Chapter 17: Refuge

However, at this moment, the entire Zhoujiawan villagers have worked together again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Many people's houses have collapsed and cannot be repaired, and the farmland has collapsed and cannot be repaired. The old and young masters rushed to the ridge of the stream to collect local materials, plug the slip hole, build a high embankment, and surround the polder to save the village.

That's the only way to do it right now.

Originally, there was still hope, after all, they all grew up by the lotus stream. It may not be possible to dig a water cellar, but there are still two hands to build a dam and a dam. In particular, he was clear about the surrounding terrain and geometry, and so many strong laborers worked hard day and night, quickly blocked the slide hole, and built a dam more than a foot high, gradually stabilizing the situation.

Only the bottom road is one foot high, although the pepper has not seen it, you can listen to the description of the brothers and sisters, as the wind and rain continue to rise, the water level of the stream is getting higher, and there is no material available, the speed of building the embankment is far from catching up with the speed of breaking the embankment. Yesterday before night, there was even a small stream of water rushing through the embankment, and it began to pour into the village.

The villagers finally blocked the collapse on this side, and the compartment on the other side began to collapse again. It was easy to reinforce the collapse here, and the boundary began to gush......

is so busy that people are on their backs but have nothing to do, and they all understand that the dike that is full of holes is afraid that it will no longer be able to hold on.

And what is also terrifying is that Zhoujiawan is built at the foot of Lotus Mountain. In the past, relying on the water to eat the mountains, the benefits of the Gaoxiang Mountains and the Weixiang Lake District have been accounted for, and the Lotus Mountain and Lotus Creek, which are rich in products, do not know how many years have benefited Zhoujiawan. But now, the hidden dangers of Gaoxiang Wei Township have also not spared Zhoujiawan. The mud and earth are constantly tilting down, and from time to time trees are uprooted, and once the landslide occurs, it is impossible to say that it will be fatal.

Huajiao turned her head to look at the muddy rain at the door, and the third cousin Lilac came from the hall and grabbed the eldest uncle.

The rain was so loud that Hua Jiao could only see what the third cousin was saying with her lips fluttering, but she couldn't hear a word clearly. I saw that the uncle's color changed, and she threw down the work in her hand and hurriedly walked out. The third cousin ran over again and said something loudly to her sister.

Huajiao tilted his head, but only heard the word "refuge".

……

Evacuate from home.

This is a decision that Daddy Qin just made.

But it was also the only result after he thought about it for a day and a night.

The old man kept watch on the embankment day and night, and he had been soaking in the water for two days and two nights without closing his eyes, and he watched the stream rise straight up like the wind.

The day before yesterday, there was still a flash of thunder, but there was no movement in the sky in the past two days, only the pouring rain did not stop.

When an inch of water falls from the sky, it rises by three inches when the brook rises.

And every time he rises an inch, every time he looks at it, Daddy Qin's heart is a little colder.

In just one night, the stream rose nearly three feet. Originally, it was still a big water soup, but now this water surface is calm like never before.

Father Qin knew in his heart that not only Lianxi, but also the lakes, marshes, rivers and ports inside and outside the county town had already overflowed.

So much rain has nowhere to go, then, as a result, there is only one left.

Wiping his face, he looked back at the Lotus Mountain that seemed to have changed not far away, and Father Qin had made up his mind.

It's still the same sentence, people leave their hometowns.

The people of this meeting pay attention to the fact that they do not leave their homes, and their homes are in the people. No one is willing to leave their homes and businesses as a last resort.

Father Qin didn't want to, he was the one who escaped death, and he knew this truth better than anyone else.

Besides, no one knows whether the breaking of the embankment and the landslide will happen under the storm.

Even if he was already in such a field, he didn't dare to pat his chest and promise anything.

But he didn't dare to gamble with the lives of his grandson and daughter.

When people are gone, there is nothing.

Go, only go!

Except for a few children who didn't know what it meant, the rest of the families were momentarily confused when they heard this decision. And after the confusion, there was no second word.

Not blindly followed, but out of belief in Father Qin.

There is no fear or fear left, and there is not much time left for them. I didn't care about the breakfast that was about to be served, and the whole family only cared about getting a steamed bun, so they went separately according to the distribution that Father Qin had already thought about.

The women of the house urgently packed their bags.

Luo hurriedly returned to the house wrapped in peppercorns, and looked at the proper tables and chairs, cage shelves, beds, pillows, and clothes in the room...... On weekdays, I don't think it's going to be cleaned up, but it's a little difficult to start.

I never thought that the family had already purchased so many belongings.

If you want to give up, how to give it.

Children can't leave books and gadgets, women can't leave looms and looms, and men can't put away farm tools.

There are also food and food, makeup and clothing boxes, utensils and cups, grinding buckets, lamps and water tanks...... Even if it is a small and trivial thing, isn't it all a family that suffers bit by bit!

All of them were the same, and the concubines all came to discuss with Roche.

looked at Luo but hesitated for a moment, and then even the loom embroidery frame for the wedding was put aside, and only the clothes and makeup of the family of five were packed and packed, so they had to cut the meat in pain.

In the end, people are more important.

Huajiao walked back and forth with short legs to help Luo Che hand it over, looking at the fourth aunt with tears in her eyes, that is, the eldest aunt who has always been introverted and the second aunt who is refreshing are all red-eyed, but they are a little clear.

Ran to the corner of the wall to open his camphor wood suitcase, rubbing the new and old clothes, shoes and socks purse that he had worn, and he was also full of reluctance.

These clothes, shoes and socks, as well as quilts and capes, were washed and given to her by her sisters, or made by her mother's family with her own hands. There are also spring flags worn in the beginning of spring, bean maid Baisuo in the Dragon Boat Festival, rabbit grass in the Mid-Autumn Hairpin, and big red envelopes in the Spring Festival...... Each thing has its own story, and it is all treasures that she treasures.

But I don't know if I can survive the flood......

When the ladies were packing their luggage, Father Qin had already sent letters to various families in the village. Qin Lianhu took his brothers and nephews to send all the cage baggage, family events, farm tools and tools that could not be taken away from each room to the cellar.

Few people in the south dig cellars at home, and first of all, dampness is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Father Qin, however, according to the customs of the Northland, had dug a cellar in the yard a long time ago. Store some old wine and fruits. But now more than 30 years have passed, and this cellar has become a secret base for the younger generation of the family, and I don't know how many "treasures" are hidden in it.

However, more than ten years ago, when the family was renovating the three adobe upper houses into the current brick houses with blue bricks on the outside and adobe bricks on the inside, Father Qin took his son and made great efforts to dig a cellar in the house with his own hands. At all costs, the entrance is in the landlord's second room, but it is more elaborate than the house. Even over the years, I haven't forgotten to repair it from time to time.

Save some surplus food and silver money on weekdays, just in case. It has never been of such a use, but today it is already stuffed to the full, but this is only to pick up the important ones. The rest of the clumsy things in the house can only be stacked high on the table like this, and tied and fixed with hemp rope.

It took more than an hour to put the home in place. Looking at the empty room, no one feels bad.

While Qin Lianbao had not returned from going to the town to inquire about the situation, the men of the family began to seal the ox cart with oilcloth again. Qin Lao Niang couldn't stay idle, it was too late to steam steamed buns, and she took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to fry rice with pancakes, and prepared as much food as possible just in case.
