Chapter 218: Flash Flood
Zhao Furui's place of residence is only a house away from Zhao Fuxiang's house.
By the time Zhao Fuxiang arrived in a poncho, many people had already gathered in Zhao Furui's house.
All of them were in the hall, and they were sitting and standing, bowing their heads and whispering something.
Zhao Furui sat in the middle position, with a bad expression on his face, and he didn't say anything with his head half-hung down.
Zhao Shanzhou was embarrassed when he saw this, because the people in this room were all his elders, and he didn't dare to interject at will.
turned around, and suddenly saw Zhao Fuxiang coming in outside the door, Zhao Shanzhou's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly welcomed people in.
"Second Uncle Zhao, you're here," Zhao Shanzhou stretched out his hand and arranged the person in front of Zhao Furui, and at the same time, his words also woke up Zhao Furui, who was in deep thought.
Zhao Furui raised his head and saw that the vacant seat next to him was occupied by Zhao Fuxiang, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Second Brother Zhao, you are here,"
"Well, it's been raining, don't worry, come and take a look at the situation," Zhao Fuxiang bowed his head, and as he spoke, he took off the poncho on his body and hung it aside.
"You came just in time, the guy from the post station just left," Zhao Furui said here, his face obviously darkened again.
Zhao Fuxiang chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Then the post guy, what are you doing here?" "I guess it's not for them to leave.
"Hmph, what else can I say!" The grumpy clan elder on the side couldn't help but interject, he glanced at Zhao Fuxiang, followed by a spit, and scolded, "Shameless!" ”
When the guy came, he did it aside, and his words were true, "Let's hurry up and renew the money for renting, and because of the rain, the money for renting will rise, if we continue to rent the house, we will have to double the original price!" ”
After hearing this, Zhao Fuxiang was taken aback, and he didn't even accept the surprised expression on his face, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhao Furui, "This, this is true?" ”
They have two days left before the expiration date, why are they going to increase the price now?
"It's true," Zhao Furui nodded, and then rubbed his somewhat swollen head, "That guy came to the door today, also because it was raining outside, and the house was very rentable,"
"If we don't hand over the money in advance, we will leave as soon as the five-day period arrives,"
"If you don't leave, then pay the new rent," Zhao Furui said with full exhaustion, "But this rain, I'm afraid it won't end for a while and a half, we just want to go, but we can't go." ”
Especially the things in their convoy, all they pulled were expensive items such as food and food, and it was impossible to travel in the rain.
After listening to Zhao Furui's words, Zhao Fuxiang also understood why the other party was so embarrassed.
This rain has simply brought them a dead end.
Go, the convoy can't stand it, and if they don't go, they will continue to break the bank.
Looking at the gloomy sky outside, if they stayed, it would definitely be more than a day or two, and the money spent at that time would probably not be able to bear it for those families in the team who were not wealthy.
"No room for negotiation?" Zhao Fuxiang tried to find other ways to solve the problem.
Zhao Furui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No," he had already discussed everything he could think of, but that guy couldn't do it at all.
Right now, there are really only two paths left in front of them, go or not.
…………
In the end, everyone still chose not to leave.
There was no way, the rain outside was too heavy, they really had to leave, and it wouldn't take half a day, and most of the food on the convoy could not be eaten.
You know, they haven't arrived in Qingzhou yet, and there is a Changzhou waiting for them behind.
At this time, if the food is gone, they will not be able to walk the road behind them.
In the end, Zhao Furui had to grit his teeth and take out a sum of money from the clan, Zou Youqian also took out some silver money from the village, and the two paid the extra expenses this time, and the rest was shared by each family.
Such bad news, Zhao Furui was notified one by one on the fourth day.
The price of the house has risen in the end, and the movement is not small.
Everyone thought that they would leave as soon as the five-day period arrived, but they didn't expect to be intercepted because of this rain.
At the same time, they have to come up with an extra amount of money for themselves, and many families are reluctant to do so.
In the end, the ten houses that were originally rented became seven.
Most people gritted their teeth and chose to squeeze together, in order to save daily expenses.
As a result, Zhao Fusheng's family came to the courtyard of Zhao Fuxiang, Yuan's father, and Zhao Fujin's three families, and Zhao Furui and Zhao Fuliang also moved into the courtyards of other people in the clan.
Time flies, and it has been the seventh day since the stop at the station.
It's still raining outside, but luckily, it's much lighter than before.
At this time, Zhao Fuxiang, who had been sitting at the door since breakfast, saw the faintly lit white in the sky, and his face, which had been gloomy for a long time, also showed a long-lost smile.
Because the rain had not stopped, Zhao Yu finally told the Li family about the possible flash flood.
Li Shi felt that there was a problem inside, and said it to Zhao Fuxiang.
Zhao Fuxiang understood the danger, and after informing the rest of the family, he turned around and told Zhao Furui again.
In the end, Zhao Furui and the others said that the place where they lived was very close to the mountains and forests, in case of accidents, they directly sent the young people in the team to patrol the surroundings every day every four hours, in order to be the possible flash flood.
Today it was Zhao Fuxiang's turn, Daddy Yuan and others, so after Zhao Fuxiang put on a poncho, he and Daddy Yuan, took Zhao Shanlin and others out of the courtyard together.
Seeing this, Li quickly beckoned the ladies of the family to make a fire, cut some fresh meat slices, washed mountain mushrooms and mushrooms, broke the eggs, and put some chili peppers, five-spice powder, pepper, etc.
Just wait for the patrol to come back, and each of them will drink a bowl to ward off the cold and warm his body.
As a result, not only did I not wait for people, but also waited for the sound of gongs and drums.
The Li family was excited, and hurriedly asked Zhao Shanyu to go out to take a look, and at the same time asked Liu and the others to hurry back to keep an eye on the children at home.
It didn't take long for Zhao Shanyu to run back from outside the door, and shouted as he ran, "It's flooding, it's flooding, mother, the Zhuangzi in front of me is flooding, most of the houses have collapsed, and people are buried, and the guys at the post station are calling the big guy to save people,"
Zhao Shanyu's movement was so disturbing that the people in the side room were alarmed.
Zhao Fusheng and Zhao Fujin, who were not on patrol, followed and showed their heads.
Zhao Shanyu didn't pay attention, and still shouted at the Li family, "Mother, Dad, they have already passed, I'll go over and take a look." ”
"Wait, you come back for me," Li was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Shanyu, "What are you going to, stay in the house honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”
After speaking, Li ignored Zhao Shanyu's stunned expression, slammed the door, and pushed the person directly into the room.
instructed Zhao Shanxing to look at the other party, and Li himself turned around and went to the two side houses next to him, and explained to Zhao Fusheng, Zhao Fujin, Yuan Lao Niang and other people who can call the shots in the family.
When he came back from his busy work and bolted the door, Li had time to gather everyone in the room.
Zhao Shanyu was still dizzy at this time, looking at Li, he was extremely puzzled, "Mother, why?" "Why don't you let him go, he can still find out the situation by the way.
Li Shi glared angrily, "Stupid, if something happens outside, then you have to be more careful if something happens at home at this time, you and Xiaosi are guarding at home, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”
"Patriarch's side?"
Li shook his head, "Don't worry, they know better than you do." ”
Sure enough, the other families, after getting the news again, also left young and strong laborers to guard at home, and only went to a few people to check the situation.
