"Have you cut all the rice?" asked Su Wen to Xingzheng.

"It's not close. Xingzheng said.

"Tell the disciples to quickly harvest the rice, and then put it away, and put a wooden square underneath. Look at the day it is going to rain, and it is not small. Su Wen looked up at the sky and said, the dark clouds in the sky at this time are not dense, although the sun cannot be seen, but it is not gloomy.

But the air was stuffy and hot, and people were out of breath.

"Yes. After receiving the order, Xingzheng hurriedly informed the disciples in the temple to go, and those who had nothing to do went to the back mountain to cut rice, and even the lay disciples were arranged to help tie up the rice and carry it back to the temple.

The progress was much faster, and at five o'clock in the afternoon all the wheat was finally delivered.

In the open space on the fifth floor, there are a lot of wooden squares on the ground, and the wheat is stacked on top of it to avoid being damp due to rain for a while.

By this time, the sky was already overcast.

Almost everyone could tell that a heavy rain was about to fall.

The disciples in the temple are hurrying to stack the rice and then cover it with a canvas.

Everyone walks with a trot.

These are the rice they eat every day. Rice can only be eaten once in a while, but this year, so many people are looking forward to eating it every day. Naturally, I don't want to be affected by this rain.

It is also troublesome to dry it in the future, and if it rains for a long time, it will be soaked.

Su Wen also came to the fifth floor and helped tie the canvas tightly with a rope.

Finally, when the first thunder sounded, all the rice was covered and tied.

"Go back and rest in your room. Su Wen said to everyone, and the group quickly ran back to the room.

Only halfway through the run, with another muffled thunder, the raindrops the size of beans began to fall.

At first, there were some gaps, and by the time everyone ran back to the room, it was already raining so hard that they could barely see clearly.

Su Wen watched everyone go back to the room, and then slowly walked back, and his body was already drenched in the rain.

After drying his body and changing his clothes, Su Wen stood in front of the window and watched the heavy rain outside, guessing in his heart that he didn't know when it would stop.

Generally speaking, such heavy rain lasts for a short time, otherwise it will be a disaster.

Not long after standing in front of the window, I saw many children running to their rooms in the rain.

Originally, I was carrying an umbrella, but at this time, the wind and rain were heavy, and the raindrops were slanting down, and the umbrella was useless. Before he could enter the temple, he had already been penetrated. Just put away the umbrella and run back, it can be faster.

At dinner, Su Wen asked the disciples of the hall to cook a bucket of ginger soup, and the monks and children drank a bowl to avoid getting sick.

Su Wen thought that the rain would stop soon, but it still didn't end after a whole night.

The rain has only changed from heavy to moderate.

The next morning, when the mountain gate was opened, many people ran to the temple, and now the mountain was almost flooded, and the water had reached the calf.

And the water in that river is gone.

Su Wen looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and it seemed that it would be some time later.

So he told the sick people under the mountain to take refuge in the temple.

The patients are now living in simple rooms, and they are now all submerged.

If the rain continues, I'm afraid it will be easy to get into trouble.

At the same time, Su Wen also called He Baichuan and sent a batch of tents to the temple.

The temple is located on high ground and has a drainage channel under the stone slabs, so there is no standing water in the temple. It should be barely possible to live in the temple with a tent temporarily.

Others were invited to a few empty monasteries.

After these arrangements were made, Su Wen asked people to call the school, and the children in the temple were afraid that they would not be able to go to school until the water receded.

Then I called Liu Zaishan again and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him.

When the school was being built, both buildings were a little too high. If the water rises again, the first floor of the dormitory can only be vacated, and the students are arranged to squeeze on it.

Two or three thousand people were squeezed into the temple at once, and although the daily flow of the temple was usually seven or eight thousand, it was different from two or three thousand people who temporarily took refuge in the temple, and the Jingxin Temple had to prepare meals for these two or three thousand people.

It's a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, although it rained heavily and there was standing water at the bottom of the mountain, the vegetable rice noodles in the morning were delivered normally, and Su Wen seized the time to order a batch, plus the original rice noodles in the dining hall and the Xiangji kitchen, which was enough for two or three thousand people to eat for two or three days.

Waiting for the rice noodles to be delivered, many monks braved the rain to come down the mountain to resist.

The people who took refuge in the temple from the flood asked the younger ones in their families to go down to help, and some of them even rolled up their trouser legs and were persuaded to go back.

Hundreds of people carried it, and the rice and noodles were delivered to the soup kitchen in just one time.

The rice and noodles had just been moved, and the thousand tents that He Baichuan had sent as soon as possible had arrived.

These tents were directly emptied of all the shops in the East China Sea, and they barely managed to make up for these.

At the same time, several boxes of disposable water cups and a bunch of bread were delivered, which Su Wen had not considered before.

Under the mountain, the usual market is naturally gone, and everyone is still hungry.

Along with him were Qin Siyue, who had not been seen for a long time, and several policemen.

After seeing that the people under the mountain had all moved to the temple, Qin Siyue was relieved.

"Thanks to you this time. Qin Siyue said: "When I came before, I thought about letting them transfer to the temple, but I didn't expect you to do it." ”

"There are more people in the temple, is there a lot of pressure?"

"There is no shortage of food and the like, and the order is good. Su Wen said with a smile. These people are all sick people at the foot of the mountain, and they have been accustomed to the Pure Heart Temple for so long, and they have more or less come into contact with the Dharma.

After moving to the temple, it was quiet and there was no trouble.

"That's good. Just in case, I'm staying here too, after all, there are so many people, and it's troublesome if something goes wrong. Qin Siyue looked at the tents that were being erected in the temple, and said to many young people who were setting up tents in the rain.

"Okay!" Su Wen nodded. "It's better to have the police to maintain order. ”

Silence ensued.

I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the two have a lot of friends.

In other words, as the reputation of the Pure Heart Temple grows bigger and bigger, Su Wen's position in the hearts of everyone is getting higher and higher, and he can't talk like before.

Even if he didn't feel anything, many people first felt respect in their hearts when they saw Su Wen.

After Su Wen left, Qin Siyue sighed softly.

The young monk stood taller and taller.

In the afternoon, the rain was still not light, and Xingzheng came to Su Wen with his mobile phone.

"Abbot, I'm afraid this rain is going to be a little troublesome. Xingzheng handed the phone to Su Wen and said.

Su Wen took it and saw the above typhoon information, after landing on the southern coast in the past two days, it began to turn around under the influence of atmospheric circulation, all the way to the north.

Su Wen frowned when he saw it.

Typhoons rarely reach the coastal areas of Lu Province, but they are not uncommon and do happen occasionally.

However, this time it caught up with two days of heavy rainfall, followed by a typhoon, and I am afraid that the rain will last longer than expected.

As a result, there may not be enough food in the temple.

"Is it too late to deliver food now?" asked Su Wen.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to send it in, I just went down the mountain to see, the water is already knee-high, and it is difficult for the vehicle to pass. ”
