One evening, Xu Yuehuai was busy organizing her work notes at her desk.
Suddenly, a rapid knocking broke the silence of the night. She quickly got up to open the door, and saw a villager rushing in, his face full of anxiety.
"Lord Shen, something terrible has happened! The dike over the stream in our village has breached, and floodwaters are rushing into the village!" a villager said breathlessly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai immediately became tense. She quickly changed into a raincoat, picked up a lantern, and said to the villagers, "Quick, take me to see!"
The two rushed to the riverbank, only to find the floodwaters surging and roaring towards the village like a ferocious beast. Xu Yuehuai immediately organized the villagers for rescue and disaster relief work. Leading by example, she braved the heavy rain and mud to guide the villagers in building flood control dikes. Under her leadership, the villagers united as one to fight the flood.
"Everyone, follow me! Let's build a temporary dike with sandbags!" Xu Yuehuai's voice was firm and powerful, as if infusing the villagers with an invisible force. She picked up sandbags with both hands and quickly piled them up, her figure appearing exceptionally tall in the night.
The villagers responded enthusiastically, standing shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand, together building sturdy dikes. Under Xu Yuehuai's leadership, they engaged in a fierce battle against the flood.
"Hold on, everyone! We absolutely cannot let the floodwaters overflow!" Xu Yuehua shouted, her eyes shining with determination.
"Let's hold on together!" the villagers responded in unison, their voices echoing in the night sky, full of strength and conviction.
"Everything will be alright once dawn breaks!" Xu Yuehua encouraged everyone, her voice filled with warmth and hope.
Thanks to everyone's combined efforts, the floodwaters were finally held back outside the village in the early hours of the morning. Xu Yuehuai wore a tired but relieved smile. She knew that this night was a night of victory for the villagers, a night of unity and collective effort in fighting the flood.
The next day, Xu Yuehuai was busy again, coordinating resources from all sides to help villagers repair their damaged houses and farmland. She moved through the village, her busy figure like a steadfast ray of light, illuminating the hope in the villagers' hearts.
"Lord Shen, you've worked so hard!" The villagers stepped forward to express their gratitude, their eyes filled with thanks and respect.
Xu Yuehuai humbly waved her hand, saying, "I just did what I should do. As a public servant, it is my duty to solve problems for the people." Her words were simple and sincere, yet they conveyed her inner determination and perseverance.
After several days and nights of hard work, the village finally returned to its former tranquility. Xu Yuehuai looked at all this with exhaustion but satisfaction. She knew that all of this was inseparable from the villagers' joint efforts and concerted efforts.

"Don't worry, I'll go find a water source for you right away."
Without a moment's rest, Xu Yuehuai began her work. She personally climbed the mountain, surveyed the terrain, and searched for traces of water. Ignoring the thorns that scratched her arms and her exhausted body, she was determined to find that source of life.
With her persistence, she finally discovered a clear spring hidden deep in the valley.

Xu Yuehuai excitedly ran back to the village to share the good news with the villagers. She organized the villagers to discuss how to guide the spring water into the village.
With everyone's joint efforts, a new irrigation canal was built, and the spring water flowed merrily along the canal, bringing life and vitality to the village.
"Lord Shen! You are truly a celestial being descended to earth!"
"We finally have a water source!"
"Thanks to you!"
