There was not much food in the first place, and after a few days the rain did not lighten, and from the outside of the cave, the whole rain was about to swallow up the whole world, and the group of them looked so weak in the cave. And the fact that so many people eat has become a problem.

Some kind-hearted young men had already seen it and felt that they could not escape, so they simply gave all the food to the women and waited for death in the cave themselves.

Yulian watched from the side and couldn't help but be moved: "Sister, I never thought that these men could be so good and give all the food to the women in their own family?" ”

But Shen Qingqing shook his head while drinking white rice: "I really don't see it that way. ”

"Oh?" That Yulian turned her head to look at her, but she wanted to hear what Shen Qingqing thought.

The woman looked outside: "Although the rain is still falling, but one day it will stop, the rain can fall for ten days and half a month, but it can't be the next month or the next year, and when the rain stops, these young adults can rely on the grace in the cave to run rampant, do you think they are really kind or want to make a little money?" ”

Through Shen Qingqing's words, Yulian suddenly realized.

Although this statement is too ruthless and maliciously speculating on others, but looking at the expressions of those teenagers, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva when I looked at the white rice porridge, but my eyes rolled and I didn't know what I thought of and swallowed that saliva. Although it is a kind thing, the words are clearly telling these villagers that if we go out, you must remember our goodness.

Anyone can put the icing on the cake, but not everyone can think of it.

"How can this man be so sure that we will be able to save him?" That Yulian asked again.

Shen Qingqing put down the white rice porridge in his hand and laughed: "What is this young man doing?" Have you forgotten? He is the living weather in our village, which means that he has a good weather view, and he can do this, and the rain will not fall for more than two days. ”

When Shen Qingqing said this, Yulian was still skeptical, but after two days, the rain was a little lighter, and it hung in the sky like cow hair, and there was no longer that kind of cannibalistic shelf.

Some teenagers were able to run out of the cave to catch some wild animals and come back unharmed.

The villagers saw that the rain had subsided and wanted to return to the village, and when the village chief was trying to figure out a way, one night suddenly the cave opened up with a fire.

Everyone looked to the side, only to see seven or eight fast catchers standing at the entrance of the cave, and the people who caught fast seemed to be very vigilant, and the leader was Zhang Pengyun.

"What are you doing in a daze? The government came to our rescue. The village chief was the first to react and shouted.

The villagers in the back were also shouting, and some of them were already crying.

A cry of joy and a wail became a human scene.

Shen Qingqing pulled Zhang Yuan and Yulian forward and asked, "Zhang Zhutou, how did you find here?" ”

Zhang Pengyun took a raincoat, took off his hat and wiped the rain on his forehead before he spoke: "We have been looking for you a few days ago, but unfortunately the rain was too strong a few days ago so we couldn't find this cave, and we only came here today when the rain was light, are you okay?" ”

"Don't talk about it, I'll tell you little by little when we go to a place where we live in peace."

So under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers packed up their things and began to descend the mountain.

It took another day to descend the mountain, and everyone was happy, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, they wept when they saw the village.

When Shen Qingqing saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

What a splendid scene in Anning Village before, the chickens and dogs were boiling, the fence road flowers and wildflowers were contrasted, and the houses were filled with pieces of cooking smoke, which made people feel that it was a holy scene in the world.

But now? Although the rain has subsided a lot, there is still a lot of stagnant water in the village, most of the houses have collapsed, and the only thing that can enter people's eyes is the courtyard of Shen Qingqing's house.

When her yard was first built, it was watered with cement and steel, and it didn't bubble in the flood, but the surrounding area had already become an ocean, and there was no way to live there.

In some places, the villagers hurriedly ran to the door of their houses, knelt down again, and cried and grabbed the ground: "I said God, this is the family business we have accumulated for a lifetime, what are we going to do?" ”

"Oh my God, I didn't take the silver taels away when I left, that's my old man's salary for a year."

The houses were largely uninhabitable, and the villagers thought they had survived, but they did not expect that hell awaited them.

The village chief watched from the side and felt distressed: "How can so many villagers be resettled?" ”

The village chief laughed, and this laugh was bitter: "All the houses of our villagers have been flooded, what can we do?" ”

Zhang Pengyun also sighed: "Don't say it's your Anning Village, even the houses in other villages have long been submerged." ”

The crying of the villagers came into the ears again, which made people feel very distressed to hear.

Shen Qingqing is fortunate that she is young and has skills in her hands, and when the flood subsides, it is okay to find a restaurant here to make glutinous rice dumplings with them.

But it has been bitter for some women, because of this natural and man-made disaster, the husband has died, and the child is still with him, and there is no second way out except to remarry.

Uncles and aunts who are over fifty or sixty have already saved a lot of silver waiting to be taken care of, but this water has washed away all their wishes, and they can only wait for death at home.

