A torrential rain came suddenly, the raindrops of beans were smashed and fell, the river surface was like ten thousand arrows falling together, and the white expanse was seen as far as the eye could see, and the cattle and horses could not be distinguished from a hundred meters away, and everyone on the embankment was instantly poured into a soup chicken.

As the heavy rain continued, the water level of the Yellow River rose significantly, and the muddy yellow water roared and poured through the gap, constantly washing away the soil on both sides, and even the pyramid wooden cage that had just been pushed down showed signs of being washed away, and the situation suddenly became precarious.

Looking at the soil that had been washed away by the heavy rain, the gap in the embankment was slowly expanding, and the faces of all the officials present were a little pale, they had to accompany the adventure to the embankment because of the presence of the Qin Cha, and no one wanted to risk their lives because of this.

"Lord Xiao, if the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, get out of here quickly, otherwise I may be worried about my life!" Governor Song leaned into Xiao Huai's ear and shouted loudly.

Xiao Huai naturally knew the danger, but if he withdrew at this time, the efforts of the past few days would be lost, and once the embankment collapsed further, the people downstream were afraid that the casualties would be even heavier, and there were more than 20,000 refugees outside the city of Fanxian alone, so he shouted: "The embankment is in the people, and the embankment is destroyed and people are killed." All the brocade guards listened to the order, and the officials and officers and soldiers present today, if anyone dares to evacuate without permission, they will be cut first and then played! ”

Lu Xing and the other brocade guards responded in unison, and the cold and shining embroidered spring knife was suddenly pulled out, and he looked around murderously. The officials and the guards present all gasped and complained bitterly.

"Listen to it, Lord Qincha has an order, the embankment is in the people, the embankment is destroyed and people are killed, and those who still want to live will play for Lao Tzu, and the strength to eat milk and will be used by Lao Tzu......"

In an instant, those officials and officials were like crazy, desperately shouting and urging them to work like laborers, and Gou Zhixian, who had a big belly, didn't care about soiling his official uniform at this time, and ran forward and backward in his coat, shouting and scolding hoarsely.

Ho ho ...... Come on!

In the pouring rain, tens of thousands of laborers carried sandbags and mud bags, wooden stakes and stones ran wildly on the embankment, struggling to raise and strengthen the embankment, some fell into the mud, some fell from the dam and rolled down, and some accidentally fell into the river and were swept away by the turbid waves......

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Jin only felt that the blood was boiling in his chest, as if he was back in his youth in his previous life, and saw the soldiers on the front line of flood fighting and rescue with flags on TV.

Xu Jin beckoned Jin Baihu to his side, leaned into his ear and said a few words, and the latter immediately attracted more than a dozen brothers to shout loudly: "Lord Xu has an order, and he will be rewarded with ten taels of silver if he sets up a wooden cage." ”

"Lord Qin sent Xu to give an order, build a wooden cage and reward ten taels of silver......"

Although it was pouring rain, as soon as the shouts of Jinyiwei spread, the cheers of the laborers instantly overshadowed the storm, and Chen Dazhuang and others worked even harder.

Half an hour later, a pyramid wooden cage was finally erected, and various stone sandbags were continuously stuffed into it.

Bang...... The wooden cage is pushed into the gap!

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and under the "heavy reward" of ten taels of silver, one after another wooden cages were erected, and then pushed into the gap in the embankment, and then, sandbags were thrown down like raindrops.

Because of the wooden cage, there is no need to worry about being swept away by the water by throwing sandbags into the gap at this time, so the gap in the embankment is shrinking at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Song Governor and others were overjoyed when they saw this, and shouted as if they were drunk, urging the laborers to speed up the transportation of sandbags and mud bags.

It's about their own lives, everyone fights!

"Hey, hey......!" A tall and thin figure carried a sandbag on his back and climbed up from under the dam with difficulty, his body almost bent into a bow, and it took more than a dozen falls to climb to the top of the dam.

When this person approached, Xu Jin found out that it was the lord Bo Zou Qian, looking at the black yarn in the heavy rain, and the sparse beard was close to the face of the Fan County Lord Bo, Xu Jin was instantly moved to fill in, if the official can do this, even if he is a show, he is also a good official for a show!

Xu Jin took off his hat and coat, rushed under the dam, carried a bag of sandbags and climbed up, and shouted loudly with the laborers......

The reason why the role model is a role model is because it has the energy to drive a group of people, and soon, more young officials joined the ranks of carrying sandbags, and finally even the brocade guards took off their flying fish suits, rolled up their sleeves and went into battle shirtless......

Seeing this, the laborers worked even harder, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. With the cooperation of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the embankment was finally successfully closed.

By the time the heavy rain stopped, the gap in the embankment had been completely filled with sandbags of mud, and the water of the Yellow River was rolling east along its original course.

In the deafening cheers, Xu Jinyi sat down in the muddy water, although he was tired and collapsed, but there was a hearty pleasure.

Some of the refugees, who were from the Caozhou area, were hugging each other in the muddy water, and now that the gap in the Yellow River has finally closed, it means they will soon be able to return to their hometowns.

When the sunset after the rain completely sinks to the horizon, smoke rises from the embankment, and the sweet smell of food fills the air. The laborers eagerly waited for dinner, but Xu Jin was so tired that he had no appetite at all, and after drinking a stomach full of water, he dragged his legs like lead back to the camp, took off his official uniform stained with muddy water, and fell asleep with only a pair of pants.

If Xiao Wan or Yue'er were here, she would definitely wipe Xu Jin's body clean, and then change into a set of clean clothes, and even sit next to her all night to fan to drive away mosquitoes, but unfortunately it is Erniu who is serving next to Xu Jin now, and this goods only covered a piece of clothing for Master Xu, so he ran to eat by himself, and when he came back, he didn't even change his clothes, and he snored like thunder when he fell.

As a result, Xu Jin got up the next day only to feel an itchy throat, and sneezed a few times in a row, and couldn't help but secretly scream that it was bad, it was estimated that he had a cold, it seemed that he had to go back to the city today to find Xiao Lizi to decoct two doses of medicine, and be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, Xu Jin didn't want to hang under the cold and flu aggrieved.

Xu Jin got up and put on his clothes, and kicked Er Niu lying on the straw mat to wake up, this thing was rough and thick-skinned, and he lay on the ground all night in clothes full of mud and water, and he was still fierce after getting up.

As soon as Xu Jin walked out of the camp, Jin Baihu ran over with a panicked expression, and said urgently: "Lord Xu, something is wrong, some laborers gathered to make trouble, and detained Lord Xiao, Song Governor, Zhang Tongzhi, and Gou Zhixian and others, Lu Qianhu couldn't make up his mind, so let the bid ask Lord Xu to deal with it quickly!" ”

Xu Jin's complexion changed suddenly, and his head, which was originally a little swollen, instantly sobered up, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on, so good, why are those laborers making trouble?" ”

Jin Baihu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and briefly introduced the situation as he walked.

It turned out that this morning Zou Zhubo distributed the wages of the past few days to the laborers, and as a result, some laborers were not satisfied with the food they received and asked for a return, but several officials in charge of distributing the grain said some ugly things, which led to a conflict, and the angry refugees finally detained Xiao Huai and others who came to mediate.

Xiao Huai and others obviously didn't expect these laborers to be so bold, and as a result, they were given "a pot" by the refugees.
