Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Danger
The villagers’ expressions grew increasingly grim, "They have been relocating gradually, but with the elderly and the young, some can’t keep up, this only treats the symptoms, not the cause."
Xiao Jinghuai glanced toward the mountain top and asked, "How much time is left?"
"About... an hour."
"Gosh! Where exactly is Mr. Di at such a critical moment? Why is he just not here..."
Song Song originally thought it shouldn’t be a big deal, fix the dam and it should be fine, right?
Why do they have to evacuate the villagers? Is it really that serious?
Perhaps the villagers’ voices were too loud, Di Wujiang and Wen Ziyue, who were originally chopping wood in another room, also came out. He frowned and asked, "What’s going on?"
The villager was about to reply emotionally, but Xiao Jinghuai darkly interjected, "The dam gate was destroyed."
After saying this, he turned to the villagers and said, "Quickly get the others to relocate, as many as possible. As for the dam, we’ll find a way...we’ll definitely fix it within an hour!"
At this point, Di Wujiang and Wen Ziyue frowned deeply, while the villagers, having received Xiao Jinghuai’s instructions, went back to relocate others.
But he only remembered as he walked halfway, muttering, "Hey! Who is that person?"
Why does he inexplicably follow his words?
The villager glanced back once more, then scratched his head and left. His grandfather had said some people naturally carry an emperor’s presence, and their every word and deed would make others bow in submission...
It seems like he was talking about that person just now!
Now is not the time to think about this, relocating the villagers is more important.
After that, Xiao Jinghuai quickly called over Xing Quan, ordering him to take Song Song away first...
Song Song, still unclear of the situation, asked, "Why do we have to leave? We can just repair the dam!"
Xiao Jinghuai thought the girl sometimes being a step slow was a good thing, reaching out to pinch her chubby little face, "Just in case, it’s better to relocate first. Don’t worry, it’s only an hour."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"..."
Di Wujiang also ordered, "Secretary Wen, go with them."
"No." Wen Ziyue quickly refused with a determined look, "I want to stay and help you guys—"
Now is a race against time, there isn’t even enough time to explain clearly, Di Wujiang’s brows furrowed deeply, "You, a woman staying here, will just be in the way."
"Mr. Di—"
Xiao Jinghuai suddenly called out.
Di Wujiang was puzzled, "What’s the matter, President Xiao?"
"Just want to remind Mr. Di, you don’t seem to be familiar with water, so please lead them to leave together. The more people there are at times like this, the more chaotic it gets!"
Except for Song Song, the others knew the danger of repairing the dam, the person must be excellent in water, able to hold their breath underwater for a long time.
Di Wujiang probably understood what Xiao Jinghuai meant, "... Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Alright then! I believe President Xiao can handle it."
Xiao Jinghuai responded with a calm smile, as if everything was settled.
After that, Di Wujiang took Song Song and the others to evacuate safely, they walked directly downhill to a town below to take shelter.
But if Xiao Jinghuai couldn’t fix the dam within an hour, the entire town would also be in jeopardy.
By then, it would probably be a scene like the flooding of Jinshan—
The people in town should have also received the news, continuously evacuating.
Song Song looked at the panic-stricken people, suddenly realizing this is not so simple.
"... Is repairing the dam really dangerous?"
