Chapter 126: Storm Swept (Text)
Uncle's craftsmanship is average, the food is not delicious, but fortunately, the ingredients are fresh and sweet, and the food is almost the same, and he pours home-brewed lychee wine, and several adults chat while drinking.
At this time, the wind was already howling outside, blowing and rattling the branches. Everyone didn't care, there were a lot of typhoons, and they were almost like this.
After eating and drinking, Wu Chen and his parents braved the wind and rain and returned to their own home, under this kind of strong wind, they couldn't open an umbrella at all, Wu Chen only felt that his ears were whirring, his face was a little tight, and the small trees around him were swaying and dancing.
He wanted to tell his parents to be careful, but he poured a mouthful of good wind, but he couldn't say a word!
Fortunately, the front and back rows of the two houses are not far away, and the wind has just risen, and there is no rain. After the three of them ran home, they rinsed and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Wu Chen was a little annoyed by the noise outside, and was lying on the bed thinking about it when he received a call from Huang Xiaolin. Huang Xiaolin complained on the phone, Mu Tou hadn't contacted her for so long, and Miss Huang was a little inexplicably lost!
Wu Chen had to explain that he had returned to his hometown, not in Guangzhou, listening to Huang Xiaolin's soft voice on the phone, he had a sweet feeling in his heart, and he apologized and coaxed her to sleep.
Thinking of Huang Xiaolin on the phone, she repeatedly told herself to be careful of typhoons and not to run around, and her heart suddenly felt warm, saying that she had grown so big, except for her mother, there was really no woman who cared so much about herself!
Someone clicks, it's refreshing! With a sense of happiness in his heart, Wu Chen slept very well that night, not knowing that he was outside the road, and before he knew it, it was already pouring rain.
The rain was unusual from the beginning, and the heavy raindrops smashed straight to the ground, and soon it turned into a curtain-like torrential rain. The rain curtain danced in the wind, beating and tearing everything that came its way!
"Bang bang bang!" Wu Chen was in a spring dream, and was woken up by the sound of a quick knock on the door, only to hear the panicked cries of his father and mother, and through the door panel, a sullen voice came in.
Something happened?! Wu Chen stood up, didn't care about wiping the saliva off his mouth, first answered loudly, and slapped the switch on the wall, there was no movement, the power went out? ! He didn't have time to care about this, so he slipped under the bed by feeling, and with a "snort", his feet were already in the water!
Flooded? Wu Chen woke up completely as soon as he was excited! Listening to my father and mother still calling outside the door, I hurriedly yelled loudly, answered a few more times, and didn't care about getting dressed, so I waded through the water and opened the door for them!
As soon as he opened the door, he was shaken by the flashlight in his father's hand, and his vision blurred.
"It's watery! Fast! Pack up and go to the ancestral hall! Dad Wu handed over a flashlight and hurriedly yelled.
Wu Chen had never seen his father so flustered, and he suddenly panicked in his heart, took a flashlight, turned over and went back to the room to clean up his things.
In a panic, I didn't know what to pack, I only put my belongings into a big backpack, and hugged two pieces of clothes, and when I was about to leave the room, I remembered the painting, turned around and picked it up from the bookshelf, and reluctantly stuffed it into the backpack, and the exposed section was also wrapped in the moisture-proof cloth of the backpack.
The water came very quickly, and when Wu Chen came out of the hall, the water had already overflowed his knees, Wu Chen saw that his mother was carrying a large package on his left and right shoulders, so he hurriedly put the bag behind him and took one from his mother.
A few people went out of the door, only to see the dark horror outside, only the whistling wind and the sound of the rain, or occasionally a few people's shouts, I can't hear what it is, the rain curtain is too big, even the flashlight goes out, and you can only see the tumbling rain line in front of you, like countless whips whipping wantonly in the wind.
Wu Chen was defenseless, he was almost blown down, and hurriedly leaned against the wall to slow down, and heard his mother shouting: "The old man-the old man-gone-" This is calling for uncle!
Wu Chen dragged the bag strap with both hands, so that the backpack and package were only close to his body to reduce the resistance of the wind, he turned around slightly, turned his face to the downwind, and wanted to help his mother yell a few times, but a mouth was filled with a mouthful of wind, only to feel that the wind drilled into his mouth, struck inside and outside, slapped his face, pulled the skin and flesh of his cheeks, and kept shaking!
"Stop shouting! Inaudible !! Let's go! Dad yelled, took the lead and walked forward.
Wading in the water and against the wind, the father and son staggered towards the center of the village, and they didn't care about the various tree branches around them.
It's just that there are already a lot of trees that have been blown off and blown down, visible and invisible, blocked in the water, and they have to hit it every now and then.
In this way, after rushing for a while, a vague black shadow in front of him rushed over, because he was in a hurry, he fell into the water several times, but it was Wu Chen's uncle.
