Chapter 130: Flood Peak Transit
Flood peak transit.
Hongfeng crossed the border again
Entering August, storms and rains come from time to time, after the heavy rain, even if the sun is shining, the water level still rises again and again to hit a record high, and the people of Shanlin City are terrified and unable to sleep at night!
By mid-August, the buildings on Binhe Street had been so flooded that they couldn't even see the roofs, because of the flood discharge, the water level exceeded expectations, the banks of the upper reaches of Shanlin City burst their banks, and the streets and alleys of the city were flooded, and they once fell into the dilemma of cutting off water and electricity.
Rural houses collapsed and fertile fields were flooded, washed away by water, crushed to death by collapsed houses, stoned to death, and buried by mudslides, almost every day.
At first, the people in the courtyard went out to buy vegetables, and they could also row a raft through the low-lying part of the terrain, but then the water gradually flooded the first floor of the family home, and the people in this area had to accept the government's arrangement to collectively move to the Shanlin Gymnasium, one of the resettlement sites for the victims.
"Lao Li! You still have a long-term vision and didn't let the child come back for the summer vacation! I didn't expect the water to be so big this year!"
The teachers of Shanlin No. 2 Middle School all gathered together, because they were carrying a dog, and Li Fengxia's bunk was in a corner of the gymnasium.
Fortunately, this is summer, the accommodation is easy to deal with, a mat is spread for one person, and the bed is covered with an air-conditioned quilt, which is a temporary place to stay.
This condition is not good, and it is fortunate to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Li Fengxia was distracted, listened to Teacher Tao's words, and knew that she was bored and wanted to talk, so it was not good to ignore her.
"The child is not at home, and there is less worry, we have all suffered hardships, how can it be arranged, change this pampered, in this case, I am afraid that I will cry. Speaking of which, this child is very tough, just like her father, knowing that there is a lot of water in the house, so she wants to come back, and I really tried my best to keep her at school. ”
"Well, who's to say it's not? ”
Looking at his grandson who was eating bread with tears in his arms, Mr. Tao sighed while unscrewing a bottle of mineral water in distress and sending it to his grandson's skinning mouth.
"Wow, grandma, I want Wahaha!"
A two- or three-year-old doll is not sensible, and sometimes it is difficult to speak, so how can he understand what is going on? He only knows that there is no good food and drink recently.
Children don't understand what natural disasters are, how can adults not understand?
Teacher Tao's tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled for a long time before he hugged his grandson and persuaded:
"There's no wahaha here, when we get home, grandma will buy it for you." ”
The suffering of children is the most painful thing for every elder, but what can be done about it? The resettlement sites for the victims even have a lot of mineral water, not to mention the gadgets that children like.
The flood has been raging for more than a month, and the outside materials cannot be brought in, and most of the local factories have been suspended, and the materials are seriously scarce, and there is no money to buy things.
To be honest, when this kind of thing happens, it is already a good policy to have steamed bread to satisfy hunger.
Ever since he left home and stayed at the gymnasium, the child had to cry almost every day.
Maybe he was ignorant, but he instinctively felt the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere in the air.
finally coaxed his grandson, and Mr. Tao chatted with Li Fengxia again:
"I don't know what happened to my family, and I don't know when the flood will recede. We haven't lived in our new house for a few years! I'm afraid the walls are going to be destroyed, so many belongings, I should have chosen the upstairs if I knew it, I shouldn't have listened to my family, I said that I was too lazy to climb the stairs, maybe the second floor couldn't be flooded."
Lin Yi didn't come back in Beijing, Li Fengxia was at home for half of her mind, and she couldn't help but sigh when she heard her companions worrying.
Although all the valuables were brought out with her, there were so many things in the house, but they were all saved over decades, her books, her bedding, furniture, and electrical appliances
"I'm afraid it's not going to be flooded! It's been so fierce for the past two days, I don't dare to go back to see it. Anyway, all the bags that should be put on the bags are covered, and the ones that should be packed are also loaded, so let it be fate! Alas! I just bought the TV set last year, and I originally thought that the child would have a rare college entrance examination, and it would be easy and easy, but I haven't watched it a few times, so I have to cheapen those water ghosts!"
Teacher Tao couldn't help but sneer!
"Where in this world are water ghosts! Still watching TV? We're all gardeners who spread science! You old fellow, don't teach my grandson badly!"
