Chapter 32: The Waters Are Rising
Today, there is no need for a raincoat to support the shed, just spread it on the grass, Liu Shuangshuang took out the meal, in addition to rice, there is vinegared cabbage, and there are many meat slices in it, Liu Shuangshuang picked the meat slices to Sun Yi, and Sun Yi divided half of the shredded potatoes he fried.
Sun Yi looked up at the sky while eating, and at the same time sniffed deeply a few times, there was a cool breeze in the hot weather, and he smelled a faint fishy smell, it was going to rain.
Looking at the thick clouds on the horizon, Sun Yi's face became grim, and the small river not far away, the river was already slightly turbid.
"Xiaoshuang, hurry up and eat, we'll leave after eating!" Sun Yidao.
"Ahh There is also a basket that is empty! Liu Shuangshuang was a little reluctant.
Sun Yi smiled bitterly and said: "You little girl, why are you so obsessed with money, look at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain, and this rain can't be small, control the mountains and rivers, the big river is rising, the two of us can't go back, we have to be trapped on the mountain for three or two days!" ”
Liu Shuangshuang stuck out his tongue and knew the severity of the matter.
When it rains heavily in the mountains, especially from upstream, the water from the mountains will pour down into the rivers and rivers in the shortest possible time, and the water level can rise by about one meter in a few hours.
But the water in the mountains comes quickly, goes fast, the water will subside in a short period of time, the people in the mountains have long been accustomed to it, so it is not a good thing, but running the mountains is different, once trapped in the mountains, if the water level dissipates in a short period of time, if the heavy rain does not end, trapped in the mountains is simply a disaster.
I hurriedly ate a bite of food and cleaned up, today is only half of the previous day, so it is also light to pull.
As soon as the two of them set off, rain began to fall from the sky, and rolling thunder also came from the sky, and from time to time a hideous lightning bolt was crossed, and then a thunderclap sounded, and a little white was so frightened that he screamed in the air.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the two hurriedly put on raincoats, and a little white was also hugged into their arms, and then looked to the west where the rain came, Sun Yi's face changed suddenly, and even Liu Shuangshuang grabbed Sun Yi's clothes in a panic.
I saw that the sky was white, and something like Mu Bu was quickly pushed towards them.
"It's broken, it's hail!" Sun Yi exclaimed, quickly took an empty big basket, hugged Liu Shuangshuang tightly into his arms, and squatted down with a button on his head, and the huge basket was buckled upside down to protect them inside.
With a stormy roar, hailstones the size of Damu's fingers seemed to fall directly from the sky, and the baskets clattered, and if they were not protected by the baskets, they would have been smashed all over their heads.
Liu Shuangshuang hid in Sun Yi's arms, his body trembled, in front of the power of heaven and earth, that feeling of insignificance made people have a deep sense of powerlessness, only by hiding in this warm and wide embrace, there would be some sense of security.
The summer hail came and went quickly, and in less than ten minutes, the hail swept by, leaving a three-finger-thick Xiaoice ball on the ground, followed by the pouring rain smashing the head and covering the face, and the world was white, making people unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
Fortunately, this road has been familiarized, Sun Yi dragged Liu Shuangshuang with one hand, and dragged the climbing plow behind him with the other hand to walk out of the mountain with difficulty.
After walking for a while, Sun Yi stopped, "No, we can't ask for these things, we must rush back as much as possible, otherwise the water level of the big river will rise, and we will all be trapped!" Sun Yi loosened the rope, and didn't care about climbing the plow, Liu Shuangshuang would be completely stunned by the heavy rain, what did Sun Yi say.
Sun Yi carried Liu Shuang's shoulders in both directions, walked quickly, and lay in his arms very obediently without moving.
The road conditions are complicated, coupled with the hazy smoke and rain caused by the heavy rain, it is impossible to see the road clearly, and there is no strength to speed up.
Sun Yi walked in the jungle with Liu Shuangshuang on his back for an hour, the heavy rain did not decrease at all, Sun Yi's heart sank even more, the water level of the small river he crossed began to rise, and when he waded to the third small river, the river water that was originally only knee-high has now flooded to his waist, and the small river has so much water, let alone the big river.
With great difficulty, they reached the edge of the river, and sure enough, the turbid water rolled up the waves a foot high, roaring downstream, and from time to time some dead trees floated and settled in the river.
Sun Yi led Liu Shuangshuang to stand on a high place, watching the river rise little by little, there was no way at all, no matter how good the water was, people would not dare to swim in this crazy rising river.
"It's over, the two of us are trapped! Hopefully this rain will stop soon! Sun Yi looked at the heavy rain that had not stopped, and his face was a little bitter.
"Brother, what should we do? What to do! Liu Shuangshuang was completely out of ideas.
"Get a place to shelter from the rain first! Let's go higher again! Sun Yi took Liu Shuangshuang's hand and walked to a higher place, the woodland of the jungle was full of water, the shallow places did not reach the surface of the feet, and the deep places even reached the knees.
