Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 148: Providing suggestions to build canals

"What's going on in the village? Is there really a flood coming?" Liang Shuyan thought about it for a moment, and then hurried to Li Zheng's house.

Li Zheng was sitting on a chair smoking with a sullen face, looking very worried. When Jiao saw Liang Shuyan come in, she asked Jin Xia to bring pancakes and pickles from the kitchen.

"Her aunt, please have something to eat first, and then we can discuss the matter of digging ditches. My old man was so worried that he couldn't fall asleep all night. Isn't he asking you for advice?"

Liang Shuyan smiled slightly: "No, I'm not hungry now. Is there really a flood?"

Li Zheng pondered for a moment and put the pot aside and said: "It's true, people in several villages have been flooded. I heard that the food was washed away before they could be harvested. Now there is no harvest. Fortunately in our village, you have made the decision and harvested it early. No matter what, we are not worried about the food being washed away by the flood. However, the terrain of our Daling Village, I am afraid that the flood will still affect a lot of people. For the common people.”

Liang Shuyan glanced at Li Zheng and said, "Li Zheng, do you have paper and pen? I want to draw a picture for you, so that we can talk about it easily. Otherwise, no one will know where the person is talking about."

Mrs. Jiao was really a good helper. She quickly handed over the paper and pen and said with a smile: "Her aunt, are you going to draw a picture?"

Li Zheng became a little irritated and waved his hand: "Just sit aside and listen. Don't interfere. This matter is not a trivial matter?"

Mrs. Jiao stuck out her tongue and pulled Jin Xia to sit on the kang. Qiu Dong also came in, asked Liang Shuyan politely, and then sat down next to Jin Xia.

I saw Liang Shuyan draw a mountain on the paper and mark Daling next to it. Then she drew the approximate location of dozens of households in each village. The dangerous places were marked, and then she drew from one side of Daling. After walking through a winding canal, he put down his pen and said slowly: "Look, if the canal is dug from here, each of the more than 20 households in our village will have at least two strong laborers digging the canal. It will take about four or five days to extend the canal to the Yanghe River. Our Daling Village is located at a relatively high location, which is a natural advantage, so we don't have to worry."

It turned out that Li Zheng's plan was to dig a canal on the roadside of the village to drain away the flood water. However, a flood really occurred and even the road surface was submerged. Such a canal would not be able to do anything at all.

Li Zheng thought for a moment, pointed to the canal painted by Liang Shuyan and said: "If you do this canal, the amount of work is a bit larger. The key is that time is tight. Tuanyuan Town has been flooded. I am worried that the flood will arrive soon." We’re in town.”

The weather has been unstable these two days, and there was no weather forecast in ancient times. If a flood really happened, we really had no idea.

Fortunately, Liang Shuyan's system has a weather forecast, and she learned that the weather in the past few days was abnormal. From time to time, she would receive some small reminders from the system, as well as some preventive measures when floods come.

Liang Shuyan coughed softly twice and didn't know how to explain this to Li Zheng, so she had to make up a random reason: "Don't worry, my second uncle was a student who specialized in observing the sky. He studied with his master for a while. Although we are not very knowledgeable, we have a good grasp of the basic weather conditions. If we gather everyone from now on to discuss this matter and start construction, by the time the flood comes, we will have almost done digging. At that time, we will If the flood is diverted to the Yang River, the people will not suffer."

Qiudong, who was sitting aside, stood up after listening: "Dad, Auntie, I think this matter still requires us to act collectively. Anyone who has the ability must take action. No matter old or young, everyone must participate in digging canals." During the operation, this is a matter of life and property of the whole village. My aunt’s opinion is good. Qiudong thinks it is best to put a layer of fine sand in the dug ditch to prevent the road from collapsing!"

Liang Shuyan's eyes widened and she looked at Qiudong again: "Qiudong, you, your method is good, very detailed, and very critical. The water channel paved with fine sand will not be destroyed by floods and will be tighter and tighter. "Li Zheng didn't expect that his precious son could actually think of this method. He stared at Qiudong and said, "Qiudong, just follow the method your aunt said and start digging!"

Jiao's eyes were filled with ecstasy. She grabbed Qiudong's arm and said, "Qiudong, where did you learn these methods? It seems that your previous illness has been completely cured?"

"Well, mother, I learned these from Dashan and Zhao Heng. I heard my husband say this occasionally."

Li Zheng stood up: "Her aunt, let's do it. I'll gather everyone together right now. We'll go back and gather on the wheat field at the entrance of the village. We're all ready to take action. Let's put down the work in our hands."

The tea house was still busy, and Liang Shuyan then said: "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll call everyone in the tea house. By the way, I want Qiu Dong to follow Dashan to supervise the work. These two children are more careful. "

Li Zheng nodded heavily: "Okay."

The Jin Family Courtyard.

Liang Shuyan said: "Mom, please call everyone in the teahouse. I have something important to tell everyone."

Mr. Su in the school knew about this a long time ago and gathered the children together: "Listen here, all of you, the flood has submerged Qianjin Village, so we have to prepare to dig ditches for the sake of all the people in the village. life and property, we need to follow suit!”

Liang Shuyan's voice lit up and she clapped her hands: "Listen up, everyone. Although we have taken back the wheat, if we don't find a way to deal with the flood, we still can't keep the grain. So, we are all going to the drying field now. , Li is about to gather everyone to dig ditches, everyone in the village who has labor needs to go, and the tea house thing should be stopped first!"

Mrs. Zhang rushed over wearing an apron: "Mom, let's ask Dashan to find all the people from the martial arts hall. With more people and strength, the ditch will be dug soon."

Ruyan and the old lady of the Liu family also nodded, and the old lady Liu said: "Yes, this method is very good. If the flood on the mountain can be diverted, then we will not be in such danger?"

However, Liang Shuyan suddenly remembered something. Her family lived at the foot of Daling Mountain. The only one that was dangerous was her family. She also had to prepare for moving and temporarily move all her family members to a safe place. .

The only safe place in the village that can be visited now is the cave in Stone Mountain. After so many years, no matter what kind of disaster occurs, as long as you hide in the cave, everything will pass. This has been true for so many years. Why do the villagers feel that Stone Mountain is a safe place? Mountains are sacred and inviolable, and there is some reason for this.

"Why don't you just go hide in that cave first?"
