The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 44

The continuous rain in summer is like a particularly naughty child, who cries very loudly and makes endless troubles.However, once that period passed, it was as if nothing had happened, whether it should be hot or hot, whether it should be stuffy or stuffy.

The continuous rain in autumn is different from that in summer. It is more like a woman who is sad and resentful. Even if the rain stops, the resentful elements in the air will make people shudder.

On the second day of heavy rain, at ten o'clock in the morning, the sky above Taohualing Village suddenly turned sunny, and the villagers who were aggrieved by the heavy rain ran to the archway at the head of the village to breathe.

The archway is located at the entrance of the old village, facing north, and in front of it is a dirt road extending from the easternmost to the westernmost edge of Dazhai Township.After passing the dirt road, there is a large poplar forest, and further north of the poplar forest is the Liusha River.

At this moment, the entire large poplar forest has been plunged into the ocean.

This mountain torrent is really too big.

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong went to school in Quancheng, so he naturally went to the Yellow River. The water flow of this small Liusha River with flash floods is definitely no less than that of the Yellow River in the dry season.

The flash floods contained a large amount of sand, and the poplar trees on the shoal by the river were uprooted, rolled into the middle of the river, and rushed downstream.

The rumbling sound, the cheers of the villagers, and the cries of children huddled together under the archway, echoing in the empty mountain village.

This is a picture full of primitive and wild power, and people seem so small and helpless in front of this rushing torrent.

If the mountain torrent was bigger, the houses at the lowest part of the village would have been washed away by the flood.

It's so dangerous, the villagers of Taohualing Village are still very safe in such a heavy rain.

The Wang family's chicken coop was filled with feed and water, and Zhao Shiling was guarding the chicken coop, and then Wang Shaodong and his son walked outside while talking about the heavy rain.Although they didn't mention the destination, both of them knew very well that the villagers of Taohualing Village would not be reconciled to seeing the flash floods under the archway under such a heavy rain.

That Shan Hong seemed to be a member of Taohualing Village. When he came, the villagers naturally went to have a look.

"This rain is as heavy as the rain in 86."

Wang Shaodong suddenly remembered what Wang Fumin said suddenly. This is indeed a sentence his father said back then, but tomorrow he will say that this rain is heavier than that in 86.

"Dad, there are several reservoirs in the upper reaches of our Liusha River. It is normal for fish to rush down from them, but there is not a single reservoir in the upper reaches of the Shizi River in my uncle's village. Why is it such a small river? How can there be so many fish when there is a flood?"

Wang Fumin smiled, holding an umbrella in his hand and wearing long rain boots on his feet, walking on the muddy dirt road with difficulty.

"Well, let me tell you, there is a reservoir in the upper reaches of the Shizi River."

"You mean Yu Jiawang? Doesn't that watery puddle dry up every winter?"

Wang Fumin walked from a muddy dirt road to the grass by the side of the road, rubbed the mud on his feet, and said, "Although the water is dry, there is a big rock on the westernmost side of the water, and there is a crack under the rock. The water in the crevices will never dry up."

When Wang Shaodong heard this, it was something he had never heard of in his previous life, so he immediately became interested.

"Never? How is that possible?"

"Do you know why most of the fish caught with weirs in the Shizi River are crucian carp?"

Wang Shaodong shook his head: "I don't know."

"Because crucian carp is the most cold-resistant fish and can live in very cold places, while other fish cannot."

Wang Shaodong was a little puzzled, what did his father mean by saying this all of a sudden?

Wang Fumin went on to say: "The crucian carp can live in a very cold place because there is a dark river under the big rock on the westernmost side of Jiawang, which leads to the Daobuojing in Xiaoma Village and the old spring in Songjiazhuang Village. I When I was young, I threw a ball of paper into it at Qingquanling, and then ran quickly to the knocking well in Xiaoma Village, and the paper ball popped out after a while. Then I threw the paper ball into the knocking well, Then go to the old spring in Songjiazhuang Village, and the ball of paper will come out of the old spring again in a short time."

Qingquanling is located two miles south of Taohualing Village, while Xiaoma Village is located three miles east of Taohualing Village. Along the mountain road, you run from Yujiawang in Qingquanling to the knocking well in Xiaoma Village. At least five miles away.Songjiazhuang is still eight miles away from Xiaoma Village.According to what my father said just now, the underground river is basically in the order from Qingquanling to Xiaoma Village and then to Songjiazhuang Village.

"Really? Hey, I'll have to try that later."

The father and son were talking, and came to the archway at the head of Taohualing Village, and saw many villagers watching the mountain torrents under the archway.A few friends who were close to Wang Fumin saw Wang Fumin coming, and they all came over to say hello, and they all sighed when they talked about Wang Shaodong's college entrance examination this year.

Wang Shaodong knew that he was now the poor object of the villagers.

Wang Shaodong saw that Zhang Jinfa, who loves fishing, was carrying a long sycamore pole with a fishing net made by himself with wire and gauze tied to one end.

This year's mountain torrents were so severe that the poplar grove was completely submerged, and the dirt road at the head of the village was also covered by floodwaters.The flood flooded over the sweet potato fields on the side of the road, and kept rushing towards the bluestone road in front of the archway.

Zhang Jinfa didn't go anywhere else, and just walked around on the half-flooded bluestone road. After a while, Zhang Jinfa saw an opportunity, and caught a big fish that had missed the bottom of the net.

Zhang Jinfa, who caught the fish, was so happy that he carried the sycamore pole and ran to the archway. At this time, everyone rushed over.

This scene was repeated countless times in Wang Shaodong's dreams. It was a silver carp with a beer bottle factory, weighing about two or three catties.

"Dad, what is this?"

Wang Shaodong saw that there was something below the edge of the rippling water, and bubbles came out.

After saying this, Wang Shaodong immediately became excited.Because, he seemed to have said this sentence in the previous life, and in the next scene, Wang Shaodong was like an audience watching a movie, with his mouth open in surprise.

When Wang Fumin heard his son shouting, he hurried over to have a look, and then two big silver carp weighing three to four catties jumped out and jumped in front of Wang Fumin.

When Wang Fumin saw it, without saying a word, he grabbed the gills of the two big fish with one hand and grabbed the fish.

The two fish were still swinging their bodies desperately, but there was no chance of escape.

The rapid flood washed these fish down from the upper reaches. When they reached Taohualing Village, they were already dizzy. After finally running to a piece of gentle water, they jumped for no reason, and it turned out to be a delicacy on other people's tables.

"Steamed Eggplant with Silver Carp!"

Wang Shaodong blurted out, Wang Fumin nodded again and again, very happy.

Seeing the father and son of the Wang family running home happily, the villagers shook their heads one after another. The college entrance examination results were replaced by someone else, and they still feel this way.

Everyone still doesn't know that the Wang family has already received a benefit of 30 yuan, so how could they be unhappy?
