Noble son of the poor family (17)

The night was quiet, except for the old lady's incessant sobbing and cursing.

The old man was tired for a long time, and he had already slept soundly. Deaf to the old lady's scolding and cries.

The old lady felt very bored by herself, wiped her eyes, and thought she was dazzled. Why is the whole ground shiny with silver.

Got rich?

Her brain hurt when she cried, and her brain was still a little unclear, thinking that she was dazzled.

"Old man, old man!" cried the old lady hurriedly, "how can I see that the ground is full of broken silver, shining. ”

"Hysteria in a dream...... the old man muttered, and was about to turn over, but suddenly froze.

When I saw the light at night, it was not silver, it was the surface of the water.

Has the water come in?

He sat up and looked underground, "Water!

The old lady screamed, and the whole courtyard woke up. Then came the screams one after the other.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and tell the young lady to get up. Bring thick clothes and gold and silver title deeds at home. Leave the rest alone. The old man hurriedly got up and said.

"I didn't clean up ......" The old lady believed Saburo's words, firmly believing that there would be no big water. Who knew that the words of the precious grandson were not true.

The old man hated it so much that he could only rummage through the cabinets, quickly find out the things, and put them in his arms. Just go down, this time his mind is still clear, and when he sees that the water is above the surface of his feet, it proves that the water outside is deeper. Remembering that the old woman had small feet, he said, "Hurry down and sit down in the wooden basin." I'll drag you away for a moment. ”

The old lady was just right to sit in the big wooden basin for washing clothes.

She dragged the tub and followed the old man. I saw Boss Yin carrying his little granddaughter Yin E on his back and hurriedly running in the direction of the mountain. It's a little bit bad in my heart. Her weight is not much heavier than that of a child. Mei Shi and Mei Fang Mei Xiang supported each other, carrying their burdens, and followed closely behind Boss Yin.

I saw the third child pulling a bath bucket, in which Yin Tao and Yin Xing were sitting, He was carrying a lot of things, and he didn't care about them, you told me to shout and run up the mountain.

Only then did the old lady realize that none of her grandchildren were there, and that there was no strong labor in the family.

Yin Youniang was also sitting in the bathtub, and the old man was pulling.

The water level is getting higher and higher, and it has reached the position of the ankle.

With this bit of buoyancy, the old man pulled the mother and daughter to go quite smoothly. Out of the village, the water was getting deeper and deeper, and it was already waist-high.

Someone shouted, "Uncle, sit down in the tub and paddle over." Further on, the water is up to the neck. ”

Yin Youniang hurriedly said, "Mother, you come to my side, let's use the bath bucket." ”

The old man was right when he thought about it, picked up the old lady and sent it to his daughter, he held the wooden basin while pushing the wooden bucket. When the water reached his chest, he had to find a way to sit in the tub.

It was not easy to complete this action on the water, and when he finally climbed in, he found that as soon as he let go of his hand just now, the bath bucket had drifted away.

But the night was dark, and there were wooden basins and barrels floating everywhere, and it was impossible to see who was who. There were voices calling for his father and mother everywhere, and he couldn't tell which direction the old woman and the girl were. After searching for a long time, I could only fish out a wooden stick and row in the direction of the mountain. I thought to myself, as long as the general direction is right, the mother and daughter can always be found on the mountain.

But he miscalculated the ability of the mother and daughter, and the two of them paddled for most of the day, and they were both shaking in place. Once you stop, you can only float with the current. The old lady is a person who basically doesn't go out of the yard much, and Yin Youniang is a person who doesn't even go out of the door. Where is the clear direction. Just floated down the river with resignation.

The fourth master and Lin Yutong and his entourage rushed for half the night, and only walked halfway.

Many people stopped to rest on the side of the road, and their family did not dare to delay at all, without the drag of the old and the young.

When the sky was hazy and the sky was white, Lin Yutong heard Song's exclamation.

She quickly turned her head to look, only to see that in the distance, the water was shining, and only the ridge and the treetops were left in the place she passed last night.

"Let's go. The fourth master pulled Lin Yutong and ran up.

The county seat is not far ahead, and the city wall can already be seen.

The two of them threw everything except for the weapons on their bodies. This time, the Song family learned to be obedient, and the things were skimmed, anyway, the gold and silver were all on their bodies. The family didn't want anything, so they ran to the county seat.

Seeing that there were still people who didn't want to die, they went to pick up the things that were thrown away, Lin Yutong could only sigh. Good luck to you.

In the face of fire and water, human power is really limited.

By the time we reached the city gate, the water was already 100 meters away.

But on the contrary, the city gate was closed, and the door was not opened.

"Is it Niu Niu?" shouted someone in the city.

It was Lin Jiren and Lin Zhuan on the city wall. It must have given the garrison a lot of benefits.

"Daddy! Lin Yutong hurriedly responded.

Two large baskets and ropes hung down from the wall. Lin Yutong could only give the basket to the Qian family and the Song family, and he climbed up with the fourth master on the rope.

