The embankment is earthy, more than 10 meters high, more than 10 meters wide at the bottom, to the top of the embankment, the embankment is only more than three meters wide, because it is run over by rural walk-behind tractors, the embankment is very rotten, there is sewage and mud everywhere, it is very difficult to walk.

Yu Yuanbei was actually very strange in his heart, and he didn't know why Jiang Xinwei suddenly had to take such a dirt road. In his opinion, the scenery here is far from being as good as Gong Xueqin said, at most it can be regarded as an idyllic scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. And beyond the embankment is a vast ocean, except for the lake water. If you like the water, you can enjoy it here.

Jiang Xinwei walked unhurriedly, his eyes swept over the farm in the embankment from time to time, and his mind kept searching for the memories of his previous life, but it was difficult to find many matches, or there were not many memories in his mind at all, and he couldn't be affectionate at all.

Jiang Xinwei couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Just then, a farmer approached with a buffalo in tow.

Jiang Xinwei greeted with a smile: "Hello, uncle." What is this village called?"

The peasant glanced at Jiang Xinwei and Yu Yuanbei, and when he saw that they were brightly dressed, he replied with a polite smile: "This is Lansan Village." Yu Yuanbei stepped forward and gave him a cigarette. The farmer took the cigarette, looked at it, smiled and asked, "What a cigarette." You're a yacht company, right?"

Jiang Xinwei nodded and said, "Yes." We went out for a walk and saw what was going on here. Uncle's surname?"

The farmer put the cigarette in his mouth and smiled as he pulled the lighter out of his pocket: "My surname is Nie." …… Hehe, what is there to sell in this country? Except for rice, which is cotton. These things are useless and not valuable. Unless you are a second-class dealer and drive a big ship to transport, you can only lose money. ”

Jiang Xinwei smiled: "There should be eels, turtles, chickens and ducks, and pigs here." Master Nie, don't have any of these things?"

Master Nie smiled: "There are these, but there are not many of them now." The farmland used too much chemical fertilizer, and the fish cubs were poisoned. Chickens and ducks or something, everyone basically raises and eats by themselves. …… If you want to buy pork, you can go to the Tan family pig farm in Jinshui Village, where he has a lot of pigs and should have cheap pork to sell. ”

Jiang Xinwei suddenly chuckled in his heart, and blurted out, "Tan Family Pig Farm?"

Master Nie didn't notice anything unusual, and said naturally: "Yes, it is the pig farm run by the family surnamed Tan in Jinshui Village, which raises more than 100 pigs. …… However, it is far from here, and it didn't rain heavily last night? The soil on the embankment was loosened by the rain. It's not a good two miles to walk, and you're all wearing leather shoes, so it's even harder. ”

Jiang Xinwei ignored his words, but looked into the distance and muttered something: "August 1996, Tanjia Pig Farm...... It's mid-July......"

At this time, some images from his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind:

He remembered that there were a few guests from his hometown at home. I don't know what it was talking about, but one of the guests said, "...... In 1996, there was a big flood in Zihongzhou, and the Tan family pig farm was really unlucky. So many pigs were swept away by the flood. The flood rushed against his family's pig farm, and the locust tree in the sunyard of the pig farm was washed away to nowhere. Those pigs were so pitiful, they all drowned. A few dead pigs also rushed to the dirt hill in the middle of the continent. It was a sunny day, and no one expected that the earthen embankment would collapse. …… , alas, also fortunately it was a sunny day, and only three people died. If the levee collapses on a rainy night, we don't know how many people will die, and maybe we will all be swept away by the flood and drowned. ”

At that time, another guest casually replied, "Who can blame the Tan family for their losses? The day before, a pig dealer came to the door to collect his pigs." But he didn't sell it because the price was too low. If he sells it, won't there be such a thing? Hey, don't say it's a pig, such a big flood, even people drowned several people. At that time, an engineer from the Water Conservancy Bureau told him that this section of the embankment was dangerous, and that he needed to arrange more people to guard it and carry more sand and gravel to press the foot of the embankment, but he was too tired because he was constantly inspecting the work on the embankment. After hearing the engineer's words, he did not ask his superiors for sand and gravel in time, but lay down on the embankment and fell asleep, he deserved his bad luck. ”

The guest who started talking about it smiled and said, "It's us who should be glad we did." If it hadn't collapsed in 1996, and if it hadn't been for the fact that the state spent so much money to make the levees taller and thicker the following year, and we would have been exposed to the bigger floods of 1998, we would have been even worse. Xinwei, you haven't seen your hometown for many years, the flood in 98 was really big, if the old embankment is not repaired, even the top of the embankment will be submerged. At that time, your father said that it was thanks to the state that it took so much money to repair the embankment. ”

……

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinwei couldn't help but feel excited.

He immediately said goodbye to Master Nie and walked forward quickly, he wanted to see the location and situation of the Tan family's pig farm that Master Nie said.

The Tan family pig farm is very famous, and the pig farm is built in an open field only about 400 meters away from the foot of the embankment, which is very easy to find.

In fact, Jiang Xinwei and Yu Yuanbei were walking on the embankment, and they were still three or four hundred meters away from the pig farm, when they smelled the stench of pig manure in the air, and a sour smell of swill floated up at the foot of the embankment.

This is the smell of people on the pig farm who carry swill from the canteen and drop it on the ground.

From afar, Jiang Xinwei saw the pig farm located in a field, and also saw the old locust tree that the guests in their previous life talked about when they chatted at home.

This old locust tree grows right next to the pig farm. It's just that now it has a lot of plastic bags and rotten pieces of cloth on it, and a lot of weeds piled up under the roots of the tree, and it doesn't look like a tree at all, but more like a garbage heap from a distance.

When he arrived at the embankment in front of the pig farm, Jiang Xinwei carefully inspected the embankment, trying to find the cause of the collapse of the embankment. It's a pity that he is not a water conservancy expert, so he can't see if there is a problem with the earthen embankment here.

After watching it for a while, he gave up his efforts to find his old home, and instead walked down the earthen embankment and walked towards the stinking pig farm. And Yu Yuanbei was left on the embankment by him to be on guard.

He didn't want his actions to be more suspicious of Yu Yuanbei, Yu Yuanbei must have felt strange during this time.

There is a road more than three meters wide from the foot of the embankment to the pig farm, but the road is crushed by the tractor that transports the pigs, and there are deep and large sewage pits everywhere, which Jiang Xinwei can not walk in leather shoes at all.

Jiang Xinxu bypassed a section of the road, followed a rugged and curving ridge not far away, and approached the pig farm from the other direction.

When he was about to get to the locust tree, a middle-aged man came out of the pig farm. Seeing him, the middle-aged man was stunned, patting his hands stained with grass clippings while staring at them.

When Jiang Xinxu approached, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"
