Xiao Lingling sat cross-legged and took a short rest. Soon, Deng Zhuo came over with a dozen people.
"Princess, I've brought the person here."
When Xiao Lingling opened her eyes, more than a dozen burly men shuddered subconsciously and all lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.
Little Bell didn't care about that. "Well, since there are so many of you, I'll prepare some more. Okay, put on these raincoats first."
Fortunately, Zhao had prepared a lot of them beforehand, one for each person, and they put them on immediately and nimbly.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lingling didn't give them much time to buffer.
She first left the space and came to a place not far outside the city. She waved her hand and released all the people, along with many large boxes.
In order to make the performance more realistic, Xiao Lingling even pulled out two carriages.
It was previously kept in the space as a backup, but now it comes in handy.
The carriage pulling the boxes could hardly move forward. They arrived at the city gate with one step after another. Deng Zhuo went forward and knocked on the door.
"Help us! We are sent by the Fifth Prince to support you. Please open the city gate!"
Several yamen runners on the city wall had already seen them. When they heard the voice, they were immediately delighted and hurried to report to the county magistrate.
It took only a cup of tea for the city gate to open and welcome the carriage in.
Xiao Lingling didn't care about what happened afterwards. The things inside were prepared very well, and there were enough tents, medicinal materials, and food.
So don't worry at all.
Seeing that they entered the city smoothly, Xiao Lingling immediately chased them upstream along the river without stopping.
Because of the heavy rain, the river water has risen sharply, the entire river surface has widened so much that the river bank has been submerged.
Moreover, because a lot of mud and sand rushed in, the river water became turbid, mixed with some dead branches and leaves. Occasionally, you could see a few animal carcasses and some floating dead fish.
Little Bell frowned.
This won’t work!
There will be problems if the corpse rots.
It's summer again now. Once the heavy rain stops, the temperature will rise immediately, and there might be a plague then.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingling's heart instantly became nervous.
Little Lingling was extremely tired now. Every time she moved her brain, she could feel a tingling pain in her head.
Until we reach the source of the river.
This is a tall mountain. The river comes from the mountain and converges into several small streams in the middle, making the entire river much wider.
This river runs through the entire Wencheng Prefecture.
It can be said that half of the people here rely on this river for their livelihood.
But, every advantage has its disadvantages.
Now that heavy rain has caused all the streams to surge, the entire river has naturally begun to spread wildly.
If you want to completely solve the flood problem, it is best to divert some of the water.
Although Xiao Lingling had the space, she couldn't do this. After all, her magic power was not enough to transfer such a large amount of water.
If there is not enough space, then you can only consider diverting the water underground or to other branches.
Xiao Lingling took out a water mirror and observed the direction of the river's flow.
I found that this river has many branches, but none of them are big enough.
If the water is forcibly diverted, the small branches will not be able to absorb the water and small floods will definitely occur.
In this way, at most the risk can be shared, which is only a last resort.
Xiao Lingling used the water mirror to look underground, but due to lack of magic power, the water mirror almost fell down.
Fortunately, the little bell held on. After a while, the scene changed and a bright light suddenly flashed in the water mirror.
Got it!
Little Bell looked at the picture in the water mirror in surprise and compared it carefully.
It turns out that there is an underground river under this mountain and this river.
The location is not deep, just about ten meters underground.
The underground river was very wide and the riverbed was very long. Little Bell couldn't see the end for a while.
Most importantly, no one lives underground.
Therefore, as long as she opened up the passage to the underground river, she could immediately divert a large amount of river water for diversion.
And she doesn't need to alert anyone to do this, she can do it herself.
Time was running out and there was no time to think too much. Xiao Lingling immediately chose a position, gathered strength and began to attack continuously underground. Each attack could create a big hole in the ground.
One, two, three...
I don't know how many times it hit me, I just heard a thud, like something falling to the ground.
It’s connected!
A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Lingling's face, and she quickly expanded the hole to a full two meters in size, and then dug a river channel to divert the water from the river.
Soon, a large amount of river water rushed along the low-lying river channel and drilled into the ground.
It works!
Little Bell breathed a sigh of relief, but this alone was clearly not enough.
Xiao Lingdang retreated quickly and dug two large holes for drainage at locations about twenty miles, ten miles and five miles away from Changshui County.
Soon, the water levels of rivers around Changshui County began to drop.
Little Bell was very tired, but she still insisted on waiting until the time when the flood was supposed to break out.
Only after she was sure that the flood was not coming did she finally relax her tense heartstrings.
Just like that, the person suddenly tilted and fainted.
Fortunately, before she fainted, she remembered to put herself into the space.
The people in the city received food and tents sent by Deng Zhuo. Although everyone was still placed on high ground, they at least had straw raincoats, medicine to keep warm, and a lot of food, and they felt much more at ease.
Not only that, the yamen runners who had been on guard on the city wall also discovered from afar that the river water level was dropping.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Although the rain hasn't stopped yet, we finally got through this stage.
They originally thought that there would be a tough battle today, but they didn't expect it to be so peaceful?
Only Deng Zhuo and the others knew that the princess was most likely responsible for this, but they could not say it, so they could only put the credit on the fifth prince.
Although they didn't understand why, since their master had given the order, they could only obey.
After that, the rain continued intermittently for three or four days, but Little Bell still did not come back.
Fortunately, there had been instructions beforehand, so Deng Zhuo and the others were able to remain stable.
But on the other side, things were not going well for Su Jingshuo.
The sudden heavy rain caused the river to surge, and they now had no way to leave the cave. Although it was temporarily safe here, the agreed time had long passed and Xiao Lingling had not returned.
Everyone couldn't help feeling a little worried.
In the blink of an eye, five or six days had passed, and Su Jingshuo finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"No! No matter what you say this time, I have to arrange for people to go out and look for her. Xiao Lingling came here for me, and I can't just watch her in danger and do nothing!
Come on! Immediately arrange for five people to go out and look for it. Xiao Lingdang said that the villa is in the surrounding mountains and forests, so you should go look for it.
Regardless of whether you find it or not, you must come back and report in one hour!"
