Portable space

Come out from the space, put Cai Yazhi on the kang, Zhang Taiping is ready to go out again.

Cai Yazhi hurriedly asked, "What else are you going out for?" She went out late, so she didn't see the pond flooding the bank, and she didn't go to the river to see the vortex that cut the river, so she didn't know What did Zhang Taiping go out to do again?

"It's nothing. I'll go to the river to fetch the shovel and gourd." Zhang Taiping replied, putting on his raincoat again.

After leaving the door, he saw a flashlight flickering by the river where he put the gourds. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried towards that side.

When we got to the river, the person holding the flashlight heard the sound of feet stepping on the rainwater, and the flashlight shone in this direction.

"Is it handsome?" the voice of the old village chief.

Zhang Taiping looked at the river, the whirlpool was still there, secretly heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did the old uncle come here all this time?"

The village head moved the flashlight away from Zhang Taiping's face, shined it on the shovel by the river and asked, "Is this your shovel?"

Zhang Taiping nodded, and suddenly thought that it was in the dark night that other people don't have such eyesight as his, so he might not be able to see the nodding, so he replied aloud: "Yes, just now Yazhi and I were worried about the pond overflowing, so we came out to have a look. Yazhi accidentally twisted her foot and just sent her back."

"It's true that the ground is full of water and it's easy to twist your feet. Is she okay?" The old village chief nodded and asked.

Zhang Taiping replied: "It's not serious, just rest for two days and it will be fine."

"That's good," the village chief began to tell the reason why he came here, "it was still raining too much at night, so I was worried, so I got up to have a look. Who would have thought that the river would even flood the road, there was water everywhere, and there were no people there. It’s a place to step down. But the strange thing is that the rain has not stopped, but the water inside has decreased, and the road surface has come out. I am afraid that the water will flow to other places, so I walked along the river to have a look.”

The flashlight shined on the vortex inside and said: "I didn't expect this phenomenon to appear here. Such a big vortex seems to have sucked all the upstream river water into it."

Zhang Taiping echoed and said: "I was also surprised just now, so I took a look here."

The old village chief frowned and said, "Could it be an underground river? Like the underground river in your pond?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "It is possible."

"I just don't know if so much water flowing into the underground river will affect the well water."

"This can only be found out tomorrow."

The old village head sighed: "Oh, then we can only wait for tomorrow, this rain is really too heavy." After speaking, he turned and left, but he didn't go in the direction of his house, obviously he had to go Look elsewhere.

Looking at the old village chief's back, Zhang Taiping made a little noise. Grassroots cadres who serve people wholeheartedly like this are already very rare. It is really a great fortune to have such a village chief in the village.

After waiting for more than an hour, when it was close to six o'clock in the morning, the thunder stopped, and the rain also subsided, leaving only the patter of drizzle.

Zhang Taiping looked at the sky and it was getting late, so he summoned the gourd out of the water, and the gourd stopped absorbing water as soon as he thought about it, and the upstream river was rushing down again, but at this time there was no heavy rain to follow, and the river would be getting worse Lesser and smaller is already within the accommodation range of the small river, and it can't spread to the roads on both sides of the river bank.

Grab the gourd in your hand and weigh it, it is still as light as before, as if so much water didn’t come here last night, immerse your mind into the inside of the gourd, as always calm, deep, blue, and nothing. A sense of vitality.

Not long after Zhang Taiping put the gourd into the space, village names came up the river with straw hats and shovels.The heavy rain last night could be felt even by those who slept deeply. In the morning, they were startled by the river flooding the road, and they wandered around to look around.

After carrying the shovel back home, Cai Yazhi was still asleep. After all the trouble last night, she was really startled and tired. Zhang Taiping didn't disturb her, and quietly exited the bedroom, followed by the tiptoe Wukong.

Just after washing their faces, all the little things came to beg for food. Zhang Taiping turned over a big peach for Wukong and a few strawberries for Xiaoxi.The two parrots that usually forage for food by themselves also came to join in the fun, so Zhang Taiping also gave them some strawberries.

It is estimated that none of the family members slept soundly last night, and they all got up early in the morning.The fiery red fox disappeared without a trace again, and the three little foxes kept screaming "Jiujiu" in hunger. Fan Ming went to the backyard to squeeze some goat milk before washing up and came back to feed the three little foxes with a bottle. .

Zhang Taiping went to the garden again, last night the pool water was indiscriminate, part of the lavender was flooded, but it was not too serious.The inside of the ground was completely soaked by the rain, and it was impossible to set foot down. A large lump of mud was brought up with one foot. It was really inconvenient to walk, so Zhang Taiping didn't force his way into the ground to check.

When she returned to the house, Cai Yazhi had already woken up and was making breakfast.

Zhang Taiping asked: "Why did you come down, how do you feel about your feet?"

