Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 136 A blessing in disguise
Liu Hehua was fine, and at the same time she grabbed a long bamboo pole and climbed up to the shore along it.

But Liu Huagen shouted anxiously: "Qingsong, Qingsong, where are you? Don't scare me!"

"Qingsong..." Liu Huasheng was so anxious that tears came out.

Wang Yaoqing even took off his straw raincoat and bamboo hat and wanted to jump into the flood to find Liu Qingsong.

But Liu Dazhuang stopped him crying, "Don't be impulsive! The flood is so fierce and it's late at night. If you jump into the water, you will probably lose your life."

"That's better than you standing on the shore and watching." Wang Yaoqing pushed Liu Dazhuang away and was about to jump into the flood, but the next second Liu Qingsong popped his head out of the flood more than ten meters away.

The straw hat on his head had not fallen off yet, and the straw raincoat and cowhide backpack were still on Liu Qingsong's back.

This made Wang Yaoqing very excited: "Qingsong, Qingsong...are you okay?"

Liu Huagen, Liu Huasheng and Liu Dazhuang also looked at Liu Qingsong.

"It's okay! I'm fine." Liu Qingsong hugged a piece of driftwood and shouted, "Don't worry about me. Just wait for me at the bank of Diaozi River downstream. I will climb ashore by myself."

The reason why we have to go ashore in Diaozi River.

That’s because the floods around us are so severe now.

Even with the straw raincoat and hat made of cow grass to keep him "floating", he still didn't have enough confidence to climb ashore.

Wang Yaoqing noticed this and said immediately, "Okay, okay, we'll go to the bank of Diaozi River and wait for you."

As he spoke, Wang Yaoqing took Liu Huagen and Liu Huasheng and ran towards the defense line of Diaozi River.

Liu Dazhuang did not follow, after all, he had his elderly father to take care of.

But after he helped his old father to a safe place, he picked up a stick on the ground and hit Liu Hehua hard: "Why don't you just die, you damn girl! You almost lost your life for a dog, and almost implicated the team leader. Is there shit in your head?"

Liu Hehua curled up on the ground with her head in her hands and didn't cry.

She didn't cry even when Liu Dazhuang beat her.

After all, she knew it.

I got into big trouble today.

……

In the flood.

Liu Qingsong was still floating aimlessly holding the driftwood.

He saw that he was not floating towards Diaozi River, but towards Dayu River in the city, and he immediately became anxious.

I was just trying to find a way to swim towards Diaozi River.

A wave came.

He and the driftwood were directly swept into the water.

The water was turbid and there were many floating objects. Liu Qingsong thought he was going to be choked, but he was stunned the next second. He didn't care about the floating wood, nor did he try to swim to the surface.

The reason for this is that he suddenly discovered it.

He can 'breathe' in water.

No, to be precise, you don’t need to hold your breath in water. It applies to everything in water, just like a fish in water without worrying about suffocating.

This feeling is mysterious.

Just like birds are born to fly in the blue sky.

"How...how could this happen?" After Liu Qingsong came to his senses, he quickly surfaced from the water just in case.

Floods are still raging around.

But Liu Qingsong was in the flood but nothing happened to him. It seemed as if there was an invisible force supporting him and preventing him from sinking.

Liu Qingsong knew that this was definitely not because of the bulletproof raincoat and the bamboo hat.

Although they are waterproof and fireproof, they are far from enough to enable him to float in the water, let alone be able to adapt to anything in the water.

But now he happened to be in this situation.

The only explanation.

Then it can only be some other reason.

"But what could be the reason?" While Liu Qingsong was secretly guessing, he hurriedly swam towards Diaozi River.

Swimming and swimming.

Liu Qingsong's eyes suddenly lit up.

In addition to the ice crystal Bodhi fruit he had eaten recently in the garbage dump of all worlds, he also had the rock-fragrant demon pork and the octopus from the unknown sea.

This octopus is the same as the razor clam.

Eating it will give humans a certain chance of gaining the ability to swim.

At the time he had laughed at the uselessness of this ability, but now it seemed he was very wrong.

This swimming ability is not useless at all, but a heaven-defying ability.

To put it bluntly, as long as he uses it well, he can come and go freely in the water.

