Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 282 Chapter 284

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, watching them carry hoes and walk towards the north and south walls separately.

Yaohu looked at her worriedly, "Xiaoqing, tell Hua what medicine you want to take, and ask her to get it for you to cook for you."

Yao Xiaoqing was most afraid of drinking herbal medicine in her past and present life, she shook her head with a smile, "Father, I'm really much better, I'll just drink more hot water."

Yaohu had no choice but to nod, "Okay, Ah Mu has cooked porridge, you can have a bowl."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, took the hot porridge and drank it.

Seeing that she could drink porridge, Yaohu was relieved.

Mufeng and the others went out through the small gate, and saw that the water in the ditch had overflowed into the field, and was flowing down the gutter.

The sugarcane that fell in the sugarcane field was lifted up by someone, and tied with wooden sticks.

Going forward, I found that there was no water in the taro fields, but the kudzu and yam fields were full of water. Alin and Agen were digging drainage ditches with hoes.

Muba stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Uncle Gen, Uncle Shui, when did you escape?"

"Hey!" A Genhan said with a smile, "We couldn't sleep because we were worried that the animals in the pen would come out to have a look."

The rain was so loud that a few people talked by roaring.

Mu Feng snatched the hoes from the two of them, "Look, you're all drenched, hurry back and drink a bowl of ginger tea."

Seeing this, the two had no choice but to nod, "Okay, the drainage ditch here has been dug, but the yam field has not been dug yet."

Mu Feng replied loudly: "Understood, you go back and be careful."

"Okay." The two walked back leaning on their hoes.

After they dredged the drainage ditch in the yam field, they went to the orchard, and saw that the few fruits on the trees were blown off by the strong wind, and some trees had not even a single fruit left.

He looked at the fruits on the ground and sighed again and again, "I thought there would be fruits to eat this year."

"It will be fine next year!" Muba thought for a while, "There is still one side of the fence that has not been built yet. Be careful with these taro, yam and kudzu roots, so that they don't get stolen."

Mu Feng nodded, "When the weather clears, we'll come over and dig them all back."

Jiang Li took Heiba ​​and Leopard to the millet valley in the south, and saw that the water in the ditch was about to overflow into the millet valley.

Going south along the ditch, when we got to the kiln, we saw white smoke constantly coming out of the kiln mouth.

The water in the pond rushed out, and then flowed down the ditch to the river.

Heiba ​​said loudly, "There are still bricks in the kiln?"

Leopard raised his voice, "The kiln was closed yesterday morning, and the rain is so heavy, so there is no need to carry the kiln water."

Da Liang felt a little strange, "Why didn't the kiln collapse?"

Jiang Li thought for a while, "The kiln chamber is full of bricks and tiles, so it won't easily collapse."

Leopard thought of Yaoshan, "The tribe that lived in the cave..."

Jiang Li said: "Just look at the cave where the food is stored. Fortunately, there are earthquakes during the day, and everyone is busy harvesting beans and millet during this season. As long as they are not in the cave, there should be no casualties."

He was worried that if the rain continued, those people's food would be buried in the cave, and it would be troublesome.

Leopard sighed, "Yes! Fortunately, the earthquake occurred during the day, otherwise..."

Xiong Niu laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? You see, not one of our houses collapsed, but only two upstairs sheds collapsed."

Leopard nodded, "That's what you said."

The bull was holding a hoe, "Let's go to the river to see where the water has risen."

Heiba ​​smiled and said, "It would be great if the rain stopped, let's go to the river to catch fish."

Xiong Niu thought about the last time he caught fish in the big water, "There are also a lot of fish washed out of the pond at the foot of the mountain. Let's go back and catch the fish."

"Okay, go back and go fishing."

Everyone walked down the ditch, and after walking for nearly half an hour, they arrived at the bushes. They found that the water had already reached the bushes.

It was also found that goats, wild boars, roe deer and a big yellow ox were washed down by the water stuck in the bushes.

Heiba ​​said: "Brothers, they must have rushed down this morning, let's go and pull them up."

"Let's go and have a look first, we can only get fresh ones." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Everyone carried hoes and went down into the water. When they slowly approached the drowned goats, wild boars, roe deer, and cattle, the water had already covered their chests.

Jiang Li grabbed the goat and cut it with a knife, seeing blood oozing out, "It's still fresh, it hasn't been long since it died."

Several people dragged the wild animal to a place upstream that was not submerged by water, and then went back to help drag the big yellow ox.It took a lot of effort to drag it up.

Mu Feng and the others finished checking the north side, dredged it up and came back to see that Jiang Li and the others hadn't come back yet, so they came out to check.I saw more than a dozen people walking over dripping with a big yellow ox.

She stared at the scalper, "Where did you get it?"

The male bull looked proud, and said out of breath: "I picked it up in the river, there are wild boars and goats by the ditch, go and get them back."

She laughed happily, "Okay! Let's have a barbecue today."

Everyone carried the wild animal to the cafeteria and happily went to the training ground, and told them the news of the wild animal.

Mu Feng said cheerfully, "Xiaoqing, let's have a barbecue."

Yao Xiaoqing said with a hoarse voice, "I have a sore throat, and you still have to eat barbecue, it's too bad."

Mu Feng smiled proudly: "Hey! Watch us eat later!"

Yaohu slapped him, "Stinky boy, your younger sister is not feeling well, and you are still laughing."

Mu Feng covered his head, looked at Yao Hu's sad face, "Father..."

"Brother, who told you to eat alone!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at him gloatingly.

Mu Feng flattered him and said, "When you're well, brother came back from hunting a goat in the mountains, and I'll give you a kebab."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, don't forget."

Yaohu smiled and said: "He dares to forget, I will deal with him."

Everyone followed to the cafeteria, and hurriedly tore apart the bones and skins of the wild animals.Yun'am led the people to stew a pot of stewed radish with beef bones, and marinated the meat for barbecue.

Yao Xiaoqing was leaning on a chair with a bowl of radish soup, watching them laughing and eating barbecue.It wasn't until it was almost dark that the rain gradually subsided.

After dark, Yao Xiaoqing asked everyone to stay in the wooden shed for one night. Seeing that there was no movement, they moved back to the house when the rain stopped early the next morning.

The rain stopped for half an hour, and then it started again.

Yao Xiaoqing came out after taking the medicine, stood under the eaves of the porch, looked at the sky above her head, and saw dark clouds.

She said to Yaohu: "Father, I don't know when it will rain? We have to pick all the ripe pumpkins and put them away."

Yaohu nodded, "Okay, get the food back first. You rest at home, and I'll take someone to pick pumpkins."

All the people in the tribe were dispatched to pick up all the ripe pumpkins in the field in the rain, dry them and store them.

Most of the returned beans were still not dried in the sun, and the heavy rain continued, and the beans on the roof were about to germinate.

As soon as the rain stops, the men are busy digging taro and soil melon.Yao Xiaoqing led people to peel the beans, spread them on the kang bed and burn them to dry the beans.
