Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 82 The River

Seeing Wang Zhongqiu's displeased expression, Wang Xiaofan in front immediately reminded: "The place where your two hands were holding on just now is the place where the black leopard peed, you should go and wash it immediately."

When Wang Zhongqiu heard this, he hurriedly found a place with water to wash his hands. After washing his hands, he came over and looked at the black panther wagging its tail even more uncomfortable.But he can't do anything to this dog, although he is an old acquaintance with it, but this dog will never let him get close, only Zhang Tao's family can.

The three of them, a cow and a dog, soon reached the river. Both Zhang Tao and Wang Xiaofan jumped off the cow. Wang Xiaofan even wrapped the ox's rein around the horns, and let him go to the river to graze.Then the three of them found a few wild taro trees from the river bank, pulled the taro out with sticks, and dug a hole.

They burned some dry straw and put it on the bottom, threw the taro they dug on it, and burned some straw on it, and the three of them ignored it, and went to the side to lift the straw pile.The black panther has long been alone, pawing among the piles of straw from time to time, and barking a few times from time to time.

Zhang Tao and the others set up the straw piles to kill mice. In winter, voles will burrow into the straw piles to make their nests, because it is warm inside.And because there is a lot of wasteland by the river, there are more voles here than in the rice fields, and the piles of straw here are more attractive to mice, so you can basically see mice every time you lift a pile of straw.

There are several kinds of mice here, some are big fat field mice, some are very small mice that can't grow up, and there is a special kind.It should probably be a mutant mouse. It is not big, and the number is very rare. The hair all over the body is golden yellow.Those children call this kind of mouse a golden mouse, and whoever can catch such a mouse will feel more proud than eating meat.

But this kind of mouse is the most likely to die, too timid.Children always want to catch this kind of mouse back to raise and play, so that they can show off in front of their playmates.But this kind of mouse usually can't survive the night after being caught back, and if it is not killed by playing with it, it will scare itself to death.For the children in the country, if the mouse dies, it will die, and it will be fine to continue to catch the mouse the next day, but it is just a little disappointing for a while.

Seeing that someone was lifting the straw here, the black panther stopped pulling it by himself, and immediately ran to Zhang Tao's side to join the battle group, and together they besieged the mice in the straw pile, and the mice they chased ran around.The three hurriedly stepped on those mice, or knocked them directly with sticks, basically one at a time, while the black panther chased a big vole to play by himself.

The three of them had a great time playing, and they were all sweating profusely after a while.Zhang Tao is quite emotional now, he hasn't come here to fight mice for many years.Now recalling the childhood of my previous life, it seems that I can still vividly remember. There are always some memories in life that will not be forgotten so easily, although they are all trivial things.

"I'm fucked! Come and help me, a mouse got in through my trousers." While Zhang Tao was in a daze for a while, Wang Zhongqiu next to him immediately yelled, jumping there from time to time, trying to get the mouse out. The rat that reached his trousers fell down.

The mouse in his trousers didn't look small, and it was a bulging lump inside.But it was not so easy to be shaken off, the more Wang Zhongqiu jumped, the mouse desperately burrowed into Wang Zhongqiu's thigh, and it was about to get into an important part.

"It's in that layer of pants?" Zhang Tao felt a little funny when he saw this scene. It seems that this guy didn't choose the right day to play today. He has been teased all the time. He was teased by the black panther before, and now even the mouse has joined in.But he still asked aloud, at this time, most children will wear long johns.

"On top of the long johns." Wang Zhongqiu was a little anxious now, for fear that the mouse would get into his crotch, and he jumped more and more excitedly.The panther on the side also seemed to have seen the mouse in this guy's pants, and kept circling around Wang Zhongqiu, as if thinking about where to force the mouse out. "Hurry up and think of a way, it will be troublesome when you get into the crotch."

Wang Zhongqiu became more and more anxious when he saw the appearance of the black panther.Seeing this guy like this, Zhang Tao said with a smile: "You are stupid, just take off the outer pants, you are wearing a pair of long johns inside, and you don't need to let your ass be naked, let alone the surrounding area There's no one there either."

Wang Zhongqiu seemed to remember it suddenly, and immediately took off his pants in a hurry. The mouse wanted to jump on him.Wang Zhongqiu didn't know that he had the courage to slap it directly on the ground, and then the black panther rushed over and gave the guy a bite, and the mouse was only half-breathed immediately.

Generally, if you beat a mouse, you can't let the mouse get close, for fear of being bitten by the mouse.Rats also carry rabies. Although the children in the country don't know what rabies is, they won't be easily bitten by rats.That's why Wang Zhongqiu panicked when he saw a mouse get into his trousers, but luckily he didn't get bitten.

