Upon hearing this, Village Chief Feng's expression turned serious. "Is that really what the Water Resources Bureau said?"
"Yes, it's very dangerous that someone else has checked it." Having hoped for good weather these past few days, Village Chief Feng's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
After Ji Huangquan escorted the people back, the Water Resources Bureau immediately received the news: "So, this dam could collapse at any moment?"
"Yes, if this isn't resolved quickly, the villages downstream of the dam will all suffer. If the water level continues to rise, the dam will breach in less than half a month," said a staff member from the Water Resources Bureau, looking at his superiors.
Upon hearing this, the other party's expression changed, and he immediately made a call for help. Soon, news came that local soldiers were to pile up sandbags, as it was practically impossible to repair the dam in such heavy rain.
So all they could do was pile up sandbags. And at that moment, Gu Guoquan's side was exactly the people they were looking for. The matter of suppressing the bandits was put aside for now; the affairs of the people were the top priority.
When Gu Guoquan heard this, he didn't object. He immediately led his soldiers to prepare for battle. Meanwhile, the surrounding villages also learned of the news: "The dam might collapse? What should we do?"
"Don't worry, the soldiers have already gone to repair it. They're just piling sandbags over the dam now." Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Fengjia Village in Fengbiluo will send food there. Not only Fengjia Village, but many men below the dam also automatically joined in the work of repairing the dam.
If this dam collapses, not only will others be in trouble, but they themselves will also be directly in danger. Under such circumstances, these men naturally cannot just watch the danger happen.
Ji Huangquan and the others also went, but Feng Biluo and the other women did not go. However, they stayed behind to cook and support the group. Feng Biluo observed that the people of this era were all of one mind, regardless of who they were.
In the future, people's hearts will change, but... even so, the simplicity of this moment, along with the selfless dedication of the elders, still evokes a deep sense of emotion.
Under these circumstances, Feng Biluo also joined in the labor. Gu Ting held the child, as Gu Ting's body was injured and needed to be cared for at home. Neither Feng's mother nor Gu Ting went; Feng Biluo went with the villagers to cook.
Many young women began to help out here. Some were driving wooden stakes, while others were transporting sandbags. When Feng Biluo watched, her eyes flickered with a hint of shock.
It wasn't the grand and spectacular scene that moved them, but rather the simple and honest labor. Feng Biluo also started working, and Ji Huangquan followed everyone else to work. As long as Ji Huangquan didn't do anything to change the world, that is, to appear out of thin air, the world would generally allow his existence.
In fact, Feng Biluo understood that this change was probably beyond the scope of human power. It didn't matter if it exceeded the limits of ordinary people, but if it exceeded those limits, God would be unhappy.
Feng Biluo also joined the cooking effort. Every soldier wore straw mats and raincoats to start working, and during breaks, they squatted in the rain not far away, eating cornbread. Every one of them had a resolute look on their face.
Feng Biluo looked around with a smile on her face, and then started washing the dishes. At this time, many girls were looking at the soldiers not far away, and the married women were teasing the girls.
When asked which soldier they had their eye on, some girls lowered their heads shyly, indicating that someone had taken a liking to them. At that moment, several people laughed, but suddenly a thunderclap appeared in the sky, and Lily appeared.
Everyone couldn't help but look up, and the people from the Water Resources Bureau looked tense. "What happened?"
"The cracks in the dam have widened. We need to speed things up, otherwise the water will just rush down," said the water conservancy bureau official, looking around.
"This won't work." Upon hearing this, someone nearby spoke up, "Even if we try to block it, once there's too much water, the sandbags will be completely useless."
Once the dam breaks, everyone will be swept away by the water. At this moment, Ji Huangquan and the others nodded, but Ji Huangquan hesitated.
But he still spoke up, saying, "It's better to guide than to block. Who knows how long this rain will last? If it continues, the water will definitely break through the dam."
Upon hearing this, the people from the water resources bureau also looked into the distance and asked, "The problem is, how do we release the floodwaters?"
“The northwest side,” Feng Biluo said. The people from the Water Resources Bureau were slightly taken aback when they heard this. “That side is a forest and a valley. Even if the floodwater is discharged there, the water will flow into the valley and will not rush out. This will relieve the pressure on the dam.”
Upon hearing this, the people from the Water Resources Bureau said, "Let someone take us to see it. We want to conduct an on-site inspection." Hearing this, Feng Yangzi and Gu Guoquan led the Water Resources Bureau personnel to investigate.
At this point, the dam is impossible to repair because the rainfall is too heavy. Even if we try to repair it now, it will be very difficult and too late. The most important thing is to find a way to release the floodwater.
At this moment, Feng Biluo and Ji Huangquan and the others looked at the distance. Ji Huangquan and the others went to pile up sandbags again. Meanwhile, the people from the Water Conservancy Bureau went to investigate directly without stopping.