"Cut~ Let me teach me or not! I have taught a champion! You still hate me!"
"Heh, I've always been teaching physics!"
Trapped here, the two are also bored, so they will fight from time to time.
In the big gymnasium, the mats are neatly spread, and the citizens have nothing to do here, except to shake the fan irritably and look at the sky, that is, to watch TV and gossip.
The government is very generous, and in order to ease the mood of the people, two large color TVs are hung high in the gymnasium, which will be turned on as long as there is no power outage.
The two old ladies were arguing, and when they glanced around, they saw CCTV news reporting on the government's various disaster relief matters.
The camera stayed for a few seconds, and the two of them locked on the slender figure on the TV wearing a black and white suit and holding a folder in front of the camera.
"Lao Li, Lao Li, this is our Xiaoyi, right? Why do I look so similar!"
Lin Yi's appearance is not amazing, but she has a temperament, even if she stands in the crowd, she is also a special one!
"Hmm, what you just said on TV was the International Disaster Relief Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Li Fengxia coughed lightly twice, pretending to be reserved.
Teacher Tao rolled her eyes and didn't pick up her stubble.
"That's right!"
Seeing that Teacher Tao didn't pick up the stubble, Li Fengxia had to pick it up by herself.
"Why did Xiaoyi go to work? Didn't you say that you would go to the airport to be a volunteer before?"
Wearing a professional suit, it looks like he is doing office work, and Mr. Tao can't figure it out.
Recently, there have been frequent power outages in Shanlin City, and they have been evacuated from their homes, and the grandparents have not called for a long time, and Li Fengxia does not know what is going on.
Lin Yi doesn't have a fixed contact number at school, so she can't use the public phone every day to report her safety to her homeroom teacher, and then let someone convey it, right?
"Alas! I knew that the water was so big! I should have gone to the north to live for a few months and then come back! The situation in North China does not seem to be serious, and it didn't cost much to rent a house for a few months in the past.
"Come on, you are a big family, can you leave it behind, your son and daughter-in-law are still working!"
"I can't leave it behind, what can't you leave behind? I said, you shouldn't come back when you went to Beijing before!"
Li Fengxia didn't take this conversation, under the pretext of walking the dog, carrying a backpack with valuables on her back, and leading the black tiger out of the gymnasium.
The gymnasium is strategically located next to one of the highest mountains in Shanlin City.
The black tiger has not eaten well recently, and he doesn't look very energetic, so Li Fengxia led him to walk slowly on the stone road up the mountain.
It's a hot and muggy day in August!
This year, when the rain is heavy and the weather is fine, the cicadas are almost racing against time!
Finally climbed to the pavilion at the top of the mountain, Li Fengxia wiped the sweat on her forehead, sat on the steps in front of the pavilion, and silently touched the head of the black tiger, but her eyes fell on the mountain forest not far away.
Now in this situation, if she runs to the martyr's cemetery to see the tomb, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate.
After all, who will have the leisure to go there at this time!
Although because of her granddaughter's righteous and courageous deeds, she cared for her organization and put Lin Yi's background on the bright side, which greatly reduced their risk, but if she stared at the nameless tomb, once something went wrong, it would be absolutely irreparable.
She knew a little about her son afterwards.
The reason why the organization has not forgotten to care for them for so many years is not only because she is interested in being a person, but also because of the task back then.
Lin Huaisheng took over this task, and he was almost the same as a dead soldier, so the organization always felt that he owed her.
She also knew the situation back then, she never hoped that her son would live, she just couldn't let go of that knot.
She suspected that after the big operation, her son's body was not recovered, and the coffin was empty at the memorial service, and afterwards, the urn wrapped in the national flag in the tomb of the martyr's cemetery was also empty.
But whether it was burial, cremation, including burial, it was all done in secret, and she never participated.
She always wanted to ask for an understanding, but she always thought that she died too miserably, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stand it to appease her.
When she saw the empty tomb in the news that day, she wanted to go and see it, but it was just a thought.
In fact, she also knew that even if there was an urn, it would most likely be washed away by the water, and she would not find anything.
Ay!
I just want to hear the truth, why is it so hard?
has lived to be in her sixties, and this heart knot can't be opened, and she can't let go of this matter for a day.
seemingly
You have to think of a way.
