Chapter 67: Meng Xinhe’s Beaver House is gone, Chen Chuan: Let’s rebuild it together!
A thunderstorm of this magnitude lasted for more than an hour before slowly stopping.
Chen Chuan put on his raincoat and rain boots, gave some instructions to the animals in the cabin, and walked out.
This time, the Husky understood what was best for him and did not follow out.
Chen Chuan walked all the way to the river area. He had to go and see what was going on there.
But before he reached the river, he heard the sound of rushing water just in the woods.
Chen Chuan walked a few steps forward and then he could see it clearly.
The water in this river was originally extremely clear, so clear that even the swimming of the fish in the river could be seen clearly.
But now the waves are rolling, and the surging river water is pale yellow. Obviously, this is the mud and sand washed down from the upper reaches.
The water level of the river also rose abnormally.
The warning signs and slogans he had put up before were washed away by the flood.
This can definitely be called a flash flood.
Chen Chuan suddenly thought of the beaver and sighed in his heart.
Beavers' homes are usually built in water, or beside rivers or streams.
But under such a terrible mountain torrent, no one knows what happened to the beaver.
Chen Chuan stood in the woods and watched for a long time before slowly walking back home.
Life is nothing in the face of the mighty power of nature.
For several days in a row, the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand into a never-ending curtain of water.
The torrential rain poured down like a galloping horse, hitting the earth hard.
In the past few days, Chen Chuan and the little animals have been staying in the house and have not been able to go out.
During this period, he learned through the Internet that not only Altay, but various regions across the country were affected by the heavy rains in the past few days.
Short video platforms are full of popular videos about floods.
Seeing the scenes in the videos, Chen Chuan looked up and looked at his roof.
At this moment, he was very glad that he had repaired the roof, otherwise the bucket would not be able to hold so much rain.
Fortunately, the terrain of Altay where Chen Chuan was located was high, and his wooden house was built on the top of the slope. Otherwise, if a mountain torrent broke out, this purely natural wooden house would not be able to withstand the impact.
I glanced out the window and saw that the rain had slowed down.
"It's time to go out and take a look."
Chen Chuan stood up and put on a raincoat and rain boots.
Several of the sleeping animals woke up immediately and looked at Chen Chuan, their eyes flashing with eagerness to try.
They have been staying in the house these days and are getting bored.
But Chen Chuan didn't want to let them go out.
Not to mention that it is raining outside, the road surface is not suitable for animals to walk on.
It was too muddy.
After walking out of the wooden house and closing the door, Chen Chuan stepped on the ground.
"Snapped!"
Sure enough, mud and water splashed everywhere.
His own courtyard had been treated for drainage, but it still looked like it was flooded. It wasn't that the sinks he made were useless. At first glance, there wasn't much water in them, and it had obviously flowed out.
All we can say is that the rain was too heavy and there was too much rain, so the drainage speed could not keep up with the speed at which the land absorbed water.
Chen Chuan took another look at the vegetable garden.
Fortunately, the vegetables are still alive.
Perhaps it was because it was noon when Chen Chuan went out, the drizzle had stopped by the time Chen Chuan walked all the way to the river.
The flooding in that river wasn't as severe as it had been a few days ago, but it was still pretty severe.
Chen Chuan walked to the river bank, which was a little soft due to being washed and soaked by the flood.
Suddenly, he saw a tan figure on the other side of the river.
Then came the second, third, and fourth.
A total of four Mengxin beavers appeared on the opposite bank and looked at Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan was able to recognize that the leading one was the one he was familiar with.
Because the beaver is larger and its fur is darker.
Watching them looking pitifully at the flowing river, Chen Chuan could tell that these beavers were gone.
They were probably just making do in the woods these past few days.
Suddenly, I heard the barking of a Husky behind me.
When Chen Chuan turned around, he knew that this guy had followed him all the way because of his scent.
Seeing that all four of its legs were dyed, Chen Chuan was speechless.
But since it was already here, he was too lazy to care about it and just rinsed it with water and it would be clean.
The beaver swam to Chen Chuan with its three family members.
Chen Chuan smoothed the guy's hair.
"It's okay. If we lose our home, we can just build another one."
As Chen Chuan spoke, he gestured to the beavers and walked upstream.
The river here is too narrow and the water flow is too fast, which is not suitable for beavers to build nests.
Chen Chuan came to an area where the river was relatively wide, and happened to see the collapsed river bank on the opposite side.
Chen Chuan pointed with a strange look on his face.
"Isn't that your former home?"
The beavers nodded as if they understood.
[Ding! The beaver's home has been destroyed. Issue a task: Assist the beaver to rebuild their home! ]
Oh boy, another mission finally arrived.
Fortunately, this mission is very simple.
Chen Chuan said to the beavers:
"It's okay, where we fall is where we stand up!"
Chen Chuan walked to the river bank and pointed at it.
"This is it. I think the feng shui here is good. Let's build our home here!"
The beavers looked at Chen Chuan's actions, looked at each other, and then the leading beaver stood up.
"Gu'er~"
It barked, as if giving an order.
The remaining three beavers also started calling out, and all the others responded.
Erha's eyes sparkled and he barked twice.
This time the beavers were at a loss, and the four heads looked at Erha with confusion. Erha also tilted his head and looked over with confusion.
Soon the four beavers arranged the division of labor.
Beaver dens are usually built near a river or in water, half above the water and half under the water.
The entrance to the den is usually below the water surface, which protects the beaver from natural enemies.
Therefore, the division of labor was that one beaver dug a hole, two beavers gnawed wood, and one beaver moved branches.
Chen Chuan saw them moving and found it interesting, so he started a live broadcast.
"It's on air, it's on air, Ranger Xiao Chen is finally on air!"
"The missing people have returned. I thought the anchor had become arrogant because he had so many fans that he didn't even want to broadcast live anymore."
"Stop talking nonsense. Look, what's on the anchor's screen?"
"According to my deduction, these should be four animals."
"The person upstairs is simply a genius. You have already won my approval."
Chen Chuan explained to the live broadcast room.
"These are four Mengxin beavers, a first-class national protected animal that is good at gnawing trees and building dams."
"You see, they are now preparing to build a dam and also to repair their own houses."
"To prevent attacks from predators, beavers build their dens in water. To prevent water from entering their dens, they build dams outside the water to block the flow of water."
At this time, the big beaver was walking back and forth on the shore, jumping into the water from time to time, as if he was investigating.
"This is preparation before building the nest and choosing a suitable location."
After looking for a minute or two, the beaver finally chose a specific location and began to dig.
PS: There is one more chapter after midnight! It has been scheduled!
