Volume 8 Vertical and Horizontal Chapter 590 The Ground Sinks
Before the meal, Hu Wei took Ouyang Shuixian back to Shuaifu. Ouyang Shuixian was still a little unhappy, but Hu Wei couldn't let her temperament go. He is a little girl, he can ignore it, but Hu Wei can't learn from her.
Although he didn't notify Momiji directly, Momiji must have already known that he had returned to Langtian, and it was okay to play with Ouyang Shuixian for a long time, and it would be his fault to mess around again.
is similar to Hu Wei, and the Shuai Mansion is already very lively. Red leaves, Ouyang Yufeng, and Huang Jinfeng have all returned, and they are drinking tea in the living room, and from time to time, they yearn for a few glances. Obviously, they are all waiting for Hu to worry.
"Look, I'll just say they're waiting. Hu Wei whispered in Ouyang Shuixian's ear.
Ouyang Narcissus pouted, muttering and not knowing what to say.
"It's back. Seeing Hu Wei, the red leaves greeted him at once, and his face was full of joy.
Ximen Yufeng, Jinfeng and all the beauties of all sizes also greeted them, and the momentum was really a bit like welcoming the emperor back to the palace.
The wine and food himself had already been prepared, and Hu Yougao sat on the main seat, enjoying the food carefully prepared by Fuchen, while telling everyone what happened in the Chihe Empire this time.
In fact, the plague incident in the Chihe River, Langtian will receive the latest news every day. They don't necessarily know less than they worry. But without exception, they all like to listen to Hu Wei's story. To understand the whole incident through the mouth of Guò is much more interesting than those cold words.
The content of Ouyang Hanbing's letter, Hu Wei did not say it for the time being. This matter, he privately has to learn some more information from Momiji before he can make a decision. This time I went to Chihe for a few months, and I couldn't just come back without a day, so I immediately said that I would go to Ningnan again.
While everyone was gathering together and enjoying themselves, the figure of a soldier hurriedly running in temporarily interrupted the atmosphere of the hall.
"Newspaper"
The soldier's face was full of anxiety, but he still remembered the rules. After several years of development, the Immortal Bird Legion has a certain amount of precipitation, a little more calm, and a little less impetuous.
"Come in. ”
Hu Wei's expression was a little more stern. The soldiers are very knowledgeable about the rules, and there is also a division of labor at all levels, at this time, it is not a big matter, and they will not directly bother Hu Wei.
The soldier saluted on one knee and reported: "Report to the young marshal, the east of the city has subsided, nearly 100 families have been affected, a miner regiment has gone to the rescue, the current situation is unknown, the old surname in Dongcheng District is very panicked, please make a decision." ”
Subsidence?
Hu Wei's eyes looked at the red leaves, Langtian had never happened to him before. According to the tone of the soldier, this is not the first time.
Momiji frowned and explained, "In the past few months, it has happened a few times, but the scale is not very large, so I didn't report it to you." ”
Worried nodded. Since Momiji already knew about it, it wasn't a management problem. As the master of the Immortal Bird Legion, it is impossible for Hu Wei to take care of all the big and small things. However, this time, more than 100 households were affected by the disaster, but Hu Wei couldn't help but take a look.
The banquet ended hastily, and Hu Wei and Hongye rushed to the scene together. Along the way, Hu Wei also learned about the previous situation from Hongye, according to Hongye, a few times ago, only a hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and no one was injured.
Before the scene, you could see the torches dancing from a distance, and from time to time there was a shouting sound, which was the soldiers working together to remove the earth and stones that were pressing the victims.
When you get closer, you can see a big crater, roughly the size of two football fields. The situation of the subsidence was better than Hu Wei expected, only about three meters down. However, only these three meters have caused all the houses of hundreds of families to collapse, and many people have been crushed under the rubble of the collapsed house beams, and all kinds of cries and shouts have come up from the pit from time to time, and they can be heard that they are all panicking.
