Chapter 62: The Tsunami
Ziyu tied the almost dried green silk into a bun on the top of her head, and wrapped it in a cloth towel and returned to the dress of a peasant boy.
Clean, neatly dressed, he has mingled with the helpers in the valley.
Everywhere he passed, people kept greeting Ziyu.
"Little boy has worked hard!"
"Hello little boy!"
……
"Good...... Good...... Good! Ziyu waved all the way in response.
A newly built waterwheel turns at the foot of the waterfall, and next to it is a water mill that is about to finish.
The ditch is covered with a layer of gravel, and the water flows clearly and cheerfully.
The army of reclamation advanced from the mouth of the valley and reclaimed the wasteland at a rate of 30 acres a day.
The ground carved out of the hillside is in the form of terraced fields, and the wide ridges are covered with gravel.
At the flat floor of the valley, patches of new fields are filled with water.
Twelve sets of courtyards, which were under construction at the same time, have been built with two-foot-high stone walls on both sides of the valley.
Each set of courtyards is less than 100 meters apart, and they all face the valley with their backs to the cliff, and the courtyard with purple jade is the highest.
In seven days, it is not easy to rely on manpower to make this progress.
"Woo ......"
The strong wind blew up grass clippings all over the ground, and Ziyu, who was accustomed to making strange noises when the wind blows, squinted at the sudden change in the sky.
The scorching sun was obscured by a pile of rapidly surging dark clouds, and the color of the sky and the earth changed abruptly.
"Little boy, little boy, please wait!" The chief steward Old Man Hu stood on the slope and waved to Ziyu.
"it, what's the matter!" The whirring wind enveloped the sound of Ziyu's voice away.
"Huh~ Little boy, the wind is blowing on the sea.
Before the sun sets, there will be a storm, so everyone has to pack up and take shelter.
In the event of a storm, the temperature in the mountains will cool down quickly, and it is easier to catch a cold in the rain. ”
Lao Hu, who was standing in front of him, shouted in a loud voice, and Ziyu finally understood.
"Steward Hu, you arrange it immediately, safety first!"
After Ziyu finished speaking, she ran directly to the beach, such a strong wind, the waves must be not small.
"Quick, move to the wooden house, move quickly!"
Bao Jiu, who carried a large cauldron in each hand, drank as he ran, as if there was something chasing behind.
A string of people ran into the valley with their backs, Ziyu didn't see Xiao Luo, and she didn't care about the people in front of her.
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, where are you!"
The waves more than ten meters high rushed towards the purple jade that had just come out of the stone arch bridge.
She took a deep breath and ran in the direction of the room, shouting incessantly.
"Xiaoluo, Cheng Yuanju, Chen Xiaoshan, where are you?
Hurry back! ”
"Young master, we are here, under the cliff." The wind, which enveloped the sea, blew a sound that was negligible to ignore.
"Xiao Luo, climb out, hurry up!"
Ziyu, who couldn't distinguish the direction for a while, could only bend down and look for it one by one.
The waves were high and high, and the people who were carrying things and running were in a mess.
Everyone's clothes were dripping, and the thin people were staggered by the wind.
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo!"
Ziyu anxiously searched for cliffs, but never found anyone anywhere.
"Young Master, Young Master Xiao Luo is here!"
Liu Ye bowed down and hugged a child, Shi Liu and Shi Da Niu each held the two of them, and slowly moved forward.
Seeing the people's purple jade, he rushed over to pick up Xiao Luo and hugged the little guy tightly in his arms.
"Willow Leaf, are you all right?"
found Xiao Luo's purple jade, and only then did he have the heart to care about the others.
"Young master, we're all fine, the tiger you hunted was also carried in by them.
Fortunately, Chef Bao reacted quickly, but a few small ones were frightened and hid under the cliff and didn't dare to come out.
Go back and change out of your wet clothes so you don't catch a cold. ”
Safely handing over the people to the young master, Liu Ye had time to hug Sheng Xiang'er, and none of the clothes of several people were dry.
Wave after wave, lapping on the stone arch bridge, the fish and shrimp carried out by the waves, and carried away by the rapidly retreating tide.
[This is the rhythm of a tsunami!] 】
Ziyu, who understood it, sped up and ran into the valley.
It's also unlucky, the valley has just just started to be built, and it's coming out like this.
…
The valley that had just been lively was now full of whistling wind, and the sharp sound swirled overhead.
The surrounding mountain walls stood still and stood at their posts, and the leaves and weeds wrapped in the wind formed a spiral nest.
Ziyu, who was dripping with water, ran back to the wooden house with Xiao Luo in her arms and closed the door tightly.
Xiao Luo, who was hiding in his arms, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled like chaff.
"Xiao Luo, don't be afraid, my brother is here!"
"Knock...... Kowtow...... Kowtow! ”
Ziyu saw that Xiao Luo was too frightened, and disappeared into the wooden house with someone in her arms.
"Peony, come out quickly!"
Ziyu, who had just entered the space, roared loudly, and her voice was in the entire space.
…
"Owner!"
The peony that was carried to her by the tiger girl, her sideburns were scattered, and her clothes were scattered, as if she was being covered by that.
The corners of Ziyu's mouth twitched fiercely, I didn't expect the tiger girl to be so violent, no wonder she could do the entire in-law's family.
"Peony, the little master is frightened, give him two injections first!"
Peony, whose hair was scattered, didn't have time to ask what was going on, and ordered the tiger girl who was running away with her.
"Take the little master back to the room, and change into dry clothes first."
A messy peony grinds her teeth, making her embarrassed in front of the two young masters, and she will clean up this reckless woman after a while.
"Young master, your clothes are wet, go and change.
The little master will be fine, bear bile powder has a miraculous effect on children's convulsions. ”
"Okay, I'll come over to see Xiao Luo in a moment!"
Ziyu saw a circle of water stains under her feet, and she didn't change her clothes when she knew this.
…
When Ziyu changed into dry clothes again and arrived at Ziluo's room, all the people in the space were guarding the door, and they looked into the room one by one.
"What are you looking at?"
The crowd was so shocked that they hurriedly retreated to both sides and bowed their heads to say hello, but the curiosity in their hearts could not be hidden.
[It turns out that the little master is so small, so cute! ] 】
A group of women have been overflowing with maternal love, and at their age in a normal family outside, they are either mothers or grandmothers.
suddenly knew that the little young master was a little doll, if it weren't for his identity, he would have rushed to get started and hugged and touched.
Ziyu, who entered the house, closed the door casually, blocking the eyes of a group of women like wolves.
Xiao Luo on the bed, lying in a small lump of silk quilts, has closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
The little hands that were exposed to the outside shook from time to time.
"How's it going?" Ziyu sat on the edge of the bed and gently held Xiao Luo's hand.
The little guy's hand gripped one of Ziyu's fingers tightly, and his eyelashes fluttered.
"The little master will wake up in a while, and if he doesn't have a fever in twelve hours, he'll be fine.
Master, have you encountered something? ”
Peony smelled the fishy smell of the wet clothes, and she tasted it salty.
Xiao Luo and his classmates went on a boat trip, and something happened and fell into the sea.
Peony has worked hard, I have to take Xiaoluo away. Ziyu leaned over and picked up Xiao Luo, and commanded outside the door.
"Vanilla, go find two autumn jackets and pack two plates of snacks."
"Yes, young master!" The vanilla who was named responded in a cheerful tone.
