There was a lot of rain during this period. At first, the villagers could stay at home safely, but it still rained every now and then.

And every time it rained, the rain became stronger and stronger, from light rain to torrential rain, and the power was cut off again in the village.

Everyone is almost used to the power outage.The biggest problem now is that there is more and more accumulated water on the ground. The villagers who have never been troubled by waterlogging in previous years are starting to worry.

In previous years, the area where Sanlihe Village is located did not have so much rainfall. The rain fell from the sky on the land and gathered in the depression.

I heard that several nearby villages were flooded. The location of the town was not good, it happened to be a basin, and the water had already flooded the houses.But now the houses in rural areas are basically more than two floors, and the first floor can still be lived in if it is submerged.

Wen Zheng's house is located on a high terrain, and the rainwater fell on his house, and it didn't take long for it to flow down the terrain.

The terrain of Sanlihe Village is getting lower and lower from east to west, and the location of Wen Zheng's house is the highest, and those families in the west are starting to worry.

Every time it rains heavily, rainwater gathers around the houses in the west, and the doorways of the houses become shallow puddles, and there are also large and small puddles in the uneven yard.

I didn't pay attention to it at ordinary times. The snow on the roof was cleaned up by the villagers before the snow melted during the snow disaster, but the rainwater was not easy to clean up.

Those houses that have lived in for a long time have encountered the problem of sleeping naked. There are many traces of water flow on the ceiling, and some places are full of hair.

The repair materials are not easy to buy now, and if there is a problem in this one place, the rest of the place will be worrying.

Because of the rain this time, some people began to consider the house change proposed by the village chief.

But there is no hurry, the builders have not yet come.

Wheat is fine, but potatoes and corn are drought tolerant but not so flood tolerant crops.The villagers could only walk out of their homes, wearing thick raincoats, and digging drainage ditches with hoes and shovels.

However, rainy days are also good. When it rains, the air is relatively stuffy, and those normal fish that have not mutated will emerge from the water first.

Now the Sanli River has a larger flow than before, and the speed is more ferocious, and most of the fish are hidden in it.There are still those crazy fish in the water, let alone fishing in the afternoon, the hooks and baskets will be broken by the crazy fish.

It’s different when it’s raining. You don’t have a fishing rod, but you hold a long branch in your hand, and you can see the scales floating out of the water from a distance. You can distinguish the actions of these fish carefully, and you can attack normal fish. up.

The villagers in Sanlihe Village all have Wen Zheng's training, not to mention that every time they make a move, they will gain something. After working for a few hours, they can always get a few fish.

Wen Zheng's fishing place was there, and it happened to be covered by a few trees. The villagers arranged around him were Uncle Huang's family, so he took Tuantuan out.

You can't always let Tuantuan stay at home and avoid people going out.However, Tuantuan is now bigger than an adult rooster, so Wen Zheng exchanged things from the system store to cover up Tuantuan's figure.

When going out this time, Wen Zheng didn't let Tuantuan cover up his attack power. At this time, Tuantuan with strong attack power is no longer "the only one".

There is no need for Wen Zheng to do it himself, Tuantuan grabs it with his claws, not to mention ordinary fish, even crazy fish have no chance to struggle.

Seeing Tuantuan's attack power, no one could not be surprised. Third Uncle Huang and Third Aunt secretly exchanged glances.

Tuantuan's sharp claws caught a fish, and Huang Yi'an, who was watching, felt pain in his body, scared but couldn't help peeking at Tuantuan.

Tuantuan, on the other hand, likes to be noticed by others. He purposely hovers in the sky a few times, making loud and melodious calls, and then catches fish with his sharp claws, showing off his graceful figure, melodious voice, and powerful attack power.

"Tuantuan is amazing, you are my father's pride." A fish was thrown into the bucket at his feet, Wen Zheng applauded enthusiastically, Huang Yi'an was still in shock, and clapped along with Wen Zheng in a daze.

