I couldn't see how high the riverbank on the other side was because it was too far away.
Mu Ruxue remembered the telescope she had taken out earlier and took it out immediately, wanting to see clearly the height of the river bank in the distance.
"Don't we still have a telescope? Why don't we know how to use it?"
After being reminded by Mu Ruxue, everyone remembered that they had placed a telescope in everyone's space ring.
Yun Ruoxi: "Xiaoxue has a good memory. I almost forgot about this."
Everyone took out telescopes from their space rings, but no one knew how to use them.
Mu Ruxue took everyone's telescope and adjusted the parameters for everyone one by one.
Jamel Xiao put the telescope to his eyes, and he didn't expect that the place he was looking at so far away before now seemed to be right in front of him.
"Oh my god, what is this? It was so far away before, but now it seems to be right in front of me. It's amazing."
Mu Ruxue smiled and said, "You can think of it as clairvoyance."
Yun Ruoxi: "But this thing has its own name, it's called a telescope."
Xiao Jingrui chuckled, "Clairvoyance, telescope, it really is a good thing."
The five brothers of the Duke of England's mansion also followed their example and looked towards the riverbank not far away.
Before, the distance was too far and everyone couldn’t see clearly, but now, with the help of telescopes, everyone can see the river bank in the distance clearly.
Now the accumulated water on the other side of the riverbank is level with the riverbank. It is estimated that it will not be long before it will rush towards this side.
Everyone's expression changed instantly. "I didn't expect the water on the other side of the riverbank to be so high. What should we do now?"
Yun Ruoxi: "Even if we are on a boat now, the moment the flood breaks the dam, the waves will overturn the boat. I'm afraid we can't escape this disaster."
Mu Ruxue said with a grim expression, "But with so many of us, what should we do if we are separated by the flood?"
Xiao Jingrui: "It seems that we still need to prepare in advance when we go back. It would be best if we can find something to tie everyone together so that we won't get separated."
Jamel Xiao: “This is also a way, but most of us can’t swim. If the flood breaks the dam, I’m afraid people will be drowned before we even get on the boat.”
Yun Ruoxi: "The situation is not good now. Let's go back to the cave and discuss it with everyone later."
Mu Ruxue said helplessly, "Xixi, I finally understand why you were so panicked. Even though we were at the top of the mountain, you still insisted on going up to take a look. It turns out we really can't escape this time."
Yun Ruoxi took Mu Ruxue's hand, which was icy cold. "Xiaoxue, don't worry, there must be a way. Don't forget, we still have so many supplies. Although we have to endure some hardship this time, it won't be difficult to survive."
Mu Ruxue looked at Yun Ruoxi's serious eyes and nodded vigorously, "Okay, let's go back quickly. It won't be long before the flood comes. We should find a way to renovate the cave. Hopefully, we can hold out a little longer."
Yun Ruoxi was also thinking about this. She wondered if there was any way to prevent the flood from flowing back into the cave when it came from the other side of the mountain.
Yun Ruoxi had been searching for her life story in the space, hoping to find something that could protect the entrance to the cave, preferably so that not even a drop of water could get in.
But this is not realistic. With so many people living in a cave without oxygen, they can't hold their breath for long.
The idea of sealing the cave door was shattered again.
Everyone returned to the cave with heavy hearts, and Zhao could tell at a glance that everyone was in a bad mood.
"Why do you look so grim after going out?"
Xiao Jingrui explained: "On the other side of the mountain, the dam is about to be washed away, and a flash flood is about to come."
Zhao's eyes widened in surprise. "How could this be? Hasn't the accumulated water here yet flooded the village at the foot of the mountain?"
Jamel Xiao: "On the other side of Daqing Mountain, there is a dam built specifically to prevent floods from breaking through the dam, but this time the rain is too heavy, the dam may not be able to hold it back."
Zhao's face turned grim. "About ten years ago, I heard about a massive mountain flood in Yanshan Prefecture. Not only was Yanshan Prefecture affected, but so was the neighboring Yanyuan Prefecture. More than half of Yongzhou was turned into a vast ocean, and the floodwaters overran houses, forcing villagers to take shelter in the mountains. Even so, it took a full month for the floodwaters to recede completely."
At the end of the story, Zhao seemed to have thought of something terrible, paused, and dared not say any more.
However, I am afraid that everyone in the Daye Dynasty knew about the flood in Yanshan Prefecture. After the flash flood, many corpses were soaked in the water, rotting and stinking, and finally brought about a plague.
So this is why, after so many years, Yongzhou's population is still less than half of that of other prefectures.
It hasn't been long since then, and Yanshan Prefecture has encountered such a severe flood again. The people's lives must have become even more difficult.
No wonder the villagers in the mountain village build their houses halfway up the mountain. It seems that as long as it rains heavily, the people's houses will be flooded.
Therefore, the villagers would rather live halfway up the mountain than have their houses flooded.
A flooded house becomes damp and moldy, and it is difficult to restore it to its original state.
Xiao Jing continued, "Although we don't know whether this flood is more serious than the one from more than a decade ago, we must be fully prepared."
Liu Yong nodded. "Normally, when we encounter a flood, we don't have a better solution. But since we know a flood is coming, it's best to store our belongings in the young lady's magic weapon. Everyone should be fully prepared. It would be best if we could tie everyone together with hemp rope so that we won't be washed away by the flood."
Yun Ruoxi nodded. "I had originally wanted to stay in this cave for a few more days. I finally set it up, but now it's going to be torn down after just one night."
Mu Ruxue: "Fortunately, we found out early, so the supplies weren't wasted. If we had been more cautious and hadn't gone to the top of the mountain to check the situation on the other side, we might have been drowned without knowing when."
Yun Ruoxi nodded and went directly to the cave next door, loaded everyone's horses and carriages, and then put them directly into the space.
After everyone put the remaining things into the space, Yun Ruoxi took out a lot of dry food, water bags, and wooden barrels and asked everyone to put them in the storage rings.
Now, the brothers Liu Yong and Liu Gang have taken the loyalty pill, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty.
