Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"Oh, it's so heartbreaking to think that our brand new house, which we built and which was flooded before we even lived in it for a year, is so beautiful... My heart is beating like a ton!"

Liu covered her chest with her hands. Although her distressed expression was a bit exaggerated, it was also full of genuine feelings.

"Fourth Aunt, you have to think about it this way. The things in the house are not as important as people." Xiaohua at the side comforted Liu.

"Our third room was also flooded badly. The tables and chairs in the main room were all soaked in water. I'm afraid that even if the water recedes, the furniture will be unusable because they will be infested with termites."

Farmers are very worried about termites infesting their furniture.

Termites have a very strong ability to gnaw and reproduce. If you find signs of termites gnawing on a piece of furniture in your home, it is a serious matter. Don't expect to save the furniture from the termites' mouths.

You have to throw the furniture away quickly, or burn it directly, and then sprinkle lime powder and stove ash on the place where the furniture has been placed, and use a series of methods to eliminate the smell of termites. Otherwise, as long as one falls, it may reproduce and continue to attack other furniture in the house.

"Oh my God, if the tables and chairs in your third room are infested with termites, then those in our fourth room will not be able to escape either!" said Liu.

"When your third house was building the house, you chose the better materials to prevent termites. Our fourth house is not as rich as your third house, so we only use ordinary wood. It's over. All of it will become food for termites. Oh, it's suffering. That damn black snake has brought disaster to the village and cost the people money and labor. Why didn't God take it away? Why didn't the Dragon Slaying Sword chop off its head with one stroke? What's the point of keeping it?"

Liu sat there sighing. When she mentioned the big black snake that was the culprit of the flood, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.

"Sister, was it really the two snakes that caused the flood? We didn't go out to see that day, but we heard from those brave people who went to the river to see that there really were big snakes in the river, following the water downstream." Xiaoduo brought a small stool and sat in front of Yang Ruoqing. It seemed that all she needed was some melon seeds.

Yang Ruoqing knew that this matter could not be concealed because too many people saw it, so she told the situation truthfully, as well as the matter of the Dragon-Slaying Sword and its follow-up.

Yang Ruoqing came from the front line, which meant she was a witness to the whole process. Moreover, she and Luo Fengtang went to the Taoist temple together, got the Dragon Slaying Sword from Taoist Yuan, and the great general Luo Fengtang hung it under the bridge himself.

Luo Fengtang was in charge. He was the great general who protected the country. Thousands of souls had died in his hands. The Dragon-Slaying Sword, which he had hung with his own hands, could unleash more power, so he successfully blocked the giant black snake.

"Sister, it's not a good thing for the black snake to hide in the reservoir. Who knows when it will come out again?" Xiaoduo asked again.

Liu nodded repeatedly with a look of horror on her face: "We have to find a way to get rid of this great scourge!"

"How do we get rid of it?" Yang Ruoqing asked, "Who dares to go into the water and kill it?"

Liu thought for a moment and said, "It definitely can't be put into the water. If it is put into the water, it will be like putting dumplings directly into its mouth."

"My idea is, let's buy arsenic and rat poison and dump them into the reservoir to poison that guy to death. If nothing else, the water will flood our houses and fields!"

Yang Ruoqing was amused. "For a reservoir that deep, it would take tens of thousands of kilograms of arsenic, right? Where can we get so much arsenic? How much would it cost?"

With just one sentence, Liu was rendered speechless.

  Because this is simply impossible!

"If poisoning doesn't work, then let's ask a master like Taoist Yuan to perform a ritual to kill the black snake." Liu's ideas were endless, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Just think about it, Taoist Yuan can even take out something as powerful as the Dragon Slaying Sword, which shows that Taoist Yuan must have even more powerful abilities. Treating a vicious snake is no small matter!"

"Qing'er, the Taoist temple is yours, and Taoist Yuan also eats the food you give him. Go and tell him, he won't dare to disobey!"

Xiaohua heard Liu's last words and corrected her: "Fourth Aunt, you can't say that. It's offensive to Taoist Yuan."

"Besides, although the Taoist temple is my sister's, it is different from other restaurants. It is a place to serve gods and protect the people. Taoist Yuan is a master who has attained the Tao. He was invited by my sister. My sister and Taoist Yuan have a relationship of mutual respect!" Xiaoduo agreed with Xiaohua's words, "Hua'er is right, Fourth Aunt, you are a little murderous now, please restrain yourself, haha..."

As for Yang Ruoqing, she felt relieved to see her two younger sisters speaking up for her.

In fact, they were right. There was indeed a relationship of mutual respect between herself and Taoist Yuan.

"Fourth Aunt, don't worry about the big snake. Every living creature has its own destiny."

But there is one thing Yang Ruoqing understands, that is, since the black snake has done something that has caused the wrath of heaven and man, it will not be easy for it to escape, and it must be responsible for its own actions.

There was a commotion outside, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps and men talking.

The people in the small room stopped talking, stood up, went to the door and looked towards the grassland.

Then I saw that the people in the transport team had already selected the members who would be involved in the village's drainage and post-disaster reconstruction. They were striding towards the pasture gate while enthusiastically discussing the drainage issue.

Luo Fengtang was also in the team. When he passed by here, he gave instructions to the captain of the transport team and turned to come to Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er, the manpower has been selected. In addition to our own people, we have recruited 40 strong men in the village."

"Go to the village and start working now. You will have two meals a day. You can plan the cooking later."

Yang Ruoqing nodded and saw the mighty team marching out in a high-spirited manner. She thought that although humans are like ants in the face of natural disasters, the power of mankind is immeasurable.

Everlasting, tenacious, persistent, and united.

"Don't worry, just lead the people to take care of the village affairs, and leave the planning of cooking for everyone to me!"

"Well, don't tire yourself out."

When Luo Fengtang said this, he habitually wanted to raise his arm to touch Yang Ruoqing's head. As soon as he raised his arm, he realized that Liu, Xiaohua, Xiaoduo followed Yang Ruoqing...

Luo Fengtang lowered his hands, turned and left.

"Ha, we ran into my brother-in-law. He feels a little embarrassed!" Xiaoduo covered her mouth and giggled.

Xiaohua pinched her lightly.

Xiaoduo pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the sisters and said, "You two naughty kids."

Liu came over and patted Yang Ruoqing's arm: "Qing'er, what did Tang Yazi tell you just now? Cooking? You want someone to cook?"

Liu patted her chest loudly: "Don't look for me anymore, come to me, I'm ready!" (End of this chapter)
