Chapter 311: After the Rain
Coming out of the space, Cai Yazhi was placed on the kang, and Zhang Taiping was about to walk out again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info whole \ this // small \ say // net \
Cai Yazhi hurriedly asked, "What are you still doing when you go out?" She went out late, so she didn't see the pond overflowing on the shore, nor did she go to the river to see the big whirlpool in the river that cut off the river, so she didn't know what Zhang Taiping was going out to do again.
"Nothing, I'll go to the river and get the shovel and gourd back." Zhang Taiping put on a raincoat again and replied.
After going out, he saw a flashlight shaking by the river where he put the gourd, and his heart was sudden, and he hurried towards that side.
When they reached the river, the man with the flashlight heard the click of his feet on the rain, and the flashlight shone in this direction.
"Is it a handsome?" The voice of the old village chief.
Zhang Taiping looked at the river, the whirlpool was still there, and secretly relieved and asked, "Why did the uncle come here now?" ā
The village chief removed the flashlight from Zhang Taiping's face, shone it on the shovel by the river and asked, "Is this your shovel?" ā
Zhang Taiping nodded, and suddenly thought that it was because others didn't have such vision as themselves in the dark night, and they might not be able to see and nod, so he replied again: "Yes, Yazhi and I were worried about the pond overflowing just now, so we came out to take a look." Yazhi accidentally twisted her foot and just sent her back. ā
"It's really easy to twist her feet when it's covered in water, is she okay?" The old village chief nodded and asked.
Zhang Taiping replied: "It's not serious, just rest for two days." ā
"That's good," the village chief began to tell the reason why he had come here, "or it was raining too much at night, so I didn't worry, so I got up to see, who would have thought that the river was even submerged on the road, and there was water everywhere, and there was no place for people to put their feet." But the strange thing is that the rain did not lighten, but the water in it was smaller, and the road surface also came out, so I was afraid that the water had flowed elsewhere and went up the river to see. ā
The flashlight shone on the whirlpool inside and said: "I didn't expect this phenomenon to appear here, such a big whirlpool, and all the upstream river water seems to have been sucked in." ā
Zhang Taiping echoed and said, "I was also strange just now, so I took a look here." ā
The old village chief frowned and said, "Isn't it an underground river?" Like the underground river in your pond? ā
Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "It's possible." ā
"I just didn't know that so much water flowed into the underground river, and it didn't affect the well water."
"We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out."
The old village chief sighed: "Alas, then we can only wait for tomorrow, this rain is too big." With that, he turned and left, but not in the direction of his house, and apparently had to look elsewhere.
Zhang Taiping looked at the back of the old village chief and said slightly, grassroots cadres who serve people wholeheartedly like this have long been rare, and it is really fortunate and fortunate to have such a village chief in the village.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was close to six o'clock in the morning when the thunder died down, and the rain subsided, leaving only a drizzling rain.
Zhang Taiping looked at the sky and it was not too early, summoned the gourd out of the water, and the gourd stopped absorbing water as soon as his mind moved, and the upstream river water rushed down again, but at this time, there was no heavy rain to think that it would follow, and the river would be smaller and smaller than it was already within the accommodating range of the small river, and it could not spread to the pavement on both sides of the riverbank.
Grasping the gourd in his hand and checking it, it was still as light as before, as if there was so much water last night was not like here, and immersed his mind in the gourd, as always, calm, deep, blue, and lifeless.
Not long after Zhang Taiping put the gourd into the space, there was a village name wearing a straw hat and carrying an iron shovel along the river. Last night's heavy rain was felt even by those who slept deeply, and in the morning they were startled by the overflowing road of the river, and they all walked around to visit.
Cai Yazhi was still asleep after returning home with the shovel, she was indeed shocked and tired after the fuss last night, Zhang Taiping did not disturb her, and gently withdrew from the bedroom, followed by Wukong who was tiptoeing.
Just after washing his face, a group of small things came over to beg for food, Zhang Taiping turned his hand and gave Wukong a big peach and a few strawberries to Xiaoxi. The two parrots, who usually forage for their own food, also came to join in the fun, and Zhang Taiping also gave them some strawberries.
Last night, it was estimated that none of the family members slept soundly, and they all got up early in the morning. The fiery red fox disappeared without a trace again, the three little foxes kept "chirping" hungry, Fan Ming didn't have time to wash and went to the backyard to squeeze some goat's milk and came back to feed the three little foxes with a bottle.
Zhang Taiping went to the garden again, last night's pond water was wanton, and some of the lavender was flooded, but it was not too serious. The ground was completely watered by the rain, and he couldn't get off his feet at all, and what he brought up under one foot was a large ball of mud, and it was really inconvenient to walk, so Zhang Taiping didn't force himself into the ground to check.
