silent farm

Chapter 28 The world after the rain

Here Li Sheng saw that they just paused for a while and then walked in the direction indicated by him, and he was more than half relieved.Without the influence of heavy rain, the two workers will be able to return to the station soon.

But he hadn't found the last one yet.He expands the search area to a large extent.Finally found this worker walking alone in the rainstorm.

There are still two kilometers away from Station No. [-].And according to his current direction, it is very likely that he will miss the station.He still showed him the way in the same way.

A few minutes later, Zhang Feng's voice sounded on the intercom: "Boss, good news boss. Two workers who lost contact have returned to the station."

He walked over and answered a few words.The last one is also walking towards Station No. 10 following his guidance.His face was already a little pale.It is a very heavy burden for him to condense this energy wave for a long time, and his headache is about to explode.Fortunately, at most [-] minutes, the last worker will be able to find the station.

Thomas noticed that his face was not very good, thought he was worried about the safety of the workers, and said, "Lee, I think you need to take a break now. I think God will protect them."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Yes. I think God will bless them. Two of the workers who lost contact have returned to the station safely."

"That's good news." Thomas smiled, but didn't really laugh.Because there is another worker who does not know where it is now.

After a while, Li Sheng finally completely relaxed, went back to the house and made a pot of hot tea and said, "Let's have a cup of tea together. This is the first time I have encountered such a heavy rain."

"This kind of heavy rain is not common in the Amazon."

At this time, Zhang Feng's excited voice came from the walkie-talkie again: "Boss, everyone is safe. The last worker who lost contact has also returned safely."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "That's good. Let them pay attention to their bodies."

And outside the window, there was a burst of light.Less than three seconds later, the deafening thunder made the windows tremble uncontrollably.I didn't know that the big tree nearby was unlucky.The pastures have been cleared, but some worthless trees or small patches of woods are left alone.These trees are like lightning rods in this weather.

………………

A rare heavy rain fell for almost three days.This rain has had a great impact on farms and pastures.

Not only the farm, but also the village of Olihimina is in trouble.

When the rain finally stopped, Li Sheng and Babur drove the car and left deep ruts on the grassland. The heavy rain soaked the soil of the grassland into mud.

They arrived at the airport, and soon the plane flew into the sky against the beautiful rainbow ring around the sun.

When they flew into the sky, they found that the whole ranch was a bit unrecognizable.

The river surface, which was originally no more than 300 meters on both sides, is more than seven or eight kilometers wide, which is very conspicuous in the sun.

They flew to the east of the river and found that the river had overflowed its embankment and several kilometers of grassland had been flooded.On the other side, Oliximina is also completely surrounded by the turbid river, and the villages that were originally on the bank have become some floating rafts floating in the center.Depending on the situation, the water depth there is at least two meters.

Fortunately, their houses are all floating row.

The village of Olihimina is deep in the jungle, so of course it knows how to deal with the rainy season.But the heavy rain was beyond everyone's expectations.The heavy rain accompanied by strong winds smashed some floating rafts in this village.In the sky he saw villagers waving to their planes.

Babur said to Li Sheng: "It seems that they are in trouble."

Li Sheng knows that life in the jungle is not easy.But for the aborigines, if they are not really in trouble, they don't need to ask for help.

Babur flew around the village and said, "Many of their boats seem to be missing. Maybe the strong wind blows their boats away. Some floating rafts are also damaged."

Boats are a necessary tool for the survival of these villagers.Without boats, they couldn't fish.

Li Sheng picked up the walkie-talkie: "Anthony. Call Anthony."

"Anthony is listening. Lee, please."

"The village of Oliximina is in trouble. You take someone to sail to see if there is anything you can do to help them."

"Ok!"

Li Sheng found that the pier of the farm was completely submerged, and the only reassuring thing was that the boats moored on it were still there.It's just that those boats are floating alone on the water. I don't know if they will be left directly on the shore after the flood recedes.If that was the case, there would be no major problem with a few speedboats, but it would take a lot of effort for that two-hundred-ton ship to get back on the water.

When Anthony brought people over, they stopped circling here and continued to fly along the edge of the farm.

They turned a corner and flew north along the river bank.It was found that the flooding of the river was inevitable, and the question now was when this flood would end.

And Li Sheng also discovered some potential dangers to the ranch workers.Part of the prairie was submerged, and some "driftwood" appeared near the water.

Babur reminded him: "There are crocodiles around the farm, and the workers must pay attention. They are likely to attack the cattle on land, and even the workers. The workers must pay attention to whether there are crocodiles left on the grass."

The cattle below are not far from the water's edge, and the workers have already started to work, collecting the cattle, and perhaps counting the number.

I just don't know how many cattle will be lost in this heavy rain.

But how much Li Sheng lost is not very concerned for the time being.He was more concerned that there were crocodiles in the river, and they had probably been here for a while.In that kind of heavy rain, the water on the grassland is also about ten centimeters.The crocodile's action on it will save much effort than crawling on dry land. It is inevitable that there will be no crocodile crawling across the grassland to attack those calves.Now that the rain has stopped, they might just stay in the pasture.For example, they may be hiding in those lakes.

He had to defend.

After patrolling along the east coast, their plane turned to the west.It's pretty much the same here.And over there, the woodland that was not thought to be flooded has been flooded again.Li Sheng saw the black crocodile lying on the grassland above the water basking in the sun.The water here even submerged more than 20 kilometers of land.

Li Sheng also saw the width of the Amazon River. The width of the largest river in the world may be forty to fifty kilometers.This width can even be called the sea.

Babur has lived here for several years and knows much more about the rainy season here than Li Sheng: "The rainy season has just begun. The flood will continue for a long time."

The flood he was talking about is actually the high water season of the Amazon River, not that the river will always be so high.

But he added: "Maybe it will continue to rain at night. The water level will be higher."

When they were still flying, Anthony was calling Li Sheng, his voice was a little low: "Li, the villagers here are in big trouble. The floating raft of one family was washed away by the flood, and the boats of six villagers were washed away. The floating rafts of the three households were damaged to varying degrees. Most of the villagers faced the plight of lack of food."

Babur also heard Anthony's words clearly.He explained: "During the flood period, the villagers' fishing will be greatly affected, and they will not have enough boats. If they don't have enough food now, maybe they will have a hungry rainy season."

Aboriginal boats were usually sampan-class boats, and possibly even canoes.The remaining boats may not catch enough fish to feed the entire village.In particular, the villagers of Orishimina have no fishing nets.

Of course, the words of Anthony and Barbur are a bit exaggerated.For the indigenous people in the jungle, there is no shortage of food during the rainy season.It's just that getting food is more dangerous.

In the flooded rainforest, there are a lot of fish.These fish are easy to catch.

However, Li Sheng also felt that he should give some support to those villagers.So he replied to Anthony and said: "If the safety of the villagers is threatened, you can take them to the farm for resettlement first. If there is any surplus food, you can distribute some to them."

"Understood, Lee. You're a good man!"

Li Sheng smiled.friendzoned?He doesn't care what women give, let alone men.

The plane circled the farm, and the flooding was really bad.The oxbow lake and the Amazon River are completely connected and can no longer be seen.If it weren't for the trees on the shore of the lake to indicate the location, the location of this lake might not be found in the sky.

The situation on the farm was not very good, and he was not in the mood to watch the might of the world's largest river, but flew back to the airport immediately.He has a lot to deal with.

After getting off the plane, he and Babur hurried to the management area.This is the ranch management center, and Babur and the others usually work here.
