Chapter 201 Observing the water level(1/2)
Another day passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Zhe's tree house had been paved with floors.
The entire tree house is about a little smaller than the small wooden house at the foot of the mountain, but living in Chen Zhe, Yan'er and the Qiao sisters is enough.
Besides, it rains all year round during the rainy season, so the temperature in the tree house must not be high, and the space is smaller, so it is convenient for the four of them to squeeze together to hug each other to keep warm.
I spent another night on the mountain, and it started drizzling in the forest at night.
After the light rain ends, dawn also comes.
The next morning, when Xiao Qiao was still sleeping in the wolf skin, Chen Zhe walked towards the top of the mountain with a blood-drinking knife.
The hot spring is not far from the top of the mountain, so it doesn't take too long to see the source of most of the rivers on this island.
After about forty minutes of trekking, Chen Zhe arrived at the top of the mountain. The scene on the top was spectacular, and you could look down at most of the island when you looked back.
But because the island was too humid at this time, looking back from the top of the mountain, it was misty below. Not to mention the camp at the foot of the mountain in the distance, he could not even see the hot springs and small tree houses that were slightly closer.
And after walking two more steps forward, Chen Zhe came to the source of the river.
The source of the river is a lake with a large and positive surface. At this time, the lake is filled with water, and the rivers on the mountain are formed by the water in the lake overflowing and flowing down.
It seems that this lake should have been the crater of this volcano. After the volcano is dormant, a large amount of fresh water has accumulated due to the low-lying terrain.
Now that the rainy season is approaching, the precipitation has suddenly increased, and the amount of water overflowing in the lakes has increased, which has led to an increase in the water level of rivers on the islands.
As for whether there will be floods on the islands behind, you can actually guess the situation of the lake just by looking at it.
Chen Zhe walked around the lake and soon discovered the problem.
Due to the rapid rise in water levels, some embankments around the lake have been loosened under the impact of the lake.
If the water level continues to be at this level or even continues to rise, the embankment of the lake is very likely to collapse, and a large amount of accumulated water will flow out of the lake and rush to the bottom of the mountain. In this way, floods and disasters will inevitably occur.
Judging from the current firmness of the embankment and the rainfall in recent days, the collapse of the embankment is probably around the corner.
"It seems that I have to transfer Yan'er and the others to the mountain as soon as possible..."
Chen Zhe said worriedly,
"It's too dangerous at the foot of the mountain. Maybe it's possible to encounter floods at any time."
...
After observing the water level, Chen Zhe immediately returned to the tree house.
At this time, Xiao Qiao, who was sleeping in, had woken up and was lying in the quilt, eating the pomfret that had just been roasted yesterday.
Seeing Chen Zhe come back, Xiao Qiao asked, "Chen Zhe, where did you go early in the morning? I'm so scared to leave me alone in the tree house."
Chen Zhe couldn't help but complain: "I'm afraid of it! Look, you eat grilled fish so happily."
"Tsk..." Xiao Qiao stuck out her tongue and retorted, "I don't know how to be polite to the fragrance and jade at all."
Chen Zhe was too lazy to talk to this funny guy and urged: "Get up quickly, we have to go to the foot of the mountain to connect Yan'er and the others. The water level at the top of the mountain is already very high, and the embankment will collapse at any time to cause floods and floods. The foot of the mountain is very dangerous, so they have to move immediately."
"What? Get them up so soon? But the tree house has not been built yet." Xiao Qiao questioned.
"You can build a tree house when they come up and build it together. There is no need to build it now. There are many people and strong forces, so building a house will be more efficient." Chen Zhe said.
Xiao Qiao nodded and quickly gnawed all the grilled fish in her hand in a few bites, then climbed down the tree house and followed Chen Zhe all the way down the mountain.
...
At this moment.
In the camp at the foot of the mountain.
Yan'er had just packed up the bowls and chopsticks for breakfast, so she climbed up the watchtower and looked towards the mountain.
Although she said that she was not worried about Chen Zhe and believed that Chen Zhe and Xiao Qiao would take good care of themselves, but Chen Zhe hadn't come back for two days, and the little girl was inevitably worried.
What if they encounter a geological disaster?
What if you encounter a wild beast on the mountain?
What if you get lost in the rain forest and can’t find the direction you come back?
On this dangerous island, danger is everywhere. Even though Chen Zhe is a clever person, Yan'er can't help but worry about him.
At this time, Da Qiao came out of the wooden house and looked up and saw Yan'er on the watchtower.
She knew that Yan'er was concerned about Chen Zhe and Xiao Qiao, and she and Yan'er were consistent in this regard.
"How is it? Are there any traces of Chen Zhe and Meng Fei?" Da Qiao also asked with concern.
