Chapter 212: Releasing Water
Song Chen opened his arms and took Su Miao into his arms, and the two of them snuggled quietly, enjoying this rare quiet time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMaybe from tomorrow onwards, this tranquility will be broken. They had been coming to Lily of the Valley for so long to prepare, and it was time for it to really start working.
The next day, Song Chen and Su Miao came out of Zhuangzi in the rain. The two of them have internal strength, and they can use their strength to form a protective ring, so that the rain can't wet their hair and clothes, so they fly directly down the mountain from the yard with light power without an umbrella.
It can be said that the landlords of Lannan still dug the water conservancy well, perhaps looking at the situation of the rain, they arranged for tenants to dredge in the rain and divert the extra water to the river. But this is on higher ground, and in the low-lying rice fields, the water is also drained into the small wells dug by the family.
Song Chen and the others specially went to inspect a few well cellars, and found that they were all almost full, if it was according to the rain in previous seasons, the style that this well cellar could play was just right. But now the rain has been falling, and if it doesn't stop, it will be full in less than three days, and then the farmers can only watch the water level in the field slowly rise, and there is no other way but to pray that the rain will stop and the sun will be restored.
The river that was led to the water, Song Chen and Su Miao also went over to inspect it. Although it can still accept the stagnant water from the fields, the water level of the river itself is not shallow, and the upper reaches may also continue to rain, so the current is fast and muddy, and the gentle current used to be suitable for fishing, but according to the current situation, even if the rain stops at this moment, the water is too deep to fish.
On the side of Baiyun Villa, there are more than 800 acres of rice fields, except for more than 300 acres of terraced fields that have been reclaimed in the middle of the mountain, the rest are on flat land. The terraces were fine, and the canals they dug in their spare time all worked, and they only needed to move the stones that blocked the water in the canals, and the water naturally drained down the mountain. The flat ones are more troublesome, although they also dig canals to drain water into the river, but due to the topography, the water is not so fast.
Liufu knew the inside story of the establishment of Baiyun Villa, so after the continuous heavy rain, he did not alarm Song Chen and Su Miao, and only arranged people to do the work in the field in an orderly manner. In fact, when they built Zhuangzi, they dug a very large reservoir, but the current river outside can still divert water to it, so they did not open this reservoir. Who knows how long it will rain! If the rain doesn't stop and the water level of the river rises to the point where it can no longer be diverted, they will have this reservoir to back it up. There are still hundreds of acres of grain in this field, so it is natural to maintain it more carefully.
In this regard, Song Chen and Su Miao were very relieved about Liufu, and they didn't ask about the things in the field, and after returning to Zhuangzi, they only brought Liufu over and told them to pay attention to wearing rain gear such as clothes, don't wait for gonorrhea.
After returning to the inner courtyard, Song Chen received a flying pigeon from Lin Jin's side. Because of the continuous rain, Song Chen was afraid that the small bamboo tube he used to open would be infiltrated by water, so that not only the letterhead might be wet, but also the bamboo tube would be aggravated after absorbing the water, which would cause additional burden to the carrier pigeon that was already struggling to fly in the rain, so he specially created a cylinder made of extremely thin iron sheets instead. This kind of cylinder is lighter than the original bamboo tube, and there is no worry about expanding after absorbing water, plus the tightly sewn plug made by Song Chen, in Tang Yun's words, it is simply "perfect"!
Originally, it was easy for carrier pigeons to be in danger of losing their way when flying in the rain, but Xiao Jingyu and Su Miaoyang's carrier pigeons were more spiritual than ordinary ones, as long as the rain did not reach the level of pouring rain, there would be no problem. Song Chen took off the small iron cylinder, twisted it slightly, and then broke the metal stopper, and poured out a postcard rolled into a small congratulatory cylinder from time to time.
Lin Jin said in the letter that Binhai City and Molan City are also raining heavily, and the river on their side is almost full, and now the reservoir dug by Zhuangzi himself has also been filled with one-third of the water, and I believe that it will not last long to support it. I'm afraid things are already going the way he expected.
"Ah Chen, have you noticed that the rain seems to be getting heavier?" It was enough for Song Chen to read the letter alone, and Su Miao was playing with Xiaobai, who ran over in a hurry. Since it rained, Xiaobai has not been allowed to go up the mountain anymore, and this can be held straight to it, and he can only run around in the Zhuangzi every day. And its energy is so vigorous, such a small amount of exercise every day can't satisfy it at all.
Even Su Miao was aware of it, how could Song Chen be unaware of the change in the rain? Song Chen put the letter away, walked to the verandah and looked up at the sky for a while: "It's getting bigger, and it will continue forever." The rain clouds are too dense, but hopefully it will clear as soon as the rain intensifies. ”
"What did Master say? Is it the same as what you judged? Su Miao also walked to the verandah and looked at the sky like Song Chen.
