A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 834 Spirit Pillar

When the soldiers arrived at Sankou City, Qiu Ke had checked the breach of the dam and the surrounding terrain.

Disaster relief begins with regaining control of the dikes.

The dyke line of Sankou City is quite long, and the parts that were not hit by the flood are still intact, but the part that intercepts the flood and is hit by the flood from time to time left a rather surprising breach.

As soon as that place collapsed, the raging floods would no longer be hindered, and they would wantonly attack the towns and crops.

There is no shortage of beams, wooden pillars and other wood left over from houses being washed away in the city. Many of them are stuck at the corners of some streets and alleys, and they can be used right now.

Qiu Ke ordered the soldiers to scoop up all the timber in the water, and then tightly packed them into row after row, and then moved to the breach of the ever-flowing embankment, erected it, and stuck it deep into the bottom.

The wooden gate cannot completely intercept the water flow, but as long as it has a certain control effect in a short period of time, during this period of time, the soldiers can repair the breach of the dam outside the wooden gate, and the flood can be stored again.

Qiu Ke had two thousand soldiers under his command. Some of them collected beams and wood in the city, some went to collect stones for repairing breaches, some dredged and drained the accumulated flood in the city, and some were responsible for setting up camps. After assigning tasks, each went his own way.

Most of the soldiers were wading in the muddy water, braving the rain that fell from time to time, grasping every moment.It's just that the water flow has a lot of momentum. If you don't stand firm, you will be rushed downstream if you don't pay attention.

In just one day, dozens of soldiers in the Sankou city water had been washed down.

Soon, the thick timbers were tightly packed into row after row, and laid out on the water, it looked like a strong and wide raft when laid flat.

In order to prevent the wood from being washed downstream, soldiers on both sides of the bank used ropes to tightly trap the wood when it was launched into the water, and when necessary, they used manpower and horsepower to pull it forward.

Qiu Ke led dozens of hundreds of water-based soldiers to climb the edge of the raft and jump into the water. When the soldiers on both sides pulled the ropes, the soldiers in the water pushed a row of thick horizontal wooden rafts up against the current.

Seeing this, the people of Sankou City also came to help one after another.

When Anan and the adults delivered meals to the soldiers, he saw Qiu Ke standing in the water with the soldiers and the people from a distance to resist the flood.

If it weren't for the soldiers to carry a certain amount of food and grass with them, the common people wouldn't even be able to eat food these days.

Anan saw that the tall wooden gate was being pushed up little by little by the joint efforts of so many people. He also wanted to help and contribute, but the teacher grabbed the back of the collar with one hand and said: "Don't make trouble. Wait a minute You were washed away by the water, and the general has to rescue you once more."

Anan had to obediently stay in a safe place on the shore.

In the end, all the people insisted on pushing the tight crossbar upright, which happened to be tied at the breach of the embankment.

At this time, the torrent was blocked by the wooden gate, and although a small part of the water was still flowing out, most of the momentum was trapped inside the wooden gate.

It's just that if no follow-up reinforcement work is done, the wooden gate will definitely not last for a few days.

Therefore, the stones collected by Qiuke's soldiers were also put to great use.Taking advantage of the time when the torrent was blocked by the wooden gate, they began to rebuild the embankment outside the wooden gate.

The master asked the people to distribute the meals to the soldiers, and Anan saved a copy for Qiu Ke, and stood on the shore and shouted: "Big brother, it's time to eat!"

Qiu Ke stood on the river not far away, even though his legs were a little sunken in the soft mud, under the gray sky, he still looked tall and tall.

He was covered in mud and water, looking dirty but not embarrassed, he seemed to be a pillar of spirit, standing among the soldiers and the common people.

Hearing Anan's call, Qiu Ke turned around.

The world is desolate, and the surroundings are full of messy dirt, only his eyes are black and white, so clean, and after seeing Anan, he smiled a little.

Anan stayed where he was, suddenly felt warm.

Qiu Ke raised his feet and walked towards Anan. Every step he took, he had to carry some mud with him, so he walked slowly.

When they got closer, Qiu Ke asked, "Is there any water? I'm a little thirsty."

Anan came back to his senses, nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes." He quickly ran back to the teacher, took a pot of water into the basket, took an empty bowl, and ran back to pour it out. A bowl full of water was offered to Qiu Ke.

Qiu Ke saw that her hands were also covered with mud, she found a small puddle of water and washed her hands, then took it and drank it all in one gulp.

Anan asked: "Big brother, do you want to drink?"

Before Qiu Ke could answer, several other soldiers and brothers who knew Qiu Ke well also came up from the river, tired and thirsty, and when they saw water to drink, they were rude, and they didn't even need a bowl after carrying the pot, and just looked up. With his head hanging in the air, he poured the spout of the pot to his mouth, and drank happily.

After one person drinks it, he passes it to the next one.

Take turns down, a pot of water will be gone.

After that, the few people didn't pay much attention, they just washed the dirt on their hands in the muddy river water, then found a place where there was no water and mud, sat on an extra wooden pillar, and started to eat voraciously .

The external conditions are like this, even if you want to pay attention to it, you can't pay attention to it.What's more, these rough guys are also used to being rough.

Sitting among them, Qiu Ke was not as voracious as they were when eating, but looked very gentle.

He also gave half of his steamed bun to Anan.

Anan waved his hand and said, "Big brother, I just ate."

Qiu Ke said: "Take it, when you are growing your body, you should eat more."

Anan didn't tell Qiu Ke that he didn't eat much.The food and grass brought by the army is only for a few days of military supplies. Before the relief supplies arrive, some of them will be distributed to the people to satisfy their hunger. In order to last longer, it is natural to save some food.

Most of the people working here are soldiers, and their food must not be small, otherwise they will not have the strength to work.Therefore, the common people's food is correspondingly less.

Of course Anan wasn't full, but he wouldn't compete with his big brother for food. The big brother had to work when he was full, but at most he could only run errands and couldn't help.

So when Qiu Ke gave him steamed buns, he put his hands behind his back and didn't pick them up. He murmured, "I'm not hungry, let's eat, big brother."

Qiu Ke raised her eyebrows with a smile and said, "Aren't you hungry? Then why do I hear your stomach growling from such a distance?"

Anan scratched his head, blushing.

In the end, he took half of the steamed bun, and Qiu Ke asked him to sit down beside her, and ate the steamed bun together.

He ate small sips savoringly while listening to his brothers talking to Qiu Ke.

One of them said: "A total of more than 100 brothers have been washed downstream in the past few days, and less than half of them have been rescued in time."
