Chapter 436: Flood
- The spring sun is not strong, but at noon, it is still dazzling. So all the brothers in the stone village lay on the sunny side of the street corner, and dozed lazily in the shadow of the earthen wall.
But Zhong Wuyan was lying on the earthen wall, facing the bright sun, basking in the sun while leisurely humming a little song. It's still the simple and cheerful rhythm. Living in Chenhe Town, they will always be able to live so leisurely. However, the second fat fell asleep, but there was a low roar in his stomach, and then the whole person suddenly woke up, holding his stomach with a solemn face.
Obviously, he woke up hungry. Sleeping next to the second fat, Da Hei and the third dog were also woken up after hearing the sound of the belly growling, and then saw the ear fat squinting his little eyes with a sad face, and they immediately understood. "Hungry." The second fat looked at Da Hei and Sangouzi with wrinkled eyes, and spit out the word "hungry" concisely and clearly. Of course, he didn't stutter when he only said one word, but he looked like he had lost the strength to say one more word.
"We don't have anything to eat here." Da Hei glanced at him and said helplessly. "I, I, I" Er Fat rolled his eyes in disappointment and stammered, "I...... Think, think, want to eat...... Meat...... Bun. ”
"But we don't have any money, so we can't eat meat buns." Da Hei said to Er Fat with a straight face, saying that Er Fat looked aggrieved, and he was so pitiful that he was about to cry, "Early, early, early...... Earlier, before, before...... Snatch back that ...... the other day Five, five car money...... When, when, when, I hid it secretly...... Hide a few pieces of it, a few gold coins......" Er Fat stammered bitterly, thinking that if he had so much money at that time, he would definitely not be found if he secretly took a little, in that case, he would definitely have money to eat meat buns now.
As soon as the third dog heard it, he knew what Er Fat wanted to say, and immediately quickly covered Er Fat's mouth and asked him to stop talking. "Don't talk about it, stammering and talking so much - the boss is on the wall, she'll be angry if she hears it." "Don't think about money every day, the boss doesn't like money, so we can't withdraw money!" The third dog deliberately suppressed his voice and said in the ear of the second fat, and only after telling him not to speak again did he withdraw his hand. The second fat closed his mouth pitifully, held his stomach in his hands, and continued to be hungry. He also knows that the boss hates money, and they shouldn't always worry about it. But he really couldn't figure it out in his heart, why did the boss just get along with money? So that more than 100 of them have to go hungry all the time. Although Da Hei and Sangouzi didn't say it, they actually had the same doubts in their hearts, but they didn't understand whether the boss's stubbornness was wrong, or their thoughts about money were wrong......
Although the boss never touches money, there is always a way to maintain everyone's life, and she will take everyone to exchange their labor for living goods, but they don't need money. Although he occasionally goes hungry, the boss will definitely make everyone eat every day. So sometimes when I think about it, life doesn't have to be money...... And listening to the little song humming softly by the boss, the simple and happy rhythm really makes people feel comfortable and satisfied.
But gradually, the sound of the little song stopped. Zhong Wuyan stretched her waist, got up from the earthen wall, and then loudly beckoned to the sleeping "Okay!" Wake up, brethren! Let's go to dinner! "Rice! Rice! Rice! As soon as he heard that he was going to eat, the first fat man jumped up vigorously, shouting the word "rice" vigorously, his eyes were shining, and his mouth was full of saliva, "Old, boss...... Eat, eat, eat...... What to eat? ”
At this time, the rest of the more than 100 people also quickly got up, obviously they were all hungry, but they were not as exaggerated as Er Fat. "Well, today I'm going to take you to the mountains to hunt wild game - let's catch a wild boar and roast it to eat!" Zhong Wuyan stood on top of the two-meter-high earthen wall, glanced around the big guy, and said loudly.
"Roast, roast, roast, roast - roast suckling pig!" The second fat eye suddenly flashed brightly, and a long saliva instantly dripped from his whole mouth, "Eat, eat, eat...... Roasted, roasted...... Roast suckling pig! Hearing Zhong Wuyan's words, the other more than 100 people also cheered, although they hadn't even gone out of the town, they seemed to have smelled the strong aroma of barbecue, and everyone's spirits were lifted at once.
So no more nonsense, Zhong Wuyan lifted the big hammer he carried with him with one hand, raised his voice, and led everyone towards the mountains outside Chenhe Town, at this speed, at most two hours, they could have a big meal of roast pork in the mountains. The brothers in Shizhai were all very excited and ran on the streets with joy, but Zhong Wuyan, who was walking in the front, had a little anxiety in his eyes.
