[12] The house collapsed

Xinghua didn't even bother to speak, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing her small mouth, she had never eaten meat so much, and she felt like she had fallen into a honey pot.

After a meal, Xinghua's little belly was round, if Wu Daguang hadn't stopped and didn't let Xinghua eat again, Xinghua would have to stuff it in his mouth.

At night, the two lay on the kang and fell asleep.

At midnight, the wind blew outside the window, swept up the sand and stones and slapped the window, Wu Daguang, who was overworked, slept very deeply, and did not wake up passively, but Xinghua was the opposite, passively scared awake, fear occupied her mind, moved her small body towards Wu Daguang, she found a sense of security.

The warmth inside the house is not enough to withstand the disaster from above, the wind outside is blowing stronger and stronger, and heavy dark clouds cover the earth, ready for a rainstorm to come anytime and anywhere.

In the second half of the night, the wind was raging enough, and the big drops of rain fell, the rhythm was slightly faster, and I couldn't wait to enter the climax.

The house leak coincided with the overnight rain, Wu Daguang's house was in disrepair, every time it rained, there would be rain from the roof infiltrating, the cracks in the four walls were constantly being beaten in, the rain splashed down every corner of the room, and it was raining heavily outside and light rain inside.

Despite this, Wu Daguang's whole body was wet from the leaking rain, but the snoring was still thick, probably because he was too tired.

Xinghua, who was nesting next to Wu Daguang, woke up early, was really scared, and whispered to Wu Daguang: "Daddy, it's raining." ”

The voice was as small as a mosquito, Wu Daguang's snoring was completely covered, and Wu Daguang in the dream was swimming in the pool.

Click~ A thunderclap.

The snoring was stuck in half, and Wu Daguang, who was snoring with his mouth open, almost didn't choke on his own saliva.

"Daddy's raining, I'm afraid. Xinghua's little hand hugged Wu Daguang's thick arm, and her body shrunk into a wet mess of small quilts.

Wu Daguang realized that it was raining, and patted Xinghua to reassure: "Don't be afraid, there is a father." ”

Wu Daguang groped for the kang, in the past, when it rained, there must be a few pots at home to receive water in the house.

Wu Daguang went out of the house, rummaged in the hall to find a basin that could receive water, the top of his head was hit by something, looked up, accompanied by a lightning, a large piece of loess on the roof hung on top of it, just hit himself is a small part of this loess, the wood used in the beams of the house has been bad, plus it is wet by the rain, it may collapse at any time.

As soon as I thought of collapsing, several eaves tiles outside the house fell down.

The house is going to collapse.

Wu Daguang instantly had this thought in his mind, and a cool breeze was blowing on his back.

No, the house can't be occupied.

"Xinghua, hurry up, the house is going to collapse. Wu Daguang shouted.

Quickly rushed into the house, put the money hidden in the kang stove into his arms, picked up the apricot blossoms on the kang and rushed out. During this time, a lot of fallen clods of dirt smashed on the body.

Maybe God gave the two of them a chance to escape, half a minute after Wu Daguang rushed out of the house with the apricot blossom in his arms, there was a boom, and the entire roof sank downward, leaving the four walls alone and towering there.

This scene made Wu Daguang gasp, whether he was stoned to death in it one step later.

"Daddy, our home is gone. Xinghua said with a flat mouth, looking at the home that had become a ruin.

Wu Daguang sighed, covered the top of Xinghua's head with his big hand, turned around and ran out of the courtyard wall, the rain was too heavy, and he had to find a place to hide from the rain.

The only way he could think of was to go to the neighbor's house, and Wu Daguang was naturally the first to go to the neighbor's house and knock on the door.

Wu Daguang shouted at the door of the neighbor's house, "Big brother, my house has collapsed, can you let us stay overnight." ”

I don't know if I can hear his voice in the house, I knocked on the door of five houses in a row, and none of them came out to open the door kindly.

Is it really because the rain is loud and you can't hear it?

Otherwise.

At least one of the families heard Wu Daguang's plea for help.

The male owner of the family got up from the kang and was about to open the door, but was pulled by the mother-in-law: "Why are you going, I can't show you, just your kindness, do you think others can't listen to it? Wu Daguang has no money to repair the house, if you let the two of them live in, you have to rely on it and not leave." ”

The man opened his mouth to say that it was raining too much outside.

The mother-in-law didn't give her a chance to speak, and ordered, "Lie down and sleep." ”

The man looked out the window and lay down.

Outside the house, Wu Daguang planned to continue knocking, but the apricot blossom in his arms hugged him and said, "Daddy, I want to go home." ”

In fact, Wu Daguang also knew that no one would open the door to their father and son, and he only reported a just case mentality.

Do people have to be looked down upon if they are poor?

Wu Daguang tried his best to make the apricot blossoms rain less, and returned to the collapsed home the same way, the only place in the house that could shelter from the rain was the worn-out plastic sheet covered with the board car.

Holding the apricot blossom into the wet board car, Wu Daguang tried not to let the plastic sheet hole against the apricot blossom, one big and one small wet shrunk on the board car and waited for the rain to stop.

A rain fell for three or four hours before dawn stopped.

In the morning after the rain, the air is filled with the smell of earth, and most rural people get up early, and after the basic rooster crows, the chimneys of every household begin to smoke.

The neighbor next door went out and saw the situation at Wu Daguang's house, and kindly came to condole, but it was just a condolence.

"Daguang, your house has collapsed. The neighbor feigned surprise.

"Hmm. Wu Daguang replied in a deep voice, his face was expressionless, as a neighbor, his house was next door to his house, there was such a big movement last night, would he not know that the house had collapsed?

"You said I didn't know that your house had collapsed, so why don't you go to my house to hide from the rain. "The neighbors are doing their best.

Wu Daguang laughed in his heart and said, "It's not too late." ”

The man was dumbfounded for a while, and then said, "By the way, my sister-in-law hasn't gotten up yet, I'm really embarrassed." ”

People who want to make excuses will always have excuses.

"No more trouble. Wu Daguang gave a step down.

"Then I'll go back first, go back and ask your sister-in-law to beat an egg for Xinghua and send it over. The voice was far away, and the person had already returned home.

When the neighbor returned home, the mother-in-law who was cooking in front of the bathhouse couldn't bear to sarcastically say: "The good old man didn't make it, and he turned two eggs upside down." ”

"Old lady, take care of so much, cook your meal, and send the eggs to Xinghua. The man entered the house sullenly.

On the cart, the apricot blossoms were asleep, and Wu Daguang found dry firewood to light it.

"Xinghua, don't sleep, get up and bake clothes. Wu Daguang greeted.

"Oh. Xinghua responded, her little face flushed, and she slowly got off the cart and went to the fire.

Wu Daguang walked into the ruins, and found the box that was not smashed in the southwest corner of the ruins, and there were some clothes and quilts in the box, which were all wet now, and they were taken out to dry, and it was estimated that they would be able to dry in the afternoon.