Huang Yi'an's eyes were full of envy, when would he have such a powerful bird, it didn't need to be so powerful, it was almost as good as Wen Zheng's big rooster.

After the power outage, the light in the house depended entirely on candles or firelight, and because of the rain, it was dark during the day, and it got dark very early.

The fishing activities continued until four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone went home one after another with the fish they had harvested.

Wen Zheng took the fish and went home with Tuantuan. There was still some distance from the door of the house, and Wen Zheng heard the sound of giggling and arrogant.

Tuantuan flew beside Wen Zheng, didn't remember to go back, so he honked on the spot, and the sound at home suddenly disappeared.

When Wen Zheng and Tuantuan walked into the house, there was a big rooster in the chicken coop next to it, which ran to the railing with small steps, and yelled at Wen Zheng and Tuantuan a few times.

This chicken first bullied ordinary chickens and ducks, and then competed with him for Wenzheng's attention!

Tuantuan angrily scratched at the big rooster. The big cock shrank in the corner in pain, and a few beautiful tail feathers slowly fell to the ground, wet by the rain.

"Tuantuan, let's go back to eat." Wen Xia watched this scene with a smile, and he never mentioned the big rooster in order to arouse Tuan Tuan's deeper hatred.

Wen Zheng was originally thinking about how human beings would survive if living things could not bear those violent energies. He believed that those creatures that did not go crazy for the time being had a relatively strong ability to withstand violent energies, and some of them could not bear death in the end. Yes, but there will always be fully adapted creatures.

This big rooster is a creature adapted to cranky energy.

Originally thought it was Tuantuan's coercion that caused the big cock to grow up quickly.

But later on, this rooster was much larger than his fellow shell-cracking friends. Usually, when Wen Zheng and Tuantuan were at home, this big rooster dared not act due to the power of Tuantuan. However, once Wen Zheng and Tuantuan were not at home, When I came back, I found that the big rooster was attacking other chickens and ducks.

At that time, Tuantuan was really furious. You, a rooster who can't even lay eggs, dare to attack those hens who can provide eggs for a long time in the future. This rooster cannot be kept.

It wasn't until the big rooster was dying that Wen Zheng told Tuantuan to stop, otherwise the rooster would have become their dinner that day.

I took the big rooster out to find the village head, and many people knew that Wen Zheng's rooster had mutated, but they didn't go crazy, and many people focused on their own domesticated animals.

Hearing that Zheng said that the chicken could not be killed for the time being, Tuantuan saw the big rooster cowering in a corner in fright, so he gave up fussing with it.

The rain was annoying. Wen Zheng fiddled with the radio occasionally, and could hear news from the central region, but he couldn't receive news from the south.

Not receiving news can be regarded as bad news. They are all flooded here. Wouldn't it be worse in the south.

There are several solar batteries at home that are fully charged when the sun is shining. Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan can still snuggle up on the sofa and watch TV and movies.

The torrential rain lasted for several days, and every night when I fell asleep, I could hear the sound of rainwater hitting the roof.

This day Wen Zheng woke up from the bed, the window was much brighter than the previous few days.Looking up, the plants planted on the roof had vines hanging down, covering half of the window, but even so, it could be seen that it was no longer raining outside.

When the rain stopped, the villagers were only happy. At this time, they didn't know that they would never see rain again in the next few months.

"Oh my god! How did this seedling become like this!" Someone shouted outside, Wen Zheng heard the voice of the third aunt, frowned, took out a spray and sprayed it on Tuantuan twice.

In an instant, Tuantuan's size has shrunk a lot, and he has grown up a lot since he first came to Sanlihe Village. He looks about the same size as a parrot, which is within the acceptable range of normal people.

Wen Zheng and Tuantuan went out together, and through the woods, they could see a few people standing by the field. The weather cleared up, the soil was still moist, and there were crystal dewdrops on the seedlings.

