More than ten minutes later...

Just as Li Chen led the crowd and began to descend the mountain, a flickering light appeared not far away.

Li Chen, who was walking in front, could be sure that this was the people of Xinzhong Village! After all, apart from Xinzhong Village, where did this large group of people come from to climb the mountain road in the rain early in the morning.

couldn't help but be overjoyed, relying on the all-round improvement of physical fitness, rushed to the front of the team.

After Li Chen made contact with the person opposite, the team that followed behind was still more than twenty meters away from him.

At the front were several old men and young people, and after they saw Li Chen, one of the old men broke free from the young man's support and took a few steps forward.

The old man shone the flashlight in his hand at Li Chen's face, causing him to squint.

"You're Li Chen from Dingzhu Village! I know you. ”

"What?" Li Chen asked loudly, and couldn't help but approach the old man.

It was really raining too much, and the other side was not talking very loudly, so Li Chen only heard a vague voice, but he didn't hear it very clearly.

"I said, you are Li Chen from Dingzhu Village!" the other party raised his voice to speak, and at the same time said this sentence more affirmatively.

Hearing this, Li Chen didn't feel strange, and said loudly: "Yes, old man, we are here to help you, what is the situation in the village now?"

"Now that the water has started to spread to less than 100 meters from the entrance of the village, the villagers in our village started to build a waterproof water barrier in front of the village yesterday. After a pause, he continued: "But at this speed, it is estimated that it will be too late." ”

Li Chen knew about the manpower situation of Xinzhong Village, and when he first became the head of the village, the fourth uncle had already told him.

It has a population of more than 400 people, but because the village is not as blessed with environmental resources as Dingzhu Village, most of the young and middle-aged strong people have left the village to work outside to make money.

Most of the people left in the village are old people and children, and now it is estimated that there are only thirty or forty strong forces that can block the water, if it were not for the fact that their village began to develop handicrafts in the past two years, it is estimated that even fewer will remain in the village!

"Well, I see, we are ready to receive it in the village, and you don't have to worry about food and shelter when you arrive. ”

Looking at the team that had already arrived here, Li Chen couldn't delay any longer, and said to the old man: "Don't say more, you should pay more attention to safety when you go down the mountain, the road is slippery and steep!"

"Thank you, thank you. The old man bowed.

provoked Li Chen to quickly dodge, waved his hand and said, "This can't be, isn't this a sacrifice of my life." ”

"Let's go first, you guys be careful. With that, he hurried to follow the villagers.

Since this underground fiber optic cable road is not very large, the women and children of Xinzhong Village took the initiative to stand aside and get out of the way.

Although he couldn't hear what he was saying, Li Chen could still guess from the sparse words that he was sending them a good person card.

Looking at the villagers of Xinzhong Village who are either raincoats or umbrellas, from their fear, crying or sleepiness... I can't help but feel that nature is the most terrible natural enemy of human beings.

Looking at the sparse lights in the village below, I knew that it was already empty, maybe... It won't be long before it is submerged.

Li Chen didn't understand a little, why the ancestors of Xinzhong Village wanted to build the village at such a water outlet, isn't this asking for trouble!

…………

The way down the mountain was much smoother, and the speed of the descent was faster.

Arriving at the mountain behind the village, Li Chen saw that the side of the road was covered with large and small rain cloths or plastic sheets covered with 'dirt bags'.

Passing by a 'dirt bag' covered with plastic film, Li Chen took a curious look, and through the plastic film, he could roughly see what was breaded inside.

There is a quilt, there is a TV, there is a backpack, clothes......

Seeing this, Li Chen understood that these were all the belongings of the people in the village, and they were all brought up and put away.

It's no wonder that most of the villagers in Xinzhong Village I saw just now looked tired, and they thought they had moved things all night!

After knowing what it was, Li Chen deliberately looked at the crowd behind, also afraid that someone would be greedy.

After all, in the countryside, the favorite thing is to be greedy and cheap, and for this reason, there are many scammers who take advantage of this to earn the hard-earned money of the people.

……

It's already past eight o'clock, but because of the heavy rain, it's not much different from the night, at most you can see the silhouette of a person a meter or two away, relying on the light of a headlamp or flashlight!

Looking back, the villagers only glanced at it and hurried by, as could be seen by the movement of their lights.

Li Chen smiled with relief, at least no one was greedy at this moment, and even if there was, it was suppressed.

Just as he was about to turn around and continue walking, suddenly Li Chen saw a light constantly approaching a pile of villagers' belongings.

Li Chen simply turned off his headlamp, and approached the person who seemed to be stealing by the faint light and the way illuminated by the headlamps of the villagers on the road.

It was less than two meters before he came to the front, because the rain was too heavy, so this person did not notice Li Chen's approach.

Li Chen could see his movements clearly!

Seeing that he was wearing a blue one-piece raincoat, the back of the raincoat was slightly bulging, thinking that he was carrying a backpack or something, with a headlamp on his head and a mobile phone in his hand.

With the light emitted by the screen of his mobile phone, Li Chen could probably see clearly that the mobile phone was shielded from the rain by him with transparent plastic, and judging by its irregular shape, it should have been made by himself.

Li Chen took a big step forward, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted, "What are you doing!"

I saw that the man seemed to be taken aback and fell to the ground unprepared, but the mobile phone was still tightly grasped in his hand, as if the mobile phone was very important to him.

You must know that after the average person falls, if it is not something that they care about very much, they will often let go inadvertently.

Li Chen didn't go up to help, but shouted while turning on the headlamp: "This is an item from Xinzhong Village, don't ruin the reputation of our village for the sake of greed!"

When the light shone on the man's face, he subconsciously covered his face with his hands.

But Li Chen found that this was not 'him', but 'her'!

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the person is not a villager in the village, then it can only be a tourist!

At this moment, Li Chen was very angry!

The people who came were not only women, but also tourists, and sure enough, they died for their sense of honor and curiosity!

And if she looks like she's going to steal something! When the thing is gone, will she be suspected of stealing it from someone in their village?

Although the small things that can be picked up in the countryside are not very valuable, Li Chen, who has lived in the city for several years, knows that for tourist attractions, reputation is valuable!

Seeing that she is still carrying a backpack, she is obviously prepared!

Li Chen, who had always been highly nervous, braved the heavy rain and shouted to the girl:

"Didn't you hear what I said when I was in the square? Tourists are not allowed to come! Tourists are not allowed to come! You are deaf, what should you do if there is any danger?"

At this moment, Li Chen was very angry:

"I was even ready to take advantage of the chaos to steal the property of the villagers, and when I was discovered, I lost the face of you and your family, and the reputation of the country, do you know!"
