Chapter 263: Floods
In the evening, a sumptuous dinner prepared by Yun Yi was set on time, and Yao Kai, Li Mu, and Hu Ke also came to the mid-level platform early.
A game dinner with excellent wine, eating a few young people's mouths full of bellies, originally prepared after the meal yard tea party, but was destroyed by the black clouds drifting in the distance.
Moving with the clouds is a violent wind, and the dirt road under the mountain is blown by the wind, bringing up the yellow sand in the sky; Looking at such weather, Yao Kai, Li Mu and Hu Ke all had no intention of staying, and after going to the Taoist temple to say goodbye to the old man, they hurriedly left the mid-mountain platform.
Not long after a few people left the mid-mountain platform, the clouds in the distance pressed even lower, and the sky was covered tightly in a dark light; The frenzied wind did not weaken in the slightest, blowing the small trees from side to side, and even the bamboo forest in the distance was blown off a lot of bamboo.
Such strong winds are very difficult to encounter in the village of River Valley, after all, due to the terrain restrictions, strong winds rarely blow into the valley; But this year, the weather is too abnormal, although the old farmers who cultivate the land know that a long drought will have a long rain; But the ink has not rained for several days, and it looks like this time it is menacing!
In the old village below the mountain, there are chickens and dogs jumping at this time, calling for the parents of their daughters, shouting to collect their clothes, and the old people hurrying home; The sound of one after another, and the busy figure suddenly rendered the silent mountain village.
Yun Yi also hurriedly packed up the medicinal materials in the yard with Chen Mu and Uncle Lao Tan and brought them into the house, the weather is good these days. The old man also poured out all the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet and dried them.
The rain is the size of the bean, but fortunately, the hands and feet of Yunyi and the others are quick enough, otherwise they have to get wet.
The sound of swishing suddenly became urgent. As soon as the rain fell, the strong wind, which had been raging before, suddenly stopped, and the black and oppressive clouds seemed to be pitch-black at the bottom of a pot, and there were thicker and thicker forms, no lightning, no wind, and it was so dull that it made people panic.
A raindrop, a blister. In the blink of an eye, the ground of the yard became a small river, and the sewer that is usually used to dissipate water is simply not enough, and the water surface of the entire yard. The speed visible to the naked eye is rapidly rising, and it is about to overflow the threshold of the yard.
"It's raining too much...!" Looking at the courtyard dam that flooded the golden mountain, Yun Yi sighed in shock.
"Well, it's a bit unusual!" The old uncle on the side also agreed. It's just that there is a trace of worry on his face more than Yunyi.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier. There was no tendency to weaken at all, and soon the water surface in the dam of the courtyard turned over the threshold of the courtyard gate; Yun Yi, who was hiding in the house, didn't know that in just a moment, the river level of the entire Qingshui River skyrocketed by dozens of centimeters, and the crystal clear river channel also became turbid.
A bright lightning bolt suddenly crossed the dark sky, and with the brief light of the lightning, Yun Yi could no longer see what was five meters away.
"Boom... Thundered... Boom..."
The huge thunder shook the eardrums! also startled Yunyi, as if the thunder was outside the courtyard.
The first thunderclap sounded. The whole village of Riverdale was plunged into boundless darkness; Fortunately, there were candles at home, and there was not much time for the power outage. Chen Mu lit up the light.
The rumbling thunder rang out one after another, mixed with torrential rain washing the earth, as if to make up for the rain owed for the month.
The heavy rain directly trapped several old men in the Taoist temple, such a big umbrella was not used at all, and Yunyi had no choice but to wait for the rain to subside before sending them umbrellas.
More than an hour passed, and Yun Yi took advantage of the rain to pick up a few old men in the middle of the way, but just like that, the trouser legs of several old men were all wet by the rain.
After changing their clothes, several old men gathered in the hall; Looking at the rain outside, which was getting heavier again, everyone had worries on their faces.
"Grandpa, what are you...?" Yun Yi, who came over with ginger soup, asked suspiciously when he saw the expressions of the old men.
