Chapter 570
Lin Erlin Shi naturally could not leave the people trapped in Gaopo Village, but this trip to Donglin Town was not as smooth as they thought.
When the two of them came out of Gaopo Village with their light skills, they were really full of confidence.
The mudslides that besieged Gaopo Village did not bring any difficulty to them. In the hazy sky light, the stones in the mudslides rose and fell dozens of times, and the two of them escaped from the mudslides.
When they came to Donglin Town in the heavy rain, it was only half past the hour.
Donglin Town seems to be immersed in sleeping and there is little movement. There is not even a street breakfast stall that can be seen everywhere on weekdays, so naturally the shops are closed.
Donglin Town has a town office. After discussing it, the two of them hurried to the town office, enduring hunger.
On the way, I unexpectedly saw a snack shop that had just opened the door, so I simply ordered a bowl of big meat noodles at each of the food shops, plus four big meat buns that had just been out of the cage.
The two of them were having breakfast but were not idle. At this time, they were only two diners in the shop. Seeing that the shop owner was idle and had nothing to do, he found out about the situation in Donglin Town without saying a word.
I really got a lot of news from this old boss.
As the county magistrate, Ye Shen once came to Donglin Town two days ago, the day when Gaopo Village was surrounded, but for some reason he left in a hurry.
Although Donglin Town has a high terrain and heavy rain does not bring any inconvenience to the lives of the people in Donglin Town, the news that the continuous heavy rains and the mountain torrents buried several nearby villages has long been known. On the second day of the mountain torrent, the only food shop in Donglin Town that sold grain twice, and the price of medicine in the medicine shop also increased.
Speaking of the food and medicine prices, the boss sighed deeply.
Lin Erlin Shi didn't think too much about Ye Shen coming and leaving.
There are many mountains in the south, and landslides like Donglin Town are probably not an isolated case.
There is also a Chishui River in the territory. Under such continuous heavy rain, the Chishui River should be very tight.
The twenty Lins are not just the surface, just the guards of the Lin Xiuwu Sect of the Marquis of Lao Zhennan. They naturally have a deeper task, which is to assist Ye Shen in developing Nanzhu and allow Ye Shen to achieve political achievements in the shortest time.
Therefore, in the past six months since I came to Nanzhu, the twenty forests have no understanding of Nanzhu’s understanding of Nanzhu is not as deep as the leaves, and in some aspects it is even deeper than the leaves.
Yangliu Town, Nanzhu County, is surrounded by mountains and is simply a depression. The Chishui River even crosses the town.
Under normal heavy rain, as long as the Chishui River does not rise, Yangliu Town will naturally be safe.
But under the continuous heavy rain, the water level of Chishui River must surge.
If the water level of Chishui River is higher than that of Yangliu Town, not only will the rainwater in the town be nowhere to be discharged, but there is also the danger of Chishui River flowing backwards.
These days, Lin Erlin Shi has always been devoted to the villagers of Donglin Town. He hasn't really thought about the Chishui River. As soon as the boss's words are attracted, he thinks of Chishui River. He thinks of Yangliu Town in a depression, and naturally he thinks of Lin Wan, who is about to be produced in Yangliu Town.
Although Lin Shiba and Lin Qi were still left in Yangliu Town, if the river water really flowed backwards, could Lin Shiba and Lin Qi be saved?
Based on their understanding of Lin Wan, if they encounter danger, they will not run away alone. Such a result is really unimaginable.
Lin Erlin Shi had an impulse, that was, he would ignore the matters in Donglin Town and rushed back to Yangliu Town immediately.
But impulse was just impulse after all, and they understood very well. If they really dared to leave Donglin Town and run back to Yangliu Town, what they would gain would not be Lin Wan's gratitude but Lin Wan's anger.
"We can't be impulsive. We have to settle the villagers in Gaopo Village anyway. Fortunately, Yangliu Town is the county town, and the eldest brother raised the foundation when the house where the girl lives is rebuilt. I remember that my eldest brother once said that as long as the river embankment does not collapse, the girl's place will not get into water!" Lin Erzhong put down the chopsticks in his hand. Although these words were said to Lin Shi, it seemed to comfort himself.
"Yes, although my son-in-law must be too busy to take care of the girl now, it is related to the safety of the girl and the young master. My son-in-law must have some arrangements! Let's go to the town office to see. Since my son-in-law has come to Donglin Town, he must have some arrangements." Although there were still two meat buns that he had not eaten, Lin Shi put down his chopsticks, reached out and put the meat buns into his arms, took out a corner of silver from his arms and slapped it on the table, stood up and walked out.
"It won't be enough. Guest, wait a moment, I'll make changes for you." The boss glanced at the corner of the silver on the table, and thought it looked like one or two, and hurriedly said.
But in a blink of an eye, Lin Erlin Shi rushed into the rain without looking back.
The boss picked up the silver on the table and silently recalled the conversation between the two diners in his heart. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, his eyes lit up, and his hands holding the silver tightened slightly.
The county magistrate came in a hurry and seemed to have done nothing. He even stood silently in the direction of the besieged Gaopo Village for a moment and then hurried away. Some bad rumors spread in Donglin Town.
At that time, the boss had some bad ideas, but at this moment he overturned those ideas.
As the two diners said just now, since the county magistrate came to Donglin Town in such heavy rain, how could he ignore so many besieged people?!
The county magistrate is in charge of the entire Nanzhu County. The continuous heavy rain not only falls in Donglin Town, but also has more important things that must be handled by the county magistrate.
Well, that must be true!
Lin Erlin Shi rushed to Donglin Town Office, but the town office was already busy.
Ye Shen did make some arrangements before leaving, and even left Qi Dabao in Donglin Town.
Although Qi Dabao has learned some skills, his skills are very limited.
In recent days, I have tried to defend countless methods and tried to rush through the mudslide area, but I have never succeeded. I even stuck himself into the mudslide several times.
This is not the first time Qi Dabao has followed Ye Shen to Donglin Town. People in the town office naturally know that although Qi Dabao is a servant of the Ye family, he is the one who grew up with Ye Shen. Qi Dabao was in danger several times and really scared people.
Qi Dabao, who was like a desperate man, stared at him. He did not dare to neglect these days, but he still achieved nothing after trying his best.
Seeing Lin Erlin Shi suddenly appeared in the town office, not to mention that Qi Dabao was so excited that he seemed to have seen a savior, even the people in the town office were so excited that they were about to burst into tears.
The situation was urgent and naturally there was no time to exchange greetings. Lin Er looked at Qi Dabao and asked Ye Shen's arrangements straight to the point.
Qi Dabao took out a bag of oil paper from his arms and handed it to Lin Er.
Lin Er opened the tightly wrapped oil paper bag, which contained the letters left by Ye Shen before leaving.
Lin Er looked carefully and handed the letter to Lin Shi. After Lin Shi read it, the two of them began to discuss in a low voice.
Chapter completed!
