The young man ran to Uncle Xing panting, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat on his forehead.

Uncle Xing hurriedly asked: "Shi Lei, don't panic, why did the bridge collapse?" ”

"The bridge at the entrance of the village...... The whole thing collapsed! The lad stuttered a little.

Liu Liwei on the side muttered: "Oops! ”

Only then did I remember that Niutou Village was located on the side of the Yellow River pontoon bridge, and there happened to be a large gate, so there was a small river between the dam and the village to divert water from the Yellow River, so that the village on this side of the dam could have water.

I vaguely remember entering the village, passing by a bridge similar in style to the one outside Hewang Village.

We have observed Niutou Village on the dam before, this village is full of crops on three sides, only there is a road out of the village in the west, leading directly to the dam, but it has rained heavily for five or six hours just now, and the river must be full, if the bridge collapses, the whole village will become an island, and I am afraid that no one will be able to get out for a while.

Uncle Xing scolded his mother, turned to us and said, "I'm really embarrassed, something happened in the village, I have to go and see first!" ”

It is estimated that Liu Liwei is also anxious: "Brother, let's go with you!" ”

The village is a gravel road, the terrain is also high, but it is not difficult to walk, but as soon as you get out of the village, the whole muddy road is simply asymmetrical with the current era, a few people pull up their trousers, and follow the young man who reported the news to walk in the direction of the dam.

In the distance, I heard the sound of "hula-hula", and then I saw seven or eight people standing by the river, the bridge was already no, the water in the river was turbulent, and a wave was rolled up from time to time.

"Village Chief Xing! What the hell is going on? ”

The crowd around us saw us approaching, and one of them said to Uncle Xing with a sad face.

"It's a natural disaster, and no one can do anything about it! I called the township first, the water flow is so big, it is estimated that the township will not be able to repair it for a while! Let's go back first! ”

Liu Liwei also frowned, and he whispered to me: "Xiao Liu! Looks like we'll have to stay tonight and figure it out tomorrow! ”

If you can't go, you can only stay!

On the way back to the village, Wu Jinghan muttered, "This kind of rain is very rare this year!" During the rainy season, there was not a drop of rain for more than two months, and now it is autumn, but it is ......"

"Yes! There are strange things every year, only this year! Wang Shengjia on the side replied.

I heard a few people behind me whispering too.

"It rains so hard in autumn, and you live this age...... Have you seen it? ”

"Nope! I haven't encountered this kind of strange weather in at least thirty years. ”

"You ...... Do you think you're really provoking Huang Heniang, is she angry? ”

"Possibly! This is a bad thing, I can't get out of the village, what should I do if I get sick in my life? ”

"What are you afraid of! The doctor in the hospital is not necessarily as good as Boss Qiao, what are you afraid of with him? ”

"That's right! Let's discuss with the village chief, organize more people to worship the Yellow River Niangniang, and let Boss Qiao think about it, let's not be implicated......

Listening to the dialogue between these people, I couldn't help but sigh: It's terrible to be uneducated! What is the Yellow River Niangniang, the Yellow River Grandfather's, purely out of nothing.

Back in the village, several people were muddy, and before we could speak, Uncle Xing took the initiative to ask us: "If you can't leave tonight, let's stay at my house!" The bed is definitely enough, and it's not bad for a few of you! ”

Liu Liwei hurriedly thanked.

"Kind words! In fact, as soon as you entered the door, I could see that a few people were not ordinary people. ”

Liu Liwei smiled embarrassedly: "Brother has good eyesight, let's be honest!" I am the deputy director of the Hekou District Police Station, my name is Liu Liwei, and the Bo Daya mentioned before is an important witness in a big case - this matter must be kept secret for the time being! ”

Hearing Liu Liwei say this, Uncle Xing didn't show the slightest panic or surprise, but just nodded and said "medium".

I suddenly felt that this seemingly honest old man was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Since I can't go, I don't have to rush to check the household registration book in the village, a few people are holding shovels, some are holding iron pickaxes, and follow Uncle Xing to drain the water in the village, which suddenly makes me feel like I have traveled back to my childhood.

I remember when I was seven or eight years old, because of the salinity of the fields and the good price of cotton in those years, we planted cotton in a large area in dozens of villages. Cotton is a drought-loving crop, and once the rain is heavy, the yield will be reduced or even extinct, so every rainy season, the adults and children in the village will take shovels and pickaxes to the cotton field to drain water.

When the rain is heavy, they even use basins or iron buckets to splash water, and if there is a lot of land, they directly use a pumping machine...... Although more than ten years have passed, that scene seems to be imprinted in my mind.

Half of the village was busy until evening.

There are almost no 300 households in Niutou Village that have installed solar energy, but we are very lucky, this village chief is not in vain, Uncle Xing's house has installed the latest solar energy, and there is a bathroom with bath bombs, Liu Liwei and I are not in a hurry to take a bath, and the two beauties returned to Uncle Xing's house, and they shouted that the smell of mud on their bodies was too strong and they wanted to vomit.

The two of them went to take a bath, Uncle Xing fried two dishes, and took out a bottle of Jingzhi Baigan, and we drank it.

"Brother, what is the situation of the three families you said who have mother-in-law?"

After taking a bite of the dish, Liu Liwei opened his mouth and asked Uncle Xing.

"Coincidentally, the mothers-in-law of these three households are not from several nearby villages, two live in the north of the village, and one ...... in the west of the village," Uncle Xing briefly introduced the situation of the three families.

It stands to reason that one of these three families is Bo Daya's son-in-law's family, so naturally Bo Daya lives in his house, and it is a big deal to visit them next to each other tomorrow.

Counting that I have known this village chief for only a day, the servants really have nothing to talk about, and after a few minutes, it will be a little cold, I think of Boss Qiao mentioned by a few neighbors in the afternoon, and it sounds like a very awesome character, so I have nothing to say to mention him.

"Boss Qiao is a barefoot doctor in our village, and he can also see the Yin and Yang House, and he can shout souls to children, and he can be regarded as a capable person in these villages." Uncle Xing replied with a wry smile, it seemed that as the head of a village, he was a little embarrassed to say these feudal superstitions.

Liu Liwei continued: "That's really possible!" Does that really work? ”

"It's pretty smart! Some children have a high fever that does not go away, and it is useless to take injections and medicines, so let Boss Qiao touch it a few times, and sleep at night to immediately reduce the fever, I think although I can't believe it all, I have to believe it! ”

Liu Liwei and I nodded in accord.

"By the way, what kind of temple is outside the village?"

"This sentence or two is really not clear, it has been many years! It is said that when our village was built, this temple was there, and when I was a child, I still remember that there were a few strange stone statues in the temple, but they were all destroyed in the years when they were broken. ”

I thought to myself, if Wu Jinghan heard this, she would have to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Uncle Xing was talking energetically, when suddenly it was dark in front of him, the power went out, and almost at the same time, I heard two girl screams.
