Wu Xiaoxi cleaned up their own room and saw that the rain hadn't stopped, so she went to clean up the utility room at home, and found a dilapidated wheelbarrow from inside.

Qi Yougen said: "This is an old item, it was made when your grandfather was around."

Qi Yue lifted it up and took a look: "Xiuxiu can still be used. It just happens that I have been tired of making furniture recently, so it's good to play with."

Qi Yougen nodded: "Take it away, it would be a waste of space if you keep it."

Qi Yue took the wheelbarrow sheet to the corridor outside and put it there, waiting for the rain to gradually lighten in the evening and finally stop.I took the wheelbarrow to the creek to wash.

Such a day of heavy rain.The water in my heart has become a little cloudy, and it has also risen a lot.

After cleaning the wheelbarrow, Qi Yue went directly into the carpentry room through the small door, and said to the two apprentices: "You two come here and disassemble this wheelbarrow to study its general structure, and then make a new one."

"Here we come, Master."

When Qi Yue took two apprentices to study the wheelbarrow, the villagers also took advantage of the rain to stop and went to the village head's house to buy wheat seeds with cloth bags.So they also knew about Qi Yue's refusal to sell the wheat seeds to those families.

When those families heard the news, their faces turned dark, and they quarreled with the village head, Qi Zhengjie, and said they would go to Qi Yue's house to ask him for an explanation.The others looked at each other and silently moved away from them.

Qi Huixin hammered his crutches, and said in a loud voice: "Go, you go ahead, the Qi family said that they are not willing to sell you. If you have the ability, go and make a noise, and see if their family will be made willing by you. Sell ​​your wheat seed."

Those few people were stunned. Although they were not convinced, they didn't say anything about making trouble.

Qi Hui said: "The Qi family only said that their wheat seeds will not be sold to you. You can go to the villagers to buy the wheat grown by the villagers next year."

When those people get together, you push me, I touch you, and finally push out one person: "Then we will plant a year later than the villagers?"

Qi Huixin took a look at him: "Instead of entangled here for a year or two, it's better to go back and teach your wives to work hard, and don't get together and gossip."

Those men feel that they have lost face after being taught this way in public, but they dared to argue with the new village chief Qi Zhengjie but did not dare to argue with the old village chief Qi Huixin. home.

After returning home, what they say to their mother-in-law is that each family has its own way of saying it.

The heavy rain stopped for a while in the evening, and it started to crackle again after dinner.

There was lightning and thunder all night, and it was raining heavily. When I woke up the next morning, the weather was gloomy and it was raining all the time, and everywhere was wet.

The heavy rain lasted for three days before stopping slightly. At this time, the Qingwu River had already flooded the rocky beach in front of the Qi family's old house, and the water was rushing to the east.

As a result, this was not counted. The sky became low and dark again in the afternoon, and it was gray and might rain again at any time.

When Qi Yougen came back from the field, his legs were covered with muddy water. He washed it with water from a nearby tank: "The water in the field has risen so much that many seedlings have fallen."

Liu Fang handed over the cloth towel: "This day is about to fall. I'm afraid it won't help if I get it."

Qi Yougen looked at the sky: "It rains a lot every summer, it will be fine after this period of time. I will go to the fields a few more times these days."

A young grandson ran to the door: "Little grandpa, my grandpa asked you to come to my house."

"Understood." Qi Yougen responded first, and then said to Liu Fang: "I'll go and see the boss."

Liu Fang hurriedly handed over an oil-paper umbrella: "Take this, and be careful that it will rain later."

Qi Yougen took it and smiled: "Forgot about this."

When Qi Yougen came out of his house, he met Qi Youwang who was also carrying an umbrella, and the two arrived at Qi Younian's house together.

Qi Younian sat under the eaves, calling them over: "You just came back from the fields?"

Qi Youwang nodded: "I just went to the river bank to see, the water level has risen a lot."

Qi Younian nodded: "I just went to see the third uncle, and he said that based on his experience, the rain might fall again. Our house is on a low terrain, so we have to plan ahead."

Qi Yougen said: "Is it so serious? Then try to move things to the old house before it rains."

"Let's send some daily necessities there first." Qi Youwang's face was a little ugly: "Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, bedding brazier, if there is a real flood, we must take precautions against it."

Qi Younian said: "There is no need to worry too much about our village being upstream, but Yitai County is lower than our village, and it is still at the confluence of two rivers. If there is really a flood, the first one will be flooded." It is the county town, and the shops in the county town are the key."

Although because of the Dragon Boat Festival, no one in the shop need worry about avoiding the flood, but if the goods in the shop are flooded, it will be a big loss.

Qi Youwang has already thought of this point: "I have already asked Quancheng to go to the county seat."