"It's nothing serious. I just checked that the swelling has subsided. As long as you don't twist your ankles when you step on the ground, you won't feel any pain." Cai Yazhi looked back and said with a bright smile thinking about Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping asked Cai Yazhi to sit on the bench and forcibly take off her shoes to have a look. It wasn't because he had any bad habits, but because he couldn't be sloppy. Spraining her foot is not a big deal, but if the treatment and recuperation are not in place It will leave the root of the disease, which is the so-called "fat injury" in the countryside. It is easy to recur in the future, and if you don't pay attention, you will twist your foot again at the same place on the ankle.

After a careful inspection, I was relieved. There was indeed nothing serious. The bruise had disappeared, and there was no trace of twisting last night.

After putting on her shoes, Zhang Taiping said again: "Although there seems to be no problem, you'd better rest for a few more days, don't walk around casually, and don't do any work. Do you hear me? "

Cai Yazhi's face was as red as if she had applied a layer of rouge, and she nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Fan Ming came in a long time ago, and waited for Zhang Taiping to finish his work before asking: "Sister Cai twisted her foot?"

Cai Yazhi gently rubbed her hot cheeks and replied, "I accidentally twisted it last night."

"I'll ask Grandpa Zhang to get some for you." After saying that, he was about to go out.

Cai Yazhi hurriedly shouted: "No need, it's already healed." In her opinion, this is really a small injury, there is no need to bother this and that, she is a little embarrassed.

Zhang Taiping knew that she didn't want to bother everyone for a trivial matter, and there was really no major problem, so he said to Fan Ming: "Okay, no need, you have been watching her for the past two days and don't let her run around. "

"Decree!" Fan Ming raised his head and bowed his chest in salute, then turned to Cai Yazhi, "Hee hee, Sister Cai, I will take care of you for these two days."

After breakfast, the light rain stopped at night. Although the clouds did not immediately see the sun, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the sky.

Zhang Taiping went to the village to see what kind of damage the water had caused last night.Wukong also came out, it was clever, and climbed onto Zhang Taiping's shoulders at the door, avoiding walking in the muddy water.Followed by a lion.

Along the way, the road was covered with two or three inches of sand, which was the aftermath of the flood last night.When Zhang Taiping came to the gate of the village chief's house, there was no one here, the most crowded place in the past, not even the old village chief was there anymore.

Zhang Taiping asked strangely: "Auntie, why is there no one here today?"

"Did you know that there was a flood last night?"

Zhang Taiping nodded to express his understanding.

The aunt of the village head's family continued: "The water is really too big. Not only the main road is flooded, but also the houses near the river in the north of the village are also flooded."

Zhang Taiping thanked him, and walked north along the direction indicated. Although the village is far away from the hillside, there is no danger of landslides, but it is inevitably close to both sides of the river. If the river swells, it may be flooded.If he hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night to do something last night, it wouldn't have been as simple as two or three families being flooded.

From a distance, I saw a group of people moaning and sighing around a house. When Zhang Taiping came to the front, the old village chief just nodded and didn't speak.

Wang Peng came forward and said, "It rained heavily last night, and it was flooding! Do you know, brother?"

Zhang Taiping nodded, the house of the two is on a high place in the south, and the yard is more than ten meters away from the river, no matter how big the water is, the houses of the two cannot be submerged.Wang Peng didn't have any personal experience of this kind of house being flooded, and his voice was a bit loud, but Zhang Taiping stopped him from talking with his eyes.

I went to the house and took a closer look. It was said that it was flooded, but it was not the case. At best, the water flooded into the house, but even this was not what the old earthen walls built in the early years could bear.After being soaked in water, half of the wall is soft, and I don't know if it can support the beams above.Anyway, it is a dilapidated building now, and it cannot be lived in.

Zhang Taiping felt a little lucky, his house was built with the earliest old bricks, it may not be as strong as the current blue brick and cement houses, but it is not afraid of rain and wind.

The owner of this house is a couple of elderly people. Their son and daughter-in-law are working outside, leaving a grandson to be looked after by the elderly. Now that something like this happened, the two elderly people can’t handle it. They can only call the son and daughter-in-law back.As for the accommodation for these two days, I can only temporarily live in the daughter's house in the neighboring village.

Two other houses were also affected, but it was only so serious that they could live in peace of mind when the sun was shining.

After comforting the two elderly people, everyone dispersed. When they walked back, everyone was still discussing this matter. Among them, there were many people who were worried about their own houses, and some people wondered whether it was time to build a cement bungalow.

The old village chief didn't say anything along the way, probably thinking about it.Come out from the space, put Cai Yazhi on the kang, Zhang Taiping is ready to go out again.

Cai Yazhi hurriedly asked, "What else are you going out for?" She went out late, so she didn't see the pond flooding the bank, and she didn't go to the river to see the vortex that cut the river, so she didn't know What did Zhang Taiping go out to do again?
