Chapter 166 The flood is coming, Xiao Haizi...
After Li Long went on a short treasure hunt trip of less than an hour, he harvested more than 40 French coins and gold yuan coupons - mainly because there was a little bit behind it. A pile was stuffed into a large crack in the wall.
Then there are three Yuan Datou and seven or eight copper coins.
These copper coins and Yuan Datou were all rusty. Li Long was not very good at handling them, so he wrapped them all in paper and prepared to take them back and put them in the money bag in his east room.
Save it, there is no shortage of money anyway, this thing is not worth anything now.
After cleaning the yard, Li Long pushed his bicycle out, locked the door and went home.
When passing by the middle school, Li Long rode in specially. He came often, and the old school manager already knew him, and pointed him to a certain classroom with a smile:
"Teacher Gu is teaching in there."
Li Long smiled at him Said:
"Uncle, help me tell Teacher Gu that the shoes fit my feet very well and I like them very much."
"Okay." The old school worker said with a smile.
Li Long rode out of school in a happy mood.
But when he arrived at Wei Lake outside the village, his mood was not so good.
Because the ditch that used to flow water in Weihu Lake is now almost full.
This ditch is less than one meter deep. There is water occasionally, but not much. The water is now murky, obviously a flood has arrived.
Li Long immediately changed his route and walked upstream along Weihu Lake. Less than one kilometer away was Xiaohaizi.
Before he reached Xiaohaizi, he heard the sound of rumbling water. It was obvious that the water was bigger here.
After parking his bicycle, Li Long immediately ran towards the connection between the main ditch and the main canal. Although he gave money to the team to dig out this section last time, he did not look at the digging. situation.
In front of us, there is a very muddy water surface, which has almost flattened the main ditch, but the water in the main ditch is still half a meter short of the top.
The water in the main ditch surged down, rushed into the main ditch, and then turned almost ninety degrees and headed eastward.
Originally, the water in the main canal was quite clear, but after it merged, it turned into murky water.
What made Li Long somewhat gratified was that when the team went out to work, they not only dug the dry ditches and canals, but also anticipated the impact of the floods from the dry ditches on the main canals, so there is no need to know here. Half-length cement boards (cement boards) pulled from somewhere blocked several layers.
So although the flood water rushing down from the main canal has a strong impact, it is blocked by the cement board and will not collapse the canal embankment, so there is no problem.
Li Long breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw that the water flowing into Weihu Lake actually seeped out from the Xiaohaizi gate. The gate here was too old, and there were cracks in the cement wall, which would seep water.
However, because the project at that time paid great attention to quality, although there were gaps, the water felt that it could not break down the gate anyway, so Li Long was relieved.
Because there are main canals and ditches connected, although the water in Xiaohaizi is rising, it is still far from full. The gate is also constantly releasing water, so it is relatively safe.
Li Long turned back, got on his bicycle and returned to Weihu Lake. He got off the bicycle and carried the bicycle over.
What should students do after school?
Li Long thought and returned home.
At this time, my brother and sister-in-law have not come back from the fields, and Li Qiang has not finished school. Li Long is thinking about the students after school while cooking.
He planned to wait at Weihu's place when school was about to end.
Li Long still makes strips. Stewing rice in a pot is a technical job, but he doesn't know how to do it. He is afraid that it will turn into uncooked rice, which will be bad.
Li Jianguo came back first with his carriage, and immediately there was still a lot of pigweed - in fact, it was gray cabbage, pull seedlings, dandelions and wild amaranth.
He saw Li Long cooking and asked with a smile:
"Xiaolong, you are at home, we have saved a lot of time."
"It won't be easy tomorrow." Li Long said as he went down, "Brother, do you want to use the carriage tomorrow? If not, I plan to go into the mountains, deliver some things to them, and pull some manure back. There are also people in our yard. It’s time to plant vegetables, let’s start first "Some dung."
"Okay, I won't need it tomorrow." Li Jianguo tied the horse, then gathered the pig grass together, took the old kitchen knife from the board and started to chop it. Use the boiling water to cook pig food.
Liang Yuemei and Li Qiang came back. She also carried a bundle of pigweed and placed it next to Li Jianguo. While taking off her scarf, she said:
"I can enjoy this little dragon here." There’s no need for people to cook at noon.”
“I’ll be busy tomorrow. I’ll go to the mountains tomorrow.” Li Longsheng put the noodles on the side of the stove and said, “Let’s go to the mountains and be lazy.”< br>
"What do you mean by being lazy? That's business." Although Liang Yuemei knew that Li Long was joking, she still corrected her and said, "You are busy with your business, so I will just make a joke."
