Chapter 50: Ready
The rain fell for two days and three nights, and it only cleared up on the third morning, Xu Si dragged his tired body out of the door, breathed in the rain as a cool air, and there were inlets everywhere on the ground, and all the bones and brains of the toads who didn't know where to hide on weekdays crawled out, croaking and croaking annoyingly.
The leaves on the trees seemed to have grown a lot overnight, and they became verdant and dripping, and even the original yellow in the distance seemed to be full of life, and the dark green was so obvious that even the birds came to join in the fun, chirping non-stop.
Fortunately, the rain stopped, if it didn't stop Xu Si's family was going to be interrupted, the staple food of three meals a day was gone since a day ago, Xu Si himself is not the kind of person who is used to living a careful life, he has always eaten the last meal regardless of the next meal, and it is not easy for a big living person to last for two days.
During the rainy days, Xu Si and Niuli were not idle in the house at all, but they were tired of each other, but they were even more estranged from each other and became intimate.
This river is going to be flooded! Xu Si remembered the situation when there was a big flood in previous years, a large group of bare-bottomed children shouted and shouted, galloping everywhere to catch stranded fish and shrimp, and the adults were also guarding the dam nervously to check the situation, lest the flood like a wild horse stock wash away the fertile fields on both sides.
As for this year, I'm afraid adults and children are catching fish, right? The fields on both sides have long been full of loess, and there is no harvest. Thinking of this, Xu Si looked back at the girl who was still lying on the kang and sleeping on the kang in the house, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He stepped forward and gently closed the door, turned around and walked towards the east of the pole.
From a distance, I saw a group of people standing on the embankment, but I didn't hear the roar of the river, and a few children also stayed on the embankment next to the adults: this is not normal, the children in the impression should be running and shouting on the shore full of shallow water.
Xu Si walked briskly onto the embankment, looking around, where is the momentum of the flood? I saw that the originally dark and narrow river channel at the bottom of the river was more than twice as wide, and the water wading in it had become a lot clearer.
Xu Si pulled the skin with the people on the river embankment for a while, and he didn't worry about the girl who was snoring in the house, so he casually found one and walked back, and when he passed the big tree at the entrance of the village, he didn't hear someone ask: "Do you know why the river doesn't send water?" "God knows!" Xu Si replied casually: "Maybe this rain is not heavy enough!" Suddenly he came to his senses and turned his head to go: he saw Du Liu, wearing an earthy gray coat and a straw hat, standing in the shadows under the tree pole and smiling at him.
"When did you come?" Xu Si walked over.
"Just arrived! Seeing you wandering around the embankment, there are too many people to dare to go over, so I am waiting for you here. Du Liu pressed the straw hat down again, glanced around vigilantly, and said carefully: "The Japanese blocked a dam along the river!" Stop all the water so that their cars can pass through, I guess it's tomorrow, get ready! ”
"Tomorrow?" Xu Si suddenly felt his heart tighten, and couldn't help blurting out: "I'm not ready yet!" ”
"What!" Du Liu's face turned ugly, "How many days have it been?" You're not ready? How did you plan it? Tell me about it! ”
Xu Si had no choice but to tell him about the previous plan with Yu Hu, Du Liu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't stop nodding, and finally he reached out and patted Xu Si's shoulder vigorously, and said happily: "Okay!" According to your plan, there is a chance that it will be successful! As he spoke, he poked his head closer to Xu Si's ear and said, "Wait for tomorrow!" You and I are also human beings! Do a good job, I'll send you a fried fried rice when it gets dark! After speaking, he reached out and patted Xu Si's shoulder, and left with a smile.
Xu Si looked at Du Liu, who was far away, and suddenly felt extremely bored, and he pondered about this matter while walking towards the village! Everything was pretty much ready, but no one was available! Where do you want to find a child who is not afraid of the Japanese? Who can afford to take risks with their own children?
When I was worried about breaking my bowels, I suddenly heard a familiar voice call out, "Fourth uncle!" He looked back in surprise, but who was Tian Wa'er?!
I saw Tian Luohan with a wry smile on his face pushing the baby and standing behind him, but the baby was still sitting in the car, but he was tired.
"You guys, why did you come back?" Xu Si was surprised and delighted,
"The baby is coming back!" Tian Luohan smiled bitterly and said: "Wa'er Jue is so sorry for you, Fourth Master, he said that now is the time to employ people, and it is not too late to help you pass this hurdle and then leave!" As he spoke, he pushed the cart and carried the baby to the direction of the thatched hut where he used to live in the west of the village.
Xu Si suddenly felt that his mood was very good, this god finally helped him once when he was in the most difficult time, with Tian Luoyi father and son, all the problems became no problem, Tian Luohan's knife dance splashed water! If the baby looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old hairy child from the outside, providence, providence! It is destined that this operation will go smoothly!
Xu Sixing rushed back to the house, woke up the sleeping girl who was still sleeping on the kang, and told her to go back first later, she had something to do to go out. Then he went to Xu Tuzi and gave him a son, and told him to go to Beilianzhuang to buy gunpowder for firecrackers, that Beilianzhuang has been selling firecrackers since the elders, and every household rolls cannons, and everyone will match gunpowder, and the gunpowder they prepare is powerful and rarely smokes, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to make earth bombs.
I also found Wang Wu and stammered to smash the only iron pot into pieces in his own house, ready to mix it with the gunpowder he bought to increase the destructive power, and waited until noon, Xu Tuzi finally came back with half a pocket of gunpowder, and Niuzi also sent a lunch at noon, and after a few people ate it, they mixed the gunpowder with the pot iron, and wrapped it tightly with sackcloth outside, this bomb must be wrapped tightly, the tighter it is, the stronger its explosive power is! This is what Tu Zi privately asked the gun master.
Pierce an eye with an awl on the sackcloth, stuff a fuse, and when you twist it with fire, it will explode when the fuse is burned out! these donkeys! When Xu Si was packing the bomb, he couldn't help but think of Ning Gou'er who was disemboweled, Ning Qi who was beaten into a sieve by the machine, and the innocent people who died tragically in the thross of the thirty.
Everything was ready, Xu Si took everyone to find the Wang Guan Lord, Wang Guan Zhu used divination and hexagram to help them guide the maze, his well-founded words completely shocked everyone present, including Xu Si himself, if he hadn't been angry with him in advance, Xu Si almost doubted that all of this was taken for granted. These monks, Taoist priests, nuns, and god sticks, none of them are good! All liars!
In the end, Wang Guan actually gave each of them a talisman, which is said to be able to turn evil into good fortune, auspicious in case of disaster, and even invulnerable! Seeing that everyone was carefully put close to their bodies, Xu Si suddenly felt very sad, feeling that he had deceived everyone, and there was a feeling that he wanted to laugh loudly, and the people who felt it were always deceiving themselves.