Sun Yi chose a small mound of earth that was a little higher and flattened all the grass on it, at least there would not be too much water in this place.
Wrapped a little white with rain pants, and then picked up some arm-thick wooden poles against the wind and rain, Liu Shuangshuang didn't dare to leave a single step, and followed Sun Yi tightly to fold branches in the forest.
Five or six wooden poles were collected, and there were not many tools in hand, so one end of these wooden poles could only be tied with bark, and then raised again, forming a conical support, which is what the traditional wooden stunned of the Oroqen ethnic minority looks like.
The wind in the rain was too strong, and while laying the branches of broad-leaved miscellaneous trees on the wood, and tying them with bark, I was busy for more than half an hour, and finally saw a little rudimentary form.
Hiding in this wooden stunned, it was raining heavily outside, and it was raining moderately inside, but the rain was already lighter, and they were wearing raincoats, but they couldn't stop the heavy rain, and the two of them were soaked from the inside out.
The heavy rain finally stopped at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the thick dark clouds in the sky drifted eastward at a speed visible to the naked eye, a ray of sunlight sprinkled down, the sky and the earth were clear, the mountains and forests after the heavy rain exuded a strong fresh smell, and there was a thick moisture, take a deep breath, feel comfortable all over the body, but unfortunately the whole body is not very cool.
The coolness after the heavy rain only lasted for a moment, and was replaced by the heat of the sun, and when he walked to the edge of the forest, the river water in the big river was still turbid, surging, and from time to time there were several large whirlpools two or three meters wide, and the dead wood as thick as a person's waist was directly rolled into the bottom of the river.
It is estimated that this flood will not recede until at least tomorrow, and it is useless to rush now, it is better to dry the clothes first, and then reserve some firewood, and at night, if there is no fire to light a cigarette, those mosquitoes, small bites and blind midges alone can kill people, and blood sucking can also suck people to death.
took off his raincoat and put it on the grass to dry, his body was still dripping with water, Liu Shuangshuang occupied the other side of the shack, Sun Yi was on this side, the two began to undress, and picked it with a wooden pole to dry.
Listening to the sound of undressing less than two meters away, and then thinking of Liu Shuangshuang's delicate eyebrows and slender figure, Sun Yi's heartbeat accelerated, but when he thought of this kind of thing, the whole person felt a heavy sense of guilt.
Sun Yiqiang calmed himself down and said loudly: "Shuangshuang, throw your clothes over, and I'll wring them out for you!" ”
On the other side, Liu Shuangshuang, who was only wearing underwear and was wringing water, was stunned, and his face suddenly turned red, but he still obediently threw the clothes from the roof of the shed, and when he threw the pants, a breeze blew, and the pants were out of direction and fell behind the shed.
"I'll pick it up!" Sun Yidao.
"Wait!" Liu Shuangshuang hurriedly picked up a raincoat to cover himself.
Sun Yi is now slick, only wearing a raincoat around his waist as a skirt, walking over to pick up Liu Shuangshuang's pants, and when he turned his head, he saw Liu Shuangshuang staring at him with a pair of big round eyes, and there was panic in his eyes, and there was a feeling that was too complicated to speak.
Sun Yi gritted his teeth and smiled, his eyes wandered back, just a glimpse of the sky made Sun Yi's heart unable to calm down for a long time, even if Liu Shuangshuang blocked most of his body, but the small collarbone, as well as the white shoulder straps, and even more terrible, only a small section of the white and tender calf was exposed, which made Sun Yi's heart pound, she was really a terrible little girl.
Sun Yi rubbed his face, suppressed the dirty thoughts in his head, twisted his clothes, and then hung on a wooden stick and shook it, making it dry faster under the scorching sun.
In less than half an hour, the clothes were all dry, Sun Yi threw the clothes back, put them on himself, and then began to lead Liu Shuangshuang around to search for dry firewood, the rain of the grass branches in the forest has evaporated in a short time, but in the shade, there is still a strong moisture, if you are not careful, you will step into a knee-high puddle, and the two of them have not been dry with their thighs down.
When the sun approached the top of the mountain, I finally collected enough dry firewood to spread out and dry it, and when the mosquitoes started at night, it was almost time to dry.
The two of them sat by the river and watched the turbid water churn, Sun Yi noticed that the river had begun to recede, almost half a foot lower than when it had just rained, and the water had receded faster than he expected.
Liu Shuangshuang next to him watched the sunset for a while, and his body kept writhing.
"What's wrong?" Sun Yi asked.
"I ...... I want to go to the toilet! ”
"Then go and find a random place to solve it! I promise not to look back! Sun Yi said with a smile.
Liu Shuangshuang blushed with shame, nodded slightly, ran quickly to the back, and ran more than fifty meters away in one breath, which was completely blocked by the forest and artemisia grass, and then he was relieved.
Found a place where the grass was low, unbuttoned his pants and squatted down, the water trails gradually expanded to all sides, in order to prevent his feet from stepping on these water trails, Liu Shuangshuang kept moving his feet forward, and suddenly stepped on a dead branch two fingers thick, and stepped on it softly.
