Chapter 107 Flood
But she was too lazy to ask and didn't want to know.

"It's okay anyway. After dinner later, let's go to bed!" Why not sleep on a rainy day!
Shen Hui cheered up and said, "I'll wash the dishes."

Shen Qing said: "Move the pots and dishes outside to the corridor. After a while of rain, they will be washed clean. The lake is slippery, so don't go there if you have nothing to do."

Shen Hui nodded, "Then I will move all these useless pots out and catch some rainwater so that we can cook at night."

Grandma Shen had a lot of words to say in her heart and waited for her granddaughter to ask. Unfortunately, neither of them pretended to see her, so she could only sigh and eat the food.

While taking a nap, it rained heavily outside again.

Shen Qing lay on the soft floor, stared at the roof, and sighed: "Fortunately, the roof was repaired in advance, otherwise it would leak and it would be really fatal." Shen Hui also sighed, "I didn't expect that this house is so solidly built. It was built by Huo Yunzhou Right? If he didn’t become a soldier, he would definitely be a very good hunter.”

Granny Shen said: "What's the future of hunting in the mountains? It's not a lifetime of ghost hunting, but there is nothing good about being a soldier and fighting. There are too many dead people on the battlefield. Maybe one day the news of his death will be sent."

"Grandma, how can you curse someone to death and let Uncle Huo hear it? He should be sad." Shen Hui said in a low voice.

Shen Qing thought that although grandma's words were unpleasant, she was telling the truth. A sword has no eyes. This was only the worst outcome. There were good outcomes, such as becoming a marquis and becoming a prime minister, but the probability was so low that it could be ignored.

"You two are still young, so you don't know how important it is to marry into a good family. When this flood is over, grandma will definitely keep an eye on you two and find a suitable husband. Especially Hui Yatou, you have a weak temper. You have to find a gentle and kind-hearted husband and a clean girl. When you get married, you have to temper your temper and stop running around like a wild boy all day long. What does it look like..."

"Grandma, sister is asleep." Shen Qing covered her mouth with his small hands, squinting and smiling like a cat that had stolen fish. "I will not get married in the future. I will earn a lot of money in the future and provide for you until the end of my life. Let me build you a noble cemetery!”

"You're talking nonsense again, let's see if I don't hit you!" Granny Shen was so angry that she couldn't laugh or cry. She took her hand away and raised her hand to hit her. She raised it high but fell gently.

After the death of a son and the death of a daughter-in-law, there were only two girls left in the boss's bloodline. After all, they were still part of the boss's bloodline. Besides, these two girls were really caring and she couldn't bear to let them go.

Living in seclusion in the mountains, I just eat and sleep, and occasionally feed the donkeys and chickens.

Uncle Huo was really bored, so he put on his raincoat, took a pony, and sat by the lake to fish.

The delivery was pretty good, so Shen Qing was responsible for scraping the fish scales, washing the internal organs, cleaning the fish, and then setting up a barbecue stall to make delicious grilled fish.

Huo Lin also went to chop some bamboo, and Mr. Huo quickly made a few shrimp pots and placed them in shallow water. When he picked them up in the morning, he found they were full of fish and a lot of crayfish.

Shen Hui also ran to the lake to pick up snails when the rain was small.

As a result, spicy crayfish and snails were added to their table.

Three days passed like this, and the heavy rain also lasted for three full days. There were times when the rain was light, but most of the time it was moderate rain.

Shen Qing and Huo Lin secretly went back to take a look. Of course, they stood on the mountain from a distance and looked down the mountain.

Their two families' houses were gone, and only a vast expanse of ocean remained at the bottom of the mountain.

Huo Lin felt extremely sad and hated God. "When will it rain?"

Shen Qing put a hand on his shoulder and sighed, "Who knows, fire and water are merciless. We just lost our house. I'm afraid more people will die in this flood."

Huo Lin wiped away his tears with his sleeve, "Then after the flood recedes, will we still build a house on the same spot?" Shen Qing hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.

If it had been in the past, she would have wanted to build her new house and courtyard here, with the mountain at her back, countless unclaimed lands on three sides, and the mountain at the back being a natural treasure house with countless resources.

But a flood completely stopped her thoughts.

If you want to build a house or develop a property here, you have to take natural disasters, floods, and fires into consideration.

She suddenly lowered her head and looked at her feet, "I think the location here is not bad."

"Sister, are you kidding? Why don't you want to go to the town? If we are doing business, wouldn't it be convenient to set up a shop?"

"No, we don't know any traditional crafts. We only rely on food grown in the fields, chickens and ducks raised by ourselves, mushrooms and bamboo shoots picked in the mountains, and fish in the pond. If we don't have these things, how can we make money? ?" She thought for a moment and realized that the flood problem was not impossible to solve.

For example, if we build two large aqueducts, the terrain in the north should be lower and lead all the way to the mountain stream. Water drainage is not a problem, as long as they are built through.

Besides, when building a house, you can also raise the foundation!
If you have problems, solve them. When this rain passes, everything will be different.

In the evening, Shen Hui cooked hot pot and prepared some side dishes, and several people gathered on the terrace to eat fish hot pot.

While enjoying the rain, I was cooking vegetables, but it was a pity that there was no wine, otherwise the life of a god would be just like this.

Xiao Huang was also treated well. He was given a fish bone, which he held on the side and gnawed while wagging his tail.

Old Man Huo looked up at the roof of the shed above. They had rushed it out. They first made a bamboo mat to cover it, then cut some reeds and covered it layer by layer. Finally, they pressed it with stones to prevent it from being blown by the wind. Blow away.

"With this roof, it will be good for us to eat on the terrace in the future." Old Man Huo pointed to the lake again, "It's best to build a pavilion over there. It will be convenient for me to fish in the future, but if I can go fishing in the lake, That's fine, but it's a pity that there is no boat. It would be great if your brother was here, he can make a raft."

Huo Lin was dissatisfied, "Grandpa, you still plan to stay here forever!"

Uncle Huo glared at him, "Now that I can't leave, what should I think about?"

Grandma Shen said: "I was just thinking about moving a stone and placing it by the lake so that it would be easier for me to wash clothes."

Shen Qing picked up a piece of fish and didn't say anything, just eating.

Shen Hui scooped some vegetables and soup with a spoon, put them into Old Man Huo's bowl, and whispered softly: "When the rain stops and the flood recedes, we can go home. It's so remote here. I heard tigers at night." I think there are many scary beasts in the forest, and there are also venomous snakes, which almost scared me to death."

Shen Qing looked up at her, "There must be wild beasts in the woods. When they want to hunt for autumn fat, they will run down the mountain to find food. There should be bears too. Our cabin can't hold up, so you don't have to think too far ahead." "

"Boom!" Another burst of thunder interrupted the conversation of several people.

Grandma Shen was worried, "How many more days will it rain? I don't know how your uncle and his family are doing."
