C71 (1/2)

The rain continued to fall.

It's never sunny. After a few days, people's worries still happened.

”No, no, ma'am, it's broken.”

Shen Jingli was playing with a cloth ball when Li Qi ran in flustered. He looked flustered, with rain behind him and his hair dripping wet on both sides.

”Fourteen?”

”The master went to the gate of the city for inspection.” Li Qi gasped and sat on the chair beside him, carrying water to drink. ”The second master took Chen Jian to help. Ma'am, is the flood going to flood the whole city?

”It depends on the circumstances. ”Natural disasters are unpredictable, and he can't guarantee anything.

Shen Jingli bowed his head and teased the child. The little guy did not know what happened outside. He was very happy holding the cloth ball. Occasionally he thought of Shen Jingli, he reached out to him for a hug. He also called out cleverly, ”armywood hug.”

He touched the face of the little guy. He thought he was playing with him, so he stretched out his little white hand to grab his hand. When he caught it, he laughed happily.

After the dam broke, the water level rose rapidly and spread to the low-lying areas like thousands of horses galloping. Soon, all the fields near the river were covered by the river, followed by the nearby farmhouses, one by one houses. Finally, only a roof appeared, and the fields and roads below were completely invisible.

The flood is ferocious. It devours what it meets, the people who have no time to take refuge, the poultry that is too late to take away, and all kinds of pots and pans. The flood comes to the Fucheng city. When it meets the masonry wall, it is washed away. The water level rises inch by inch, and it slows down when it reaches the half wall height, which makes people feel a little relieved.

Magistrate Liu walked around the house impatiently, his hair was almost gray.

The rain was getting smaller, but it was still falling. The smell of rain mixed with a smell of mud, lingering for a long time.

”The water is coming, the water is coming, the big water, we are going to be washed away

”Woo, woo, woo Sobbing We're going to drown. Help, I don't want to die yet... ”

”We can't escape. The flood will submerge the whole city, and we will all be drowned.”

”Mom, Dad, I don't want to die. Come and take me home In the front yard, Liu Zhifu's head was white, but his backyard was like a fire. People kept picking on things, spreading news of the flood, and wantonly exaggerating it, causing panic among the people. Everyone in the house was thinking about how to escape.

Liu Zhifu's wife, Han Shi, hastily packed up her private house, and quietly went to the warehouse to take some good things. She hid the burden nervously, and then went to the front yard with a heavy step.

Magistrate Liu has been in the hall for dozens of times. Now, he is like an ant on a hot pot. He is anxious to turn around in groups. At first, King Jing inspected the canal dam. He cleared up the evidence of his corruption at the first time, and found several trusted water conservancy masters to deceive him. But now that the heavy rain has broken the dam, King Jing will definitely investigate this matter again. So, he is corrupt The situation must not be covered up. In addition, he did nothing in this flood, and his black hat may not be able to keep.

”Master, what's going on outside? Is this flood really going to flood the whole river city? ” Han's face was haggard, and her eyes were uneasy. She walked in with the help of her servant girl

she had lived for so many years, but she had never encountered such a disaster. Her heart simply could not bear it. Looking at the equally gaunt magistrate Liu, she felt more panic.

”How do I know what's going on?” All the officers and soldiers in the city were sent away by King Jing, and no one came to report to him what was going on. Now he was caught in the dark and could not make out what was going on.

Being scolded by magistrate Liu for a while, Han felt a little aggrieved, but she did not dare to show it. She had to stand aside with a white face.

”Ah

A scream came from the backyard. Magistrate Liu's face was dark, he shook his sleeves and walked towards the backyard.

The backyard was a mess, and all the aunts, maids and wives were walking around. Some screamed, some cried, some wanted to run, some sat on the ground with their legs paralyzed with fear.

the magistrate Liu couldn't help but feel up at the scene. ”Come on

he yelled to stop the panic of the people. They looked around in panic and focused their eyes on him, feeling that he was more terrible than the flood.