The soldier didn't stop his work because of Hu Wei's arrival. Although the Immortal Bird Legion has not been established for a long time, the military discipline is strict, and they will not do this kind of bullshit.
Soldiers work in small teams, groups of ten or twenty, and cooperate with each other to save people. There will be no large machinery, and many soldiers don't even have gloves, so they use their hands to plan. Temporary field hospitals have also been set up, and whenever someone is rescued, the medical staff on the side will immediately pick up the wounded and provide first aid on the spot.
The scene was busy but not chaotic, which made Hu Wei feel very satisfied, and it seemed that the emergency measures of the legion were still good.
"Young marshal. Chen Dali saw Hu Wei and hurriedly greeted him. He was the head of the miners' regiment and the first senior officer of the legion to arrive. ,
"How's it going?" Hu Wei asked. It is not a trivial matter that hundreds of people are affected by the disaster, and if it is not handled well, it is likely to cause panic.
Chen Dali reported: "Not very optimistic. This time the subsidence was much larger than before, and it was so sudden that many people were buried before they could figure out what was going on. ”
"In any case, do your best to save people," Hu Wei said affirmatively.
"Don't worry, young marshal, I know how to do it. Chen Dali was also born as a civilian, and he can understand Hu Wei's mood. The common people are the most vulnerable group again, and this sudden disaster from the sky is a disaster for them. If the military doesn't help them, then there is no one to help them.
Hu Wei is not like those officials on world TV in the past, who would go to the disaster area to take a few looks, put on a show and don't care. Without disturbing Chen Dali's command of the disaster relief, he found a few senior miners and local residents to understand the situation as much as possible.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to understand the situation, everyone feel free. Sit it all down. Hu Wei comforted a few people who knew his identity, and all of them were stunned, and asked straight to the point: "The matter is urgent, so I won't be polite." Several people who have some experience in this area know that I want to know what factors will cause this subsidence, and whether there is a possibility of recurrence. ”
After a little silence, a tall man said: "I have seen this situation in other places before, and according to the local elders, it has a certain relationship with groundwater." ”
Hu Wei's eyes lit up, groundwater would cause subsidence, and he had heard of it in the previous world. He didn't say it right away, he wanted to hear what was going on. The tall man's answer had several similarities with the conjecture in his mind.
"What's your name, what are you doing?" asked Hu Wei.
"Back to the young marshal, the villain's name is peace, and he has worked in the mine before. ”
"Well, do you have any basis or discovery that you said that this matter is related to groundwater? Do the residents of this area have the habit of using a lot of groundwater?"
Hu Wei inquired in detail about the relevant information, and the atmosphere at the scene also slowly relaxed from the initial tension. Everyone sees that Hu Wei is sincerely concerned about the problem, and most of them dare to speak their minds freely.
Hu Wei was at the scene until late at night, and then went back to the Shuai Mansion. The situation in the disaster area and the summary of the data collected made Hu Wei's heart heavy. Due to the poor means of ambulance, by the time Hu Wei left, more than 20 bodies had been found, most of them elderly and children. What worries Hu Wei even more is that this subsidence may be just the beginning, and it is likely that even greater subsidence will break out later.
Back at the Shuaifu, Hu Wei did not rest immediately, but called an emergency meeting of the legion. The high-ranking generals of the Immortal Bird Legion all lined up for the meeting. Analyze all aspects of the situation. In the end, Hu Wei instructed the commanders of the troops at all levels to strengthen the control of all units, and that no matter what problems arise, the army must not be disordered.
"It's almost dawn, so let's get some rest. Momiji sat next to Hu Wei and said softly.
Hu Wei nodded, put down the text in his hand, pulled the red leaves and said, "During this time, you have worked very hard." ”
"I don't have anything, now that the Legion is on track, most of the things are being done by the people below. ”
"You'll never ask me for credit. Hu Wei stroked Momiji's long hair. Momiji's face was also a little tired, her work was not as easy as she said.
