Chapter 222: The Fat Duck Drifted Away
Wang Lu smiled bitterly, what do you mean, it is clear, I think that the river water has soared and also affected the tributary where the duck house is located, the wind and rain have actually collapsed the duck house, although the size of this straw roof is huge, but it is extremely light, washed by the river, and goes straight down with the stream.
Chen Wei suddenly grabbed Wang Lu's arm: "Look, what's moving on the top of that thing." ”
Wang Lu also saw that there were three or four ducks lying on the roof!
These nerd-headed ducks actually squatted on the roof in a big way, combing their feathers with their flat beaks, and didn't pay attention to the wind and rain that tore the sky and the earth.
Wang Lu is petrified, but if you think about it, no matter how heavy the wind and rain are, they can't drown these girls.
Chen Wei also came to her senses, and her hand holding Wang Lu's arm tightened: "That's really our duck house!" It's over, our ducks. ”
Wang Lu was also heartbroken, and comforted Chen Wei and said: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong, didn't we expect this to happen a long time ago." Don't worry, the ducks can't drown, and when the typhoon passes, our family goes out to look for them, and we can always find the ducks that are outstanding. ”
Chen Wei cried with a sad face: "There are more than 100 ducks, I don't know how many can be recovered?" ”
Wang Lu persuaded: "Look at you, some time ago, I was annoyed that there were too many duck eggs to eat, and I had to work hard to make salted eggs and preserved eggs, and now I am shouting that there are too few ducks." ”
Chen Wei muttered: "What kind of stupid words are you talking about, although there are a lot of ducks, but how can we eat them at home, you can count the ducks eaten by the whole family on both hands." Who doesn't take these ducks as a treasure. Every time Wang Bi'an went with me to touch the eggs, he drilled around in the stinking duck house, touched a hand of to find out all the eggs, and said that he would also raise ducklings in the future. I knew that the road was washed away by a typhoon and a rain. We might as well kill a few more and eat miles. It's also a piece of meat when it falls into the stomach. ”
Wang Lu actually had a lot of pain, and the only fresh meat at home now was duck. The number of chickens and rabbits is still too small, and the sheep are needless to say, in order to save Wang Lu, the newborn lamb was killed, Chen Wei still has blood in her heart when she talks about it, not to mention Wang Bi'an, who takes the sheep to eat grass every day. This time after the disaster, I don't know how many ducks I can recover. Anyway, in the short term, everyone can only eat vegetables again.
As he spoke, the roof of the duck house with the ducks above had disappeared into the dark and dreary river, rushing downstream, perhaps over its mountain weir and straight into the Fenghua River, and perhaps even drifting all the way into the sea - the ducks on the roof were not like the geese in "Traveling on a Goose", coming on a wonderful trip around the world?
Wang Lu suddenly looked up at the sky: "The rain seems to be light." ”
Chen Wei reached out of the window to wipe it, and sure enough, the rain was much lighter. Even the wind has weakened a lot, "Did the typhoon make landfall?" ”
Wang Lu yawned loudly: "Almost, I see that the day is almost dawn, and I remember that typhoons used to land at night." It's like this every year, and it's really evil. ”
Chen Wei took out a raincoat and handed it to Wang Lu: "Go home." ”
Wang Lu hesitated: "Wait, wait until dawn." ”
In fact, there is no need to wait until dawn, when there is a little light, Wang Lu and Chen Wei looked at the clouds in the sky that were gradually dispersing, and knew that the typhoon had passed this time.
The two husbands and wives supported each other to return to the Yashan Dragon King Temple. He fell asleep before he could pull the blanket and cover it.
Wang Lu didn't wake up until nearly noon, rubbed his eyes and got up to see that there was no one in the Dragon King Temple, Chen Wei, Xie Ling and Wang Bian were not there.
Wang Lu turned to the back mountain and looked, there was no one in the chicken coop and vegetable field, and no one answered after shouting a few times at the top of his voice.
Wang Lu turned back to the kitchen and opened the pot to take a look. It was pickled rice cake soup, I took a big bowl, snorted and ate it, and the sour pickle soup entered my stomach, and my spirit was lifted.
Wang Lu was not in a hurry to go down the mountain to find someone, he basically knew where the three of them went, Xie Ling must have gone to fiddle with her new toy digging boat, Chen Wei and Wang Bian must have gone to find ducks.
Wang Lu also has a lot of things to do on the mountain, he first came to the main hall, carefully checked the solar panel brought into the hall on a rainy night last night, a solar panel was not known whether it was a stone or a broken tile damaged the glass surface, but the damage was not serious, but there were some cracks on the glass surface, and the solar crystal panel under the bottom was not broken. Luck is not bad, but unfortunately, this is the danger of putting the solar panels on flat ground, if it is on the roof, it is difficult to be hit by stones and other debris. …,
It's just that such a small damage can make the lights in the bedroom go out, Wang Lu checked the wiring again and found that last night's power outage was an accident, but the wires outside the bedroom were scratched.
