Chapter 10 Extreme Heat
Jiang Si was so curious about how Qin Shen would treat Zhang Dingtian and Zhang Jing that he held his breath and secretly changed the hole to continue observing.
Qin Shen approached step by step, holding a bloody saber in his hand. Zhang Dingtian was so scared that he climbed up and hurriedly explained: "We didn't know you occupied this place. If we knew, we would never dare to climb in. Please, let us go!"
Zhang Jing's eyes fell on the two wild boars behind Qin Shen, and he suppressed a smile: "Brother, we really didn't mean it. This house has been vacant for a long time. Our house was burned down, and we had no choice but to break in. If you don't mind, we can help you pickle the bacon and do some work for you. Just give us a room for our whole family!"
They didn't know that Qin Shen was Qin Songming's son.
Qin Shen gave them a deep look and said, "Get lost!"
Zhang Jing really didn't want to live under the same roof with such a dangerous person, "Okay, okay..."
They limped out of the yard. Jiang Si was quite surprised. She clearly saw a strong murderous intent in Qin Shen's eyes, but in the end, he still let the man go.
Then his moral character is quite high, and he should not pose a threat to their family for the time being.
Jiang Si put away the telescope, turned around and went downstairs, but she didn't see Qin Shen, who was standing still. He suddenly looked in her direction, his dark eyes flashing with tiny cold lights, and his silent expression was obscure and unclear.
Zhang Dingtian and Zhang Jing returned defeated. Zhao Yun turned around and found Grandpa Xu, an elderly man left behind in the village. After begging for a while, Grandpa Xu, who also needed someone to take care of him, finally agreed to let them move into his house.
Jiang Linhai kindly sent the things over, but she still felt that the things were not complete enough and wanted Jiang Linhai to move a few large water tanks for them to store water.
Jiang Sili ignored her and pulled Jiang Linhai away.
On the way back, the ground was even drier and cracked, and the paddy fields were curled up and had twisted cracks.
Jiang Si took out the weather station's special thermometer and measured the air. It soared to 65 degrees.
It is estimated that the Longquan River will dry up soon.
At that time, the villagers will fall into extreme panic and try every means to plunder water resources.
Jiang Si planned to fill up the water purification bucket in the space and not go out again.
She and Jiang Linhai came to the Longquan River and saw that the water level had dropped a lot. On the exposed riverbed, there were many fish struggling for death.
The villagers were frantically picking up fish. Under the scorching sun, some people had huge blisters on their faces, as if they had contracted a terrible disease.
Since Jiang Si and Jiang Linhai appeared here, of course they had to act a little crazy.
The father and daughter looked at each other, chose a place with less mud and sand, and walked towards the center of the river.
They were wearing wellboots and had only taken a few steps when they saw a very large carp.
Carp can be dried or made into salted fish and preserved for one or two years.
Jiang Si’s space is limited, and when it is consumed to a certain extent, he still needs replenishment.
Jiang Linhai picked it up and put it in his backpack. In a blink of an eye, he saw a big carp stranded in the mud.
He took two or three steps forward and stepped on something that exploded with a series of crackling sounds that made his scalp tingle.
Jiang Linhai thought it was fish eggs, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to catch fish.
After Jiang Si stepped on the rocks and caught a few fish, he arrived at the center of Longquan River.
She stretched out her hand, intending to fill the water bucket in the space directly. The moment her fingers dipped into the water, she saw transparent bubbles with a hint of red floating in the water.
Looking closely, the water was actually filled with these unknown bubbles.
The little red dot in the middle of the bubble was still moving.
These are mosquito eggs!
In an instant, Jiang Si's face changed drastically and she stood up suddenly, which scared Li Cui who was about to push her into the water.
In my previous life, the sudden appearance of swarms of mosquitoes were like extremely terrifying vampires. If you didn’t have time to close the doors and windows, the mosquitoes would swarm in and suck you dry in an instant.
