Chapter 116 Let's sacrifice everyone in this city to increase her cultivation.
In fact, Xia Ye, who appeared very calm in their eyes, had the same question in his heart as they did.

With this concrete dam in place, this flood shouldn't happen, right?

After arriving in Cheng'an Prefecture, Xia Ye rarely rested, spending almost all his time supervising the completion of the dam.

But time was too tight; the rain had been falling for half a month, and the river had risen too high.

Therefore, Xia Ye was not sure.

And today is the day His Majesty said the dam would burst.

Xia Ye didn't know if the dam would burst, but he had done his best.

Whether the dam will burst or not, today will tell.

Xia Ye had no intention of leaving.

He wants a result.

If the dam could be kept from breaching, that would be the best outcome. But if it were to breach, he would have no face to return to His Majesty and would rather die with the people of Cheng'an Prefecture.

At this moment, in a courtyard somewhere in Cheng'an Prefecture.

A veiled woman was standing in the courtyard. Her maidservant, whether asleep or for some other reason, was leaning against a pillar with her eyes closed.

If you look closely, you can see that this maid is actually Lin Qingru's maid, Huaping.

At this moment, the woman standing in the center of the courtyard, wearing a veil and with her hands behind her back, was none other than Lin Qingru.

She was standing in the open courtyard, but the rain didn't fall on her.

Her body remained clean.

On the ground where she stood, there seemed to be some kind of pattern drawn. The pattern was in the shape of a circle, and the pattern inside was very complicated and incomprehensible.

But something strange was about it.

Lin Qingru was standing in the center of the pattern.

But when Lin Qingru cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood into the pattern...

The pattern that absorbed the drop of blood seemed to come alive in an instant.

The red patterns, resembling lines or bloodstains, began to flow and rotate.

Lin Qingru sat cross-legged in the middle.

Her hands were full of complex gestures, and then wisps of red and black light seemed to appear in her hands.

The next second, the light was pushed into the sky by her palm.

Lin Qingru watched the light rush into the sky and then scatter, her beautiful eyes filled with ruthlessness and ambition.

Let us sacrifice all the people of this city to increase her cultivation.

Since she had figured out that everything was in the right place at the right time, she would gladly accept it.

In Xinghua Village, the eldest brother of the Li family looked at his younger sister standing under the eaves and said, "Xiuxiu, come in. Standing outside all the time and getting wet in the rain will make you sick."

Looking at the drizzling rain and listening to her older brother's concerned words behind her, Su Xiuxiu lowered her head, turned around, and went back into the house.

There were quite a few people sitting inside.

Because of the rain, everyone had to stay at home.

My three older brothers returned a few days ago after completing the construction of the dam.

"Father, Mother, Brother, are we really not going to go up the mountain to take shelter? What if there's a flood..." Although Su Xiuxiu had been pestering her brothers since they returned, asking them about the dam construction and the cement.

She knew things might change, but she was still a little worried.

The rain hasn't stopped all day, and she won't feel at ease until today is over.

After all, on this very day in history, a flood swept through the entire Cheng'an Prefecture.

“Little sister, you never cared about these things before, why are you so concerned now? Don’t worry, really, that concrete dam is truly the most amazing and sturdy thing I’ve ever seen. This flood definitely won’t happen.” The second brother of the Li family was a relatively optimistic person. He didn’t understand why his little sister was so worried.

“Actually, Xiuxiu’s worries are not without reason,” Li Su said, speaking up for her daughter.

"The grain and medicinal herbs at home were bought by Xiuxiu; otherwise, the prices would have gone up considerably by now."

Because of the continuous rain, the rice seedlings in the fields were all flooded and died. It is obvious to the naked eye that this season's rice cannot be harvested.

The farmers not only failed to harvest anything, but also had to spend money to buy grain.

When my daughter first said that, it had just started raining, and at that time, the prices of both grain and medicinal herbs were not high.

Li Su listened to her daughter and had her husband buy a lot.

If we waited until now, the price would have doubled. Don't underestimate the impact of a double; for farmers, even a few coins' increase can mean the difference between a doubling and a loss, affecting their entire livelihood.

"Yes, yes, my little sister is very clever."

"But little sister, you should also be more optimistic."

Su Xiuxiu: ...Okay.

Since we're not going to hide in the mountains, let's take a gamble.

I'm betting that the concrete dam will actually work and stop the floods.

If not, then...

Then she would die alongside her family.

Anyway, she was lucky to be alive.

We're family anyway, we'll live and die together!

Just then, Li's third brother's voice rang out, "Hey, look, has the rain stopped?"

"It's stopped? It seems it really has stopped."

"It's been raining for half a month without stopping. I was starting to suspect that the sun had been blown out of its sphere, but now it's finally stopped."

Su Xiuxiu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried over to check.

Then I saw that the rain, which had been falling continuously, had stopped.

"Third Brother, what time is it now?" Su Xiuxiu asked.

"It's exactly noon..."

“Noon, exactly as recorded in history,” Su Xiuxiu murmured.

"Xiuxiu, what did you say?"

Su Xiuxiu shook her head, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

She remembered that, according to history books, the rain stopped around noon during this flood.

Just when everyone thought the rain had completely stopped, a flood occurred at the beginning of the 11 PM.

Su Xiuxiu calculated the time.

It is noon now, which generally refers to 11:00 to 13:00.

But she estimated that it would be 12 o'clock.

The period from 13 PM to 15 PM is called "Wei Shi".

The beginning of the Wei hour naturally refers to 13 PM.

12 to 13 o'clock.

In other words, if this flood were to occur, it would be within an hour.

Su Xiuxiu's heart tightened.

Will the floods occur in an hour?
Su Xiuxiu gazed at the sky, where the dark clouds had not yet completely dissipated, and silently prayed in her heart.

God, I've finally been given a second chance at life and a new life. Please have pity on me and don't take me back. After all, I lost my life in my previous life because I was saving someone.

And the people of Cheng'an Prefecture, so many people, I hope they can also be safe and sound.

Su Xiuxiu knew that there was nothing she could do now except pray and wait.

Then wait.

Awaiting the judgment of fate.

Not only was Su Xiuxiu waiting, but Xia Ye and his officials were also waiting, as were the Tang family father and daughter in Anhe County.

When Tang's father saw that the rain had stopped at noon, he was even more delighted.

The time I told my daughter was exactly the same, down to the second.

Then in another half hour, the flood will arrive.