The current of the river is fast, so it is not suitable for boating at this time, but Qi Quancheng has martial arts skills, he is the best candidate to go to the county seat, it is possible to be careful and go down the river, but it is a bit difficult to go back.

Qi Younian said: "The third child is not at home, Blacksmith Peng has to ask someone to ask."

The brothers usually don't get involved in the matter between Qi Youzhuang and Peng Tiejiang, but if something happens, they should take care of it.

Then he looked at Qi Yougen again and said: "Let Xiao Yue make some wooden boats for emergencies."

"it is good."

After receiving the news from Qi Yougen, Qi Yue put down the wheelbarrow he had studied halfway, and started making wooden boats with his two apprentices.

Others also started to pack their things and move to the old house. After the rain, the muddy floor was slippery, and several places were washed out of the ditches.

A group of people arrived at the old house. It rained heavily and the private school did not start classes. The students did not come. Ling Jianbai and others went back to Yitai County for the holidays and never came back. Now they are not in the old house. The old house is empty, but because people have been living here, it has been restored a long time ago. vitality.

The old house is on the top of the mountain, and the river cannot be flooded, and the mudslides cannot be crushed. Although there are not many houses, living together in daily life will be crowded, but it is indeed the best place to spend the rainy season and avoid floods.

The Qi family prepared for the worst, but in fact everything did not go well, and it rained heavily that night.

Qi Quancheng also couldn't come back that day, and the county seat had nothing to do with it now, but fortunately, Sun Hongyun and Ling Jianbai both had support in the county seat.

The rain fell intermittently, and the village head, Qi Zhengjie, was also going around to tell people who lived in lower places and those who lived at the bottom of the mountain to move up the mountain.

Tian Tang and Tian Yuxing's family was the first family in the village whose threshold was touched by the river. They had no relatives in the village. Qi Yue asked the two of them to move to the old house with them after obtaining the family's consent.

It was also after Tian's house was flooded that Qi Younian and the three brothers no longer had any luck and finally packed up the things in the new house and put them as high as possible, and then the whole family moved to live in the old house.

There is always a fire in the old house, which is used to make ginger tea and bake clothes. It is easy to get sick in rainy days, not to mention how many women and children live in the old house.

The drizzle hit his face like silk, and it was the best time to go out. Qi Younian walked out of the courtyard with an oiled paper umbrella. Qi Youwang was already standing in the open space with his umbrella open. Walk over and stand beside him: "Still worried about Quancheng?"

"A little bit," Qi Youwang said, standing on the edge and looking at the rice fields in front of the river, only to force the flood at the foot of the mountain. do not know where.

If he had known earlier, he would not have been allowed to go to the county seat. It would be nothing if he lost some goods, as long as he was safe and sound.

Qi Younian comforted him and said: "There is a highland very close to the southwest of the county seat, Quancheng might be there, and he has also been a businessman outside for a few years before, so he should be able to pay for all these situations. "

Qi Youwang nodded: "I know, it's just that as a parent, it's inevitable that you will worry about your children." It's human nature.

He looked at the flood again and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to harvest rice this year."

Qi Younian nodded, with a serious expression on his face: "Upstream, we only suffer disasters for crops, but for downstream, people and things are bound to be a catastrophe."

What Qi Younian said was absolutely correct. In Yaoyao County, downstream of the confluence of Qingwu River and Nanshi River, the river burst its embankment, bringing disaster to the residents on the embankment.

Yaoyao County is under the jurisdiction of Feng'an County. When Tang Taishou knew that a flood might occur, he sent people to evacuate the villagers. As a result, the river broke its embankment before the villagers had time to move out.

Tang Taishou originally heard that the river embankment burst, and he was very glad that he had the foresight to send people to Yaoyao County early, but when he heard that none of the villagers had moved away, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.

But when the situation was urgent, it was not the time to question the crime. The prefect Tang put those things aside, sent people to rescue them with all their strength, and wrote a note and handed it to the capital to explain the situation.

This remark caused an uproar in the court. As for who to send to control the water, the first prince and the second prince were arguing endlessly over this matter. In the end, the eldest prince and the second prince went to Yaoyao County to control the water.

When they arrived in Yaoyao County, most of the survivors in Yaoyao County had been rescued by Tang prefects and sent to other places for resettlement, and the whole Yaoyao County had already turned into a vast ocean.

The first thing the two princes did after they arrived was to question the Tang prefect, trying to take Feng'an County into their own hands.But no one cared about the dead bodies of animals and people floating everywhere on the water.

And after they came, the sky began to clear up, the water level began to drop, and they would retreat to a safe position in a short time. The two princes were very proud of this, and began to lead people to patrol the river embankment, preparing to rebuild the embankment, but they all ignored it. Hazards after floods.
