuded endless calmness. Then he smiled as if he remembered something: "My cousin is here, so I can rest assured."

Xia Qingdai returned the smile and asked him to play a four-hand song with her.

After dinner in the evening, no one was in the mood to go back to their rooms to rest.

The violent storm showed no sign of letting up, and everyone was a little panicked.

Xia Qingdai winked at Owen, took the lead in saying good night to everyone, went upstairs to her room, and traveled back to modern times.

She was just about to check whether the things she bought before had been delivered when the phone rang.

When I picked it up, it turned out that it was the JD delivery person who was worried about the customer returning the goods.

After getting the things, her brother Xia Shanglu had already gone to work at this time, leaving her to do whatever she wanted at home.

She generously put on a disposable raincoat and disposable medical gloves, then disassembled the automatic water pump, inserted one end into the shower drain in the bathroom, and held the other end in her hand.

The sky in the glass jar had already darkened. As Owen expected, London's drainage system was unable to drain the heavy rain in time and chose to release the flood. Floods finally occurred in the city at eight o'clock in the evening.

Due to the limited number of wild map tiles, when Xia Qingdai discovered the flood, the flood was already surging like a beast.

But she didn't panic. She had a water pump in her hand. The flood in Lilliput was nothing. Pump it out, pump it all away!
This thing is really easy to use. As soon as Xia Qingdai put the other end on the water that had just spread in the yard, the water was drawn away continuously. The turbid flood water passes through the transparent water pipes, and finally drains into the modern sewage pool through the sewer of the shower room.

This little flood in Lilliput is insignificant to modern times.

That is to say, the visibility at night was too low, and the communication in the eighteenth century was too bad. Otherwise, the sight of the floods flying into the sky would have shocked countless people.

Even so, the group of people in Biluoju who witnessed the miracle were still deeply shocked by the scene that happened in front of them.

In the desert of the power of faith, Xia Qingdai could actually feel the slightest scent of incense, which showed the sincerity of everyone's prayers at this moment.

It didn't take too long to pump water. After about half an hour, the water level nearby receded again.

Xia Qingdai put away the water pipe, and at the same time picked up a replacement board from her desk and placed it in front of the door of her Biluoju. It could serve as a barrier in case of another raging flood.

It's just that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. As soon as she finished placing the wooden boards, the hurricane showed her how powerful it was. The wooden boards were blown up and almost hit the main building behind it. Fortunately, Xia Qingdai had quick eyes and hands and caught it quickly.

While she was busy here, on the path in front of the door, a person suddenly floated over in the wind and rain. The reason why he was not blown away by the hurricane was because he was twice as fat as an ordinary person.

When he got closer, Xia Qingdai saw clearly that he was a servant from the Duke's family next door.
