Chapter 170: Independence
I didn't see all the imagination before and it didn't add up to what I saw with my own eyes.
This is exactly at the entrance of Wanjia Village, there are no residents, and a large tree that looks very old has been exposed to wind and rain there, but even standing at the head of the village, you can see how bad the situation inside is.
They didn't expect that the mudslide was not only outside blocking the way!
Looking at the two mudslides that rushed down from the mountain to the head of the village, where the momentum of the rush had slowed down, Chen Chen couldn't help but run in quickly.
"Who are you?" After walking a short distance, Chen Chen saw a person, and as soon as he approached him and before he could speak, the other party spoke vigilantly first, holding the farm tool used to pick up the mud and sand in his hand and clenching it hard, and if he didn't do it, he would pick it up and beat someone.
Chen Chen showed a smiling face, deliberately making himself look like a gentle old man, "I'm here to find a child, his name is Zhang Jiabao, he came in yesterday afternoon, did you see him?" ”
"I'm looking for a little boy!" Unexpectedly, the man relaxed, and showed a simple smile in a place where the environment was really not a haode, "The little boy and the village chief led everyone to the east, saying that it was too dangerous in the village, and they should quickly find a place for everyone to shelter from the wind and rain, so as not to ...... lest any more people be buried in the sand. ”
Speaking of zuihou, the smile on Dahan's face was gone, and he turned away with sadness.
Chen Chen has always felt that if he is not a disciple of Wuwei Dao Master, some things have become their responsibility and have to be completed by them, he will definitely be a person who will not be saved in the face of death.
So he didn't feel too touched by this man who obviously lost his relatives. Without even asking a word more, he thanked him and went in the direction he pointed.
But seeing that the child was running around in the rain with simple rain gear, and the voice that had begun to be not so crisp and bright came occasionally, he felt that he was really indifferent and annoying.
"Brother Chen?!" Zhang Jiabao turned around, and when he saw who was standing behind him, he happily called out the private names of the two, wiped his face and trotted over, "Why are you here?" Isn't the road blocked? ”
"I want to come over, but your sister is very worried, if she is not sure that you are okay, how can she feel at ease."
It was late October. Days of rain came down. The weather was already very cold, Chen Chen felt a little cold, and couldn't help frowning when he saw Jiabao's simple rain gear worn and unworn. "You didn't come out wearing this, did you?"
"My sister would give me this." Zhang Jiabao touched the shabby clothes that didn't play much role. "I'm using that for the village chief. He is old, and he has an old disease on his shoulder, and this rain comes and goes. How can I resist with this thing, I'm young and not afraid. ”
Chen Chen was noncommittal, looked at the group of people who were busy working around a dilapidated house and asked, "How many people are there in Wanjia Village?" ”
"More than 400 people." Zhang Jiabao followed his line of sight and looked over, "But thirty-five people died last night, all of them are desperate, I went to count them before, there are now nine mudslides in Wanjia Village, some large and some small, more than half of them broke out last night, those people were buried alive in their sleep, but the rain still doesn't stop, how can anyone dare to live in the house anymore, where the mountain is backing, no one dares to stay in the dangerous place, but Wanjia Village is living by the mountain, most of the houses are built by the mountain, even if they are squeezed into other people's homes, they can't squeeze in. Besides, it's not necessarily safe. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Zhang Jiabao was stunned by the question, "In the past few days, my sister has been teaching us a few things that can be done in an emergency, I have taught them, it is not easy to repair this house, but the location of this house is far away from other households, and it is far away from the mountains, I asked the village chief, he said that this house lived in the early years of a young man, occasionally people would come to see him, but most of the time he was alone, only to be accompanied by a vicious dog, he was withdrawn, rarely went out, never dealt with people, and then he left, no one dared to occupy this house." It's been empty for more than ten years now, and the man hasn't come back, and now the situation is urgent, so I can only use it first. ”
Chen Chen didn't interrupt his talk, but at the end he didn't comment much, and handed him the package, "It's basically the medicine practiced by Eucommia, wrapped tightly in oiled paper, you take it, whether you keep it for yourself or for others, and you tell me if you need anything urgent, I'll let someone outside send it, it's too heavy, the mudslide outside is too big to throw away." ”
Zhang Jiabao was overjoyed, "I'll go and discuss with the village chief." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Chen to say anything, and ran towards the people who looked over from time to time like a gust of wind, Chen Chen didn't bother to listen to those words that were not worth eavesdropping, looked left and right, and climbed the mountain from a low place.
