"Creek, that's a mud frog in front of you, right?" Qin Jiang's expression was very excited.

"I'm not mistaken! So big. ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Jiang slowly walked towards the big guy shining by the flashlight, and when he got closer, he shot quickly and ruthlessly, and pinched it directly.

"It's really a mud frog, it's too big, six or seven taels are always there, we're so lucky, this kind of giant has been met by us."

Qin Xi also leaned over, and saw the big mud frog in Qin Jiang's hand, his eyes were full of surprise, the frogs in their buckets, the largest was only more than four taels, and the smallest should be two taels, this suddenly came a big Mac, I really felt happy, just like walking on the road, inadvertently, I saw a dollar lying on the road.

In this case, the sense of accomplishment is even stronger.

At this time, the frogs are called a delicious, they are all pure wild, there are no messy ingredients in them, and there are still a lot of them, take a flashlight to go out and walk around at night, casually, you can catch a few back.

When I was lucky, I could even catch a giant frog and a yellow eel, but I didn't see it today, the bag was full of frogs, and there must be more than two catties, enough for them to eat.

"Pack it in and put it away, lest it run away."

Hearing this, Qin Jiang hurriedly put the mud frog into the open cloth bag in Qin Xi's hand.

It's better to be careful now, and when you go back, you can take this big treasure to find Fang It's just rare, this is his trophy, or a rare trophy.

In addition to Fangzheng, I also have to let He Yuan take a good look, this is a man's merit medal, the kind that can be shown to others in the next few decades.

Time flies, half a month has passed, and the rice in the village has been headed.

The grain in their village should be the first to bear fruit, even if there is not enough time to plant the second crop of rice, but the field cannot be wasted! Planting some cabbage, radish, rape, barley and the like can also be used for winter, and there can be a harvest anyway, as long as it does not delay the spring plowing of the next year.

The section of the embankment that collapsed in the reservoir before has not been repaired, and all villages are busy with production, where can they spare time!

Over time, this matter was directly forgotten, the people above forgot, and the people below, even if they talked about it from time to time, it didn't make any difference, and the dam still collapsed.

The people at the bottom will not bother to cultivate, it is difficult to survive, and this kind of thankless work is naturally done by no one.

At the same time, these days, the scorching sun and clear sky shine every day, and there is no sign of rain at all, so everyone naturally relaxes, and the embankment is not there, because if it does not rain heavily, there will be no major incidents.

Qin Xi has been to see the collapsed embankment, and what is very different from the previous big flood is that the water flowing out of the reservoir is much smaller now, and over time, the one that is now washed under the collapsed embankment is called a smooth, trickling stream, along the small gap, into the stream.

The villagers didn't care about it at all, what kind of climate could be achieved by that small water flow, but they didn't know that over time, the height of the water in the reservoir dropped a lot.

These days, it is the critical time of rice filling, but the farmland is almost dry, the reservoir does not release water is not good, otherwise, the rice will all become empty and shriveled rice husks, there is either no rice, or only half a grain of rice, if this is the case, the loss will be great, after all, to this point, it is not possible to fall short.

Besides, the fields downstream are almost unable to hold on, and they are almost dry.

When it came to the day of the water release, the villagers were always paying attention to their work, focusing on two things, for fear that they would miss something.

As the rope retracted, the sluice gates of the reservoir were pulled up, and the surging water passed through the cement pipes, through the embankment, to the pool, and then down the constructed canal, towards the farmland on either side.

"Coming water, coming water."

"It turns out that the reservoir can really release water! I thought it was a lie! ”

"If the reservoir can release water, then we won't have to worry about the lack of water for growing rice in the future?"

You know, they don't have big rivers here, and floods basically can't reach them here, but droughts often occur, with a small drought every three years and a major drought every five years, and the villagers have suffered a lot.

In the most serious five or nine years, the village even had to form a team to walk for more than three hours on the mountain road and go to the cave to fetch water. Those ferocious things also drank water in that cave, and if they really thought that they could touch the wild boar and leopard alone, they could go to the mountains to fetch water by themselves.

"Of course, so much money was put into the reservoir and so many people built the reservoir at the beginning, if it didn't work, wouldn't it be in vain."

"This water is so cold! Today, you don't have to go to the creek to wash your clothes, there is water in the canal, and it doesn't hurt to wash at home. ”

Some canals will pass by the door of the villagers' houses, and a stone slab will be placed on the side, and it is convenient and fast to wash clothes while standing in the canal.

In the past, everyone washed by the stream, this is because there is no living water in the canal, and the villagers do not look down on the lifeless and clogged rainwater, and feel that it is not clean, unless it is like today, and it is living water that flows through it, which everyone likes and is rare.

Because of the release of water from the reservoir, the villagers who were still sad and worried about their crops before were smiling one by one, as if they had let go of the burden of the past few days.

This time the reservoir released water, not only Chen Huicun is looking forward to it, but also Zuoling Village next door!

However, Chen Hui Village is upstream, and they are naturally the first to irrigate, and in this regard, even if they are in a hurry, they can't change anything.

The rice seeds in Zuoling Village were re-planted after the rain in April, and they have not yet been headed! There are others and so on, and some grind.

During this time, it has been a hot weather, the fireball of the sun is hanging in the sky every day, the water on the surface of the earth naturally evaporates very quickly, in the countryside where the irrigation system is not complete, there has been no rain for more than 20 days, it has been a long, long time, the water in the paddy fields is about to be dried, and some fields with relatively high positions have already appeared a little cracks in the fields.

Qin Xi and Tang Ying saw that others were joining in the fun, and they also followed over to see the liveliness of the water coming from the reservoir, not to mention anything else, this season's harvest, after this irrigation, is guaranteed.

When the rice is filled, it will not take long for it to turn from green to yellow, and the ears of rice will become very full, and when the time comes, it will be ready to harvest and threak grain.

In addition to paddy fields, dry fields also need to be irrigated with water, and it is convenient for special people in the village to be responsible for this, Qin Xi and the two of them, they only need to pull weeds and catch insects with peace of mind.