"By the way, let me ask you something. Hu Wei suddenly remembered Ouyang Hanbing's letter, he had already wanted to find a chance to ask Hongye before, but he was disrupted by the question of subsidence.
"Huh?" Momiji, who was changing Hu Wei's clothes, stopped what he was doing.
After Hu Wei told Hongye about Ouyang Hanbing's letter, he asked, "Do you know what has happened to the Ningnan Empire recently?" ”
Momiji shook his head a little dazedly and said, "It seems that I haven't received any news, otherwise I would definitely know." ”
The relationship between Ouyang Hanbing and Hu Wei was not ordinary, and the exchanges between the Immortal Bird Legion and Ningnan were naturally close. When Momiji was managing the affairs of the mandala, he would naturally also pay attention to the problems of the Ningnan Empire.
Now the burden on Hongye's shoulders is not light, in the past, she was only managing the affairs of Langtian and the surrounding areas of Langtian, but since Qin Ming and Renata's troops were merged into the Immortal Bird Legion, now the entire Mandala Empire is basically managed by Hongye. Don't look at her soft and weak in front of Hu Wei, but she has already been given the title of Iron Lady outside. And the team she controls is also an elite gathering, and now even Wu Xuewen has been temporarily transferred to her command. ,
"Let the people below pay attention, Bing'er usually doesn't send me this kind of letter, I'm afraid she will run into some trouble. The damn thing is that now I can't leave Langtian's side. Hu Wei sighed and said. The Mandala Empire is Red Leaves, and the Ningnan Empire is Ouyang Hanbing, and it seems that they are all women doing things.
Hu Wei woke up after only four hours of sleep, and he had something in his heart, and he really couldn't sleep well. When I opened my eyes, the red leaves were no longer there, and there was still her faint body fragrance on the pillow.
"Young master, you're up. Na Yue, who was guarding the bedside, saw Hu Wei sit up, and hurriedly came over with hot water to wash Hu Wei's face.
I haven't seen her for a few months, and Napon has not changed much, and she is still beautiful and lovely.
"Next time, you don't have to guard me like this, it's tiring. Hu Wei said as he took the towel.
Na Yue nodded lightly, smiling and not answering. It seems that she will probably not listen to Hu Wei's words. Her job is to serve Hu Wei to wash her face and get dressed, which may not be able to be done by her. How could she not keep it.
Glancing at Na Yue, Hu Wei couldn't help but shake his head. The four sisters are all very talented people. But he doesn't like to participate in management, but prefers to serve him and be his maid, which is a bit overkill.
The sun, the moon, the stars, and Fuchen are all like this, usually when Hu is not there, they will follow the red leaves and help the red leaves deal with some things. Once Hu Wei returns, they will stay by Hu Wei's side and no longer care about other things. Hu Wei once mentioned that they didn't need to be like this, but these four sisters listened to Hu Wei for everything, and they refused to say anything about this point. Hu Wei really can't do anything about them.
After eating the breakfast made by Fuchen, Hu Wei took Jebe and left the Shuaifu, and he wanted to go to the east of the city to see the situation there. When I went there yesterday, it was already dark and I couldn't see a lot of things.
Walking on the road, Hu Wei habitually observes the pedestrians coming and going. After looking at it for a while, Hu Wei's brows furrowed. He noticed that the streets on the street were different from the ones he had seen yesterday. I don't know how to describe it, but I always feel that the expression on their faces is weird.
"Jebel, find a teahouse with a lot of people and sit down. Hu Wei said to Jebel. Inquire about the news, the best place is the restaurant inn, now the time is still on, most of the restaurants have no customers, the teahouse is naturally the first choice.
Although Jebel was a little strange why Hu Wei had just had breakfast and wanted to go to the teahouse again, she would not stop Hu Wei. Jebe is very similar to Momiji, that is, he listens to Hu Wei unconditionally, and in many cases, what Hu Wei says, they will do whatever they do, and they will not oppose it or discount it.
Coming out of the teahouse, Hu Wei's face was a little unpleasant. Seeing the expressions of pedestrians on the road before, he had already guessed some questions. Entering the teahouse and sitting down confirmed what he thought.