Li Qiang came over. Help Li Jianguo and put all the chopped pig grass into the pig food bowl. After all this is done, wash your hands and eat.
"There is water in Weihu ditch. I will pick up the children from school in the afternoon." Li Long said while eating, "I will go find the captain in the evening to see if he has arranged for someone to stay there in the afternoon. "Shou."
"You don't have to worry about this," Li Jianguo said as he peeled the garlic. The donkey cart is there to pick up the baby, and everyone in the team is paying attention to it. It is a big deal for the baby to go to school, so we don’t dare to delay it.”
This is a new village. Except for two or three families, there are dozens or hundreds of years. In addition to the history of the country, others came from all over the world, including those who supported the border areas, those who fled to settle down, and those who came to visit relatives. Because the habits of different places are different, some bad habits of favoring boys over girls and not letting girls go to school have been abandoned.
In addition, it is easy to have enough food here, and there are examples like Gu Xiaoxia who went to school and were admitted as teachers to eat from the government. Therefore, people in the village attach great importance to education. As long as they can go to school, both boys and girls will try their best. Go and give way.
Hearing that there was an arrangement in the team and someone took the initiative to pick up the children, Li Long was relieved. However, when school was over in the afternoon, he still arrived at Weigou and saw Tao Jianshe leading the donkey cart. Already waiting. There were two other people in the team who rolled up their trouser legs and made noises. When they saw Li Long coming, they smiled and said:
"Hey, Xiaolong is also coming to pick up the students from school?"
"Well, so are you?"
"Yes. The water is rising, but you can't drown the baby."
Li Long nodded fiercely and agreed with this sentence.
He smiled at Tao Jianshe, took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to several people to disperse. Although I don't smoke, I still have cigarettes in my pocket.
A cigarette narrowed the distance. The two people asked Li Long about the situation in the mountain, talking and laughing. Li Long could feel that since the division of land, the smiles on the faces of the team members had obviously increased.
The dolls came one after another, and several adults took turns carrying or carrying the children across the canal. Tao Jianshe couldn't help, so he simply put the children on the donkey cart and sent them home.
It was half an hour before Li Juan came over. "Xiaolong, you can go back after picking up Juan. We can just send the rest of the people off." The people in the village said to Li Long, "There is no need for so many people here. It is a waste of time to stay here."
Li Long didn't show any pretense. He carried Li Juan's schoolbag and went home with her.
Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei had already gone to work in the fields. After Li Long heated the meal for Li Juan, he went to the east room and started cleaning the gun.
In the 1990s, guns were completely banned. The 50s and 650s must be collected first. Small calibers can still be kept for a few years. This gun must be well maintained so that the hit rate can be improved when hunting. .
After cleaning the gun, Li Long began to pack his things. There was nothing over there in Dongwozi, so he had to bring some things and put them there in case of emergencies. You can buy some food, but he plans to take some of the cured and roasted meat here. This thing can be stored. I will definitely start a party in the winter den in the future. It is not possible to pack things every time I go there, so it is good to bring some.
Apart from these things, there are not many other things that can be brought, and most of them still need to be purchased in the county town tomorrow.
The next day, Li Long had breakfast and drove Li Juan out of the village with his carriage.
When I met elementary school students and middle school students traveling with me along the way, I pulled up together. Soon the carriage was full, and the students were not picky. If they met students again, they would squeeze in and laugh happily together. If they met, they would For younger children, the older children will take the initiative to jump down and carry the little ones into the carriage.
Li Long was holding the carriage and was very happy to see this scene. Most people at this time were simple and kind, and they did not worry about being blackmailed or misunderstood. Li Long felt that they should be the group of people who were well protected, or there was a survivor bias. Anyway, until the time of the cerebral hemorrhage in the last life, he had never seen any human traffickers, nor had he encountered anyone who wanted to deal with porcelain.
Arrived at the elementary school, a large group of young men got off the carriage happily. One child even shouted "Thank you, uncle". The students behind him followed, and Li Juan said "Goodbye, uncle" ", other primary school students also shouted, and everyone burst into laughter. When they reached the middle school, the corners of Li Long's mouth were still upward.
When they were passing middle school, a few middle school students came down, politely thanked Li Long and then entered the campus. The old school worker at the school gate looked at Li and said with a smile:
"Teacher Gu is in the office."
"I won't go over and take a look. I'm busy now. Let's talk about it when I get back. .”
