Seeing that she was silent, Gong Qianyu immediately raised his hand and swore: "I swear, I sincerely want to give you the jade pendant."

Shui Ling raised her hand to interrupt him, "That's not the case."

Gong Qianyu didn't understand, and looked at her blankly, a little pitifully.

Shui Ling sighed, "My mother said that when a man gives a personal jade pendant to a woman, he is handing over the power to manage the family's money. Did you know that?"

Gong Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "What did you think it was? Of course I know this. I learned it when I was five years old."

Shui Ling, "..." I dare to admit that my father's cultural knowledge is not as good as that of a five-year-old child.

Gong Qianyu said: "There won't be any light tomorrow. I'm going to get some branches to make torches. I...I'm going to work."

"Wait a minute." Shui Ling stopped him and pushed the package in his hand to him, "This is for you, use it carefully. If you want to open it, press the red gem, and press the top and bottom together."

Gong Qianyu was confused. He watched Shui Ling disappear before opening the package. He was a little confused when he saw the gorgeous circle. He found two red gems and pressed them up and down...

"Huh? It's a soft sword, it's great." He took out the sword and waved it, and all three bamboos were broken.

Gong Qianyu was shocked on the spot, "..." This soft sword can be exchanged for ten cities.

Shui Ling, who ran back, continued working. It took the family five days to finally water the ground. On August 19th, it started to rain steadily for ten days, and everyone was gloomy and gloomy.

Shui Zheran calculated it and found that it was almost time to harvest, so he said: "I'm going to take the grain back and dry it with fire every day, otherwise we won't be able to get a single grain of rice back if this continues."

The villagers didn't agree, and Shui Zheran didn't care. Instead, he found a few people who were willing to help him go to the fields to collect grain.

The ground was very muddy, but the villagers who followed were surprised to see the crops ripening early.

They spread the collected grain on the ground in the house and dried it bit by bit. When all the crops were harvested, the villagers couldn't sit still. They went to the field and saw that the crops were ready for harvesting, so they harvested with all their strength.

When I get home, I'll bake them on the fire.

This shows the advantage of having less food. It can be done without having to dry the grain in the drying field.

After daybreak in mid-September, everyone happily came out to bask in the sun.

The patriarch's face no longer looked sad, and he smiled happily, "You said our food is suddenly ripe, is it God's blessing?"

The idle man immediately said: "It's God's blessing that we won't starve to death, haha... Oops, it rained again just after the sun came out."

The villagers ran back to the cave, but Shui Zheran looked at the dark clouds in the distance and frowned, "It looks like it's another heavy rain. The ground has been saturated due to the light rain and will not absorb water."

Su Qin also frowned and looked at the sky, "Yes, it will be even bigger than last year."

Shui Zheran nodded, "I'm going to get sandbags. The door must be well protected, otherwise water will pour into the cellar and the food will be ruined."

The food of the lonely old man was all in the cellar. Shui Ling thought for a while and said: "It is better to bury the entrance of the cellar with clay and light it to harden it. In this way, no matter how much water there is, it will be fine. We can dig it out after the water recedes."

"Yes, I'm going to find your great-grandfather." Shui Zheran ran to the next door despite the rain.

Shui Ling entered the space to look for raincoats and the like, and found a lot of water bags.

This water bag looks like a sheepskin raft. When filled with water, the compressed sand can be soaked and used as a flood control sandbag.

She immediately took out the water bags and filled them with water from the water purifier. One bag filled with water actually weighed a hundred kilograms.

Shui Zheran came out from the next door and saw the sandbag at Shui Ling's feet. He picked it up and said, "These Bangbang things are quite interesting. There are still many more, so take them out and use them."

"Two hundred and ninety-nine." Shui Ling replied.

Shui Zheran looked at it and shook his head, "It's not enough, but I'll use it first."

He started to get busy, and the villagers came out to help. They also knew that the water would rise, and no one noticed why Shui Zheran had so many leather bags.

At night, Shui Zheran sealed the entrance to the cellar. During the day, Shui Dongliu asked everyone to store all the food in, leaving only a few outside.

A bonfire was lit in the sealed area and since no one was staying in the shared dining room, it was okay to burn it all night.

The heavy rain kept falling, and the crackling sound was irritating. Shuiling was awakened by a muffled thunder.

She got up and looked outside. She felt something moving on the floor of the main room, so she stepped over the threshold to take a look. Unexpectedly, her foot actually stepped into the water, and the water level did not reach the top of her feet.

She didn't care much and immediately opened the door. The water outside the door immediately poured in. The simple embankment made of sandbags could no longer block the water in the river, and it was pouring in with the wind.

Shui Ling picked up the gong next to the water purifier and started beating it, "Get up quickly, the flood has entered the house. People on the first floor should get up as soon as possible."

After waking up the people on the first floor, they didn't even have time to put on their clothes before running up with the food.

Shui Ling went back into the space and called his parents. Shui Zheran put on his clothes and came out of the space. When he saw that the dike was crooked, he immediately said, "Everyone on the second floor is going up. If the dike is destroyed, water will come in and the second floor cannot be saved."

His words had some weight now, and Shui Dongliu immediately followed up and shouted, "Hurry, save all the food, and take in what you can. In the current flood, life is the most important."

When he shouted like this, everyone who didn't want to move hurried up.

Shui Zheran first went to carry Shui Zhetian to the third floor. They were originally said to be separated but lived together to support each other. This actually warmed up the cold family ties.

Shuiling found an oilcloth and put it on Su Qin to cover her and the two children.

Su Qin said: "Let's go directly to the top floor. The watchtower there is empty."

"Okay." Shui Ling nodded.

But after entering, I found that there were already people inside. They all saw Su Qin, but no one said a word.

It's like a bus full of people suddenly comes up with a child, and everyone sitting there starts pretending to be asleep.

The sixth wife who squeezed in saw Su Qin and immediately said, "Come here, I'll go out."

Of course, Su Qin would not take the place of an old lady. She shook her head and said, "I can just stay at the door, with an oilcloth blocking it."

The sixth wife said: "The child cannot catch cold, come in, you give way, I will go out."

The sixth wife arrived at the door and pulled Su Qin in, and then she and Shui Ling huddled under the oilcloth.

Shui Ling found that the old lady was hugging her tightly, for fear that she would be caught in the rain.

She felt warm in her heart, thinking about this lonely old lady, from now on she should be her grandma and respect her.

Just hearing a bang below, the whole mountain trembled, and someone shouted: "The third floor can't be saved, go up quickly, hurry up..."

Everyone climbed to the top of the mountain and huddled together like quails.

Shui Zheran wiped the rain off his face and saw his wife standing at the door with difficulty holding her child. Outside the door stood the daughter and sixth wife who were soaked. They were also trying hard to pull the oilcloth to shield their daughter-in-law from the rain.