Some mosquitoes carry viruses, and one bite from them can cause strange and inexplicable diseases.
Jiang Si still feels his hair stand on end when he recalls the scene where the whole family hid in the room while swarms of mosquitoes were buzzing outside and banging against the door.
In this life, the temperature has risen sharply, and it looks like the mosquitoes will hatch early in a few days.
I have to go home and rearrange it to prevent a mosquito from flying in.
Jiang Si told Jiang Linhai to go home quickly, but Li Cui arrogantly put her hands on her hips and stood in front of her. She pointed at the fish in Jiang Si's basket and said, "Your family has so much land and has the largest grain reserves in our village, yet you're trying to steal our fish! Put it down!"
There are so many fish here, but she chose to target Jiang Si, obviously looking for trouble.
Behind Li Cui, her three sons and daughters-in-law all came. No wonder she dared to be so arrogant.
When the others saw Jiang Si being bullied, they were afraid that Li Cui would also try to steal their fish, so they ran away as quickly as possible. Only Niuniu from the next village turned to the forest ranger Lu Zhifeng and said, "Dad, they are bullying my sister!"
Lu Zhifeng showed hesitation. Jiang Linhai saw Jiang Si being embarrassed by Li Cui, raised his sickle and shouted: "Li Cui! If you dare to touch my daughter, I will kill your whole family!"
Li Cui sneered, "I want to see whose whole family dies!"
Li Cui's son and daughter-in-law all raised their sickles, looking familiar and fearless.
The Longquan River has been completely occupied by mosquito eggs. Jiang Si doesn't want the fish, and it's impossible for him to let Li Cui get it for free.
Jiang Si picked up the backpack, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Don't you want fish? Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Li Cui was proud of Jiang Si's cowardice. She suddenly took out a pair of scissors and said, "Last time you cut my hair, it almost killed me. Today, either you keep my hair or you collect a hundred kilograms of fish for me!"
The river surface was reflective and after being in the water for a while, my whole body felt like it was being boiled.
Even if Jiang Si could pick up a hundred kilograms of fish, he would lose half his life.
Jiang Linhai grabbed the fish from the basket and slammed it hard on Li Cui's face. "How much do you want? I'll give you as much as you want. I'll eat you two until you die!"
The flapping carp hit Li Cui with several big mouth seeds, and she fell into the mud, with mosquito eggs all over her buttocks. The crackling sound made her hair stand on end.
Li Cui's son and daughter-in-law paid no attention and raised their sickles to chop Jiang Linhai and Jiang Si.
Jiang Si smashed the fish basket on their heads and pulled out the dagger from his waist. "Bang!"
The sound of a gunshot frightened Li Cui's family so much that they huddled in place.
Lu Zhifeng's eyes were sharp, and he pointed the black muzzle of his gun at Li Cui's head: "Get out——"
No matter how sharp the sickles in their hands are, they are not faster than bullets.
And once you are shot, no one can save you.
Before Li Cui could get up, her son and daughter-in-law had already run away.
Li Cui was so scared that her legs went weak, tears and snot started streaming, and she ran while shouting "Don't shoot" and crawling.
How arrogant he was just now, how embarrassed he is now.
Jiang Si didn't need Lu Zhifeng to save him, but he had already helped, so he had to thank him.
Jiang Si prepared to give 50 kilograms of millet and a piece of bacon to Lu Zhifeng.
Lu Zhifeng touched Niuniu's head and replied calmly: "Your grandfather saved me, now we're even, say goodbye to your sister and uncle."
Niuniu waved her hand sensibly, showing a lovely smile like a flower, "Sister, uncle, see you next time."
The forest protection gun in Lu Zhifeng's hand can ensure the safety of him and Niu Niu, but he cannot anticipate other dangers.
Jiang Si thought for a moment, then pointed to the clearly visible mosquito eggs in the puddle and said, "The mosquito eggs are so large and numerous. I suspect something has mutated. Uncle Lu, please prepare some more mugwort at home."