Wang Lu looked up at the sky, the rain has been clear, the sun is direct, and when everyone comes back, the solar power system will be restored, it has been raining a few days ago, and the electricity at home is all supported by the battery, and only dare to turn on the light, and the battery should be charged.
Wang Lu climbed up to the roof of the bedroom and kitchen again, and found the leak where the tiles had been blown away by the wind, which was not a big problem, and could be repaired by getting a few tiles from the bottom of the mountain.
Wang Lu did not delay, and went down the mountain with a woodcutter.
Not to mention that Wang Lu was busy renovating the house, Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an were also busy with mud.
Wang Bi'an bent his waist in a water channel, stepping on the mud without feet and necks and slowly moving forward, and his mouth was still calling "quack, quack".
"Quack." A few meters before Wang Bian, a duck responded a few times, and it twisted its neck when it was looking for food with its flat beak in the muddy water, and when it saw someone approaching, it "quacked" a few times and twisted its ass to escape.
Wang Bi'an pounced forward to catch the duck, but pounced, only splashed a large splash, mud spots splashed on his face, the duck flapped its wings "quack" screamed and ran along the canal, Wang Bi'an where is willing to stop, pull his legs and chase, fortunately the duck was chased in a hurry, can only run along the canal, if you run on the canal, into the field will be more difficult to chase.
Wang Bi'an took off his undershirt to cover the duck.
When Wang Bi'an returned to the old site of the duck house with the duck in his sweatshirt shirtless and his shirt, he saw Chen Wei putting a duck on the boat in one hand, and hurriedly ran up to report the merit and said, "Mom, I found another one." ”
Chen Wei took the duck in Wang Bi'an's hand, put it in the boat, and shook off the sweatshirt to take a look. It's mud and water. I couldn't wear it, but fortunately, the sun was in the sky and it wasn't cold, so I went with Wang Bi'an.
Wang Bi'an counted the ducks crowded around in the boat: "21, ha, we actually found 21 ducks." ”
21, not even one-fifth of the original, but this is all the harvest that Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an have worked hard for a morning.
Get up together in the morning. Chen Wei took Wang Bi'an to row a boat to the duck house, although the water level of the river is still very high and the current is relatively fast, but it is far less turbulent than last night, and the two of them have a safe journey.
But the duck house is gone, and the rising river has submerged the original site of the duck house, leaving not a single straw or fence stick.
In fact, because of the low terrain, this piece of farmland has been flooded by the river, and a large area of rice and vegetable fields has been submerged in water. Chen Wei wiped the depth of the water, and it actually reached the calf.
If the water is not drained as soon as possible, the farmland will be lost.
But Chen Wei can't take care of these now, so she can only wait for the river to recede. I have more important things to do today - to find the ducks that have been left behind.
I hope that those stupid ducks, when the flood hits, will still know how to escape to the surrounding fields.
It turns out that the dumb ducks are not stupid, and Chen Wei and Wang Bian have found the lost ducks in the surrounding area one after another. Some ducks seem to have an impression of Chen Wei, the housewife who will come to feed from time to time, and actually take the initiative to twist and twist closer, but there are also some ducks who are bent on pursuing freedom, such as the guy Wang Bi'an met, who felt that the vast world outside was better than the duck house, and refused to go home, so they chased and fled. The fields were boiling.
The surrounding fields have been searched, and more ducks are estimated to have been washed downstream by the water, Chen Wei is not greedy, 21 ducks are not less, if you only lay eggs, you can't finish eating it, you can't eat duck meat for the time being, and you can only make tooth sacrifices when the ducklings hatch next year.
It's just that at that time, chickens and rabbits should also be multiplied in large numbers, and the family will have more meat to eat.
Chen Wei and Wang Bian rowed the boat and sent the ducks to Mingfeng Villa, after this typhoon, Chen Wei will no longer build a duck house by the river, the big deal is that she and Wang Bian work hard, and go down the mountain every day to raise ducks.
On the way to Mingfeng Villa, Chen Wei found that the flooded farmland by the Yinjiang River was very serious, and on the road from the shore to Mingfeng Villa, the water on the machine farming road was more than 10 centimeters deep, and the water in the fields was even deeper, and only one head was exposed in some rice fields.