From now on, if you want to eat fish, you probably can catch it without using a net in the water.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingsong became excited, and realized that this time he had turned a disaster into a blessing and discovered an extraordinary ability.

Of course, all this is thanks to the golden finger of the Garbage Dump of All Worlds.

Otherwise, I would have died in the flood this time.

Diaozi River is right in front of us.

Liu Qingsong stopped thinking about it and swam over faster.

After getting ashore, Liu Huasheng, Liu Huagen and Wang Yaoqing rushed over.

When they saw that Liu Qingsong was safe and sound, with the hat on his head and the raincoat on his shoulders still intact, they were extremely happy. Liu Huagen even hugged Liu Qingsong and then led the way towards Wild Boar Ridge.

……

The heavy rain is still continuing.

After Liu Qingsong returned, he took off his straw raincoat and bamboo hat, then carried his cowhide backpack back to his bedroom to change into clean clothes.

After changing.

Liu Qingsong checked the things in the cowhide backpack.

Seeing that the electric baton and the universal translator were soaked by the rain, he immediately ran to the garbage dump of all worlds and dried them.

After drying.

Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the electric baton and universal translator were still usable.

But he did not sleep in the glass chamber tonight, but left quickly.

There was no way. It was raining heavily outside. If he didn't go to check the drainage ditch behind the house, if it was blocked, the house would be flooded.

However, what Liu Qingsong did not expect was.

This just came out of the garbage dump of the universe.

I haven't picked up the hoe yet.

Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei ran back in the heavy rain.

The pillow in Xiao Nuomi's hand was soaked by rain.

"What's going on with you?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Don't mention it. Pangdun's house was flooded. If my aunt and I hadn't run fast, we would have been washed away by the flood." Little Nuomi wiped the rain off her face with her little hands, and replied in a baby voice.

"What?" Liu Qingsong was shocked. "Are the little rascal, his mother, Grandpa Tao, and Fatty all right?"

"It's okay. The little rascal has been picked up by brother Xiaowu." After the youngest sister replied, she ran to the bedroom to change clothes.

Little Nuomi followed behind with his short legs.

Liu Qingsong hesitated for a moment.

He put on a straw hat and raincoat and ran to Pangdun's house.

After finding out that their house was only flooded and nothing else was affected, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned home, taking a hoe to clean up the debris in the ditch.

……

At dawn.

The heavy rain finally stopped.

But the entire Huaishu production team became a vast ocean, and the Diaozi River was connected to the farmland and could no longer be seen.

Liu Qingsong was afraid that the fourth and fifth children would encounter danger on their way to school, so he told them not to go to school and stay at home.

And he did it after making breakfast.

So he went to find Wang Yaoqing.

Understand the disaster situation within the team.

Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only the mud brick houses of Liu Dazhuang and four other villagers were washed down by the flood and there were no other casualties.

But he didn't go back to rest.

Instead, he took Wang Yaoqing to check the situation from house to house.

Liu Qingsong personally visited the homes of elderly widows and widowers, as well as those of extremely poor villagers.

Only after he found that everyone was safe did he say goodbye to Wang Yaoqing and go home.

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and unexpectedly, thick smoke came out of the kitchen chimney.

Liu Qingsong thought that it was his eldest sister and second sister who came back, so he hurried to the kitchen.

What Liu Qingsong didn't expect was that his eldest and second sisters were not in the kitchen. Only the fourth, fifth and youngest sisters were washing rice and cooking.

Little Nuomi was also adding firewood to the stove.

The little boy was chewing on a fried dough twist in his hand.

Seeing Liu Qingsong coming back, he immediately stepped forward with his short legs and said, "Uncle, why did you come back just now? I'm... I'm so hungry!"

"I'm hungry too, Third Brother!" Youngest Sister also said listlessly. "Alas! Even if you're hungry, you have to wait for food!" Liu Qingsong smiled bitterly, rolled up his sleeves and tied an apron, then took the kitchen knife from Old Fifth and started cutting wild boar meat.

The so-called meeting is not difficult for those who can, but it is difficult for those who cannot.

A sumptuous lunch was quickly prepared under Liu Qingsong's care.

