The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

【Charm: 22】

[Strange beast, with a fish body and bird wings, sounds like a mandarin duck, if it appears there will be disaster]

"The appearance of the fish is not a good sign," Liu Bei said, "when this beast appears, it is usually accompanied by floods."

"Doesn't that just prove what Sister Xuande guessed? The Yellow River Rebellion is coming?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"But, it shouldn't be blackfish, or rather, there shouldn't be so many blackfish."

At this time, Guan Yu also stroked his long hair and said: "The fish are not as ferocious as the duck. They are more docile and often gather together to prey on fish and shrimp."

"What I mean is that this fish shouldn't do something like crashing into the river bank?" Liu Zhaoqing said.

"Yes." Guan Yu nodded.

After Liu Zhaoqing pondered for a moment, he said to the two of them, "Let's go take a look at the breach."

Accompanied by Liu Bei and Guan Yu, the three of them came to the river bank together, walked to the previous breach, and did not find anything unusual.

It was the third day of February. The Yellow River was still half frozen. Occasionally, you could see dark shadows with wings flying under the ice. They were fish.

"Do these silver carps usually gather like this?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"That's right." Liu Bei nodded, and then he remembered, "I've never heard of such a large gathering of fish before. It's like..."

"It seems like something is driving them away." Liu Zhaoqing continued, frowning.

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Any creature that can drive away the fish must be a very fierce beast. The Yellow River is in chaos this time... The surrounding counties are in danger."

Liu Bei nodded: "We still have a month to prepare, we must hurry up..."

While Liu Bei and Guan Yu were talking, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly looked towards the Yellow River.

"Zhaoqing, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so dazed?" Liu Bei noticed Liu Zhaoqing's expression at this time.

Liu Zhaoqing pointed to the vast, frozen Yellow River and said, "Look, the Yellow River is... glowing."

When Liu Bei and Guan Yu heard this, they turned their heads and were stunned.

The frozen Yellow River was actually flashing a white light.

And the next second, smoke began to rise above the Yellow River.

"Is it foggy?" Guan Yu asked in confusion.

"No, this is not smoke, it's water vapor." Liu Zhaoqing said with a shocked look: "The temperature of the Yellow River is rising... The whole river is getting hot..."

The rivers are sparkling, the temperatures are rising, and the ice is melting.

"The river is opened... ahead of schedule."

Chapter 30 I have been waiting for Qingjun to say this for a long time

On the streets of Pingyuan County, there were sounds of footsteps, and soldiers holding spears were running out of the county.

This commotion naturally caught the attention of Zhang Jiao, who was distributing flood prevention precautions drafted by Liu Zhaoqing at a house in the west of the city. She turned her head to look in the direction of the Yellow River.

Baoer, Xiaonu, Bo Cai Liu Pi and others who were accompanying them also looked confused.

"Sister Baoer, did I hear it wrong? What was that loud noise just now?" Liu Pi, who was carrying dozens of kilograms of cloth easily, scratched his head and asked.

"I, I heard it too." Gong Du, who was holding a stack of flyers, said in a low voice.

"Yes, and twice." Bo Cai also nodded.

Bao Er also heard it, of course, and the direction of the sound seemed to be the riverbank. She looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "Madam, is the head of the family in trouble..."

"Qingjun said he went to the county magistrate's mansion. The sound was from the direction of the Yellow River. He should be fine." Zhang Jiao said, "Let's continue to complete the task entrusted by Qingjun."

"it is good."

A few people went to the next house again.

They knocked on the door and handed out a list, and then Baoer began to read the contents on the list. The farmer was very annoyed at first, because he couldn't understand what was being said and he had to sleep because he had to go to the river to take over the shift and dig the canal the next morning.

But when he heard Zhang Jiao saying that he would get money after carrying the scriptures, and if he carried them well, he would even get two meters of coarse cloth.

Now the farmer no longer yawned and was no longer listless. He looked as energetic and smiling as if he had been given an injection of chicken blood.

When Zhang Jiao and others were leaving, he was still holding the cloth and asked several people's names repeatedly.

"I am Liu Zhaoqing of Qingfu, who was entrusted by the county magistrate Liu Bei to do this."

Zhang Jiao gave her husband's name.

After visiting two more houses, Zhang Jiao and others suddenly stopped.

Because they found that the streets were flooded without them noticing, and the officers and soldiers began to move around more frequently.

"Madam... something seems to have happened..." Baoer said worriedly, with his hands on his chest.

"Let's go back home first and put our things away." Zhang Jiao made a decision immediately.

Several people hurriedly put the things back into the carriage, and then Liu Pi drove the carriage and hurried back to the mansion.

After they returned home, they found that a lot of water had flooded the house. Baoer called a servant to ask what was going on.

The servants said that the well in the backyard had been bubbling with water, as if the lair of some water king had been disturbed.

Zhang Jiao hurried to the backyard, ignoring the water on the ground. When she got there, she saw that water was gushing out of the well just as the servant said.

And there is not only water, but also turbid mud and some small fish and shrimps.

"This is... water from the Yellow River." Zhang Jiao immediately recognized the origin of the water.

"How could that be? Although part of the underground river connected to the wells in Pingyuan County flows into the Yellow River, but... even if there is a flood, we have never seen such severe backflow of river water..." Baoer didn't understand what was going on.

"River...disaster." said the little girl.

"River disaster, have I ever seen such a thing?" Baoer asked immediately.

The little girl nodded, and at this moment, she stretched out her hand and shouted to Zhang Jiao: "Be careful!"

Zhang Jiao looked up and saw a big fish rushing out of the well. The fish was as big as a cow, had two wings on its back, and made a strange sound.

"Is this a mullet?" Zhang Jiao recognized it and said with a serious expression, "The Taiping Essentials states that this fish lives in rivers and has a peaceful nature. How could it come out of a well?"

