Chapter 207 Is There a Flood?
When Cheng Feng saw Su Nuan's eyes light up, he knew that she had an idea, but then he saw her eyes flicker, as if she didn't want to say it.
He hurriedly urged, "Sister, tell me what you have in mind. No matter if it works or not, tell me and let's see."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuan said, "Burn it."
Cheng Feng was startled and asked, "Did the people over there offend you?"
Su Nuan chuckled and shook her head, "No, even if we dig a pit and bury so many corpses, it will cause a large-scale pest outbreak."
"It might cause an epidemic, so it's better to just burn it. As the saying goes, dust to dust, ashes to dust!"
Cheng Feng stroked his chin and pondered the feasibility of this matter.
People in this era like burial. The biggest curse is to grind the bones and scatter the ashes. Isn’t cremation the same as grinding the bones and scattering the ashes?
Su Nuan also knew this and comforted him, "Don't think too much. Buddha said that reincarnation will only happen when the ties are gone. What are ties? Isn't it just a corpse?"
"Only when the corpse completely disappears will they be eligible for reincarnation. We are speeding up their reincarnation and doing a good deed."
Cheng Feng looked at Su Nuan suspiciously, "I have little education, don't lie to me."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'm not lying to you. Do you think that when a great monk passes away, his body will be burned with fire?"
Cheng Feng slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, how could I forget about this."
Seeing that he was persuaded by her, Su Nuan smiled and said nothing more.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Nuan went to Mrs. Cheng's place to deliver milk powder, and then went to another room to rest.
Early the next morning, Cheng Feng organized the team and set off.
Su Nuan summoned the snow wolves and tied a sled to them. She didn't need to fly, so she used the sled to travel.
Cheng Feng thought it was fun, so he sat on one of the sleds and cracked it with a whip to command the snow wolf to move forward.
The two of them were the first to arrive near the cold city. The entire cold city was covered with snow like a huge tomb.
Cheng Feng personally dug a passage and found the gate of Hancheng.
Su Nuan deliberately said, "I saw a damaged wall when I came here last time. It would be better to go over there. Otherwise, we have to smash the city gate open, which is very difficult.
Cheng Feng nodded, "There's snow all over the city, so breaking down the door won't be easy."
Su Nuan used a shovel to clear the way and found the damaged area along the city wall.
She picked up a carrot brick and said, "This brick must be defective. Why is it so much lighter than the one next to it?"
Cheng Feng was a man of insight. He took the brick and looked at it carefully. He said in surprise, "This is a radish brick, made to prevent famine. I didn't expect this city to have it."
Su Nuan pretended to be confused and asked, "What is a radish brick? Can this thing be used as a stone brick?"
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Look for it quickly, there should be some left. Every city uses some radish bricks to build walls. In times of famine, dig them out and cook them into porridge. It can save lives."
Su Nuan said "oh" and followed Cheng Feng to look for it.
By the time all the radish bricks were found, the gap in the city wall was large enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.
Cheng Feng said, "With these carrot bricks, we can hold out for a few more days."
Su Nuan didn't say anything. If she wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion, she would have put more.
At this time, Li Shitou also came over with his team. He asked, "Should we transport these bricks back first?"
Cheng Feng said: "This is a radish brick, it's edible."
Li Shitou obviously knew what radish bricks were, but he despised them. "Who would eat this when my aunt is here?"
Cheng Feng glanced sideways, but managed not to get angry. "Go in and look for something."
This time they went into the city to look for something edible, so they searched the city thoroughly.
After the food is taken away, the bodies are burned together and the pit where the bodies were burned is filled up. It is truly dust to dust.
After that, it was moving bricks and demolishing houses...
This busy work lasted a long time. Su Nuan counted the days and said, "Brother Cheng, is it March now?"
Cheng Feng counted on his fingers and said, "It's almost April now, look, the snow is almost melted.
The snow used to be as high as three people, but now it is only a shallow layer, and the ground is exposed in many places.
Su Nuan felt inexplicably uneasy. She said, "There aren't many things left. Let's not tear them down yet. Let's go back and take a look."
Cheng Feng nodded, "Okay."
There aren't many things that can be demolished in Hancheng, and there's no need to move the remaining mud houses.
Su Nuan said, "I'll go back first."
She called for Feixue to come back from the sky.
The cliff was fine, no problem, so she flew up the river again.
When Su Nuan reached upstream, she saw an astonishing scene.
The water upstream is rushing down, and the water downstream has not completely melted, with only the middle of the river having flowing water.
So such turbulent water will definitely overflow the river bank and flood both sides.
Su Nuan immediately turned back and shouted at the cliff: "Everyone get ready and go up the cliff."
Zhao Dayou was startled and asked, "Is there a flood?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, those who believe me will go up the cliff."
Some people questioned, "How could there be a flood if the river hasn't been fertilized yet? It's so cold up there on the cliffs, I don't want to freeze to death."
Su Nuan rode on Feixue, looking down at the people below, and said coldly: "Those who trust me can climb the cliff, and those who don't trust me can do whatever they want. When the flood comes, I won't save anyone."
No one in Sifang Village led by Ling Cang dared to speak, and no one knew how Ling Cang dealt with them. They were all very well behaved.
"Listen to my wife, pack up and head up the cliff."
Zhao Dayou also organized people, took important items, and moved to a small room on the cliff to live in an orderly manner.
There were still more than twenty people in the cave below who were unwilling to leave. They thought that even if there was a flood, it would not come so soon. They would go up when they saw water to avoid going out and freezing.
Su Nuan was too lazy to waste her breath, as it was impossible to persuade the damned ghost with kind words.
She went to check upstream again and found that there were a lot of large pieces of ice piled up upstream, so the water flow was blocked a little, so the water flow downstream was not so fast.
The space spirit said: "This situation is very bad."
Su Nuan asked, "What did you see?"
The space spirit said, "You see, the ice here is blocking the water, and pressure will be generated on the ice surface downstream. As a result, as long as a crack appears, the ice surface will crack like a spider web."
"If there's more water upstream, creating pressure, and the water breaks through the ice, it's like a dam breaking."
Su Nuan had never experienced these things in her previous life, so she didn’t know what would happen. She was also very anxious now.
The space spirit suddenly stretched its neck and said, "Huh? Look over there."
Su Nuan looked up and saw a big mountain in the distance. That was the source of the river.
The water flows down from the middle of the mountain, forming a beautiful waterfall.
But now the waterfall has turned into a fountain, and the water inside seems to be under great pressure and sprays out directly from halfway up the mountain.
Su Nuan's heart trembled, "Oh no, a big flood is coming."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a huge gap in the mountain created by the water, and a large amount of water gushed out!
