Lin Youcai checked if there was any omission, and made sure that the people and goods were here, and he was not in a hurry to leave, he had to wait for Wang Lin's family next door.

As soon as they came back from the ancestral hall, the two discussed that they should take care of each other, and Wang Lin's family hadn't cleaned up yet, so they had to wait.

Lin Youcai came to the gate, looked at the dark and oppressive sky in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas~, I'm afraid those mulberry seedlings are going to end." ”

Liu was also distressed, looked sideways at Lin Meiyi, and comforted: "When this catastrophe is over, my father and mother will plant them for you again." ”

"Mother, I'm fine." Lin Meiyi smiled and shook her head, signaling her mother not to worry.

However, thinking that the crops that her father and mother had worked so hard to plant were about to be swallowed up by the flood, she was still a little reluctant in her heart.

Is there any way to keep these crops?

Even a part of it would be fine.

Maybe you can try the two earth-based talismans in your hand.

The soil system is subsided, and the river embankment cannot be reinforced, but it can be used to dredge the river, and if the river channel at the edge of the field is diverted away from the field, is it possible to save a lot of crops?

As soon as the idea popped up, it was a little out of control, and the more Lin Meiyi thought about it, the more feasible she felt, but there was a reality in front of her, how should she explain the diversion of the river?

There are still thirty or forty middle-aged men in the village, and if the fields by the river are flooded, 80 percent of the villagers in the backing mountain village will be damaged.

At that time, she can silently push behind her back to make this thing seem less incredible.

Thinking of this, Lin Meiyi hurriedly found her father, "Dad, the flood hasn't come so fast yet, should we try to save the crops by the river?" ”

When Lin Youcai heard this, his brows furrowed, but he didn't hit his daughter at the first time, but wanted to hear why she had such an idea.

Lin Meiyi explained: "Dad, the river can be diverted, and it is impossible to change all the rivers in the village in a short time, but the river in the field, if the whole village labor is used to dig the canal, I think it can be tried." ”

"What about the others?" Lin Youcai asked, but in fact, he was a little moved by Lin Meiyi's proposal.

"First send some men to send the elderly, women and children up the mountain, some people stay to dredge, wait for people to send, and then these people come down the mountain to meet, there should be more than forty people in our village, if everyone is united enough, we will definitely succeed!" Lin Meiyi said confidently.

When Lin Youcai heard this, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was possible to succeed, but now it's bad that no one knows when the flood will come, and if the flood comes early, none of these forty or so people will be able to escape.

"No, we can't predict when the flood will come, it's still too dangerous, human lives are at stake, just forget about food." Lin Youcai thought about it, shook his head, and patted his daughter's shoulder to show comfort.

It just so happened that Wang Lin's family next door was ready, and Lin Youcai motioned to Lin Meiyi to stop talking, "Dad knows that you feel sorry for the family's crops, but as long as our family is fine, you know?" ”

Lin Meiyi was helpless, but since her father could let it go herself, she could only accept it.

nodded, although there was some regret, but did not mention it again.

There are nine people in the family, plus Xiao Niangzi Pan Xian and Hu Zi three, a total of twelve people, Lin Meiyi only made nine raincoats, the Lin family has one, and Xiao Niangzi can only wear clothes and hats.

At this time, the advantages of the raincoat made by Lin Meiyi are reflected.

Not to mention the rain, wind and warmth, it is also light and easy to move.

Huzi, Goudan and Zhang's three were crowded in an ox cart full of goods, Ah Da drove the car, Lin Youcai led the way in front to take care of Liu and Erya casually, Lin Meiyi took care of Xiao Niangzi's mother and daughter, and Xiao Hei mat was behind.

The Lin family went first, and the Wang Lin family followed closely behind.

They have ox carts, the old man and the children sit on the ox cart, Wang Lin takes the lead, Wang Lin's eldest son leads the cart, and the younger son looks at the female dependents of the family, which is much easier than the family without the ox cart.

At Mrs. Wang's house next door to the Lin family, Wang Quan deliberately drove an oxcart to pull the old lady and father, as for the remaining two brothers, forget it, if he dares to pull, Wang Yun will dare to throw her two uncles into the river to feed the fish.

From the end of the ancestral hall to the gathering of the villagers, it took a total of two hours, and it was already very late, and it was also the time when it was raining heavily.

Fortunately, the wind is not strong, otherwise all the lanterns on the road would have been extinguished.

From a distance, the lights are connected and spread from the entrance of the village to the foot of the mountain, and the scene is spectacular.

There are people who want to take away the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, and Mrs. Xiao is reluctant to give up the livestock at home, but she doesn't want to cause trouble to the Lin family anymore, so she never gnawed from beginning to end.

All the people gathered, the noise did not stop, the rain was pouring down, and all the people had to rely on roaring, otherwise they would not be able to hear at all.

The village chief's family has a donkey cart and an ox cart, and the goods are piled up.

At the critical moment, even if the village chief knew that Lin Youcai was being excluded in the village, he still had to use him.

Not only Lin Youcai, but also several outstanding laborers in the village, such as Wang Lin and Wang Quan's brothers, were called over by the village chief and asked them to organize and arrange for the big guys to evacuate to the mountains.

It had already been explained how to evacuate, and they only needed to lead the way.

This evacuation location was quietly told to Lin Youcai by Lin Meiyi, and then Lin Youcai said it. The big guy knew that he often hunted in the mountains, but he was convinced and had no objections.

"Okay, everyone is here, talented, your family will take the lead!" The village chief shouted loudly as he stood on the wheels of the car in his robe.

Lin Youcai answered, nodded to Ah Da, and was about to set off, when suddenly, a rapid gong sounded, interrupting Lin Youcai and the others who were about to set off.

"What's going on? Who's banging the gong! Uncle Wang An shouted dissatisfiedly. He thought it was the children of the village chief's family who were fooling around.

However, two figures appeared on the official road at the entrance of the village, riding horses, braving the rain, and running quickly while beating the gong.

The village chief fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually two officials!

"Don't move yet! An official is coming! The village chief hurriedly ordered, for fear that Lin Youcai and the others would launch without knowing the news.

Lin Youcai didn't move, explained to Ah Da, got up and went to the back with Wang Lin to investigate the situation.

Lin Meiyi saw it and followed.

As he spoke, two officials rode high-headed horses at a gallop, ignoring the splashing muddy water and the torrential rain overhead, came to the crowd and shouted to ask who the village chief was.

Wang Sheng, the village head, rushed over with the support of his son, and the two officials confirmed his identity, but they didn't have time to ask what the situation was in the backing village, so they hurriedly said:

For the safety of the people in the city, it was decided to dig a ditch to discharge the flood tomorrow, when the water poured down, casualties in the villages, please evacuate immediately to the mountain! If in doubt, let's talk about the rainstorm later! Your life is at stake, so act fast! ”
