In a blink of an eye, it was June 12th, a very ordinary day, to say something special, that is, the Qingshui River had an unprecedented Dragon Boat Festival two days in advance.

It was only ten o'clock in the morning, and the earth seemed to be scorched by the sun. Usually, the pleasant wind in the classroom (in these years, Qingshuihe Primary School is so simple that except for a few pieces of rare glass installed in the windows of the teacher's office building, all the classrooms are transparent and transparent with four walls) and I don't know where to go, so that the teachers and students in the classroom are all sweaty by this terrible high temperature, and they are eager to go into the ground to find coolness.

It is a miracle that on such a hot day, not a single student fainted from "heat stroke". On such a hot day, like many students, I was as if nothing had happened on the surface, but in my heart I desperately hoped and expected that it would be best not to go to class in the afternoon, and even if I could not take a half-day holiday, the minute hand of the clock would tick and tick like a second hand so that the bell would ring quickly.

Of course, there are not a few people who have this idea, but it is only an idea, and most of them are accused of "others can bear it, but you are squeamish, and you can't stand it if you are so hot, how to be a qualified successor in the future?" "If you want to be bored for this, it is better to attend classes with peace of mind, listen attentively, and in order to gain knowledge, even if it is a little bitter in the "scorching heat", it is far less than the suffering of the old scholars for ten years, not to mention the 25,000 of our Red Army.

It's useless to think about it, what should come will come. No, at half past five in the afternoon, the rapid and familiar "Ding Ding Ding" still looked forward to the heart, and finally spread to every corner of the campus on time, so that the long-awaited teachers and students were relieved, but at this moment, the whole sky suddenly dark clouds rolled, lightning and thunder, and the wind flew sand and rocks. When the heavy rain was about to come and the wind filled the building, the school issued an urgent notice that "school will be released immediately, and all students in the school will not line up to listen to the lectures and sing, and they will not be allowed to stay on campus unless there is a special reason." ”

This decision was understandable, but the next day it was proved to be somewhat improper. Of course, there was also something that should not have happened, or at least should have been foreseen and avoided-two students were struck by lightning on the way home, and people realized that there was nothing more dangerous and absurd than letting hundreds of elementary school students run wild in the field when lightning and thunder were roaring and heavy rain was coming.

This Dragon Boat Festival underwater is really a big one, two long and three hateful. For twelve hours in a row, the ruthless rain master, instigated by the drunken Reber, poured all the rainwater from all over the world into the little-known land of the Qingshui River (commune). In one night, the fertile land on both sides of the Qingshui River, which is more than two miles wide and more than ten miles long, turned into a vast ocean, and there were more than a dozen mudslides and landslides in the cottage villages in the commune. More than 50 percent of the earthen houses have been destroyed, more than 90 percent of the crops have been destroyed, and the terraced fields that have been cultivated with great effort have also been destroyed, and the common people have all stomped their feet and beaten their chests and wept bitterly because of this tragic situation -- God, if the houses are destroyed, we can dig up the soil and rebuild them, and if the terraced fields are destroyed, we can collectively rebuild them, but the surplus of public grain and our rations are destroyed, how can we serve the country? What do you want us to eat? Although this is far less than the forty days and nights of non-stop divine fury that Noah saw, it can be regarded as a once-in-a-hundred years disaster.

Aunt Qiu Yun learned that the school had temporarily decided to leave school a quarter of an hour earlier, so she hurriedly ran to the principal's office and talked to Rao Ruoguo about her opinions and thoughts: "Principal, let me make a long story short, now, lightning is going to pierce the sky and the earth, and the thunder is going to scare people and all souls, can you let the students not leave the school first, and wait to see how the weather changes before making another decision?" Rao Ruoguo naturally would not accept such a suggestion, even if he knew that it was good out of public intentions, but considering that Aunt Qiu Yun was the lover of the middle school principal, he responded kindly: "Teacher Qiu Yun, whether it is public or private, I want to thank you for your kindness, honesty and concern, but at this time, if you don't let the students leave the school immediately, if something happens, no one can bear this responsibility!" ”

The responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai, who has the ability to bear it! Aunt Qiu Yun thinks and reflects ideas from the perspective of an ordinary teacher, and Rao Ruoguo looks at and deals with problems from the perspective of principals and leaders.

Aunt Qiu Yun returned to the dormitory very unpleasantly, and saw that I had pushed the bicycle outside and stood next to the car and waited, she hurriedly said anxiously: "My current, you hurry up to the intersection in front of you to have a look, if there are students from Siyuan (middle school), let them come here first to avoid it, such a strong thunder and lightning weather, it is very dangerous to walk on the road." ”

"Oh." I said yes, and ran to the intersection to wait for someone, but after a few minutes, I walked back dejectedly, and replied disappointing to Aunt Qiu Yun who was waiting in front of the door: "Auntie, there is no one to be seen in the entire campus, and it is estimated that all of them have run away except for the two of us." ”

"In that case, let's go into the house." Aunt Qiu Yun sideways asked me to enter the house, and sighed to herself: "Alas, this bad ghost weather, I hope the students can rush home safely." ”

After Aunt Qiu Yun and I entered the house, as soon as we closed the doors and windows, the sky suddenly became unusually dark, and a series of powerful lightning bolts accompanied by earth-shattering thunder, the power supply was cut off. She just casually said, "Probably the commune's transformer was broken by lightning, so I asked me to take out the prepared candle and light it." The rain began to pour down.

I tacitly rolled a piece of waste paper into a cylinder and lit it on the fire eye of the sand oven, lit the candle in Aunt Qiu Yun's hand, and asked tentatively, "Auntie, are you afraid?" The thunder struck louder than the other, and the earth seemed to tremble, and the wind blew like a ghost howling a wolf, as if it were about to tear off the roof alive. ”

Aunt Qiu Yun drips the lit candle diagonally onto the table with melted wax so that she can stand up the lit candle, and is saying, "What is there to be afraid of?" A bolt of lightning struck the window, followed by a thunderclap that resounded through the world, and she shuddered in fright, and the candle fell from her hand to the table, and she instinctively hugged me as she stood beside her.

"Heh," my body trembled a little, and if I wanted to say that I wasn't frightened or afraid, it was false, but I still laughed happily: "You still say you're not afraid, isn't it?" ”

"How dare you make fun of your aunt with your 'crow's mouth'!" Aunt Qiu Yun's face flushed, and she laughed at herself: "If you don't have Auntie holding it like this, no matter how bold you are, you won't be frightened and cry out by the thunder mother who suddenly broke into the window in front of the door, just wait until you have a nightmare in the middle of the night and shout loudly: Auntie, I'm so scared, I want you to sleep with you!" ”

"In the end, the one who was teased was good at dreaming." I replied humorously, and then asked thoughtfully: "Auntie, if the heavy rain keeps falling like this, we won't be able to go back to Siyuan, shouldn't Daddy be particularly worried?" ”

"It's wiser to let Daddy worry at home than for us to take risks on the road." Aunt Qiu Yun seemed to understand something all of a sudden, and pretended to be angry and said, "Truthfully invited, do you want the heavy rain to keep falling like this?" ”
