Chapter 175: Criminal, You've Just Been Sunburned!
Both of them had a password sheet in their arms, as well as a shortcode decryption table. With these two gadgets, they are able to communicate a lot in the shortest possible time.
In addition, he also brought a specially customized big red pennant, Duan Shaojun, as the inventor and first user of the pigsty password, naturally used as a model to guide these two senior brothers how to play the flag and which flag to play.
Because the pigsty password is composed of the simplest dots and right-angled lines, it can be used quickly and proficiently. After practicing for about an hour and a half, Captain Hu rushed over and told the abbot of Dream that the raft was ready.
I came to a mountain recess, which is a place surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is gentle, and you can see the muddy flood swirling here, and all kinds of debris disappearing in it. And five huge rafts, which had not even been shaved off their bark, were half in the water and half leaning on the shore.
"Have you tried it?" The abbot frowned and whispered the Buddha's name.
"I've tried to carry thirty people on one of these rafts, but for safety, these five rafts will each carry twelve people, and they will be connected by thick hemp rope to prevent them from being swept away by the flood and to facilitate rescue." Lieutenant Hu replied respectfully.
"Okay, this time, I will take Jian Lin as the leader, a few of you will be careful all the way here, and when you arrive at Lanting City, take a good look at the situation, and communicate with the flag in time." The abbot walked up to the two main forces who were about to board the ship, patted the shoulders of the two and the other four disciples, and said in a serious and authentic manner.
#####
"Obey the master's orders, master, and we'll go first." After seeing Lin and the group of juniors and disciples saluting respectfully towards the abbot of Mengfu. Every two people board a raft. Soon. Under the paddle of Artemisia Chang, the raft gradually drifted off the shore, rowing with difficulty towards the northwest of Lanting City. In order to be able to circle out a solitary shape to approach Lanting City.
After Duan Shaojun and the others waited for the rafts to move away, they walked to the northernmost point of the West Mountain, standing on the West Mountain, which was only a few feet away from the flood, and watched the rafts move with difficulty. Due to the thorough preparation, and the fact that these rafters are all local soldiers who are familiar with the water, so. After making a big circle, you leaned against the outer wall of the west gate wall of Lanting City without danger.
At this time, on the West Mountain, far away from the land of Lixu, Duan Shaojun and the others could still hear the lively cheers coming from Lanting City. Even the abbot of the dream couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief from his feelings.
The abbot of Mengfu simply sat on the ground in place, waiting for news from the city, and Duan Shaojun, the flag communicator, could only squat here, and the officials wanted to stay, but they were driven away by the abbot of Mengfu, and there were too many things to do. You have to worry about how to raise food and how to keep the people from complaining. You don't have to worry about it here, a vote of officials can only flash people.
The waiting time is the longest, and Duan Shaojun, who was so idle, didn't sleep all night after putting on makeup all night yesterday, and he couldn't stand it, so he squatted behind the dream abbot's ass and took a nap.
Jianyin was worried that the sun was too hot, so he changed a few junior disciples to get some straw and wood, and hastily built a grass pavilion, which finally sheltered the scorching sun.
The abbot of the dream took the water bladder handed by Jianyin and just took a sip, when he suddenly heard a strange sound from behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Duan Shaojun lying on his back on the ground and sleeping in a big shape, and the high-profile snoring made everyone look black.
"Stinky boy!" The abbot of the dream cursed in a low voice, his eyes full of warmth.
"Senior brother must have been very tired yesterday. Master, do you want to wake up your junior brother? Jianyin shook his head with a smile and whispered in the ear of the abbot of the dream.
"Leave it up to him, it's not too late to call this kid when the signal comes from there. Save yourself from saying those weird things that don't make sense to anger the old sleeves. The abbot shook his head and began to close his eyes and lower his eyebrows and chant in a low voice.
Seeing Duan Shaojun lying on the ground with his hands and feet open and sleeping so vividly, Jianyin smiled secretly, and it could be seen that Shizun really felt sorry for this kid, so many of his junior disciples. Dare to sleep in front of him like this, but not provoke the anger of the master, I am afraid that he is the only one.
Half an hour passed, Duan Shaojun was woken up, rubbed his eyes, and began to carefully distinguish the flag words typed on the opposite side, and compared them with the shortcode table in his hand. While reporting it loudly to let everyone around him know.
The expression of the abbot of Dream became more and more gloomy. Yesterday, there were a lot of warnings before the disaster, so none of the people in the affected Rantei had drunk raw water. Although not many of the buildings in the city have been washed away, at present, two-thirds of the houses are only rooftops, and although the official warehouses are also in the city, the flood has not subsided, making it very difficult to obtain food.
