The rainwater goes down. The rainwater in the village and the fields will first seep into the ground. Only those that cannot seep down will flow into the small river along the ravines and eventually flow into this artificial river.

At the same time, it can be seen that this artificial river is worth digging. It can flow into this river when it rains heavily to prevent water accumulation in the ground and in drought, it can also lead to water from the river to irrigate the ground. The contribution of the older generation is really great and is worth remembering by the younger generation.

The predecessors planted trees and then enjoyed the cool air. This river has to be said to be the mother river of the upstream and downstream villages.

But what about the rain upstream?

If it weren't for the rain, there had been water flowing slowly in the river, and it would be impossible to see that the river had actually stopped flowing.

Why did the flow stop? This became a question that Zhang Guoquan had to think about now. He stood by the river, staring blankly in the direction of the upstream, and could not see anything under the night sky.

He looked at it like that, but a bold idea came to his mind.

This idea did not come up suddenly. As early as a few days ago, he mentioned to Zhao Chunniu that Zhao Chunniu said it was impossible. If the people in the upstream blocked the river, they were digging their own graves.

But what if this is really possible? Or what if it happens?

Let’s not talk about the purpose of upstream for now, if upstream did this?

If Zhang Guoquan's chest suddenly fluttered violently, he would not dare to think about it anymore.

With so much water, the upstream cannot be blocked, and it will break the dam? That will cause a fatal problem. The consequences are definitely not something he dares to think about. They are so terrible.

Thinking of this, he took off his hat and threw it on the ground, then quickly turned around and crawled up, snatching his toes on the ground, holding the mud in his hands, and didn't even bother to wear shoes, and rushed to the yard in the water.

When he arrived in the yard, he pulled up his fourth brother who was already lying in the side room.

"Quick, hurry up, get up, don't stay in the house."

Zhang Guozheng was stunned: "Third brother, what's wrong with you?"

He looked up and down at the third brother who was anxious. He just now had his hat out with his hat. He came back, but his hat disappeared and his hair was wet. What he was most puzzled was that his shoes were gone.

Seeing his fourth brother dazed, Zhang Guoquan pulled him up and dragged him out of the house.

Immediately afterwards, he hurried to the main hall. Fortunately, Bai Ge was not asleep yet, so he pushed Bai Ge out of the room again.

"Guoquan, what are you doing? It rains so heavily outside."

While speaking, Zhang Guoquan had no time to explain and had already pushed the white pigeon into the yard.

Without any obstruction, the three of them were immediately poured into a chicken with soaked body. This made the fourth brother Zhang Guozheng very angry.

What kind of nerves did this third brother get? Did such heavy rain make several people go out and play?

Zhang Guoquan had no intention of paying attention to the angry fourth brother. He looked at the adobe house and ran into the house quickly. In less than half a minute, he took out a pile of bedding and plastic film that could block the rain.

"Stretch open." Zhang Guoquan shouted at his fourth brother.

Zhang Guozheng curled his lips and let his third brother stand on him in confusion.

The location away from the adobe house was almost at the entrance of the yard. According to the third brother's instructions, he first spread the plastic film open and put it on several tree sticks at the entrance of the yard. The third sister-in-law was pushed in and covered her body with a quilt. He was also ordered by the third brother to enter. This was indeed impossible to get wet, and she could only hear the sound of raindrops hitting the plastic film.

But why do you do it when you run down this temporary plastic film? Are you hiding from the rain?

A ready-made house and bed, it’s great to hide from the rain in the house.

He gasped: "Stern brother, come in too. Watch the rain from here and listen to the rain. It is indeed different from the house."

He just thought that the third brother was quite happy and joked with the third brother, but the third brother didn't want to enjoy the rain under the plastic film.

Yes, it’s dark, and you can appreciate anything. To appreciate it, it must be broad daylight. Third brother’s elegant pleasure was completely used in the wrong time.

Zhang Guoquan didn't have the heart to pay attention to his fourth brother's joke. He urgently needed to confirm something now, otherwise he would not be at ease living in adobe house.

Before leaving, Zhang Guoquan urgently explained: "You just stay here, don't go in, wait for me to come back."

Zhang Guozheng naturally wanted to ask his third brother to explain. While the third brother turned around, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why, you can't stay here overnight."

Zhang Guoquan ran and turned around and shouted, "Don't enter the house, it may collapse... I'll make sure... Come back soon, don't enter the house..."