Just as they were about to take the food to the main hall to eat, Little Nuomi ran to Fatty's house: "Uncle, uncle... I'm going to see if Little Naughty is back. I told her yesterday that we can eat the meat uncle made together."

"Then slow down!" Liu Qingsong warned.

"Yeah, I know." Little Nuomi ran away.

But when I came back.

The whole person looked dejected and unhappy.

This made Liu Qingsong, who was eating, couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"

~"That fat mother said that the little naughty boy will never come back, and even...even his clothes were taken away." Little Nuomi replied with a pout.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong was stunned, but didn't think much about it. Instead, he picked up Xiao Nuomi and sat at the eight-immortals table to eat lunch.

……

Dayu City.

Inside the agency compound.

Bai Yuzhen brought four or five dishes to the table one after another.

Seeing that the little rascal was still hiding in the room and getting angry, Lian whispered to Tao Guoqing, who was reading a newspaper on the sofa beside him, "Dad, why don't you go and persuade the little rascal?"

"What can I advise her to do? Advise her not to play with Xiao Nuomi anymore, and not to fight like a boy?" Tao Guoqing took off his reading glasses, his eyes filled with helplessness. "I know you are doing this for Xiao Taoqi's own good, and want him to return to the city to receive a formal education, but don't you know..."

"Dad!" Bai Yuzhen interrupted Tao Guoqing sadly, "Isn't Xiao Taoqi's illness cured now? She can eat two bowls of rice at Xiao Nuomi's uncle's house, and she can even beat and make elementary school students several years older cry. Why do you still want Xiao Nuomi to stay in the Huaishu production team? Do you want her to be almost drowned by the flood like last night?"

"I...I..." Tao Guoqing couldn't answer.

After all, the daughter-in-law's original intention was also for the good of the little rascal.

It would not be a good idea to stay in Huaishu Production Brigade like a wild child all my life.

Seeing that Bai Yuzhen's eyes were red and she was silent, Tao Guoqing had no choice but to sigh and get up to call Xiao Taoqi to eat.

The little rascal is actually quite well behaved.

She hated to see her grandfather unhappy.

So even though I felt very aggrieved, I finally came to the dining table and had lunch.

For lunch, they had tofu, cabbage fried with vegetable oil, and braised pork.

Logically speaking, it would be strange if the little rascal would not be picky about food after eating such delicious food in the seven or eight years.

But strangely, the little rascal showed a painful expression after taking a bite of the cabbage.

After swallowing the braised pork that Bai Yuzhen picked up, he began to dry heave. Then he couldn't help but vomit out all the breakfast he had eaten in the morning.

"What's wrong with you, little rascal?" Bai Yuzhen became anxious when she saw this scene.

Tao Guoqing was also very worried: "Little rascal, tell grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know either. I just feel like vomiting after eating the food my mother cooks, and my chest also hurts." After answering Tao Guoqing's question, the little naughty's face began to turn pale, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This made Tao Guoqing know.

I'm afraid that little Naughty's congenital heart disease has recurred.

After pushing away the anxious Bai Yuzhen, he ran out with Xiao Taoqi in his arms: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu...Hurry up and prepare the car, let's go to the Huaishu production team."

Xiao Wu was still taking a nap at this time.

After seeing Tao Guoqing's anxious look and Xiao Taoqi's pale face, he quickly got up, put on his shoes, and ran to the gate of the government compound as fast as he could.

……

As the heavy rain stopped.

The flood gradually receded.

Liu Qingsong, who had nothing to do, picked up a wooden bucket and went to the bank of Diaozi River to catch fish at the request of his youngest sister and Xiao Nuomi.

This time, the fourth and fifth sons also went along.

We also caught a lot of crucian carp and grass carp.

There is no doubt that these fish escaped from the pond.

Liu Qingsong saw that the wooden barrel was almost full, and was about to call Lao Si, Lao Wu, Xiao Nuomi, and Yao Mei to go home, but Xiao Wu's voice came from the winding mountain road: "Qingsong, Qingsong... Come back quickly."

"What's wrong?" Liu Qingsong asked loudly.

"Come back quickly, the naughty boy is back to his old habit again." Xiao Wu replied.

