A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 16 Heavy Rain in the South

Today they arrived in Zoucheng. The sky was very gloomy. The master and his two disciples found a restaurant to stay in. As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, a storm suddenly hit. The sky seemed to have a big hole in it, and endless water shot towards the ground like a hail of bullets. Soon the water on the ground turned into a river.

The downpour seemed to destroy the world. The howling wind lashed the rain against the walls, making the windows whimper like someone sobbing in the dark. The rain continued all day without a break. Yun Jizi told Jingze to write a letter to the emperor, warning him of the possibility of flooding in Zoucheng and asking him to prepare for disaster preparedness.

The water on the street was half a meter high, and the three of them prayed to God to stop the rain. If it continued, the people's houses would be flooded and the adobe walls would collapse.

Qiqi took out a speedboat from the space and put it in the water in front of the hotel. Yun Jizi and Jingze didn't ask much. Zhou Jingze knew that the junior sister had a secret, so he often took out some hot meals to eat on the way. He knew that the junior sister was extraordinary.

Zhou Jingze first asked his junior sister how to use the assault boat, and she learned it in no time. The three of them put on raincoats and drove the assault boat carefully forward, shouting with a loudspeaker as they drove, urging people to move quickly because the rain was getting heavier and the dangerous building would collapse.

They soon arrived at the prefectural government office, where the prefect was organizing his soldiers to put on straw raincoats and go out to the streets to take a look.

Zhou Jingze flashed the prince's token to the prefect, frightening him so much that he quickly knelt. "Stop the formality! Organize people to the streets and move those living in low-lying areas out quickly. Send everyone you have in the mansion. If anyone refuses to move, carry them out on your backs. This is an order," the prince said.

Qiqi told the prefect that they could take down the wooden boards in their house and tie them into a raft to save people.

There is a boat in Qiqi's space, but the road is complicated, so Zhou Jingze and Qiqi drove the speedboat towards the deep water area.

Yun Jizi used his Qinggong skills to fly on the roof to see if anyone needed help and notify Qiqi and the others.

"Help!" An old woman was holding her little granddaughter and shouting for help at the window. Her son and daughter-in-law were working as helpers and had not returned yet. The old woman was so anxious that her hands were shaking. It didn't matter if she died. Her little granddaughter was only two years old and had just been in the world for two years. She had not yet enjoyed a good life when she encountered a rainstorm and flood disaster.

Who will save my granddaughter? If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain to my son and daughter-in-law. Taoist Master Yunji heard it and followed the sound. He saw the grandmother and granddaughter, and the old lady was calling for help. The Taoist Master immediately notified Qiqi and the others to come to the rescue.

Qiqi and Jingze arrived at the old lady's residence and immediately drove towards the old lady's house. The water was a bit fast and they couldn't get close to it after several attempts. Zhou Jingze jumped into the water and secured the assault boat with a rope.

After breaking open the window and carrying the little girl out, Zhou Jingze rescued the elderly woman, whose legs were numb from standing for so long that he couldn't move. He had no choice but to jump into the house and lift the old woman out, while Qiqi met him outside. The old woman was rescued and put on the assault boat. He expressed his gratitude to the benefactor.

Zhou Jingze's pants were dripping wet, and the old woman's lower body was also soaked. Qiqi felt a little distressed. She quickly took two blankets, one for the old woman and one for Jingze. She also took out two pills, stuffed one into the old woman's mouth to prevent her from catching a cold, and put the other into the mouth of her senior brother.

The cloud machine rose and fell on the roof to see if there were any trapped villagers around.

I saw some villagers dismantling their wooden beds and tying them into rafts, while others turned over tables and let the children sit on them and push them upstream.

Some children were so frightened by the flood that they burst into tears. Qiqi passed by and gave them a piece of candy. Pigs and sheep were also washed out. Some people tied up their cattle and sheep with ropes and led them away, as they were their family's food.

In the face of a disaster, people are insignificant. No matter how great their abilities are, they cannot resist natural and man-made disasters. After a major disaster, there will inevitably be an epidemic. These aspects all need to be prevented. Qiqi thought of the method of burning lime. I wonder if it has been promoted to this place. I will wait until the prefect to ask about it so that we can take preventive measures as soon as possible.

On the way back to the government office, they rescued two mothers and two fathers and sons. The assault boat was full of people, so Zhou Jingze got off to push it, and Qiqi drove in the front.

