Surviving Endless Disasters

When the fields were divided, it was Ye Qing who divided them. In the eyes of the villagers, Ye Qing and the others suffered a loss because several of the fields they chose were in a somewhat sunken terrain. Looking back now, it turned out that they were chosen this way on purpose. .

“Speaking of which, our village used to grow rice.

"An older man recalled, "But there was a bit of water shortage in the summer, and the temperature at that time was not suitable, so the harvest was not good.

They only planted it for a few years, and then they were all planted with wheat.

"The name of the rice field in the village is the name left over from the rice harvesting at that time. The old people like them are used to it and haven't changed it for so many years.

"Is it okay to plant rice now?" a villager asked, "I remember that rice can only grow when the temperature is high.

"Indeed, rice is a crop that likes high temperatures and moisture. There is enough water in the village now, but autumn is coming soon. Thinking about the snowstorm that seems to have just passed can make people feel chilly.

Ye Qing expressed her thoughts: "I asked about the situation here when I lived in the town. Our village is slightly south, and the temperature was always very high last winter, and it didn't suddenly cool down until the Chinese New Year in February.

The shortest growing period of rice is about three months, and it is only the beginning of August now.

“But this year’s situation may be different from last year.

"Huang Yiming suddenly said something while holding the sheep to watch the excitement.

Ye Qing pointed to the field where she was busy just now and said: "So we have several families farming this small piece of land together. Even if we don't succeed, we can still afford the losses.

Ye Ping stood nearby, stroking back her fine hair with her hands, leaving a trace of mud on her face, and said, "We rarely ate flour before. If we can grow it successfully, we can eat some rice." .

"Kaoshan Town mainly grows wheat, and usually eats more noodles. In the past, supermarkets sold rice, but compared to noodles, the stock was relatively small, because local people rarely eat it.

Now that the world is in chaos, there is even less. The food Ye Qing and the others have exchanged these days is barely any rice.

These young people in Sanlihe Village who are accustomed to eating noodles would not be happy if they were asked to eat rice every day without tasting the noodles and steamed buns.

Everyone understood Ye Qing's choice. In the past few days when it rained, they had seen that they had renovated the fields, built a shed with branches and plastic sheets in front of their house, and started to raise seedlings inside. The other villagers would also go to help them. help.

Wen Zheng actually liked to eat both rice and noodles. When he first came to this world, he stocked up on food. He stocked up on equal amounts of rice and noodles. He was not worried about whether he could succeed in growing rice. After thinking about it, he took Tuan Tuan to find Ye. Qing family.

There was a lot of rice at home, but there was no rice that could be used as seeds. The rice was exchanged for high-quality rice seeds from Ye Qing and others. Under the surprised eyes of the villagers, they also made a field for planting. The rice is gone.

Wen Zheng dared to do this, but the villagers did not want to take the risk. Only a few villagers were considering it.

However, I failed to think about it for a few days. The heavy rain that had been falling for several days showed no signs of stopping.

When the villagers stayed well at home, many domestic animals began to show unusual reactions.

The big buffalo in the village committee mooed, and after calling out the keeper, he reminded him to untie his chains.

The big rooster crowed a few times in a low voice, asking the other hens accompanying him to stay in the chicken pen. He himself held his head high and his chest turned flexibly to observe the surrounding situation.

"What happened?" The villager in charge of today's feeding work was confused and felt a little bad. The big buffalo kept urging, but he still untied the chain and shouted to the village chief and others.

In the yard, the big goat stopped grazing, grabbed the corner of Huang Yiming's clothes who was in a daze next to him with his mouth, and dragged him into the house.

"Alas, you are the king of the mountains, I am going to fall.

"Huang Yiming was pulled and staggered. Then he heard the big goat's anxious cry. He noticed something was wrong and immediately took the big goat back to the house.

In Wen Zheng's house, Huang Yian was having a friendly fight with the big black snake. The big black snake suddenly stopped and Huang Yian fell to the ground.

Tuantuan chirped several times in one direction. Wen Zheng walked to the window and also looked to the east.

"Why are you all looking east? What happened to the east?" Huang Yian got up from the ground in confusion, and then followed them to look east.

There has been too much rain these past few days, and it has been a fierce rainstorm.

The drought that lasted for two consecutive months some time ago caused many plants to wither due to lack of water.

Looking back now, there are many places on Dongshan Mountain where the trees are dead, with no vegetation covering them, only bare soil and gravel. Such continuous heavy rains can easily cause trouble.

Huang Yi'an followed Wen Zheng and looked at Dongshan. His original curious expression suddenly tightened. The heavy rain hit the soil that was not grasped by plant roots. The accumulated rainwater rushed down the mountain carrying stones and muddy water.

"Flash flood! A flash flood broke out!" Huang Yian's eyes widened and he looked at Dongshan in horror.

Wen Zheng focused his attention on listening. There were many kinds of sounds coming from there, not only the ground shaking caused by the flash flood, but also many animals that could not avoid the flash flood running down the mountain like crazy.

After his hearing improved, Huang Yian's screams became particularly harsh. Wen Zheng glanced at him lightly and said: "The east mountain is not too steep, the scale of the flash flood is not big, and it will not cross the wall. Now we need to worry are the animals that take shelter from the fence.

” Even crazy animals will run down the mountain due to animal instinct when they feel a natural disaster such as a flash flood. When the soil is hit by the flood, they may be able to cross the wall.

The movement of the flash floods sweeping through the soil and gravel became louder and louder. The villagers stayed at home and watched this scene. Some people even walked out of their homes to run away.

Wen Zheng and the others who walked out of the door and walked east specifically at this time were particularly eye-catching, especially since there was a big snake following Wen Zheng. Those who were afraid of snakes quickly looked away.

When people who moved nearby wanted to follow to see the situation, Wen Zheng shouted: "The flash flood will not cross the wall, but the animals on the mountain will run down. Keep your weapons at home and pay attention to the underground."

"After hearing Wen Zheng's words, the villagers who had great trust in him began to take action.

Huang Mingqing left the house, beat the gong with his gong, and began to convey Wen Zheng's words. He also found several villagers with stronger labor force and arranged them to the homes of several new villagers with weaker fighting ability.

Flash floods will not cross the wall, but animals from the mountains may enter the village.

The villagers' nerves became tense and they entered a state of alert. After some of them arranged their families, they rushed to the east wall, including several mutated animals.

Wen Zheng's face was solemn. Everyone knew that the current situation was not good. He quickly ran to the east wall and saw the villagers responsible for guarding the wall who had not run back in the face of the flash flood. His face instantly softened.

"Wen Zheng is here! One of the villagers saw it first and shouted out immediately. The other villagers immediately felt relieved.

Of course they were afraid of such a powerful flash flood, but they were deeply torn between retreating or continuing to stand here on duty as arranged.

According to the regulations in the village, when they encounter a danger that threatens their lives and cannot resist, they can retreat first. However, there is still a wall in front of them, so it is not the most dangerous time yet.

Wen Zheng told them his speculation. In fact, the flash flood was very close to them, and now he could clearly see the power of this small flash flood.
