I have to say that the location of Yujia'ao is really a bit bad. This village is located in the mountain depression. If it was in the war-torn era, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is indeed a rare and good place.But the more places like this, the more afraid of landslides.Once a landslide occurs, the heavy soil will go directly to Yujia'ao Village, and there is nowhere to escape.

Fortunately, in the rural areas of this era, people live in thatched huts. Thatched huts have many disadvantages, especially the roof, which is easy to leak, but there is one advantage. In case of mudslides, as long as people have a strong desire to survive, As long as you know how to stand up, you can basically escape from the roof.

Because that is a thin layer of thatch!

The final result of the landslide this time was that there were not many casualties. In the entire Yujiaao, there were no more than seven people who were confirmed dead or missing.The reason is still that the hit on the head led to the missed escape opportunity.

The Lin family and the Xing family hurriedly arranged for the stewards to settle the villagers, and there was a little friction during the period.However, these incidents were not reported.In other words, it was too late to report.

Because the flood came.

Just when the Lin family and the Xing family were helping to resettle the surviving villagers in Yujia'ao Village, a white wave came rushing in with a force of destruction!

If Xing Xiuyan on the mountain hadn't seen it and rang the gongs and drums, I'm afraid the people down the mountain wouldn't be able to react!

Because the wheat has not been harvested yet!

All the people ran up the mountain in a panic, not to mention the shoving and trampling that happened during the period. When they ran to a place they thought was safe, they looked back and saw a vast expanse of whiteness.

No fields, no houses, all gone.

Cries sounded.

Then there was a sound.

It was just a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but now, apart from these two isolated mountains, there is only boundless water left.

Putting down the gong, Xing Xiuyan lifted her skirt and ran towards her mother. She didn't want to, so she rushed into the main hall, and saw Xing's wife raised her eyebrows at her, and shouted: "No way! Don't even think about it! Shut up!"

Lin Daiyu behind Xing Xiuyan was stunned.

Xing Xiuyan said aggrievedly: "Mother~! My daughter didn't say anything!"

Xing's wife said: "I don't know you yet?! Don't you just want to go out? Let me tell you! No way! The boss and the stewards will take care of things outside! Don't even think about going out!"

Someone confessed to Cheng, Jiang Yanzhi and Jiang Wei in the room: "It's all my fault, I spoiled this child."

It's really outrageous to break into an adult's discussion.

It's okay to be in front of her normally, but now she's throwing her embarrassment outside, it's really outrageous!

Mrs. Cheng said: "Sister, the situation is urgent, and everything is under the authority. The second girl has always been successful, why don't you listen to what she has to say."

Both Jiang Yanzhi and Jiang Wei echoed:

"Yes."

"Yes."

Xing Xiuyan then said: "Mother, it's my daughter who wants to talk. My daughter and her elder sister have raised hundreds of rabbits. Right now, they are worrying that no one will help to make new rabbit cages and no one will help to go up the mountain to mow the grass."

Cheng was taken aback: "Hundreds of rabbits? I remember you only had six or seven pairs at the beginning?"

"Yes, ma'am, there are hundreds of rabbits on the mountain now. I'm thinking of killing some of the male rabbits by dividing the litter."

In February, in order to please Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiu Yandao, the following gave the two sisters a litter of wild rabbits.Lin Daiyu was fine, but Xing Xiuyan immediately remembered the fact that rabbits reproduced so fast.

She immediately paid for the live rabbit.The Orion in Yujia'ao Village and the half-grown children nearby ran up the mountain when they had free time, and someone from the village sent hares over almost every two days.Rabbits reproduce very quickly, and they can give birth to a litter in almost a month.In addition, the two sisters have never stopped buying rabbits, so it has become the current scale.

Because rabbits are mixed with poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks and pigs.Therefore, although Cheng and Xing's wife knew about it, they never expected so many.

They were still discussing whether they should kill some chickens, ducks and pigs to appease people's hearts.

Jiang Wei immediately burst into laughter: "Miao Miao Miao! So, people's hearts are settled!"

Both Jiang Wei and Jiang Yanzhi knew very well that after the flood, the land was exposed. If the temperature rises at this time, it is very likely to cause a plague of locusts!

They were negotiating with Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Xing before, whether to kill some chickens and ducks to appease people's hearts.But the reproduction of chickens and ducks is not easy. If too many are killed now, how will we deal with the plague of locusts in the future?But if the people below see that the Xing family has chickens, ducks and pigs and let them eat the grass, something will happen.

The hundreds of rabbits in the hands of Xing Xiuyan and Lin Daiyu are not timely rain!Just solved this trouble.

