Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 137 The Flood
"Master, is it all over?" Mingyu asked, looking at the well-fed old Murong.

"It's over. After so long a drought, it finally rained. It seems that the common people have something to look forward to." He burped as he spoke.

"Girl, I have to make up for your master during this time. You don't even know how bad the food outside is."

"Indeed, little junior sister's craftsmanship is pretty good." Wen Run's second senior brother spoke, Cang Jiye nodded vigorously from the side,

"That's it, it doesn't matter whose junior sister is." He said with great pride.

The elder brother, who was drinking Xiaoshi tea, nodded slightly, which seemed to be in agreement.

"Uh, I won't starve you all, but, Master, this matter seems to have changed." After speaking, Mingyu's tone gradually became serious.

"What's the matter?" Old Man Murong also put down his hand rubbing his belly, and asked Mingyu with a straight look.

"I think it's going to rain for a while. I wonder how long it has been raining in the north?" The originally delicate face wrinkled slightly at this time, with a deep expression.

"It started to rain on the third day after we came back, so it should stop now." Old Man Murong said uncertainly.

"How many days did it take you to come back?" Mingyu asked hurriedly
"Half a month." At this moment, the complexions of all present are not much better.

"Anyi, come out and check immediately, has the rain stopped in the north." The indifferent elder brother said
"Yes, master." A dark figure appeared at the door, and then quickly disappeared.

"Master, do you know what the distribution of rivers over there is like? It's best to have a topographic map." Mingyu said.

"Wait, I'll take it out of that bag." After Cang Jiye finished speaking, he immediately went to search for it.

"Look, this, this, this, these three major rivers are distributed at the junction of the three countries, just in the north, and there are not many tributaries. They meander around the village, and finally go to the lower places of the countries." Wen Run The second senior brother pointed to the map and explained in detail.

"When was the last time these rivers were cleaned?" Mingyu pointed to those rivers and asked.

"Clean up the river? Why do you need to clean it up?" Old Murong asked suspiciously.

"It means that these rivers have not been cleaned up!" Mingyu said loudly.

"Well, what's the use of clearing the river?" Old Man Murong continued to ask.

"If the river is not cleaned all year round, there will be a lot of silt, and then the river bed will be raised layer by layer, making the river bed higher and the river channel smaller. When the flood comes, the water storage in the river channel will decrease, and then overflow the river bed and flood the nearby land. .” Mingyu said calmly.

"What, isn't that a flood!" Old Man Murong lost his composure.

"The villagers in the north like to live near the water source, and the terrain there is flat. The only few high mountains are here and here. That is to say, the rain continues, and then it will flood these, these places. , it will be difficult for everyone to survive the disaster." Even the elder brother who was silent at the side couldn't help but say it.

"Yes, I just hope it's not what I thought, otherwise." Mingyu's words stopped.

"Otherwise, what will happen?" Second Senior Brother asked.

"Floods will kill people. If people are not buried in time after death, poisonous gas will be produced after a long time. When people are hungry and suffering, if they inhale this poisonous gas, they will easily get sick. If it spreads over a large area, it will be a plague." Behind Mingyu He didn't explain, and only uttered two words, but it made the hearts of everyone present feel cold.