Standing on the city wall, Lin Yutong heard the fourth master muttering: "This is not a flood discharge at all, this is the West River bursting its embankment." ”

Once the West River bursts, it will not be a matter of one county or one state.

After going down the city wall and walking 100 meters, it is the big car shop of Uncle Lin's house. At this time, in the big car shop, all the people who escaped from the Lin clan were accommodated.

There are many strong men in the family, and such a big industry is not afraid of people worrying about it, and it is not afraid that people will take advantage of the fire to rob them.

It's a mutually beneficial thing.

Uncle Lin retained Yin's second child, "In this world, only by holding together can we keep warm." In-laws, now is not the time to see the outside. ”

Yin Lao Er nodded and agreed, "Then I won't thank you." ”

The family went to the small courtyard of the Lin family, and there were two rooms on the left and right of the gatehouse in front, all of which were coiled with kangs, one for Yin Lao Er and the Qian family, and one for Da Lang and the Song family. The fourth master and Lin Yutong live in the wing room in the east.

Lin Yutong piled all the grain from the dowry field that the Lin family had transported over before into Yin Laoer's house. That's enough food for six people for a winter.

At this time, people are really panicking. The water outside kept rising. The county seat is closed. Bags of gravel were piled up at the city gates. It's a double layer of insurance.

Now in this county, the county magistrate heard that he was sick and couldn't get out of bed. All of them were handled by the county lieutenant Fan.

At night, the fourth master leaned on the head of the bed, "Zhao Xianling pretended to be sick and hid." This Fan County Lieutenant ......"

The rain outside began to fall again, and the fourth master stopped to listen to the sound of the rain outside halfway through his words. Immediately after, I heard someone go into the courtyard to see the rain.

When I went to bed tonight, I was neatly dressed, and the gold and silver were sewn into my close-fitting clothes. Then there was a bag of dry food hanging at the head of the bed, and a large wooden barrel was placed in the corner of the bed.

I'm afraid that the water level will rise again and pour into the city, which will be even worse.

The fourth master patted Lin Yutong, "Sleep! I'm afraid that this county town will not be stable." ”

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, there was an uproar outside. The officers and soldiers on the city wall, as long as there is silver to offer, will still secretly put people into the county town in the middle of the night.

These people had nothing to eat, and they were soaking wet. The silver has been looted again, and in this late autumn, hunger and cold are urgent, isn't it easy for people to take risks?

In the small courtyard of the Lin family, the main entrance has been sealed. The door was built directly with bricks. When you go in and out, you can go through the corner gate that connects to the big car shop.

The next day, the fourth master gathered all the young and middle-aged people who lived in the big car shop. Then they guarded the gate and patrolled along the fence, for fear that someone would come in and rob them. Women are not allowed to go out.

At home, the women did not dare to cook on a large fire, and they all used small stoves and pancakes. I'm afraid that the fireworks will bring in people from outside.

At this time, a little kindness may not be in return, but magnify the possessiveness of the other party. It can only lead to death.

When he came back today, the fourth master's expression was even more ugly.

"The water level has risen again?" Lin Yutong asked.

The fourth master nodded, "The rain doesn't stop, can it not rise?" The streets and alleys of the city are full of people fleeing. Last night, a family of eight from a grain store in the east of the city, including a three-year-old child, were killed. The grain was snatched up. ”

"Ah!" Lin Yutong covered his mouth silently.

This is something she has never experienced or seen in her lifetime.

"What about the county government?" Lin Yutong hurriedly said: "The county government can't open a warehouse to release grain, can't it open a porridge shed." Even if a person has a mouthful of gruel to drink, he will not take risks......"

That's right.

But this county lieutenant Fan had no idea at all.

Before the fourth master could speak, he heard someone outside call the fourth master, saying that the Yin family Sanlang had found it.

"What is he doing here?" Lin Yutong said, "He lives in the county governor's mansion, and he is the most stable." ”

The fourth master shook his head and walked out, "I'll take a look." ”

Saburo did live in the county governor's mansion before. But those days are aggrieved. Not to mention that his father-in-law's face was ugly, or the cynicism of those sons and brothers of the Fan family, he couldn't stand it. There are even a few hands and feet on Xiao He's. Jiro intervened to stop him, but his leg was broken.

Xiao He cut his neck with a hairpin and wanted to commit suicide, so he scared off those beasts.

But his wife looks like she is watching a good show.

If you don't give yourself face like this, he can't swallow this breath. If you don't pull the Fan family down, you will never give up.

As he went, the victims around him flashed like hungry wolves, giving him new inspiration.

As long as these people are used properly, they are all enemies of Fan County Lieutenant. and he was able to devour him alive.

He remembered a sentence he had learned in a middle school textbook, called 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning?'.

Before, he also complained that other predecessors could call the wind and rain and call Wang Chenghuang, why he was born in a cold door.

Now that I think about it, I suddenly realize that maybe this catastrophe is my chance.

Who said that a poor family can't produce a noble son?
