Chapter 174: A Group of Gossipy Senior Brothers......

No, brother is clear about the state, Duan Shaojun quickly shook off this thought, patted Chu Chu's slender waist, and whispered in her ear. "Awake?"

"Wake up, what is this, weird and elastic." Chu Chu's sister yawned cutely, and poked her finger again and said curiously.

Duan Shaojun wanted to cry without tears and stretched out his hand, his legs were clamped, and finally there was a corona missing under the sun, and the Chu Chu girl who was irradiated by the dazzling sunlight snorted dissatisfiedly Duan Shaojun glanced at Duan Shaojun, the watery autumn eyes and lazy expression were like a puppy whose beloved toys had been snatched away, and Duan Shaojun almost loosened his legs, so that his little brother stood up again to block the vicious sunlight for his beloved beauty.

"Girl, it's time to get up, the sun is rising so high." Duan Shaojun resisted the urge to take the little brother and continue to use the little brother as a toy for Chu Chu's sister, hardened his heart and said with a kind smile like a goldfish guy.

"Oops, I slept all night?" Sister Chu Chu finally woke up, just sat up, and when she saw the sentry standing not far away, she couldn't help but hide her head on Duan Shaojun's chest, her pretty face was as red as the clouds in the sky, curled up on the big giant, like a poor quail.

"It's okay, the two of us, you're sleeping, I'm sitting, the two of us are innocent and haven't done anything, there's nothing to see." Duan Shaojun is very upright and very gentlemanly. Of course, the matter of being played with by the little brother in the dream of Chu Chu's sister was naturally skipped with the Spring and Autumn brushwork.

"Hey, the water seems to be a little smaller." Chu Chu's sister pinched Duan Shaojun's waist with a red face, and then she mustered up the courage to sit up. Rubbing his watery eyes. I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

#####

"yes. The water had gone down a little over two feet. Duan Shaojun said dryly. Just go down like that, it's not very useful at all, you can see from the wall of Lanting City in the distance, compared with the half-flooded city gate, the water depth is still close to two meters.

In other words, if the flood water wants to recede completely, it will take three to five days if it goes well. I'm afraid that there will be another heavy rain, or there will be problems upstream.

"Miss. Miss, where are you......" In the distance, there was a panicked call. Chu Chu's sister stood up with a sigh, just ran two steps, and looked back at Duan Shaojun. "I'll go back first, you ......"

"I'm fine, go back, I'm looking at the water." Duan Shaojun continued to sit upright, but his smile was a little stiff. However, Chu Chu didn't notice it, and ran away with a wave of her hand.

Watching her slender and cheerful back fade away, the smile on Duan Shaojun's face disappeared completely. Moaning and lying down directly on the stone. After sitting all night, my legs are like countless ants gnawing. It's so uncomfortable to death.

"Duan Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" A county guard next to him saw Duan Shaojun moaning and struggling on the boulder like a dying silver carp, and couldn't help but come over curiously and asked.

"It's nothing, the legs are numb, the numbness is terrible." Duan Shaojun wanted to cry and explained without tears, it would not be good to save this guy from making a fuss and attracting people.

After Zhu Xiang's kung fu, Duan Shaojun stood up, moving his hands and feet, and felt that he was finally able to walk well, Duan Shaojun cheered up and walked towards the camp where the abbot of Mengfu was.

Before he entered the wooden shed, he met the senior brother who went to distribute porridge and food carrying two steaming wooden barrels, glanced at Duan Shaojun with a very strange look, and then smiled mysteriously. made Duan Shaojun incomprehensible.

"Little junior brother, I shouldn't have done anything bad last night, right?" As soon as he entered the wooden shed, the second senior brother, who was drinking rice porridge, wiped his long beard and squeezed his eyebrows at Duan Shaojun. The senior brothers in the room, one or two, all laughed loudly.

"How is it possible, a righteous gentleman like me, even Yanagi Hui can only bow to the wind, how can he do anything unseemly." Duan Shaojun glanced at the big-mouthed second senior brother angrily, and saw that the master who was drinking porridge also looked at him with a strange look, his heart tightened, and he put on a heroic and heroic spirit.

"Last night, senior brother, I saw that your kid had taken Miss Simon out of the door." The second senior brother is definitely slandering, and it is clear that Chu Chu's sister took the initiative to send it to the door.

"Second Senior Brother, you're too good at reversing black and white, aren't you? Obviously, it was Chu Chu's sister who took the initiative to find ...... Damn, you people, how can you look like a Buddhist disciple, Master, I am also your disciple, and you will not speak for me when I am bullied by a group of senior brothers. ”

The senior brother laughed crookedly, which really made Duan Shaojun feel a sense of grievance that he couldn't explain clearly when he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but complain in a whisper to the abbot who was squatting aside to watch the excitement.

"Afraid of what? You kid is a character who is willing to bow down to even Yanagishita Megumi, can it be difficult for you to gossip mere? The abbot glared at this guy angrily, as if he was not energetic after three days without making something happen, and then continued to drink the porridge with taste.

