Chapter 51: Flash Floods
The rain didn't stop.
It's been the third day since I came to Xishan Villa, and the torrential rain has not stopped.
It was like a hole had been broken, and he was pouring water down like crazy, barely giving him a chance to breathe.
Fu Xiaoguan went to the field again the next day, and this time he took many people to build a shed for those losers, which freed Wang Er and the others from the field.
But Wang Er and the others still did not relax, inspecting day and night whether the ridges of these fields would be washed away by the torrential rain and whether the sheds would collapse.
On this day, Fu Xiaoguan was writing on the second floor about the plan to set up a caravan in Xishan, because he was going to Yao County to transport slag, which required a lot of carriages and ox carts.
At this moment, Chunxiu ran up in a panic.
"Young master, it's not good, Wangjia Village and Wangjia Village have been washed away by the flood!"
"What?"
Fu Xiaoguan suddenly stood up and ran downstairs.
Chunxiu said that Wangjia Village, which is located next to the Baishui River at the foot of the Hawk Mountain, has 28 households with a total of 170 people...... I hope people are okay.
Fu Xiaoguan directly called all the guards and workers in the other courtyard, and hundreds of people ran towards Wangjia Village.
The water level of the Baishui River soared, and it was almost overflowing the stone bridge, and just after crossing the stone bridge, I heard the faint cry of the torrential rain.
It's a flash flood!
Fu Xiaoguan led everyone across the Baishui River, and what he saw was a tragic image of the world.
"Save people, go quickly, let me save people!"
Fu Xiaoguan roared in the rainstorm, Su Mo was the first to rush over, and Fu Xiaoguan followed.
The mountain is not high, the vegetation on the mountain is sparse, the rocky soil is relaxed, under the heavy rain for several days, the top of the mountain is flooded into a lake, and then it washes down the mountain, all the way down, Wangjia Village is almost swept away.
Wang Qiang's daughter-in-law's house in the east of the village was not affected by this torrent, and the woman whose name Fu Xiaoguan didn't know was shouting Wang Qiang's name hoarsely in the torrential rain at the moment.
Fu Xiaoguan's heart was like a knife, and hundreds of people launched a search and rescue in this village that was annihilated by mud and sand.
Wang Er inspected the fields and heard the flash flood and ran back, looking at the yellow mud and rocks, the burly man did not shed tears, he worked hard with his hands in his house, and then he dug out a woman, this is his mother-in-law, the woman who is very capable and good at running the house.
"Save ...... Save...... Save my son! ā
The woman didn't die, Fu Xiaoguan rushed over and shouted: "Carry her out, clean up the mud and sand in her mouth, and hurry up for Lao Tzu!" ā
Hundreds of people carried boulders with their hands in this way, some were rescued and sent out, and Wang Qiang was also dug out and was already dying.
"Wang Qiang, I'm the young master, I ordered you to live, do you hear?!"
The torrential rain washed away the mud and sand from his face, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, and laughed, "IāI hear you...... I'm going to ...... Guarding the ...... Those who lost ...... What about the loser. ā
"Okay, you are Wang Qiang's daughter-in-law? You go with him, take care of him, and don't make a mistake! ā
Because of the rapid arrival of people from Xishan Courtyard, many people in Wangjia Village were rescued at the first time, and the search continued until the evening, and when the final count was made, 15 of the 170 people were dead and 8 were missing.
Everyone was transferred to the Xishan Courtyard, and under Fu Xiaoguan's order, all the empty rooms in the outer courtyard and inner courtyard were cleaned up to settle these victims.
As soon as the matter was handed over to Zhang Ce, Fu Xiaoguan said to Zhang Ce very seriously: Let me go and invite all the doctors in Xiacun Town, this will be their home in the future, until Wangjia Village is rebuilt, we must ensure their food and drink, send people to Linjiang to buy clothes if they are short, do a good job in the aftermath, appease the emotions of those who have lost their families, and if there are orphans, register them and stay in Xishan for adoption.
Of course, Zhang Ce didn't dare to object, he should have done it.
It's just that he doesn't understand why the young owner treats those victims like this, in the past years, this kind of thing happened too many times, and the master has never dealt with it like the young master.
The lord will send some food to those victims after the disaster, which is the greatest gift, and in the eyes of those victims, this is also the greatest gift of the owner.
Where has there been hundreds of people like the young master who sent hundreds of people to save people, and arranged so many victims into the Xishan Courtyard - the house collapsed, they used to build a shed to live in, and when the disaster passed, they would work harder, and then save some money and rebuild their homes, it has always been like this, and it seems to have changed at this moment.
Wang Er's family was arranged on the first floor of the west wing of the inner courtyard, and Fu Xiaoguan knew the name of Wang Qiang's daughter-in-law, Zhang Xiaomei.
Zhang Xiaomei was also left here by Fu Xiaoguan, so that she could take care of Wang Qiang with peace of mind, and the Li family, that is, Wang Qiang's mother, Zhang Xiaomei's future mother-in-law.
This is a woman with a strong body, but her mind is very detailed.
Chunxiu took her to the kitchen, saying that she needed to cook something and told the chef to do it, if she was not used to it, she could cook it yourself, and specially said that this was the young master's explanation, and Wang Qiang must not be allowed to fall into any disease.
Zhang Xiaomei dared to use the young master's kitchen, and when she came out, she whispered to Xiu'er: "Miss, why don't you ...... I'll let it be delivered at home. ā
Chunxiu laughed, "I'm not a young lady, I'm the young master's maid, just call me Sister Xiu'er." In addition, I don't dare to disobey the young master's intentions, our young master is different from others, you will know later, anyway, you are casual, don't be so restrained, if someone dares to bully you, you tell me, I plucked his skin! ā
"This ......"
"Okay, okay, I'm going to stew the old hen for the young master, look at what you want to eat, the kitchen is so big, let's do it together."
Fu Xiaoguan and Wang Er sat in the living room chatting.
"I will live here in peace, and when the rain stops for a few days, I will go and clean up the mud, and ...... Rebuilding the house has to wait a little longer. ā
Wang Er thought about it and nodded, how easy it is to rebuild the house, it was all destroyed at once, the food and household utensils were gone, if you want to build the house again, you have to wait at least a year, and this is still a little savings in your own hands.
When the rain stops, clean up the silt, and build a shed to live in, damn my God!
"That's what I think, your old earthen wall house can't be carried either, and the location in the field is not good, it's too close to the mountain. When the cement in the West Mountain comes out, the bricks and tiles of the Tang bricklayer should also be fired. When the time comes, we will build a house for you, a blue brick house, bright and beautiful, and comfortable to live in. ā
Wang Er's mouth suddenly opened wide, "Ah, young master, we don't have that much money." ā
"You are all from my Fu family, don't need money, young master, I'll build it for you for free!"
"In the future, all the people who work for my Fu Mansion will live in a blue brick house."
