Chapter 1271 The 1277th Flood (5)
The storm lasted for three days before it stopped, and the entire Blue River Town had turned into a vast ocean.
Unfortunately, some people's homes and crops have been flooded. Fortunately, no one lost their lives in this natural disaster.
Because of the heavy rain, Lin Mu did not inform City Master Lin of the situation here.
The total number of people in Blue River Town is at least a thousand. It has only been three days, and most of the food brought there has been destroyed.
Although the rain has stopped, no one knows when the water will recede. We will definitely need to stay in Zhuangzi for a while.
As half the owner of Xicheng, Lin Mu naturally wanted to express his condolences to the people.
So, the next day after the rain stopped, Lin Mu, Mu Qing, and Zhu Huamujie headed to a nearby mountain villa with several carts of food.
On the fifth day, the water finally dropped from the waist to the thighs.
Lin Mu also sent Wangyang Town about the situation here.
By the time the reinforcements arrived, another two days had passed.
The men who came with the troops were Elder Qin and Li Hu.
At this time, the water in the upper reaches has receded to the knees.
Reinforcements arrived with a bunch of food and drink, and were busy draining the water upstream.
It took half a month of busy work before the water finally receded.
The ground is full of things and extremely messy. Most of the former beauty of Blue River Town has been lost at this moment.
Looking at the scene with the eyes, many people cried.
Elder Qin, Li Hu, and Lin Mu's group were busy comforting the people and trying to find a solution to the current situation. They were almost dizzy.
After finally settling all the people, a group of people finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Such a big thing happened, why didn't you see Lord Ji?"
It was not until this moment that Elder Qin discovered something was wrong.
“He?” Lin Mu snorted coldly and said, “He has long since run away with his family and his family.”
"Ran?"
Elder Qin trembled at the corner of his mouth, and after a long time he gritted his teeth and said: "In the past, I thought it was quite reliable, but I didn't expect that I would run away first when the disaster came. It's really a waste of time!"
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger and said: "That's all, he can leave the West City, no, it's best to leave the interior, otherwise I will kill him every time I see him!"
Everyone heard the words but laughed and said nothing.
Gu Panxia suggested: "In order to avoid such a disaster again, Blue River must dig more drainage channels."
The previous channel was simply perfunctory. It rained so heavily and the Blue River was so wide, but there was only a small channel. It would be strange if it didn't cause a flood.
Li Hu said angrily: "I don't know what happened to Ji Xiao. The city lord has allocated a lot of money here, but in order to attract other outsiders to retain the water of the Blue River, he not only dug the drainage channels so narrow and shallow, but also only had one , so much so that it led to today’s tragedy, such a person should be cut to death by a thousand swords!”
Lin Mu took a sip of tea and said, "It's useless to talk more. It's better to wait until everyone has a rest and go to the lower reaches of the Blue River to dig more drainage channels."
Gu Panxia and others did not return to the town with them, but chose to stay in the villa.
I heard the shopkeeper complain when he came back, saying that the table legs on the first floor of the inn were soaked in water, and there were several dead mice on the ground. The whole inn was filled with a foul smell that made people want to vomit.