Zhang Jiabao turned his back to him and didn't see it, but the village chief of Wanjia Village saw it, and hurriedly pushed him, shouting at the top of his voice, "You can't go to the mountains, it's dangerous!" ”
Zhang Jiabao hurriedly turned his head and subconsciously wanted to shout, but when he thought of Brother Chen's ability, he calmed down again, and comforted the village chief Wan who was so anxious to run out that he said: "Don't worry, Brother Chen has a lot of ability, and he will be fine, isn't someone sick?" These brought by Brother Chen should be related to the wind and cold, you take some of it to serve people, and in addition, write down everything you need, there are people waiting outside the village. ”
"Okay, then I won't say anything, Zhang Gongzi just tell everyone to do anything." Although the village chief Wan is old, but close to Huiting City, he is not the one who has no eyes, this little boy knew that he was a nobleman as soon as he came, he thought that he didn't understand anything, he only knew how to shout five and six, how could he think that he was actually quite capable, and his ideas were more positive than the other, and he didn't dare to despise him because of his young age.
This will see that someone actually came in from outside the village at the risk of danger, and he is even more sure of his judgment, this Zhang Gongzi must be a child of a great noble family.
Although their Wanjia Village suffered a big loss this time, Zuihou may still have to rely on Zhang Gongzi to get born.
Zhang Jiabao took a few steps back and looked up at the people who were busy working on the roof, and at that time he took a fancy to the size of the house, so he persuaded the village chief to lead the young men of the village to repair the house in the rain......
Zhang Jiabao thought of the banana leaves that played a big role when the rain blocked him on the way back from Wuyang!
"If you want to be in a daze, you don't know how to take shelter from the rain."
Zhang Jiabao turned around, and before he could speak, he was attracted by a handful of banana leaves sandwiched under Brother Chen's armpit!
The words couldn't help but blurt out, "Brother Chen, how do you know that I need this!" ”
"I don't have that skills." Under the eaves, where there was a missing corner to push people in, but it was still possible to start working, Chen Chen put the banana leaves on the ground, picked up the broken leaves and threw them aside, and then began to work with both hands and feet.
Zhang Jiabao looked at it for a while and knew what Brother Chen was going to do, "Brother Chen, you are so good, you can also make rain gear, you will definitely not get wet again if you use this to make it." ”
Chen Chen glanced up at him, and kept explaining to him, "Among the senior brothers, I am the one who is responsible for doing chores, I will be able to do whatever they can't, but a few of them basically can't do anything other except for the one they specialize in, I have studied for more than ten years to be able to do what they need, what is this." ”
Zhang Jiabao sighed, and once again affirmed in his heart that Brother Chen was really amazing!
However, "Brother Chen, is there more of this Banana Leaf Mountain?" Do you have to go a long way to find it? ”
"I didn't pay attention, I glanced at that piece and it was not very far away, what are you going to do with it?"
Zhang Jiabao pointed to the roof, "The others are easy to solve, but I don't know what to use for this roof, such a heavy rain, the straw is afraid that it will not work at all, and there is no extra tiles, so I thought that if it really doesn't work, I will first go and use the houses that can't live in people, but now, I think it's good to use banana leaves." ”
"You better let someone pick up the tiles, and then spread a layer of banana leaves on the tiles, under the double effect, there should be no rain."
Zhang Jiabao thought that the banana leaves had only played a strengthening role that day, so he nodded, "I'll talk to the village chief later...... Big Brother! ”
As he was talking, he saw a person who looked less than thirty years old running over, stopped directly in front of the two, smiled at Chen Chen who looked up at him friendly, didn't get much response and didn't care, and explained to Zhang Jiabao that he would come over, "Dad said that you might need someone to help, so he sent me over, little boy, don't be polite if you want me to do, just say it." ”
"Brother Wan, you came just in time, aren't there many houses that can't be inhabited now? Can you say hello to the householder, first take off the roof tiles and use them on the house, and then pick them up when this is over? ”
"What's wrong with this, you have to pass this pass before you can say it, I'll go and tell my father." The people who had just arrived and had not yet stood on their feet immediately trotted away again.
"Brother Chen, can you help me find some more banana leaves."
"I'll lead the way, you let them come out and follow me into the mountains, and I'll have to get enough banana leaves by myself."
Zhang Jiabao smiled and narrowed his eyes, but he was not refused, "When the village chief comes, I'll let him talk." ”
From beginning to end, Zhang Jiabao never overstepped his bounds, but he was very happy to inform others of his opinions and let people accept them, and the younger brother who was carefully protected by the little junior sister did not behave badly when he left her protection.
Seeing that the junior Haode is so knowledgeable and intelligent, Chen Chen also feels happy.
"Don't be too happy, there will be a mudslide in the mountains at any time, and it will definitely be dangerous to enter the mountains, and no one will necessarily want to go."
"Brother Chen, you underestimate people too much."
In fact, just as Zhang Jiabao said, it didn't even take the village chief to arrive, and he heard the squeak of the conversation between the two, "Little boy, I'll go." ”
"I'll go too, if this house leaks, we'll waste our minds."
"Count me in, my dad is still lying in the hospital bed, and he can't open his mouth to drink the rain."
Zhang Jiabao looked at Chen Chen proudly, but he shouldn't go down, "When the village chief comes, you go and talk to the village chief." (To be continued......)
