Chapter 781 The Disaster is Coming
"Madam, the dam has burst!" The servant came back crawling to report the news.
When the servant came in, his face was pale and bloodless, and his lips were trembling when he spoke.
Xu Shiyun went out in a hurry and didn't even have time to put on her clothes.
"Where is Yanshu?" Her voice was a little sharp.
There have been continuous heavy rains in the past few days. Lu Yanshu has been draining flood water outside the city every day. Lu Yuanxiao and a group of scholars have helped to resettle the victims.
The servant's face was very ugly: "The eldest master is still on the dam."
Xu Shiyun's body softened and she fell straight backwards.
Rong Che hurried forward to catch her: "Don't worry, Chao Chao knew that he was on the dam these days, so he asked Zhui Feng to stay with him. Don't you trust Zhui Feng?"
When Xu Shiyun heard this, some color appeared on her face.
"Zhuifeng is a reliable child. Nothing can go wrong in his hands." Everyone in the mansion knows that Zhuifeng has always been reliable, unlike Zhumo.
Zhuifeng has a deep relationship with Lu Chaochao and takes the Lu family very seriously.
"Madam, the dam has burst and the downstream has been evacuated in advance. I don't know if the river water will flow back into the city. We must prepare in advance."
Rong Che felt a little apologetic. This was probably the time when Yunniang needed him the most.
But he had to rush to the front line.
He had to lead the Rong family army to the front line to fight the flood.
Yanshu and Yuanxiao were also outside, and the young and old in this mansion... Rong Che's guilt was almost overflowing.
Yunniang knew what he meant, and immediately wiped away her tears: "Don't worry, I'm at home."
As they were talking, someone had already carried out old lady Rong from next door, waiting to retreat together.
Rong Che felt more and more guilty, but Xu Shiyun grabbed his hand and said, "Don't worry about home, just go there quickly. Don't delay the important things." She knew the priorities of things and immediately gave Rong Che a push.
"Dad, I'll go with you!" Lu Chaochao rushed into the door with a few raindrops on her temples.
"no!"
"No!" Rong Che and Xu Shiyun said in unison, and even their tone seemed a little harsh.
Xu Shiyun even stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly: "Chao Chao, retreat with me. Don't go!" There was even pleading in her eyes.
There were continuous heavy rains and thunder struck Chaochao's courtyard. Last time, Cao pointed out in public that Chaochao was careless.
All of this seemed to be pushing Chao Chao to come forward.
Xu Shiyun cares extremely about everything about her daughter, and her anxiety has reached its peak.
There is no room for error.
"Chao Chao, leave everything to the court, and you retreat with mother. Besides, mother is bringing the old and young with her, and there is no one to escort her, so we will feel more at ease if you follow us." Rong Che knew her temper, and immediately squatted down and said solemnly.
Lu Chaochao looked up and saw her mother tilting her head and secretly wiping her tears, with her lips tightly pursed.
After a long while, he gently responded.
"Yes." After she agreed, Rong Che immediately took his men to the dam.
Xu Shiyun immediately gave an order for everyone to make preparations and retreat to higher ground after half an hour.
Dengzhi immediately sent people to the city gate to observe the situation in preparation for any emergencies that might occur at any time.
"Water is already flowing back into the city gate. I'm afraid it's not good. The women around have already started to evacuate. Madam, let's evacuate as well." Dengzhi was soaking wet. The heavy rain continued and the oil-paper umbrella could not stop it at all.
The Lu family packed their simple luggage and hurried out.
The rain is so heavy that even an umbrella can't hold up.
"Take good care of Cancan." Xu Shiyun turned around and looked at Cancan and Wen Ning. Cancan was still young, lying in her mother's arms with her hands stretched out to catch the rain, little knowing how big a disaster she would face.
Everyone hurried out and followed the crowd to higher places.
The raindrops hit the ground violently with an irresistible majesty and power. It seemed as if there was a big hole in the sky, pouring endless torrential rain onto the earth. In the streets and alleys, water flowed like a river, seeming to swallow everything.
Through the heavy rain, I could hear countless desperate cries.
The people wore straw raincoats, holding their dazed children in their arms. They could not take their belongings with them and could only try their best to save their lives.
"It's gone, all gone. After decades of hard work, now I have nothing left..."
"The house collapsed and we didn't get anything out... God, you won't leave us even a chance to survive? Are you going to force all of us to death? God, open your eyes and look." The sound of crying was everywhere, and despair was spreading.
"Stop crying and run away. We are in the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor. At least we can stay alive and build up our family business again."
"Somewhere else..." The person who spoke paused.
"The dikes have collapsed downstream. Those who evacuate early may be lucky enough to save their lives. Those who are unwilling to evacuate may have their entire families wiped out. And the people living in the mountains, with such a heavy rain, I'm afraid the mountains will also collapse... Alas..."
The crying stopped and everyone fell silent with red eyes.
Zhu Mo held Shan Shan in his arms, and as Lu Chaochao walked, he turned around and looked behind him.
Countless houses are crumbling in the heavy rain. I wonder how many people are fleeing across the world.
She looked up at the sky, and saw that only a thin layer of the barrier of Bei Zhao Heart remained.
The divine world is forcing her to show up.
She pursed her lips tightly, and heard Ci Mu's voice again in her ears, 'No matter what happens, don't come out. Believe me. '
'Please believe me. '
Lu Chaochao looked down at her feet. Her feet were soaked in the water and her toes had turned white.
She felt heavy in her heart and followed her mother without saying a word.
After arriving at the refuge, Dengzhi found a place and temporarily settled the maids and servants there.
Standing on the top of the mountain, everyone could vaguely see the situation outside the city gate.
The moat, which had always been docile, now looked like a raging sea, like a soaring dragon, like a spreading Milky Way, engulfing one village after another.
There were cries everywhere, and it seemed as if someone was asking in my ear: "What should I do..."
"Who can come and save us..."
The Chaoyang Sword appeared in Lu Chaochao's hand at some point. Shanshan gently held it in her hand, holding down her hand as she was about to draw the sword.
"Sister..." Shanshan tilted her head back, with water drops hanging on her eyelids, and looked at her intently.
Lu Chaochao let out a sigh of relief, turned around, avoided their gazes, and dared not look at the homeless people again.
If you look closely, you can see her shoulders shaking slightly.
Xie Yuzhou struggled to make his way through the rain, and it took him a lot of effort to finally reach the Lu family resettlement site.
He searched the crowd and when he saw Lu Chaochao, his eyes suddenly lit up. The tension in my heart suddenly eased.
"Chao Chao, His Majesty told you to stay here and rest assured, he has his own way." In fact, Emperor Xuanping said it more bluntly.
Emperor Xuanping said: She has saved the world once, this time, the world will save itself. I just hope she can protect herself and not come out! Don't come out! !
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a group of people flying out from the sky in a crooked manner.
The people stood up immediately: "Look, someone is flying in the sky." Everyone raised their umbrellas and looked up into the rain.
"He is a disciple of Chaoyang Sect."
"Look, it's the disciples of Chaoyang Sect who are saving people." The people who had just fallen into despair suddenly jumped up, with new life on their faces.
