Chapter 293 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (43)
In the low-lying Shanxia Village, water began to accumulate in the farms. There were no drainage ditches in the yards, so the rainwater had no place to flow and began to pour into the houses.
The roofs of many villagers had already leaked and it had rained all night. They finally waited for the rain to subside, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another heavy rain came.
It is raining heavily outside and light rain inside, and there is almost no place to stay.
“Oh my god! It was fine a few days ago, but it happens as soon as I say it, and it doesn’t stop. This is not giving people a way to survive!”
“What to do! What to do! How can there be people living in the house!”
The sound of pouring rain covered up the sound of crying.
“It’s long! It’s long!”
The villagers who had gone to see the fields ran to the village head’s house and knocked on the door wildly: “It’s not good, Li Zhang! The river in the village is full and the fields are flooded!”
"What!"
When I heard it, the fields were flooded. This was a big deal!
hurriedly put on my raincoat and hurried to the fields.
After a night of heavy rain, water accumulated in the fields. When the river filled them, the fields turned into a vast ocean.
“It’s going to take my life!”
Li Chang was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
“Quick! Find someone to expand the river and build the ditch!”
“There is no one to help! The roofs of each house are leaking, and the rainwater in the yard cannot be drained out. They are pouring water into the house and are busy scooping water out! What should we do?”
Li Chang regretted it at this moment.
“Alas... why didn’t those people who fled the famine listen to us when they told us about it? Alas...”
The villagers regret it. If I could go back in time, not only would I not laugh at the people of Hope Village, I would join them.
But now, looking at the river that is still overflowing, and all the crops that are submerged in the water, I feel regretful.
The rain is still falling.
Hope that everyone in the village, except the elderly and children, will leave their homes.
Although the drainage ditches were widened, rainwater washed sediment into the drainage ditches, resulting in slow drainage.
We all wore raincoats and wielded hoes to clear the drainage ditches in front of and behind the house and around the fields.
At this time, Shi Feng came to Xu Yin: "Village Chief! The bridge across the river is broken!"
What does it mean when the bridge is broken?
Those at the bottom of the mountain cannot escape.
Xu Yin looked at Shanxia Village from a distance and saw that their fields were flooded by the river, so she guessed that the situation inside the house was not much better.
If the rain continues, Shanxia Village is likely to be flooded.
Their only way to escape was to go up the mountain.
Detour through the wasteland to the Houshan Bamboo Forest. The bamboos in the bamboo forest are densely packed and can provide shelter from the rain for a short period of time.
If that doesn't work, go to the mountain behind. There are many caves on the mountain.
Of course, if they have evil intentions, they may come to rob houses in Hope Village.
So Xu Yin asked Shi Feng to pay attention to the village at the foot of the mountain, and on the one hand, he would help, but on the other hand, he would also be on guard.
I didn’t expect the bridge to be broken…
People in Shanxia Village also found that the bridge was broken.
“He also said that the house can’t withstand such a heavy rain, so we might as well go to a cave to take shelter from the rain. We can’t cross the river now, so what should we do...”
“It’s miles long and the water is still coming up. The water in my house has risen to almost a foot high. There is no place to hide!”
“Li long…”
Sending people to the head of the village one after another, waiting for him to make up his mind.
What can the village chief do? Although his house is built with bricks and tiles, the water keeps coming up, and his house won’t be able to withstand it for long.
After Xu Yin heard about it, she thought about it and asked Shi Feng to pull a cart of sandbags over.
“How long will it take to repair? The first priority is to go up the mountain to take shelter from the rain.”
The sandbags hardened when exposed to water and turned into stepping stones for villagers to cross the river.
The people in Shanxia Village have mixed feelings.
“Our village chief is kind-hearted. He learned that your village was flooded, so he made a room for you to accommodate the elderly and children, so as to avoid getting sick on the way up the mountain.”
“Thank you very much!”
Xu Yin vacated the three first brick houses to temporarily accommodate the elderly and children in Shanxia Village.
Villers are also allowed to store some heavy luggage, such as grain and so on. After all, the mountain roads are not that easy to walk.
"Your terrain is high, and your houses are all made of bricks and tiles. Is there any leakage in the house? Why don't you take us all in?" A village woman from Shanxia Village muttered, "There are many roads in the back mountain! It's raining and the mountain roads are so busy." It’s not easy to walk.”
Someone raised it, and someone else seconded it:
“Yes, you can do well and make a few more rooms for us to live in! We will move out as soon as the rain stops. It’s really inconvenient to go up the mountain.”
“You are here to escape the famine, and we have opened up the land for you so that you can take advantage of it. So what if you help us! We won’t lose your meat!”
What Xu Yin was worried about happened.
The reason why she only takes in the elderly and children is because she is afraid of such a situation.
Each family's house was built by counting the number of people. After all, the bricks and tiles were not rich enough to build as many houses as they wanted.
It's okay to squeeze one or two people into each other, but how can one family and two families live in it?
The two sides started out at odds, and instead of helping others, they only caused resentment.
“Village chief…”
The people of Hope Village certainly don’t want Xu Yin to agree.
If nothing else, just being criticized and made sarcastic remarks by the villagers at the foot of the mountain made them feel unhappy.
Xu Yin gave them a comforting look, turned back to the head of Shanxia Village and said:
"Sorry! Our abilities are limited, and that's all we can help. Before the mountain road is washed away, everyone should go up the mountain and find a cave to hide as soon as possible!"
“You bunch of fleeing ghosts! You are used to fleeing, and you want us to try fleeing too? How cruel!”
"You little **** who has killed a thousand swords, you are so cruel, you will be punished sooner or later!"
Even the people who had thanked Xu Yin profusely because her prescription cured her ascariasis were silent at the moment, allowing others to point at Xu Yin and yell at her.
Some people even raised their fists and glared at the people of Hope Village fiercely: "I'll beat you guys to death! Don't save me until you die!"
"If I were so cruel that I wouldn't save you, I wouldn't even need to lend you the sandbags! What were you doing while we were sewing the sandbags? Laughing at us for being stupid? Secretly scolding us for being stupid?" Xu Yin said coldly, "In that case, Just leave!”
"This is not okay! The elderly and children can't bear it." The chief wiped the rain from his face and hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.
“Chief, what nonsense are you talking to them about! There are so many of us, why are we afraid that we can’t defeat them? Let’s just blow them all away! It’s our territory to begin with, and it’s easier for them to open up wasteland for them!”
“That’s right!”
Xu Yin lowered her face, picked up the rake in her hand, and threw it at the man who encouraged the villagers to fight.
The thick iron teeth were nailed into the stone slab in front of the man's toes, making a dull sound, and the iron rake handle vibrated and made a resonance sound of "buzzing".
The whole place was silent except for the heavy rain.
"grass!"
The voice of all.
They can drive an iron rake into the soil, but they can drive it into a stone slab and still stand it up. Who can do that?
The head of Hope Village is obviously a tough guy!
Who can beat this?
"Ahem, you bastard! Whose family do you belong to? You make noise all day long!" The village chief started to round up the place and called out the people in his village, "Let's go, let's go! Hurry up the mountain! Leave the old and the children behind! You can take care of the food of each family." Go ahead and deposit it quickly and be polite!"
…”
This time, no one dared to refute. They glanced at Xu Yin secretly and ran as fast as they could.