"Ah?" Liu Qingsong stood in the farmland.

The naughty boy's old habit has come back again. Why should he be asked to go back?

But Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei didn't care about all that. When they heard that Xiao Taoqi had returned, they cheered and ran towards the door of the house.

Liu Qingsong had no choice but to follow behind carrying a wooden bucket of fish.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Liu Qingsong found that Tao Guoqing and Bai Yuzhen had also come.

Bai Yuzhen also cried and her eyes were swollen.

"That..." Liu Qingsong didn't know what to say when he saw this.

"My little rascal hasn't had lunch yet. Can you make him some?" Bai Yuzhen didn't waste any words and directly explained her purpose.

"What is she doing..." Liu Qingsong looked at the weak little rascal in Tao Guoqing's arms and swallowed the words back.

"After she went back home, she vomited after eating the food her mother cooked, and then she died." Tao Guoqing choked up and replied, "For the sake of an old man like me, please make her some fried fish! And that radish stew, she won't vomit after eating it."

"Oh, I see!" Liu Qingsong didn't say any more words, turned around and ran into the kitchen to get busy.

She used to think that after the little rascal ate the Yanxiangmo pork, his congenital heart disease would get better, after all, he could eat, sleep and fight in his house.

But now this situation seems to be completely different.

At least for now, eating the Rock Fragrance Demon pork and absorbing the super-ripening fertilizer of the tree elves for the pomelo, navel orange, white radish, red radish, and cabbage has not completely changed the condition of the little rascal.

This is not a good thing for him.

Also a little sad.

Because no matter what.

I have been with the little rascal for so many days.

He has long regarded the little rascal as his own sister.

If anything happened to his sister, he would never feel at peace for the rest of his life.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Liu Qingsong collected his thoughts.

I started to cook the radish chop and fried fish seriously.

Half an hour later, it's cooked.

Then it was brought to Tao Guoqing at the gate.

The little rascal in Tao Guoqing's arms had fallen asleep at this time.

When it smelled the aroma of the fried fish, it woke up immediately, broke free from Tao Guoqing's hands, moved a small stool and sat in front of the fried fish and radish slices in the porcelain bowl.

"Here, eat it while it's hot." Liu Qingsong handed the bowl and chopsticks to the little prankster.

"Thank you, brother." Little Prank replied happily, and then called Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, and Pangdun to sit around the porcelain basin and started eating with big mouthfuls.

this time.

She didn't vomit again.

Instead, he ate it with gusto.

The pale little face quickly regained its color.

What does this prove? It proves that there is something in the mixed radish that can instantly cure the little rascal's condition. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a symptom.

Bai Yuzhen was delighted to see that her little rascal was full of energy again.

That was crying with joy covering one's face.

Tao Guoqing also breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Wu, don't watch over it anymore. Go back and bring Xiao Taoqi some clothes to change into. I plan to live with her in the Huaishu Production Team in the future."

After this incident.

He knew that Xiao Taoqi could not leave Liu Qingsong's home in the Huaishu Production Team, so for the sake of Xiao Taoqi's life and to avoid having to see his child die before him, he had no choice but to make this choice.

"Okay! Okay!" Xiao Wu hurriedly ran to do as he was told.

Bai Yuzhen didn't say anything this time.

Instead, he said to Liu Qingsong with guilt: "I was wrong about what happened today. I took Little Naughty back home when I saw that Pangdun's house was flooded. I didn't think about you at all. I...I..."

When she said this, Bai Yuzhen burst into tears and couldn't control herself.

The reason for this is obviously because of too much guilt.

Liu Qingsong saw through it, and he comforted her: "Auntie, don't cry. If you haven't had lunch yet, sit down and have something with Xiao Taoqi and the others!"

"I don't have much else at home, but these radishes are quite a lot."

"Okay! Okay!" Bai Yuzhen nodded repeatedly.

Then he sat next to Xiao Taoqi with Tao Guoqing and ate radish chopsticks with him.

Liu Qingsong was about to clean up the kitchen when Liu Lijuan, who was covered in mud and water, came back tiredly with her bag on her back: "Qingsong, do we have any food left? If so, bring me a big bowl. I'm starving."
