Chapter 400: flash flood
??Chapter 400 Mountain torrents
??Su Ying stood on the majestic dam, looking at the mountain stream illuminated by the golden light, her mood also improved.
??Zhu Lin didn't dare to delay, so he took advantage of the fine weather to quickly repair all the parts that needed to be repaired.
??In order to speed up, Zhu Lin recruited all the craftsmen and workers he could find in Jingzhou City. For a while, the dam was full of excitement.
?? It cleared up for two consecutive days, and it happened to be the first day of the new year.
??The first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when people in the city will go out of the city to offer incense on the mountain. Because of the good weather, there are more people going to offer incense today than usual.
??On a hillside near the dam, there is a temple, which is the largest Buddhist temple in Jingzhou City. People from both inside and outside the city come here to offer incense.
??Zhu Lin said, God is beautiful, the repair work has been going very smoothly in the past few days. If there is no accident, the basic repair can be completed in these two days.
?? "This dam can still be used after being repaired, why is it abandoned?" Su Ying stood on the dam and sent out a soul torture.
In her perception, things like dikes and dams have been around for hundreds of years, not to mention decades. This is not a small house that can be built with little effort. I don't know how long it has been built. Now that such a problem has occurred, I really don't know how much manpower, material and financial resources the country has lost. Yi Kun's beasts are not enough to die even if they are skinned alive.
Zhu Lin frowned. After learning about the situation at the old dam, he also had such doubts in his heart. The old dam is obviously still usable. Under such circumstances, building a new dam is not a waste of time and money. " Prime Minister Su proposed to build this new dam back then, and later the emperor sent people to Jingzhou City to check the situation. Those people came to the same conclusion that the old dam might not last long, and a new dam must be built. Otherwise, Jingzhou will be in danger."
??Su Ying lowered her eyebrows, the old man Su Yulun actually brought up this lack of virtue, but now is not the time to find out whether the old man has benefited from it, let's talk about repairing the dam first.
?? "Go ahead, I'll go upstream to have a look."
?? "Your Majesty must be careful."
??Su Ying nodded. She wanted to understand the upstream environment, and also wanted to see what the water level of the floods in previous years might be. After learning about it, she would see if some improvements could be made to the old dam.
?? After a simple explanation, Su Ying walked upstream with two hidden guards.
?? I have to say that the scenery along the river is really beautiful. If it weren't for the task now, Su Ying would really like to find a place to stay and hunt.
??The three of them walked to the foot of a mountain, and the dark guard found another trace of being wet on the stone beside the mountain with sharp eyes.
?? "My lady, the water level in previous years should be able to reach there. Judging from the traces, this should be a relatively common trace. If you look up, the traces are shallower. It should not be the traces of last year or recent years."
??Su Ying climbed up to have a look, stretched out his hand to touch the rocks, and could judge whether the words of the dark guard were correct or not by the degree of moisture of the rocks.
?? "Let's walk from above to avoid accidents."
??Many flash floods do not have any warning before, and it is safer to go to the warning water level of previous years.
??The three climbed up and ran up, and soon climbed above the warning water level.
??Su Ying took out the binoculars to observe the surrounding situation, and saw a yellow current rushing towards this direction in the distance.
??Su Ying was startled, and magnified the binoculars. This time, she confirmed that she saw the mountain torrent.
?? Judging from the route of the mountain torrent, it is in their direction, and the mountain torrent is getting bigger and faster.
?? "The flash flood is coming, hurry up, go back quickly! Come on!"
??The dark guard saw the change in Su Ying's face, and quickly turned around and ran away. Su Ying also ran towards the dam without looking back.
??Because it is too far away, she is not sure how powerful the flash floods are. The old dam can withstand such impact without complete repair.
??Su Ying almost flew back to the dam.
?? "Zhu Lin, the mountain torrent is rushing down, you all have to move faster."
?? Zhu Lin suddenly heard Su Ying's shout and was startled.
??He ran over uncertainly and said: "What did you say, the mountain torrent is about to rush down? But how can there be a mountain torrent when the weather is sunny these days?"
Su Ying's face has never been more serious, "The mountain torrent is different from the general flood, even if it does not rain, it may erupt, so the people on the dam should move faster, and everyone must be cleared before the mountain torrent washes down." Evacuate, send people along the downstream to disperse the crowd that may exist, move quickly, hurry up!"
??Zhu Lin didn't dare to delay, so he quickly turned around and sent the two with the fastest legs to run downstream.
"Damn it, today is the first day of the new year. There are quite a few people who go to the temple to offer incense. After offering incense, those people will go to the lower reaches of the river to play. Don't go today!" The little official on the side listened. Seeing the conversation between Su Ying and Zhu Lin, his face turned pale. If the dam cannot stop the torrent, let alone those people, they will all die!
??Now I can only pray that the mountain torrents will not be too big, and the dam will be fine.
?? "Go, go and disperse the crowd first."
??Su Ying took out the binoculars and stood up to see where the mountain torrent was. Her expression became even darker when she saw it.
?? "Come up, get everyone on the dam up."
??Zhu Lin immediately ordered the workers and craftsmen to leave the dam and go to a safe place.
?? But when they came up, a gap suddenly opened in the middle of the dam.
??Zhu Lin's face changed dramatically when he saw it. It was the most important beam. If something went wrong, the dam would have a big gap. It's hard to say whether it can withstand the flood.
?? "Damn it, why did it break there! Go, go and get me the rope, I'm going down to repair it, all of you go to the side." Zhu Lin turned his head and ran away after shouting.
??Su Ying watched as the cracked beam became tense.
??The materials they are currently using to repair will not be effective in this short period of time. Su Ying suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned away from the crowd and entered the space.
She was looking for something on the rows of shelves, but she still couldn't find it after searching around. With a low curse, she looked up and saw two transparent covers. This kind of glue sucker has a strong adhesive force after opening. In the past, they used it to repair bases destroyed by zombies.
?? It's not that she didn't think of using this thing before, but it's limited, and she intends to use it where it's needed most. From the looks of it, it's time for it to play.
??Su Ying took the glue suction cup out of the space, at this time Zhu Lin had already gone down the dam with a rope.
??Suddenly, there was a trembling sound from under their feet, and when everyone looked up, they saw a monstrous mountain torrent rushing towards them.