I don't know why, she always feels that there is a feeling of unhappiness today, and she feels that her heart is inexplicably blocked. That's why she couldn't sit still in the town, and wanted to take everyone to the mountains to hunt wild boars for a big meal, be happy, and rush to the depression in her heart. But even after taking everyone on the road, she still felt a sense of anxiety in her heart, thinking that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it. So she had no choice but to resist her mood and change her gaze to look into the distance, trying to settle down.
They walked all the way to the entrance of Chenhe Town, and when they were about to leave the town, they saw a young townsman running from outside the town in a panic, running towards the town with a panicked expression, shouting as he ran.
"Run for your life! Everyone, run for your life! "Hey, Wang Tiezhu, are you howling a hammer in a panic?" Zhong Wuyan grabbed the man's collar and dragged him to himself like a kitten and a puppy, and asked with a puzzled look, "Escape?" What kind of life are you running for? ”
"Big hammer, big hammer, you can run too, Chen Hezhen is going to be finished!" Wang Tiezhu saw Zhong Wuyan in front of him, panting and saying with a frightened gaze, "Xu Fu is here!" It must be because we didn't pay the birthday gift, and he came to take revenge on us! "Xu Fu?" Zhong Wuyan was surprised, his brows slammed into a row, "He really came to harass Chen Hezhen in a way?" Damn it! ”
"Say, where is he, see if Lao Tzu doesn't hammer him to death." Zhong Wuyan asked angrily, no wonder she always felt that something was going to happen today, it turned out that Xu Fu really came to Chenhe Town, this kind of thing that others found to be wrong, she Zhong Wuyan would never bear it. "He, he's on the mountain!" Wang Tiezhu was so frightened that tears were about to fall, and he just wanted to hurry up and call everyone to flee for their lives, but Zhong Wuyan grabbed him, and he had to say in a panic, "He was on the high mountain, and he sent someone to blow up the embankment, and all the water of the Xuan River fell down, and it was about to flood the town!" ”
"The flood is coming! Chen Hezhen is about to be swallowed by the water! As soon as Wang Tiezhu's words came out, everyone present was shocked, they knew too well that they had lived in Chenhe Town since they were children, they knew how big the water of the Xuan River was, how high the drop between the river and the town was, and how terrible the flood would be once the embankment was destroyed.
So a deep fear emerged from the bottom of their hearts, drowning all their eyes like water, and Zhong Wuyan's hand subconsciously let go. Wang Tiezhu immediately bypassed her and hurriedly ran to the town.
The heavy coldness wrapped tightly around her body, with an invisible surging force, pressing on her chest, abdomen and limbs, so that she could only be forced to churn with it. The rushing water penetrated the thin clothing, soaking every pore of her body, and the feeling of suffocation rushed over her, forcing her to swing her hands and feet in the turbulence. Then she slammed her limbs, bringing up a huge upward force, lifting her sunken body upward. When Zhong Wuyan struggled to emerge from the turbulence, her first reaction was to open her mouth and take a big breath. Then he shook off the river water on his face and opened his eyes with great difficulty.
She paddled her arms vigorously to keep herself floating in the river, and she used her water-soaked pupil ring to look around for signs of others. Just a few minutes ago, the water of the Xuan River rolled down from behind the mountain, and the huge wave suddenly fell, slapping Zhong Wuyan and the other Shizhai brothers into the raging water. In the short period that followed, a large amount of water continued to tumble down from the broken dam in the high mountains, and frantically poured into the low-lying town of Chenhe. In the face of the overwhelming water, none of the civilians in the town will be able to escape. After all, even Zhong Wuyan is powerless in the face of falling waves.
At this moment, Zhong Wuyan looked around vigorously, but her moist pupils became more and more stagnant. As far as the eye could see, all he could see was the rushing waves and the rushing water, and occasionally he could catch a glimpse of a few huge amounts of water protruding above the water that had submerged most of Chenhe Town in a short period of time, and countless townspeople were submerged in the water, struggling with the turbulent current, fluttering their heads to breathe. The water of the Xuan River swallowed everything like a terrifying mouth, Zhong Wuyan's eyes were hollow in the middle of the water, and he instinctively paddled his limbs, but he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Her Chenhe Town, her favorite Chenhe Town, was drowned.