Immediately afterwards, he disappeared into the night and was in heavy rain.

"Will the house collapse?" Zhang Guozheng murmured: "Is it this house? What nonsense will third brother say?"

Bai Ge frowned, Guoquan's words would definitely not be groundless.

Zhang Guozheng thought to himself that the house mentioned by the third brother seemed to have no other land except here. This was the dilapidated house given by his father-in-law when the third brother split up.

But no matter how old it is, it will not collapse.

Bai Ge asked: "Guozheng, didn't you tell your third brother some time ago that this house is soaked in water and isn't it solid? Is your third brother worried about this? After all, the light rain turned into heavy rain."

Zhang Guoquan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the third brother is worried about this. The third sister-in-law is not in trouble. I mean the house is too old and it is not safe to live in. It should be repaired as soon as possible, but it should be impossible to collapse because of the rain. So many years have passed, so it is not like it collapses. It will collapse early."

What I said seems to be reasonable. Almost all the village has adobe houses, and there are so many old ones. No one's house collapsed because of the rain.

Maybe Guoquan was feeling stressed during this period and was worried too much. Bai Ge said puzzledly: "What are your third brother going to make sure of?"

"I don't know, I'm in a hurry and don't even take a shower of rain. I'm leaving us here and not letting us enter the house. Third sister-in-law, my third brother is so tough. You have to take more responsibility in the future." Zhang Guozheng said to Bai Ge with a smile.

But he smiled and suddenly stopped laughing. He remembered the radio in the room. Not to mention the expensive one, it was my favorite thing. When my third brother was fine, he pointed to the radio and passed the time. He also relied on the news inside the radio to understand the outside world. That was my third brother's wings.

If the house collapsed as the third brother said, wouldn’t the radio be crushed?

In the heavy rainy night, along the river bank and towards the upstream, a straw raincoat was thrown on the ground.

Zhang Guoquan took it off and threw it off. He thought it was inconvenient to run in a straw raincoat, so he simply took it off and threw it off.

Now, he is racing against time.

He could no longer remember how many times he slipped and fell to the ground along the way. Anyway, he fell down, so he quickly got up and continued running.

If he walked, he would definitely not slip, but now he could only run.

It’s no different from the daytime, under the night, when you often lie on the ground in the air.

The face was tilted and was quickly washed away by the rain.

The run was dry and he turned his head to pick up the rain water. In this way, he came to the upper reaches, and it was the last time the waist of the river suddenly became narrower. Zhang Guoquan still remembered that it was here at that time. He and the villagers of Yangjiazhuang followed the villagers in the upper reaches to fight for the river water, and their heads were photographed by iron shovels.

When he arrived at the waist of the river, he looked up, which shocked him. The river water was indeed blocked and he used a lot of big stones, so there would be no problem for a while.

His "if" is true, and he is very glad to come upstream to confirm it, otherwise tonight or tomorrow night, at the latest...

Anyway, one night, when I was lying in the house and sleeping soundly, I might have been washed away by the flood and crushed to death below.

What made him even more shocked was that when he walked to the river bank to look, the ditches that could not be seen were full of water.

When the wild wind blew, the water filled with the ditches swayed, like a vast ocean. It was a fantasy to rely on those stones to gamble on the river waist to withstand the huge pressure caused by the accumulated river water.

The huge black and monstrous force made Zhang Guoquan frightened. This was not the river, this was simply the death-hunting King of Hell.

He knew that the river water would rush out the stones at any time and then rush downstream. It was just a matter of time. No one could say that it was certain, and it was likely to explode at any time.

Once so much water bursts out and rushes downstream, the families near the river beach will suffer a terrible disaster. His house is closest to the river ditch. Such an old house, the earthen walls are soaked in spring rain. Without a cloudy time, the foundation of the adobe house is so strong that it is difficult to ensure that it will not collapse.

Why do people in the upper reaches not hesitate to flood the fields and block the rivers?

He no longer thought about it, nor did he dare to think about it.

He had to go back and notify Aunt Wang quickly, and there were several neighbors who were relatively close. Although the neighbor's house was not as dilapidated as him and it was not easy to collapse by the river, if there were people in the house, who could guarantee that they would not suffer physical damage or even life under the sudden flood?

Without stopping, he ran again, and this time he rushed towards Yangjiazhuang like crazy.
