Chapter 142: Landslide

Lianghekou is a village in the middle of a dozen villages within Hujia Village. Built against the mountain, the main road in the village is dug according to the wall, if the landslide occurred at the mouth of the two rivers, Hu Xiaomei is not surprised. Months of heavy rain can easily loosen the rock formations of the mountain, and the road at the mouth of the two rivers is just below the mountain wall, so it is very likely that people will die.

Fox Dayou and Thirteen hurried to the mountain, and Fox Xiaomei also wanted to go out to look for it, but Thirteen said: "...... You are a girl, you don't walk as fast as us men, and it's not safe in the mountains, if you go out again, when we find the eldest lady and come back, we can't see you, and we have to go out to find you again. ”

Fox Xiaomei didn't go out, and naturally she didn't let the fox fence go out, the two waited anxiously at home, and a quarter of an hour later, Wei Sanniang and Fox Fence Xiang came back safely with Fox Dayou.

It's just the mud on Thirteen's legs, and there is a long cut on the arm, but fortunately, the wound is not deep, and only a little blood is shed. Wei Sanniang's pants were muddy at the hem, and the rest of the place was completely fine.

"What's going on?" Fox Xiaomei said.

Wei Sanniang looked at Thirteen gratefully, and said: "The road on the mountain is too slippery, and when I went downhill, I didn't stabilize and almost fell down the mountain, but fortunately Thirteen pulled me, but he fell on his own, his arm was also broken, and he made such a long cut." ”

"Yes, fortunately, Thirteen is fast, and I only reacted when I followed behind, and he grabbed your mother." Fox Dayou is also very happy, and he still has some self-blame.

Thirteen comforted him and said, "I'm close to my mother, aren't you still behind me?" He said to Wei Sanniang and Hu Lixiang: "This mountain is too unsafe, don't go to the mountain again in the future." ”

On the way, Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang had already heard Fox Dayou tell him about the two estuary. The two were also a little scared at this time.

"Fortunately, our Hujia Village is fine, but it is better to go less on the mountain in the future."

"Not necessarily." Thirteen muttered: "Although I don't know what the specific situation is at the mouth of the two rivers, but there is indeed a landslide, the sand and gravel and mud on the mountain fall down, if people don't know and walk below, they will definitely be stoned to death, since that kind of thing can happen in the mountains of the two estuary, and this kind of thing will also happen in the mountains of other villages." ”

"I haven't seen anything like this happen when it rains before. This year, there were torrential rains and landslides, and crops were destroyed. It's been a rough year. I think the emperor of the Celestial Empire should go and worship the gods! "Fox Fence Xiang is full of worry.

"It's useless to worship anyone with this kind of natural disaster!" Fox Xiaomei said.

"The landslide happened because months of rain caused the mountain to loosen. It just so happened that there was an opportunity or coincidence, so it caused the mountain. ”

Fox Xiaomei looked at Thirteen in surprise, she didn't expect this person to have these understandings, but Thirteen was only right. There are many real causes of landslides. One of the most important things has to do with the quality of the soil in the mountains. Generally speaking. All kinds of rocks and soils may constitute landslide bodies, in which the structure is loose, and the shear strength and weathering resistance are low. Under the action of water, the slope composed of rocks and soils whose properties can change, such as loose overburden, loess, red clay, shale, mudstone, coal measure strata, tuff, schist, slate, phyllite, etc., and soft and hard rock layers is prone to landslides.

The soil components of the two estuaries should be mudstone, tuff, and red clay. In addition, there is too much rain, which increases the pressure on the river in the mountain and the river water in the mountain, so it leads to landslides.

However, there are many trees on the mountains in Hujia Village, and most of them are mud and sand, and there are very few rock formations, so it is 90% impossible for a landslide to happen.

But Hu Xiaomei doesn't plan to break it, more than thirteen people may not understand this knowledge, but will have questions about her.

Wei Sanniang almost fell down the mountain, which really frightened her and Hu Lixiang, and when she heard about the Lianghekou Mountain, she decided not to go to the mountain again. The two of them did not run in vain on the mountain, and picked a lot of wild fruits.

As for the matter of the fox fence, Fox Dayou went to the school to see, closed the courtyard door, and asked the people next to him to know that the school has not been open since the rainstorm.

Fox Dayou is not the only one who knows about the Lianghekou, there are a few people in the village who have been to the bazaar have heard the news, and in the afternoon, this matter has spread throughout the entire Hujia Village, and everyone is talking about it on the village road without knowing the truth of this matter.

Later, Tang Daming proved this, and he gathered the whole village.

“…… At that time, I couldn't believe it, but I went to the mayor's mansion to inquire about it, and it turned out that it was indeed true, and that the matter was far more serious than we thought...... At that time, a lot of stones and dirt fell on the road under the mountain, and some of them blocked the road. I'm afraid there was already an early warning at that time, but it's a pity that we, the common people, have never encountered this thing, and we don't know how to do it. Later, the village chief of Lianghekou organized people to clean up the road, who knows, maybe it is also fate, the mountain suddenly began to collapse, and the villagers who were working below were stoned to death, and the injured were injured...... The mayor has already sent someone to bring a doctor over to inquire......"

