Erlaizi sighed in his heart, this is all fine, after planting the ginger seeds, he went to have lunch.
As soon as I entered the house, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and then it started to rain heavily.
When Jiang Li saw that it was raining so heavily and windy outside, he ran outside and led the big yellow cow into the house without even finishing his meal.
Jiang An thought aggrievedly, you guys still want to get me!
Erlaizi was a little confused. Why did they have to lead the cow into the house? Wasn't there a cowshed?
"This is our precious cow, it cannot be wronged," Jiang Tuantuan said calmly.
I don’t know what’s going on with this rain, it’s been falling for a week straight. The wheat in the field should have been ripe and ready for harvest in another month, but this heavy rain completely flooded the wheat.
Even if we harvest it now, we can’t eat it. We can only pray to God that it won’t rain again.
However, things did not go as planned. Due to the heavy rain, the dam upstream collapsed. That night, the water flowed like a wild beast. Without the restraint of the dam, it rushed madly downstream.
In a very short time, the fields and villages were flooded.
Daping Village happens to be just downstream.
The next morning, everyone woke up and found that the house was full of water. When they went out, they found that the fields were completely submerged.
The hillside where Jiang Tuantuan lived happened to be higher and farther away from the river in the village, so the damage he suffered was not particularly great.
It was still drizzling in the sky, and people put on their straw raincoats and hurried to the village chief's house.
Jiang Tuantuan also put on her raincoat and prepared to go out, but was stopped by Feng Xiaoli, "You are five months pregnant now, your belly is big, and there is mud outside. What if you slip?"
"It's okay, mom. Let Jiang Li go with me. He can help me."
Feng Xiaoli was still extremely worried, but Jiang Dafeng still needed someone to take care of him, so she finally let Jiang Tuantuan sit on a cart and go over.
Pulled by a big yellow ox, four legs are always more stable than two legs.
As soon as I arrived at the village chief's house, I ran into the head of the village.
The head of the village looked very serious, his brows were twisted into a knot, and he strode into the yard, followed closely by Jiang Tuantuan.
The head of the village sat at the head, and the village chief stood beside him. "Are there any casualties in your village?"
The village chief said, "No, but the fields in the village are all built around the river, so they are all flooded and there is no harvest."
The village head's nervousness eased a little. "It's good that no one was injured. Your village is lucky. Several villages closer to the upstream had their houses collapsed. Almost everyone in the village was drowned."
After hearing this, everyone was speechless and became anxious.
The village head added, "It's best not to go out recently. There will definitely be a lot of refugees. If you have food at home, save it. We don't know what this winter will be like, so take precautions early."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
The people left in the yard were at a loss.
The village chief sighed and said, "Everyone should go away."
Jiang Tuantuan also followed the crowd out, and just as he was about to get on the cart, he discovered that there was one more person on the cart.
"Boss, you can't just ignore me."
Jiang Tuantuan couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "According to the agreement, you still have to work in my house for another month. I won't ignore you."
Erlaizi was very glad that he had said he would go to help with the work, otherwise he would really have to chew on the bark now.
After returning home, Jiang Tuantuan looked at the remaining food at home and found that it was only enough to last for three months.
I looked up at the thatched hut at home. It was in tatters due to the rain. Winter would be here in March, so it would definitely not be habitable. It would cost a lot of money to rebuild it, so I had to go to the county town to buy a house.
While Jiang Tuantuan was pondering, Er Laizi ran in excitedly, "Boss Tuan, there are a lot of fish by the river, all washed down from upstream."
"Then go and catch more, or you'll be hungry later."
He then instructed Jiang Li, "Besides fish, help me catch some other small animals. Catch me any that you haven't caught before. I want them regardless of whether they are edible or not."
Jiang Li agreed with a bitter face.
When they arrived at the river, every household ran out to pick up fish, and they were so crazy that they almost fought over them. Er Laizi, relying on his well-developed limbs and great strength, squeezed into the crowd and started fishing.
Jiang Li was catching some snails and frogs, animals that not many people wanted.
In just one afternoon, all the fish by the river were divided up. Erlaizi carried a basket of fish, and Jiangli's backpack had everything.
When they got home, Jiang Tuantuan dragged Jiang Li's backpack back to the house.
Take good care of the doors and windows, and put them away one by one. The only benefit brought by this flood is the collection of a few more species.
Jiang Tuantuan’s chicken is loved by many hosts from other spaces, and it sells very well in the trading mall. Jiang Tuantuan even gave his store a name, “Tuantuan’s Food”.
There were seven or eight fish in the basket, but he only ate two of them, and the rest were sold on Jiang Tuantuan’s trading mall.
In addition to the fish being washed down, there were also many bullfrogs, which often made noises at night and made Jiang Tuantuan unable to sleep. So he decided to go all out and put all of them into his space and put them up for sale in the trading mall. Unexpectedly, they were liked by many people and he also made a small profit of points.
A week had passed since the dam collapsed, the rain had finally stopped, and the refugees' riot had reached its climax.
This rain was not only widespread but also affected all areas north of Jizhou, leaving many people homeless.
That day, more than a dozen people in ragged clothes broke into Daping Village. Most of them were young people, and there were two or three women with three children. Each of them had tools in their hands. They entered the village and began to plunder.
They would break into a house and start stealing food, and if anyone tried to stop them, they would beat them to the ground with tools.
Unfortunately, the first family to be robbed was Boss Jiang's family.
Da Wang was cooking lunch in the kitchen when a group of people rushed in, picked up the food and were about to leave. Da Wang rushed over shouting.
As a result, he was kicked to the ground by a bearded man. Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er and others in the house heard the noise and ran out, but they were no match for this group of starving refugees.
Mrs. Wang twisted her arm and rolled on the ground in pain. Boss Wang's leg was also kicked and suffered a minor fracture.
Seeing this, Wang Lao Er squatted on the ground, not daring to breathe. Wang Lao San was even more cowardly. The children and women in the family hid in the corner and cried. Only Dahong was smart enough.
When they saw this group of people, they immediately ran to the village chief's house to call for help. When the village chief brought Zhang Dahu and his son here, this group of refugees had already run away.
When they were running up the mountain, they happened to pass by Jiang Tuantuan's family. Seeing so many chickens in the fence and cows in the cowshed, they became evil-minded and planned to steal a few of them.
But these chickens were carefully cared for by Jiang Li, so how could he bear to let them be robbed like this? Especially the big yellow cattle at home, which were even more important. He stopped them in front of the fence to prevent these people from passing.
The bearded man looked at Jiang Li as a little boy and didn't take him seriously at all. He raised his fist and was about to hit him.
