Chapter 256 (1/2)

Xiaodong lies in the window, outside the spring rain patters on and on. The river beside the town has been frozen and snowy, and the sound of water is from slow to rapid and murmuring.

”It's getting warmer every day.” Jiang Fan put out his probe and said, ”as soon as the rain stops, maybe I can't wear cotton padded clothes.”

At the place where he grew up, Jiang Fan had a late night's rest, but he had never had a solid sleep in these days.

It's better outside than at home.

Even the wheat straw stored in the inn was soaked in the rain and had a damp smell. He felt very kind. At night, I felt vaguely that I heard the sound of running water.

”But the water seems to be faster than before...”

At this time of the past year, the sound of the river seems not so clear. It sounds rich in water, which is not comparable to that in previous years.

He said it casually, but Xiaodong suddenly became nervous: ”really? There are more rivers than ever before? ”

Jiang Fan didn't know how he was suddenly concerned about this matter. It doesn't matter whether there are many rivers or not? Why is it so tense?

The thought of returning to the mountain now is different from the past - that's not a small matter this year.

Jiang Fan was also a little nervous: ”yesterday came too late, did not have a close look, or we go to have a look now.”

The town is not big. The river flows right north of the town. In fact, the river flows down from the mountains. There are snow water and spring water from the mountains. They flow into the river together and flow down the mountain. People in the town live by the river. Because the river is clean and clear, many people directly draw water from here and go back to cook. This is what they have been doing over the years. Two bridge boards were built along the river, one longer. The end of the bridge has reached the middle of the river. It is the place where people who are washing rice and vegetables get water. One piece is shorter. It's by the river. It's a place for laundry. The two can't be mixed up because the water in the middle of the river moves faster, and naturally it's cleaner than the water by the river.

Although Jiang Fan didn't live in the town, he often went down the mountain and knew this very well.

But now he saw the difference. It is said that there is plenty of water in summer and dry in winter. Now it is just beginning of spring. The water level in the river should be very low. But now it seems that the river water which has just been thawed is almost overflowing, and the long bridge slab is almost submerged by the river. Just when they came, there were people who came to carry water. They did not dare to carry water to the middle of the river, so they randomly scooped two barrels along the river. All the people in the town recognized the white background and blue edge of Huihui mountain's Dao Fu. He didn't dare to walk in front of them. He was afraid that the water would spill on their shoes. He wanted to make a detour. As a result, Jiang Fan went to talk to him.

The man quickly put down his shoulder pole and listened with fear.

”The snow in the middle of the mountain has not yet melted. The water in this river seems to flow faster than usual?”

The water bearer said, ”yes, the fairy said so. At this time of the past year, the river has not yet melted. If you want to get water, you can either go to the well at the west end of the town to carry water, or break the river surface. 80% of this year's snow melted early? It didn't seem so high yesterday

Xiaodong heart a jump: ”yesterday is not high?”

”Yes.” The man made a comparison: ”the water just reached the line yesterday, this evening...” It's strange that the river has risen two feet at night.
