Luo Ze was surprised that Pu Li would ask him this question, but when he thought that this was a live broadcast, he felt relieved and then thought about this question seriously.
Seeing him thinking, Pu Li said to the audience, "Everyone can express their opinions."
[Controlling floods is not that simple. Simply dredge the river and divert the floodwaters.]
In ancient times, there weren’t many good tools, so people probably didn’t even know how long and how wide the Yellow River was.
[Life in ancient times must have been a bit too difficult!]
[If we were to encounter such a flood now, we wouldn't have to worry at all. But the ancients had nothing. What would they do in the face of such a disaster?]
[The previous section mentioned dredging the river and then diverting the water. Who would have thought of doing this back then? They probably didn't understand the knowledge.]
[My head is a bit overwhelmed. Natural disasters are so scary.]
After watching this anime, I once again lamented that life is so difficult.
[It was really difficult. If I were in that period, I would have been drowned by the flood.]
[Ahhh! Their health is too low, they can't escape even like this.]
[It’s too difficult. I can’t think of a solution.]
…
Luo Ze was also watching the comments and shared his opinion after seeing the discussion. "The ancients had nothing and didn't know many things. So, it's not practical for us to look at things from today's perspective. Li Zi, you should show everyone how the ancients overcame such a natural disaster."
"Brother Luo is right. We can't use our current thinking to look at things in the past. So let's take a look at how this rabbit named Gun controlled the flood."
Narrator: Guntu was a skilled architect, and he built the famous city walls of his time. After receiving a commission from Emperor Yao, he led his men and the Tu people to control the Yellow River using the "water barrier" method of building embankments along the banks. However, as time passed, the water level continued to rise. He spent nine years controlling the floods, but disasters continued. Furthermore, Guntu slacked off, treating this arduous task of state lightly. Ultimately, he was exiled to Yushan by the newly appointed Emperor Shunlong, where he died.
Narrator: Emperor Shunlong also came to seek the opinions of his ministers to see who could control the flood. In the end, everyone unanimously recommended Yu.
Narrator: Yu was a white dragon, the son of Gun and the Rabbit. Despite being Gun and the Rabbit's son, his virtue and abilities far surpassed his father's. He was humble and courteous, diligent in his work, and lived a very simple life.
Narrator: Emperor Shunlong did not look down on him just because he was the son of Guntu, but quickly gave him the important task of controlling the flood.
Narrator: Yulong was a very virtuous dragon. He did not feel jealous of Emperor Shunlong for punishing his father, but gladly accepted the task.
He also secretly made a resolution: "My father brought suffering to the people of Tu because he failed to control the flood. I must work hard and make it go away."
Narrator: Yulong had been married only four days. His wife, Tushan, a virtuous woman, agreed to his journey. Yulong bid farewell to his beloved wife in tears. He then embarked on his journey with two wise ministers, Boyi and Houji, sent by the God Shunlong.
Narrator: They trekked through mountains and rivers, sleeping in the open air, and traveled through the vast expanse of the Central Plains, leaving their footprints in remote and inaccessible places. Along the way, he saw countless rabbits struggling in the floods, and he shed tears in front of these displaced people time and again.