Wen Zheng, who has practiced the cultivation method, has exceptionally good eyesight. If he concentrates on looking, he can see the bitten holes on the seedlings.

The third aunt got up early to pull weeds in the field. As soon as she walked to the edge of the field, she saw that the wheat seedlings planted in the field had been bitten out by something.

"What the hell did this do?" Huang Yi'an rubbed his hair vigorously, trying to make himself clearer.

Uncle Huang raised his hands to his ears, and after feeling empty, he realized that the last cigarette at home was smoked yesterday, and there were no cigarettes stuck to his ears.He sighed, turned his head to look at Wen Zheng who had already walked over, and shouted: "Let's go to the village chief and see how we can solve it."

Walking on the road, a group of people could see the crops planted in the field, not only wheat seedlings, but also potato seedlings and corn seedlings had been eaten. It was heartbreaking to see.

On the road, many villagers met in a hurry, their faces were panic-stricken, and they quickly gathered together.

"Everyone has seen it, the field is now infested with insects." The village head said hoarsely.

What a disaster.

"Just now I went to the field to have a look. Everyone has been planting the land for many years. You should be able to tell what it is... cough cough... bugs." The village chief tried his best to cheer up, but he still couldn't hold back his cough. Twice.

"Village head? Are you okay?" Many villagers asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just have a cold, and I've already taken the medicine." The village chief waved his hand, "Now the most important thing is to get rid of insects."

"This kind of trace is that the slugs have eaten the seedlings. It has rained a lot recently, and the soil is full of water. It is most suitable for the slugs to grow up." An old man said in a deep voice.

Wen Zheng lived in the village when he was a child, so he knew something about this kind of pest. Slugs, also called slugs, look like snails without shells.

Slugs like dark and humid environments the most, can't stand strong light, and like to be active at night.This kind of animal cannot harm humans and can even be eaten, but it is very harmful to crops.

"In the past, this thing was not difficult to deal with, just use plant ash, but now..." Someone sighed, because they were worried that this kind of animal would mutate.

"Now the soil is wet, and it's useless to sprinkle plant ash directly."

This is why everyone came to find the village head. Once the slug is dehydrated, it will be finished, so sprinkle plant ash into the ground, and when it crawls out of the ground at night, it will walk on the plant ash, and it will be dehydrated soon. die.

"It will take several days to wait for the ground to dry. Looking at the current posture, these seedlings can be eaten up."

"There are not only slugs in the ground, I pulled the soil, but also a lot of tunnels dug by crickets." Another old man with a cane in his hand said.

He has a lot of experience and has seen a lot. The other villagers became anxious when they saw the gnawed vegetable leaves. He carefully observed the condition of the field, and all kinds of traces showed that more than one kind of pest was causing trouble.

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, many people felt that their eyes were blackened. Let alone the harvest, with these bugs, these crops would not be able to grow.

"Don't be so flustered. Before there was no pesticides, how did farmers catch insects and eliminate them? It was all done manually." Seeing someone crying and about to shout, the village head quickly snapped.

"Both slugs and crickets like to come out at night. Let's sleep well during the day and come out at night to catch bugs and pull weeds." Huang Mingchang said at this time.

"There is no call yet. It's too dark at night and we can't see." The person who spoke was a young woman who just married in last year, holding her husband tightly with both hands.

The village chief felt that she was too nervous to ask this silly question, and his tone was not harsh: "If you have a flashlight at home, you can use a flashlight. If you don't have a flashlight, we can use a torch. Be careful when using it."

The young woman stopped talking, and the rest of the people also had no objections. First, we cleared the weeds in the field, went to bed early in the afternoon, and reversed the schedule.

Wen Zheng went back with Tuantuan in his arms. When the villagers were all thinking about the pests, no one paid attention to them.

