Chapter 33: One Shouting Wave Steps Aside

And as many people went home to get the rope and a kind of madder juice that could dye the rope red, many old people in the village also came to the dam when they heard the news.

It happened that Mrs. Xu wanted to discuss matters with these older people:

"Fourth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, and all the old and young masters, you came at the right time, and the situation is like this.

Now the boys also decided to go down to the river to have a look.

It would be better if there are no holes under the embankment, I would rather be scolded and messed up by everyone.

But if there is, do you have any good ideas to fill it with?It is best to be able to swell when exposed to water, or just use stones to block the hole, it has gaps. "

This matter must be asked.

Because in modern times, soybeans are used to fill it. After soaking in water, the soybeans will swell and can completely block the opening of the tube.

But here, let everyone throw soybeans into the river?That is to kill everyone.

Fourth Uncle and Seventh Uncle were questioned out of the blue, and they couldn't remember why they slapped their heads for a while, and they really didn't know.

It was a 70-year-old man in the village who suddenly said: "Go to the field to collect Lei Gong's excrement. The stuff will swell when it is soaked in water, and it will be able to block holes when mixed with mud and stones. The back wall of our house has been blocked, and it will not leak when it rains outside. .”

The old man who spoke did not come to work on the dam on weekdays.

Because Liu Laozhu thought that he had lived too long, and killed his wife and children. No one had lived him, and the only person left in the family was old, so why do he still work?

But today Mrs. Xu sent someone to deliver a bowl of bone soup to the old man. He heard that Mei Zhuang gave it to him, so he thought about coming to the dam to see Mei Zhuang.I didn't figure out why the bone broth was divided, so I came with a walking stick and a newly made small basket under my armpit, thinking that I couldn't eat the younger generation for nothing.If there is any happy event, just use a small basket with a gift.

Fortunately, he came, after the old man reminded him, many older people immediately echoed: "Yes, that thing is fine, it is covered with stones and bugs, it swells when it meets the water, you can use it to try it." try."

Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that no matter how good something is, it must be as good as stuffing it with soybeans.

But in ancient times, this condition is the most useful thing at present.

Mrs. Xu immediately summoned the women who were looking at each other.

To be honest, the old lady Fang team has been in a daze, what are you going to do?

Don't worry about what you are doing, pick up the soil basket, and each person will go to the field to dig two baskets of Lei Gong's shit.

"The last few who came back..."

At this time, silence is better than sound, just like the neck rope.

Mrs. Xu took out the charcoal pencil and some papers stolen from Liu Laozhu with a swipe.

Her family doesn't have this thing, so it must be blackmailed.

And at the moment Mrs. Xu took out the pen and paper from the side of the gown, the one-eared old lady rushed out with a basket of dirt.

Absolutely don't leave anything to say to that stinky bitch.

The one-eared old lady swore that she would try to be the first to dig back two baskets.

The other women also reacted immediately: Emma, ​​Tian Xinnai, don't draw first, we will run now.

Seeing the backs of the women rushing towards the ground like they were on hot wheels, Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and gave a sneaky laugh.

It's time, let you fight with me before.

Later, Mrs. Xu really wrote and remembered, but only the family members in the live broadcast room could see clearly what she wrote. It said: Who contributed how much rope, who contributed Also contributed madder juice.

As for why madder juice is needed, because she remembers a saying in modern flood control formulas: Mark the dangerous parts.

One is to use red to mark where there are loopholes on the shore.In case the boys finally emerged from the river but forgot where it was.

The second is that after a while, the boys will tie ropes on the waist of the river. No matter how deep they go down, they need to dye the ropes red first. The ropes cannot be lowered when they reach a meter. .

At this time, Mrs. Xu began to greet the main women's army again.

To be on the safe side, she planned to let a group of ten pull the rope on the shore later.

Turning around, he saw Mei Zhuang: "Mei Zhuang's group of five is enough, what about your man?"

"He also wants to go down the river. He said he is good at swimming." I don't know if it is true or not.

Mrs. Xu said to the Women's Army: "We must hold on, and we must not relax even if our hands bleed. Then there are men like you below. Answer me loudly, can you do it?"

"can!"

The uniform voice startled the men who were warming up and preparing to jump into the river.

But?Mei Zhuang motioned Mrs. Xu to look under the dam, as if they were no longer needed.

In the distance, there were ten or eight at first, and then groups of villagers suddenly came out.

Old Zhaitou was standing at the crossroads trembling and beating the gong non-stop: "All are all..." Come out!

It's not about one family, it's about the whole village, isn't it?
More and more people are coming towards the dam.

Those who lead the way at the front are the elders such as the fourth uncle and the seventh uncle. They left just now to go back and ask someone to go.

They were dressed in rags, and some of them were so old that they had to rely on crutches to walk.

Many of them carried buckets, quilts and firewood on their backs, intending to heat hot water on the spot after going to the dam, so that the boys who will go ashore later can have a hot towel to wipe their hair and keep them warm.

It can be seen that each household put down all their work, did not go to the cellar, did not pickle vegetables, did not weave baskets, and did not pick up firewood piles, nor did anyone calculate that each household must send one person.

This scene will make the family members in the studio say:

Grandma Melon's eyes were red.

It's just that grandma blinked hard again, and she couldn't see it unless she looked carefully.

They wouldn't have noticed if the little assistant hadn't taken a shot from a distance first, and then taken a close-up of grandma's eyes.

Yes, it is absolutely false to say that Mrs. Xu was not touched.

Especially when hearing so many old people exhorting: "Children, be careful."

Barefoot, with trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, and shovels tied to their bodies, the boys jumped into the icy river one after another without any hesitation.

Then the shore shouted the chant, loosened the rope a little bit, and pulled it up a little bit.

Loosening the rope is: "咾咾呵,咾咾呵!"

Pulling it up is: "咾咾哩，咾咾哗!"

At this time, even the background music in the live broadcast room became: "Together in the same boat, the sea makes way, and the waves pull aside when the chant is shouted; a hundred boats compete for the flow, and a thousand sails are exhausted, and the waves are behind the shore and ahead."

The waves on the river are rolling.

Wang Yusheng, who sank into the river, pulled out the shovel he carried with him, and only lightly chiseled the edge of the embankment, and a hole appeared. There was only one voice in his heart. Fortunately, he got down and looked, and when he emerged from the river, he shouted: "There is a hole!"

Then San Mengzi also showed his head: "This is a small hole!"

On the other side, the beautiful and strong son-in-law at the door looks as thin as a chick and seems to have no great ability. Once he enters the river, he looks like a white-striped water mouse in the waves. It seems that he is the most able to hold back underwater and float When I came out of the river, I shook my wet hair vigorously: "Ma'am, I have a big hole here!"

Hearing such a result, the people on the shore didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or to be more worried.

Fourth Uncle and Seventh Uncle stared at the river with their one-eyed eyes, while directing everyone to mark it quickly and go down to fill in it later, they looked at Mrs. Xu, hesitating to speak.

Fortunately, the woman in front of me is in charge today, and she would rather go all out and be scolded than insist on letting everyone go to the river.

If Liu Laozhu just piled up big rocks in a daze, he would have to wait for the heavy rain to sink the dam.

It is conceivable that if there is another torrential rain, people who live close to the shore will be flooded, and their houses may collapse.
