After sending Fu Manxing back, Nangong Yun stood at the door, looking at the heavy rain in the sky and suddenly spoke.
"Lu Er."
Soon, a young man who looked exactly like Lu Yi fell from the roof.
"Young Master."
"Take this silver and go to the next county to buy food and herbs for fever."
"Yes, sir."
Nangong Yun watched Lu Er leave and mentally counted the carriages carrying supplies behind him.
It will be delivered within half a month at most.
Everything will be resolved smoothly.
With this thought in mind, he turned over and got back on his horse. A lot of things would happen tonight and he had to keep an eye on them.
In Dan County, soldiers and officers marched along the streets in the heavy rain, beating drums and gongs to alert the people.
The heavy rain continued until midnight.
Although the people of Dan County are worried about floods, the streets are not flooded with river water at present, and many people cannot resist the sleepiness and fall into a deep sleep.
However, a family in Li Village secretly left the refugee camp and returned to Li Village in the middle of the night.
At this time, Li Village was empty after the officers and soldiers withdrew, and there was no light at all.
The old lady couldn't help cursing inwardly as she looked at the messy village.
"These officials are talking so lightly! Our old cow is about to give birth. What if someone steals it?"
"Mom, didn't the officials say they would compensate us? Let's go back quickly after checking the cows."
Erniu looked at the dark village and the heavy rain above his head, and his heart was beating fast.
"Bah! Erniu, you idiot! You haven't seen such heavy rain in all these years. When has it ever flooded our village?"
"I think this situation was created by the officials just to make money."
"I'm sure they won't give us silver."
When the old lady heard this, she stood in front of her second son, put her hands on her hips and started scolding him.
"Yes, yes, mother is right. Let's go back to the house quickly. It's very cold today."
Da Niu patted his brother's shoulder and helped the old lady back to the house.
The old lady refused to sleep in the middle of the night and insisted that they take her back to the village. The two men had no choice but to agree.
At this time, they didn't know that danger was about to come quietly.
As the heavy rain continued to pour down tonight, the canyon in the distance was finally washed away, huge rocks rolled into the river, and the huge waves quickly broke through the river bank and swept towards Lijia Village.
The flood flowed very fast, greedily devouring everything in its path. Soon, rocks and trees were swept into the river.
When the river reached Lijia Village, it easily broke through the lowland and swept towards the village. In just a few minutes, the flood rose to more than three meters high. As the river water continued to pour into the village, the water level was still rising rapidly.
In just a moment, the nearest eaves were washed away, and the arrogant flood was still clamoring to swallow more.
Soon it flooded the village entrance, and the river water was as high as the roof beams. Because the river embankment collapsed, the turbulent river rushed towards the village.
The turbulent river was still not satisfied. It greedily swallowed the eaves and soon flowed to the village entrance and along the road to Pear Village.
All the farmland, livestock and roofs encountered along the way were swallowed up.
Nangong Yun was watching the rising river water at the end of Li Village and realized that Li Village had been submerged. Without hesitation, he pulled Zhuifeng's reins and prepared to return to the city.
Just as he passed by a house, two strong men suddenly rushed out crying bitterly.
"Sir! Sir! Wait a minute! Please take my mother with you, please take my mother with you."
After the two strong men stopped Nangong Yun, they began to kowtow and pray.
"Why are you still in Pear Village?"
He frowned and looked at Da Niu and the other man with some displeasure.
"It's my fault, sir, please take my two sons away. It was me who asked them to take me back, but I didn't know the flood would really submerge Li Village. sir, please take my two sons away! It was my stupidity that harmed them."
The old lady came out of the house and knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Nangong Yun felt disgusted when he saw the three people crying bitterly. Looking at the water level rising higher and higher, he knew that the three people could not leave Li Village.
Without saying anything else, he whistled and continued riding at full speed.
The three of them sat on the ground in despair as they watched Nangong Yun leave. The next moment, all three of them fainted and were carried away by three well-trained men in black.
Not long after Nangong Yun and his companions left Li Village, the river water completely submerged the village and flowed towards the low-lying areas around it.
After riding back to the county magistrate's mansion, Nangong Yun did not rest, but went back to the study to write a letter and come up with a plan.
