Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Wuyue Village was located downstream of the Fushui River, with two other villages further down. Yu San and his men split into two groups and searched along the flooded banks. Guo Xinjun led his men upwards, finding a relatively safe and elevated spot to anchor.

The people brought were divided into three groups. One group built the shed, one group cut bamboo and made baskets, and the other group went to the surrounding area to pick up stones and search for vines.

"Sister Qingzhu, please go sit in the carriage. The rain is so heavy, don't get wet or you will catch a cold." Qingzhu took down the iron pot she brought with her, and when Guo Xinming saw it, he asked her to get in the carriage.

Qingzhu replied, "Brother Guo, how can you be so delicate? Besides, it's okay if you're not wearing a straw raincoat. I'll take down this pot to collect some rainwater. When the shack is ready, I'll boil some cold-repellent medicine for you to drink. You can't stand being wrapped in the rain for a long time."

After hearing this, Guo Xinming stopped trying to persuade her. He just told her to be careful and went to help.

They came fully prepared, bringing almost everything with them, and were able to work smoothly. Although these precious young men had lived a life of luxury since childhood, they were surprisingly patient and never complained about the hardship or fatigue.

Soon the shack took shape. Qingzhu found a few large stones to build a simple stove and moved the iron pot in. However, the firewood was a little wet and it was difficult to start a fire. It took a while to get anything started.

The men who had come up the mountain to collect the stones had brought with them a dozen or so affected villagers. They were lucky because they were close to the mountain when the dam collapsed, and instinctively ran uphill. They had nothing, were caught in the rain for most of the night, and were cold and hungry. If the men who had come up the mountain to collect the stones hadn't met them, they would probably have hidden until dawn.

Seeing that they were all younger, everyone felt even more depressed, and it was the same when they thought about it carefully.

Qingzhu made a pot of cold-relieving medicine and gave them some dry food. He also built another fire and asked them to huddle around it to warm themselves. After they had rested, the villagers helped to weave baskets and twist ropes.

At daybreak, Yu San, who had come to rescue people, had not returned yet, so no one stayed any longer. They left a few people here to guard the place, and Guo Xinjun led the others to the village.

When they reached the breached dam and saw that the hole had widened a bit, Meng Jinhuai said, "This breach needs to be sealed as soon as possible. How can the breached dam withstand such a soft structure?"

"The bamboo baskets we made yesterday were not too big. We filled the nearby areas first and then the distant areas," said Yu Xian'an.

Everyone worked together to fill the woven bamboo baskets with stones and threw them into the rushing river, splashing countless water.

"Gentlemen, take your men to guard the dike here. Be careful and don't act rashly. I'll go to the village to rescue people." Xuan Li gave them a few instructions, left two men with good skills to protect them, and he took his men to the village.

Seeing this, Yu Jinan and Guo Xinming followed Xuanwen into the village to rescue people, and Qingzhu also followed. They could not help much here.

Meng Jinhuai just asked them to pay attention to safety and protect Qingzhu, and to be cautious in everything.

The further Xuan Li and his companions went up, the more disheartened they felt. The village was completely destroyed, and one could imagine how destructive the flood that broke through the dike was. At night, their vision was obstructed and they couldn't see clearly. Now, in the daylight, everywhere they saw was devastation, and they felt disheartened.

I hadn't seen anyone along the way, so I thought everyone had been rescued. After walking for half an hour, I met Yu San and his group, who had already rescued many villagers.

After greeting Xuan Li and Qing Zhu, they went forward to take care of the wounded. Qing Zhu's technique was not very good but she was strong-willed. When some of the wounded had their skin and flesh turned inside out, she just frowned slightly and applied medicine and bandaged them without saying a word. This made everyone admire her.

"Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor. Please save my little grandson. He is stuck in the water by a dead tree and cannot move. Please save him." After being rescued, an old woman cried and begged them to save her little grandson.

Yu San helped the person up: "Auntie, please get up quickly. We will save you."

A lot of the mountain here has been washed away, and loose soil falls into the water from time to time. They cannot stay here for long, so Yu San arranged for people to take the wounded away first.

The old woman refused to leave because she wanted to save her grandson. She was the only one left at home with the child, who was left behind by her son and daughter-in-law at the risk of their lives. She kept begging for help to save the child.

"Auntie, we will definitely save the child. You should go with them first. It's not safe here." Yu San persuaded again.

The old woman also knew this, but she couldn't explain to her son and daughter-in-law unless she made sure her grandson was safe.

"I will stand far away and watch so as not to cause trouble to my benefactors. I just ask you to save my little grandson." The old woman's voice trembled and tears flowed.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade her, everyone just asked her to stand further away and watch from a safe place.

After walking a few steps up, they found the child stuck between a broken tree and the mountain, unable to move. After being soaked in cold water for so long, the child was also a little listless.

"Child, child, don't sleep. The uncles are here to save you." They were standing more than three feet away from the water surface, and the soil was loose and it was difficult to get close.

When the child in the water heard the cry, he only raised his eyes slightly, then drooped them again.

"I'm afraid this child won't be able to hold on for much longer." Xuan Li said in a deep voice.

Everyone was anxious and at a loss as to how to rescue him. If he was still conscious, they could throw the rope down, but the child looked unconscious and had no foothold.

Yu Jinan couldn't bear it any longer, so he said anxiously, "Tie the rope around my waist. You guys hold this end, and I'll go down and bring the child up."

"No, you don't know how to swim, so how can you get down? Stay here and I will go down." Yu San rejected it without thinking.

"Uncle San, you haven't rested for a night and your strength is almost exhausted. I still have enough strength. Even if I don't know how to swim, the kid doesn't look far away. I can reach him in a few strokes. You just need to pull us up quickly." Yu Jinan insisted.

"No, there's no room for negotiation." Yu San's face rarely turned serious.

After taking a look at the situation, he thought it would be great if Lao Shi was here. He was the best at lightness skills. Now they were all scattered everywhere to rescue people, so only he could take this risk.

Without saying anything more, he took out a few straw ropes, tied them together, tied one end to the tree and the other end to his waist, then jumped into the water and swam towards the child.

As soon as Yu San entered the water, the oncoming current knocked him off balance. He choked on some water before finally catching his breath, then swam towards the child. Without being able to observe his surroundings, he was hit hard from behind by a log carried by the current, instantly becoming dizzy and losing his strength.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several people on the shore who were watching the situation closely worked together to pull the person up.

"Xuan Li, come and let Uncle San take a look." The person was pulled up, and Xuan Li hurried forward to check.

Yu San said slowly: "I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Let's do it again."

After saying this, he was about to stand up, but he lost his balance and fell down again.

"Uncle San, don't be so stubborn. It's not appropriate for you to go into the water now."

Yu Jinan said to the people on the shore, "Is there anyone among you who knows how to swim?"

Everyone shook their heads. These people were followers brought from home. The villagers were taken away by Yu Shi and his men, and none of them knew how to swim.

Qingzhu stepped forward and said, "I can swim, I'll go."

How could Yu Jinan and the others agree to this? They directly rejected it. Qingzhu wanted to say more but they didn't want to listen.

"Erlang Jun, even though we don't know how to swim when we go down, at least we have some skills. If there is any danger, we can pull us up quickly." One of them said.

After saying that, he untied the rope from Yu San, tied it around his waist, and jumped into the water. As soon as he entered the water, his head was submerged. Yu Jinan saw this and asked someone to pull him up quickly.

A few people wanted to take the risk again, but were rejected by Yu Jinan. He brought them up by himself and he couldn't bear to see them die in vain.
