Although Ji Huangquan hadn't read Feng Biluo's book, he had read other books and, judging from the recent heavy rains, knew something was likely going wrong. Upon hearing this, Feng Yangzi was stunned.
“I haven’t checked. Although there’s been a lot of rain, it’s not uncommon in previous years, so there’s no need to worry,” Feng Yangzi said. However, upon hearing this, Ji Huangquan’s expression turned somewhat cold and somber.
Looking at Feng Yangzi, Ji Huangquan said, "Nonsense, this isn't something you can just decide. Everyone go and check the dam. I'd better go with you." He added that Feng Biluo lived here, so he needed to be extra careful.
Feng Yangzi didn't expect Ji Huangquan to care so much about the dam, but he nodded and decided to go with Ji Huangquan. From childhood to adulthood, Ji Huangquan was the kind of child that everyone around him admired.
Whether it's intelligence or competence, he's a good kid in other people's eyes. Under such circumstances, everyone has a very high opinion of Ji Huangquan. Not only that, but they also strongly support him when he wants to do something.
Feng Yangzi had crossed paths with Ji Huangquan before. Although he felt that Ji Huangquan might be making a mountain out of a molehill, he still went with Ji Huangquan. Feng Biluo was slightly taken aback when she saw Ji Huangquan and Feng Yangzi going. "To see the dam?"
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Ji Huangquan said, "I'm worried that something might happen on the other side of the dam. You should stay at home."
Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo looked at Ji Huangquan with complicated thoughts. Ji Huangquan had returned and immediately felt that the dam needed to be checked. He was much smarter than her. However, she knew it was a flood, but she didn't know if it was a problem with the dam. She hadn't thought of that.
They only thought about how to defend against floods, without thinking about how to solve the fundamental problem. Feng Biluo shook her head as she watched Ji Huangquan leave. Many people in the village already knew that Ji Huangquan and Feng Yangzi had gone.
When Ji Huangquan and Feng Yangzi arrived at the dam, Feng Yangzi asked Ji Huangquan, "What could be wrong with this dam?" Ji Huangquan walked over and began to inspect it.
Below the dam is a wall with a passageway above it. The dam is not sloping, but vertical. Ji Huangquan touched it as he looked at it. Although it was raining, rainwater could hardly get in here.
Not only that, this wasn't rainwater at all, but water seeping from inside the walls. "What's wrong? Did you find something?" Feng Yangzi asked, looking at Ji Huangquan's expression.
Ji Huangquan looked at Feng Yangzi, his expression turning cold and tense. "The dam is leaking water." The dam was leaking water.
Looking at him, his expression was somewhat solemn. "We'll talk about it when we get back," Ji Huangquan said. Upon hearing this, Feng Yangzi glanced at Ji Huangquan, nodded, and followed him back.
Everyone from Fengjia Village was present. As Ji Huangquan sat down, he said, "I just went to check the dam. It's leaking water. If the rainfall is significant, the dam will burst." He looked at everyone and said this.
"The dam at Qishan'ao is related to hundreds of villages downstream. If the dam breaks, many people will suffer, and our Fengjia Village will be in even greater danger."
When we heard this, everyone was stunned, but no one paid attention to it. Instead, they asked, "Are you telling the truth?" Uncle asked with a sharp tone.
“It really is my uncle. I saw it too. There’s moss there, it’s been seeping in, but it’s not very obvious. But the problem is… in this heavy rain, it’s very dangerous.” Water is appearing little by little, and no one can say for sure when it will collapse.
Upon hearing this, Uncle's expression turned serious. He then looked at Feng Yangzi and said, "Prepare the oxcart. Ji Huangquan and Yangzi, you're coming with me to town."
He then left with his men. When the villagers heard about this, they exclaimed, "No way, is this a joke? Village chief... is this fake?"
“Yangzi and Ji Huangquan both saw it, and Uncle also thinks it might be true, so he went to town,” Village Chief Feng said. Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression turned grim.
When Feng Biluo received the news from Feng Linqi, she was immediately alarmed. "So, the dam might burst?"
"I don't know yet, but it's possible it's true. Ji Huangquan went to see him, and Uncle is in town now," Feng Linqi said, looking at Feng Biluo. "If the rain doesn't stop, then there will be a big problem."
"Hopefully we can make it in time," Feng Biluo said. The dam issue was... Feng Biluo remembered that the flood was not just a problem with the dam, but if the dam issue were resolved, it would be a good thing for everyone.
The best we can do now is hope that things go smoothly on Ji Huangquan's side. The mountain roads are rugged, especially in this rainy weather, making it even more difficult to drive the oxcart. If we don't trust the road, accidents can easily happen.
Ji Huangquan was the driver. At this moment, Feng Yangzi was supporting his uncle. When the uncle looked at Feng Yangzi, he asked, "Do you see how big those marks are?"
"There are basically no traces yet, but water is seeping out of the stone." Feng Yangzi said as he looked at his uncle. Upon hearing this, his uncle breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked into the distance.
"That's good, maybe we still have time. Let's go find the government." Since it hasn't completely cracked, there should still be plenty of time. Of course... in this rain, it's dangerous, so we need to find someone to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Even my uncle clearly understood that the villagers couldn't solve this problem; they could only go to the government.
The reason why Uncle came himself at this moment was entirely because if Ji Huangquan and others were the ones who contacted the government, they might not be able to completely resolve the matter, and some people wouldn't believe it. But if he came himself, things would be different.
Upon arriving, Feng Yangzi looked directly at his uncle and waited for the oxcart to arrive. After that, his uncle took Feng Yangzi to a place and then met some people.
Feng Biluo stood at the doorway, looking at the sky outside. Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still quite dark. Feng Biluo became a little worried. It had been raining for almost half a month. Was this going to happen early? Would there be an early flood?
