Chapter 502 Using the Power of Space Again
Tubei Village was the first to stabilize during this flood.
Fortunately, Tubei Mountain is located at a high altitude, so the villagers' houses were not destroyed by the flood, and all the rice at the entrance of the village was harvested.
During the day, only the elderly people are left in the village to look after the house, while the young women and strong laborers have gone out to help elsewhere.
Only Old Lady Su and the eldest princess are at the Su family, helping to take care of Niannian Suisui.
The food was kept warm in the pot and hot water was available on the stove.
Old Lady Su personally washed her granddaughter and changed her into dry clothes to prevent her from catching a cold.
The girl did not wake up during the whole process, which shows how tired she was.
When she walked out of her granddaughter's room, the corners of Old Lady Su's eyes were red.
"What's the matter? Still sleeping?" The eldest princess stayed in the main room, holding Nianniansuisui to prevent them from running around.
Old Lady Su nodded and sighed, "I really hope the flood will recede soon so that everyone can be fine."
Her little granddaughter was really tired.
"Yes, the dams on the Qing River have been raised, and the water has been dammed. I see the rain is much lighter than it was at the beginning, and it will soon stop and everything will be fine," the princess consoled, deliberately changing the subject. "I'm quite surprised by what happened this time. The Qing River is so long, and yet Tianbao led the local people to build dams on both sides in just ten days. Their speed and skill are truly astonishing. If someone else were to do this, it would take at least a month or two."
Old Lady Su forced a smile, which made her feel even more distressed. This time, Tianbao must have used a lot of strength that they didn't know about to make herself so tired.
The other members of the Su family didn't come back until the afternoon. They all looked like clay figures, with not a single clean spot on their bodies.
Especially white and quartz.
Tianbao used the two's ability to burrow underground to the fullest extent. In ten days, he dug drainage ditches for the flooded fields in the fiefdom.
The Su family was worried that the two would suffer head injuries, so they specially asked Bai Yu to get two iron hats for them.
Now the hat is thrown in the corner of the yard, deformed and unusable.
The ditches were dug, the dams were built, and floods from all over were drained into the Qing River.
After finishing their meal, the three Su brothers slumped down on a bench in the main hall. "We've inspected every hill and ridge in the fiefdom. Residents nearby have been ordered to evacuate any areas at risk of collapse or landslides. We've arranged temporary accommodation for those people at Pier 12. We've gotten through this safely."
"But the situation in other places outside is not so good." Bai Yu also came back. This time he was responsible for raising funds for clothing and daily necessities for the people. People in the inner city who were capable raised a lot of money, and the task was completed perfectly.
His white shirt wasn't very clean either, with mud and sewage stains all over it. His shoes were filled with water, making noises when he stepped on them.
After entering the house, he pulled up a low stool and sat down. "The flood control in the border town hasn't even finished yet, and there's chaos everywhere in the city. Fortunately, the court sent people down early to minimize the damage. But sir, you have a concern. The exile area is only separated from the border town by a line of defense. If the flood there isn't properly contained, it could very well affect us again. We need to plan ahead for prevention."
The elders didn't quite understand this, but the three brothers Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu heard the hidden meaning behind these words.
It takes thirty miles to travel from Tubei Village to the border town along the mainland, but in a straight line, it is less than ten miles.
Once the flood in the border town breaks through the dam, all the people will rush to the place of exile, and Tubei Village will be the first to bear the brunt.
"I've already shared Mr. Bearded's concerns with him. Someone at Pier 12 will notify everyone else. They should remain vigilant until the disaster is completely resolved."
Just as Bai Yu finished speaking, a deafening sound suddenly came from a distance. The noise was so loud that the mountain shook slightly.
Everyone's expression changed.
"Bai Yu, quickly take everyone away!" Huo Ziheng's urgent shout rang out from outside the courtyard, his voice hoarse, "Biancheng Reservoir!"
Bai Yu, Su An and the others turned even paler upon hearing this. Without thinking too much, they immediately led everyone out of the house, "Hurry up! Up the mountain!"
"I'll go get Tianbao!"
It was too late to run to other places to avoid the flood at this time, so we could only go to high ground first.
Su Wu ran down the village road, shouting, "The Biancheng Reservoir is releasing water! Run! Everyone from Tubei Village, run! Everyone, get to the top of the mountain!"
The old man who was lying down next door and wanted to take a rest also rushed out of the house. He saw the village children running around in panic along the way, and he caught them one by one and took them up the mountain.
It was not yet evening, and many villagers who were outside helping to drain the floodwaters and build dams had not returned. The elderly and children who stayed at home were frightened and panicked, and could only follow the direction of the others and run up the mountain.
There were many people slipping and falling and getting covered in mud.
In a panic, another green figure rushed out from the Su family yard, picked up the person who accidentally slipped down the mountain road and rolled him up in space.
"Tianbao!" Bai Yu followed closely behind her, his throat was blocked by something and he couldn't utter a word of dissuasion. Then Bai Yu darkened his eyes and flew forward, carrying the old man and the child who were still staggering up the slippery path at the foot of the mountain to a higher place.
Xiao Maisui, Bing'er, Huo... everyone who had time was busy, trying their best to send all the villagers who stayed behind to the mountain.
When you reach halfway up the mountain, the horrifying scene in the distance comes into view.
Another wave of flood rolled in from the other side, like a wild beast that had been trapped in a cage and starved for thousands of years, coming with great force and covering the sky and the earth.
Wherever it went, the grass, trees, and houses were completely devoured! The huge rocks on the hillside were crushed and rolled forward uncontrollably!
In a blink of an eye, the flood and the beast are right before our eyes!
The children were frightened by the scene and screamed and cried.
"Hold on to the trees next to you!" Tianbao's cold voice was mixed with tired hoarseness, his bloodless lips were tightly pursed, his eyes staring at the rolling flood, he concentrated his mental strength again, used the power of space, and formed an invisible huge shield in front of him to withstand the impact of the flood.
Bai Yu's whole body tensed up, his voice trembling, "Wang Bai, Shi Ying, protect the elders of the Su family!"
He then flashed to the side of Huo Ziheng and his wife.
Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu also formed a triangle, protecting their family members and the old man in the center of the triangle.
The rest of the villagers were behind them.
Boom——
Boom——
Bang--
A huge yellow wave came over and covered the ants from the front, intending to smash them to pieces.
The force of the slap dissipated in mid-air.
It was like there was a giant, indestructible umbrella there.
The broken waves slid down from the tip of the umbrella, causing the rocks on the mountain path to roll down.
All the people being protected were stunned by this scene. They looked up with their eyes wide open, staring at the yellow water splashes that shattered in the sky with their mouths wide open.
Only Bai Yu lowered his head, staring intently at the thin body of the girl slightly below him.
Her face grew paler, making her pupils appear extremely dark, and the bloodshot from the corners of her mouth even more glaring!
