Lei Zhong thought what she said was nonsense. How could things in dreams be taken seriously? If everyone's dreams could come true, then why would they work? They could just rely on dreams to have food and drink.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Tian Xiaolan felt a little worried. If even the gods they trusted couldn't move him, she had to think of a way quickly.
"Look at the ants moving on the ground. You know the saying in the textbook, 'Ants moving, snakes climbing trees'? It usually happens before it rains or when danger is about to happen."
Lei Zhong had a general understanding of these common senses and knew that she was not lying. He also looked down at the ants lined up in a group. They were heading out of the village in an orderly manner. What she said might be true. He was a little undecided. After all, this was a matter related to the livelihood of the people and could not be careless. He asked her what she thought: "What do you think we should do? Did they really tell you that there was a landslide?"
Tian Xiaolan suddenly had an idea, and she said confidently, "I think we don't know when the danger will come, so we can take precautions in advance to minimize the losses. Let's have some people harvest the millet in the fields and move it to a spacious place in the village where it can be stored. The rest of the people will be divided into two groups. One group will dig pits to bury the large rocks on the mountain, and the other group will dig a deep ditch at the foot of the mountain. We can't stop it from sliding, but we can prevent it from flooding other land. It would be best if we can finish these things today. The sooner we get it done, the better."
Although Lei Zhong was still a little bit unconvinced, Tian Xiaolan did not die after falling into the water before, but regained consciousness. Maybe she really had the ability to communicate with gods, which was how she mobilized the villagers to dig ditches with him.
Lei Zhong nodded and looked at Tian Xiaolan: "What you said makes sense. How can I make them believe this?"
Tian Xiaolan said calmly, "It won't be less than the necessary centimeters, and the ditch we dug can be used to grow peanuts next year. Just think of it as doing the job in advance. As for the rocks on the mountain, if the wind blows down and damages the machinery, we won't be able to pay them back even if we sell the whole village."
Tian Xiaolan did not tell the villagers about her dream. First of all, the villagers might not believe it and think she was fooling them. They were already busy with the autumn harvest, and now she was thinking about all kinds of things and asking them to do this and that. Some people would make trouble, and Wang Ping was one of them. It happened that Wang Long was not in charge, so it was best for Captain Lei to speak up.
Lei Zhong shook his head: "You think too well, they won't listen to me."
At this time, Tian Xiaolan had a question and said to Lei Zhong: "Aren't you the captain?"
"I am the captain, yes, but I am only a figurehead. The decision-making power still lies with Wang Long, unless..."
Tian Xiaolan seemed to understand what he meant, "Unless my status is higher than Wang Long's."
Lei Zhong was stunned and said in disbelief: "How can you possibly suppress him? He is the village chief."
"So what if it's the village chief? I'm definitely older than him."
Lei Zhong yelled, "Are you going to find the deputy director? It would take her a whole day to go to town and back. If something really happened by then, it would be too late. Besides, can we really hire him?"
"No, just cooperate with me when the time comes."
"Okay." Although Tian Xiaolan didn't tell him what to do, she really changed a lot, and everything she did looked good when taken individually.
After he finished speaking, there was silence around them for a while, with only the occasional chirping of cicadas in the trees, which made people feel annoyed.
At this time, Li Weimin was taking Wang Cuihua for a stroll by the lake. After walking around for a long time, they didn't see anyone except the two of them.
Wang Cuihua looked around, but Chen Dong was nowhere to be found. She demanded, "Are you lying to me? Do you have any thoughts about me?"
The latter sentence was not a question. She couldn't think of any other reason why he brought her here. She also knew that she was as beautiful as Yang Yuhuan in ancient times. She looked down on muscular men like Li Weimin. She knew at first glance that he would not love his wife and might even beat her.
Li Weimin was stunned when he heard it. Why was she so arrogant? If it wasn't for the plan Tian Xiaolan mentioned, he would have stopped serving her. "He must be late. Wait a moment, I'll go find him."
Wang Cuihua cursed, "Damn it, why don't you come? My feet are tired from walking. Come on, go quickly. I'll wait for him here."
Now she was hot and sleepy, so she found a relatively clean stone and sat down against the tree trunk, waiting for boredom to make her fall asleep.
Li Weimin left, not looking for Chen Dong, but heading towards Wang Long's house. Li Weiqing, who was following behind him, was a little confused by his actions. Could it be that his brother was so kind as to run errands for others and become a matchmaker?!
When he thought of this possibility, and thought of his elder brother chasing after him and introducing him to a girl in the future, Li Weiqing jumped up in fright.
Li Weimin arrived at Wang Long's house and began knocking on the door again, shouting, "Uncle, open the door! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Lying on the bed and smoking in a daze, I was startled by his sudden knock on the door. The cigarette choked my throat and I kept coughing: "Cough cough cough, if you don't sleep, I won't have a bed for you even if you come to my house! What's the big deal?"
Li Weimin looked at him and said, "I saw Chen Dong trying to make a move on Wang Cuihua. I don't know what he was doing with his mouth to his mouth."
Wang Long's mind buzzed. Chen Dong, with his status, wanted to defile his daughter. He didn't even realize what kind of person he was. He wasn't even worthy of carrying Cuihua's shoes! The opportunity was right in front of him, but he couldn't even do a single thing.
Wang Long slapped Li Weimin on the back of his head and shouted anxiously, "Are you telling the truth? Were you the one who told Cuihua to leave just now?!"
Li Weimin admitted, "It was me. I saw something was wrong with them, so I came to tell you. Do you want to come over?"
This was quite true. Wang Long patted his butt and said, "Then why are you still dawdling? Why don't you take me with you?"
Wang Long looked at his door with a somewhat uneasy look, locked it, and reluctantly followed Li Weimin out.
"Uncle, why are you so anxious?"
"Hurry up and go, why are you talking so much!" Wang Long kicked him forward from behind.
Li Weimin still walked slowly, he wanted to buy more time for Tian Xiaolan.
Here, seeing Li Weimin taking Wang Long away, Tian Xiaolan and Lei Zhong came out from their hiding place. Tian Xiaolan found a long stick as thick as a wrist at the gate of their yard.
Zhu Zhi asked curiously, "What are you doing with this? I brought a shoulder pole."
"Just wait and see." Tian Xiaolan kept it a secret.
Li Weiqing had planned to go home after his elder brother left, but he didn't expect to see Tian Xiaolan coming out. Not only her but also the captain was there, and the captain was carrying two baskets and walking towards the tightly locked gate of Wang Longguan.
