Chapter 318 The Flood
After working hard for more than half a year, it can be regarded as seeing the food, and the village chief Zhou felt that he could go back to sleep for three days and three nights.
The flood did not cause panic to the villagers. We had food in our hands, so we should have a full meal before going home. The villagers carried the red stalks and saffron vines they were given, and went home chatting and laughing in the rain.
Take advantage of the rainwater under the eaves to clean the red acanthus and cook it directly in the pot. The family sat around the pot, the sweet smell of red glutinous rice slowly wafting out, and the already hungry stomach beat a big drum.
In Hongxing Village under the rain and fog, every household smells sweet. The same is true of Zhou Village Chief's family. He carried a large bowl full of red glutinous rice and ate it very sweetly.
He didn't put down the bowl until he hiccupped, and said to his family contentedly, "To be able to have today in the village, we must thank Comrade Xiao Li very much. If he hadn't provided us with seeds, our village would not have been able to receive thousands of catties of red glutinous rice.
If he needs our help in the future, he must do his best and not be an ungrateful person. "
"Dad, I think you are thinking too much. They are from the county town. What do you need our help for?"
"There is no equal value. Why do people help? It's best not to think about the pie in the sky! There must be a reason why he doesn't help other villages and has to choose our village."
Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. It is normal for Village Chief Zhou to have such thoughts. Why do people help you for no reason, no one would be so stupid!
Zhou Tao doesn't believe that they can help the county town from a rural area. Maybe this is because they do good deeds every day!
"You just need to remember this, and when he needs you in the future, he will naturally come to him." Village Chief Zhou shook his head and went back to the house to sleep. The young man had experienced too little.
Some things are still invisible! He had to go to sleep, and he couldn't keep up with the younger ones when he was old.
When the village chief Zhou was playing chess with Zhou Gong, the flood water rose to a distance of two meters from the big rock at the entrance of the village, and it stopped. The guard Zhou Song was so frightened that he turned around and ran back to the village, shouting.
"Run, the flood has risen to the entrance of the village, run, the flood has risen to the entrance of the village!"
The screams of woke up all the people in the village. After a while, they turned their backs and ran to the back of the village with their valuables on their backs.
"Zhou Song, where did the water rise?" Zhou Tao, who was awakened by the start, didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and was pulled out by Zhou Tao.
"The village chief, it's about to rise to a big rock, and it's still two meters away."
When everyone heard it, they haven't reached the position of the stone yet! What are you running now?
"Why didn't you make it clear? Didn't I tell you that you would only shout when you reach a big rock, it's really boring to do things. Don't you know that when the water rose before, it never covered a big rock once?
That is the treasure of the village. Go, go and have a look first, don't panic, don't stampede. Young and old stay in the village to get ready, and the young and strong follow me. "
Village Chief Zhou waved his hand, and all the young and middle-aged people in the village followed. The flood at the entrance of the village stayed at two meters, and someone shouted in surprise.
"The rain stopped!"
Everyone threw down their unique rain gear and looked up at the sky. It really stopped! They cheered loudly, the rain stopped, the flood would not rise, and they didn't have to leave the village.
At night, the flood level in Hongxing Village retreated to the river at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flooded area was muddy, and the confiscated red vines were covered with silt.
If you want to re-harvest the red acacia, you have to rinse the layer of silt with water, or wait until the silt is completely dry before going to the ground.
The taste of the red glutinous rice soaked in the flood is not as good as before, and it is not easy to cook soft, but the people of Hongxing Village did not dislike it for its bad taste. The stomach is not easy to fill, where will there be disgust.
Rinse the silt with river water over and over again, and the cleaned red glutinous rice can still be eaten.
Li Xiaoyu in the county town did not know about the flood in Hongxing Village. She only knew that the rainwater in her yard could not escape when it accumulated in the yard, and was about to flood into the house.
Due to continuous rain, in order to ensure the safety of students, the school is temporarily closed. Inform day students to wait for the rain to stop before going to school. Residential students on campus are managed in one place and are not allowed to go out.
The three brothers and sisters are worrying about the stagnant water in the yard. Because it hasn't rained for a long time, the scum in the drain has blocked the passage. It was raining heavily at this time, and no one thought of poking the gutter before.
The bamboo pole at home is not long enough, and it is not easy to find another long one for a while. Seeing the water in the yard, it was about to reach the threshold of the main room.
The three old people were also in a hurry and could not help.
Li Xiaoyu is also anxious, the family is about to be flooded with water. Suddenly, she thought that she might be able to use her spiritual sense to work. I am afraid that in this world, only she would use her spiritual sense to pierce the blockage of the sewer.
She manipulated the bamboo pole with her divine sense, penetrated into the gutter, controlled it with full attention, and finally cleared the blockage.
Li Chengji and Li Chengyi saw her standing in the water in a daze, Li Chengyi took two steps forward and was about to pull her up. He was grabbed by Li Chengji, shook his head at him, and made a silent gesture.
Li Chengyi didn't understand what the little girl was doing standing there, and didn't dare to disturb him, so he opened his mouth and asked silently, "What is the little girl doing?"
Li Chengji shook his head at him again, and stared at Li Xiaoyu closely, only to see her face getting paler and paler, and Li Chengji's heart was beating like a drum. Although he didn't know what the little sister was doing, he subconsciously felt that he couldn't disturb her.
Li Xiaoyu looked pale and said: "Second brother, it's done." Shaking his body, he was about to squat in the water.
"Little girl!" Li Chengji shouted, stepped forward, picked up Li Xiaoyu and ran to the main room. Put her on the chair and greet Li Chengyi who was still in the yard.
"Little brother, go and make a cup of sugar water for the little sister, use the one in the kettle, hurry up!"
Li Chengyi, who heard the shouting, was about to pick up the bamboo pole that Li Xiaoyu had thrown out, but he didn't pick it up, and only shouted to the main room: "Grandpa, pick up the bamboo pole, or it will be washed into the ditch by the water in a while. , not easy to pick up."
Li Cheng took the water and handed it to Li Xiaoyu, holding a cup for her to drink.
"Little sister, what else is uncomfortable?"
The three old men also looked at her with concern, fearing that she might have something good or bad. After drinking water, Li Xiaoyu was relieved and was humane to the people surrounding her.
"It's alright, just a little tired just now, just rest for a while!"
Li Chengji looked at her with distrust: "Don't do this in the future, I'll settle the account with you later!"
The water in the yard flowed out with the sewer, and the crisis at home was relieved, but Li Xiaoyu's crisis was not resolved. She knew that if she didn't tell her second brother clearly, she would not be able to pass his level.
The distressed Li Xiaoyu closed her eyes and pretended to be under the pretense of taking a rest. You can't wake her up ruthlessly!