After experiencing such an incident, the three of them didn't bother to beat the mice anymore, so they found a clean place to sit down and rest, and the taro over there was almost finished roasting.Peel the outer skin and eat it, one bite at a time, very fragrant.The three of them were already a little hungry after playing, basically one bite at a time, and they ate very quickly.

The black panther wagged its tail to see how delicious the three of them were eating, and wanted to eat some, so it kept shaking in front of Zhang Tao, staring at the taro in Zhang Tao's hand.Zhang Tao thought for a while, as if a dog could eat these, he peeled one and threw it to it.The panther immediately opened its mouth and bit it, then lay down on the ground and ate it.

After the three of them finished eating, there was a cloud of black dust on their mouths, they looked at each other and laughed, and walked towards the river together.At this time, there is not much water in the big river, but it is very clear.Zhang Tao and Wang Xiaofan didn't pay much attention and jumped off the bank directly.

Wang Zhongqiu, who was behind, saw that the river bank was a bit high, so he hesitated.It's just that the river bank has never been repaired, and it looks like it collapsed when it was washed by the river. It collapsed after being supported by a little fat man, and Wang Zhongqiu was brought directly from the top to the bottom. "Damn it! These brigade cadres are swaying, and the river embankment doesn't even repair the railings."

Wang Xiaofan next to "Puchi" laughed out loud when he heard the complaints of Wang Zhongqiu who fell down. Wang Zhongqiu just slid down with the sand and there was nothing wrong with him except his clothes were dirty.His words were actually not very funny, but they had a history, so Wang Xiaofan couldn't help laughing after hearing it, and Zhang Tao was also laughing.

In Zhang Tao's brigade, there is a person who likes to drink very much.He often gets drunk, sleeps everywhere when drunk, and even curses at people.One day the man came home drunk and fell into the stream beside the road in the village.

He didn't come up anymore, so he stood in the creek and cursed: "The cadres of this brigade are playing tricks, and they don't even repair a single railing on the side of the road."

The people around all laughed out of joy after hearing this, and the words spread nearby.Repair railings on the roads in the countryside?It is impossible to even lay cement and sand on the road, and I want to repair the railings, which is too much to think about.Everyone else just took it as a joke, and no one thought about it too much.

But Zhang Tao is different. He came from later generations. If you want to be rich, build roads first. Even children in later generations will know the slogan. The roads of their brigade really need to be repaired. The development of the entire Huangpu Village needs a decent road. Otherwise, they will fall far behind others.

But what is more important now is the river embankment in front of him. In [-], there was a catastrophic flood in the whole south, but nothing happened to Zhang Tao's village.The floods on their side broke out ahead of time. It happened in the autumn of [-], when Zhang Tao was just in the third year of junior high school, so he was very impressed.

It rained for three whole days, several upstream reservoirs burst, and even the entire village was directly submerged by the collapse of two mountains, and the large reservoir in their village also released floods beyond the warning line, and all the water went to The big river in the village converges, how can the embankments on both sides that have not been repaired for a long time stop the torrential flood.

At that time, some very old people around were frightened. This was the only time they encountered this once in their lifetime, and it never happened in their memory.This is the real flood that hasn't occurred in nearly 200 years, not the fictional flood that experts have seen cities flooded because of insufficient drainage.

The dikes and dams on both sides of the river were already festering, but after such an encounter, they were all washed away.All the paddy fields on both banks were flooded, and many villages near the river were washed away.At that time, the school teacher saw that the situation was not right, and urgently evacuated the students, leaving school early.

Not long after Zhang Tao and the others returned home from school, all three bridges of the brigade were washed away, and the water spread directly to both sides. Various furniture, cattle, pigs, chickens and ducks floated on the muddy river from time to time.

An old man downstream saw a beautiful coffin floating above him, and was tempted to fish it for a moment. Although he was good at water, he and the coffin were washed away by the water, not even a corpse was left.

Zhang Tao's school directly flooded the second floor because of its relatively low location.However, the pigs raised by the teachers in the canteen contracted by the school miraculously survived the flood. When the flood came, those pigs learned how to climb trees.There are many trees in the school, and people don't care about them anymore. When the water flooded the pigsty, all these pigs crawled on the surrounding big trees, and there were not a few pigs left in the end.

But it is the people on both sides of the strait who are really suffering. The grain harvested in the summer has just been handed over to the public grain, and there are not many grains left.The rice planted in autumn is just at the time of earing. After being washed away by the flood, every family only harvested a little, and the rest were empty husks.When the rescue from above came after the flood, the villagers below had only one catty of rice per mouthful, that is, each person.
