Chapter 1029 Is the hero after money?
The bearded man's gaze fell on the sharp broadsword in Lu Qingqing's hand.
Then, noticing the bow and arrows on her back, he said cautiously:
"Please don't be impulsive, let's talk this out!"
What brings you here today, sir? Are you seeking wealth?
Don't worry, we'll give you all the money we have right away!
Lu Qingqing glanced at the leaf cards on the table and the silver coins next to them, then plopped down on the floor.
"I'm not here for money! I'm here to ask you something!"
As she sat down, the knife in her hand moved slightly.
Niu Lao Er felt the knife trembling against his neck, and was so frightened that he almost fainted.
Hearing that she was just asking about something, she almost burst into tears.
You can just ask, why did you have to use a knife?
That blade almost sliced his neck!
His life matters too!
He was internally ranting and raving, but dared not utter a single word on the surface.
Across from her, the bearded man looked even more nervous when she said she wasn't after money.
"Good sir, ask me anything you want, and I promise to answer everything I know!"
Lu Qingqing glanced at Niu Lao Er beside her and tapped his shoulder with the back of her knife.
“I was just trying to talk to you nicely, but you think I'm just bored and have nothing better to do.”
Okay, now you repeat what I just said!
If it's not explained well, or if any important information is omitted.
I'm not sure if I can hold this knife steady!
Upon hearing this, Niu Lao Er nearly knelt down.
Good heavens! This evil spirit was so polite when he knocked on the door; he thought it was just some ordinary person.
And who was really listening to him?
Now it's his turn to speak, but what can he possibly say?
He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
But seeing Lu Qingqing's expression, he didn't dare not speak up.
My brain raced, trying to recall what I had just heard, and I stammered out the gist of what had happened.
He spoke earnestly, and the other three listened attentively as well.
After listening to everything, I finally understood why Lu Qingqing had come.
This time, all four of them were visibly more relaxed.
A person who has the kindness to care for the people downstream is not a bad person.
The man in charge glared at Niu Lao Er and cursed:
"It's all your fault! This hero came to inform us about the situation upstream of Yingjiang, and what was your attitude?!"
If you had spoken properly, none of that would have happened!
The man in charge spoke as he stepped forward with a forced smile.
"My lord, it's all a misunderstanding!"
I have carefully noted down everything you said.
"Don't worry, I'll go to Xiazhou City right away and report the situation."
After speaking, his gaze fell on the knife next to Niu Lao Er's head.
Upon hearing his words, Lu Qingqing lifted the broadsword and placed it on the table.
Upon seeing this, the person in charge's smile became more genuine.
Looking at Niu Lao Er, who was still standing there dumbfounded, he slapped him on the head.
"Hurry up and apologize to the hero! Look at the mess you've made!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Lao Er also felt somewhat aggrieved.
Isn't that how everyone is normally?
That is to say, he was unlucky this time and ran into a jinx.
But Niu Lao Er wasn't stupid; he knew the person in charge was trying to smooth things over for him, so he obediently bowed.
"Good sir, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please forgive me this time!"
Lu Qingqing glanced at the four people in the room and waved her hand.
"The situation upstream is critical. You need to send someone to Xiazhou City to report on the situation. Go quickly!"
By the way, how's the condition of our dike? Have you checked on it?
Upon hearing this, the person in charge quickly pointed to a man.
"Fei Wu, go and fetch the horse, and quickly report to the government office everything the hero just said."
Fei Wu wanted to say something after hearing what he said, but after being glared at by the steward, he immediately agreed obediently.
Seeing Fei Wu leave, the steward took a raincoat and led Lu Qingqing to the embankment.
At this moment, the huge flow of water at the dam made a loud noise.
The manager's voice was completely drowned out by the sound of the flowing water.
At this moment, the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly due to the impact of the massive water flow.
Seeing the dam that sits steadily in the turbulent waters, even Lu Qingqing, who is used to seeing modern water conservancy projects, was somewhat shocked.
This dam is absolutely magnificent!
This was the largest water conservancy project she had seen since she transmigrated.
She and the few people from the river management office stood on the bank, looking like tiny ants, utterly insignificant.
Looking at the dam, she felt more confident that Yingjiang could hold off the flood.
Pulling her thoughts back, she looked at the dam in front of her.
The main gate bridge of this dam is made of granite and has an inwardly concave arc shape.
After decades of erosion, signs of wear and tear are now visible.
The bridge has three gates, which, together with the lifting rails, are used to control the water flow.
Even though the water level in Yingjiang had already exceeded the warning line, the dam remained firmly in place, like a ferocious beast.
Seeing that she had been watching for a while, the person in charge gestured for them to step back and talk later.
Lu Qingqing followed him back, and after walking quite a distance, she could finally hear his voice clearly.
