Chapter 11122
Wanghai County, Changping Village.
Late at night, most of the people in the village were shouted out by Yang Huazhong and Luo Fengtang.
On such a night of the first lunar month, everyone had eaten and drank enough and got under the quilt early to go to sleep. When they were suddenly called out, they felt a little resentful.
But because the other party was Li Zheng, Yang Huazhong, Luo Fengtang, Daan, and several village elders, even if they had resentment in their hearts, these villagers still dared not speak out.
However, when they heard the news brought by Yang Huazhong and the others, any grievances they had were all frightened away.
This one is so scary that even if you let him go back to bed again, he won’t be able to sleep!
"The water in the river has risen? I don't believe it, I want to see it with my own eyes!"
It was already late at night, the rain was not that light, but the thunder and lightning had disappeared.
So a large number of villagers came to the river behind the village to check the water level.
Yang Ruoqing also came with the others wearing a raincoat. She had no intention of sleeping tonight.
And before coming over, she discussed with Luo Fengtang and sent secret guards out of the village overnight.
In addition, Yang Ruoqing summoned the twenty or thirty young and strong men from the village's transportation team together and arranged tasks for them.
After doing this, she came to the river.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and everything was hazy, but the rain was still falling, and the rain was a little less intense than before.
There are many villagers standing on the river dam, not only from Changping Village, but also from Lijia Village, and from nearby Yujia Village and Hejia Village...
Everyone looked at the rolling water in the river. The color is completely washed down from the mud and water from the mountains.
"There must have been a flash flood in the mountains ahead, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!" An experienced old villager speculated as he observed the muddy-smelling river water.
Yang Ruoqing saw that the water level of the river had risen a little higher. Compared with the height in the middle of the night, the river water was now almost level with the dam, which was only fifty centimeters away.
The distance of fifty centimeters, if the rain continues and the upstream continues to discharge flood water, the distance of fifty centimeters will only take half a day.
"We can't let the river overflow the dam. If it overflows the dam and pours into the crop fields, our harvest will be gone!" Yang Huazhong and several village elders got together to discuss it, and then quickly mobilized the villagers to go home. Get your hoes and shovels and come over and do two things along the river dam.
The first is to dredge the blocked areas where the rivers are connected to the rivers, ditches and fields, dig out the aquatic plants and remove the stones, so that the river water can smoothly flow away from the rivers and fields through the underground channels, easing the Pressure in the riverbed.
At the same time, every household, men, women, old and young, went to work digging soil and sending a steady stream of soil to the river dam to increase the water-retaining height of the river dam...
"These things are done. It’s too late, I don’t know if it’s too late!” One of the village elders looked at all this with worry.
Yang Huazhong said: "No matter if it is too late or not, at least do it. If you do nothing and just watch the water level rise, it will be even more disturbing!"
Everyone agrees with what Yang Huazhong said. Although farmers have been counting on God for food and good weather for generations, they have also never stopped fighting against God, various natural disasters and bad weather. This bad weather has never stopped. In this environment, try your best to fight for a small piece of world for your own survival!
This kind of hope and struggle never stops, using intelligence and collaboration, and hard-working hands to create opportunities to survive, and to reproduce on this land from generation to generation.
This is also the fundamental reason why humans distinguish other living beings.
"Qing'er, leave this to us. You haven't slept all night, go back and get some sleep!"
Luo Fengtang has been busy among the crowd, scheduling and directing. Sometimes he rolls up his sleeves When he goes into battle in person, he is strong and has good physical fitness, and is a good hand in leading troops in battles. At the same time, he does the hard work of repairing bridges, roads, dredging and dams, which is also neat and tidy. His one labor force is equivalent to three or five others! "You are almost as busy as a top, how can you still find time to come and care about me?" Yang Ruoqing took out a handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to wipe the muddy water mixed with sweat and rain on his face.
Luo Fengtang held her wrist, "I'll take you back. You go back and sleep for a while. Don't worry about things here!"
"No rush, I'll go back later."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of buffalo coming from the upper reaches of the river.
“Moo~”
"Tangyaozi, did you hear that?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.
“I heard it, it seemed like the sound of a buffalo.” Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I heard it last night, several times. What's going on?"
"Moo~"
A second cry sounded. .
Although the sound sounded like a buffalo, everyone grew up in the village. They had heard the roar of buffalo countless times.
"It sounds like a buffalo, but a buffalo cannot make such a domineering sound."
Many villagers on the river dam have heard the cry, and everyone stopped their hands. work, or slowed down the work in their hands, looking in the direction of the sound, and talking.
“This sound is too loud, it seems to be coming from the water.”
“You are just talking nonsense, what else can there be in the water besides fish, shrimps and turtles? Besides, The riverbed in this section of the river dried up a few years ago, and we have eaten away at the fish, shrimps, and turtles, and there is nothing left in the water!”
"You said there is nothing, then there is nothing? There is something in the reservoir!"
While everyone was arguing endlessly, the river water that was not too fast suddenly became rapid again, and the water flowed continuously from Zhengjia Village Down the road, we rushed towards the Lijiacun village like thousands of troops. Rushing downstream in the direction...
"Let's go upstream and have a look. I'm afraid the reservoir is broken!"
Someone suggested, so the guys left some people behind. If the dam is too high to continue dredging in place, most people will go upstream to find the source.
Luo Fengtang wanted to continue sending Yang Ruoqing back to the village, but due to the changes at this moment, Yang Ruoqing would definitely not go back to the village.
"Tangyaozi, let's go and see what happens!"
"Hey, I'm worried that you won't be able to bear the fatigue and haven't slept a wink all night..." Luo Fengtang was still struggling with this matter.
Yang Ruoqing said: "With the current situation, I can't sleep even if I go back. I might as well stay here to find out what's going on. Let's go. Follow me quickly!"
Big guy The children walked all the way up the river dam. As they went up, the river water went down, just like on a two-way road, the two sides passed each other.
At this time, it was already dawn, and many things washed down from the upper reaches of the turbid water, but most of them were water, trees and leaves, and nothing related to human daily necessities was seen.
This gives everyone some peace of mind. What are you most afraid of?
The most fearful thing is the pots and pans washed down from the upstream, the clothes and shoes and socks washed down, and the floating villagers washed down. That is really panic!
