Rebirth of the eldest daughter

The old man lowered his voice: "I'm afraid the general doesn't know that the water originally ran across the flat ground as you said, but this wastes a lot of space."

"Some people have suggested before that the river should be diverted and flow along the mountains that cannot be cultivated into fertile land, so that the entire flat land can be cultivated."

"But Mr. Bai refused, saying that it was too dangerous and would easily cause flooding, so no one dared to move. Until this year's spring plowing, the river course was changed."

"Those who changed the course of the river built temporary dams to redirect the river that originally flowed through the plains so that it flows close to the mountains."

"The bend should originally be wider, so that the water flow will be much smoother and the embankment will be stable, but the wider it is, the larger the area will be."

"In order to get more fields, the river there was narrowed. The water in the dry season can pass through it without breaking down the dam, but it can't withstand the flood!"

Hearing this, Bai Mingwei already understood the general idea.

No wonder she didn't see this information in the county annals.

It turns out that the river course was changed this year.

At this time, the old man couldn't help but shake his head: "What a sin! If the river course had not been changed and it had flowed across the plains as before, no matter how big the flood was, the farmland would have been washed away at most."

"And those villages built on the mountains will not be destroyed by this flood. Our families are gone, our people are gone, everything is gone, where is our hope?"

"Now, old man, when I close my eyes, all I see is the overwhelming flood; the understanding and desperate look in poor Xinghua'er's eyes; and the densely packed corpses of humans, animals and poultry floating on the water."

"Too many people have died, too many people..." After the old man said this, he could no longer speak.

He wasn't heartbroken, but his throat was blocked by something.

Bai Mingwei heard the words and solemnly responded: "We will try our best to save every life and help everyone rebuild their homes. You must live well."

"Live well, hey, live well." The old man muttered a few words, then turned and left.

Bai Ming glanced at the boy who begged her to save her sister and watched quietly.

A child's mind is so fragile that it can be completely destroyed with just a little force.

Children's minds are also very strong, so strong that they can easily forget their sufferings and develop hope for life.

The boy believed Bai Mingwei's words. He felt the wind for a while, looked at the clouds for a while, and touched the messy vegetation around him.

He talked to himself, trying his best to feel his sister's presence in his own way. "Sister, sister, can you hear me?"

"My mother said that the first thing I said was to call me sister."

"But you couldn't hear me at that time. I kept shouting and shouting. It wasn't until I was five years old that I realized you couldn't hear me."

"You must be able to hear it now..."

My mother sat nearby, holding back tears.

Grandpa was squatting and looking at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Perhaps when the boy grows up, he will truly understand what the moment his mother's backhand means.

But for this mother, that moment was a deeper and deeper cut in her heart, which will always be dripping with blood.

For this grandfather, he not only has to bear the resentment of his daughter-in-law, but also the pain caused by his decision.

This is the powerlessness of puny mortals in the face of natural disasters.

It is also the helplessness of the people at the bottom when facing disasters.

There are thousands of people suffering like this.

In troubled times and disaster years, people's lives are always worthless.

Bai Mingwei didn't say anything more.

She turned and left.

"Miss, the Seventh Young Master and Prince Yu have sorted out most of the information and are waiting for you to go back and make a decision."

It was Cheng Bi's voice. She got the news from the guard and quickly found Bai Mingwei.

Bai Mingwei heard the words and immediately regained his composure: "Well, I'll stay for a while and then go back."

She is also anxious to deal with things, but now these refugees are extremely insecure.

As long as she appears next to these refugees from time to time, this is more useful than any nice guarantee.

Cheng Bi responded in a low voice and then went to work.Bai Mingwei walked back and forth in front of the soup kitchen, thinking about some questions at the same time.

Magistrate Hu was also a real person, and he put enough ingredients into the porridge.

The sticky porridge fills the stomachs of the victims, and there is a little more life in the dejection.

At this time, people who had fled far away also came one after another to get a pot of porridge to fill their stomachs.

At present, the situation of the refugees near Liyang Town is developing in a good direction.

But many people still died in the flood and on the way to escape.

There is still much, much more to do.

"A six."

"Girl, my subordinate is here."

Can't see the person, only hear the voice.

Bai Mingwei asked: "What happened to the brother and sister?"

The breeze brought Ah Liu's low voice: "Go back to my lady, my subordinates took Jincha Zui's shop and handed it over to them."

"After the doctor's examination, my brother suffered a skin injury, but it's not serious. Now the brother and sister are under good care. Are we going to take them back to these homeless people?"

Bai Mingwei shook his head slightly: "No, just stay there, I have new arrangements."

Ah Liu responded in a low voice, and then lost his voice.

As if it never appeared.

The people below will take care of the chores like giving out porridge.

Bai Mingwei stayed outside the city for a while, and then prepared to go back to the government office to arrange disaster relief regulations.

Suddenly, the little gray ferret in his arms jumped out and ran in one direction.

Bai Mingwei did not chase after her because she sensed that the little gray ferret smelled food.

She originally thought that the greedy little hair ball went to eat porridge.

But he never thought that the little mink jumped directly on a disaster victim, sniffed around, and was seriously thinking about how to eat.

Bai Mingwei couldn't help but wonder. Although the famine in Jiangbei was very serious, he didn't treat this little mink badly. How could he be so hungry that he could eat people?

Bai Mingwei walked over and picked up the little gray ferret by the back of his neck, trying to lift it away from the victim.

But the little gray ferret held the victim's arm tightly and refused to let go.

But the victims caught by it seemed to have not seen it, and were still drinking the cold porridge from their bowls.

Only then did Bai Mingwei notice the man in front of him.

The reason why I didn't notice it at first glance was because the man in front of me was not eye-catching.

He is like all the refugees here.

Suffering from hunger and illness, and being skinny and down to the bone, he does not stand out here.

But he was out of place and had no contact with anyone.

The place where he lay was covered with dead grass.

And the little gray ferret likes him, there must be a reason for the little gray ferret.

Unfortunately, the tacit understanding between Bai Mingwei and Little Gray Marten is not as high as that between Xiao Chongyuan and Xiao Bai.

She didn't quite understand what the little gray ferret meant.

So she wasn't sure what secrets this refugee had hidden.

Although Bai Mingwei had doubts, he didn't want to spend time on this strange refugee at this time.

Just when she was about to take the little gray ferret away by force, Ah Liu suddenly appeared and stopped in front of Bai Mingwei: "Girl, don't touch him!" (End of Chapter)
