Chapter 207

Looking at the flow of water in the valley to the underground river, everyone can't help but show the expression of relief.

The patriarch said, "well, let's go back and have a rest. Let's get the latrine and bathhouse out together tomorrow."

Everyone nodded, shivered and went home.

Not long after Xu Qinggang returned to the cave, many women came to see her and asked her if she had any medicine to dispel the cold.

Among all the families, Xu Qing's storage is the most abundant. Of course, other people don't know about it. We just think that Xu Qing even has wine. Maybe she has prepared a lot of medicinal materials. After all, she and Li Changting have been to the capital. How can they not bring back some useful things along the way.

"I have medicinal materials. Please tell me the symptoms first." Xu Qingdao.

"It's just a runny nose and a cough."

"My family has a fever."

"We have to dig a tunnel tomorrow. How can that be good?"

Women, I'll tell you what you say.

Xu Qingdian said he knew: "you go back first, and I'll send you the medicine later. This time it's for the village, so I won't accept your food."

"What's the point?"

"It's not for nothing?"

"Li Changting of your family has not spared no effort, but you have to spend money every time..."

The women's face is not good, but their tone is mixed with joy. No one can tell that they are being polite. Xu Qing is eager to say that it doesn't matter. This is right, so that they can accept it with ease.

Xu Qing has always been a person who doesn't play cards according to the principle of cards. She pretended that she didn't hear the politeness of women and said with a smile, "Oh, if you want to give it to me, I bought all these medicinal materials with grain. To tell you the truth, I'm reluctant to give them away if it's not for the sake of the village."

Women:

Women just want to slap themselves.

However, after they left, Xu Qing went door-to-door to deliver medicinal materials with bamboo baskets on his back, but he didn't collect everyone's food.

The next day, in addition to a few more severe cold, the rest of the men are carrying hoes continue to dig tunnels.

Last night, it rained heavily all night, and the rain weakened during the day. At noon, there was a hazy drizzle left.

Taking advantage of the weakening rain, we quickly dug out the latrine and bathhouse, put on boards and tied curtains, and the simple latrine and bathhouse were ready.

"Should the rain stop?"

"I'm not sure. It's unusually severe. It's raining all spring. As a result, it's dry again in summer."

"God forbid another drought!"

A few men in the newly dug cave mouth have a lot of discussion, and finally neatly and uniformly bow to God three times.

It rained drizzly all afternoon. Just when we thought it was going to stop, it began to rain heavily in the evening.

And the rain is endless, endless rain lingering for half a spring, until the weather gets warmer, to the day of all kinds of food, the rain in the sky is still falling.

At this time, the water level in the valley rose by more than half a meter more than half a month ago. A lot of water flowed along the ditch to the underground river, and the water level in the ditch was about to overflow the ground.

Every day, everyone was terrified, for fear that the cave would be flooded if they didn't pay attention.

The rain is big and small. It's like a child with a bad temper. It's impossible to grow the land in this weather. The seeds have to be soaked in the soil.

The most worrying thing is not farming, but the flash flood on their side!

At first, everyone thought that there was an earthquake. Later, the patriarch sent someone to go around and found that on the other side of the mountain opposite them, the mountain torrent broke down half of the mountain, and the torrential flood flooded the valley.

There is a fork in the upper reaches to block the mountain torrents. Most of the water flows to the other side of the mountain, and only a small part flows to their side of the depression.

Now that the flood has gone to the opposite side, they are safe.

We all have a lingering fear, while waiting for the rain to stop.

The weather is getting warmer, and it's time not to wear cotton padded clothes. Seeing that the spring planting time has been missed, the food at home is getting less and less, and everyone is very anxious.

The patriarch had a plan in mind for a long time. Waiting for it to be less cold outside, he asked Li Jing to call Li Changting and Li Zhuang over and let the three young people go back to the village to have a look.

Mainly to see how the fields in the village are.

The three brought dry food and water. The mountain road was too slippery to walk. It took them more than an hour to get to the village.

By this time, the village had changed greatly.

Seeing the completely flooded village, Li Jing and Li Zhuang were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses.

Last year, because of the plague burning the village, all the houses were burned to only one layer of wall. Now, because of the rain, even the last wall no longer exists. It's broken everywhere, and there's no trace of the past.Not only the village is flooded, but now the whole valley is flooded. Except for the place with a little higher terrain, all the others are submerged under muddy muddy water. It's hard to tell where they are.

Three people heavy heart in the hillside around, but found a few unexpected joy.

Those high-lying vegetable fields that have not been flooded actually grow some wild vegetables and a few scattered small seedlings!

"Brother, look at your vegetable field. There are many vegetables growing in it." Li Jing pointed to the green nearby and exclaimed in surprise.

Li Changting's house is on the highest ground. Next to his house is a large vegetable field. At that time, the climate was dry. Neither he nor Xu Qing cared about the vegetable field any more. The vegetables dried up later.

Now some small vegetable seedlings, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and radishes, have grown in the vegetable fields. They have been planted in the vegetable garden in 708, probably because the roots are hidden in the soil and have not been dried to death. After being moistened by the spring rain, they are now growing again.

If you look at other people's gardens, you won't be so lucky. If you can have one or two seedlings, you'll be lucky. Li Changting thinks it might be related to the fact that his garden is often watered with spring water.

Li Jing picked a handful of wild vegetables on the ground. Before, they couldn't even look at them, but now they have become rare treasures.

The three went around the village and returned to the cave before dark to report the situation in the valley to the patriarch.

The situation in the village was more serious than the patriarch had imagined. The whole valley was flooded. In this case, they couldn't go back and had to stay in the cave.

When everyone was worried, the next day the rain stopped and the sun came out!

They have never seen the sun so excited!

When the rain stopped, even the water potential in the valley decreased a little. People went out of the cave one after another and went to the mountain to have a look at the vegetable fields they turned last year.

Not surprisingly, after being washed away by the rain for more than a month, the soil on the mountain has been washed down layer after layer. Now even the stones in the ground have been washed out by the rain.