"Yes." Song Chen looked at Xiao Bai, who followed them step by step, and came out closely, although his body was huge, his movements were very flexible, and he jumped lightly to the verandah bench where they were sitting, and suddenly thought of a question, "By the way, Miao Miao, has Xiao Bai learned to swim?" He still remembers the last time he saw Xiaobai go into the water, it was on the Zhuangzi in Selangor City, he saw people pulling nets in the lake to catch fish, and he was attracted to the net directly, but because he couldn't swim, he had to rescue him ashore......
“…… I don't know. Su Miao looked at Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai had followed him up the mountain many times, and he hadn't tried to go to the sea yet, "Why don't you throw it into the water another day?" Otherwise, if there is a flood, we will not be able to take care of it for a while, wouldn't it be bad? ”
"I think so." The reason why Song Chen asked such a question was actually thinking about the same question as Su Miao.
Although Xiaobai usually understands what Song Chen and Su Miao said to it, "swimming" is a strange word to it, it can't understand what these two masters are discussing, but it instinctively feels that things are related to it, since this is the case, it can't be silent all the time, and it has to express some opinions, so it called at them a few times and responded.
Song Chen and Su Miao looked at Xiaobai and looked at each other again: "It seems that you also agree to learn to swim?" ”
If Xiaobai knew that swimming had something to do with water, then he would definitely regret that he had responded to Song Chen and Su Miao's words. It's a pity that at this time, it was unaware of this matter, and only happily followed up with Su Miao and them, because it felt that these two masters wanted to do something "big" with it......
On the second day, Xiaobai finally knew that this big event was really a "big deal". Song Chen and Su Miao remembered that there was a pond that was not big or small on the side of their Zhuangzi's vegetable field, and they planned to take Xiaobai over there to train. Because a wooden shelf had been prepared on the vegetable patch, it was planned that when the rain did not stop and it was too heavy, a layer of straw would be spread on the shelf, so that the vegetables would not be drenched. If they go there, they can shelter from the rain under the shed in the vegetable field and watch Xiaobai swim in the pond.
Song Chen and Su Miao suddenly remembered when they arrived at the vegetable field, they had no experience in how to teach a lion to swim, and after thinking about it, Song Chen finally slapped the board, grabbed Xiaobai at a lightning speed and threw it into the middle of the pond: "A few more flutters should be enough, if you really can't, let's go catch it again!" ”
Su Miao: "......"
After poor Xiaobai was bored in the Zhuangzi for more than ten days, he was finally taken out, thinking that the two masters were going to take it to the wild, but he didn't expect it to go into the water...... It was born in the snowy fields, and although it was born with a love of ice and snow, it still hated water like other ordinary lions. At this time, it was thrown by Song Chen like this, it was first stunned, and it sank straight in the water, until the water was about to submerge its head, and then it woke up, instinctively shaking its limbs.
While shaving, trying to raise your head and roar towards the shore, what's going on?
Under the scaffolding on the other side of the vegetable patch, Song Chen and Su Miao both paid close attention to the movement in the pond, and they were a little worried when they saw that Xiaobai didn't react at first. Su Miao was ready to go over and pick it up, but was pulled by Song Chen, and saw it shaving water by itself, although it was a little embarrassed, but it didn't sink any further, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and turned to look at Song Chen: "Is it so easy for a lion to learn to swim?" ”
Song Chen smiled: "I was probably born to swim, but I haven't been in the water and haven't woken up yet." ”
They had the intention of exercising Xiaobai this time, so they didn't pay attention to Xiaobai's roar, and after seeing that Xiaobai would not sink, Song Chen and Su Miao looked around the vegetable field with great interest, discussing what vegetables they wanted to eat at night.
Xiaobai roared a few times, but no one paid attention to it, so he had to rely on himself and spread his limbs in the direction of the vegetable shed. Although it was not proficient in its movements, its limbs were strong, and after getting used to it for a while, its speed became faster, and it finally rowed to the shore, and used its limbs to the shore, and ran to Song Chen and Su Miao to protest a little angrily.
Xiaobai's whole body is soaked, although the water in the pond is not dirty, but in addition to the hair on the body is always kept dry after bathing, it is still very uncomfortable, running to the vegetable shed, it only then remembered that it can get rid of the water on its body, just right, you can "revenge" the two people who have done it badly-
It's a pity that Song Chen knows too much about its temperament, and at the beginning of its movements, he began to quickly pull Su Miao aside, perfectly avoiding the "attack" of those water droplets. (To be continued.) )
