The rushing waters of the Western Boundary River may have disrupted the balance of the desert, breaking through the equilibrium of the underlying rock and sand layers, as if a shout in a snow-capped mountain could trigger an avalanche. Golden sand poured into the river like surging snow waves.
The waters of the Xijie River are too swift. Most of the sand flows downstream with the current, but a small portion of the sand sinks and mixes with the silt at the bottom of the riverbed, raising the riverbed and causing the water level to rise.
"Our dike can't hold them back, quickly move some stones over!" Jiang Bo shouted.
Everyone sprang into action, moving over all the stones they could find.
The farmland is very close to the western boundary river, so when the water level of the western boundary river rises, it is easy to flood the farmland.
Jiang Bo and Ye Wu built an earthen dam around the area to block the river water.
However, although the Xijie River was flowing rapidly a few days ago, it did not flood the farmland, so they thought the dikes were no longer needed.
However, the influx of sand caused the riverbed to rise rapidly. Although the dikes they built were high enough, they were still unable to withstand the force of the flood.
They had to pick up a stone wall to help hold back the water before it rose completely.
The temporary stone wall was certainly not waterproof, but it could help withstand impacts.
The river rose very quickly, and in just over an hour, it was almost reaching their farmland.
"Sister, Yan'er, don't come any closer," Ye Wu said, then tied a rope around himself and Jiang Bo, and tied the other end of the rope to a tree next to the farmland.
Ye Wu took three ropes and tied them together to make it long enough.
“Go find some stones, big or small, my brother-in-law and I are on this side of the embankment.”
Ye Wu said.
The water had risen to his ankles, and the occasional wave that crashed over them made it difficult for them to stand.
Ye Wen and Ye Yan knew that they were too small to be swept away, so they didn't say anything and instead sped up their search for stones.
Fortunately, they collected a lot of stones when they built the West Boundary River camp. There were quite a few left over.
The extra stones had already been used to build the dam, but it still wasn't enough, so they had to go find stones nearby.
There was also a small cart at the West Boundary River campsite. The two women finally found half a cart of stones and quickly pushed it over.
"Yan'er, hand the stones to them, I'll keep looking," Ye Wen said.
Ye Yan passed stones to Ye Wu across the waist-high earthen embankment, and Ye Wu then passed them to Jiang Bo to build a stone wall.
"Ye Wu, if we manage to protect the farmland this time, I'll unlock the right to kiss you, and you can kiss me anytime from now on," Ye Yan whispered to Ye Wu.
"Really?" Ye Wu's eyes lit up. Now he had to get Ye Yan's permission even to kiss her, which made him feel very frustrated.
"I'll sleep with you if I'm lying," Ye Yan said, blinking.
"Then I beg you, you absolutely must lie to me," Ye Wu said.
"Alright, stop flirting and get to work," Jiang Bo said as he came over.
"Alright, brother-in-law, let's speed things up."
After another half hour, they finally built a stone wall on the outside of the mud wall to help withstand the impact of the water flow.
“We’ll pile up more mud on the inside, make it thicker, that way it’ll be safer,” Ye Wu said.
They discovered the situation at the western border river in the afternoon, and now it's dark, but they still have to continue working in order to cultivate the land.
Of course, Ye Wu's main motivation was to unlock Ye Yan's right to kiss.
When everyone woke up the next day, they reported their experiences and learned that so much had happened in the micro-world the day before.
"Damn, Kogoro Tuli, you're really clever. You're the first to force your way into the realm."
After learning about what happened last night, Ye Wu patted Tu Li on the shoulder and said...
Tu Li was helpless; it seemed he couldn't escape the title of "Tu Li Kogoro."
"Ye Wu, you said that a lot of silt from the desert on the other side has settled in the riverbed?" Weng Ji asked in the group chat.
Ye Wu replied, "Yes, the riverbed has risen quite a bit. It's all thanks to us... building a stone wall to block the river."
“If that’s the case, then a long stretch of the West Boundary River should be covered with sand, which will inevitably cause a sharp drop in the flow rate. Once the rain stops, crossing the West Boundary River won’t be difficult for us,” Wengji said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. Did that mean they could go to the desert?
Ding Qihan sent another message: "If we're going to the desert, I want to be part of the vanguard. I still have some questions about the desert that I haven't been able to answer."
"Let's talk about that after the rain stops," Chen Yang replied.
"You all have things to do, but I'm the most bored. There's nothing to do on the island in the middle of the lake. I just sit there all day, staring blankly at the rain," Hou Yu said. His family was indeed very bored on the island.
Tang Jiaqi's eyes darted around, and she sent a message to Hou Yu's parents, Li Sen, and Hong Gui.
"Why don't you two make an excuse not to enter the Micro Realm tomorrow, and let them have some alone time?"
Hou Yu's parents readily agreed, and Li Sen and Hong Gui didn't hesitate much either, since they had nothing else to do in the micro-world anyway.
Chen Yang invited everyone to the tea room to chat, as Tu Li's matter was not yet fully resolved, and how he would respond to the police station was still a problem.
“I can say frankly that there’s nothing wrong with the Microworld Inn, but there is definitely something wrong with you guys. A group of big shots going to a small inn every day, it’s no wonder people are suspicious,” Tu Li said directly.
"This problem needs to be addressed properly," Yun Hu said.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I already came up with a solution last night."
"What method?" Everyone looked at him curiously.
"We will spread the word that we have a thousand-year-old Pu'er tea," Chen Yang said.
Yun Hu was taken aback, then suddenly realized.
"That's right. No matter how high the status of Pu'er tea is, it's not something you can just drink whenever you want. That explains why we came here."
"Wait? You also have thousand-year-old Pu'er tea?" Tu Li asked.
Li Su'er said with a smile, "Uncle Xiao Wulang, isn't this what you're drinking? We have more than a dozen thousand-year-old Pu'er tea trees, and another one that is about 5,000 years old. Uncle Wengji has calculated its age."
Tu Li's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the tea in his hand.
That sip of tea in his cup must have cost at least a thousand yuan. If you calculate it that way, he's already drunk several thousand yuan worth of tea. That's too extravagant.
"I should have savored it properly earlier; it tasted good just now. I never imagined it was an ancient tea from a thousand years ago," Tu Li exclaimed in surprise.
"Then, we also need to explain that our tea is not for sale to the public. Brother Yun, you should send out a message saying that you offered 500,000 but still couldn't buy it. That should scare away most buyers."
Chen Yang said.
Yun Hu nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and said, "However, doing this will make you very famous among some wealthy people. With my promotion and Guo Zifeng, an insider in the industry, there is no doubt about the quality of your tea."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's alright, it's good to find a few more wealthy residents."
Yun Hu quickly said, "You can find rich people, but if you need to buy anything to bring into the micro-world in the future, please be sure to come to me."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "No problem, you will be the exclusive supplier of Micro World from now on."
