Sheng Chong and Abandoned Concubine: The Sixth Miss Doctor

Chapter 1389 Overcoming Difficulties
Knowing that Xu Lingyue was leaving, the commander's wife immediately said that the women and maids who were serving in the yard would continue to serve.

For her half-truth and half-fake caring, Xu Lingyue didn't refuse, but she didn't want all of it. She only brought two women and two rough girls with her, and asked them to serve Zhufeng and the others.

It is not easy to travel at this time.

The rain has not stopped completely, sometimes big and sometimes small. Although the storm is not as raging as it was a few days ago, it still has seven or eight levels.

Still a big threat.

The roads are even worse. Even the official roads are sometimes washed away or damaged by rain, not to mention the small roads stepped on by the people spontaneously.

Therefore, it is even more unrealistic to ride a horse and a car.

Later, Xu Lingyue went out in a sedan chair, the guards of the Nighthawk Squad and the Shenbing Battalion carried the sedan chair, and His Royal Highness King Xiang walked.

Stop and go along the way, often encounter various obstacles.

This time it stopped halfway.

A sentry came back to report: "Captain, the road ahead has been washed away by a river, and the water surface is three feet wide."

Yu Gou immediately went forward to check it himself. Sure enough, due to the sudden surge of rain, the small river that was originally Zhang wide suddenly roared, flooding the rice fields on both sides and forcibly widening its territory.

The river was turbulent, the water was turbid, and there was a lot of sand rolling in it.

With the ups and downs of the muddy water, you can still see all kinds of strange things mixed in, and even shoes and clothes.

At this time, a group of people from the other side of the river rushed over, and the banner they held was actually Deputy General Luo.

Yu Gou hurried back to report to see if he had to take a detour.

Xu Lingyue took out the map and looked at it, then asked where she was going, frowned slightly, and said to Ming Yi: "It seems that detours are not possible."

Ming Yi leaned over to take a look, and understood what she meant. This river was originally an inconspicuous river that existed to irrigate the rice fields on both sides, but it originated from the Nan'an River.

The Nan'an River was expanded by the heavy rain, and the water volume was greatly increased. The rushing river was forcibly diverted or directly divided into two large rivers.

Rushing here will cause the small river to become a big river, and the official road will be washed away.

Fortunately, there are no concentrated villages on the new waterway, and the only ones that were washed away were the farmhouses built in the rice fields, not the village gathering places.

"Miss, shall we take a detour or look for a boat?"

Such a river is difficult for others to ferry, but it is not a problem for them.

Xu Lingyue said: "Small boats are useless, and big boats are hard to find for a while. There are also several mountains nearby. Go and cut down a lot of rough bamboo and hemp vine plants."

She asked Ouyang Suo and Zhu Feng to contact Deputy General Luo, and also cut down moso bamboo nearby as she asked.

Yu Gou hurriedly ordered to go down, and someone led dozens of people to quickly go up the mountain to cut moso bamboo.

Someone trimmed the cut bamboo according to Xu Lingyue's request, leaving the thick branches and removing the small branches and leaves.

Soon a pile of moso bamboo poles as high as a person was piled up.

Xu Lingyue showed Yu Gou and others the construction drawings she had simply drawn, and asked them to bundle the moso bamboos together to make bamboo rafts according to her requirements.

There are also skills in making bamboo rafts, but they can't be so particular about using them temporarily. They can only be processed again later, and now they only need to cross the river.

A section of the bamboo raft needs to be baked and bent, but even if it is not bent, it does not matter as long as the boatman is strong enough.

Because it was rushed by the Annan River in the distance, it has been a long distance to get here, so the speed of the water flow has slowed down, and there is no danger of the bamboo raft entering the water.
