Chapter 37 Wheat straw is used to rehydrate the dam, and the water is turbulent and difficult to repair
"No more bags?"
The whole person was stunned for a moment, Xiao Xing looked at the torrent that overflowed the embankment and was still flowing towards the ground with panic in his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If there were no sacks, what would they do to fill the collapsed dam?
Ma Yundong lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes." There are no sacks. "The ground was full of rainwater from the reservoir, which spread over the muddy road, pooled in the puddles of water that were deep and shallow, filled and continued to rise, and now it was ankle-deep.
"So what are we going to do? Are we just going to watch the flood spread?"
whispered, Xiao Xing's dark eyes were already full of anger.
If they couldn't stop the flood from flooding Luzhou City with all these efforts, wouldn't their efforts here be wasted?
A soldier of the Red Phoenix Army next to him took off his clothes and wrapped him in a lump of mud to fill it in, but after seeing that he no longer had half of his clothes, he couldn't help but open his mouth and scolded angrily: "Damn, are we just silently watching the flood overflow the embankment?"
A flash of thunder flashed and shone on most of the people who were busy here.
Because they were always in the rainstorm, their thin clothes had already been completely wet, sticky and sticky to their bodies, which made people extremely uncomfortable. So they have long since taken off their clothes and are working here bare-armed.
Even if you use clothes that you don't need as a blockage, how much can you fill?
For a moment, everyone was depressed, and stood still, letting the torrential rain fall, and even their exuberant energy was washed away, and they were no longer united as before.
There was a "boom", and another bolt of lightning slashed out.
The daylight shone on the pale faces of all.
Standing still, Xiao Xing looked at the people who had come with her with full of anticipation, from the original team of only hundreds of people, to the rest of the people who came to help later, there were thousands of people in front of him.
It was thanks to these people that the collapsed dam was temporarily stopped.
But at this moment, the missing sack was like a mist covering his heart, making Xiao Xing heavy, his mind was messy, and he didn't know what to look for.
However, at this time, she saw the thatch that still insisted on growing in the face of heavy rain not far away, and suddenly remembered something, and immediately shouted: "By the way, there is also wheat straw." We can use wheat straw. ”
If the sack is available, it will not be possible to transport it here in a short period of time, even if it is available elsewhere.
But if it is Sister Mai, then the reserves of the entire Luzhou City are still quite rich. After all, after an autumn harvest, the wheat straw with the ears off is piled on the farm, and piled up into stacks of grass that are more than a foot high, which are used as fuel for cooking and cooking in the future.
With so much wheat straw, it will definitely be able to completely block the flood.
"Wheat straw?"
"That's right. Make straw into straw mats, pile dirt on top of them, and roll them up to make straw mats. In this way, it can be regarded as a flood. ”
At this point, all these people in front of them suddenly came to their senses, and they all got up and went back to their farmers to transport the wheat straw that had been cut. They came from farming backgrounds and naturally knew the many uses of the straw.
Regardless of whether it is used as a material for cooking rice and pots in daily life, even if it is a mud house used for accommodation in the countryside, wheat straw is mixed with it as a strengthening material.
If it is according to Xiao Xing's words, then wheat straw can naturally be used.
Soon, a group of men and horses came out of the place to bring all the haystacks that had been piled up among the farmers, and bunches of wheat straw were laid on the ground and piled into the dirt, while another team tied them up with ropes such as twine, and tied them to death. In order to prevent these mud mats from being washed away, they also tied several mats together to make a straw mat that was a full man's height and the size of a grinding plate, and then Ma Yundong led people to carry it to the breach, and then threw it into it.
The heavy straw binds the soil tightly, and the stickiness of the soil also holds the straw together, even if it is bathed in the impact of a huge flood, it still stands.
The collapsed levee shrank again, and the floods, which once threatened the entire city of Luzhou, finally began to be brought under control.
Rejuvenated its spirit, thousands of people here worked together to transport all the wheat straw in Luzhou City and make straw mats, if Luzhou City is gone, go to the surrounding farms, if there are no farms around, they will order the nearby towns to work together, transport sacks and wheat straw, all efforts are to stop the dam collapse, and continue to widen and raise the embankment to prevent the flood that has spread to the mouth of the embankment, and once again the entire dam and the Luzhou City behind it, also collapse。
After solving the problem of the materials that blocked the dam, Xiao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, began to carefully observe the dam, and mobilized the people to repair the collapsed dams.
Soon, she discovered that the inlet of the Zhangze Reservoir was also the junction of mountains and plains.
