Chapter 38
The imperial court has also tried its best, and allocated an additional 50 taels of silver, just to ensure that the rush to repair the embankment can be completed.

Xie Mo sighed, "When will it be sunny?" 'Then close your eyes and force yourself to sleep, and continue to work tomorrow.

Xiao Hao stood in front of the window at night and watched the heavy rain, so naturally he couldn't sleep.Once the embankment breaks, there may be no way out for the 10,000+ people nearby.After this time, I don't know how long it will take to recover.

"My lord, several adults are sending their family members out in the rain overnight." Zheng Da came in to report.

The corners of Xiao Hao's mouth pressed down, "As long as they don't run away, there is no need to stop them. However, these people are like lonely people, saying that they can't provide money for disaster relief. Let someone go and see."

"Yes." Zheng Da comprehended and went on.When I got to the door, I was stopped, "Tell them not to hurt anyone, just scare them and take the money back."

In the middle of the night, someone carried boxes of silver and jewels into the posthouse where King Yong stayed.Xiao Hao walked to Zheng Da's opened box and looked, "Hey, everyone is so rich."

Naturally, the soldiers of Prince Yong's Mansion pretended to be robbers and robbed them.Even those guys dare not come to ask for it, these are far beyond their salaries by tens or hundreds of times.It's not greedy for ink.

The next day, the silver was turned into river sand to plug gaps, as well as rice and flour from the soup kitchen.And Xie Mo, who was at the hospital, also found that there was more meat than usual when eating, so he immediately ate it with a smile on his face.

Shui Qingyou said with a smile: "This King Yong is impressive. Yi'er, do you know where the meat you ate today came from?"

"The imperial government manages the food in the hospital. But why did you improve the food today?" Xie Mo took a long time to adapt to the life in the disaster area.Fortunately, the hospital's supplies to doctors have always been pretty good, and Shui Qingyou also prepared some food for a small treat.She didn't suffer too much following Shui Qingyou.

"Because King Yong made a fortune." Shui Qingyou whispered what happened in the middle of last night in her ear.

Xie Mo touched his chin, "This is the so-called robbing the rich and helping the poor."

Five days later, an old Mr. Gu who came out of Shengu together told Shui Qingyou that the rain was about to stop.Xie Mo immediately felt refreshed. To be honest, she had reached her limit.Immediately put his hands together and said: "Thank God!" In this way, this place will be preserved, and people will not have to starve to death.Xiao Hao's errands can also be done.

However, can this rain really be small?

Shui Qingyou also looked very excited, seeing Xie Mo's eyes with doubts, he said: "Mr. Gu hasn't looked past it yet."

Xie Mo understood, this is an expert who knows astronomy above and geography below.

"Do you want to send someone to report to King Yong?" she asked.

Mr. Gu said: "King Yong also has capable people, and he must have seen it. If he really has nothing to do, it's not too late to talk about it." You have to learn to hide your clumsiness.So Xie Mo didn't say any more, just waited anxiously.You must know that this news at this time is too important for people who are about to lose their hold.

Sure enough, by the afternoon, the news had spread throughout the city.The people in the clinic looked at each other with smiles on their tired faces, and some were crying.I heard that the people working on the embankment are also motivated.When Xie Mo went out to buy candied fried chestnuts at night, the peddler offered to give a portion for free.

On the second day, the rain gradually subsided.

"God, hurry up and let the sun clear!" Xie Mo muttered.

"Uh, Yi'er, a few people have fallen ill. You go to the embankment with you, and deliver the decoction to prevent the epidemic and strengthen the body to the people on the embankment." Shui Qingyou explained.

"Oh, okay." Several people in the hospital fell ill, but he was still standing, Xie Mo felt very proud.Shui Qingyou also said that she is in better health now than when she first arrived in Shengu.It depends on the increased activity and food intake in the past few months.

Following the crude carriage to the embankment and seeing the still roaring water of the Yellow River, Xie Mo knew that things were not so optimistic.It's only just starting to get better, but it's really bad.

The decoction was sent to the embankment.Not far away is a temporary shed, which is said to be King Yong's command post.Xie Mo couldn't help but glance over.

"Xiaobai, don't dawdle, work quickly!" said the person who came along.

"Oh." Xie Mo quickly scooped up the medicine for the people who came over.

From this day on, she followed others to deliver soup and medicine.Later, the rain had completely stopped, and the water slowly began to recede.

Xie Mo saw Xiao Ma's figure from a distance a few times, and was also happy for him.The matter is finally coming to an end, and he will be able to return to Beijing in a few days.

The waves were still high, Xie Mo didn't even dare to get closer to see it.After distributing the decoction, she was carrying the bucket and was about to follow everyone back when she heard someone say, 'The prince has fallen into the water, save the prince quickly'.

Xiao Mao fell into the water?
Xie Mo was frightened and looked over, there were already a lot of people missing by the embankment just now, saying that a big wave came over, the embankment was soaked in water for a long time, and suddenly a piece collapsed, and then the wave was too big, King Yong was swept down.

As for the other people who were missing, some were swept away together, and some jumped down to find King Yong.For example, Zheng Da and the guards of King Yong's Mansion jumped off by themselves.And those who rolled down together were those who stood beside King Yong, including local officials, people capable of water control, and people brought by the palace.

Immediately, the long embankment was full of people, and they all let go of their throats and shouted 'Prince'.I have to say that this month of helping each other in the same boat, Xiao Hao really won the hearts of the people.

However, these are of no help, and the people who were swept down disappeared after a few waves.However, the people who jumped had some protective measures, and ropes were tied around their waists, so two of them were washed away.The people on the embankment quickly pulled the rest up.

"What can we do? Seeing that the disaster is almost over, the prince was swept away by the big waves. Order to go down, let the water be good, drink ginger soup and go down to find the prince." The official who was still on the embankment ordered.Then twenty masters were ordered to go into the water, and the others continued to work.

The people on the embankment gradually dispersed, and Xie Mo squeezed in with a bucket.I only saw the monstrous waves, but no one could be seen.

Xiao Hao was swept away by the big waves like this?However, he has kung fu, and there are so many people protecting him.Why did his feet collapse.

Xie Mo saw that there was no one around, so he went to the place where Xiao Ma was washed away just now, to see if someone had tampered with it.But as soon as he stood up, he was pushed from behind by a strong force, and he fell into the river with the bucket in his hand.

She is good at water, especially in the past few months in Shengu, she has been playing in the water every day.But now the wind is raging and the waves are high.She could only close her eyes, desperately grabbing the bucket in her hand.She didn't know how long she had been floating, but she didn't dare to let go of her hand, for fear that if she let go, she would die.Afterwards, the water surface became slightly calmer, and it was not as uncomfortable as before, so Xie Mo dared to open his eyes.
