【041】Haze shrouded
Just buried Old Man Han, the sky and the earth were dark, the wind was blowing, and everything was trembling. Some people exclaimed that it was going to rain heavily, and the children and grandchildren of Old Man Han knelt in front of the tomb for a long time!
Most of the mountain people started running to their homes, but they were still expecting the rain to fall soon.
Why did they wait until it rained heavily? This is a strange folk saying! It is said that just after the burial, the rain is to water the wisdom roots, and the descendants of the deceased will prosper.
Vanilla, Zhong Kui, and Zhiqing had left the burial place a long time ago because they had something on their minds, and discussed going to an uninhabited desert island in the house. From the story told by the old man alone, he couldn't find the flaws in the secret of the uninhabited desert island, and he had to be stationed.
A wooden boat twice as large as a canopy boat was built on the lake, and the craftsman who made it claimed to be the 40th generation of Luban's disciples. But looking at the design and architecture of this ship, it's pretty good.
Not to mention the bow of the ship, the stern, and the cabin alone, there is a small room the size. There was a wooden bed in the small room, and in front of the bed there was a large wooden cabinet, which was large enough to hold a thin person.
However, wooden cabinets are not used to hold people, but to hold food and some sundries. The small room in the cabin was specially prepared for Xu Qian and Vanilla, which Zhong Kui asked the craftsman to design. Women are more delicate than men, and their bodies can't resist the invasion of the cold night wind. Men can sleep on the bow and stern of the boat, and they can also protect both of them.
The rain was pouring down, and Thor rumbled from far and near, rolling on the roof. At the most amazing time, there was a snap, and everyone's heart trembled. At the same time, I felt that the ground seemed to shake slightly, and the drainage ditch under the eaves was like a small stream, rolling with muddy yellowish earth-colored rainwater. The water on the lake was even more turbid due to the sudden rainstorm, and after a few hours, the water level of the lake rose sharply by several millimeters.
The mountain people near Dead Water Bay and the mountain people in Dead Water Bay are nervous, afraid that the rising tide will flood the seedlings they have worked so hard to plant. People waited by the lake with fear, and Li Laoqi led a team of young adults to check the trend of water level growth at any time.
Zhong Kui and the others also didn't dare to rest all night, and they were ready to help the mountain people evacuate the lake at any time. After a long night's noise, the tide seemed to be stabilizing, and the exhausted mountain people went home to rest.
Li Laoqi is the hardest, and Zhiqing has been waiting for him to come back so that they can inquire about the situation. Listening to the sound of the rain, everyone's heart is heavy, really, people are not as good as the sky. was scheduled to leave for an uninhabited desert island tomorrow, but it was stranded because of this sudden rainstorm.
The drenched Li Laoqi came home in the middle of the night, and his wife settled the child and hurriedly brought him clean clothes to change into.
Zhiqing was in the east wing of Li Laoqi's house, and the lights in the east wing flickered in the rain and fog. Mr. Li knew that they hadn't rested yet, so they must be waiting for him to come over and talk about something.
When Li Laoqi came over, his hair was still wet, and he wiped it indiscriminately.
"How's it going out there?" Zhiqing asked.
"Stable for the time being." Li Laoqi noticed that the two little girls hadn't slept yet, so he smiled and said, "If you don't go to sleep yet, you will become ugly girls tomorrow." ”
Xu Qian and Vanilla smiled, the former didn't smile, but laughed so quietly and then fell silent.
Vanilla, who has always been sharp-toothed, seized the opportunity to speak, and hurriedly said: "Ugly girls are the best, then no one will want them, and I can be by my brother's side for the rest of my life." ”
A joke, angry Wen Gen on the side. "You're so willing to be an old girl?" The fair skin turned crimson with excitement.
"Poof!" Vanilla chuckled.
"She gave you a joke, don't be petty." Zhong Kui teased.
The thunderbolt flashed, reflecting the rain curtain under the eaves, which was the prelude to the thunderstorm. Vanilla and Xu Qian subconsciously covered their ears and closed their eyes slightly......
Looking at the actions of these two girls, several men laughed and said, "Yes! You two go to sleep! If you are afraid, you will cover your head with a futon. ”
Vanilla glared at Zhong Kui, who was speaking, and grabbed Xu Qian and walked away.
The two girls walked away, and the men continued to smoke, continuing the topic just now. Xiao Ming stayed aside, couldn't interject into the conversation, stayed for a while and was not interesting, and there was a while, and the fishing (dozing) head kept going up and down.
Zhiqing cigarette rolled in his mouth, twitching and hissing sound. The smoke stimulated his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Li Laoqi through the smoke and asked, "What season was the high tide time here in the past?" ”
"In this season, when there are many occurrences, the former village chief simply arranged for a few people to guard the lake, and ignored it. Because of this, every season, there are missing people, and even the corpses are not found. ”
"Huh!" Li Laoqi's words reminded Zhong Kui, and he remembered that when he rescued Chen Zhiqing, he sensed that there seemed to be a few people at the bottom of the lake. However, it was not that he deliberately did not say this, according to his feelings, those people were also powerless, and they had been dead for several years, and the most recent one was a year. It is the special water quality at the bottom of the lake that keeps their corpses intact.
At the same time, he also felt that there were no other creatures swimming at the bottom of the lake, so the bodies of those who died at the bottom of the lake would be preserved intact. But if you want to salvage them, you have to figure out the situation of the uninhabited desert island and deal with it.
Mr. Li said that the rainstorm came violently and was good for crops on the slopes that had been dry for half a month. But those paddy fields suffered, and the heavy rainfall in the sky filled the paddy fields. The seedlings that had just been planted were washed by the rain and floated by the current, and they instantly floated up and washed out of the ridges with the current. The fields turned white, and there was not a trace of green in sight......
Zhiqing and Li Laoqi discussed that such a large amount of precipitation should not be taken lightly. The three of them have to take turns to take care of the water level at all times to prevent it from happening.
As much as possible, we should control the disasters that are going to occur before they happen.
The first to go to rest were Zhong Kui and Li Laoqi.
Zhiqing carried a lantern, wore a cloak and went out in half an hour to inspect the situation by the lake.
Zhong Kui tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, the sound of rain, wind, and thunder was piercing. The disturbance makes the mind irritable, and there is no sleepiness. I don't know that after a long time, after his consciousness was confused, a woman appeared in his feelings.
This woman was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it. The woman smiled and told him, "It's okay, don't worry, there are feathers and arrows to help you." ”
Zhong Kui was stunned: "What chicken feathers and arrow feathers?" ”
The woman smiled again, and said very kindly: "This is a heavenly opportunity, it is not negotiable, you can do it yourself!" ”