In addition, most of the people of Lanting are crowded on the city wall, after yesterday's heavy rain, and experienced a night of cold and ice, now, many people have been found to have a cold, and today's sun, there are more than 100 frail old and weak women and children suffering from heat stroke.
Except for the fact that there are less than 200 families in the city who have reported missing people in their homes, the others are all bad news, one after another unfavorable news has come one after another, and the brow of the dream abbot is getting tighter and tighter. "Tell them to concentrate the wounded and the old and weak first, and strive to transfer them to Xishan within today. Jianyin, tell Hu Junwei to speed up and make the raft......"
Although I used shortcodes to communicate, the amount of information was too large, and it took half an hour to complete the exchange. Duan Shaojun wiped the sweat from the sun on his forehead and returned it under the grass pavilion, and saw the Chu Chu girl handing over the water bladder with a smile, smiling at the soft girl, picking up the water bladder and pouring it several times before feeling more comfortable. "Why are you here?"
"The lunch has been finished, I'll come over and take a look when I'm idle, how is the situation in the city?" Chu Chu, who had just seen it, saw the not-so-good expressions of the senior brothers, and asked with some concern.
"Normally, at least it's not too bad, but I'm afraid that the old and weak on the city wall can't withstand such a sun." Duan Shaojun wiped his mouth and glanced back at Lanting City. "It's a pity that the distance is too much, otherwise, we can use a raft to build a bridge."
"You mean rafts for pontoons, right?" Jianyin's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Duan Shaojun and said.
"Yes, you can't build a suspension bridge, even if we want to build a chain for a while, it's not that long." Duan Shaojun glared at Senior Brother Jianyin strangely. "I said, senior brother, don't you really want to build a bridge?"
"That might be a good idea." The senior brother here hasn't spoken yet, but the abbot over there patted his thighs and his eyes lit up.
"No, Master, shouldn't it be too hot to make you dizzy?" Duan Shaojun looked at this self-proclaimed master with a dull expression, and he was really a little speechless.
"Criminal, you've just been sunburned." The abbot wanted to praise this guy for coming up with a good idea, but his words made him almost crooked his nose, and he couldn't help but stare at the fierce triangular eyes and said angrily.
"Okay Master, even if the disciple and I are dizzy, from here to the wall of Lanting City, there must be at least one mile to come, how long do you think it will take to build a bridge?" Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes speechlessly and muttered in a low voice.
Jianyin couldn't help but snicker, and patiently explained to Duan Shaojun in his thin voice. "Senior brother, we have enough timber here, as long as there is a raft, we can start piling, a raft, a day can be made into fifty to seventy piles, this mile, there are only a thousand piles, didn't we send people to make rafts before? The average length of a raft is more than two zhang and a half, and the distance is one mile, but a hundred rafts are less than ......."
Duan Shaojun finally came back to his senses. "So, so my idea really works?"
"That's natural, or do you think that being a teacher is not like you and talking nonsense?" The dream abbot glared at this guy with disgust, this kid really didn't expect it, and he still didn't pay attention.
#####
Duan Shaojun touched his somewhat hot face, well, the sun is shining, it must be. On the side, Sister Chu Chu snickered eating, a pair of bright eyes fell on him, Duan Shaojun glared at the past, in exchange for a cute white eye from Sister Chu Chu.
After hearing the news, Captain Hu couldn't help but be overjoyed, but then he began to feel worried, not for anything else, just for food, there are more than 10,000 people here, and the food is only three or four days, if it is 40,000 or 50,000 people, then the food will only be enough for everyone to eat for one day.
Even if so many people were sent today, and more than a dozen wild boars and more than a hundred hares were hunted, it was only enough to mix it in the porridge and season it.
After all, the flood is ruthless, and it will be washed away, so that people can't react, but now, if they can't think of a good way, these tens of thousands of people are really going to have an accident, and it's a big deal.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Xu has some superficial opinions." Xu Shizong, who had been following Li Xuan's side since today, saw one by one and two frowning, and interrupted the silence in the field with two dry coughs.
Seeing a pair of stares, Xu Shizong stroked his long beard under his chin a little nervously. "Xu thinks that the most important thing for us now is to find food. Although the grain of Lanting City is soaked in the great water, it is rare to obtain. But we can look elsewhere. Xu asked some people, from Xishan to the south ninety miles, is Yun County, one hundred and fifty miles to the east is Zhang County......" (to be continued......
