Chapter 253 The old scalper (three more)

"Let's go and have a look first." Shen Zhou stepped on the suspension bridge and crossed the moat.

Walking on the main road outside the city, the water in the crops on both sides was obviously higher than yesterday.

"That's great, when the water recedes, we won't delay planting autumn." Xiao Li said happily, his eyes were dark and black.

"En! The rain is falling fast, and the water is also receding quickly." Shen Zhouheng finally showed a smile on his face.

Shen Zhouheng and the others continued to move forward, looking at the East Lake from a distance, "Hiss..." He gasped, the size of the lake was almost doubled.

"Fuck me, the sesame seeds, soybeans and other crops planted by the lake are all gone." Xiao Li stared straight at the sea-like East Lake in front of him and said.

"It's good that people are fine, and they can plant again after the water recedes." Lu Ming comforted him by patting him on the shoulder.

Xiao Li heard that he wanted to cry but had no tears, what else could he do?Even jumping in now will not be able to save them, and some of them have just come to fruition.

"It's just that this oil is harder to eat this year." Xiao Li looked at them bitterly and said.

"Your family planted it." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with concern and asked.

"My family didn't plant by the East Lake, but interplanted some in the wheat field. The wheat has been harvested. I don't know if we can keep it after it rains." Xiao Li said with an ugly face, "The water will recede sooner, If you don't retreat, it will be difficult."

"Hurry up and go home and have a look." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with light brown eyes and urged.

"But here..." Xiao Li looked at Shen Zhouheng and said in embarrassment.

"I've finished watching the East Lake. As long as the water level doesn't rise, there's nothing we can do about it." Shen Zhou pointed his index finger to the east and said, "Ah! The sun is out, and you can go home and have a look before it's time to go to the Yamen. Do you need any help?"

"The younger Mr. Shen is going home now." Xiao Li was really worried about his family.

It's dark and I can't see the water. Now that I know it, I really feel uneasy.

"Go! Go! Let's go back to the county government now." Shen Zhouheng looked at him softly and said.

Xiao Li arched his hands, and after saluting, he turned around and left in a hurry.

"Master, let's go back." Lu Ming looked at him with black and white eyes and asked.

"It's all here, let's go to the nearby villages to have a look." Shen Zhouheng looked around and said.

Lu Ming followed Shen Zhou to the nearby village and walked around.

The villages are all built on higher ground and there is no water accumulation, but when the torrential rain washed away, it also caused a lot of damage.

Not to mention the mud on the road, the large and small stones that rushed down were scattered, and even blocked the road.

"This has to be cleaned up, otherwise we won't be able to leave." Shen Zhou Heng said as he walked, it was okay to see the small farmyard through the fence or fence.

"Why is there no one in this village?" Lu Ming said a little strangely, "It's so quiet, it's already bright day."

"Shouldn't it be?" Shen Zhouheng's face was full of doubts, "Walk to Lizheng's house and ask?"

The closer he got to Lizheng's house, the louder the noise was. It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that Lei had chopped down the tree, and the tree fell on the cowshed, killing the cow only half of its life.

At this time, the dying, the tears flowing from the bull's eyes made the hearts of those present felt uncomfortably tight.

"Let's report to the official! Let this old scalper leave early, it's really painful now."

"Yes, yes."

"This damned thunder, it was so hard to die that it hit the tree. It smashed the cow."

"This old scalper can do it!"

Alas... the villagers chattered around the cowshed.

"Yeah! Most of the land in our village is cultivated by it, and it never complains about being tired."

"The temper is very docile, and the children will be led away."

Those who can't afford to raise cattle at home often come to rent Lizheng's cattle.

"Age is not younger than ten years old. Calculate it according to the age of a person. Hey, seventy and eighty, and seventy is rare in life."

"It's a pity, but it's still very capable!"

"It's just eating less and doing a lot."

"Don't say a few words, the Lizheng family is sad when you don't see it!"

"Isn't it an old scalper? No one wants this accident to happen. Just buy another one."

"It's easy to say, how much is a cow? Can you still buy such an obedient one?"

"We should be thankful, fortunately, it wasn't an accident or a person."

"Oh my god, a thunderbolt struck the tree. Look at the tree, it's burnt black."

Everyone looked at the big tree surrounded by adults who had been struck by lightning, it was really a black charcoal.

"Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone, even the whole body was gone."

"What is Crow's Mouth talking about? What a wicked thing you have to do to be struck by lightning."

"That's right. That's right. Our village is simple and kind."

It was really funny to hear Lu Ming standing on the outermost side, as he was talking, he didn't know where he was running.

"That Lizheng, I don't think you should be sad. Hurry up and report to the official and slaughter the cow so that you can buy some money. Let's add some silver and buy another head!"

"After working for so many years, you have already made enough money."

As soon as the voice fell, the sad one who was crying!

Some people just said, "I don't know, I thought my father was dead!"

"How do you speak? Have you ever spoken like this?"

The villagers hated this famous idler one after another.

"Nah, has your roof been repaired? The leak is bigger than the rain outside."

"You want to take care of it?" Da Nuo cast a glance at them and said, "Give me money!"

have to!This kind of person shouldn't talk to him, he's shameless.

Shen Zhou tugged on Lu Ming's sleeves, and the two retreated quietly.

I went to look at other villages and towns, and it seemed that they were all cleaning their homes, reinforcing those that should be reinforced, and those that should repair the roof. The lesson was too painful.

After walking around Shen Zhouheng, the two of them returned home. Breakfast was already prepared and served.

"How is it? How is the situation outside?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him worriedly and asked.

"It's not very good. The entire East Lake has doubled in size, and all the oil crops planted by the lake have disappeared." Shen Zhouheng said while looking at her with his brows furrowed.

"It's normal! It's not right for them to build fields around the lake, or to plant on bare riverbeds because of the drop in water level." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with clear eyes and said as it should.

"Daughter-in-law, what you said is that when the water level drops, farming by the lake is not only fertile, but also easy to irrigate. How convenient it is to harvest more grain!" In Chen's concept, this is really normal.

Qi Yaoyao rolled her eyes lightly when she heard the words, "Then they should bear the losses caused by the rising water level. Let them take advantage of whatever is cheap."

"It seems to be true when you say that. It's obviously risky." After hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't refute it after thinking about it.

"Yaoyao doesn't approve of them planting fields on the bare riverbed, or building fields." Shen Zhou asked with amber eyes looking at her.