“…… The reason I tell you about this is not to let the big guy use it as a seasoning after tea and dinner, but to let the big guy be careful, don't go to the mountain in recent days, the bridge leading to Weijia Village in our village has been soaked by the river a few days ago, and the wooden bridge has been repaired for many years, so you must be careful when crossing the bridge......"

“…… We were born and raised in this place, this is the place chosen by the ancestors, maybe the ancestors fancy these mountains and waters, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. Our ten villages are all built near the mountains. In the past, it was good when there were no accidents, that is, they could farm, raise livestock, and plant some fruit forests against the mountains. Now that something happens, these former advantages have all become disadvantages......"

Tang Daming's words made everyone frown, and their faces were sad, full of worry.

Fox Xiaomei agrees but disagrees. Although these mountains may be a hazard, the trees on the mountains are beneficial, such as the continuous rainfall for months, if there is a landslide, it is a small disaster, and if there is a mudslide, it is a major natural disaster. At that time, the trees and forests will be life-saving.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in Hu Xiaomei's mind, panic flashed on her face, she hesitated in her heart, and the whole conference was absent-minded. Now that there are disasters one after another, Wei Sanniang doesn't care about her thoughts.

After returning home, she was also in a state of despair, until the next day, Thirteen couldn't bear it, so he quietly asked her, "What are you thinking?" Yesterday when we had a meeting, I saw that you were preoccupied. ”

Fox Xiaomei looked at him strangely, this person actually knew that she had been worried since the meeting!

Although the thoughts in her heart are a little incredible, but landslides have happened, how can mudslides not happen? This kind of thing can't wait until it happens, everything has to be prepared in advance, especially now that they are short of food, and all supplies are particularly precious. Although there are several villages between the mouth of the two rivers and Hujia Village, a large river flows down from the mountain unimpeded, and if the mudslide comes down, it must come along the river.

After thinking about it, she told Thirteen the worries in her heart, and Thirteen frowned after hearing this, and looked at her with dark eyes for a while, and finally said, "This kind of thing you said is very likely to happen." ”

Hearing this, Hu Xiaomei seemed to be relieved in her heart, fortunately someone believed him.

"However, there is no basis for this matter, and I am afraid that no one will believe it." Thirteen ways.

This is also the reason why Hu Xiaomei didn't dare to tell everyone.

"However, if this happens, the village will be affected to some extent, and it is inevitable that the farmland will be destroyed, so in this case, we can do some preparatory work first." Fox Xiaomei said.

Thirteen nodded, deeply agreeing with Hu Xiaomei's words, and then asked her: "Then what do you say you should prepare, do you need to build something at home, or go to the market to buy something, I'll do it!" ”

It's like, I say, 'I have a peerless problem ahead of me.' And he immediately patted his chest and promised: I will not hesitate to go to the oil pot on the knife mountain for you!

It's quite impressive!

For the first time, Fox Xiaomei felt that it was the wisest thing to let Thirteen move into their house.

If you want to say that it is too late to build anything, if there is mudflowstone, I am afraid it is also a recent thing, she just wants to go to the market as much as possible to buy some things she needs before the disaster is greater, and the two discussed for a while, and decided to talk to Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou in the evening.

Things are prepared, there are numbers in my heart, there are thirteen to help share the worries, the depression in Hu Xiaomei's heart has dissipated a little, and she realized afterwards that in fact, all this was guided by thirteen to her.

In the evening, Hu Xiaomei told Hu Dayou and others about her guess, and several people were surprised, and after the thirteen agreed, Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang also had to take this issue seriously.

"If this really happens, our village should not be too serious even if it is affected so far away, right?" Wei Sanniang, who has always been shrewd, also hesitated at this time.

"Whether it's serious or not, we have to be prepared first, go buy as much as we can, whether it happens or not, but this year's floods can already be seen now, it's very serious, so the further back it gets, the colder it gets, and the harder it is to buy some things. When the time comes, things like grain, for example, may not be available for money. Hu Xiaomei straightened her back and sat at the table, and said with a heavy and serious face.

Thirteen still nodded in agreement, "It's entirely possible. ”

"And what do you think you should buy?" The question that Hu Xiaomei said can be understood as soon as she thinks about it, so Hu Dayou didn't refute it, and asked directly.

"The ox cart is too expensive, and we can't afford it now, so we can buy a wheelbarrow, if you go out in the future, it is very convenient to stack some things on it, and you don't need to be carried by anyone, delaying things."

"What? Buying a unicycle? Fox Lixiang shouted first: "Why do you buy that thing, we didn't think about buying that thing when we had a good time before the flood, and now we still buy that?" ”

"It's not the same time it used to be." Hu Xiaomei patiently explained: "If we didn't have to buy a wheelbarrow before, we would have bought an oxcart if we wanted to." It's hard to raise your own now, how can you raise cattle, so buy a wheelbarrow, there are thirteen, and you can change it with your father when the time comes. ”

Thirteen nodded again: "I have a lot of strength, it's no problem to push a wheelbarrow, this kind of thing will be left to me in the future." ”

"If we don't buy a wheelbarrow, how can we get too many things? How to put it? …… Again, like quilts and thick clothes, these must be well kept, if it rains on the road, is it possible that we are still carrying a bunch of things? ......" (To be continued.) )
