My whole family crosses the farm gate from the future

Chapter 116 Digging a Canal

In a month, everyone has basically dug almost, and opened up all the planned channels and routes. Is there a lot of people and strength, and we are afraid of unity in everything.

The fact that everyone worked so fast has a lot to do with the fact that it rained every now and then. I felt a little apprehensive in my heart, and worked harder and harder.

Even Mrs. Wang was a little scared, and asked Wenwen to make a medicinal soup, which everyone in the village would drink.

Wenwen took the girl and the younger children to burn and clean up the garbage, fearing that it would cause epidemics, so they sprinkled lime and the like to prevent epidemics when it was not raining.

Let the sixth grandpa take someone who can do carpentry to re-reinforce things like chicken coops and raise the bottom to prevent moisture and prevent chickens and ducks from getting sick.

At this time, all the people in the village, old and young, started to work. The older ones and the younger ones did light work, such as cleaning garbage, spreading lime and sweeping the yard and other sanitation work.

Young and middle-aged people have to hurry up to dig ditches. Looking at the continuous rain is really worrying.

"This year's harvest will lose a lot."

The second grandfather was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night. If it rains like this, the grain in the field will rot.

"If you can keep a little bit, it's a little bit. If you can't, there are still tea gardens and workshops."

"That's right, if there were not other things to back it up, I'm afraid it would be over this year just relying on the grain harvest."

"It's okay, we still have shipping this year, and the money from the northwestern side of the capital is coming soon. It's not a big problem. Last year's food was not taken away. Let it be distributed to everyone to live first. When it doesn't rain, let people go quickly. Buy grain seeds, just in case."

"I've already asked your eighth uncle to buy grain seeds. Thanks to your timely reminder, otherwise there will be no harvest this year."

The second grandfather looked at the wet field and sighed in distress.

"Grandpa doesn't have time to be distressed now, so he sent people to deliver firewood, food and water tanks to the hillside, and get ready. Fortunately, my father was generous and built a long house at that time."

Wenwen also clutched her chest in fear.

The purpose of building houses on the hillside was to prevent disasters. Wang Yi felt that the location of his village was a bit too low. Anyway, he had enough money, so he simply built two rows of houses on a high place on the hillside, including fire walls and kitchens. Everything is complete.

"I'll let people go, don't cause floods, God bless you."

While the second grandfather was muttering, he asked people to move urgent food and other things up the mountain, and asked people to move some emergency things such as quilts and firewood, especially all the food in the granary, so as not to suffer losses.

The houses on the hillside are adequate, and it may be a bit embarrassing for the whole village to squeeze in, but they can definitely accommodate them.

Wenwen Jiantian boiled medicinal soup and sent it to the big guys.

"Go and buy some medicinal materials, buy as much as you have."

"it is good."

"Also, ask the housekeeper to stand up, fearing that there will be a flood, and then ask someone to notify the county magistrate to get ready."

"I see."

"It's not enough for him to go, we go together."

Zhou Hui responded, and brought Anzi and two other servants into the county seat to notify the county magistrate, and the servants went to Zhuangzi to send a message.

After returning, Zhou Hui brought back a lot of medicinal materials.

"I bought out all the medicinal materials in several shops, and many people still don't believe there will be a flood."

Indeed, there have been no natural disasters for more than ten years, and there are some people who do not believe in evil.

"The county magistrate, how did you tell him?"

"I have repeatedly explained that the county magistrate is dubious. He promised that I will go to the villages to remind me and be ready."

"You ask someone to send me the medicinal materials up the mountain, and they must not get wet."

"I see."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Wenwen's premonition became stronger and stronger, and she rushed to find the second grandpa.

"Grandpa, you have to kill all the chickens, ducks and pigs. You can't keep them. There will be diseases. You can still eat meat if you kill them now. When the floods come, you can't have them."

Wenwen entered the house and saw the second grandfather and the clan elders weaving baskets and discussing something.

"Is it so serious, I killed them all, but I lost a lot."

"Gather everyone together at night. Let me tell you, Grandpa, believe me, you must kill all the animals and send the cattle up the mountain."

The second grandfather gritted his teeth and pondered for a long time, seeing that it had been raining for two consecutive days outside, and the harvest in the field was almost finished this year, and the roots were about to soak.

People in the village are anxious day and night, but there is nothing they can do.

"Okay, let me tell you."

Second Grandpa closed his eyes and made up his mind.

Everyone finished their work that night, and the young and middle-aged were digging ditches in the heavy rain, but there were still many low-lying fields that were severely damaged.

"Everyone has seen it. It has been raining for several days, and the sunny days are getting less and less. Wenwen wants to kill all chickens, ducks and pigs except cattle, otherwise it may cause epidemics. "

"Patriarch, must it be like this, our income from the field this year will be wiped out..."

An aunt asked in a crying voice.

Wenwen stood up, her eye circles were also red. This is because everyone worked hard for a year, but they were soaked by the continuous rain. Everyone's hard work was in vain.

"Uncle, aunt, uncles and aunts, I think you have all seen the actual situation, and the situation is not optimistic.

We have to prepare for the worst. Floods are very likely to come. Even if they don't come, the rainy weather is enough for us.

In order to prevent the occurrence of epidemic diseases, we must kill all the animals, except for cattle and war horses, all others must be killed, one is to prevent epidemic diseases;
The second is that once the harvest in the field is severely damaged, we must first ensure that everyone has food to eat, and animals cannot be raised, and cows and horses have to eat food. "

"Everyone still remember the epidemic, how many people died in our village, you haven't forgotten, what Wenwen said is right."

"Woooooo!"

An aunt couldn't help crying, and everyone was under a lot of pressure. Seeing that all the grain in the field was soaked in water, all the hard work of the year was gone.

The animals at home can be exchanged for some money, but they have to be killed. The loss this year is too great.

"Kill it, let's kill together tomorrow, the men will do it."

A man stood up, resisting the sadness in his heart and opening his mouth.

"Tomorrow, the ladies will work together. We will marinate the meat separately in a large pot. This way, it will be preserved for a longer period of time. You can also eat it at home, and if you send it to a tavern to sell it, you can recover some losses."

Wenwen gives advice to everyone.

"Okay, the sky hasn't fallen yet, don't let the child be anxious and uncomfortable with us, go back to sleep, get up early tomorrow morning to kill chickens, pigs, all of them."

Everyone understands that what Wenwen said is right. They have experienced the epidemic and know how terrible the epidemic is.

Although the aunt and aunts suffered a great loss, no one raised any objections.

The next day, all the people in the village began to slaughter animals, which was the only way Wenwen could think of.

Grandma prepared medicine and lime powder for everyone to distribute.

Wenwen asked every household to clean up all the pig pens and chicken pens, sprinkle them with lime, and burn the ground as soon as it stopped raining, which also plays a role in disease prevention.
