Dressed as a peasant girl, the prince actually wants to seduce me

Chapter 274: Getting Deeper

And the little head between his neck, soft and itchy when his hair brushed against it. Ji Shiyan couldn't help but think of a kitten. Su Mu was just like a kitten, very cute.

The two overlapping figures walked slowly forward, their backs harmonious and beautiful. The woman lowered her head from time to time and said something to the man, and the man also responded with half his head turned, leaving a trail of footprints behind them.

But the rain did not turn out as the two had expected. It was already evening and there was no sign of it stopping. Instead, it was getting bigger and bigger.

The night was dark and the rain was pouring down. The whole world was enveloped in it, deep and terrifying.

The heavy rain lasted for one day and two nights, and only slowly subsided at dawn.

Taking advantage of the break in the rain, people put on straw raincoats and other rainproof gear and went to various low-lying areas, or cleared the blocked areas, or dug holes in the low-lying areas to allow water to flow.

Not only Qingshan Village, but many places took advantage of this gap to go out for work.

After the last drought, people’s awareness has been greatly improved, and they are clearly aware of various disaster response measures, so they face them calmly without panicking.

Actively seek solutions.

Not long after, when some places had not yet been cleared, heavy rain began to fall again, and some people continued to work in the heavy rain.

But in order to ensure the safety of these people, they were driven away first.

The rain in summer is very strange. It rains very heavily for a while, but then starts to get smaller after a while, and then starts to get larger again after a while, and this cycle repeats over and over again.

People are always ready. When the rain starts to get lighter, they rush out to start working. When the rain gets heavier, they come back. This cycle repeats itself.

After a long time, finally all the places were cleared.

Fortunately, there is no water in the village. According to the experience of our predecessors, houses and villages are generally built on high ground in places where people gather.

Moreover, the threshold of a house is usually built quite high, otherwise how would you be able to step into the house every day?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if the sky was torn apart, and the rain water was pouring back into the earth.

The rain kept falling for several days in a row. Every day, Sumu would run to the river to take a look when the rain was lighter.

I watched the water in the river increase, gradually from a little to one third, to half, and now to two thirds, and the rain still didn't stop.

Ji Shiyan would follow him every time, as he was worried about Sumu going to the river alone. It was still a bit dangerous there. The heavy rains in recent days had washed the river bank very smooth and muddy.

You will fall into it if you are not careful.

The rain continued until the river was full, and then the downpour kindly stopped, the weather cleared up, and the sun came out.

"It's sunny now." Su Mu looked up and felt the sunshine.

After days of rain, I haven’t seen such bright sunshine for a long time.

Now it is no longer like the drought when we are unhappy seeing the sun. Seeing the sun now is like seeing a loved one.

People went out and talked to each other.

"Did it stop?"

"Will the rain stop falling?"

But no one can guarantee this result.

After waiting for a long time, as the sun gradually rose to noon and became brighter, people dared to believe that the rain had really stopped.

"It stopped, it really stopped." The aunt shouted excitedly, and then hurried home.

Someone familiar behind her called out to her, "It's raining now, why are you going home so soon?"

The man said without even turning his head, "Go home and dry your clothes and quilts."

"That's right!" The person who called out slapped his thigh, "I want to go home and dry my quilt, too."

"It has been raining all day, the quilts and clothes are wet, and the chopsticks in my house have become moldy."

"I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm going home to dry my clothes."

After a while, all the people under the big tree in the village went home.

The Su family was also drying their quilts. They always felt the quilts were damp these past few days. It was as if they were covering themselves with a wet quilt late at night, and the clothes they wore every day also felt very damp.

These are just the households whose roofs are not leaking. One can imagine how much harder it is for those whose roofs are leaking.

The whole family squeezed into the room that was not leaking, and under the room that was leaking, they had to use basins to collect water to prevent the rainwater from leaking everywhere.

In addition to these, there were many other people, holding large nets and branches, and groups of people flocked to the river.

There are a lot of fish in the river after a heavy rain, and I don’t know where they come from.

People forgot about the rain and only saw the fish in front of them.

Each fish was very big and fat, some were half a person's height. The people who caught the fish happily pulled the fish to the capital city while they were fresh and lost no time to sell the fish, which was also a source of income.

Although we were very happy to catch the big fish, the heavy rain also caused considerable losses. Fortunately, the crops managed to survive.

Unfortunately, some people's houses were washed away, and many people were left homeless. They cried as they looked at the ruins of their homes. These were the results of their hard work!

Post-disaster reconstruction is imminent, and there are still many post-disaster issues that need to be dealt with.

Many wealthy families came out to distribute porridge, and Sumu also participated in it. Every day, at a fixed location, he provided food to people. The porridge was a very thick eight-treasure porridge with sugar added. Drinking a bowl of it seemed to sweeten the heart.

Those who ate the porridge were very shocked that someone would give out porridge and put sugar in it!

In addition to various foods, Sumu also donated a lot of silver and money to help people better resume their lives and rebuild their homes.

Take from the people and use it for the people. The earning of this money is inseparable from the support of the people, and the people truly love her. She has no reason not to help them.

After those things were arranged, Su Mu finally found time to visit his fields.

Others came to report that many ripe vegetables in the fields were knocked down.

Sumu strolled to the edge of the field. The road was no longer muddy, but the soil in the field was soft and he could not enter the field.

Just looking around the perimeter, you can see a lot of fallen tomatoes just outside.

Su Mu was extremely distressed. My tomatoes! My vegetables! My fields!

It’s okay, it’s okay, Su Mu comforted himself, it’s nothing.

When the fields are ready for work, we'll ask someone to come and help with the work.

There was no way to deal with the field now and it would take some time to wait, so Sumu went to the capital.

The capital city now looked nothing like it had been raining heavily for several days, and there was not a single drop of water on the bluestone pavement.

On the contrary, the roads were washed exceptionally clean, and the planted trees were exceptionally bright. The whole world seemed to have been cleaned inside and out, and a bright filter was turned on.

The happiest thing is that the goods in the shops in the capital were not damaged.

Sumu came to the porridge shed and helped out.