When there were no other villagers around, Huang Yi'an said to Wen Zheng: "Brother Wen Zheng, I have a few manual electric lamps at home, which are the hand-cranked ones. I will send one to you later."

Wen Zheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't think of the hand-cranked electric lamp at all when he prepared the supplies, but he has batteries and a rechargeable flashlight at home, so he rejected Huang Yi'an's kindness: "I have a flashlight at home, and you should arrange the light yourself Use it." Huang Yian regretted that he didn't help Wen Zheng, and went back with his family, and explained to his parents what a hand-cranked electric lamp was.

Wen Zheng was thinking about a question. After entering the house, he stared at the big rooster in the chicken coop, then lowered his head and said to Tuantuan, "How about we let the big cock do coolie work?"

Tuantuan became excited, and straightened up in Wen Zheng's arms. Hearing that Zheng had explained his plan, Tuantuan happily flew over the chicken pen, stayed on the wall, and began to train the big cock.

Tuantuan had been busy working all day, and he was so angry that he didn't even want to eat the meal. Seeing that if this situation continued, Tuantuan was about to burst into a small universe, Wen Zheng yelled quickly, and then Tuantuan flew back.

You don't need to look at Wen Zheng to know that Tuantuan is in a state of extreme anger, and he doesn't dare to laugh, but just asks how Tuantuan's work is doing.

Tuantuan was angry, and when he heard Wen Zhengwen, the whole bird froze, walking back and forth on the window sill, making a series of angry sounds.

In Wen Zheng's eyes, Tuantuan has become a roommate from the university. That roommate once went to be a tutor for a junior high school student, and he was in the same state when he came back.

Tuantuan's chirping sound and the roommate's words overlapped across time, space and species.

"How can he not understand such an easy question?"

"I'm mad! I'm mad!!!"

"He didn't listen carefully on purpose!"

"I don't want to teach anymore."

"But I've promised my father / I've talked to someone."

"Forget it, I don't want to teach anymore after teaching this student."

Wen Zheng suppressed his smile to prevent Tuantuan from venting his anger on himself, and just watched Tuantuan silently walking back and forth countless times, then changed from a manic state to a state of resignation.

With a straight expression, Wen Zheng looked at Tuantuan: "I'm going out to catch bugs tonight, let's have something fresh for dinner."

As soon as Wen Zheng finished speaking, Tuantuan showed an excited expression, flew in front of Wen Zheng, and stared at Wen Zheng with curious eyes.

"We've eaten it before, but it's been a long time since we've eaten it. Guess it first." Wen Zheng went down to the cellar as he spoke, and found a jar among the various earthen jars he bought back then.

Tuantuan curiously followed behind Wen Zheng, watching his movements while thinking hard, but didn't realize that he had been completely distracted

Wen Zheng walked into the kitchen with the jar in his arms, opened the cover with the labels on it, and picked out the contents with chopsticks.

What came out was pickled cabbage with a bright red color, which Wen Zheng bought years ago and made with cabbage as raw material.

There are many kinds of raw materials for dried plum vegetables, and the cabbage is relatively tender.Wen Zheng soaked dried plums and vegetables in warm water, and began to knead the flour with warm water.

Now Tuantuan is unwilling to obediently watch from the sidelines, and actively calls out to Wen Zheng to ask Wen Zheng to assign him tasks. He is completely a child who wants to behave in front of his parents.

"Look at the fire in the boiler, make it more vigorous." Wen Zheng thought for a while, and gave Tuantuan a somewhat difficult task.

The price of gas is relatively expensive now. The stove is used for cooking in the village. When it is not in use during the day, just put a piece of hard-to-burn dry firewood in it and put a kettle on it.

Tuantuan flew towards the boiler room, and when passing by the yard, he completely ignored the chicken coop without squinting.During get out of class, the teacher doesn't want to see the kind of students who don't know anything.

After entering the boiler room, you only need to open the boiler mouth, stuff some dry firewood inside, and then use your wings to gently fan the wind a few times, and the fire will start roaring.

