supernatural peasant girl

Chapter 225
The rain continued to fall, with no intention of stopping at all.

In the first two days, the people in Yueli Village gathered together to gossip, and in the next few days, they began to wait for the interval between the rain to check their houses, for fear that it would be damaged by the rain, and then the small land would be destroyed. Also try to release water as much as possible, and surround the area at the foot of the mountain with stones.

While working, he cursed the ignorant God.

Cursing couldn't solve any problems, the rain that should have continued to fall, sometimes pouring down, sometimes pattering, but there was a fresh breath in the air, and the water from the eaves was dripping and dripping into a line.

Going down, they don't have the sense of superiority they had before, and it's gone. Everyone has some relatives. In the next village or further away, the rain is falling like this, and the rice in the rice field is soaked in water like this. , What's the use of being anxious again.

People in Yueli Village also became worried because they were worried about the price of rice or the livelihood of their relatives.

This kind of worry became more and more anxious as the rain fell more and more, because even the harvest in the little field in my village was about to lose its hold.

I heard from Mr. Wei that this rain has not been seen for many years, and the water on the river is getting higher and higher. Fortunately, the terrain in their village is higher, and other places...

In such weather, no one goes out.

Xiangru is an exception. Xiaoba is driving the carriage, and there are some food in the car, and there is a small jar, which is the salt-baked chicken wings newly made by Xiangru. The family Xiaoba has already tasted it, and sent a copy to the mountain To the boss and Wu Yingtian.

Now, she is going to the town, because she doesn't know if Zhu Dan will go, but Xiang Ru has a vague premonition, and according to his temperament of not following the crowd, it should be time to show up.

Thinking of it, she felt a little nervous, and she didn't know where this nervousness came from.

Opening the curtain, I saw that the rain was a little less, and the horse was struggling on the dirt road. Xiao Ba was wearing a coir raincoat and stood in front of the car, with one foot standing on the dirt, and let the rain drench on the side of the car. He grinned nonchalantly, holding a salt-baked chicken wing in his other hand.

Hearing Xiangru's voice behind him, he turned to talk to her, "Seventh Sister, how did you come up with such a good excuse?"

Xiang Ru looked at the rain in a daze, took a deep breath, and suppressed his restless mood.

Little Ba didn't feel bad because he didn't speak, and took two bites comfortably, "Mai Dong and Qiu Sheng, the two little ones shared a chicken wing and didn't dare to eat chicken feet. It turns out that eating chicken feet will make you write differently." Twitch, anyway, I don't care, but they will eat one less good thing in the future, Seventh Sister, remember to add more chili next time, no, big brother can't eat too spicy..."

Xiang Ru pulled back her thoughts and began to worry, "You said that the eldest brother and the doctor brought those people, would it be dangerous on the mountain? What if the rocks are loose? Naturally, those medicinal materials are also distressed, but the people are on it. Nothing can be done, nothing can compare to their safety."

Looking at the hilltop over there through the rain curtain, the look of worry became more and more obvious, "No, Xiaoba, let the elder brother come down when we come back from the town, everything on the mountain is soaked in water, maybe he even It’s not good to eat.”

Xiao Ba nodded in agreement, "I also said so, but the eldest brother said that they are on the mountain, and when the rain is light, they can clean up those places, and they can help the fallen ones, so as not to wait until they die. Just worried, the doctor also said that you can see far from the mountain, so you don’t have to worry about coming down, anyway, the houses they built above are strong enough, no different from us below, and many people in the village live on the mountain!”

Having said that, there are still a few things that should be paid attention to. After such a long rain, Xiangru is afraid that there will be some mudslides and the like.

Just looking up at the mountain, I suddenly saw a bamboo house next to the river, with a vague figure shaking above it.

Xiang Ru was puzzled, "Xiao Ba, look!"

Xiao Ba hurriedly stopped the carriage, there was indeed a faint figure on it, shaking outside, and disappeared in an instant.

Logically speaking, it is impossible. It was very lively before, especially in spring. However, before summer, there were quite a lot of people fishing for summer vacation, but it has been raining for so long, and almost all the people who should go have already left. Yes, I came here with the intention of enjoying leisure, and there is nothing else to see in the rain all day.

Xiao Ba was also a little puzzled, "Isn't that right? When I went last time, there were only two houses with people. I heard that they all came from a long way away to study, and they didn't plan to leave. The last time I went up The food can be eaten for at least ten or eight days, so there won't be so many people, right?
Xiang Ru had some impressions, "You mean those two nerds before? Haven't they left yet? Didn't uncle come down?"

