Chapter 274: Chapter 275 Power Outage

Mr. Niu’s mouth twitched, not as he had expected.

Mr. Sun looked at the light, then at Mr. Niu, and rose to switch it on—a pull, and the room instantly went dark.

Mr. Niu sat up straight, it wasn’t intentional.

The entire jurisdiction of Yu County had lost power, and employees in all the major factories were bustling about in their workplaces.

Click, all equipment lost power.

The whole of Yu County plunged into darkness, causing widespread panic.

"Why did the power go out all of a sudden?"

"Exactly, rain shouldn’t cause a power outage."

"Could it be that some electrical circuits have been washed away?" This person said, then frighteningly clamped their mouth shut.

The others too looked scared, thinking if that was really the case, this heavy rain was definitely not simple.

In the Gu family house, Mr. Gu was making a call when it suddenly cut off. His face grew uncomfortable, and soon someone knocked on the front door, "Director Gu, are you home?"

Gu Fuzhu quickly opened the door, and a man burst in, soaked to the skin but standing straight: "Director Gu, the dam in Li Jia Village has been breached. All the water from the dam is pouring out at a great speed. It will probably reach the county within an hour." The man spoke with a face full of urgency.

Director Gu, hearing this, grimaced and became urgent, "Aren’t the dams inspected every year? How could something like this happen?

Which Li Jia Village, quickly take people to rescue the nearby villagers and start organizing the citizens of the county."

"Dad, where are you going?" Mrs. Gu looked at the man leaving, her face full of worry, trying to stop him.

Director Gu looked at his daughter and wife, and finally determinedly said, "You two stay at home, don’t run around anywhere, I’m going out to check."

As a leader in Yu County, he had to think about the people. Yu County needed him, and he couldn’t just hide at home.

Xu Ying realized something was wrong when the river water had already reached waist height, frowning, "Wasn’t the dam already built? Why would the water level suddenly rise?"

"Where’s my eldest sister-in-law? Quick, go upstairs," Xu Ying shouted.

Xu reacted, seeing his wife in pain, he directly swept her into his arms and quickly carried her upstairs.

"Dad, Mom, go upstairs first, let my brothers take the things," Xu Ying worried about her elderly parents, as the water was forcefully rushing—her aging parents might not have enough strength.

In case they fell, it would be more severe than if a younger person fell.

Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu hurried upstairs with Xu Ying’s help, and once they reached the rooftop, they understood what had happened.

The dam in Li Jia Village had sprung a large hole, and the water from the dam was gushing out through it. The surrounding dams were all interconnected, and as the water level in Li Jia Village’s dam dropped,

The water from the other dams all flowed outward to Li Jia Village’s dam.

Mr. Xu, seeing this scene, trembled with anger. All the efforts of their villages were ruined because of Li Jia Village.

Xu Ying looked at the dam in Li Jia Village, clenching her fists in fury, was the tragedy of her past life going to strike again?

She suddenly felt despair—is redoing a lifetime still not enough to change anything?

"These people from Li Jia Village really deserve to die, their dam even leaks, if they had properly built it, how could it leak.

It’s like a single rat dropping ruining the whole pot of porridge."

"Yingying, it’s good you made money for everyone, otherwise we all would’ve been in trouble.

This new house is solid, and it’s two-storied; these couple of days won’t affect us."

Xu Ying looked at everyone as they spoke one after another when suddenly, the corners of her mouth bent slightly, no, she had changed a bit.

At least her family was there, her enemies had been punished, and everyone’s lives had improved because of her.

"That’s the new Director Gu; he’s leading people in blocking the water.

Let’s go too. The more people we have, the more strength we can muster."

Someone hollered, and many young, strong men hurriedly left the building, running towards the breached dam at Li Family Village.

"Mom and dad, wait here for me. I’ll go down and take a look."

As soon as Xu Ying said this, Mrs. Xu grabbed her firmly, her face full of objection, "Let them handle it, you’re a girl, you won’t be much help, and what if something happens to you? What would I do?"

Xu Ying smiled, "Mom, I can swim now, and in this period, my daughter has grown up quite a bit. I also want to contribute."

Mrs. Xu still wanted to say something, but Xu Ying quickly jumped into the water and headed towards Li Family Village.

Xu and Second Brother Xu quickly followed her.

"Keep piling the sandbags; the water flow has already decreased." Director Gu, seeing that the dam was getting blocked and the water flow reducing, finally smiled.

"Let a few people stay here to keep the dam blocked, and the rest come with me to other villages to help the elderly and disabled," Director Gu shouted.

"Why are you here? You a young lady aren’t needed here, go back home right away," Director Gu sternly said when he turned around and saw Xu Ying.

Xu Ying shook her head, "Director Gu, I might be a young lady, but I’m not less capable than you men.

I’ll go with you to rescue the others."

The men of Xujia Village’s faces fell immediately, "Yingying, you are smart, but this is physical labor. It’s too unsafe for a girl, please go back."

The people of Xujia Village, showing disapproval, scolded Xu Ying one after another, "Yingying, we don’t need you, go home.

We already have enough people, and other villages surely have strong young men too; everyone together will be fine."

Huo Chen also showed disapproval, "We need someone here in the village to take care of things. Without someone in charge, chaos ensues easily. You stay here and keep an eye on everyone, and if there’s any emergency, you might come up with a solution."

Eventually, Xu Ying was left behind. She threw some of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and healing medicine from her space into the water, hoping the medicine would dissolve and help someone.

The villagers of Li Family Village all shrank their heads, not daring to say a word.

The Li Jia Village Captain almost fell into the water as he watched Director Gu leave.

Xu Ying gave him a cold glance before swimming back home.

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was lying on the bed, her face deathly pale, holding back with great effort.

Xu Ying rushed over upon seeing this scene, "Sister-in-law, are you about to give birth?"

"About to give birth?" Mrs. Xu was startled, "Oh no, why did it have to be now when we can’t even find a midwife? How are we going to manage this?"

"Little sister, my stomach hurts, I think it’s time," Eldest Sister-in-law Xu said, her face pale and forehead sweaty as she clenched her fists, the pain evident on her face.

Xu Ying was stunned, not knowing how to deliver a baby and with the heavy rain, she was at a loss.

"Mom, what do we do?" Xu Ying looked to Mrs. Xu for help.

Mrs. Xu looked terrified; though she had given birth herself, there was always a midwife to help.

"This, this, oh, forget it, go get some scissors."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying hurriedly went downstairs and, after groping around for a bit, she found the scissors, knowing that alcohol was needed in hospitals for treating wounds.

Xu Ying then took out some alcohol from her space.