The incident of last night's sinking has become the focus of everyone's discussion. The casualties of subsidence are actually not very heavy, and they are far less than a small war. But its influence is huge.
The sky is falling, this is a word that represents a great disaster. The psychological impact of the subsidence in the east of the city on the people is far greater than the subsidence itself. Add to that the incitement of people with ulterior motives, and that's a big problem.
The generation power of the Heavenly Wind Continent is relatively low, and there is almost no scientific knowledge. Compared with the reason for groundwater, those legends of gods and ghosts are easier to convince the common people and easier to be used.
Don't be careful.
Rescue efforts continue at the scene, and the number of injured and dead is increasing. Hu Wei only glanced at the scene a few times before leaving. The officers and soldiers and the medical staff have already done a good job, and there is no need for him to give any guidance. What kind of lecture and the like, it's even more bullshit.
"Jebel, go get me that black face. After finding a place to sit down, Hu Wei instructed Jebel beside him. Compared with disaster relief, it is more urgent to prevent the occurrence of greater disasters. This subsidence has already caused uneasiness among the people, and if there is a bigger subsidence, the waves may be chaotic. This is also the reason why Hu Wei did not dare to leave Langtian. Together, it's not easy to suppress it.
Jebe was also by Hu Wei's side yesterday, and she knew that the black face in Hu Wei's mouth was the person who had subsided because of the abuse of groundwater. Answered, and hurried out to find someone.
Looking for a job, of course, you don't need to go to Jebe personally, as long as you give an explanation, there will naturally be people below to do things.
After a while, peace came to Hu Wei's side. Hu Wei actually remembered his name, but it was easier to remember and more like blackface. ,
"Young marshal. "Peace gave Hu Wei a salute, yesterday it was a little dark, I couldn't see it very clearly, today I looked at it again through the light, and Peace found that Hu Wei was younger than he looked like.
"Master Peace doesn't need to be polite, it is said that I should call you Uncle He. Hu Wei looked a little nervous and smiled.
Although Heping is in his fifties this year, he does not dare to act as an elder in front of Hu Wei. The dignity of human beings is first of all the difference between status and then age. The difference in status is too great, and the old man has to kneel for the child, which is not normal in the animal kingdom, but in human society, this is a thing that everyone recognizes.
Human beings are a kind of animals, but human beings often do not admit that they are animals, and they really can't say it, so they have to add the word 'advanced' in front of animals to show the difference.
Heping said a few 'don't dare' again and again, and then sat down cautiously.
"Master Peace hasn't slept all night, so you should pay more attention to rest in the future. Hu Wei motioned to Zhebei to pour tea, and then began to talk to Heping.
A simple sentence suddenly made Heping feel the acquaintance, and said with a little excitement: "Young Marshal Lao is concerned, I will definitely pay attention to my body in the future." The young marshal came to me this time, probably because of last night. ”
"After the young marshal left last night, I went to check a few more places and found something. ”
"Oh, also about groundwater?" asked Hu Wei.
"Yes, I wonder if the young marshal can go with me to have a look? Heping hesitated, but still said what was in his heart.
I don't even want to worry about it.
Peace brought Hu Wei to a river, Hu Wei looked at the aspect that Peace pointed out for a while, but found no problem, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Master Peace, does this river have anything to do with groundwater?"
After all, Hu Wei is not a professional, although he knows that the problem of subsidence is related to groundwater, but that's all.
Heping saw that Hu Wei didn't see the problem, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and he didn't sell it, so he quickly explained: "The relationship between the river and the groundwater itself is not big. It's just that I accidentally discovered that there is a large amount of groundwater flowing into the river in this place. ”
After Heping said this, Hu Wei looked at the past and found a problem. In the place where Heping was referring to, the current was obviously fast and rapid, and Hu Wei thought it was a backwater bay before, but now it seems that it was caused by a large amount of groundwater flowing out.
