Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue and explained dryly, "I, I didn't mean it."
Huo Jue also knew that Wen Xia Nuan had just woken up, so she definitely wasn't eavesdropping at this moment.
"What does Wen Zhiqing want to eat?"
Huo Jue's voice came, and Wen Xia Nuan waved her hand: "No, I'm not hungry yet."
She had overheard their conversation, so how could she still have the mood to ask him to cook for her?
"Huo Jue, the rain is getting heavier."
When Wen Xia Nuan said this, Huo Jue could understand what she meant.
He responded calmly, and when he looked at Wen Xia Nuan, he also said, "I know."
"Wen Zhiqing, I need to go out for a while."
Wen Xia Nuan's expression instantly tensed up. She looked at him and said, "I'll go with you."
"You stay home."
Huo Jue waved his hand. The rain was too heavy and she didn't know what the situation was like by the river. If it was really like Wen Xia Nuan said, she might as well not go.
Wen Xia Nuan didn't agree. The rain was falling too heavily. If she let Huo Jue leave on his own, she was worried whether he could handle the situation on his own.
"I'm going with you!"
Huo Jue saw her persistence and he couldn't refuse her. He could only follow her will.
"If you want to, then follow me."
He took out a straw raincoat and gave it to Wen Xia Nuan: "Put it on."
Wen Xia Nuan knew that the situation was urgent, so she didn't act pretentiously at the moment and quickly took the raincoat he handed her and put it on.
Wen Xia Nuan regretted it the moment she left the hospital.
She didn't expect the rain to be so heavy. When Wen Xia Nuan stepped on the ground, the water spread over the surface of her shoes.
There was water all over her feet, and Wen Xia Nuan frowned, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.
Huo Jue could see that she was unhappy. After pausing for a moment, he looked at her and said, "Can I carry you on my back?"
Wen Xia Nuan paused and quickly waved her hand: "No need."
They were almost there. Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on Huo Jue: "We're almost at the river, let's go over there!"
The water in this river is rushing, and the water level has indeed risen a lot. Just as Wen Xia Nuan said, if it continues to rain for several days in a row, the water will definitely overflow.
Huo Jue's heart was filled with concern, and his eyes were also filled with concern when he looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, you are right, the water is indeed overflowing."
Wen Xia Nuan frowned, and when she looked at Huo Jue, a sense of unease welled up in her heart: "Huo Jue, the river backflow is too serious."
"And you see the water can't be drained out of that outlet at all."
Huo Jue was worried about something, so he made a quick decision: "Let's go find the captain."
Wen Xia Nuan heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Huo Jue's prompt decision, she nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Huo Jue heaved a sigh of relief, and Wen Xia Nuan also smiled and said, "Let's go."
Wen Xia Nuan was struggling under the drizzling rain. Huo Jue could see her wavering. He held her arm and soothed her in his voice, "Slow down."
Wen Xia Nuan nodded: "Okay."
Huo Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Wen Xia Nuan walking forward, he quickened his pace.
Arriving at the captain's house, Huo Jue knocked on the door. The captain also ran out in a hurry: "I'm coming."
When he opened the door and his eyes fell on Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan, the captain was also very surprised: "Why are you two here?"
"Hurry, hurry, come in!"
Although Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan were wearing straw raincoats, the rain was too heavy to be stopped, and both of them were soaked to varying degrees.
"I'll ask my wife to get two handkerchiefs to wipe you."
The captain came back soon, and Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on him: "Don't be busy, we came here this time to talk to you."
Huo Jue paused as he wiped the rain from his hands, his gaze fixed on the captain. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Captain, have you ever checked the river?"
The captain was startled at first, but then quickly realized: "You guys have also checked it?"
Huo Jue nodded, and the captain sighed, "I've been to that river. Huo Jue, I didn't expect you to remember this too!"
"Captain, I'm not exaggerating. I'm sure you've seen it too. The water level in the river has risen a lot. It's time we think of a solution."
Wen Xia Nuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, Captain, if we don't do anything, something will definitely happen!"
The captain frowned, ruffling his hair with his hand. He said with embarrassment, "Of course I know. The rain is pouring down like a hole in the sky. I also know the water level is rising. But what should we do?"
He looked at Huo Jue and discussed with him, "I've been thinking about this problem for the past two days. Huo Jue, if we don't let the water overflow, can you help me think of what to do?"
"Captain, do you think it's feasible for us to use sacks to carry the soil?"
Huo Jue's gaze fell on him. The captain thought for a moment, the surprise in his eyes almost overflowing. He thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "It's a feasible method."
Huo Jue heaved a sigh of relief. Wen Xia Nuan also said, "Captain, there's no time to lose. It's best to quickly gather the villagers who are free to start digging for flood prevention."
The rain was still drizzling in the yard. The captain thought for a moment, then looked at Wen Xia Nuan in front of him and said, "This rain won't stop for a while. If we want to gather the villagers, we can only use the gongs and drums to beat them."
Huo Jue took the gong from the captain's hand with great tact. "I'll go, Captain. Where do you say we should gather?"
"Threshing ground!"
After hearing the captain's words, Huo Jue quickly walked out, and Wen Xia Nuan didn't have time to follow him.
"Wen Zhiqing, I also have something to trouble you with."
The captain blocked her way. Wen Xia Nuan glanced at him suspiciously, her expression puzzled: "What do you want me to do?"
When her voice reached him, the captain thought for a moment: "Wen Zhiqing, I see that you seem to know a lot about flood prevention. When we go to the threshing ground later, why don't you help explain it to us?"
Wen Xia Nuan nodded in understanding, looked at him and said, "Okay."
The sound of gongs and drums rang out throughout the village, and Wen Xia Nuan quickly followed the team leader to the threshing ground.
The captain had a serious expression on his face, and the villagers from all around gathered here one after another.
"Captain, what happened?"
The villagers looked at the captain in confusion. Huo Jue put away the gong and drum and stood aside waiting quietly.
"Fellow villagers, I called you here today because I need your help with something."