"Boss! Top dog! Are you okay! The three dogs were thin and agile, and they quickly emerged from the water, and saw Zhong Wuyan losing his mind in the turbulence from a distance, so he shouted anxiously. Now is not the time to be in a daze! The river is still falling, and the momentum of this flood is even rising! Being shouted loudly by the three dogs, Zhong Wuyan finally came back to her senses, so she subconsciously turned her gaze, looked into the distance, and immediately saw that the huge water was still rushing from behind the mountain. Sure enough, just like the three dogs said, the momentum of this flood will continue to rise. At this moment, the water surface beside Zhong Wuyan suddenly turned violently, and an obese figure struggled desperately with the turbulence while floating. But his body was too heavy, and he couldn't surface at all, and he was about to be crushed by the churning river. After Zhong Wuyan glanced at it, he immediately reached out and grabbed him, and with all the strength of his arm, he slammed his bulky body out of the river, allowing him to breathe the air of life.
"Old, old, old...... Top dog. While choking on water, the man shouted at Zhong Wuyan with gratitude, and his words stammered, and sure enough, he was the second fat. What about the big black? Did you swim out? Zhong Wuyan held the fat and bulky body with one hand, paddled vigorously with the other, and then shouted anxiously with his head up. Boss, I'm here. Da Hei floated a pitchy figure in the water on the other side, shouting towards Zhong Wuyan. What about the others, did the other brothers swim out? Zhong Wuyan still looked around with a solemn face, and shouted loudly. Most of them are popping up. The three dogs glanced around quickly, and immediately shouted, "Everyone is used to Xiaoye, and they know how to water." It's not so easy to drown, don't worry, boss. ”
Hearing Sangouzi's words, the solemn look in Zhong Wuyan's eyes eased a little, and she was actually very worried about everyone's safety. "But this won't work......" Zhong Wuyan looked at the churning water, and his eyes became solemn again. The water of the Xuan River is constantly falling, and for a period of time, the momentum of the flood will not only not decrease, but will continue to rise. But their physical strength is limited after all, and they have been swimming so hard in the turbulent current that they will soon run out of physical strength and be drowned by the river.
"Everybody listen." Zhong Wuyan then turned his gaze and landed on the roof of a floating house more than ten meters away to the east, and shouted loudly, "Find the nearest building on the side of each other, and rely on it to avoid danger" "This flood will get bigger, we must save our physical strength as much as possible." As soon as the shouting fell, Zhong Wuyan took the lead in pulling Er Fat to swim towards the roof more than ten meters away. Just submerged by the river, her physical strength is still very full, plus her arm strength is outstanding, so she dragged her body of two fat and three hundred pounds, she can also cross the turbulent water, swim to the edge of the roof, and rely on the building body that only surfaces half a meter, slowly breathing. The rest of the brothers in the stone village were already full of fear when they fell into the water, and they swam desperately at a loss, and after hearing Zhong Wuyan's order, they immediately listened to his words and swam to the building that surfaced on the side. Reaching out and grasping those sturdy bodies of stone, it saves the physical strength that is quickly consumed in the water.
With a sturdy object to lean on, the situation is indeed much better. Zhong Wuyan relaxed a little, and her breath was no longer panting. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the brothers in the stone village were all settled on the edge of the buildings as she said, so she looked farther around. And when she looked at it, she saw an even more amazing scene. The whole town was submerged in the water, men, women and children were struggling in the rushing river, the young people were fine, but the old people and children, where could they fight through this terrible turbulence, either they did not come out of the water, or they came out for a while and then immediately sank down. Zhong Wuyan's eyes were sharp, of course it was impossible to sit idly by, so she put the second fat body to the side, let him grab the solid roof by himself, and then rushed into the water by herself, swimming quickly towards the old people and children who were sinking into the water.
"Boss, be careful." Da Hei held on to the roof next to him, and when he saw Zhong Wuyan's figure swimming quickly, he shouted worriedly. "Oh, so many people who fell into the water, how can she save the boss." Sangouzi said anxiously, then frowned, gritted his teeth, and plunged into the water, following Zhong Wuyan to save people. "People who are good at water are all coming up, and they can save one by one!" The three dogs swam and suddenly poked their heads out of the water, looked back at the brothers in the stone village who were basically unharmed, and shouted loudly.
Most of the brothers in Shizhai are young men with strong bodies, and they all have the youthful nature of men. Seeing that the eldest woman and the three dogs had swam to save people, I was already itching, but after hearing this, I swam into the water one by one, and rushed to save people with burning blood. So Zhong Wuyan took dozens of hot-blooded brothers from the stone village to swim into the surging river to rescue the drowning people, dragging their sour and weak bodies to the side of the house, so that they could rely on the body to stabilize their figures and breathe as much as possible.
With Zhong Wuyan's efforts, many old people and children who sank into the water were rescued, although some of them were out of breath when they came out of the water, but many more were still alive.