Li Long got on the carriage and hurried away. After arriving in the county seat, he first went to the department store to buy bedding and sundries, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pots, bowls, chopsticks and the like. Finally, he went to the morning market to buy some food, and went to the medicinal material company to buy some commonly used medicines, and then returned to the main store. After loading up the samarium sickle, the courtyard rushed towards the mountains.
The family members of the sideline team knew that they could still eat meat while working in the mountains, so they no longer worried and only asked Li Long to send them a few words.
When Li Long came to Harimu's winter nest, he found that they were also preparing things.
When the dog barked, Nathan ran out, followed by Harim.
Li Long smiled and greeted them:
"Duosen, are you okay?"
"Okay, okay. What are you..."
"I brought over fifteen samarium sickles. You can share them with them. There is also some food. Let them come and get it by themselves. I don't know where they live."
Li Long held the bag wrapped with the scythe, and Harimu followed him to the winter nest carrying a bag of grain.
Li Long put down the samarium sickle and opened the package to show it to Harimu:
“Look, that’s right.”
“That’s right! Xin Xin "It's a good thing!" Harimu looked very happy, "Isn't this one cheap?"
"It's not expensive, just a few kilograms of mutton."
"Is it so cheap?" Harimu didn't believe it, he looked at Li Long.
"Really, we are Duosen, I won't lie to you." Li Long said seriously.
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Harimu said hurriedly. He picked up a samarium sickle and gestured with it. He was very satisfied. "Just put the handle on, it will be much easier to cut grass. The one we have at home can hardly be sharpened.”
“I forgot, I should have brought you some whetstones.”
"No, no, no, we're not used to that. We have them in the mountains. There are plenty of sharpening stones in the mountains!"
Li Long moved the grain down again and kept a small bag of rice and a small bag of noodles for himself. I plan to put it in my winter nest.
"There is also a pack of medicine here. Let me tell you how to use it. You see, they are packed separately. This is for pain relief, this is for reducing fever, and this is white medicine for stopping bleeding. You can take it. , it can also be used for bleeding in the stomach, and this one is for treating diarrhea..."
Li Long told Harimu about the medicine again, and he prepared a lot of it, at least ten bottles of each ( box), there is no problem in responding to the emergencies of those herdsmen.
In order to ensure that he did not take the wrong medicine, Li Long once again asked Harimu to mark each package of medicine so that it could be distributed to the herdsmen when the time came.
"Are you about to move on?" Li Long asked.
"Yes." Harimu said, "Spring came earlier this year, and the grass in the mountains is already green. In a few days we may go to the summer pasture. By the time we see you again, it will be winter. "
"It's okay, I will come to the mountains often. Maybe I will go into the mountains one day when I have free time."
"Then let me tell you the location of our summer ranch. ." Harry was fooled by Li Long's joke. La, he pulled Li Long to squat down and said seriously:
"Look, this is the ditch we have now. Follow this ditch and walk into the mountain until you reach the ditch. When there is an open grassland, from here, go this way - the direction where the sun rises. Here, if you continue walking in, you have to climb over... well, over seven mountains, and there is a bigger one there. The grassland is our pasture.
From here, it should take five to six days to go there. "
Well, Li Long immediately gave up the idea of going to the past. After five to six days of walking, does he plan to cross the North Tianshan Mountains?
"Okay, you guys get busy, I'll take it. I'll put some things into my winter den, and then I'll come over and dig some dung from you. By the way, I'll take those two fawns back with me when I leave. "
"Okay, okay. Harimu said with a smile, "The fawn is very lively, but it doesn't get along with our sheep, so it has to be raised alone. Well, it's very delicate." ”
Li Long led the carriage towards his winter home. Because there was no road, the carriage would be very bumpy when passing through the ditch. Fortunately, there were not many things on the carriage and it could pass three meters diagonally. Ten degrees, but not enough to cause things to fall off.
No. 76 probably walks in the mountains a lot, so he is used to it. He will bark occasionally, but he will not stop.
Arrived at Dongwozi, Li Long unlocked the door, unloaded the things, and then took out the things inside and loaded them into the car-mainly some jade and leather.
After loading the things, locking the door, and returning the same way, Li Long was already a little tired by the time he arrived at the winter nest. The sun had already risen in the sky, and Harimu smiled and asked him to come in to drink tea and eat naan.
"The meat is leftover from the last time. Eat some, and we'll pretend to be shit together later."
"Okay." Li Long saw that it was still early, so he didn't Planning to leave in a hurry, he unloaded the carriage, wiped the sweat of No. 76, and drank milk tea. He originally planned to go to Xiaobaiyanggou, but he didn't have a bicycle. Li Long was a little lazy and planned to pack the dung today. I went back, unloaded it, and rode the bike before I left.
