Chapter 31: Descending the Mountain
In the evening, when the flood receded, Bai Yiming informed Li Shenyuan's brothers and sisters to go down the mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A group of people embarked on the trail down the mountain, along the way, Jiang Biqing not only had to drag his bedding roll, but also led Li Shenzhou from time to time, obviously a thin little boy, but it gave people a sense of reliability.
Jiang Biqing is using practical actions to prove that he is not a drag.
Li Shenyuan saw it in his eyes, although he held his sister's hand all the time, he did not refuse Jiang Biqing's kindness to his sister.
Standing in front of the vast and chaotic, slightly desolate fields, my heart is desolate, and sadness spreads.
The crops in the middle and low terrain were spoiled, and only the crops on the higher terrain were not affected.
"It's ruined, it's ruined. ”
An old man with gray hair squatted down and picked up the sprinkled ears of rice from the ground with trembling hands.
The members of the Panlong production team were full of sadness, but they wanted to cry without tears, and they couldn't cry when they looked at the large ears of rice that had fallen to the ground and were not yet fully ripe.
Luo Zhiyong looked at this scene, thought of the fields in Shanhe Village, and immediately said goodbye.
Diao Shengsheng and Wu Qingfeng also said goodbye one after another and left with the people of their own production team.
Looking at the few ears of rice in the entire field, where did he still have the heart to keep people? Bai Yiming waved his hand, staring at the desolate field, his eyes overflowing with distress.
"Everyone is going to be hungry this year. Jiang Biqing's face was cold.
"Hunger is a small thing. Li Shenzhou sneered, afraid that if he could not complete the amount of public grain handed in, he would be blamed by the people of the commune above.
Jiang Biqing didn't understand this, but he knew that everyone didn't want to eat enough this year.
Li Shenzhou sighed, pulled his brother, asked him to squat, and whispered in his ear.
Li Shenyuan looked at her deeply and bowed his head, "I know." He walked up to Bai Yiming and said in a low voice: "Uncle Bai, now is not the time to feel sorry for the crops, these scattered ears of rice can continue to threh rice when they are ripe, and if they are not ripe, they can also be fed to the livestock, you have to think of the rations of the production team members for the next year as soon as possible." ”
Bai Yiming was shocked, as if he had been empowered, and suppressed the heat in his eyes, "Uncle Bai knows what to do." ”
Li Shenyuan silently returned to his sister.
Bai Yiming stood up and shouted loudly, "Everyone come here, I have something to say." ”
The members of the production team were immersed in the emotion of distressing the crops, and when they heard the shouting, they came over reluctantly.
"Captain Bai, if you have anything to say, just say it, let's listen. ”
"As you can see, the crops we've planted are basically ruined, and now it's not time for us to worry about the crops, we have to work together for the next year's food rations. Bai Yiming continued: "The crops on the high ground are not even enough to pay the public grain, let alone our rations, so from tomorrow onwards, everyone will pull out the ears of rice in the fields below and plant sweet potatoes. ”
"Those ears of rice are stained with some rice, Captain Bai, this is too wasteful, and it is also food. Someone spoke.
"Captain, why don't we wait for the rice to be harvested, drain the water, and then plant sweet potato seedlings in the field? ”
Most of them were scrapped, and now they have pulled out all the others, and they still have to die of distress?
"It's okay, I'm afraid that by then the rice will be wasted, and after flooding, no one knows if they will be able to harvest on time. After Bai Yiming made it clear, he did not force everyone to accept his opinion, "Since this is the case, everyone should go home now, clean up the house, cook and eat, go to bed early at night, and work tomorrow." ”
"By the way, let's go to the barn early tomorrow to gather, we need to divide into two teams, one team to grow sweet potatoes, and the other team to follow the families to inspect each house, and repair the problems as soon as possible. ”
With Bai Yiming's organization, the big guy's impetuous heart gradually settled down.
Song Dashan stood in the crowd, looking at Bai Yiming, who was standing opposite, arranging work in an orderly manner, his eyes were gloomy, and he turned around and walked to the back of the crowd.
After everyone dispersed, Bai Yiming called his son, "You send Shen Zhou, Shen Yuan and Biqing back, and by the way, see if their houses can still be lived." ”
"Yes, Dad. ”
Bai Xiong took down the things on Li Shenyuan and Jiang Biqing, twisted them in his hands, and walked to another road; along the way, many people's houses collapsed. When he walked to Li Shenyuan's house, Bai Xiong's heart sank, and there was a ruin in front of him, where was there a house?
Li Shenyuan panicked, "The house is gone." ”
"It's okay, Shen Yuan, I'll go back and discuss with my father to see if I can build your house as soon as possible, now many people in the village have no place to live, you will be there for a few days!" Bai Xiong pretended to be relaxed and comforted.
Li Shenyuan took a deep breath, forced himself to compose, and nodded, "Hmm." ”
"Okay, then I'll go back first, you guys clean up briefly! I need to hurry back and see what the house is like." ”
"Well, thank you, Brother Bai Xiong, for sending us back. Li Shenyuan nodded, glanced at Bai Xiong, watched him put down his things and turned to leave, and touched the soft hair on his sister's head, "Zhouzhou, our family is gone, and we will have to suffer more in the next period of time." ”
"Don't be afraid, let's go to the mountains and drag a few logs back, build a shed and live first. Li Shenzhou's tone was firm, there was a little heat in his phoenix eyes, and there was a different look on his fair and delicate little face.
Li Shenyuan smiled bitterly, "Okay, first according to what Zhou Zhou said, build a shed with wood and live first." ”
Li Shenyuan took Li Shenzhou to the foot of the mountain, and Li Shenzhou walked around the large trees, feeling sorry that the trees were too big to move.
In the end, Li Shenzhou used his spiritual power to cut down three small trees and dragged them back with his brother.
"Shen Yuan, what are you cutting down trees?" asked the middle-aged woman standing on the edge of the fallen wall.
Li Shenyuan said: "The house collapsed, so use these trees to make a shed and live in it first." ”
"Oh, then you hurry up, it's going to be dark. "Middle-aged women retract their gaze from lack of interest.
When he met people along the way, Li Shenyuan replied like this.
Before returning to the ruins, the three of them worked together, Li Shenzhou was responsible for cutting off the trunk of the tree with spiritual power, and Li Shenyuan and Jiang Biqing were responsible for building it.
Li Shenzhou saw that there was nothing to do, so he went to the mountain and dragged the remaining dry firewood down the mountain.
"Zhouzhou, why did you go up the mountain alone. Li Shenyuan touched a handful of sweat, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that she was coming back from not far away, and hurriedly rushed up to take the dry firewood she was dragging in her hand.
A large bundle of dry firewood, full of portions.
"Brother, the shed is set up! Li Shenzhou smiled and diverted the topic.
"Well, you rest for a while, brother lights the fire. Li Shenyuan dragged Chai He to the side.
Li Shenzhou walked to a hidden place, took three large sweet potatoes out of the space and put them into the fire to burn.
This night, the three of them slept in a shed, and Li Shenyuan slept in the middle, intentionally or unintentionally separating Jiang Biqing.
