Chapter 41: Missing

The weather was too hot to be avoided, and in the afternoon of this day, the sky suddenly changed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info lightning and thunder, heavy rain pouring, overwhelming. Soon, the whole world was swallowed up by the rain.

The wind was blowing and the rain was pouring down.

The fire-like earth suddenly became cool.

"Wow! It's raining! ”

In the entire Cuizhu Bay, the shouting shook the sky, and it was almost comparable to the rolling thunder. The villagers ran to celebrate, cheered in the storm, and let the raindrops the size of beans fall on them. Many of them wept with joy and laughter in their eyes.

It's raining, it's finally raining!

If it doesn't rain, everyone won't be able to survive!

There are only a few springs in the mountains, and they have all become very small trickles. Every day, the amount of water you drink must be controlled, and it is a luxury to take a bath and wash your face.

Everyone hasn't taken a shower for a long time. The weather is so hot, even if I hide in the mountains, I still feel the heat wave rolling, and my mood is very irritable.

It's raining, and the hard days are finally over!

The torment and fear that has been going on for so long has finally passed!

It's raining, and now it's still time to plant a crop, and you can harvest a season of grain in the fall, so you won't have to leave your hometown and help the old and the young to beg for food.

Men, women, and children, except for the sick, all stood in the rain one by one, not caring about the whole family, and they all became chickens in the soup. As if the storm was a gentle drizzle, the young man opened his mouth and let the rain fall in his mouth, gulping down.

The violent wind and rain washed away the dirt on everyone's body. From head to toe, it is much refreshed and no longer sour and smelly. The sticky hair, even without shampoo, was much softer under the strong rainstorm.

Standing under the eaves and stretching out his hand, he could feel the power of the raindrops hitting his palm, which was very strong.

The wind and rain were raging, Rao was standing under the eaves, and her whole body was quickly soaked.

There was no joy in her eyes, but she was gradually infected by sorrow.

If such a storm does not stop for three days in a row, the possibility of flooding will be extremely high.

As for the flood, she had actually reminded the village chief and the old patriarch long before the drought. However, to this day, for the sake of solemnity, she still reminded the village chief again: "Grandpa the village chief, this situation is not right, and it is very likely that there will be floods." I recommend that you prepare as early as possible! ”

Seeing that her expression was so serious, the village chief was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm in a hurry for the young adults in the village to clean up the drainage ditch!" ”

Dongfang Huajin recalled the shallow, undisciplined drainage ditch, and frowned slightly: "It's not enough to clean it up, you must dig deep, it's best to build it with stones or green bricks!" ”

The village chief was embarrassed and said: "There is no problem in digging deeply, it is very difficult to build it with stones or green bricks, I'm afraid it can't be done!" ”

With such a big storm, where are you going to pick up stones? Green bricks, you have to go to a brick kiln far away to buy, now this situation, it is estimated that the brick kiln has long been out of production. Alas, he had known that before the great drought, he should have heeded Xiaocao's advice, re-excavated the drainage ditch, and built it with stones.

It's just that in this world, there is no regret medicine.

For today's plan, I have to make amends.

Fortunately, the Oriental Painting Brocade House, the ancestral hall, the school, the drainage system of the entire area are all very good. Moreover, they are all blue brick houses with three feet of walls, and they are all made of stone. The drainage system is made of green bricks and pebbles, as well as the soil and cement that Oriental Painting Brocade has carved out by itself.

After building the ancestral hall and the school, Dongfang Huajin also paid his own money and asked someone to dig the fish pond at the east end of the village about three feet deep. In addition, stones and green bricks were used to widen the dam by one foot and increase the height by two feet. Two small wharves were built with green bricks and stone slabs for the villagers to wash clothes and pigweed.

The water source of this fish pond is a clear spring in the mountains, and it is quite clean. The sewage in the drainage ditch flows directly into the small river in front of the fish pond from the drainage ditch, and it is strictly forbidden to discharge it into the fish pond. However, in the event of a flood, when the drainage is not enough, this fish pond can play a buffering role.

As for Dongfang Huajin's own home, there are two small fish ponds, and after returning from the mountains, she has already organized domestic servants to dig the fish ponds about three feet deep. The topography of Cuizhu Bay is slightly higher than that of other villages. Therefore, as long as there is no flash flood, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of Cuizhu Bay.

Regarding the matter of the drainage ditch, Dongfang Huajin mentioned a few words to the village chief, and then completely ignored it. Together with her eldest brother Ye Mao, she went to the county seat to find a doctor with very good medical skills, and at a high price of twenty taels of silver a month, the doctor and the doctor's family were all taken to Cuizhuwan, just in case.

