Chapter 171

The gap in the embankment continued to expand, and the overwhelming flood turned into a wall of water several meters high. With a "bang", it rushed far away and submerged a large area in an instant. The water level was rising steadily, and people riding on the fence were already dying. Called for help.

Wan Qixiao pointed at the gap and yelled: "Quick! Block that gap! Stop Hong Feng if you die!"

Jin Fei and more than 30 yamen servants rushed up with several square tables, moved to the gap step by step against the force of the flood, and pushed the tables to resist the flood.Where there is not enough resistance, people join hands and pull up a human wall to block it!

The torrential rain hit people's eyes sorely that they couldn't see clearly ahead.Perhaps this is also the case, giving people endless courage.Blocking a moment is a moment!Because I can't see the Hongfeng, I have no fear!
The monstrous torrent and huge waves rushed in, and the human wall was constantly washed away by people who couldn't hold it, and soon someone was on top.All the yamen servants closed their eyes and joined hands, feeling the power of life and death with their companions.Don't look at it, don't think about it, even if the waves are roaring in front of you, you and my brother are by my side.

Because of their resistance, the rushing flood became smaller, but the rising water level still caused many people who could not climb high to scream and fall into the water, spinning and sinking in the water.

The umbrella in Ning Shuoyun's hand was blown away by the torrential rain and wind, and the water level quickly reached his knees, and it soared rapidly.Seeing so many of his own people crying for help in the water, he was very anxious, but he couldn't do anything.

At this moment, the south city gate behind him suddenly opened with a "boom".A rescue team of 50 or [-] people rushed out, and two or three people carried a small boat into the water quickly, and rowed towards the victims who were calling for help in the water.It turned out to be the Imperial Guard brought by Wan Qixiao from Kyoto.

Wang An, the leader, pulled Ning Shuoyun and Wan Qixiao onto the boat, scratched his head and smirked: "My lord, I still resist the order."

"You idiot!" Ning Shuoyun yelled, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and then sucked his nose heavily, "So don't die, and I will punish you severely later!"

"Design!" Wang An yelled very forcefully, and immediately rowed forward.

The flood spread, the yellow flood flooded the area, and the water level continued to soar at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, more and more people were rescued, and the rescue boats rowed fast on the water one by one.At the same time, the water level of the Huai River is also rising at a double rate.

The real peak is coming!

The human wall quickly failed to hold up, and was washed away bit by bit.

The water level of the yellow Huaijiang River was rising at a rate of doubling every second. Finally, with a "boom", the gap in the human wall was broken, and all the yamen servant brothers were washed away, and many people were affected by the wave of flood He vomited blood due to internal injuries.

As soon as the gap was broken, the torrential flood met the sky and the water in the torrential rain, rolling up huge waves overwhelmingly.

Boats capsized, trees were uprooted, houses collapsed, and the water surged.

"Withdraw!" Wan Qixiao yelled in the rainstorm.

The pattering rain covered her voice.But everyone knows that if they don't withdraw at this time, there will be no chance to withdraw again.

So all the small boats that did not capsize tried their best to rescue the brothers nearby, and then the boats were swaying in the storm, struggling in the huge yellow waves. Nature's grim reaper.

Some ships narrowly escaped death, while others capsized halfway.

The torrential rain was still falling, the water level had submerged the embankment, the Huai River had already flooded, and the river was full of earthy yellow water.In the water, fragments of ships, parts of houses, and towering giant trees that were uprooted were all ups and downs in the river waves.

Some small boats were overturned by the river, and a boat of government servant brothers fell into the water tragically.Wang An stopped rowing several times, trying to save people, but was stopped by Ning Shuoyun.

Ning Shuoyun is always a rational person.He rowed the boat, gritted his teeth and shook his head again and again with red eyes: "Be rational! Being emotional will only cost you your life and is useless!"

Wang An choked with sobs, lowered his head and slapped himself twice, tears streaming down his face, and continued rowing.Behind him, the cries of the brothers were drowned out by the flood.A world covered in torrential rain, with floods submerging everything.On the boat, Wan Chengxiao's cloaks were all drenched on his body.She stood straight, like a javelin.Everything around her, the sound of floods, torrential rain, cries for help, and collapses, seemed to be out of her ears.It was as if she was the only one left in the world.Only she knows how scared she is at this moment.

She is afraid of water.

But he forgot about it in a damn hurry, and let himself fall into the flood.Wan Chengxiao was soaked in not only rain and flood, but also dripping sweat.She was so nervous at the moment, her face was pale, and her fingertips turned white.

She didn't even dare to move half an inch.

She was terrified that the boat would capsize.She is afraid of water, which is a weakness that she will never get rid of in her life.It was a nightmare!Back then in the harbor of the imperial capital, she could turn pale with fear, not to mention the heavy rain and floods here now!Wan Qixiao felt that even if he breathed a little harder, he would faint.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a bright color around the corner of his eye.

In the muddy khaki flood in the distance, there is a plain white figure floating!
Wan Qixiao turned his head a little bit stiffly, squinting his eyes in the heavy rain to take a closer look.Wasn't it Aunt Qingci who came to look for her earlier that floated down the flooded river?

"Qing, Aunt Qingci?" Wan Chengxiao's voice was very soft, even holding his breath, weakly.

The celadon white clothes are especially conspicuous in the yellow flood.Her eyes were closed tightly, her lips were pale, she seemed to be unconscious, and she floated down the water quickly.Wan Chengxiao saw her lips tremble slightly with sharp eyes.

She is not dead yet!

Wan Chengxiao immediately fell into great panic and hesitation.

She is afraid of water, she panics.But now that Aunt Qingci is in the water, should she go to save her?
If it weren't for this flood, it would be easy for her to save Aunt Qingci.However, such terrible water is now spreading everywhere... She can't overcome her fear of water!
But if you don't save her, she will suffer even more.

She doesn't care much about Aunt Qingci, but Qingci is Qin Xian's half adoptive mother!Qin Baobao's personal maid!If Qingci just died in front of her eyes, how would she face Qin Xian in the future?

Furthermore, if something happened to celadon, Qin Xian would feel uncomfortable to some extent, right?
She didn't want to see Qin Xian suffer!
Maybe she is stupid, but just be so stupid once.

Wan Qixiao gritted his teeth, pretending that he couldn't see the raging and rolling flood, pretending that he was still on the ground, and pretending that he was in a carriage.She turned her head and shouted decisively: "Stop!"