Arriving at the government office, Qiqi handed the assault boat to Jingze and went to find the prefect. The rescued people were squatting on the ground, shivering with cold. The front and back yards of the prefecture were filled with rescued villagers.

Qiqi found the prefect at the doctor's office in the backyard. The prefect then discussed with the doctor and boiled a large pot of water with Chinese medicine to dispel the cold, and let the villagers drink it.

Qiqi also took out some Chinese herbs that could be boiled together and drunk to prevent the epidemic. Qiqi asked each courtyard to light several torches, one for warmth, one for boiling herbs, and the other for lighting at night.

The prefect nodded. Qiqi asked the prefect again, "Has our prefecture promoted the method of burning lime?" The prefect replied that it had just been promoted and that a small amount had been produced and was stored in the backyard wing.

The prefect took Qiqi to the place where the lime was placed.

Qiqi personally taught the prefect and his servants how to make lime powder, how to spread it on the ground so they couldn't pick it up, and how to disinfect it to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The court doctor nodded beside them, saying, "That's a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?"

Qiqi told the prefect to first sprinkle lime over the government office, especially where the wounded were, and then solve the problem of feeding the victims.

The prefect immediately understood the situation and ordered the chief steward to take out all the grain from the treasury first and distribute it as porridge and grain. If there was still not enough, he would open the granary and distribute grain. The prefect immediately made arrangements.

"This is Panax notoginseng powder for treating external injuries, and this is thistle, I'll give you some." Qiqi took it out and handed it to the palace doctor.

The court doctor took it and looked at it. "You are Jiang Qiqi. You planted Panax notoginseng and thistles at the border and burned lime to repair the city walls, right? They say you are a fairy who has descended to earth. I thank you on behalf of the people of Zoucheng."

"They have all exaggerated. This is what I should do. After all, I am a citizen of the Great Zhou." "Yes, we are all citizens of the Great Zhou," the people around shouted, "Long live the Great Zhou Dynasty, long live the emperor!"

Qiqi also shouted: "Let us work together to overcome the difficulties." Work together to overcome the difficulties.

Zhou Jingze also came to find Qiqi. He gave the assault boat to the secret guards and asked them to rescue people.

"Qiqi, who is Qiqi? The old Taoist priest asked me to call you. There is a collapsed house over there that hits someone. I want you to go quickly," a villager said. "You lead the way. Brother, let's go together." Soon we arrived at the scene of the accident. It was a tragic scene with collapsed houses.

Come on, there's someone here, come on, someone's buried here too, come on, there's a child crying, there's someone down there, the cries of a child, the shouts of an adult, the groans of pain. It's heartbreaking to watch. The rain keeps falling, but no one retreats.

Taoist Master Yunji was organizing an excavation and rescue operation. One villager had his head broken and was bleeding, and another had his arm broken. The old Taoist master bandaged them both.

"Master, I'm here." Qiqi then took the medicine from the master's hand, applied it to the villager, and bandaged him. He also used acupuncture to stop the bleeding of the villager with a severe head bleed, and stuffed an anti-inflammatory and hemostatic pill into the villager's mouth to prevent him from bleeding and passing out.

They found a mother and child, and everyone rushed over to carry them out. The court doctor felt the woman's pulse and shook his head.

The boy was fine, and his mother held him in her arms, with only minor scrapes. The little boy cried loudly and shook his mother.

"Mother. Mother, I want mother." The court doctor asked his men to take the little boy out of his mother's arms. The mother held him very tightly.

Qiqi went over and said, "We will arrange for someone to take care of your son. If you hear this, just let him go."

The mother finally let go of her hands, which dropped to the ground. The crying little boy was sent to the government office to be taken care of.

Qiqi's hands were stained with blood, but she didn't bother to wipe them off as she went to tend to the other injured villagers. This was a low-lying slum, and the houses were all made of adobe bricks. The long soaking of the adobe bricks had caused many of the houses to collapse. Five villagers were dead, seven were missing, twenty-five were seriously injured, and fifty-three were slightly injured.

Everyone was in a heavy mood, and the prefect himself came over. He organized personnel to transport the wounded to the government school, which was requisitioned as a clinic.

The rain continued to pour, soaking the three of them. All the injured had been treated. Qiqi sat down exhausted on the ground, as did the master. He quickly gave the master a bottle of spiritual spring water. The court physician fainted from exhaustion. Qiqi came over, channeling some spiritual energy into him and giving him some spiritual spring water to drink. The court physician slowly woke up.
