Chapter 143 Water Diversion

After the rainstorm stopped, the people in the cave and the wooden house finally came out.

They came to the edge of the cliff and looked in the direction of the city, only to hear sighs.

Their lives were saved, and now they were facing post-disaster reconstruction.

Yu Wan saw this scene when she came out of the space.

"Aunt Jiang, go back. It's windy on this mountain. Be careful not to catch a cold," said a young girl, supporting a woman in her forties.

Aunt Jiang reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the direction of the city, turned around and let the young girl help her back.

"Daddy, did you say that mom is waiting for us at home? When will we go back?" A little girl asked while lying in a man's arms, and the man's eyes were also in the direction of the city.

The man touched the little girl's head and said, "Don't worry, Erya, wait until the flood recedes and we will find your mother and brother."

The little girl nodded sullenly, and then nestled in the man's arms.

And the man's eyes were already full of tears.

Such scenes appeared in Yu Wan's eyes one by one, and she shook her head helplessly.

This made her more determined to cultivate. When a cultivator cultivates to the Golden Core Stage, these natural disasters will no longer pose a threat to her, and she will not be so helpless.

At night, Yu Wan sat alone on the cliff, looking at the stars in the sky that she had not seen for a long time.

"Swish", two sounds came, and the little snake and Xiao Jin landed at the same time.

"Uncle Bai, are you all back?" Yu Wan stepped forward.

Bai Ziyi came down, "Why are you here alone? Let's go back."

The governor over there was also helped down by the guards, and he said hello to her and went back to the cave.

She saw that Mu Jiuchen and the soldiers he led had not returned, and they must have been stationed at the scene.

Yu Wan followed Bai Ziyi back to Yu Sanshi's wooden house, which was separated by several small rooms.

In the room, after Bai Ziyi asked Yu Wan to sit down, he also sat down, and then said: "Xiao Si'er wants to know what happened?"

Yu Wan nodded.

Bai Ziyi said solemnly: "The floods in some places have receded, but the houses are basically soaked and useless, and nine out of ten are empty."

Ten out of ten houses are empty. How many lives have been lost in this rainstorm?

It seems that the water really needs to be diverted to the northeast. The northeast has a lot of land and mountains. It can be diverted to the mountains and a pond can be dug in the land to store water like her village.

"What is Xiao Si'er thinking about?" Bai Ziyi saw that she was in a daze.

Yu Wan came back to her senses and said, "Uncle Bai, I'm thinking of diverting the water here to the northeast. With Xiaoshe and Xiaojin, it will be quick and no manpower is needed."

Bai Ziyi knocked on the table and said after a while, "I have reported this matter to your uncle. I believe your uncle will agree. There are floods in the south every year, but the size is different every year. This year's flood is even more special."

This flood is not a one-year or two-year issue. If it can really be solved, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people.

Yu Wan didn't expect that Bai Ziyi had already reported it to the court. This old ginger is still spicy, thinking and doing things in a mature and comprehensive way.

She asked: "Uncle Bai, are you guys going to go again this time?"

Bai Ziyi nodded: "I am here to see the governor back. His body is doing very well."

This governor is a good official who is conscientious.

Yu Wan sat for a while and went back to her wooden house, then entered the space.

The next day, Yu Wan and Bai Ziyi sat on the back of the little snake and left together. The matter on the mountain was handed over to the governor. Of course, Wu Sheng and Yu Sanshi were also taken with them.

Yu Wan took them into the space to help collect food.

She was on the back of the little snake, looking down. The ground was still like a vast ocean, and the flood had not receded much.

Yu Wan frowned. At this speed, it was unknown how much time would pass. The matter of evacuating the flood should not be delayed.

After flying for an hour, the little snake stopped in a mountain range. After they came down, they saw that there were sheds everywhere on the mountain, and many victims were cooking.

The disaster victims here are much worse than those in the mountains. Not only are they yellow-skinned and thin, their clothes are ragged, and they have nothing to eat.

Yu Wan went forward to take a look. There was very little rice in the pot, and not much water, gurgling in the pot.

Bai Ziyi pulled her, and she followed to Mu Jiuchen's tent.

It's called a tent, but it's also a simple shed made of tarpaulin.

"Master Bai, Miss Yu, please sit down," Mu Jiuchen politely asked them to sit down.

Bai Ziyi asked, "Haven't the soldiers here been transferred yet?"

Mu Jiuchen's evil face was also wrinkled at this moment. He shook his head and said, "Most of the people living here are sailors. They are busy dredging the river and salvaging corpses in the river. They can't spare anyone. People from the court can't come in without a big ship."

The more than 100 Mu family soldiers he brought were all land soldiers, and could only help with things on the shore.

Yu Wan heard them talking about how to make the water recede, so she got up and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the endless and dirty flood, she walked down the mountain, touched the flood with her hand, and chanted in her heart.

Suddenly, the flood rushed towards her, and the river in the space began to rise sharply.

When there was enough water in the space, she summoned the little snake and sat on it.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Let's see where the water comes from and divert it from the mountain," Yu Wan said directly.

Just waiting like this is not a good thing. No one can make the flood retreat in a short time. It is now the time to plant wheat in the northeast, and the water should be diverted there in time.

She released Xiao Jin as well, and then the two snakes flew towards the northeast.

With Xiao Jin scouting the terrain, it was much faster than her.

"Master, look, if we go straight through this mountain range, we can quickly reach the east," Xiao Jin said to her.

Yu Wan looked and it was just as Xiao Jin said. She and the little snake Xiao Jin checked the terrain for a morning and found that this place was suitable. It would not damage the farmland or the village, and it would completely avoid these.

"Then let's start from here, you two be careful," Yu Wan said.

After hearing this, the two put her on the mountain range, and they chose a good position and started to drill into the mountain range from the lower layer of the river.

She estimated that it would take at least a day for the two to drill through the mountain range. She entered the space and harvested rice on the red soil.

A day later, Yu Wan came out of the space, and sure enough, the two were waiting for her at the place where she entered the space.

"What's wrong, what's the situation ahead?"

"Master, should we drill straight ahead or go around? If we go around, we have to go around for a long distance," Xiao Jin said.

Yu Wan: "Go around, anyway, it doesn't matter."

With their speed, they can catch up with the wheat planting even if they go around.

The two nodded and took Yu Wan to where they stopped.

If they went out from here, the fields and villages would be flooded, so they had to take a detour.

So the two followed her instructions and went around here from another place and continued on.
