Chapter 104 Rescue Rice
In this kind of bad weather, ordinary people really can't travel. Even if they hold a torch, they can't see the road under their feet. They can only see the fire reflected from the water.

Qiu Jingming couldn't walk alone. Tangning walked in front and stretched out her hand to him, and said calmly, "I'll take you along. Wherever I step, you step on it. Don't step on the wrong foot, or you'll fall off the ridge."

"Okay!" Qiu Jingming grabbed Tangning's hand very naturally, feeling the warmth and strength of the other's palm, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Tang Ning, who was leading the way, didn't think much of it at all. When he pulled Qiu Jingming to the paddy field, he let go of it very naturally, pointed to the bamboo ladder, and said, "It's flooded, my father must have blocked the entrance and exit, we I can only go in from here, I will climb first and pick you up there."

Qiu Jingming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why do I feel that I'm so weak, and a majestic seven-foot man needs to be protected by a girl like you!"

"What's the matter! I have good eyesight! It has nothing to do with men or women, hurry up!" Tangning quickly climbed up the bamboo ladder.

Qiu Jingming hurriedly helped her stabilize the ladder. Seeing Tangning's vigorous skill, she was once again amazed.

The movement of the two climbing over the wall did not disturb Tang Junsheng and his son. When they got closer, they realized that the father and son were almost exhausted.

Tangning and Qiu Jingming walked over with torches, "Take a break, we're here to help!"

"Why are you here?" Tang Junsheng asked pantingly after being replaced.

While stepping on the waterwheel, Tang Ning replied, "The weather is not right. Mother is very worried. Originally, she wanted to come with me, but I stopped her. Brother Qiu said that I would come with me to help, so that mother can rest assured. Some, this is the meal my sister-in-law prepared for you, where is Da Zhuang? Why didn’t you see him?”

Tangning was very sure that Lu Dazhuang was not here.

Tang Zheng said vaguely while eating: "I'm going to help the second uncle. The second uncle is alone, and there is no padding field, and no waterwheel. Fortunately, there was a simple padding of soil before, but it was not enough. By the way, little girl, you have good eyesight, can you see how high the water is now?"

Tangning nodded slightly, "Brother Qiu and I came here together, the water was up to our ankles. If it goes down again, it will probably reach our knees tomorrow. We didn't seem to see any other villagers on the way here. Every house was quiet!"

In the dark night, Tang Junsheng looked at those hilltops, and pondered: "I guess they all hid in the mountains, and I don't know if the foundation of our house is strong enough!"

Tang Junsheng was worried.

Qiu Jingming comforted: "Uncle Tang, don't worry, I've seen that foundation too, it must be solid, as long as the water doesn't completely submerge it, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Father, didn't you check the information before? Unless the water hits a new high this year, our family will be fine!" Tangning's voice was very calm.

When Tang Junsheng and his son heard this, their hearts were half relieved.

The rain was still falling and there was no tendency to stop. Tang Junsheng saw that Tang Ning and Qiu Jingming were able to persevere, so he decided to go with Tang Zheng to help Tang Laoer and Wei Dazhi.

The two of them didn't have Tangning's night vision ability. Even holding the torches, they still fell down a few times and were in a mess.

Although Tang Laoer didn't build a fence, he piled up a lot of wooden planks just in case, when Tang's father and son passed by, Tang Laoer and Lu Dazhuang were busy fixing wooden planks, and they were very busy.

The father and son of the Tang family also hurriedly joined in. After a whole night of tossing, the rain didn't stop until it was almost dawn. Tang Lao Er finally managed to keep the rice. No, there is water all around!
Tang Zheng tried to step out of the boundary, and the water flowed directly over his calf, and the water mixed with yellow mud was so muddy that they couldn't see the way clearly, and they couldn't get out!

This discovery made everyone panic. At this moment, Tangning and Qiu Jingming came over from a distance on a bamboo raft and asked, "Father, do you want to go home or stay in the field? I'll ferry you over when I get home. I want to continue Stay here and I'll bring you food!"

A group of men looked up at the sky, neither walking nor not leaving.

"Forget it, I'll bring you meals directly!" Tangning decisively turned around.

Tang Zheng hurriedly asked: "How is your sister-in-law?"

"It's okay, the terrain is high, there's no obstacle at all, but many people's homes have flooded and are swearing over there." Tangning's voice gradually faded away, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"Second brother, it's not an option for you to go on like this. It's better to surround it. Ah Zheng and I will rush for a few days to get the drainage truck out. Otherwise, if there is another heavy rain, who knows if these planks can hold up!" Tang Junsheng looked at the paddy field and suggested.

This time Tang Laoer did not refuse.

After a heavy rain, the sun came out again, and Wei Dazhi and the others rushed over to help. Although the water hadn’t receded, the villagers all went home. After seeing the miserable conditions in the fields, many people lay in the puddles and cried. .

There was a lot of commotion, and the village chief and the county government sent people to check the situation. There must have been some damage, but it was still within the controllable range.

While the master and the chief were relieved, they finally began to face up to the Tang family's flood control measures.

It happened that Tang Junsheng and his son were building a drainage truck in Tang Laoer's field, and the head of the village accompanied the master to have a look, not knowing why, "What is this?"

An abrupt voice sounded behind the two of them.

The father and son were taken aback and turned around abruptly. They panicked when they saw a group of people appearing in the field. Tang Junsheng subconsciously replied, "Drain truck."

"Drainage truck?" The master's eyes lit up, and he smiled gently: "I am the master of Anhong County, and my surname is Chen. Can you tell me about the function of this drainage truck?"

When Tang Junsheng and his son heard that the other party was the master, they all became nervous. Tang Junsheng rubbed his hands a little awkwardly, pointed to the fields surrounded by walls next door, and said, "My lord, our drainage truck has not been completed yet. If you want to You can go inside and see, the water inside was drained by drainage trucks on the day of the heavy rain.”

The master and the head of the village immediately raised their feet and walked over there.

Tang Junsheng led them through the main entrance, and only after entering the gate did they realize that the crops inside were growing well. Because of the timely drainage, the rice here was not affected in any way. The rice ears were full and tall in the sun, which was gratifying no matter how they looked.

This time even the head of the Buddha-nature became curious. He walked around the field carefully, nodded in satisfaction with his hands behind his back, and then noticed the big guy, "Is this the drainage truck you mentioned?"

Tang Junsheng hurriedly took Tang Zheng to explain the principle and function of the drainage truck and how it works. Because there was no water, he couldn't practice it, so he could only say: "When we assembled it, we specially made these rice paddies. Slope, the drainage truck is at the lowest place, when the water is submerged to half the height of the mouth of the bamboo tube, you can step on these two pedals, and push the accumulated water out through the bamboo tube. It works, and multiple people can step on it at the same time.

We have a small family, so the first time we drain the water, we do it in groups of two. If there are many people, five of us can do it together, so that the water will drain faster. "
