Although Lin Yihao was puzzled, wondering how could there be a flood after it had just rained, he still left obediently.
Yu Ruyue and her family packed up their things and prepared to leave.
Shen Zhiheng wanted to stop them, "It's raining so hard outside, why don't you rest here for two more days!?"
Yu Ruyue shook her head and rejected his proposal. "The rain isn't heavy right now, so it won't soak the land for a while. If it continues for another two days, the road up the mountain will be very muddy and difficult to walk on. It's easy to fall. It's better to go back now!"
"That's right! Let Yilan and the others live in this yard, and take better care of them on weekdays."
Shen Zhiheng nodded and reluctantly sent the person back.
As soon as Yu Ruyue returned to the mountain, she was surrounded by everyone, her face full of excitement!
"Ruyue! I didn't expect you to be so capable. You're simply amazing."
"Yeah! It rains when it says it will!"
Yu Ruyue smiled and changed the subject, "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"
Everyone nodded quickly. "Don't worry, we've laid two layers of bricks inside the cave, topped them with wooden boards, and laid another layer of stones. Finally, we've put down waterproof tarpaulin. As for the entrance, we've built a wall with bricks and wooden boards, and reinforced it with tarpaulin."
"As for the cave, we also looked around and found that there were no large rocks. It was also surrounded by several layers of fences made of thick wood. Even if a rock rolled down, the impact on the cave would be much less after being blocked by so many trees."
"Yes! Even the area next to our house has been reinforced."
"We also dug a ditch so that the water from the mountain can flow down the mountain and won't gather here."
Yu Ruyue nodded, then led everyone on a tour around the area in the rain.
"Okay! The rain hasn't been heavy these past two days, so everyone should work hard and continue digging ditches and reinforcing the trenches. The rain will continue for several days."
"We're just in case."
Everyone had no objection to what Yu Ruyue said. They nodded quickly, quickly separated, and began to reinforce the houses and caves.
Yu Ruyue looked at the terrain. This cave was formed naturally, and the thick mountain above it was very solid. Unless there was a meteorite from outer space, the cave should not be able to collapse. But just in case, they still asked them to use wood as a buffer on top of the cave.
Moreover, this cave is the highest place here. Unless this area is completely flooded, the water cannot rush into the cave. But in order to avoid this situation, everyone raised the bottom of the cave by several floors.
After all, Shen Chou learned after much inquiry that this rain would last for three consecutive days, stop for seven days, and then there would be a heavy rainstorm.
The heavy rain lasted for ten days in total.
Instantly flooding the originally dry land...
Yu Ruyue only hopes that those remaining people can take her advice to heart, reinforce their houses and repair their roofs.
It has been drizzling these days. Yu Ruyue has been staying in the house and has not gone out. She opened the window and listened to the sound of rain outside, feeling depressed!
Even though the charcoal, coal and food are all prepared, I still feel a little nervous!
Sure enough, the rain lasted for three days. After the rain stopped, everyone took the time to continue reinforcing the nearby houses and the cave.
Yu Ruyue's belly now has a noticeable bulge. Although she wants to go over and help, she is really powerless.
By the seventh day, there were signs of impending storm outside.
The strong wind came howling, carrying with it the humid air.
Because the wind was so strong, everyone had to shout to speak.
Yu Dehou took Village Chief Shen and others to walk through all the reinforced areas again, and checked the drainage ditch to confirm that there were no leaks before returning.
"Ruyue! Don't worry, we've checked everything out, and they should be able to survive these ten days."
Yu Ruyue nodded, her eyes fixed on the green vegetables swaying in the wind. "Mom! Take your men and pull all those green vegetables down."
"Dad! Go and take the people with you and dig up all the sweet potatoes."
"Uncle Village Chief! Kill all the chickens and rabbits that need to be killed."
"Also, move all the meat and fruit in our ice cellar into the cave."
Everyone hesitated when they heard this. "Ruyue! Those vegetables have grown a lot after the rain the past two days. And the sweet potato you mentioned is growing underground, so it shouldn't be a problem. As for those chickens and rabbits, they've grown so big with so much effort. I really can't bear to kill them all."
In fact, Yu Ruyue was also very reluctant. Because of these things, the mountain finally felt like home, but now she had to pull them out with her own hands. However, according to Shen Chou, this rainstorm was so fierce that many houses could not be saved, let alone vegetables and poultry.
"Look at the sky. It's going to rain heavily tonight and it's going to last for ten days. I can't guarantee that the chickens, rabbits, and vegetables outside can survive the ravages of the rain. Rather than risking heavy rain and lightning to bring these things back later, it's better to take them back to the cave now and store them safely."
Although everyone knew this, they still wanted to wait a little longer, as if that would allow the vegetables and poultry to grow in value a little longer, but they saw the wind growing stronger and stronger.
Everyone should start to divide the work and cooperate honestly.
However, when everyone looked at the pile of red melons dug out of the ground, they were all shocked. Village Chief Shen squatted on the ground and picked up a sweet potato, looking left and right. "What is this? There are so many growing on a single vine, and they are so big." The old tree man shook the sweet potato in his hand and exclaimed, "Yes! This is the legendary sweet potato! Can this thing really be eaten? The yield is huge."
Yu Ruyue smiled and nodded. "This thing is called sweet potato, or sweet potato. It was brought from the other side of the sea. Not only is it extremely productive, but it also doesn't require very high soil conditions. It tastes very sweet and is very filling."
"It's definitely enough to keep us fed through the winter."
When everyone heard that there was enough food to last through the winter, they instantly became happy and worked even harder to dig sweet potatoes.
At this moment, the usually quiet Shu Sanchao suddenly said, "The yield of these sweet potatoes is so huge. If we spread the seeds and planting methods, wouldn't everyone in our Great Dynasty be able to have enough to eat? We won't have to worry about food anymore!"
When everyone heard this, they looked at the sweet potatoes in their hands with a different meaning.
They had seen with their own eyes how Yu Ruyue cut the sprouted sweet potatoes into small pieces and buried them in the soil, and how they grew to their current size. The sweet potatoes in their hands were not only for food, but also for seeds that would continue their legacy...
Thinking of this, everyone became more cautious when digging sweet potatoes.
Yu Ruyue replied, "The sweet potato yield is indeed very high, but the current Great Dynasty is rotten from the root. Even if the yield is high, it will not be able to fill the people's stomachs."
