"What have you been eating these days to fill your stomachs?" Xiao Ling'er asked.
"In addition to wild vegetables, there are many wild animals that have frozen to death on the mountain." The person who answered was still the old man.
"Let's go, everyone form two teams and follow us down the mountain."
Xiao Ling'er's words made everyone look up in surprise, and then they shook their heads.
They couldn't get down the mountain. If they could, they would have done so long ago.
It’s all because when the flood came, I only wanted to run to the highest place, but I didn’t know that it’s easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down.
The soil in many places collapsed, and they were just ordinary people and couldn't get down at all.
"Don't worry, we will let everyone of you go down the mountain." Xiao Ling'er persuaded in a low voice.
"Girl, how do we get down the mountain?" the old man asked again. He was very authoritative among these people and almost everyone listened to him.
"There are tools for going down the mountain over there." Xiao Ling'er pointed to the climbing rope in the distance.
Only then did everyone notice that there was a rope hanging from the big tree, and everyone stood up excitedly and walked over.
One of the men looked at the thick rope and tugged on it curiously, then said happily, "It's very strong."
Joy flashed in everyone's eyes.
"Okay, everyone line up in two teams and I'll send you down one by one." Xiao Ling'er spoke again.
Everyone obediently started to line up without scrambling for order. Children and the elderly lined up at the front, and men lined up at the back.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling'er was miraculously moved.
After two days and one night, Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting finally brought the person down the mountain and directly into the county magistrate's mansion.
It was only after arriving at the prefectural government that these trapped people learned that the prefect and county magistrate had known about their entrapment but had no intention of rescuing them.
They also knew that they had done a series of disgusting things. Of course, these things were told to them by Ye Wanwan and others.
After rescuing the people, the logistics were handed over to Ye Wanwan and the rescued women.
Many women had lost hope in life.
Now, they found that they were still very useful and many people needed them, so they temporarily forgot their scars and joined the logistics department.
Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting went to the front line again to solve the flood problem.
Xiao Ling'er carefully observed the surrounding terrain and found that the main cause of the flood was that the river was too narrow and the river water had no time to drain out, causing the river embankment to collapse.
It is definitely impossible to block it. The best way is to dredge it. According to the terrain, the river channel should be widened to enhance the flood discharge capacity.
But this requires a lot of human resources. It doesn’t matter. The more than 2,000 soldiers tied up in the county magistrate’s office can be used.
Xiao Ling'er told Gu Yunting about her plan, and admiration flashed in Gu Yunting's eyes. Ling'er was so smart and kind.
"Ling'er, Gu Nan and the others will be here tomorrow. Leave the rest to me. You need to have a good rest." Gu Yunting looked at the dark circles under Xiao Ling'er's eyes and said with heartache.
"Okay, but you can't collapse too tired. Leave it to Gu Bei, Gu Nan and the others first. You'd better take a good rest for two days."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Yunting did not refute Xiao Ling'er's words.
Next, Xiao Ling'er really took a rest when she said it was time to rest. She was absolutely confident in Gu Yunting's abilities.
Five days later, Gu Yunting told her that the river water had stabilized and was no longer rising.
Ten days later, Gu Yunting told her that the river water had begun to fall.
Fifteen days later, Gu Yunting told her that the river water had returned to normal and the mission was completed. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