After the dough was placed by the boiler to wake up for a while, Wen Zheng began to prepare the minced meat. He also made two versions of lean meat and fatty meat, and then added the minced fried dried plums and vegetables to the minced meat.

When I was in college, there were two prunes and meat pie shops in the school, and Wen Zheng often went to buy from an old couple.With his serving size, he usually eats two servings, choosing two flavors.

Looking at Wen Zheng's actions, Tuantuan suddenly remembered that he had eaten this kind of food before, and called twice to confirm with Wen Zheng.

"Yes, it's meat pie with dried plums, do you want to eat it?" Wen Zheng said with a smile.

want to eat!

Tuantuan nodded crazily, and the upturned feathers on top of his head danced in the wind with his movements.

Pinch out a few small pieces of dough and give it to Tuantuan to play freely.

Wen Zheng's hands were very strong. After wrapping the stuffing into the dough, he kneaded it into dough cakes of different shapes and thicknesses, and baked them in the boiler.

The heat in the boiler is enough, and after a few minutes, you can smell the wheat aroma from the baked bread.

Feeling that it was almost done, Wen Zheng took out the bread that had been baked into a golden brown color, and then put the raw bread in.

There are two thick round pancakes and two long thin pancakes, placed between Wen Zheng and Tuantuan.

The excited Tuan Tuan pecked at the long pancake first. The pancake was burnt and crispy, and a crisp sound could be heard when Tuantuan pecked it up, and a lot of crumbs fell on the table.The filling inside the pancake is sweet, and the perfect combination of prunes and fatty minced meat tastes extra sweet.

Then grow the round thick noodle cake, the thick noodle cake is relatively soft, and you can taste the stuffing inside when you peck it down.Minced plum dried vegetables, minced lean meat, chili powder, taste fresh, salty and spicy.

After tasting both, Tuantuan happily went back and forth to taste the two flavors of cakes, with his head buried and his tail feathers curled up.

Tuantuan is indeed the happiest bird in the world!

After cooking and eating, after dinner, it was already dark outside.

It looked clear in the morning, but it rained again in the afternoon, so we had to manually catch insects.

The air was humid after the rain, and it happened to be night again, and the pests that harmed the crops quietly poked their heads out of the ground.

Worrying about the pests, the villagers who couldn't sleep well during the day came out of their homes with lighting tools in their hands.

Wen Zheng took two flashlights, and saw that the rest of the villagers were holding different kinds of lights. There were flashlights, hand-cranked rechargeable lamps, and lanterns with candles in them. I don’t know when they were.

Everyone is responsible for the fields they own. Wen Zheng's field is not small, but his family is actually composed of him and Tuantuan.

Squatting on the ridge of the field, Wen Zheng waited quietly, and soon he could feel the movement from the ground.Lala crickets are also called mole crickets. Adults are phototaxis. When the lights are turned on at night, they can't wait to run out of the ground.When going out, Wen Zheng specially brought two deep water buckets, both mole crickets and slugs are useful, this time the mole crickets were lured out by the light, and ran up from the ground in groups and from the grass. A scene that intensive phobias dare not watch at all.

Wen Zheng was wearing gloves in his hand, he grabbed a handful of mole crickets and threw them all into the bucket.

Tuantuan has already flown into the ground to deal with those slugs that have no phototaxis.Put a bucket in it, grab it with the sharp claws and throw it into the bucket, and finish cleaning one area before cleaning the next.

Slugs are commonly called slugs. They are actually edible like snails, but you can imagine what they look like by looking at their common names.

This kind of creature will secrete a kind of mucus, and the clean ball doesn't really want to catch these little things. He wants to ask those little birds to help, but Wen Zheng has his plan.

Now Tuantuan has rekindled his fighting spirit against the stupid student who taught the big rooster.

Tomorrow, tomorrow must be church.
