Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 644 River Embankment
The rioting crowd all over the embankment stopped their movements in an instant, as if they had drawn a rest.

The two neighbors over there, who were fighting for the floating board, froze for a while, and then suddenly withdrew their fierce expressions, and they were good neighbors again.

The woman who pushed her daughter aside and tied her son with a float also quickly picked her up and cried loudly.

Gu Xiang: "..."

Should I scold a few words?
I still want to scold.

Okay, it's not that I don't love my daughter, but I love my son more. This sounds so angry that my head hurts, my heart hurts, and my teeth hurt.

But forget it, I will scold later, now I am happy to escape from death, but the matter is far from over.

A stone fell and just hit the gap, and the turbulent water slowed down a lot. Many villagers on the bank sat down on the ground, panting.

There are also a few who live by the water all the year round, and the water-savvy ones ran to the river to search for those unlucky ones who accidentally fell into the water.

Gu Xiang and Xue Ying brushed forward together, Xue Ying dragged out a ball of silver net bag from his sleeve, threw one end to Gu Xiang, she flew up by herself, and swept across the river.

Both of them had good eyesight, and they cooperated tacitly. Of course, the main reason was that Xue Ying was especially good at cooperating with Gu Xiang, and the two of them brought the young children who fell into the water to the shore.

At this time, they fell into the water for a short time, less than a moment, and the water quality was not bad. Those who were in better condition went ashore and twisted their wet clothes, and then they came alive, and thanked Gu Xiang carefully.

There are also a few people who are not physically strong, and they are all squatting or standing, and their minds are clear.

The villagers on the shore immediately breathed a sigh of relief, rushed over and counted them loudly, and they were very happy to see that there were no missing youngsters.

The so-called fire and water are ruthless, living next to this river, but when will you not lose a few lives because of this river?

The wind howled, the waves rolled up, rushed to the embankment with a rumble, and retreated again.

The villagers shivered in unison.

The gap in the embankment is blocked by a big rock, so the river will not flow out and flood the village for the time being. However, a part of the embankment has been broken, and the knowledgeable villagers know that if they don't rush to repair it, it may not last long.

Now the river is still flowing out along the gaps in the embankment, and the low-lying farmland around the village has been submerged by water.

The villagers who came back to their senses looked at the damaged crops with a dazed look on their faces.

"Don't worry about the crops, hurry up, I think our embankment won't be able to withstand it."

Some knowledgeable people looked at the embankment and then at the water potential, and shook their heads helplessly.

"If there is another rainstorm... hey!"

Everyone was worried, and those who were wise hurried home to pack up their belongings and left the village to seek refuge.

Li Chuanzi was standing on the shore, dancing and grabbing the man beside him to prevent him from leaving: "No, no, no—"

"Li stutters, you can't speak, so stop stuttering now!"

"No... no, this, this, this embankment, no, no, it can't be broken, down, down, down is, yes, yes..."

"This embankment must be preserved no matter what, otherwise the flood will erode fertile soil for hundreds of miles, and I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of people will go hungry this year."

Gu Xiang said loudly.

Everyone: "..."

The villagers were a little vigilant. An old man with gray hair and fine wrinkles on his face looked over. His muscles were tense and his expression was serious: "Who are you?"

Although it was such a critical moment, Gu Xiang was not in a hurry at all, pointing to the jar of 'Gu Ji' chili sauce at his hand, and said with a smile: "Next time I go back to buy it, just take the jar directly, and you need to save money if you buy bulk. There is a lot of money. I am from Guzhuang, and I happened to pass by your Changjin Village today, so I took a rest, and I did not expect to encounter such a thing."

The expressions of the old man and other villagers softened a lot.

Those little juniors who were rescued by Gu Xiang and the two rushed forward to explain and thank them.

Knowing that the two little ladies, Gu Xiang and Xue Ying, actually have the ability to block the river and save people, everyone's expressions became more gentle for a while, and when they looked at Gu Xiang and Xue Ying, they all showed a little amazement in their eyes.

Today's Gu Zhuang is not the same as before. Is there anyone in the nearby village who doesn't envy Gu Zhuang?

Moreover, Gu Zhuang's reputation has been very good recently.

When Gu Xiang stayed at home these days, the most serious thing she did was undoubtedly 'education'. She used the rare meat in the canteen in the village, and she also had points for the villagers to learn to read and write.

After the farm is built, it is even more necessary to require all employees to be literate and able to count.

In the entire village, apart from those elderly people who are over [-] years old, some of them are still illiterate, and most of the others know [-] commonly used characters, and they can read and write even if they are not good at writing.

Once this person is literate, his speech and behavior will indeed be quite different from before.

The people of Guzhuang stood together with the villagers in the surrounding villages, which seemed to stand out from the crowd. In the past half a year, among other things, young men and women in Guzhuang have become very popular in the marriage market. Dear, once you say that you belong to Gu Zhuang, it will naturally make people look up to you.

The old patriarch and several elders are happy every day now. The old patriarch’s waist and legs are bad for more than 20 years. In the past six months, he has changed his appearance and gradually improved. Now he can stand upright. The whole person is refreshed.

Now whenever the folks from Gu Zhuang go out, there are eight villages in the surrounding area, no matter where they go, they must be looked up to.

Xue Ying walked up to Gu Xiang, held her arm, and led her to walk slowly to the high stone next to her, raising her eyes to look into the distance.

Gu Xiang looked at it for a long while, stretched out his hand to break a section of branch, put down a stone to tuck his robe, and started counting on the spot. past.

Fortunately, Gu Xiang is familiar with such things as water control and embankment repairs, and she is also quite familiar with the terrain of this area, so she quickly formulated a plan for embankment repairs, and said with a smile: "If our embankment is built according to our It doesn’t take a lot of material and manpower to repair this plan, if it is fast and there are enough manpower, it can be completed in two or three hours.”

Gu Xiang paused and said, "I can't guarantee how perfect the repair will be, and I will definitely have to repair it in detail later, but it is enough for a temporary emergency."

"Why don't you invite the elders of your village to come over and let's discuss it?"

All the villagers in Changjin Village were stunned and hesitated for a while.

Gu Xiang was not in a hurry, took the sketched blueprint, and talked to the villagers present in a concise manner.

She didn't try to make it easy, but she was very detailed and well organized. When the few villagers present who knew some river work heard this, they immediately felt their hearts light up and nodded.

Even these villagers who don't understand don't feel particularly difficult after listening to it.