This doctor is over 40 years old, and he is good at treating internal diseases, and he is very unique and experienced in plague, dysentery, and typhoid.

Twenty taels of silver a month, and also provide accommodation and food for the whole family, in this special period when food is more expensive than gold, Dr. Li did not hesitate, and responded very happily.

Cuizhu Bay is now very famous in the entire water county.

In the past **, there were zero deaths and a few minor injuries in Cuizhuwan, which made the people of the entire Shui County very shocked and envious.

Moreover, Cuizhu Bay is backed by the mountain, and it is also extremely convenient for Dr. Li to go up the mountain to collect medicine. His wife and children also know herbal medicine, especially his two sons, who have studied medicine with him for more than ten years and are his right-hand men. When the family went to Cuizhuwan, they could often go up the mountain to collect medicines, and the herbs they picked were sold and they should be able to accumulate a lot of silver money in a year.

Before, he fled in a hurry, only having time to bring a small amount of gold and silver, and a change of clothes, shoes and socks, so he fled into the mountains in a panic. After the war, when I returned to the county seat, my home, shop and house were all destroyed and almost no one lived. All the property has long been robbed.

The oriental painting brocade of Cuizhu Bay, Dr. Li has also heard of it.

This is an admirable good girl, her father is still a high-ranking officer, and the family has a very good character.

Dr. Li took the initiative to sign a three-year living contract.

Oriental Painting Brocade allocated a small courtyard of the carpenter's workshop to house Dr. Li's family of ten, three main rooms, three wing rooms on the left and right, two ear rooms, and a gatehouse. Six adults and four children, such a courtyard is much better than a house in the county seat. Out of the small courtyard, there are vegetable fields, wells, and fields, and the range of activities is very spacious.

Dr. Li's family is very satisfied.

The wind and rain were five days at once, but it still didn't stop. The water of the small river, the water of the big river, the water of the pond, is rising day by day. So far, it has exceeded the warning line of all dynasties!

Farmland has been washed away and houses have collapsed.

It's obviously late spring, but this wind and rain make people feel a biting chill. The thunder and lightning were so thrilling.

The storm rained for ten days in a row, and it did not stop.

In many places, villages and towns have been flooded, or flash floods have erupted. In Cuizhuwan, in addition to the flooding of the fields, the situation in the village is okay. Submerged, collapsed houses, only a few.

Four large drainage ditches have been dug in the village, and from morning to night, there are people on duty in turn, and if a blockage is found, they are immediately dredged. The water from these four drainage ditches flows into several small ponds that have been temporarily excavated, which were originally depressions and are much lower than the villages.

And Cuizhu Bay is not threatened by flash floods.

However, the people in the village couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and have palpitations.

The old patriarch sighed: "Fortunately, Xiaocao warned everyone not to cut down at will. Moreover, if you want to cut firewood, you have to cut it three miles away. Fortunately, otherwise, we should not be able to escape the tragic end of the flash flood! ”

The village chief nodded: "Xiaocao, that child, is a good one, she is the great fortune star of Cuizhu Bay!" ”

In fact, since three years ago, the child has taken the lead in planting trees. In front of the house, behind the house, at the foot of the mountain, on the mountain, whenever she has the opportunity, she will plant a few trees. Moreover, she also led a group of people, as long as she cut down a tree, she would replant a tree at the place where the tree was cut.

Every day, she planted more than a thousand trees. Also, under her influence, her family, and people who are close to her family, everyone added up to replant trees, and it is estimated that there must be three or five thousand, right?

She mentioned that every spring, the village chief sets aside a day to lead the villagers to plant trees. In the past three years, the area around Cuizhu Bay has become more and more verdant. The air is much better than in other villages.

The storm lasted for half a month, and then it was unwilling to stop. Throughout Shuixian County, many houses have collapsed, and in some places even entire villages have been submerged.

Even the county seat was almost not saved.

Countless fields have been destroyed.

Misfortune does not go alone, and the plague broke out at this time.

More people have been displaced and their families have been destroyed.

Cuizhuwan and the five neighboring villages were fortunately prepared, and basically every household prepared a large number of herbs. These herbs are mainly divided into the following three types: those that can treat wind, cold, and cold, those that can treat trauma, and those that can treat plague.

Cuizhuwan made a decision under the advice of the old patriarch and the village chief in the Oriental Painting Brocade, and ordered the village to be closed again, and only allowed to go to the back mountain to dig herbs, wild vegetables and hunt. In addition, a large number of laborers were concentrated and a house was built in the mountains at an accelerated pace. Once someone is found to be infected with the plague, they are immediately transferred to a house in the mountains and isolated for treatment.

When Song Ci heard the news, he couldn't help but be very worried, and his thoughts about Oriental Painting Brocade reached its peak.