"Alas... It's been a long time since I've had such a rainstorm, and I don't know how many fields will be washed away this time! The old man said with a sigh.
"It's... It's not so strict, is it...? Yunyi asked uncertainly.
"Let's hope...!" Old Man Li also spoke.
After drinking the ginger soup, several old men chatted for a while before they went back to the house to rest, and only Yunyi and Uncle Lao Tan were still cleaning up in the hall.
From the evening to now, this rainstorm has been falling for several hours, although it is already a little smaller, but it is not much smaller, occasionally after the lightning through that moment of light, Yun Yi still sees a vast piece of rain.
With a slight uneasiness, Yunyi finally fell asleep in a daze; And just when Yunyi was asleep, Chen Ming in the sinkhole was constantly transferring supplies with all the machines.
This time the heavy rain for several hours has made the water level of the dark river in the tunnel leading to the sinkhole continue to rise, and now it has begun to pour into the sinkhole, and the entire sinkhole has now become an ocean, the waist-deep water level is still rising, and the small courtyard built in it is almost halfway through, and there are wooden furniture floating on the water surface of the courtyard.
At this time, Chen Ming didn't care about the things in the courtyard at all, he was organizing the machine to dismantle the refining equipment of the energy crystal pillar, and when he sent the last foundation seat to the platform halfway up the cliff wall; Due to the slightly lower terrain on the side of the small courtyard, the river water has completely submerged the roof.
In the wine valley manor that runs through the river, the surging water of the Qingshui River is not far from the dam surface of the embankment on both banks, and the connecting canal connecting the manor is also full of water at this time, and many swimming fish have poured to the shore with the help of the rising water surface.
In the slightly low-lying places, there is no road to be found; Looking at the pouring rain that continued to fall, Li Mu walked around the office worriedly.
After using the walkie-talkie to tell the security guards in the manor to pay attention to the inspection, Li Mu put on a raincoat and plunged into the heavy rain; Just as worried as inside was Hu Ke, who had returned to the organic vegetable planting base, and at this time he was also constantly patrolling the vegetable greenhouse near the river bank with a few of his subordinates.
Many people in the old village have already been flooded, and many villagers are constantly scooping water outside the door under the dim candlelight; Buckets, scoops, basins, and all the utensils that can be used to hold water are used; But there was so much rain pouring into the house that the whole family couldn't get into the water at a speed.
When the sky was slightly bright, the raindrops finally subsided, but the whole river valley village had become a country, especially the old village, where sewage was overflowing everywhere, and there was no place to put your feet down, and several low-rise families even drowned some pigs and sheep.
Li Dazhuan was leading the villagers to rescue, especially Mrs. Wang, when Li Dazhuan brought people to her house, the old woman had been forced to the cabinet by the water.
Yunyi's house is much better than the village because of its high terrain on the half-mountain platform on the west bank, but the rain still accumulates knee-deep in the yard.
Seeing that the rain was subduing, Yun Yi found a raincoat, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked out with an iron drill and hammer; He was going to widen the drain a little, otherwise the water in the dam would not flow clean for a while.
The torrential rain in Hegu Village this time was even stricter than that time in '98, and as soon as the morning dawned, the first thing that families were busy with was to pick up the mess, and no one had time to pay attention to the crops in the fields.
After looking at the water rushing out of the courtyard and the cloud that had chiseled the gap, he had time to look up at the foot of the mountain; However, the river valley village that reflected Yunyi's eyelids has lost the tranquility and nature of the past, and there is a dim stream of water everywhere, sewage overflowing, and garbage everywhere; And the deep ditches left behind by the heavy water in the paddy fields.
The crops in the fields were almost all lying in the mud, and the green leaves were covered with mud; Looking at the qiē in front of him, Yun Yi's mouth opened wide in shock, he couldn't believe that the whole village had become like this overnight.
Yun Yi, who had been silent for a long time, had a twitch on his face, dropped the iron drill and hammer in his hand, and ran down the mountain before he had time to say a word to Uncle Sù Lao Tan. (To be continued......)
