After a night's work, the water has reached half of the defense platform. The main streets of the village were also flooded, and every house was flooded, and from time to time there was the sound of the earthen wall collapsing, and people guessed whose yard and house it was based on the general direction.

The courtyard walls of the villagers are almost all made of clay, that is, houses, and there are very few mixed bricks, most of them are twelve rows of bricks below, several brick stacks are made on top, and clay is stacked into an earthen wall in the middle. After the flood, the earthen wall soon collapsed.

The sound of the wall collapsing kept coming, and the faces of the people became more and more ugly, and some women and old people shed tears. No one didn't open their mouths to persuade them, and they may not be the next one.

Youyou's house and the second master's house, although they are outside the village, are still standing because they are mixed brick courtyard walls. The village forest in Banhuali effectively prevented the flood, and the homestead foundation was not greatly affected.

There were all kinds of things floating on the water, furniture, household items, bedding, clothes, carcasses of pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs, firewood and wood, and uprooted trees.

The floating thing was stopped by the village guard and stopped outside the forest. When encountering larger trees, there was a thumping sound, and many willow trees with thick mouths were broken.

When the old man saw this, his face changed suddenly, and he knelt on the ground and prayed. My uncle and grandfather whispered to everyone: "This is a village upstream that fell into the river, I don't know how many people were injured?"

You took a closer look, some of the big trees that came were almost one meter in diameter, how much power did this have to uproot such a thick tree, no wonder grandma said that water and fire are ruthless.

The old people sighed: "People say that there are eggs in the river beach (family property), and there has been no big flood in the past ten years, and everyone is careless." In the future, we have to continue to build the foundation of the homestead. ”

Eggs are in stock, this description is really apt.

The manned lifeboat was washed down by the river for more than 1,000 meters, and when it reached the production embankment, it slowly approached the shore. Due to the strong water, the lifeboat did not dare to come for a second trip. In order to take care of everyone, my uncle and grandfather didn't go out of any of their families. When you are on the defense platform, you can hear the cry of the eldest aunt and her mother.

The faces of the militiamen who stayed behind have changed, there are not many children left in the village, there is no noise of children, and the atmosphere is quite depressing. By noon, everyone was not even in the mood to eat.

The well water prepared yesterday is almost exhausted, guarding the flood everywhere, but the defense platform is facing the dilemma of water cut-off.

The group found two large earthen urns, tied them to the tree by the defense platform with iron wire, put a washed stone in the urn, sank the urns in the river water, and used the earthen urns to filter the river water to eat.

Youyou pestered grandma to see, without an adult to lead, the child should not think of going to the edge of the platform. Grandma knew Youyou's secret, so she led her to see the rarity. Not to mention, this method of filtering water is quite good, and the water in the urn is quite clear.

Yoyo not only put disinfectant in it, but also took the opportunity to add a lot of water to it. If you point to these two urns, you will not have enough to eat. There are also many livestock, which are used more than man.

Since the forage of each family did not brought, except for the feed for the chickens, the forage was used by the team, and the team prepared a lot of forage anyway.

To say that young people still have big hearts, "high and high" them, holding long poles, scooping up wood and furniture floating in the water, and putting them on the anti-platform to dry.

After the alleviation of the village forest, the water potential reached the defense platform, and it was relatively relaxed. There wasn't much firewood on the platform, and no one stopped them.

In the evening, the flood water was still more than two meters from the top of the platform. Most of the houses in the village have exposed roofs, the walls are soaked in water, and the sound of collapse can no longer be heard. A few low-rise old houses have all been soaked in water.

There are more people shouting on the embankment of the Yellow River, most of them from their own villages. The comrades of the flood control headquarters shouted every 10 minutes or so, mainly asking how high the flood water was from the defense platform. According to them, the flood water is less than two meters from the top of the Yellow River embankment.

Katsuo's aunt stayed on the embankment for a day and didn't go back until dark. The shouting voice was hoarse, and his father accompanied her and stayed on the embankment for a day.

My aunt said worriedly: "This time I frightened her, she is still young, and there is another one in her belly, and I don't know how to pay attention." ”

Aunt Chaoxia's maiden house and aunt's maiden house were also guarded on the embankment, shouting to ask about the situation every once in a while, and they didn't go back until dark.

Looking from the defense platform to the embankment, there are more and more PLA troops wearing green uniforms. According to online records, this flood was the largest flow in history, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

The people who stayed at home calmed down, and everyone really believed it this time, and the defense platform was built according to the height of the embankment, and the people who stayed were absolutely safe.

Instead, they were worried about the safety of the embankment, and if it burst, those who went out would not be as safe as those who stayed, and the militia began to worry about their families.

Everyone ate dinner without knowing the taste, and continued to sit together and worry. Several fires were lit on the edge of the platform to prevent rats and insects from coming up. In fact, Yoyo has sprinkled insect repellent medicine around the area, and they have long avoided this place.

Fortunately, when they got up on the morning of July 4, everyone found that the flood had stopped, and it was still two meters away from the top of the platform. The hearts that everyone has been carrying have finally let go.

Although the river no longer rose, the speed of the flow was still very high, and the ships of the troops still did not dare to leave the shore. When the militia ran out of flour, the village collected the flour from each family, let them eat it first, and then the team would compensate for it.

After breakfast, the women were arranged to grind the noodles, and some of the team had wheat, and there was a mill on the defense platform, and the livestock were idle, although the grinding was not enough for everyone to eat, they could supplement it somewhat.

After another day, on July 5, the ships of the troops came, and this time there were many ships, and the boats were also larger, and the larger ones could seat more than 30 people. My uncle first arranged to send out the militia stranded in Hantun.

Along with the ships came a lot of provisions, flour, noodles, salt, soybean oil, etc., all of which were necessities of life. In addition, there are more than a dozen kerosene stoves and a large barrel of 200 catties of kerosene.

Grandma and Grandpa took the Youyou brothers and sisters, and their uncles and grandmothers were the last to go out. After going up the embankment, they were organized together by the comrades of the commune and lined up to receive a living allowance, which was similar to the supplies brought in by the boat.

Not only are there daily necessities such as washbasins and towels, but there are also donated clothes, although they are not new, they are all washed cleanly, and there are few patches, which is a good thing now.

The eldest aunt's family was waiting on the embankment, and the third aunt cried when she saw her aunt. Uncle and grandmother gently supported her back: "Silly child, why don't you listen to persuasion, you are still pregnant with one, and you don't know how to take care of yourself." ”

The family settled in the yard that the eldest aunt was looking for, and the eldest aunt's maiden family had already cleaned up the yard and prepared all the pots and pans. The third aunt also brought a lot of things, and life is basically no problem.