The stewards of the Lin family and the Xing family took action immediately. Half of them led people to protect the mistresses, girls and brothers of the two families, and the other half led people to go door-to-door to tell everyone: The Lin family and the Xing family have long been Be prepared, there are coal reserves on the mountain, food and clean water in the cave, let everyone not panic, and ask all the refugees and villagers not to get close to the water or fish corpses from the water to eat, because they will be infected with the plague .

There is no way, the snakes in the flood are either dead or the most poisonous.

At the same time, the two families also hired people with rations to help build stilted houses and make rabbit cages, and even women and children had work to do.

In fact, just as the two families were worried, it was not that there were no one among the refugees who murmured.If the Xing family and the Lin family hadn't brought out the rabbit broth in time, I'm afraid this situation would be really hard to say.

But now, looking at the sweet potato in his hand and drinking the rabbit broth, the restless refugees subsided.

Even with rabbit meat, there is not much meat, but is it meat or meat?There was a disaster outside. Although we ate sweet potatoes and drank rabbit meat soup, it was not as good as other people's food and meat, but it was much better than other places, wasn't it?

Now there is water outside, even if the water recedes, there is no food to be found outside.If you hang out with the Lin family and the Xing family, you don't have to worry about food now. After the flood recedes, you don't have to worry about the money and food from other places.

The people of Huaxia have been the most honest since ancient times. As long as they have something to eat, they will not make trouble.

This national characteristic has been fully reflected in Yujiaao.

Yu Jiaao soon got on the right track.

When I got up the next day, the flood had receded, leaving behind devastated areas. The Xing family’s house on Zhuangzi and the newly built Meng Xuetang were alright, but they were a little damaged, and they could still be used after tidying up.

But most of the common people live in thatched huts, how many of them can live in green brick and big tile houses?When the water washed away, there was nothing left.

Of course, there is one more thing that Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Xing and others are worried about: this is Gyeonggi!Where is Gyeonggi?Surrounding areas of the capital!This is often the most developed and prosperous area of ​​the feudal dynasty!If even Gyeonggi suffered a catastrophe, it would be an ominous sign!

Both the Cheng family and Xing's wife are very clear that this flood will definitely cause a large number of refugees to hit the capital.

So, will the refugees pass through Yujiaao and rob them by the way?

They are not sure, they can only try their best to prepare well.

After careful discussion, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Xing decided not to move down the mountain, but to continue to live on the mountain. If rioters attack Yujiaao, they can go into the cave and hide deep in the mountain.

Cheng and Xing's wife decided not to go down the mountain.But the land under the mountain can't be left unused. It's too late to plant wheat at this time, but sweet potatoes can still be planted, right?Sweet potatoes grow fast, even if they can't be harvested now, the leaves of sweet potatoes can be eaten, right?

Zhuangzi was busy again.

After the Lin family and the Xing family roughly determined the boundaries of their fields, they were busy hiring people to clear the fields, and then rushed to replant sweet potatoes.Although the tenants in Lijia Village were very worried about their family, they also knew very well that they had food and drink in Yujiaao, and they didn't know what to do when they went back to Lijia Village.

So, those who can stay are staying.

But there is one matter that must be settled as soon as possible.

The two Zhuangtou Wang Na and Qian Youliang stood in front of Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Xing, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan: "Madam, girl, something is wrong. There has been no one from the county."

"No one from the county?"

Cheng hasn't reacted yet.

"Yes, ma'am," Wang Na said, "according to common sense, after the flood, the county will send people to each township and village. One is to let the townships clean up the fields as soon as possible to prevent plague. Ration. Second, it is to measure the land and redefine the boundaries."

But now, three or four days have passed, and no one from the county has come, which seems a bit wrong.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Then Wang Zhuangtou thinks, what is the reason?"

Wang Na hesitated and said, "I think about it, but there is only one possibility. The county is in chaos."

Whether it was the flood that flooded the county seat, or rioters rushing into the county seat, in short, something happened, so the county couldn't send anyone.

Cheng said: "Has anyone gone to inquire about it?"

Wang Nadao: "The little one has already sent people, but it takes a whole day's journey to the county, and even if he wants to spread the news, it will be two days late."

Xing Xiuyan said: "The county seat is in the upper reaches of Qingxi. If something happens, Qingxi must be able to see the clues. Set up a sentry post and let people take turns to keep an eye on Qingxi."

"Yes, girl."

At this moment, neither Xing Xiuyan nor Lin Daiyu wanted their worries to come true.

That's not a good thing.