Fortunately, the terrain of Mingfeng Villa is higher, and the building is stronger than the Dragon King Temple, so there was no loss at all in this typhoon, not even a piece of glass was broken. The ducks were satisfied with their new home, and went into the woodland behind the lodge in search of food. …,
Chen Wei calculated, in the future, there will be more chickens and rabbits on Yashan, and you can build a breeding base in Mingfeng Villa, where the area is open, and it is also convenient to find feed in the large farmland next to it, which is very suitable for chickens, ducks, rabbits, and even cattle and sheep that may be owned in the future.
Xie Ling didn't know that her sub-base would be transformed into a stinky farm by Chen Wei, otherwise she would have to jump.
Xie Ling got up later than Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an, and after breakfast, she couldn't stay in the mountains, so she ran to the bank of the Qingjiang River to practice manipulating the digging arm. But after all, I'm worried that the diesel fuel tank is not enough, so I just practice a little, anyway, smashing zombies with a digging arm is much easier than digging stones and mud.
When Xie Ling returned to the Dragon King Temple shouting "Sister, is the lunch cooked" all the way, she was bumping into Wang Lu and Chen Wei chattering about something, Xie Ling's ears were tippy, and she heard Wang Lu muttering the word "unlucky".
"Brother, what's going on again?" Xie Ling asked curiously.
Wang Lu said tiredly: "Our two warehouses in Yinjiang Town have been flooded, and the plastic sheets covering the roof have either been broken by tiles or blown away, and the rainwater has poured into the house. ”
Xie Ling was taken aback: "The things in that room ......" Before the words came out, he knew the result - everything was clear when he looked at Wang Lu's face.
Wang Lu sighed and said: "Some electrical appliances and clothes are wet - but this is nothing, electrical appliances are not used in the first place, and the clothes can still be used after washing and drying, but the rice and rice noodles are very wet, and I have to find a place to dry them well, and I don't know how much Lu Dao can save back." ”
Xie Ling's heart sank, the commonly used grain on Yashan is actually not much, most of the grain is placed in the warehouse of the house under the mountain, and it needs to be used, so he carries two or three bags up, because he has to transport all the grain up the mountain for storage, and there is not enough warehouse on the second mountain. Unexpectedly, this typhoon made everyone eat a big neck.
But Xie Ling was quickly relieved and said with a smile: "What's there to worry about, even if the grain in the two warehouses is finished, we have an excavation boat, and we will soon be able to clean up the zombies in Guang Town, and we will be able to find more food at that time." ”
Wang Lu still frowned, and Chen Wei next to him coughed: "That, Xie Ling, maybe we can't use the digging boat to kill zombies." ”
Xie Ling was stunned, looked at Chen Wei, and then looked at Wang Lu: "What are you talking about?" ”
Wang Lu said like a toothache: "Your sister went to the duck house in the morning to look for ducks, and on the way back, she saw that many farmlands were flooded because of the rising river and heavy rain. ”
"So what?" Xie Ling was puzzled: "With such a big typhoon, it's normal to flood the fields a little bit." ”
Wang Lu sighed: "If you don't drain the water from the field quickly, the rice will rot if you are submerged in the water, and the harvest will be lost." We use digging boats to kill zombies so that we can have agricultural machinery to harvest, and if the rice in the field is rotten, we will harvest a fart. Wang Lu couldn't help but curse foully, this thief couldn't see him better, and kept looking for him.
Xie Ling was also dumbfounded, and muttered after a while: "Can't we wait for the water to recede by itself?" ”
Wang Lu shook his head: "The water in some sections may be able to recede on its own, but you have also seen the terrain on both sides of the Yinjiang River, there are dikes blocking it, and when the river rises, the water that floods the dikes is basically impossible to retreat on its own." Unless, we dig the levee with an excavator. ”
Xie Ling stomped his feet and said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go and dig the embankment, drain the water a day earlier, and let the rice fields bask in the sun earlier, according to Uncle Chen's words, there are still a few days before the summer harvest, as long as the sun is sufficient, the harvest may not be lost." ”
Wang Ludao: "It's still urgent, none of us have ever worked in agriculture, and we don't know where it is better to dig a dam from Ludao, if it is wrong, it will aggravate the flood." I'll go to Uncle Chen later and ask him to see where to start. ”
Xie Ling was an anxious person, and said immediately: "I'll go with you." ”
Wang Lu hesitated for a moment: "Xie Ling, if we use an excavator to dig a dam to drain the water, there may not be enough oil to kill the zombies, and the amount of drainage is not a small job." ”
Xie Ling also understood that he was in such a dilemma for what Wang Lu was, and he tried so hard to use the excavator to kill the Quartet, but the two risked their lives to get the excavator, but they found that God played a big joke on them again - if they kill zombies, the rice harvest will be lost, and if they drain the water to save the rice fields, they will take the risk of killing zombies without diesel.
