Darkness, torrential rain, tremors of great earthquakes.

It all feels as if the end of the world is coming.

At the moment when the house shook, Zuo Jian's first instinct was, "It's not good, it's an earthquake!" But soon, he realized that it should not be an earthquake, but a mudslide in the mountains, which appeared again!

Zuo Jian once encountered a mudslide, and it was in Nalin Village that he encountered it. That time, the mudslide swallowed and submerged the two children, Sanmao and Erya.

This time, it's at night, so no one will go to the mountains, right?

Zuo Jian was a little worried, walked to the window, heard the sound of crackling raindrops outside, he hesitated, took out a raincoat, put it on his body, took off his shoes again, and walked out barefoot.

There is no industry in Narin, and there are tourists every day, and the villagers are also very clean and hygienic, so walking barefoot, except for feeling a little bit scratchy, there is no need to worry about stepping on something and cutting your feet.

As soon as he went out, the rainstorm fell on Zuo Jian's head, and on his body, he had a feeling as if someone was in the sky, pouring a bucket down.

In the muddy water, Zuo Jianshen walked with one foot and one foot shallow, and he first went to Qu Rou's house to take a look. Fortunately, Qu Rou was only slightly scared, Zuo Jian comforted her a few words, and soon, she calmed down.

Then, Zuo Jian went to Shen Yuxin and Mu Yanbing's house again, and took a look, the two girls were between each other, and they could also chat and be brave, so they were not very afraid.

In the end, Zuo Jian went to the old village chief's house.

"Old village chief, it's me, Zuo Jian." Zuo Jian knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened, and the old village chief looked at Zuo Jian with a surprised expression, "Teacher Zuo, it's raining so hard, why are you here?" With that, he hurriedly welcomed Zuo Jian into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, the water on Zuo Jian's raincoat wet the ground, he took off his raincoat, the old village chief handed over a cup of hot water, Zuo Jian drank a few sips, felt very comfortable, and said: "Old village chief, I am looking at the rain outside, it is so heavy, in our village, no one goes up the mountain this afternoon, right?" ”

"Mr. Zuo, are you worried about the mudslide?"

The old village chief immediately understood why Zuo Jian came to the house in the heavy rain, "Don't worry, the life of the villagers is much better now than in the previous few months, and no one has gone up the mountain." ”

Zuo Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good." It's so dark, and the rain is so heavy, if someone goes up the mountain, it's going to be dangerous. ”

The old village chief said with emotion: "Teacher Zuo, you are really a great benefactor in our village, if it weren't for you and Teacher Mu, the village is still like the past, relying on the sky to eat, how can you live a good life like now." ”

Among the people Zuo Jian doesn't want to see the most now, the old village chief is definitely on the list, not because he is troublesome and difficult, but because once he sees Zuo Jian, the old village chief will definitely give all kinds of benefactor titles unconditionally to Zuo Jian's head within three sentences.

This really made Zuo Jian a little overwhelmed.

So if there is something that must be done with the old village chief, Zuo Jian will generally avoid him as far as he can.

"Okay, old village chief, don't praise me here." Zuo Jian smiled bitterly, drank all the water in the cup, put down the water cup and said, "Cheng, then you can rest early, I'll go back first." ”

"It's raining outside, it's so heavy, Mr. Zuo, why don't you rest here for a while, and when the rain gets lighter, you're going out?" When the old village chief heard that Zuo Jian was leaving, he hurriedly spoke.

"Forget it, I think this rain will be going on for a while, and it doesn't seem to be able to stop." Zuo Jian listened to the sound of rain outside, shook his head, and said, "I'll go back." ”

"That's okay, Mr. Zuo, slow down on the road." The old village chief sent Zuo Jian to the door, and did not forget to advise: "Teacher Zuo, you must be slow and careful, you are a great benefactor in our village......

"I'm gone, the old village chief. You get to rest early. ”

Zuo Jian shook his head with a wry smile, interrupted the old village chief's words, and turned around and walked into the rain.

After returning to the house, Zuo Jian's trouser legs were all soaked with muddy water, and the raincoat was taken off and thrown on the ground, which was a puddle of water.

Lit a cigarette, just took a few puffs, and there was a faint muffled sound in the distance, today's rain is the biggest rain Zuo Jian has seen in recent years.

After a few hours of pouring rain, at midnight, it finally became lighter.

Waking up early the next morning, Zuo Jian subconsciously listened attentively, there was still a murmuring sound outside, opened the door and took a look, the rain outside, from yesterday's heavy rain, to a continuous drizzle, the worst thing is that the weather is gloomy, dark clouds, it seems, maybe it may not be able to stop for a day today.