When she returned to the house, Cai Yazhi had already gotten up and was cooking breakfast.
Zhang Taiping asked, "What's wrong, how do you feel about your feet?" ā
"It's not a big deal, I just looked at it and the swelling has subsided, and I can't feel pain as long as I don't twist my ankle on the ground." Cai Yazhi looked back and said with a bright smile Zhang Taiping.
Zhang Taiping asked Cai Yazhi to sit on the bench and forcibly took off her shoes to take a look, not because he had any bad habits, but because he couldn't be sloppy, although twisting his foot was not a big deal, but if the treatment and recuperation were not in place, it would leave the root of the disease, which is the so-called "familiar injury" that rural people say, and it is easy to commit it again in the future, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will twist your foot in the same place on your foot and neck.
After carefully inspecting it, I was relieved, there was really nothing serious, the blue and purple had been eliminated, and there was no trace of last night's twisting.
Putting on her shoes, Zhang Taiping said again: "Although it seems that there is no problem, it is better for you to rest for a few more days, and in these two days, you should not move around at will, and do not do any work." Do you hear that? ā
Cai Yazhi's face was red as if she had been smeared with a layer of rouge, and she nodded lightly when she heard this.
Fan Ming had already come in, and when Zhang Taiping was done, he asked, "Sister Cai twisted her foot?" ā
Cai Yazhi gently rubbed her cheeks, which were a little hot, and replied, "I accidentally twisted it last night." ā
"I'll go and ask Grandpa Zhang to get you some to come over." As he spoke, he prepared to go out.
Cai Yazhi hurriedly shouted: "No need, it's already fine." In her opinion, this is really a little injury, there is no need to trouble this and that, a little embarrassed.
Zhang Taiping knew that she didn't want to work hard for a small matter, and there was really no big problem, so he said to Fan Ming: "Okay, no need, you have been watching her for the past two days and don't let her run around." ā
"Order!" Fan Ming raised her head and saluted, then turned to Cai Yazhi, "Hehe, Sister Cai, you have to be in my charge for the past two days." ā
After breakfast, the light rain stopped, and although the clouds did not immediately open to see the sun, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the sky.
Zhang Taiping went to the village to see what kind of damage the water had caused last night. Wukong also came out, it was smart, and climbed on Zhang Taiping's shoulder at the door, avoiding walking in muddy water. He was followed by a lion.
Along the way, the road was covered with two or three inches of mud and sand, which was the after-effect of last night's flood. When Zhang Taiping came to the door of the village chief's house, there was no one here today, and even the old village chief was no longer there.
Zhang Taiping asked strangely: "Auntie, why is there no one here today?" ā
"You know there was a lot of water last night, you know?"
Zhang Taiping nodded in understanding.
The village chief's aunt continued: "The water is so great that not only the main road has been flooded, but also the homes of people in the north of the village near the river. ā
Zhang Taiping thanked him and walked north in the direction he had pointed out, although the village was far away from the hillside and there was no danger of landslides, but it was inevitably close to both sides of the river, and the river could be flooded if it swelled. If it weren't for the fact that he got up in the middle of the night last night and did something, then it wouldn't be as simple as two or three.
From a distance, I saw a group of people around a house sighing, and when Zhang Taiping walked to him, the old village chief just nodded and did not speak.
Wang Peng stepped forward and said, "It rained very hard last night, and there was water!" Big brother knows? ā
Zhang Taiping nodded, the house of the two was high in the south, and the yard was still more than ten meters away from the river, and no matter how big the water was, it would not be able to flood the houses of the two families. Wang Peng didn't have any personal feelings about this kind of house being flooded, and his voice was a little loud, and he was stopped by Zhang Taiping from continuing to speak with his eyes.
When I went to the house and looked closely, I found that it was flooded, but at best, it was just flooded into the house, but even this was not something that these old earthen walls built in the early years could bear. Half of the wall was soft after being blistered, and I don't know if it can support the beams above. Anyway, it's a dilapidated house now, and it can't be inhabited.
Zhang Taiping was a little lucky in his heart, his house was built with the earliest kind of old bricks, not necessarily as strong as the current blue brick and cement houses, but he was not afraid of rain and wind.
The owner of this house is a pair of old people, the son and daughter-in-law are working outside, leaving a grandson to be taken care of by the old man. As for the accommodation for these two days, I can only temporarily stay in the daughter's house in the neighboring village.
There are also two houses that have also been affected, but they are just so serious that they can live in peace when the sun is shining.
After comforting the two old men, everyone dispersed, and when they walked back, everyone was still talking about this matter, many of them were worried about their own houses, and some people wondered if it was time to build a cement bungalow.
The old village chief didn't speak all the way, probably thinking about it.
