Chapter 45: Landslides

Early in the morning, when Li Yang walked out of the house, there was a faint sadness in his heart.

The autumn rains in November came at a good time, and it is estimated that it will last for several days.

Between the ravines, a layer of mist slowly rises, and the slightest light rain shuttles through the mist, and the early morning in the mountains is extraordinarily quiet.

"Out of the pot".

In the kitchen, the mother's excited voice came, "Yangyang, come and have a taste."

Mother's tartary buckwheat is finally made.

In my memory, this was the first time my mother had made tartary buckwheat by herself.

One is that there are not many buckwheat noodles, and the other is that the production process is troublesome, and it is not delicious, and most people are really not used to eating this.

The kitchen is filled with a hot mist, and the outside seems to be two worlds.

The buckwheat dough lay on the misty lattice, looking dull yellow with a hint of black.

It's not pretty, but it looks like it's solid.

Li Yang picked one up with chopsticks, blew it, and took a small bite.

Suddenly, his face changed, and he was just the same as in his memory, bitter.

Li Yang took a big bite and chewed hard.

Not to mention, it seems that the bitterness is not so strong, and it is more chewy.

"How?" The mother looked at herself expectantly.

"Well, it's not bad", Li Yang gave a pertinent evaluation.

The eldest uncle now has to come to Li Yang and them every day, and the rain can't move, even if he doesn't do anything, it doesn't matter, just sit on the threshold, smoking a leaf cigarette.

The eldest uncle tasted the tartary buckwheat made by his mother, nodded and said it was good.

Li Yang told his uncle about his idea of pushing the old house to rebuild, and wanted to ask his opinion.

"If you want to build a wooden house, this is nothing, there are two people in our village who are very good at it, but because the wooden house is not used for a long time, few people can use it," said the uncle.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can manage it for seven or eight years, it's a big deal to rebuild it if it breaks down," Li Yang said.

"Seven or eight years should be no problem, if it is according to this area, it can be done in two or three days," said the uncle.

"What is needed?" Li Yang asked.

"The wood is all made of local materials, and many people in the village have dried whole wood, you go and buy some, and I will write down the rest for you, as for the interior decoration, you can look at it yourself", the uncle said and took Li Yang's paper and pen and wrote.

This rain has been falling for three days, and Li Yang originally wanted to take advantage of the weekend to go down to find Lin Xue, but in the end he had to forget it.

Liu Gang found Li Yang and talked about the situation on the barren mountain.

Because of the rain, everything has stopped at the moment.

In addition, I asked him if something happened to Yang Jin, and Yang Jin went down the mountain the next day.

Li Yang didn't know if Yang Jin was angry because of that sentence, but it didn't matter if he was angry or not, it was better than being embarrassed in the future.

Of course, Li Yang said nothing, just said that he really had a girlfriend, and declined Liu Gang's kindness.

Liu Gang got confirmation from Liu Yingrong, so he had no choice but to leave.

Li Yang has been sketching the structure of the wooden house in the house for the past few days, including some interior decorations, and will start buying it as soon as the rain stops.

Unexpectedly, on the third day, something happened in the village.

It was still raining a lot, Liu Gang was wearing a coat and hurriedly found Li Yang, a landslide occurred on the other side of the village, and a family's house was covered.

Li Yang was shocked the moment he got the news, and then rushed to the landslide site with Liu Gang before he had time to put on his tools and raincoat.

Landslides are really a very scary thing.

The mountain, which is almost hundreds of cubic meters in volume, slides down as a whole, burying all the land and paths along the way, including a mud house.

Seeing the scene is completely different from what you see on TV, the shock to the soul, the awe of nature, makes people feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Quick, save people", Li Yang, when they came, there were already more than a dozen villagers digging.

Li Yang ran over with a hoe and followed the villagers to start digging hard.

The house was half covered, and the other side was fine, but the dirt bypassed the other side, blocking the way out of the house.

Fortunately, the people inside are fine, which is the greatest comfort that God can give.

More than 20 people dug together, and after three hours, they finally dug a passage and rescued the people inside.

Two old men, in their sixties, cried when they saw everyone.

But half an hour after everyone had evacuated, there was another landslide, and the mountain had almost gone down hundreds of meters, and from a distance, it looked like a hole was missing.

Later in the evening, someone from the town came up to see it, asked some people, and heard that there were no casualties, and the matter was settled.

However, the shock to the people in the village was quite large.

It is because of the cutting down of trees and the reclamation of a large amount of land decades ago that we have today.

Although the government did not come up with an explanation, the people of the village began to gather to discuss countermeasures.

I didn't hit you today, that's because you were lucky today, but who can guarantee that it won't be your turn next time.

Li Yang also attended a villagers' meeting on how to prevent landslides.

In fact, it is very simple to prevent landslides, that is, to plant trees, and firmly hold the originally soft soil together, as long as it forms a whole, it is not easy to landslide.

But decades of work can be made up for overnight.

In the end, there is still no good way.

Planting trees, not to say, one is where the saplings come from, which requires money, and how to ensure survival, and the other is how to calculate the land occupied.

Although everyone thinks that it is not necessary to care about this land, it is necessary to give a relatively fair statement.

At the moment, there is no good way to do it.

The autumn rains have stopped for several days, and the landslide is still shocking.

The two old men were arranged by Liu Gang into an empty house, and there were so many houses in the village that no one lived in, so it was arranged for the time being.

As for the beds, quilts, and daily necessities, they were all donated by the people in the village.

Li Yang also went to visit, and personally gave 2,000 yuan, which was a little bit of his heart.

The next day, Liu Gang found Li Yang with a lot of concern and told him something.

"You have also seen the current situation in the village, everyone wants to do something for future generations, this place, our ancestors are here, hundreds of years, after all, there are still roots here, Yangyang, now you have money in the village, you can see if you can contribute some money, buy some saplings for us back", Liu Gang said with a hint of request, very sincere.

Li Yang's face was a little complicated, Liu Gang really wanted to do something for everyone, but sometimes, it's not that you can do it if you have the heart, you still have to have money, and you have to be united.