After the silver carp rushed into the sky, it spread its wings and then set its sights on Zhang Jiao.

Baoer was so scared that his face turned pale, and he quickly went to pull Zhang Jiao, while the little girl took out a dagger from her arms and tried to move forward.

But Zhang Jiao stopped them all.

Then, as if sensing something, Zhang Jiao stretched out her right hand towards the fish.

A faint golden light shone in her dark eyes. Her slender fingers were gradually covered with a layer of light, and she whispered the words she had learned from the book on earth.

"Boundless Yellow Sky, listen to my command..."

In an instant, the eyes of the silver carp in the sky became clear, and its taut wings softened, as if it had been greatly comforted and became extremely docile.

However, in the next second, the fish's eyes suddenly turned red, and the fish flapped its wings and rushed directly towards Zhang Jiao.

Failed.

Zhang Jiao bit her lip and took a step back. Seeing this, the little girl immediately stepped forward and cut the left wing of the fish with a knife. The fish instantly tilted and fell onto the rockery.

"Take my hammer!"

Liu Pi, who came running at the noise, took a hammer and smashed the struggling fish hard. The blood mixed with mud and fish eyeballs splattered all over the backyard.

Almost at the same time, the servants' shouts were heard outside the mansion again.

"The master of the family is back! The master of the family is back!"

The girls immediately showed their delight. This good news made everyone, who were still in the panic of catching fish, feel at ease instantly.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Jiao to pick up Liu Zhaoqing, Liu Zhaoqing walked into the backyard through the muddy sewage.

Seeing that everyone was there and everything was fine, Liu Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he also saw the fish with its head smashed into a paste, and Liu Pi holding a sledgehammer with a bloody face.

"Huh? Liu Pi, are you injured?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"No, this is fish. I'm fine." Liu Pi replied immediately.

"How come there are fish here?" Liu Zhaoqing looked at the well that was still bubbling with water and asked in surprise, "Where did it come from?"

Bao Er, who was still frightened, patted his chest, nodded and said, "Yes, Patriarch, you don't know what happened just now... It really scared me to death."

"This well is connected to an underground river, but there is no secret passage in the underground river that is large enough to accommodate such fish, unless the peaceful minnows go upstream from the narrow mouth and try their best to break through the river channel... Qingjun, has something happened in the Yellow River?" Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

Then she discovered that not only were Liu Zhaoqing's clothes dirty, but there was also a lot of mud on his hair and face, and even his clothes had many tears.

"And Qingjun, this is on you..."

The others also noticed something strange about Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing waved his hand: "I'm fine."

"Just now, the county magistrate and I were supervising the flood drainage canal by the river bank. Unexpectedly, the river bank suddenly collapsed, and the fish you saw just now flooded down with the river water. Then, thanks to the county magistrate and his sister, the breach has been blocked for now."

Liu Zhaoqing did not make what happened just now sound too serious, as he was worried that it would cause concern to Zhang Jiao and others.

"I'm glad Qingjun is okay." Zhang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although I'm fine, but...time is running out in Pingyuan County." Liu Zhaoqing rushed back not only to make sure whether his family had any accidents, but also to do other important things.

"Bo Cai, you two ask the servants to use a millstone and put more stones on it to block the well water outlet to prevent the fish from coming out again. Even if it can't be completely blocked, at least there will be a warning sound."

"Xiao Du, take Liu Pi to take a bath and clean up the yard, otherwise it may cause the spread of diseases such as malaria."

"Jiao'er, Bao'er, and my little girl, come with me." Liu Zhaoqing said quickly to the few people.

After arriving at the bedroom, Liu Zhaoqing closed the door.

"The Yellow River has undergone a major change. A great chaos is coming. The entire Pingyuan County may be in danger."

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the three people with a serious face, paused for a moment and said: "Originally, I planned to let you go to the north for refuge before the river opened in March, but now it is too late."

"I think... now is the time to make our name known and use all means to unite everyone to deal with the disaster."

"What do you think?"

Baoer and Xiaonu both looked at Zhang Jiao. As the lady, she definitely had the absolute right to speak.

At this time, Zhang Jiao's eyes were already flickering.

"Jiao'er has been waiting for Qingjun to say this for a long time."

Chapter 31 Three Steps to Save the People

The clear eyes reflected one's own shadow.

The firm and calm words are filled with so much expectation.

Zhang Jiao has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

The noise outside the window seemed like the gongs and drums of celebration at this moment.

No one would think that at this moment, Zhang Jiao's eyes would have room for anything other than the man in front of her.

Liu Zhaoqing was stunned for a moment by his wife's expression, and then he immediately smiled. His nervous heart seemed to be brushed by gentle running water, and it relaxed a lot.

"Having the support of my wife is like having a hundred Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."

"Qingjun...you are really exaggerating. How can my wife compare to those three talented people?" Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and blushed.

The atmosphere gradually became strange.

The little girl's face felt a little hot, and Baoer covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes shaped like crescents as she smiled.

"Ahem." Although those present were all close family members, Liu Zhaoqing also felt that his love words seemed a little inappropriate.

After coughing immediately, he said seriously: "Bao'er, why are you covering your mouth? And my daughter, you two should give us some suggestions as well."

The little girl immediately shook her head. She had no intention of offering any suggestions.

Bao Er also said with resentment in his eyes: "Master, please don't make things difficult for me and my little sister. We don't have your talent."

"Xiao Niang" is the same as "Xiao Nu", both are nicknames for Zhang Nuliang. These days, her relationship with Xiao Nu has improved a lot, and Xiao Nu has become much more cheerful as a result.

"I haven't actually thought it through completely. I just gave a rough idea. After all, time is urgent," said Liu Zhaoqing.