This is the junction of two mountain peaks, and the Turbidity River flows out of the ravine, and during heavy rainfall, the water from the river will rush out of the river and pour into the territory of Luzhou along the gap between the peaks.
So when the dam was built that day, Xiao Feng also built a dam about 50 meters here.
The mouth of the collapsed dam is small, about five meters long, but because it is a key point in the course of the river change, the impact is quite large.
The reason why they chose to build a dam here in the first place was to divert the direction of the river so that it could turn into a nearby river channel instead of impacting the entire city of Luzhou.
Unfortunately, the clay could not hold the large stone in place, so after being hit by the river, it collapsed quickly and did not have the slightest effect.
And in the face of such a powerful impact, even if you use grass rolling mud, you can't support it.
"Is this all there is left?"
Xiao Xing asked.
"That's right. The rest have all been repaired and are still being reinforced. It's just that the water here is too complicated and we can't do anything about it. Shaking his head, Ma Yundong replied.
In order to be able to block the dam, he tried his best, but unfortunately no matter what method he used, including increasing the amount of grass and mud and throwing large stones into it, he had no choice but to let the river break through the embankment and fall on the plain, submerging all the farmland along the road, and even spreading towards Luzhou City.
If the dam cannot be blocked, the entire Zhangze Reservoir will not be able to perform its basic functions and will not be able to survive the flood.
Looking at the rushing flood, several people pondered.
At this moment, a group of people came not far away, there were about hundreds of people, and the first person was Zhao Chen, whom she was familiar with.
Xiao Feng was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"
"When the lord heard about the situation here, he sent me overnight to lead hundreds of Chinese priests to help you. After all, this flood is very serious, and if it cannot be stopped, it will cause a lot of people to suffer. Zhao Chen smiled, then saw a few people frowning, and immediately asked, "By the way, have you encountered any situation?"
"Yes. The dam had collapsed, so I didn't know what to do to fix it. ”
Pointing to the mouth that was still pouring floodwater, Xiao Xing's face was full of distress.
With her current strength, she wants to block this flood, but she really has more than enough heart and strength, even if her master Xiao Feng comes here, I am afraid that she is also helpless.
There is no way, if Xiao Feng's pure glazed flame is aimed at people, it is naturally invincible, but if it is about destructive power and defensive power, it is really not comparable to the Xuanmen Thunder Channeling Method, and it is not comparable to the divine power of the Dharma Protector of the Liberation Sect.
"It doesn't matter. I don't believe it, we people can't solve the problem at hand? You better rest for a while, don't tire yourself out. With a smile, Zhao Chen handed over an umbrella in his hand, so that Xiao Xing would no longer be eroded by those wind and rain.
In order to facilitate his work, Xiao Xing kept an eye on the wind and rain and stayed on the front line.
After all, she is not one of those men, so it is impossible for her to take off her clothes, and Zhenyuan also consumes very little when she helps carry things, and she can't resist the erosion of wind and rain at all, so that the blue official mansion on her body has already been wet, not only does it not have the majesty it used to be, but it even looks embarrassed because it is stained with muddy water, and although the clothes that cling to the skin cover the body that is not very delicate, but it also reveals the thin shoulders.
It's amazing how the skinny woman in front of her did these things!
"Thanks, uncle!"
Taking the umbrella, Xiao Xing walked towards the collapsed dam with a few people as if he didn't know.
Because of the rain in the past few days and the flood of the reservoir, the whole ground is muddy, and the rocks are quite slippery, if you are not careful, you may fall to the ground at any time.
Fortunately, this place is full of martial artists who have achieved cultivation, and if you are careful, you can still walk through.
Soon, the group came to the edge of the cliff and looked at the waterway that was pouring flood below.
"Can't you block it with a big rock?" said a man looking at the rushing river.
His name was Li Zhi, and when he was young, his parents were swept into the flood and died, so that they were forced to fall into the city of Luzhou, and lived by working as a small servant for the rich family. Later, because of the arrival of the Red Phoenix Army, the rich family directly abandoned the family property here and fled, and in order to survive, he joined the Red Phoenix Army, and relied on the little things he learned from those big families to be a small servant, and made some famous names in the Red Phoenix Army.
Now looking at the raging flood, the scene of the destruction of the flood in his mind came to mind again.
Xiao Xing shook his head and explained, "No! The flood is so powerful that if you want to block it, you need a boulder that is more than a few feet long and weighs 10,000 catties." But it's a mountain road, and it's rough and bumpy. It's already difficult to walk, so how can you transport it?"
There is no other reason, and it is precisely because of this that Xiao Xing and others have never been able to repair the reservoir. (To be continued.) )
