"Captain, what's so important?"
"Yes, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
The villagers had already begun chattering, and the captain raised his hand to calm them down: "Quiet, everyone, be quiet."
"Everyone has seen the rain, but have you checked the water level in our river?"
The villagers were silent. The captain glanced around and said quickly, "I guess you didn't look carefully enough?"
"There's something wrong with the river water. If we don't take precautions, our crops will be in trouble!"
Chen Yanfang stood in the crowd and reached out to pull her mother. "Mom, what our team leader said makes sense. You've seen the situation in the river. If we don't solve it, the crops in the fields will be flooded."
Auntie Pang's heart moved, and she looked at Chen Yanfang: "Then ask the captain what we should do?"
Chen Yanfang nodded: "It's time to listen carefully."
Auntie Pang responded, and the team leader glanced at everyone one by one: "Our crops are our lifeblood! If the crops are flooded, all our work this year will be in vain!"
"Captain, just tell me how you want to solve this!"
"Yes, the crops cannot be flooded!"
The villagers' words came to him one after another, and the team leader spread his hands and said, "If you believe me, just listen to what I have to say!"
Everyone paused their conversation and looked at the captain.
"Huo Jue came to discuss with me. If we want to solve the problem of water in this river, we have to work together!"
"We have to fill sacks with soil and pile them up by the river!"
His voice was full of seriousness. Everyone looked at each other, and finally Aunt Fatty and her family stood up and said, "Captain, we have the shovels and sacks here. Just tell us what you need to do, and we will cooperate."
The captain's heart moved, and his eyes were filled with concern: "Auntie Fatty, what we need are sacks and soil. If you think it's okay, go back and get some extra sacks."
"Any of you who are willing to water the soil can go together."
A thought flashed through Aunt Fatty's eyes. Looking at the captain in front of her, she said seriously, "Okay, I'll get it now!"
"Grab your sacks and shovels and gather at the riverbank. This is a big project, and we need everyone to work together!"
Every word the captain said fell on everyone's heart, and they ran home without delay.
Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan quickly went to get sacks and shovels. Many people had already come to the riverside.
Everyone was digging soil and putting it into sacks. Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan were naturally not far behind. One of them shoveled the soil while the other filled the bags. Soon, several sacks were piled up.
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes also fell on Huo Jue: "Then should these sacks be piled up as well?"
She took a look and saw that almost all the villagers were shoveling soil and filling sacks.
Huo Jue paused, his gaze falling on Wen Xia Nuan: "So what are your plans?"
Wen Xia Nuan was silent for a moment. Huo Jue raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and looked at her: "I'll go find the captain."
Before Wen Xia Nuan could reach out and grab him, Huo Jue had already walked out.
"Captain, let's do this. Let some people fill the sacks, and then some people take the sacks and pile them up by the river."
"And the openings in the connected fields also need to be blocked."
Wen Xia Nuan also came over, her eyes falling on Huo Jue and the team leader: "I'll stay behind and watch them pile up the dirt. It will be almost done once they're done."
After hearing Wen Xia Nuan's words, Huo Jue's eyes became serious: "Captain, I agree with what Wen Zhiqing said."
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on him, and Huo Jue also glanced at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing will cover the rear, and I will be in the front."
The captain thought for a moment and nodded, glancing at Wen Xia Nuan with a look of concern in his eyes: "Then I'll trouble Wen Zhiqing."
Huo Jue had already called on a few familiar people in the village to come and move the sacks.
The team leader maintained order while Huo Jue carried the bags one by one. The rain was getting heavier, but the villagers were united and worked together to carry the bags.
"Wen Zhiqing."
Chen Yanfang tied up the sacks one by one, her eyes fixed on her, her expression tinged with concern: "You came up with this idea, right?"
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on Chen Yanfang. She smiled and said, "What's yours or mine? I'm just working for everyone anyway."
Chen Yanfang looked at Wen Xia Nuan with a smile: "Wen Zhiqing, I'm actually very envious of you."
"You can do things that I can't do. I actually envy you."
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on Chen Yanfang. She didn't expect a woman to say such words.
"Did Wen Zhiqing not expect me to say that?"
Chen Yanfang smiled, and Wen Xia Nuan responded, "I really didn't expect it."
There was doubt in her eyes as Chen Yanfang tied things up skillfully.
Wen Xia Nuan calculated how long these piles of mud could last. Looking at the group of people working hard to stack the sacks, she also came to the river.
The young people were all moving the mud piles. Wen Xia Nuan watched the scene unfold before her. Despite the heavy rain, she made her way through the crowd to Huo Jue's side. Seeing him busy at work, she worriedly thought, "Huo Jue."
When her voice came, Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, why are you here?"
He frowned tightly, wanting Wen Xia Nuan to leave quickly.
"I came here to ask, are these sacks enough?"
Her eyes fell on Huo Jue. Huo Jue reached out and wiped his cheek, the rain dripping down his face. "It probably won't work yet. I've discussed it with the captain, and we need to pile up the sacks on both sides of the river!"
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at both sides of the river and wanted to block it with sacks, but that alone was not enough.
She had a rough idea in mind and looked at Huo Jue and said, "Okay, I got it!"
She turned and walked out. Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan, and he finally said to her, "Be careful, Wen Zhiqing."
Wen Xia Nuan paused, then waved towards him: "Don't worry, I know!"
Huo Jue swallowed the rest of his words. Wen Xia Nuan returned to the field and looked at the busy figures of the group of people. She said, "Let's work together and try harder. The sacks by the river are not enough!"
Wen Xianuan's voice was filled with seriousness, and Chen Yanfang also greeted everyone: "Did everyone hear what Wen Zhiqing said? Let's work hard and try to handle this matter properly!"
