Just when Du Xiqing was eagerly looking forward to Zhu Ziyu being able to bring Zhu Yu back to him, the weather in Pingyue Valley began to become extremely abnormal.

The weather seemed to be getting hotter by the day, and the crops in the fields were all listless. In order not to reduce the yield of the crops in the field, the people of Pingyue Valley can only carry water to water the crops in the field.

But seeing that God didn't mean to rain at all, this made everyone feel very anxious. But no matter how anxious the sky is, people can only be like anxious ants, circling around in their houses all day long.

Du Xiqing also looked at the increasingly red sun, and sighed in her heart. The river in the creek outside the house has also dried up a lot, and I don't know when God will give some rain down, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid something will really happen in the future.

The old man also seemed to see the signs, and every day he was anxious about the famous people in Pingyue Valley to discuss things, but from the increasingly dignified faces on those people's faces, Du Xiqing knew that the final result was not good.

After re-planting, the grassland finally regrew some tender grass, but who knew that it was slowly withered by such a drought. In order to ensure the survival of so many deer in the deer farm, the people in the deer farm had to go to the mountains to continue cutting the grass and come back to feed.

Because of the dry weather, the water that the deer drink is strictly controlled, and it is hot outside, so all the deer are temporarily hiding in the shade of the shed, and they are not playing around outside as before.

The slaughterhouse has not slaughtered venison for the past few days, mainly because there is no water, and the smell in the slaughterhouse cannot be dispersed, and even individuals wearing masks can't stand the smell. Without a source of venison, Du Xiqing's dried venison workshop was closed, and the female workers were temporarily put back to rest.

Duran's fast-food box lunch business also listened. The family is so relaxed that they just feel a little sad in their hearts. Du Xiqing was also very worried, but there was no good way, so she simply went to Borderless by herself.

I haven't come in for a few days, and as soon as I came in, Du Xiqing came out of the ferry and saw the big tiger lying outside the ferry, as if waiting for Du Xiqing's arrival.

"You're finally here!" The big tiger said with his mouth moving.

"Yes, big tiger, are you waiting for me to come in?"

"yes. I've been waiting for you for days. You don't even come in! The big tiger licked the fur off his paws and continued.

"What's the matter? Are you looking for me in such a hurry? ”

"There's something that's important to you. I watched the world change. I am afraid that there will be natural disasters in the near future, first a great drought, then a major flood, and I am afraid that many people will die. Xiqing, you are so prepared! The big tiger said to Du Xiqing with a warning.

Du Xiqing listened. Even though I had expected it before, I was still surprised in my heart.

"I see. Big Tiger! Thank you! Du Xiqing's face was ugly, but she still thanked Du Xiqing gratefully.

"Don't worry, you can go back and think of some solutions! But I'd better move you up the hill. There are many trees on the mountain, and the roots of the trees have a strong ability to absorb water. Also, you might as well find more water! By the way, there's one more thing I want to sue you. Borderless secrets can't be exposed, don't think about rescuing people into borderlessness, there are only two people who can come here, you and Li Jinhong! The big tiger reminded.

Du Xiqing nodded. Then he began to frown.

The drought and flood are really not good news. After cleaning up the wild ginseng that the big tiger pulled out again. Du Xiqing went out with a sad look.

After coming out, Du Xiqing went to discuss with her father, mother, eldest sister and Murong Yun.

"Dad, mother, I see that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the water level in the well seems to be getting lower and lower, maybe there will be a big drought soon. After a long drought, there will definitely be a big flood, so I think we should prepare for it early.

Father Du also nodded and said, "Xiqing is right, you can see that something is wrong at a glance this day." The water level in the well has dropped, and I don't know how many water grabbing things will happen. ”

"I've already started fighting over the water. Like our family, a well will naturally not come out of any period. However, there are many people in Pingyue Valley who share a well, and in the past few days, some people have quarreled because some people have used too much water, and then they started to fight directly. Duran sighed and told him what he had learned from the outside.

Du Mu also said worriedly when she heard this: "What Lan'er said is still light, I also experienced a major drought when I was a child, at that time, in order to grab water, it was a variety of life, everyone used all means, ugly, just that mouthful of water." ”

"Let's not think about this first, just because we are independent, it is no better than having any conflicts with others. But I think we should do some things beforehand. I had an idea, so I came out and saw what everyone thinks. Du Xiqing said.

After hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on Du Xiqing's body, as if they were waiting for Du Xiqing's next words.

"I'm thinking that to deal with this drought, we all have to be prepared. First of all, prepare for the worst, Brother Murong, you are more familiar with the surrounding mountains, see if you can find a hidden cave with relatively high terrain, a water source, and good drainage. If we can find it, let's not attract attention, but quietly carry some things up little by little. For example, grain, father-in-law, quilts, pots and pans, spices, and so on. Du Xiqing now said the worst plan.

Murong Yun thought for a moment and then said, "There is no problem with this, I now know that there are several hidden caves on the mountain behind, not for me to brag about, and no one can find them except me." In the past few days, I will go to the mountain to check and see if I can find a cave that meets the requirements of Xiqing. ”

After saying this question, Du Xiqing began to say another thing.

"For now, we need to hurry up and do something. The first is to find out if there is any deeper groundwater near our house, and if there is, we will quickly find someone to dig a well. The second thing we need to do is to dig some flood control channels around the house and lead to the village stream, so that we can reduce some of the damage even if there is a flood in the future. That's what I've thought of for a while! ”

Father Du nodded after hearing this and said, "I think Xiqing's method is good, let's do it according to this!" Without further ado, let's act today. We can also divide it into two sides, and Du Wen will let him be responsible for finding water sources and finding people to dig wells. The rest of us started digging flood ditches around the house! ”

said Du's father's final word, so everyone went their separate ways. But before that, Du Xiqing went to the old man first.

After first talking about the construction of digging drainage ditches and looking for water sources and exploring groundwater, the old man's frowning brow suddenly eased.

"I didn't expect you to get along with this girl in such a practical way, I will arrange this matter immediately!" The old man said with a smile.

I can't bear to hit the old man, but Du Xiqing can't bear to let the people of Pingyue Valley suffer a disaster in the end, Du Xiqing looked at the old man very solemnly and said: "Patriarch Grandpa, it's not that Xiqing is alarmist, I see that the weather will be dry for a long time if it is not good!" You have also experienced a lot of wind and frost, and you must also know that a long drought will be flooded, and I think the patriarch and grandfather have to do a lot of things to prepare for the worst! ”

When the old man heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and then asked, "Girl, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"There is no good way, but Grandpa Patriarch, I think we should be prepared, and when the situation becomes more and more serious, let's hide from the mountain! And the deer herd in the deer farm, if you can, you can also move to the mountains! Du Xiqing said what she thought.

"There are so many deer that it's too hard to send them all out! Now all you can do is dig the drainage ditch you said. But you don't have to worry, the land in the pasture is the highest place in the entire Pingyue Valley, and if I ask someone to dig the drainage ditch deeper, there shouldn't be any major problems. The old man thought for a moment, and then said.

"This Ran, patriarch, grandpa, you just know it in your heart! Xiqing is not staying longer! Du Xiqing saw that what she wanted to say had already been said, so she took her leave.

After the old man watched Du Xiqing leave, he once again summoned the famous people in Pingyue Valley. This time, the discussion was very short, almost the old man was ordering, and the people below were listening. After finishing speaking, everyone quickly dispersed, and then Pingyue Valley became busy for a while.

The old man specially formed a team to dig wells and looked for groundwater in Pingyue Valley everywhere. And all the people of Pingyue Valley were called to dig ditches and ditches, and even the small stream in Pingyue Valley was not spared, and the river was dug a lot wider.

With the discovery of groundwater in several places, and then digging out five wells, looking at the clear well water, the anxious hearts of the villagers of Pingyue Valley finally calmed down.

Even if the drought continues, with these five wells, at least everyone can save money for a long time. When the water came out, the villagers had the motivation to dig the canals, so all the canals were dug out in an orderly manner.

And Murong Yun also had the results of the investigation, and among the caves he knew, only the cave on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain best met Du Xiqing's requirements. There is not only an underground river inside, but also the terrain is high inside and outside, and even if there is a flood, it can be quickly discharged. However, the entrance to this cave is on the edge of a cliff, and I am afraid that you will have to use a ladder made of vines in the mountain to go down.

Du Xiqing thought for a while, and then said, "Just this cave!" Hidden in and ordinary people can't go, it's a good place to live. (To be continued) R580
