"Boom!"
Black clouds covered the sky, and as a bolt of lightning tore apart, rolling thunder exploded between the sky and the earth.
The pouring rain instantly blocked the entire world.
The rainy season has finally arrived.
Well, actually Zhang Yang doesn't know what the divisions of spring, summer, autumn and winter are in this fantasy world.
But since it had rained only a handful of times in the past three months, and it wasn't that grand, he took it for granted that it should be spring.
So it's summer.
Wheat, corn, potatoes, millet and other crops in the farmland have been planted for two months and will be harvested in about thirty or forty days. This heavy rain should come in time.
But what Zhang Yang is worried about is that if the rain won't stop and it keeps falling for a month, then he will be doomed.
So he braved the heavy rain and ran directly to the tavern. He had to ask Renn, a 'local' who had lived here for 5 years.
In the past few days, there has been a lot of construction in the village, but Zhang Yang did not let Ren and his gang participate, so these guys were very nourished.
As long as people have enough to eat and live in a safe and comfortable environment, their vigilance towards the outside world will gradually decrease, and their mood will become more relaxed. Otherwise, there would be no saying that "when you are full and warm, you will miss others". At this point, the willpower softens.
For example, when Zhang Yang appeared in front of the 21 human monsters in Renn, what he saw was not the 21 humanoid beasts with green eyes five days ago. Even though their expressions were still wary, their eyes changed. Everything has become slightly clearer, friendly, and hopeful. Yes, it is hope.
As long as people still have hope, then everything is easy to say.
"Lord! What's the matter with you?" After the ceremony, Ren asked with some anxiety. It was true that they had been too comfortable in the past five days. As a result, Zhang Yang never came even once. Now it was raining heavily but he came in a hurry. , I would feel uneasy if I put it on anyone.
"How long will this rain last?"
Zhang Yang asked as soon as he opened his mouth. He was so anxious that he had no choice. When he was on Earth, he was just a freshman, and he had never farmed before. How could he have thought everything through many steps in advance? If it hadn't been for the heavy rain, he wouldn't have even realized it. this point.
"Heavy rain?" Ren was stunned and thought to himself, "I'm not a wizard. How do I know how long it will rain?"
He grinned and scratched his head and thought for a long time before he said in a very tactful voice, "Lord, I am the King of Shield Soldiers. I am a very good shield wielder and have very strong defense. The previous village chief said that I It’s a tank.”
"Tank, your sister! I-Okay, what I'm asking you is, will this heavy rain affect the crops? You have also seen that we have planted more than 200 acres of wheat over there. Do you know what wheat is?"
Zhang Yang was so anxious that he was so ridiculous. The Seventh Army was flooded. Who cares if you are a tank or an armored vehicle
This time, Ren finally understood and waved his hand hurriedly, "No, no, Lord, as long as this heavy rain does not form a flash flood, it will stop by night at most, and there will be many more heavy rains like this in the future. , it’s summer.”
Ren En said with a smile on his face. To be able to make such a proud man lower his eyebrows is of course not because of the domineering aura that does not exist in Zhang Yang, but because he sees the development potential of this village, which is only more than two hundred acres. The crops are growing happily and the land is being reclaimed on a large scale. What does this mean that he doesn't understand
His eyes had turned green in the past few days, and he wanted to go out and help cultivate the land so that he and others could play a part in the development of the village. However, Zhang Yang, the boss of the village, did not say anything, so he did not dare to make a mistake.
On the other side, Zhang Yang was sucked into his soul by two other words.
"Flash flood? Damn, flash flood, grass, why are you so green!"
He turned around and rushed into the rain. He forgot about the flash floods when it rained. At this time, he called himself a pig. No, pigs are smarter than him!
I hope it's not too late now,
It doesn't matter if the castle is washed away, residential buildings cannot be washed away, and farmland cannot be washed away!
"Hey, Lord Lord, you—"
Looking at Zhang Yang's back, Ren was dumbfounded. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You guys, and you, you, you all come out with me and get the guy. It's time to eat well and sleep soundly these days." Proving our loyalty, the lord will not really raise pigs, pigs must be fattened and then killed!"
So in the pouring rain, more than a dozen big men rushed out without hesitation.
At this time, Zhang Yang had already rushed into the castle and kicked out all the guys who were chatting and slapping themselves away from the heavy rain. Regardless of whether you are a craftsman, a farmer or a soldier, you all should go out and dig ditches and dams along the farmland and residential areas. .
As for whether there will be flooding, don't worry about it. We'll dig it first.
