Just as the group was preparing to take their positions, Deputy General Cao came in from outside and said, "My Lord, General, something bad has happened."
"What's wrong?" Fu Yanting turned around and asked him.
Deputy General Cao said slowly: "I just heard from the new victims that there is a flood in the south?"
Lord Fu thought he had heard wrongly, "There are disasters everywhere right now, where does the flood come from?"
Deputy General Cao said solemnly: "Half a month ago, heavy rains began to fall in the south. They lasted for half a month. All the trees had died due to drought. The mountains turned into landslides under the impact of the heavy rains."
"The landslides into the river raised the riverbed too high, and the rainwater in the river surged, turning a large area of the countryside into a river."
Lord Fu was shocked. "What about the local victims?"
Vice Admiral Cao sighed, "We originally thought that with the water, the drought would be over, but before we could be happy for a few days, we were all buried in the water."
After hearing this, Lord Fu sighed deeply.
Chu Chenyin was listening at the side and could probably imagine how severe this flood was.
After this flood, several large and deep inland lakes appeared.
In the modern times when she lived, several traces of human habitation were found under the deep lakes.
Deputy General Cao continued, "Now that the flood has stopped, many of our villagers heard that there is water there and want to move to the south."
After hearing this, Lord Fu waved his hand and said, "If they want to go, they can go."
Madam Fu raised her eyes and said, "Hasn't the flood stopped now? Should we move to the south as well?"
Fu Xingcheng strode over and said, "Yes, should we go to the south? I heard that the south is a land of fish and rice, which should be much better than the northern desert."
After hearing this, Lord Fu hesitated.
Chu Chenyin decisively refused and said, "Dad and Mom, we already have water and land here, so don't move any further. The south is good, but the floods have just stopped, and there is no guarantee that there will be another flood in the future."
Lord Fu thought it was right, "Let's not do anything for now and wait and see."
The others thought about it and felt that what Chu Chenyin said was right, so they all agreed.
Although the flood stopped after half a month, an ice disaster occurred immediately after the flood. The ice lasted for three years. After three years, the glacier melted and the flood season lasted for four years. In these short four years, there were countless floods of varying sizes.
Although the climate in the north is a bit drier, they will not be short of water as long as there is a constant supply of water.
Even if there is an ice disaster, not only will there be no groups of icebergs here, the water sources will not freeze, and it is impossible to have a flood season that lasts for four years.
As long as they can survive the three-year ice disaster here, they will basically never encounter any natural disasters again.
In order to cope with the extremely cold weather in the past three years, Chu Chenyin has been working hard to raise sheep and grow cotton.
At the same time, they also stockpiled charcoal. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