Due to the rain, the tourist souvenir company also announced a temporary holiday for one day. The reason is very simple, after the baptism of last night's rainstorm, there is now muddy water everywhere, and in some places, due to the low terrain, the accumulated rainwater can even reach the calves.

All projects in Narin Village have been temporarily suspended.

A group of people were bored, Zhang Ke, Mu Yanbing, Shen Yuxin, Qu Rou, Chu Linbo and others all came to Zuo Jian's room, and a group of people chatted for a while and began to play poker.

Originally, I thought that this rain would be able to stop in the next day at most.

But to everyone's surprise, it rained for a week!

What was even more terrifying was that on the last day, in the mountains northeast of Narin Village, a loud bang suddenly sounded, and the earth shook again, and some people in the village claimed that there must have been a mountain collapsed by the rain.

This rumor has been recognized by many people.

However, Zuo Jian and the others didn't have the heart to listen to these rumors. The original scheduled completion ceremony, the invitations were all sent out, but due to the heavy rain in Narin County, everyone was delayed, and now, the rain has stopped, and the completion ceremony is about to be held.

But after a week of non-stop torrential rains, almost all the vicinity of Narin Village has become a sea of water, and the road into the village has been almost invisible after the heavy rain and mud washed, and a thick layer of silt has accumulated on it, in such a situation, the completion ceremony can only be postponed temporarily.

"Alas, it seems that God is against us."

Uncle Niu's forklift is galloping back and forth on the highway, there is no way, the entire highway is buried, in this case, without using mechanical equipment, in a short time, it is impossible to clear the highway at all.

Zhang Ke lit a cigarette and said to the person next to him: "Fortunately, when we built it before, the foundation was firmly laid, otherwise, I am afraid it would have been washed away by this rain." ”

Zhang Ke's words are not groundless, alarmist, after the baptism of this rainstorm, there are no less than ten houses in Nalin Village, all of which have collapsed by the rain!

It can only be temporarily used in someone else's house. However, there were no casualties, which is a blessing in disguise.

This incident reminded Zuo Jian that many of the houses in Nalin Village were built decades ago, and after so many years of wind and sun, if you look at it according to national standards, many of them have completely reached the standard of dilapidated houses.

"I think we should find a time to discuss with the old village chiefs, and each villager will contribute some money, and we will also help to reinforce and repair all the houses in the village, otherwise, the next time there is such a rain, the whole village will be wiped out."

Zuo Jian said with a frown.

"Well, I'm fine." Zhang Ke nodded. It doesn't matter. Anyway, it doesn't cost much to get a good reputation.

found the old village chief, Zuo Jian told him about it.

After the old village chief heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, grabbed Zuo Jian's hand, and was a variety of benefactors, Narin Village would never forget the goosebumps that made Zuo Jian listen to you.

Zuo Jian broke free of his hand and asked the old village chief to go to the village to inform him of the incident, and then found an excuse to leave.

Narin Village Primary School is the only modern building in the village, which was built by Zuo Jian and others with fundraising.

Now it seems that it was prescient at the beginning, and after this rainstorm, the village was in shambles, but the Nalin Village Primary School was still unharmed.

It doesn't seem to be a tofu slag project.

Zuo Jian felt a little proud in his heart.

A few children came back from playing outside the village.

Zuo Jian glanced at them and recognized that they were all students in the school, but he couldn't name them.

"You guys, come here!"

Zuo Jian shouted angrily.

"Hello Mr. Zuo."

"Hello Mr. Zuo."

When several children saw Zuo Jian's deliberately stiff face, they were all a little frightened, and they honestly walked up to Zuo Jian and lowered their heads.

"Who told you to run outside the village to play after the heavy rain?" Zuo Jian reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

The hard dirt roads in the village are just down, at most they are soaked out of some mud, and outside the village, at the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of silt and puddles, which is a great hidden danger for these children who are only about one meter tall.

Several children lowered their heads and obediently listened to Zuo Jian's lesson.

Zuo Jian said a few more words, and at the end, he said: "Okay, remember, in the past few days, don't go to the bottom of the mountain to play, do you hear?" ”

"I heard Teacher Zuo."

A few children naturally nodded honestly in agreement.

"Alright, you all go back." Zuo Jian waved his hand, and several children suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts, and at this time, the things that two of the children were holding in their hands attracted Zuo Jian's attention, "You two, wait a minute." ”
