Boom, boom, thunder, thunder, and then lightning flashed in the sky. The wind was blowing, and the trees were clattering. In an instant, the downpour fell.

Yi An stood in front of the window and said irritably, "Why is it raining again?" ”

Qingshu grabbed Yi An's hand and said, "If you can't sleep, then let's practice calligraphy!" ”

Yi An nodded.

The next morning, when the two were eating, Uncle Yan came over and said, "Girl, there are quite a few people coming up the mountain. ”

"Do what?"

Uncle Yan said: "They are dressed in robes, and they don't know what to do. Escort Jiang had already inquired and would reply soon. ”

It didn't take long for Jiang Fangfei to come back: "Girl, this group of people who came is from the Qi clan. They came to see the house and said they would bring food when the rain stopped. ”

The people from Qi Mansion were only the first batch, and several more groups of people followed. These people don't have houses in the mountains, so they came to enclose the land and wait for the rain to stop before cutting down trees and building houses.

Jiang Huwei said: "Girl, the prefect has issued an official letter asking the officials of the prefectures, towns and villages to prepare for flood control, and then urge the people to move to higher places as soon as possible. ”

Qingshu covered his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the government finally made a move, it's good.

She said a million words, not as good as a prefect.

The rain continued to rain for another three days before the sun came out.

Wu Yi'an looked at the sun in the sky and said, "Qingshu, let it go!" ”

With a sigh, Qingshu said: "I hope everyone will move as soon as the rain stops." ”

When the flood comes, no one can run without preparation.

Early the next morning, Wu Yi'an prayed that the sun would come out soon. I don't know if his prayers worked, and the sun really slowly rose in the east.

Qingshu said with some concern: "I hope they don't see the sun out of the sun, and they won't move again." ”

Jiang Fangfei said with a smile: "Girl, many people would rather believe in the lives of their families, and many people in the city have come up to the mountain today. ”

Although his wife and children are in the capital, there is no need to worry, but his parents, brothers and clansmen are all in Pingzhou. A few days ago, he tried his best to persuade his parents and brother.

The relocation work was actually not as smooth as Jiang Fangfei said. Living in low-lying homes, the government agreed to relocate as soon as they were notified. And those who live in high places are reluctant to move, and their thoughts are the same as the old woman before, thinking that the high flood of the area where they live will not be flooded.

There are more than one or two people who have such thoughts, and they don't care about these people in the government. There are a lot of things to do, and the yamen has limited manpower, so how can they take care of so much.

After the first heavy rain, Gu Heping began to move his family's previous things to Donggang Mountain. Not only did he himself, but he also persuaded Gu Herong. You don't need to build another house, you just live with them.

He had a lot of food in his house, and it would be very dangerous for them to come across a family with ill intentions. If you live together as a family, you won't be afraid.

Gu Herong looked at the clear sky and asked Gu Heping: "Fourth brother, will there really be a flood?" ”

The aunt said that the uncle told him in a dream that it would rain for more than a month. You see, it's been raining lately. After speaking, Gu Heping also looked outside and said, "Even if it is sunny, I guess it will not be sunny for two days." ”

Hearing this, Gu Herong was uneasy: "My father and eldest brother are still in the countryside!" ”

"Then you move your things and go and see them, and if they don't move, you must persuade them. If everything else is gone, forget it, this food must be preserved. ”

Speaking of food, Gu Herong smiled bitterly: "I don't know why, the eldest brother is becoming more and more stubborn now." After the summer harvest, I told him not to sell grain, but he didn't listen. As soon as the price of grain increased, it was going to be sold, and at that time I was still thinking about selling all the grain. Fortunately, my father stopped me, and in the end only half of it was sold. ”

Gu Heping said: "Now the grain has more than doubled compared to last month, and I can't buy it!" ”

"Looking at the current situation, food will go up."

Unloading all the grain and moving it into the house, Gu Herong said: "I'll talk about it later, I'll go and bring the rest of the grain." ”

As soon as he got down the cart when he returned home, Gu Herong saw He's second brother coming out of his house carrying a bag of grain.

Second Brother He looked at Gu Herong's gloomy face and said unhappily: "Brother-in-law, I just took a bag of grain, as for letting you do this?" ”

Hearing the voice, He also walked out of it: "The ...... of the house"

Before she finished speaking, Gu Herong slapped her in the face.

He has been married to Gu Herong for more than ten years, and he has never moved a finger against her on weekdays. This will be beaten, and she is a little stunned for a while.

Second Brother He didn't look good, so he hurriedly ran away with the food.

He came back to his senses and rushed up to scratch Gu Herong, but he swept him hard and fell to the ground. He cried: "Gu Herong, you who killed a thousand knives, you dare to beat me, I, I won't live anymore." ”

Gu Herong said with a gloomy face: "There is only that bit of food at home, you send a bag today and a bag tomorrow, and let the children drink the northwest wind in the future?" ”

After the second brother He failed in business, he often came to the door to fight the autumn breeze. On weekdays, it's okay to carry him on his back to make up for it, but now he even sends food out. If there is a flood, this food will be equal to life.

He Shi was also a little weak-hearted: "But Yiyi they haven't eaten for several days, I can't watch the children go hungry?" ”

"You can't bear to let his children go hungry, what will Huihui do if they don't have anything to eat in the future?"

Now that I have nothing to do, I will come to borrow food, and when the real flood comes, won't the whole family have to move here to eat and drink for nothing.

He said: "My family has so much food, so there is no food to eat. ”

Gu Herong ignored her, entered the house and said to his daughter Huihui, "Didn't you let you look at your mother?" This grain is going to be sent, and if there is a flood, you will be hungry in the future. ”

Huihui was also very aggrieved, and said with red eyes: "I stopped it, I couldn't stop it." The second uncle also said that the eldest grandmother had saved as much grain as the mountain, and if our family had no food to eat, we could go to the eldest aunt at that time. ”

Gu Herong said to the He clan who walked in: "I'll tell you to die this heart as soon as possible." Even if my aunt hoarded a lot of food, it had nothing to do with us. ”

"Can she watch us starve to death?"

It turned out that he had this in mind, Gu Herong said coldly: "Even if I starve to death, I won't take the children to beg." Forget it this time, and next time you can go back to He's house! You can care if the children live or die, but I can't help but protect them. ”

When he was storing grain, he also persuaded his relatives and friends, and the two brothers of the He family were also among them. Brother He listened to the persuasion and bought a lot of grain, but Second Brother He thought the price of food was too expensive and did not want to buy it. Even if he starved to death, he deserved it.
