Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11125

Zhengjia Village, reservoir.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang went straight to the reservoir upstream.

Compared with Zhengjia Village, this reservoir is located higher.

Zhengjia Village is backed by a mountain and the reservoir is at the foot of the mountain. The water area of ​​the reservoir is actually not very large. After all, it is a reservoir at the foot of the mountain, not a lake in the plains.

However, this reservoir is very deep, so deep that you can't see the bottom. Ever since people began to appear at the foot of Mianniu Mountain, no one has ever seen the reservoir dry up.

In other words, this reservoir has never dried up. Even in years of severe drought, when the riverbed and pond dams are dry and the mud is as lumpy as fish scales, the water level in the reservoir always remains at a certain level. Even if you use a five or six meter long bamboo pole to probe the bottom of the reservoir, you still cannot reach the bottom.

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang also came to the reservoir.

There were crowds of people gathered around the reservoir to see what was happening. There were men, women, young and old, adults and children, and even their dogs were brought along.

However, unlike humans who were curious about the reservoir, the dogs also came but stood far away and did not dare to come forward.

There were even many dogs barking towards the reservoir from a long distance.

But because of the noise and drizzling rain, the barking of the dogs was soon drowned out by the noise.

Seeing so many people gathered here to watch the excitement, some villagers who thought they were brave enough even climbed up to the dam at the edge of the reservoir and looked down, pointing and talking at the surging water in the reservoir...

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other and both frowned at the same time.

"We can't go on like this. We have to evacuate the villagers first," said Yang Ruoqing.

Luo Fengtang nodded, "I'll go get the village heads and elders from a few villages."

Soon, Yang Huazhong, the head of Zhengjia Village, and the elders of the two villages came over, and Yang Ruoqing told them the situation.

Without going into too much detail, he just told them: "Evacuate the villagers quickly. No more people are allowed to gather around the reservoir to watch the excitement. Don't go to the waterside today or tomorrow. Try to pack up your valuables and run to the mountains!"

Luo Fengtang added, "Don't run in this direction. Taoist Yuan told everyone to run over there."

Luo Fengtang pointed to the other side of the mountain.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, somewhat surprised.

"Why do we have to go there instead of going there? Can't we go to the mountain behind?" An elder in the village was puzzled.

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "Listen to Taoist Yuan and don't run around."

Several headmen and village elders nodded and hurried to give instructions to the villagers in their respective villages.

Most of the villagers were obedient. After hearing the instructions, they quickly ran back home to pack up.

However, some villagers did not take it seriously and had no fear of the flood at all. They procrastinated and stayed near the reservoir, not going home to pack up their things.

Yang Ruoqing is too lazy to pay attention to these people. There are always idiots who want to pay the IQ tax.

In Zhengjia Village.

Many smart people packed up their things and fled with their families in the direction of the mountain that Taoist Yuan pointed out.

Some people ignored him and went up the hillside behind the village.

"Why do we have to run so far? Not to mention that the water will flow into the river below when it floods. Even if it really comes to our village, we can just go to the hillside behind the village. What's there to be afraid of?"

In this way, the villagers of Zhengjia Village were divided into two groups. One group obeyed and went to the farther western hills for refuge, while the other group went up the back hill according to their own ideas.

The same is true for the villagers in the nearby Yujia Village and Hejia Village.

When this news reached Changping Village, the villagers had four options.

In addition to the above two escape plans, Changping Village has a third plan, which is to escape towards the town. Some people are convinced that the village will not be flooded, saying that there is no precedent for flooding in the first month of the lunar year, and it must be a false alarm...

Sun family.

"What should we do? We have more than 40 pigs in our farm, big and small. Where should we drive them to?"

"Let's head towards town?"

"If a flood really comes, it's no use rushing towards the town, the water will chase us!"

"Why don't we head to the western hilltop? Taoist Yuan told us to go there."

"No need to drive the pigs to the western hilltop. Go to the pasture on the east side. The terrain there is higher. People from Lijia Village and Changping Village can all be sent to the pasture." Yang Ruoqing came over and told everyone the news.

"Let's go to the pasture, walk, walk, and clean up quickly!"

Facts have proved that a flood that may break out at any time is like a test stone that can immediately test the villagers' execution and judgment capabilities.

In Yang Ruoqing's eyes, this should also be a screening.

The Luo family did not move away because their land was high, and the backyard of their house was even higher than the front yard.

Not only that, the Luo family has a rockery, on which there is not only a pavilion, but also a house for leisure and rest.

The house is not big, but it has three rooms and a study. If the few small houses on the rockery of the Luo family can be flooded, then the entire village will be like a vast ocean, and the roofs of every household will probably sink to the bottom of the water.

That kind of scene is almost impossible to happen. After all, all the water sources that could cause harm here are in the reservoir next to Zhengjia Village.

Even if the reservoir is turned upside down, the water will still gather in the low-lying areas.

The Luo family will not move, but the Sun family, the third branch, and the old Yang family house will all move.

Everyone was packing up, mainly money, bedding and cotton clothes.

I can’t bring other things with me, so I can only hope for a miracle to happen.

While they were actively making preparations here, on the other side, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang found Taoist Yuan again. After a careful discussion, Taoist Yuan finally decided to solve the current hidden danger first.

  As for the future... let’s think about it later!

He handed something in a wooden box to Yang Ruoqing without saying anything.

Yang Ruoqing didn't ask anything. She took the thing and left the Taoist temple with Luo Fengtang.

Whether we can resolve this flood depends on whether this thing works!

The drizzle continued until the evening. Suddenly, the sky began to cloud up again, and it became increasingly dark with lightning and thunder.

"Most of the villagers have moved away, and only a few are still staying in the village."

On the way to Zhengjia Village Reservoir, Yang Ruoqing met several village elders.

"Well, everything that needs to be conveyed has been conveyed. There's nothing you can do if you don't want to listen!"

"How's the reservoir up there?"

"As long as there is lightning and thunder, there will be chaos in the reservoir!"

"Let's go and take a look!"

On the way to the reservoir, Yang Ruoqing and her companions ran into villagers running over from above. They were panicking and looked pale: "Oh no! Someone has been swept under by something in the reservoir!"

Something in the reservoir?

Everyone's face changed. When they arrived at the reservoir as quickly as possible, the scene before them shocked them!
