Chapter 223: Uncle Ke's Worries
Standing on the top of the mountain, Ye Jingting looked at the small village below and couldn't help shouting.
"Are you sick?" Li Chen looked at her in surprise.
Ye Jingting was in a good mood and replied indifferently: "You are just sick, I am expressing my depressed feelings." ”
"Shouldn't you go to the mountains to shout to feel it..."
"It's not high, look at it, how small the village looks!" Ye Jingting said with an exaggerated face.
Li Chen didn't care, "Where is this, if you go to the top of Little Finger Peak, you can see everywhere, and there are white clouds and blue skies everywhere, then it is called high." ”
Hearing Li Chen's words, Ye Jingting seemed to think of a beautiful scenery of a fairyland on earth, and couldn't help but say with a light in her eyes: "It's okay to go up together next time." ”
"Not good. Li Chen refused without a little hesitation.
What are you kidding, now it's only a mountain that is not too high, you are tired, you want to go to Little Finger Peak, then you have to walk for a few days and nights!
Ye Jingting didn't speak, and looked at him with tender Danfeng eyes.
Li Chen shuddered: "What are you going to do?"
Looking at Li Chen's expression of 'I don't know anything', Ye Jingting changed to an affectionate gaze.
Li Chen retreated, "I'm afraid of you, when there is a suitable time in the future, I will naturally take you up to have a look." ”
As for what is the right time, it doesn't depend on his decision?
I don't know if Ye Jingting doesn't know, or if she just wants to reply, so she patted Li Chen's shoulder teachably.
After resting on the mountain again for a while, it was time to descend. Although the descent is not strenuous, you need to be more careful, otherwise it is easy to fall over.
Fortunately, Ye Jingting didn't shout tired this time, but walked more slowly, with a branch in her left hand and Li Chen in her right hand.
Along the way, Li Chen's voice spoke:
"Slow down. ”
"Keep your feet on it. ”
"The stone is already loose, don't you pay attention? ”
"Go this way, it's too slippery over there. ”
……
Halfway down, Li Chen looked at the yellow and white under the mountain, and frowned a little. He knew that it was all sand and gravel brought up by the flood, and he didn't know the thickness of the sand and gravel layer, but he knew that the fields and houses in Xinzhong Village were all submerged.
and Ye Jingting went down to the back mountain of the village, and the place where household appliances, clothes and quilts were originally placed was empty, and I didn't know where to move to put it.
After walking a little further, several two-story mobile houses were built on the flat land of a hillside, and there were not many people in them, and they probably went down to the village to help.
Li Chen and Ye Jingting walked over and saw that there were only three or three people here, among them was Uncle Ke, who was smoking a homemade bamboo cigarette, covered in dry and hard mud.
Li Chen walked over quickly and beckoned, "Uncle Ke." ”
Uncle Ke, who was smoking, raised his head suspiciously, and when he saw that it was Li Chen, he said, "Oh, it's Xiao Chen, why are you here?"
"I'll come over and see, what's going on here?"
Hearing this, Uncle Ke said with a little sadness on his face: "What else, the houses in the village can no longer be inhabited, and the farmland is covered with sediment, and I don't know when I want to get rid of it." ”
"Is the sediment accumulating deeply?" Li Chen frowned.
"It's about half a meter, the key is such a large area, I don't know how long it will take." As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a puff of bamboo cigarette, and the sound of water inside was "gurgling".
"Rest assured, the government should arrange for machines to help remove the sediment, and it will only take a few days at most. Li Chen comforted, what he said was also the truth, using excavators and forklifts, more than half a meter of sediment was easily cleaned up.
"You don't have to worry too much about the houses in the village, the government should help you rebuild them, and this place is famous, and there are many more donations from the society. ”
"Really?" Uncle Ke choked on the smoke and looked excited.
"Yes, really. Li Chen replied in the affirmative.
"That's good, that's good," Uncle Ke murmured in a low voice.
"By the way, uncle, where did these prefabricated houses come from?" Li Chen looked at the Tianluo River.
"Oh, these are brought from the other side of the river, and although the water is a little fierce, the bigger boats can still get in while the water is rising. ”
Ye Jingting, who was left behind, also walked over, stopped beside Li Chen, and looked at him suspiciously, as if asking, "Why did you run so fast just now?"
Li Chen shook his head, and then said to Uncle Ke, who was losing his mind: "Uncle, then I'll go down and take a look, you can rest first." ”
Uncle Ke raised his head and responded: "Hey, okay..."
After seeing Ye Jingting, he smiled and said, "This is your daughter-in-law, right? ”
"Uncle. Ye Jingting also responded obediently, and stood quietly beside Li Chen.
"What a good girl, hehe. Uncle Ke nodded in response, pointed to the village below, and reminded: "When you go down, don't go to a place with mud and sand, it looks solid, but it will sink." ”
After thanking Uncle Ke for his kind reminder, the two walked towards the village below.
……
Walking around the village, I saw that there was mud everywhere, and the whole village was a mess, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of branches, planks, garbage, and all kinds of bits and pieces.
The villagers are also working in full swing......
Picking up garbage, shoveling sediment, removing dangerous obstacles, etc., along the way, all the villagers were covered in mud and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Occasionally, a messy branch is dragged out, and a big fish will pop out.
After walking around, I came directly to the vicinity of the entrance of the village, looking at the yellow mud and sand outside, and a large flock of birds feeding on the mud and sand.
Thinking about what I just said to Uncle Ke, I guess it's a bit too idealistic, the area covered by sediment is too large, and these places are not flat land.
Looking at the bored Ye Jingting, Li Chen shrugged helplessly, "Look, I'll just say that there's nothing to see, you want to come and join in the fun." ”
"On a whim. Ye Jingting stuck out her tongue in response, and then said pitifully: "I'll have to go back later, but what should I do, I think about climbing such a far mountain, I'm so desperate." ”
Li Chen nodded Ye Jingting's forehead: "You can do it, see if you want to climb the pinky finger peak with me in the future." ”
"I dare. Ye Jingting pouted, "It's a completely different feeling to see with and without the scenery, okay!"
Li Chen didn't comment on Ye Jingting's mouth cannon, if he really took her up, it is estimated that after seeing the scenery, he would definitely complain when he went down the mountain.
After Li Chen looked at it for a while, he said to Ye Jingting: "Let's go, let's go back." ”
"Ahh That's fast. Ye Jingting had a bitter face, a look of reluctance.
"I just came to take a look, do you think you're here for a vacation?" Li Chen said angrily: "I think you're too lazy to leave." ”
"Okay, let's go, let's go, you're the head of the family, it's all up to you. Ye Jingting pushed Li Chen's waist, obviously being scared by Li Chen.
