Zhu Ping'an learned a few days later that a strong typhoon passed along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, bringing this heavy storm and rain for several days. Fortunately, the typhoon bypassed Shenzhou and turned to the direction of the island country in the northeast sea, and did not make landfall in the land of Shenzhou, which is a blessing in misfortune. However, even so, affected by this typhoon, heavy rains continued to fall in the Jiangnan area for several days, and finally caused the Jiangnan water town to become Zeguo, and preliminary statistics showed that a total of more than 130 counties suffered serious floods, of which Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the most severely affected.

Jingnan was not spared! Although Zhu Ping'an mobilized the people to take precautions in advance and repaired and repaired flood control projects, human beings were still too small in the face of this major flood. Especially after the flood came from Taiping County and other directions, several floods merged, and Jingnan was ravaged by the flood.

However, the efforts of Zhu Ping'an and the broad masses of the people in Jingnan were not in vain; when Taiping County and other places were already ravaged by floods, the flood control project in Jingnan County persisted for more than a day before it was declared lost, giving Jingnan a day to react.

Zhu Ping'an used this day to move the people of the county to a higher flood shelter area. Although Jingnan also inevitably suffered from floods, no one in the county died in this flood, and only a few elderly people and children fell a few times on the way to transfer, and their bodies were fine.

"Oh my God, my house, my house has collapsed......"

"Daddy, our house has collapsed, so isn't the rice that we just harvested at home also soaked in water?"

A victim in the flood shelter watched his mud house in the distance being soaked and collapsed in the floodwater, and the husband and wife hugged each other crying and couldn't breathe. Although the house was only a mud house, it was almost all for them, and it was their greatest support in this world, and the house not only contained the food and finances they did not have time to have, but also their hopes.

Now that the house has fallen, it is as if their lives have also fallen, and they can't help but grieve into a river.

There are many sad families like them in the flood shelter. At this time, most of the villages were mud houses, and when the flood came, most of them were soaked except for a few brick houses and the lucky mud houses. They rushed to the flood shelter to take refuge, and basically carried gold, silver, soft bedding, and led cattle, sheep and other livestock, and they did not have time to move the food and other heavy goods at home.

Now when the flood comes, the family has not had time to move out, and it is basically finished by the flood.

Their homes were destroyed and their belongings were destroyed, and for a while, the people in the flood shelter couldn't help but cry bitterly.

"Okay, don't cry big guys, you can build a house if it falls, you can plant it again if the grain is soaked, and you can make it again if your property is destroyed. When this flood recedes, we will build new homes. ”

The gray-haired Li is a living and transparent one, and when he saw everyone crying, he couldn't help clapping his hands to encourage everyone.

"Lizheng, you always say it's easy, but it's not so easy to build a home again. That's all we can bring out, and everything else has been destroyed by the flood, so what can we do to build our homes again? ”

"That's right, Lizheng. The debt we owed for building a house has not been paid off, and now that the house is destroyed, why should we build a new home? ”

Li Zheng's words inspired some people, but most people were still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate themselves.

"Do you still have any interest, the ancestor fled here in the first place, what happened to the self-made family. At least you still have silver and gold with you. Besides, you are all young and strong, what is there to be afraid of, one brother and three gangs, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, we big guys help each other, cut down trees, beat billets...... Build a house. Besides, I believe that our county will also help us. ”

Ri is blowing his beard and glaring.

"County Honor?! At the beginning, the county summoned us to repair the embankment, saying that it was flood control and flood control, and we all went, which you have always seen. But as a result, the levees were repaired, and the flood should have come, and we should have suffered. We have all worked in vain, and our sins have not been less. ”

"That is, when the county magistrate gave an order, my men and children rushed to repair the embankment, and they couldn't stop it. As a result, the flood still came, and my house was also destroyed by the flood. ”

Some of the victims whose homes were destroyed could not accept the facts and blamed Zhu Ping'an.

"Bastard! What are you all talking about! I tell you! The reason why you can stand here alive now is because of the blessing of the county, what face do you have to arrange the county! If it weren't for the county zun mobilizing the big guys to repair the levee and block the flood for a day, how could we have had a chance to escape for our lives. If it weren't for the county, as soon as the flood came, we would have been swept away by the flood and fed to the king. ”

When Li Zheng heard these remarks, his angry head was bruised, and he pointed at their noses and scolded back.

"You all pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother! This stinky disease must be cured! Old Zhangtou, old Zhangtou, come here, come here, you tell them about your village. You know how happy you are. ”

While teaching the villagers who criticized Zhu Ping'an, Li Zheng beckoned to an old farmer and invited him to come over.

Lao Zhangtou fled from Taiping County, which is not too far from Taiping County, where some victims of the disaster fled after hearing that Jingnan County had set up a flood shelter area. Lao Zhangtou is one of them. Up to now, there are still many victims of the disaster in Taiping County, who have fled here one after another, and almost every hour or so, more than a dozen people have fled here from the direction of Taiping County. This flood shelter has successively accepted more than 100 refugees from Taiping County.

"Lizheng, what do you want me to say?" Lao Zhangtou was holding a little doll that had not been weaned for a long time, looking at a loss.

"Just tell the truth." Rizheng said.

"Ahem, I'll say that. The old and young masters of Jingnan County, I am Zhang Dashan, and everyone calls me Lao Zhangtou. I am from Xiangyukou Village, Taiping County, just about 20 miles ahead...... Our village was flooded the night before, and the whole village was still asleep, when the flood broke the embankment in front of the village and poured into the village. It's so miserable, the big guy didn't even have time to cry dad and call his mother, and they were all swept away by the flood. Fortunately, I was outside to relieve my little grandson of the stinky smell, so I was lucky enough to escape with my little grandson. The family is all gone......" Lao Zhangtou said as he spoke, and tears couldn't help but flow.

"Grandpa doesn't cry, grandpa doesn't cry......"

The little doll was still young, and she didn't know why her grandfather was crying, so she raised her little hand to wipe her tears.

"Old Zhang Tou doesn't cry, you still have grandchildren, the blood of your old Zhang family is still there, and the hope is still there."

Li Zheng patted Lao Zhangtou on the shoulder.

"Well, well, as long as my little grandson is still here, my old Zhang family will never be gone." Lao Zhangtou nodded vigorously.

"Did you hear that?! If it weren't for our county lord who took us to repair the embankment, blocked the flood for more than a day, and gave us the precious transfer time we won, our village would not have been swept away by the flood in the middle of the night! ”

Li Zheng took the opportunity to teach the villagers a lesson.

After listening to Lao Zhangtou's appearance, the villagers lowered their heads one by one, and they all figured it out in their hearts. Indeed, although repairing the levees did not stop the floods, they did win a chance to escape. Xiangyukou Village did not even have time to react because there was no one to direct flood control in advance.