Duan Shaojun could only sit down with a disgraced face, took the porridge bowl handed by a senior brother, poured it out and drank it in a big gulp. Today's porridge is thinner than yesterday's, and there is no way, if it has been determined that the food is not well controlled, it can only last less than three days.

Nowadays, the water is receding too slowly, so just in case, the amount of food used will be reduced from today.

"But today we have sent people to hunt in the mountains, and I think there will be good news in the afternoon." Drinking rice porridge, the abbot said in a dream. "Some people also took the initiative to go out to the mountains to look for wild vegetables, but the county officials have been ordered to take strict precautions to protect the safety of those who pick wild vegetables and fruits......

"By the way, Shaojun, you sat in front all night last night, how is the situation in Lanting City?" The abbot of the dream said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"It's not bad, after the rain stops, not only are there many more fires on the city wall, but even many high places in the city are lit up, and I think there must be some people who return to their homes to cook on the fire to satisfy their stomachs......

"That's good, it's good that this rain doesn't last, otherwise, the people in the city would be too dangerous." The abbot of the dream let out a sigh of relief.

"But Master, this still doesn't work." After Duan Shaojun drank the porridge in the wooden bowl three times and divided five by two, he put down the wooden bowl and said. "From last night to now, the water has dropped by only two feet. And the city wall of Lanting City, nearly half of it is still soaked in water, if it is soaked for a few more days, the city wall is crisp, and the tens of thousands of people will really suffer. ”

"Isn't it, how can the walls be so strong?" Li Xuan, the prince, said with a puzzled face.

Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes helplessly, and could only explain to His Royal Highness the prince, who was pampered in the deep palace compound and didn't know the grains of the world. Dirt is not like stone, it has a fixed saturation of water absorption, below which the soil can rely on its own cohesion and will not be carried away by the water flow.

However, once a large amount of water is soaked beyond this saturation level, and there is not enough fixation, the stability of the soil will be reduced, and it will begin to slide or flow downward under the influence of gravity for various reasons.

After all, the material of the city wall of Lanting City is mud, only the outer wall is covered with a city of green bricks, and such a long time of soaking and scouring will inevitably have a great impact on the main structure of the city wall of Lanting City.

Duan Shaojun was actually in the rainy south when he was a child, and sometimes, even if it was a brick and concrete house, there would be a landslide accident due to long-term rain immersion, although he was still young at that time, and he didn't understand whether it was a problem with quality engineering.

But the problem is that even the brick and concrete houses will be collapsed by the continuous rain, not to mention the mud structures that are structurally inferior to the brick and concrete structures. Not to mention anything else, the tens of thousands of people on the city wall made Duan Shaojun have to worry about this possibility.

Next to him, the abbot of Dream, who closed his eyes and pondered, put down the bowl and said in a deep voice. "In the tenth year of Yongping in the Tang Dynasty, Huzhou suffered three consecutive days of heavy rain, more than 100 houses were destroyed in the city, and even the city wall collapsed a corner, with more than 1,700 dead and injured. In the ninth year of the abolition of the emperor, Toe Prefecture suffered from typhoons and rains, and for nine consecutive days, more than half of the cities and buildings collapsed, and more than 10,000 people were killed and injured......"

Hearing the words of the abbot of the dream, Li Xuan, who was still disapproving, couldn't help but turn pale. "Good boy, this heavy rain can really cause such a disaster."

"What do you think?" Duan Shaojun sniffed and sighed. "There is an old saying that I don't know if you have heard it, it is better to bully the mountains than to the water."

"Rather bully the mountain, don't bully the water......" The dream abbot smashed his mouth and nodded thoughtfully.

"Before noon today, we must recruit 2,000 laborers to build a raft, and in addition, Captain Hu Junwei will send your people to prepare the raft made yesterday, and before noon today, bring these disciples over to ......."

At this moment, the wooden shed was once again crowded with Lanting officials, and the only thing that was missed was that Wang Sima, which was not specially ordered by the abbot of Mengfu, but was specially explained by Senior Brother Jianyin when he asked the senior brothers to summon the officials. The abbot of the dream learned the news as early as last night, and just lightly explained a few words to the senior brother Jianyin, which was equivalent to sentencing the king Sima Shi to death on the way.

Before, the officials who had already listened to Duan Shaojun explain what soil moisture content and saturation were, had already listened attentively to the instructions of the abbot of Mengfu, for fear of missing the details.

"That's about it, let's go, before noon, the old man wants to see his disciples climb the walls of Lanting City."

Lan Ting, led by Hu Junwei, obeyed the order and left the wooden shed quickly. After a short time, the sound of cheers and noise began to resound in the camp, which was full of nearly 10,000 people. And Duan Shaojun is continuing the final pigsty password training with the seventh senior brother and the twenty-third senior brother. (To be continued......)