"Big sister! Eldest sister-" Wu Chen's uncle shouted and "rushed" over, he drank some wine tonight, and when Wu Chen and the others went back, he also went to bed and fell asleep.
When I got up in the middle of the night to pee, I just got out of bed and felt that something was wrong, my feet were wet, and when I turned on the light, I saw that on the red brick floor, there was already a layer of shallow water, and the wind that came in from under the crack in the door blew the water sparkling and entered the water!
He didn't have time to get dressed, so he ran to the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that the rain was still pouring outside.
They here are close to the east side of the village, behind which is the road that bypasses the village, and then there is a small stream, which has a drop of several meters, and they never thought that the water would flood up, and when they saw the rain, they were afraid that something big would happen!
He hurriedly turned around and woke up his daughter-in-law, hurriedly packed up his things, and took advantage of the wind and rain to send his daughter-in-law and the little girl to the ancestral hall in the middle of the village, which was the highest place in the village, and it was newly built, and he was not afraid of being blown down by the wind!
Looking back, I didn't worry about the eldest sister and them, so I ran down again.
"Uncle!" Wu Chen couldn't open his eyes at all in the wind and rain, he could barely see it half-squinted, the wind was too strong, wrapped in rain, like countless whips whipping them, the road under his feet was not easy to walk, it was all dirt roads, and there were bare stones, he was afraid that his uncle would be anxious, so he tried his best to shout.
At this time, Uncle Wu also saw them, and several people were in the wind and rain, shouting and finally meeting together.
"What about them?" Wu's mother met and asked first, knowing that her younger siblings and niece had already arrived at the ancestral hall, she was relieved.
As the eldest sister in the family, there are several sisters, but there is only such a younger brother, who has been loved since childhood, and later the sisters have married to other villages, leaving her and the younger brother are still in the village, and the relationship is very close, although they later moved to live in the town, but the two families have a lot of contacts.
In the wind and rain, it was not the place to talk at all, everyone roared, and talked about the situation a little, the uncle carried the packages in the hands of Wu Dad and Wu Ma, and Wu Dad took two of them, and Wu Dad just freed his hands, grabbed a package with one hand, and supported Wu Ma with the other, and several people hurried to the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was already crowded with people, because there was no electricity, everyone used flashlights or candles, and the east was a small pile of each other, and then I don't know who lit the fire first.
In the corridor on both sides of the ancestral hall, there are firewood piled up all the year round, although it is a little wet, but it can barely be burned, but the smoke is a little choking, and although the hall of the ancestral hall has a roof, there is no door, the wind drills down from the patio, and the flames are scattered, and some people come out to stop those who still want to continue to make fires.
At the end, it was divided into three small fires, and everyone sat around and waited, but no one knew what they were waiting for? Waiting for dawn? Waiting for the rain to shine? Or wait for someone from above to come down to help the disaster?
"Ahh Especially the eyes of those little girls and daughters-in-law, they glanced at that place if they couldn't slippery, which made him uncomfortable!
"Hey, dude, this won't be gone!" Wu Chen twisted his clothes and put them on his body indiscriminately. I secretly regret that I didn't stuff it into my backpack, that backpack is a waterproof outdoor backpack, otherwise it would be nice to have dry clothes now!
But what's worse is that there are no shoes! Although he was also a barefoot runner when he was a child, he couldn't stand the fact that he hadn't done this for all these years, and his two feet had long been unaccustomed to the sand and gravel. Wu Chen washed in the stagnant water in the patio, but fortunately there were no scratches and broken skin.
"Da Ming! Erniu! The village chief slammed in, and before he could close the door, he shouted at the lobby across the patio, and ordered a dozen of them, all of them were strong men, and followed him out of the hall again.
The incident happened suddenly, he is the head of a village, at this time, and he has to be busy! In addition to notifying the villagers who have not yet retreated, there are also two five-guarantee households, both of which are inconvenient to move and need young people to carry them.
Wu Chen ignored his mother's obstruction and followed him, how can he say that he is also a man in the village, how can he fall behind at this time.
Wu's mother couldn't stop him, so she had to turn around and complain about Wu's father, and she didn't say a word, her son went out of the road, and I don't know how it happened! Dad Wu was annoyed by the nagging, and it took a shout to make the woman honest.
There's a lot going on! He is not an elderly person, although he stays in the ancestral hall, he has to help take care of the elderly and children of various families, and he also has to inspect the situation around the ancestral hall and respond at any time.
Wu's mother was also anxious for a while, and was reprimanded by Wu's father, after being honest, she simply took the little girl with her aunt and did it in the corner, while drying clothes, chatting blindly, and turning around from time to time to look at the car parked in the side aisle, this car is expensive!
The walkway is open-air, and the car is not afraid of wind and rain, but some half-old children are playing, afraid that they will be damaged in the past, and although the fence is tall, there are also some trees flying down, for fear of scratching and smashing!