"Is that all there is to it? The county magistrate didn't say what policies there were? ”

Zhang Pengyun was originally standing, but when he heard Shen Qingqing say this, he also looked back, squatted on a hill, closed his eyes and said slowly: "The county master went to the next town to move the rescue soldiers a few days ago, but he hasn't come back yet, and there is no news." ”

"What? The county magistrate has run away? The village chief also shouted in surprise.

Zhang Pengyun looked left and right and signaled the village chief to whisper, so as not to shake the hearts of the people: "I don't know if he ran away, anyway, he hasn't come back since he went to the town to move the rescuers, maybe he hasn't moved the rescuers and hasn't come back." ”

The village chief didn't get the answer he wanted, and Zhang Pengyun was also too busy to deal with him so much.

After Zhang Pengyun and the catchers behind him settled some of the villagers, they had time to talk to Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing's mood had calmed down a bit, and he said directly: "It's really hard for you these days, and the county master doesn't know where to go, you are the backbone of our town." ”

"Where, where. I can't help it, let's see how many people I can save. ”

There is no difference between men and women when two people squatting on the ground, and at this time, it is like a difficult brother from the same trench.

"What happened to the people in this other place?"

Zhang Pengyun pointed to the front: "Other places, like your village, almost all the villages have been flooded, and the villagers have no place to live, but ......"

Zhang Pengyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he said this, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

"But what?"

After getting along with Shen Qingqing before, Zhang Pengyun found that she was an extremely smart and capable woman, and she didn't like to be in the limelight, so it was okay to talk to her.

"But when we visited, we found that many of the villagers were feverish."

"Is the fever isolated or massive?" Shen Qingqing hurriedly asked.

Zhang Pengyun laughed: "It's large-scale, this god really refuses to let us go, there was a flood just now, and now it's a large-scale fever, I'm afraid there are not enough medicinal materials." ”

"Mass fever?" Shen Qingqing muttered something in her mouth, but she thought of something else.

There had just been a flood, and the people had no place to live, so they might find a place to sleep.

The weather is cold and dirty, and this flood may cause some kind of chain reaction of the epidemic, and this large-scale fever may be the precursor of the epidemic.

The more Shen Qingqing thought about it, the more worried she became, and looked at Zhang Pengyun: "Zhang Zhutou I think it's ......"

Before this sentence was finished, Zhang Pengyun turned his head to look at her, with a pair of fierce eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Pengyun was very tired during this time, even if the two of them were far apart, Shen Qingqing could see the tiredness in his eyes.

And when Shen Qingqing said that sentence just now, he could see that Zhang Pengyun was chatting with her with a strong spirit.

After thinking about it, Shen Qingqing couldn't conclude that this was really an epidemic, so he swallowed all the words into his stomach.

"It's okay, it's been really hard for you these days."

"Nope." When Zhang Pengyun wanted to say what it was, a catcher behind him called him over

The two of them, Zhang Yuan and Yulian, stood in the distance, and Zhang Yuan's eyes never left Zhang Pengyun's body.

Yulian whispered: "How can Sister Zhang Yuan see that your sweetheart is gone?" ”

"You, you, you've been with Qingqing for a long time, and you've learned badly." Zhang Yuan glanced at her with a full shyness, but she said to herself. "When I was in the cave, I wasn't afraid of death, I wasn't afraid of running out of food, I was afraid that something would happen to this Zhang Pengyun, and when I saw him today, I found that he was also safe and sound, and I was relieved."

"Sister Zhang Yuan, you obviously like Zhang Pengyun, why don't you say it?" That Yulian didn't understand. "Sister Qingqing told me that if you like someone, you must be brave enough to pursue it."

"What kind of character is Shen Qingqing, not to mention that he is beautiful, and he is smart and capable, you see what kind of work he has done in the family, if he is replaced by a person, he is not even half of hers, I can't compare." This Zhang Yuan is a sincere compliment.

"But we are all women, and now you have no husband, and he has no wife, so why don't you tell him your heart when you are happy?"

"Yulian, you're still young, you don't understand it at all." Zhang Yuan found a stubble to leave, but his mind was always on what Yulian and Shen Qingqing said.

Zhang Yuan has never done anything out of the ordinary in her life, and after living for so many years, the only thing that makes a show is to reconcile with Fang Lu, and she really can't bear it.

After getting along with Shen Qingqing for these days, she realized that women can have another way of living, and they can also live another world of their own.

She is happy with Zhang Pengyun, but it is also unknown whether Zhang Pengyun will mind her previous affairs.

She didn't dare, and she didn't want to gamble.

Just thinking about it, it happened that Zhang Pengyun passed by her side and saw that Zhang Yuan just nodded slightly.

When Zhang Yuan was about to say something, Zhang Pengyun went to be busy again.

Watching his figure leave, Zhang Yuan smiled.

And Shen Qingqing shouted over there: "Zhang Yuan, come over and do me a favor." ”

Shen Qingqing was taking care of a small child, and when she was too busy to do so, Zhang Yuan put her mind on other places, and Zhang Pengyun and her backs were getting farther and farther away.