Yan'er shook her head helplessly: "No, it seems that they have not gone down the mountain yet, maybe..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he talked about this, he saw two small figures walking down the hillside. From a distance, the two figures looked like two big ants, but Yan'er had a good look and found it at a glance.
"No! Sister Da Qiao! They seem to be back! I saw two figures! I saw two figures!"
Yan'er was so happy that she was already incoherent.
When he heard Yan'er's good news, Da Qiao quickly climbed up the watchtower with both hands and feet.
"Let me see it too."
She struggled to climb up, then followed Yan'er's guidance and looked towards the direction of the hillside.
At this time, the outlines of the two people in the distance had become much clearer. It can be seen that one of them had a slightly stronger and taller figure. He should be a man, while the figure next to him was petite and thin, and he should be a girl.
"It should be them?" Da Qiao said happily, "One man and one woman, it must be Chen Zhe and Meng Fei!"
"It must be them." Yan'er also said confidently.
The two sisters stood on the watchtower so obsessedly, waiting for the two people in the distance to approach.
After about ten minutes, they finally walked over from the distant hillside.
At this time, Yan'er had already clearly recognized Chen Zhe and Xiao Qiao, and this distance was enough to identify the identities of the two.
"Brother Xiao Chen! Sister Xiao Qiao!"
Yan'er couldn't help but shout, and the voice spread from afar from the camp.
Even Da Qiao, who had always been dignified and shy, shouted loudly: "Chen Zhe! Meng Fei!"
Chen Zhe and Xiao Qiao, who were outside the camp in the distance, heard these two familiar calls and immediately waved to the direction of the watchtower. Although they had only separated for two days and two nights, on this dangerous island, it was already worrying and life was like a year.
After the two of them approached the camp, Yan'er and Daqiao immediately climbed down the watchtower and opened the camp gate to greet them.
The four finally met again, Yan'er hugged Chen Zhe tightly, while Da Qiao hugged her sister tightly, and snuggled together with each other.
"Why did you come back so long? I thought you were in danger..." Yan'er leaned gently in Chen Zhe's arms and asked shyly.
"I did have some trouble." Chen Zhe said bluntly, "But don't worry, the trouble has been solved by me."
The four of them returned to the cabin together and sat on the spacious and warm big bed.
Yan'er poured four cups of warm water with four bamboo tubes, and some fresh mint leaves were soaked in the warm water.
Xiao Qiao took a sip of warm water, and couldn't help but squint her eyes and sighed: "It's better to go home..."
Chen Zhe recounted the story of the landslide the day before yesterday, and Yan'er and Da Qiao were shocked and sweated.
"I just said that such a loud noise came from the mountain. There must be some geological disaster..." Da Qiao said with lingering fear, "Thanks to you two of you who are lucky and lucky, you escaped a disaster."
Yan'er couldn't help but hug Chen Zhe's arm and said tremblingly: "Brother Chen, I would rather not have the bonus and would rather withdraw from the competition than let something happen to you..."
Chen Zhe smiled and patted Yan'er's back of his hand, comforting him: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Then the topic changed and said seriously: "But I went to the top of the mountain to check the water source. The situation of the water source on the top of the mountain is no longer optimistic. I think if there are heavy rains in a few days, the nearby river water will definitely be more flooded, and our camp will also be affected by floods and disasters..."
"So we have to move, right?" Yan'er asked.
"What? Move? Leave our cabin?" Da Qiao said in surprise, "But we just built a clay wall, and there are so many reserved food in the camp..."
"It is precisely because of these reserved grains that we have to move." Chen Zhe said, "Once the flood disaster comes, not only will our reserved grains be flooded, but they may reflux and rot, and even we have no place to stay and the bonfire cannot be lit..."
Yan'er also nodded and said, "Yes, once the camp is soaked in the flood disaster, it will turn into a big puddle..."
"This is true. We must avoid floods..." Da Qiao pondered.
And at this moment, another familiar voice suddenly came from outside the camp.
"Chen Zhe! Sister Yan'er! Are you here?"
This was Liatira's voice, and it sounded like she came to visit her.
Hearing her voice, Yan'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Today is really lively. Brother Chen and the others are back, and Sister Xiaoli is here to play..."
The four of them quickly got up from the bed, walked out of the cabin and greeted them.
"We are here," Chen Zhe said.
As soon as he left the door, he saw Leatira.
However, this time, Liatilla did not come alone, and Clark also protected him with him. The islands in the rainy season were even more dangerous. Perhaps Clark was worried that Liatilla would be in danger of acting alone.
A few days ago, Yan'er was worried about whether Leatilla's new camp was built. After all, it was raining too frequently these days, but now it seems that she and Clark are quite decent, which shows that the new camp should be well built.
The two were standing outside the camp at this time, holding some strange golden fruits in their hands.
Yan'er looked carefully and whispered: "Huh? Are they carrying... pineapple?"
