In the back mountain.
The God of War led the way forward excitedly.
Zhao Wei didn’t know whether this thing would work or not, after all, it was too small.
I was calling Dahei's name all the way.
After shouting until his mouth was dry, he finally stopped under a tree and picked some wild peaches to quench his thirst.
Yunxiu felt a little hot and said, "It's so late now, why is it still so hot!"
Logically, it should be cooler in the morning and evening, but this year's weather seems to be even hotter than last year.
Zhao Wei nodded and said, "I've asked someone to check the river in our village. The water level is dropping every day. This is not a good sign. The water diversion project cannot be delayed any longer."
Huangmao and his men are responsible for patrolling, and the safety of this water area is of top priority.
The safety of water in the village and the safety of waterways in the fields are the most important.
He asked someone to stick a bamboo pole in the middle of the river and mark the position of the water surface.
Now, that mark is going down, every day.
How low has it fallen now?
Even if people from the neighboring village came to divert the water into the waterway and flood the farmland, it would take at least three days to create that much water storage capacity.
As long as it doesn't rain, the situation will become increasingly drier.
A large part of Zhao Wei's work arrangements tonight is about how to solve the problem of drought in the fields.
If we rely on manual watering, I'm afraid everyone in the village will be exhausted.
Under the scorching sun, the water you carried would not quench your thirst at all and would evaporate in just a moment.
But it is impossible to block the scorching sun. We can't set up tents or use parasols to shade the crops.
The only thing we can do is to spread straw and cover the soil to conserve moisture.
Around the roots of the crops, spread a layer of wheat straw, rice straw, or chopped weeds from the fields.
Cover it with a layer of soil to reduce evaporation of surface water.
It's a big project, but women, the elderly and children can do it.
As for the men, they had to start diverting river water. This was a huge project that consumed a lot of physical energy. Under the scorching sun, it was a great test for the people.
Some mobilization is needed and it is necessary to hold a village meeting.
He had a lot of things to do, and he told them all to Yunxiu as if he was just gossiping.
Yunxiu really couldn't help him in any way. Her starting point was too low, which was her weakness.
But Zhao Wei never looked down on her.
Because she has a kind of perseverance and tenacity, which is somewhat similar to myself.
Ever since realizing her shortcomings, Yunxiu has never stopped learning.
There was a heavy bundle of newspapers in their home.
Those were all obtained by Zhao Wei from Captain Zhou.
These things have now become Yunxiu's reading materials and a window for her to understand the world.
Plus, Zhao Wei had always been like a teacher, breaking down and mashing up a lot of things to fill her brain.
After a long period of immersion, even a stubborn stone will be awakened by her.
As the couple was talking and laughing, a panicked scream was suddenly heard from the woods.
Then came the leopard's howl of "Wow-Ah".
Someone was attacked by a wild beast.
The couple looked at each other, and then tacitly found a secluded place to hide.
The God of War wanted to scream, but Zhao Wei pinched his mouth with his hand.
This was not the first time he pinched the wolf cub's mouth.
During each training session, he added some commands and actions to continuously strengthen the three wolf cubs.
For example, shut up, sit down, eat, lie down, spin, bite, chase...
At the moment he just gave a hint, and the God of War really shut up and did not cause any trouble to Zhao Wei.
At the same time, the noise coming from the forest gradually became more intense and moved towards their direction.
Yunxiu silently loaded a shotgun and waited patiently.
Zhao Wei did not move, and his defense seemed to be mediocre.
Yunxiu looked over in confusion, and Zhao Wei then explained in a low voice: "I think it was the leopard I met on my way back."
"Hiss... Isn't that person..."
If the other party is from Mouse Village, then there is really no need to rescue him.
The two of them were waiting there tacitly, and soon they saw a dark shadow staggering towards them.
Behind him, the wild beast was biting loudly.
Finally, the man seemed to have reached the end of his strength and was knocked to the ground by the beast's final blow.
Everything happened so fast, so fast that before people could react, the man's voice stopped abruptly.
Zhao Wei shone the flashlight over there just in time, and saw a leopard covered in blood biting the man's neck tightly.
The light from the flashlight frightened the beast, and instead of letting the man go, it grabbed him in its mouth and tried to drag him away.
This man is its prey.
Zhao Wei fired a shot. This ferocious creature was too close to the village. It might come down the mountain to disturb the residents after getting addicted to it.
Everything was over very quickly. After all, the distance was too close, so there was no reason why he couldn't hit the target accurately.
After all, there was a dead person, so Zhao Wei did not let Yunxiu go forward to check, but led the God of War up himself.
He mainly wanted to see who the unfortunate deceased was.
As a result, when I took a look, I was relieved at once, because the other party turned out to be the thief who stole the food.
I was originally thinking about how to solve this problem. Now, the other party has been solved by Leopard, and it is solved once and for all.
