Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 224 Can’t wait

Unlike Donghe Commune, in Xingping Commune, after Huang Yue discussed with the commune director Hou Wan'an, Huang Yue and his party directly stayed in the homes of local people.

The trip to Xingping Commune went smoothly, and they got the desired results with almost no obstacles.

The bantam chickens of Yang County really live up to their reputation. Apart from their small size, all other physiological indicators make them good candidates, especially in terms of food intake and leg muscle strength, which are far superior to other breeds.

Huang Yue was so excited about this discovery that he didn't sleep well the whole night, and he was still able to continue working in high spirits the next day.

Under the scorching sun, Huang Yue narrowed his eyes into slits and said with emotion, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that we could find such an excellent resource group this time."

Gu Zhan also sat on the ground next to Huang Yue, staring at the flat ground in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

Huang Yue turned around and saw Gu Zhan, who was lost in thought. He stood up, patted Gu Zhan on the shoulder and said, "Pack up. We'll be back tomorrow."

Gu Zhan came back to his senses and was a little surprised that Huang Yue's decision was so quick.

"Are you not going to take another look?"

Huang Yue thought for a moment and said, "The indicators of this bantam chicken are exactly in line with our expectations. To be honest, I can't wait to see the results."

Gu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, Mr. Huang."

When I woke up the next morning, the weather was not very good. It was a change from the good weather in the previous period, and there was a little more moisture in the air.

"It might rain heavily soon, let's hurry up," Wen Chunming urged.

In a hurry, the three of them had already boarded the brigade's tractor to the county town. Along the way, the three of them held their luggage in their arms, for fear that it would hit the breeding eggs they bought from the local people.

Yes, they are breeding eggs. Considering the long journey, they can only buy some breeding eggs from local people and take them back to incubate them.

The tractor was moving on the flat gravel road, stirring up clouds of dust. When they arrived at Yang County, the three men were already covered in dust.

Especially the two young men, Gu Zhan and Wen Chunming, their dark and shiny hair was covered with dust, and it was almost impossible to see the original color of their hair. Even their eyebrows were covered with dirt.

When they arrived at the county town, the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

In the end, because they were covered in dirt and looked so dirty, the three of them went to the guesthouse to check in a room. After washing up, they got up and went to the Yang County Agricultural Bureau.

Fan Jianjun saw the three people and warmly welcomed them in: "How is it going? Is everything going well?"

Huang Yue smiled brightly and said, "We also have to thank Director Fan for his great help. This made our work on this trip go smoothly."

"As long as it goes smoothly, as long as it goes smoothly, it's just a matter of course. By the way, what do you think of it?"

"Our yellow chickens and bantam chickens are truly worthy of their reputations. Their meat is indeed delicious."

"Of course, hahaha."

Before leaving, Fan Jianjun handed Huang Yue a bag of eggs brought from Donghe Commune: "This is from our Donghe Commune. Let me pass it on to you."

Huang Yue tested the amount in his hand and found it was more than he expected.

The next morning, the three of them picked up their bags again and headed to the city in the rain.

The shuttle bus struggled forward on the winding mountain road. Raindrops hit the glass, forming a thick curtain of rain. The driver cursed the sudden bad weather as he drove forward. The passengers in the bus dared not make a sound, their hearts rising and falling with the bumps of the bus.

Gu Zhan looked at the rain outside the window and felt a little worried.

Fortunately, the climb up the mountain was smooth, and it was not until the descent began that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as they went further down, more water accumulated on the road and the gravel road surface showed signs of being washed away by the rain, and everyone's hearts were once again hanging in the balance.

The further we went down, the deeper the marks left by rain on the gravel road became. Finally, with a sound of brakes, the bus stopped.

The driver shouted, "The road ahead has been washed away. We can't get through."

As soon as the words fell, the carriage suddenly became restless.

It’s raining so hard and the road is impassable. It’s really dangerous to stay halfway up the mountain.

Suddenly, someone said, "Master, let's go down and pave the road to see if we can pass. It's not a good idea to stop halfway up the mountain."

"Yes, let's move forward. The mountain beside the road often drops rocks when it rains. It's very dangerous."

"Ah, that's right, Master. Please think of a solution for us."

The bus driver had been driving back and forth on this road for several years, so he naturally knew the road conditions on this section. At this moment, he was very worried. It was indeed not appropriate to leave such a large busload of people halfway up the mountain.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, the driver said, "Fellow villagers, if you are willing, please get off the bus with me and fill the road."

"no problem."

As soon as the driver said this, the men in the car responded one after another, rubbing their hands and getting ready to get off.

As the car door opened, raindrops were blown into the car by the wind. Gu Zhan shuddered and his drowsy mind regained some consciousness.

I caught a cold last night and now I have a fever and feel a little dizzy.

"I'll go down and help, you stay in the car." Huang Yue knew that Gu Zhan had a fever and was afraid that he would get wet in the rain if he went down with them, so he gave him a warning. Then he put the luggage on his knees on the seat and got off the car with everyone else.

The heavy rain washed over the warm bodies, and soon, everyone's clothes were completely wet.

This is the only road connecting the city and the county, where accidents often occur. The driver is experienced, so he put a lot of tools on the car. As soon as everyone got off the car, they were given a shovel and started to get busy.

A half-meter-deep ditch was washed out on the road in front of me, and the crack continued to deepen as the rainwater flowing down from the mountain on the right side of the road continued to wash away the ditch.

At first, everyone filled the broken part with soil from the side of the road, but they didn't expect that the soil would be washed away by the rain as soon as it was put in.

The driver saw this and said loudly, "It's raining too hard. The mud won't work. Let's put some of the rocks over there in here and cover it with mud."

"Okay, let's go move the stones."

Everyone agreed and started to move the stones.

The place with stones is a short distance away from the road surface that was washed away by water. After going back and forth, a layer of stones was laid underneath.

Seeing that the rain was not decreasing at all, Gu Zhan decided to go down and join the group moving stones. The only section of the road they encountered now was blocked by water. The further down they went, the more rainwater there was on the ground. They didn't know what was going on. The longer they delayed, the more unknown dangers they would face.

Gu Zhan carefully placed the luggage in his hand on the seat and dived into the rain.

Seeing that the sick people got off the bus to help, the women in the bus could no longer hold back and joined everyone in moving the stones.
