It rained heavily for a few days, and then it stopped for another day and continued to rain, and so on until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Looking at the high level of the river, everyone's hearts were raised, how could they still think about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mrs. Gu didn't go out that day, but stayed at home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Qingshu.

When she went to bed at night, Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, "Qingshu, will it really rain heavily after the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "The heavy rain after the Mid-Autumn Festival has hardly stopped. Grandma, you still don't want to go out again. Those things outside, there are old lady Qi and the prefect! ”

The food, medicinal herbs, flint and other materials hoarded by Mrs. Gu were handed over to Mrs. Qi at the end of last month.

Old Lady Qi is a person who has been a governor, and Old Lady Gu can rest assured that these materials will be handed over to him.

Originally, Mrs. Qi was worried that she would regret not donating materials, but when he saw Mrs. Gu hand over everything without saying a word, he was both admired and a little embarrassed. admired the old lady's freedom and shame her suspicions.

Old Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "I don't care about anything, I don't worry." Qingshu, you don't have to worry about me, if you don't have anything to do with me, your aunt and you will go up the mountain immediately. ”

Qingshu couldn't stop Mrs. Gu, so she could only tell and tell again. Then he picked two guards from Yi An's and asked him to follow her closely.

It didn't rain on the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but everyone still didn't breathe a sigh of relief, and the heavy rain began to fall again.

The river grew higher and higher, and within two days the houses in the low-lying areas along the river were flooded. People who were sure that the flood would not flood their homes panicked and wanted to move. But on this rainy day, it is difficult to walk, let alone move things. It's just a matter of moving pots and pans, and it doesn't matter if you get wet. But this rice flour and millet will become moldy and can't be eaten if it gets wet.

The rain kept going, the water level was getting higher and higher, and more and more houses were being flooded. Those refugees had to drag their families and families up the mountains.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"

Hearing the knock on the door, Qing Shu thought that Mrs. Gu was back, but it turned out to be not.

Uncle Yan said: "Girl, I came to borrow it, and I saw that there were too many of them, so I refused." ”

Wu Yi'an frowned and said, "Why refuse?" We're pretty spacious enough to make room for them. ”

Uncle Yan shook his head and said, "There are fifteen people in their group, and there are six men among them, and it will not be safe to live in." ”

Qing Shu saw that Wu Yi'an was still about to speak, so he spoke first: "Yi'an, you're right, we are indeed quite spacious. Everyone squeezes in, and you can still free up some rooms. ”

Seeing this, Wu Yi'an immediately said: "Uncle Yan, you see that Shu has agreed, you can let them in quickly!" ”

Qingshu said: "No, as Uncle Yan said, we don't know them, what if we harbor evil intentions?" ”

Wu Yi'an was confused: "Qingshu, are you saving or not saving?" ”

"It's okay to come in, but only for kids. Adults are not allowed to come in unless they are still breastfeeding. ”

This was strongly opposed by Shen'er: "No, these children are likely to get sick when they are in the rain." Once it is transmitted to you, it will be dangerous to have a shortage of medical care here. ”

Wu Yi'an was angry: "You are too unsympathetic, how pitiful those children are!" ”

Shen'er did not back down, and said with a cold face: "They are pitiful, but if you are infected with the cold and die, then it is you who are pitiful." ”

Uncle Yan can't help him if he dies, but he also has the same concerns as Shen'er: "Girl, Miss Lin, I think you can go to the Qi family to discuss this matter." Let's see if we can find a proper solution. ”

Qingshu and Yi An immediately went to find the fifth master of the Qi family: "Master, those children are really pitiful, I want to help them." ”

The fifth master of the Qi family thought for a while and said, "Do you think this is good, let the women and children of our clan bring some children to live with you." You don't have to fire at your place, we'll send it over when the meal is ready. ”

Qingshu thinks this is a good idea, the best of both worlds.

Fifth Master Qi asked, "Girl, I don't know how many people can live over there?" ”

"Squeeze it, thirty or forty people can live."

Fifth Master Qi said, "Yes." Once I've picked someone, I'll let them move in. ”

Seeing him so crisp, Qingshu was very grateful: "Thank you, master." ”

The fifth master shook his head and said, "Old Mrs. Gu is too righteous, and she is ashamed of herself. ”

At that time, he also told Old Lady Qi to restrain Mrs. Qi not to get involved with Old Lady Gu. Now I am very grateful for Mrs. Qi's behavior, if it weren't for the bullying people to build such a few houses, the old and weak women and children of the Qi family would have been cold and starved like those people outside.

I don't know who spread the news to the outside world, saying that there are several large granaries in Siyuan Mountain, and the granaries are full of grain. The people who heard the news didn't care about distinguishing the true from the fake, and they all rushed to Siyuan Mountain.

It's a pity that those granaries are heavily guarded, and the victims can't get close. If you dare to approach, you will be killed.

But they have already gone up the mountain, and they can't go anywhere else because of the heavy water under the mountain, so these people can only find a place to shelter from the rain.

A woman knocked vigorously at the door, and when she saw that no one should hold the child in her arms, she cried, "Sir, wife, please do so that we can go in and take shelter from the rain." ”

The woman's plea Qingshu could ignore it, but the child's heart-rending cry made Qingshu's eyes red.

Qingshu called Aunt Xiang and said, "Boil all the remaining ginger at home and send it to those children to drink." ”

After speaking, Qingshu called Uncle Yan: "I also have some oilcloth at home, although there are not many, but I can build a few sheds." Uncle Yan, you take it and build a few wooden sheds. However, it can only be used by women, children, and children. ”

She didn't want to care if the adults didn't eat or drink in the rain, who let them not make arrangements early, and they deserved to suffer. But those children are so pitiful, Qingshu really can't bear it.

Wu Yi immediately said, "I'm going out to help." ”

"No, you're not allowed to go out."

Wu Yi'an insisted on going out: "No, I want to go out, it's okay to help build a shed if I can't do anything else." ”

Uncle Yan didn't stop him, it was useless to oppose it. Qingshu simply said: "Okay, then I'll help too." ”

Wu Yi'an didn't agree: "You can't go, you have to stay at home and guard!" If you're gone, it's going to be a mess. ”

Shen'er, Jiang Huwei and others did not agree to her going out. Qingshu couldn't help but dismiss this thought.

Looking at Wu Yi'an, who was carrying a roll of oilcloth, Qingshu was silent and said, "Grandpa Zhong, Jiang Guard, please also vacate the room!" ”

Uncle Zhong and Jiang Huwei and the others had no objections.

After vacating the three rooms of the guards, Qingshu went to find the fifth aunt again, saying that he wanted the sixth aunt and them to move back to the Qi family: "Master, it's all my thoughtlessness, which caused the sixth aunt and them to move around." ”

The fifth master thought for a while and said, "Girl, the children of the Qi family are all sent to you." The vacated house was used to house the children outside. ”

He didn't dare to let his children and Qingshu live with those children outside, so he had to use this compromise method.

"Okay."
