She went to town in the morning, and in the afternoon she and Huolin drove the donkey up the mountain carrying grain and some daily necessities.

She gave the nameless lake a name, let's call it Qinghu!

When she mentioned this name to her sister, Shen Hui looked weird and the corners of her mouth twitched several times, but she finally restrained herself from breaking the spell.

After two trips, with the blessing of Apple, the donkey knew the way and walked smoothly.

When they arrived at the place, they unloaded the supplies, and she and Huo Lin began to repair the house.

The more you do it, the more skilled you become.

Huo Lin was responsible for cutting down trees, picking out small and messy trees, dragging them back and spreading them in the open space in front of the wooden house to dry them quickly while the sun was shining.

The main thing is to cut down pine trees. This thing is easy to burn, even if it is wet, it can burn.

The first consideration when transporting grain is to prevent pests.

Shen Qing sprinkled lime under the house, dug a small ditch around the house, sprinkled lime, and buried it.

In addition, mugwort must be smoked every day.

She and Huo Lin cut down trees to build a shed, a latrine, and a place to pile firewood.

There were no beds in either wooden house, and she didn't plan to make a bed. She just spread some hay underneath and put a quilt on top, so she could sleep. Since the house was suspended in the air, as long as the bottom was protected from moisture, the ground would stay dry.

Of course, the Shen family's ten acres of land could not be given up completely. Following Old Man Huo's instructions, she asked people to dig drainage ditches around it, and they had to dig deeper.

After three days of busy work, some people have already gone to the fields to cut wheat.

The harvested wheat is spread out in the threshing floor, where it is turned over and threshed.

Wu Juhua looked at the cloudless sky and scolded Shen Qing in her heart, "Look at how sunny it is today. Shen Qing definitely has no good intentions. She has a crow's mouth and a broomstick. I can't have anything to do with her again in the future." Go ahead and avoid bad luck."

She only dared to say this when Cao Dahai was not around.

Zhou Laidi from Xinghua Village was also cutting wheat in the field. When she was tired, she straightened up and looked up at the sky. She also felt that Shen Qing might have guessed wrong. The grain was expensive. When the grain was harvested, the price of grain would definitely drop. Hmm. !She suffered a loss.

Shen Youxin didn't believe it either, thinking that Shen Qing was talking nonsense and being alarmist.

In short, not many people believe it.

Probably only Shen Hui believed in her the most, followed by Huo Lin.

Early that morning, before Shen Qing got up, she heard a strong wind blowing outside, and Grandma Shen yelling something at the top of her voice.

She opened the window and took a look, and saw dark clouds looming over the sky. It was dark, as if something was about to pour down.

The strong wind blew across the ground, causing the dust to fly up and blur the vision. The weightless things in the yard followed the wind, and their broken house seemed to be shaking.

Grandma Shen stood in the courtyard, her face turned pale with fright, "It's over, it's over, this damn girl is not going to hit the mark, is there going to be a flood?"

Shen Hui was carrying a bucket to go to the next door to fetch water. Hearing this, she just chuckled and said: "Qing'er never tells lies. If she says there is, then there must be." If not, then it is because the weather is changing and it is different from her prediction. It doesn't matter.

Shen Qing smiled, how wonderful it was to have someone who trusted him unconditionally!

She lifted up the quilt, jumped into the pit, rushed out of the house, looked at the sky, with uncontrollable joy on her face, and shouted to the other side of the courtyard wall, "Xiao Linzi, a heavy rain is coming, we have to move quickly. !" In the blink of an eye, Huo Lin came running over, but his expression was a little wrong, "If it really breaks out, you will still be happy!"

"Hey! That's not what they say. It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. This is something that cannot be resisted by human power. Even the emperor can't control it, right? In this case, why can't I turn disaster into an opportunity? Wait until we have time. Only when we have more money can we help more people, don’t you think?”

Huo Lin didn't feel at all that she was deceiving people. He just thought it made sense, "That's right. How are we going to move it? Can't we take the two pigs with us? It's too heavy, even a donkey can't carry it."

Shen Qing stood at the door of the main room, pinching his waist with one hand and commanding with the other, "Sister, grandma, drive the chickens and ducks into the cage. Later, hang the bamboo baskets on the donkey's back. The food is almost transported, and now we have to carry the pots and pans." Don't use jars for pots and pickles, use baskets, which are lighter, and bring everything you can with bedding and other things. Later, Huo Lin and I will drive the donkey into the mountains to deliver things, and carry some more, and we will be there at noon. Come back, Uncle Huo, come with us. We’ll stay there tonight, just in time to see something. Xiao Linzi, don’t look at me like that. If you’re worried, just stay there tonight. We’ll go over there tomorrow. , the rain may not come down today, and it’s hard to say tomorrow.”

Several people in the courtyard were stunned. Shen Hui pointed at the house and said, "Doesn't that mean we have to move all the family there?" She thought it was just a matter of staying there for a few days and making do.

Shen Qing shook his head, with a solemn expression, "It's hard to say how many days it will rain, but our house is at the foot of the mountain. If there is a flood on the mountain, I'm afraid we won't be able to save it." It's a pity for the two pigs. I hope they are lucky if they survive the disaster. , she showed great kindness and did not kill them, but let them go freely.

Grandma Shen kept nagging, saying that she was crazy and that her brain had been gnawed by a dog. After all, the old lady did as she said, packed up her things and dug out the vegetable jar.

Shen Qing took Xiao Huang with him this time. The little thing has grown up and seems to be more courageous. He knows how to bark when he sees strangers.

The donkey was carrying a bunch of chirping guys and had a hard time walking.

Huolin carried the pot on his back and carried a basket on his arm to load the dishes.

Old Uncle Huo only packed up the clothes of his grandparents and their important things, and followed behind, using a walking stick and groaning from exhaustion.

Shen Qing also carried a lot of things on his back. The weather was sultry and the three of them were sweating profusely.

Stopping to rest in the middle, Shen Qing took out the bamboo tube, opened the lid, poured out the cold water, took a cup with the bamboo lid, and handed it to Old Man Huo.

The old man looked tired and looked bad. Mountain climbing was strenuous work and he hadn't climbed it in several years.

Although the mountain is not steep and the mountain road is not difficult to walk, he still can't hold on!

He took the water and drank it, and then rested for a while before he regained his composure, "Girl, tell the truth to Grandpa, who did you listen to who said there was going to be a flood? If there was no flood, and we had been struggling for so long, wouldn't it be called Did you see the joke?"

At this point, Shen Qing couldn't say anything.

She couldn't say it was a dream, could she?

If so, Old Man Huo would probably go home immediately.

If you can't say it, you absolutely can't say it, then you can only push it out.

"Actually... I actually heard it from the abbot of White Horse Temple..."

At this time, in the White Horse Temple, the abbot and abbot with a wrinkled face sneezed inexplicably.

Mingli on the side asked with concern: "Master, are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while and lecture to the disciples later?"

The abbot waved his hand tiredly, "No defense, no defense. The weather has been very weird recently. Lao Na can't see through it. Inform the monks in the temple to check everything carefully and don't be careless."

Mingli clasped his hands together and said, "Disciple, I understand."

Qinghu Lake is extremely quiet today, and no birds can be heard in the water and grass beside the lake.