There shouldn't be anyone up there in this kind of weather, and Xiangru is not that harsh person, so as long as the supply from above is guaranteed, there is no need to stick around there, not to mention that the house on the other side of the house also needs repairs.

Those two nerds, Xiang Ru didn't have a deep impression, they just lived quietly, if there was anything special, it was the time when they asked for straw paper, and the words written on it twisted and turned for a long time, and finally came such a sentence, Everyone laughed at that time. This nerd can stay under such harsh conditions for so long, and food is naturally not a problem. Then there is no way to wash water. Only bamboo slices are connected to the mountain spring.

Xiao Ba was about to urge his horse to go forward, but he saw that there was already smoke from above, and he couldn't see it from the other side of the village, but their carriage happened to stop at this intersection.

"How can there be smoke from above? Those two people are cooking on fire?" It seems impossible. People who don't work hard and can't distinguish grains can still make a fire?

Xiang Ru even wondered if that person would shake his head and say that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen.

It's not a problem to just stop on the road.

Xiao Ba thought about it there, but saw that the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and it was getting more and more wrong.

On the way, I happened to meet a villager, who greeted me with a hoe and a coir raincoat, and stood there watching, "The smoke has been rising all morning, the poor scholar can't cook, I still want to go and say something to Mrs. Jie." , and the person guarding the mountain has changed, so don’t worry about it, just turn around and ask someone to go up to help, at least he came from such a long distance, and it’s not easy to study if he’s still staying on top at this time!”

With that said, there is no reason to hesitate, "Uncle, can you help us look after the carriage, Xiaoba and I will go up and have a look, lest Niangjie has to make an extra trip, in case there is something else , and we will deal with it by the way.”

Originally, it was a village where people could not look up and look down, not to mention that the Xiangru family had brought a lot of benefits to the village, and their prestige was increasing day by day.

The man naturally agreed, "What are you doing with these polite words? If I didn't understand the messy things above, I would have gone up to see it. You can go, I will guard the carriage." . Nothing will happen if you keep it in storage!"

Xiang Ru pulled out the oil-paper umbrella from the carriage, opened it, and handed one to Xiao Ba, but Xiao Ba didn't use it, "It's so troublesome that I can't wear a coir raincoat at ease. I used to hate holding umbrellas, and what kind of wooden clogs are there? Something crooked."

Just follow him.

Xiangru was really like what he said, he stepped on the wooden clogs crookedly, and soon realized how unrealistic it is to walk the winding path while stepping on the wooden clogs. Barely able to walk.

"Okay, anyway, there are still spares in the car, so hurry up, it's still very noisy when I hear it."

The two siblings staggered and climbed up in the rain curtain.

The rain became heavier, and the clothes on her body were also a little wet. Seeing that the shoes under her feet were still wet no matter how well they were protected, she thought she might as well go barefoot. Going out on foot is also a luxury, let alone anything else.

In the previous life, once they were a group of best friends in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. They went out like this on a hot day and sneaked naked at night. The moon was just in the sky. They hid in the shadow of the bamboo forest by the river, and they were guarded by someone outside. Let the water flow slowly.

Thinking of this, Xiangru simply walked on the water, so that she didn't have that kind of intimidation, but felt a lot more comfortable. The lotus leaves were torn off and thrown aside, and the water overflowed from the shoes, with a warm and sticky feeling. She didn't think much of it either.

Instead, he kicked the water to Xiao Ba's side on the somewhat steep mountain road, and laughed loudly.

The laughter stopped quickly because she heard a cry, a loud baby cry!
Something is wrong!
Xiangru and Xiaoba both changed their faces at the same time. How could those two nerds on the mountain have the voice of a baby, and... it seemed that there was more than one of them, howling one after another, and seemed to be gagged.

The expression became a little serious, Xiaoba and Xiangru quickened their pace, and soon reached the flat land where the bamboo house was built.

The scene in front of them stunned both of them.

A woman was sitting in the muddy water, her whole body was soaked, she was holding a child in her arms, and was sobbing, and the doors of the bamboo house facing the other side were all opened except for the one on the far side, and there was a sound coming from inside the house. baby crying.

A woman who was also in a mess rushed out to support the person on the ground, "There is something to eat here—"

The woman who fell down was also crying, her whole body limp into a ball, and she didn't know how she managed to get to this place, "It's over, it's over."

The woman didn't hold her back at all, and said in a bitter voice, "It's all come to this point, what's there to be afraid of, don't you look at what you're holding!"

And one of them, who looked familiar, was holding a bamboo basket in his hand, which happened to be the stewed rice and the like, which were sent up from the bottom of the mountain before, "Old, old, old, old, young, young, young. Young..."

Seeing Xiangru and Xiaoba, they were both startled.