Zhang Yang also took matters into his own hands. He threw all his identity as a magician and immortal cultivator aside. In the pouring rain, he seemed to be going crazy. The thunder in the sky kept exploding, and the muddy water on the ground reached his knees. He didn't even think about it. If you know what you are doing specifically, you can only follow a general direction and dig like crazy.
Zhang Yang is not the only one who is so crazy, because in such a heavy rain, there is no point in being lazy. Instead of standing there like a fool and cursing loudly and cursing the village chief whether he is crazy, it is better to vent his anger and resentment like this violent storm. come out.
Everyone has lost their organization, and there is no one to direct how to dig or build dams. Everything can only rely on everyone's own understanding and cooperation with the people around them.
Gradually, a dam actually took shape, but the expected flood did not come. The heavy rain stopped first, the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright sunshine shone down, shining on everyone's face, body, and everything like a drowned rat. People are covered in mud and water, and they can’t recognize who you are, who is he
At this moment, it was very strange. Almost two hundred clay figures were standing awkwardly like this.
Who said there would be flash floods
What are we doing
Suddenly, someone couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was as if a certain valve had been opened. Looking at other embarrassed people and himself, the laughter quickly became contagious.
More than two hundred clay figures laughed unscrupulously without any scruples, because at this moment they could no longer recognize who was who
Amid such laughter, there seemed to be an unspeakable tacit understanding growing.
Everyone feels the kindness of others in their embarrassment.
Everyone laughed in recognition of their ridiculous and useless efforts.
At this moment, at least we are the same, people from the same village.
"You idiots, what are you still doing there? Do you want to freeze to death outside!"
In a residential house, a tough woman suddenly rushed out and shouted loudly, which frightened her man. Just as he was about to rush up and cover the mouth of the stinky woman, he saw a group of clay figures winking, hugging each other, and hugging each other. He was sarcastic and didn't take it seriously. He just filed into the residence under the command of the tough woman, where every household had already heated hot water.
This was originally prepared by the women of each family because they were worried that their husbands would be caught in the rain, but at this moment there is no distinction between them.
After the rain, the sky clears, and the sun is warm and bright.
The air was filled with the surprised and naughty laughter of the children. They all chose to jump in the mud puddles. This joy was like the sky at this moment, pure and clear.
Sitting on a simple wooden stool, Zhang Yang put on a set of clothes that were extremely ill-fitting and full of patches, but they were dry and clean. Up to this moment, no one had recognized him.
Or maybe identity means nothing at the moment.
The soul force field was quietly released, covering the entire village.
He saw Wu Yuan hiding in a corner like a quail and a farmer desperately washing the mud from his body.
He saw Duan Kuan wearing a short shirt with half of his white butt exposed, bragging with a craftsman.
He saw the delicate Wang Shen standing there at a loss, being pointed and laughed at by a group of village women. In the past, he would have been dead and bleeding three feet, but now he couldn't lift his I don’t want to take the big sword either.
He also saw Zhou Datou, shirtless, winking at a few village girls, Minato, this is so shameful, what are you doing!
“Trigger special events in the village and activate village attributes—United as one (1/5).”
"United as one (1/5): Effect: All villagers' loyalty +10, prosperity +100, fights within the village reduced by 20%, incidents of passive sabotage reduced by 20%, family conflicts reduced by 20%, marital conflicts reduced by 20%, The marriage rate increases by 20%. When encountering a small-scale enemy invasion, the villagers will have a chance to automatically organize to fight back, and can obtain an additional 20 recruits."
After seeing these two pieces of information, Zhang Yang's mouth was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth. He never expected that such a funny and hilarious farce could have such an effect.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be replicated. The reason why it was triggered this time is because farmland and residential buildings are closely related to everyone's interests.
Everyone has to eat, and no one can live with food.
So whether it's Wu Yuan, Duan Kuan, Wang Shen's mad swordsmen, or Ren En's people, as well as the craftsmen, farmers, butchers, cooks, and even the old ladies in the houses, they are all eager to protect them. Take care of where you live and protect your farmland.
It is precisely because of such the simplest and most ordinary ideas that hundreds of people who do not know each other, do not know much about each other, and have completely different statuses are grouped together in a violent storm.
This is the reason why the village attribute Unity is activated.
"I'm starting to like this village. This is my own village, and it's also our village. This is probably what everyone here is thinking at this moment. Well, one of our own!"
Zhang Yang suddenly seemed to understand something at this moment. It was about a sense of belonging, about trust, and about a grander and more magnificent concept that he could not fully understand yet.
