On the way back to Yu's house, Yu Qiaoshan and a few people saw that many people in the village had gone to the Qingshui River, and some people shouted that the fields next to the Qingshui River had been flooded.

The ten acres of land that Yu Qiaoshan was allocated were very close to the river, and he said, "I'll go and have a look in the field." He hurried towards the Qingshui River.

Yu Zhixing was not injured much and followed.

Yu Qizhen helped Yu Mengshan, Yu Jiao and Yu Zhizhou to return to Yu's house first.

Seeing the miserable appearance of Yu Mengshan and Yu Zhizhou, Yu Ruhai hurriedly went to find medicine for bruises and injuries, and asked, "How is the third child?" How do you get started? ”

Yu Mengshan roughly talked about the things in the courtyard of the third room with Yu Ruhai, and went back to the house to change clothes.

As soon as Song finished cooking, he saw that Yu Mengshan was covered in mud, so he fetched hot water to help him scrub his body, and then wiped his prosthetic leg clean and helped him put it on.

Yu Ruhai rubbed medicine on the injured part of Yu Zhizhou's body, took a bottle of medicinal wine, asked Yu Zhizhou to change his clothes, and sent it to Yu Hanshan.

When Yu Zhizhou came back from delivering the medicinal wine, it happened that Yu Qiaoshan and Yu Zhixing also came back from the Qingshui River.

"Dad, is the field flooded badly?" The three of them entered the courtyard gate, and Yu Zhizhou asked.

Yu Qiaoshan's face was full of worry, and he said worriedly, "It's past my ankles, and the water can't be released." ”

The surrounding fields were filled with water, and the lowlands were full, and there was nowhere to drain the water from the fields.

Zhang and Song set up their meals in the hall, Yu Qiaoshan and Yu Zhixing changed their wet clothes, came to the hall and sat down, and talked sadly about the flooding of the fields.

Yu Mengshan comforted, "Big brother, my field is high, if you don't have any success in this field, you will be able to live by eating the grain in my field next year." ”

Yu Qiaoshan felt better in his heart, but listening to the sound of the rain outside, he was uneasy in his heart, and he really couldn't swallow it.

"Let's take one step at a time, if God doesn't want people to have a good time, the big guys can't get better, this year is a famine year." Yu Ruhai sighed, and said, "Rest early after eating, you have to save some food at home in the future, keep more rations, and if there is a famine in the future, you can withstand it for a while." ”

A room full of people agreed with this, in previous years, the rations were not enough, and they were saved like this.

Yu Jiao took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed it slowly, she had saved so much food, she would never let the Yu family go hungry, I was afraid that the flood would come and she would not be able to save her life.

In her short life span of more than 20 years, she had not experienced a flood.

After eating, they all went back to their respective rooms to rest, and the Song family did not do needlework anymore, thinking of danger in times of peace, for fear of spending money on candles.

In the middle of the night, lightning pierced the night, and thunder exploded, as if it would split on the roof at any moment.

Yu Jiao opened her eyes in the darkness and felt that the ground below her seemed to shake.

Yu Lingling, who was lying beside her, sat up in surprise and went to light the candlestick.

I don't know if it's damp, I can't blow it, Yu Jiao groped for it from the bedside of the clinic to find the fire fold that had been placed in the morning, and lit the candle when it was blown out.

The dim light lit up, Yu Ling's face turned white, and she said in horror, "Yu Jiao, are you awake too?" This thunder is terrifying. ”

Yu Jiao reached out and patted her on the back.

The voices of the Song couple came from outside, "Are you and Yu Jiao awake?" If you can't sleep, let's talk outside. ”

Song was worried that the two girls would be scared, so he wanted to accompany them.

Yu Lingling put on her coat and got out of bed to put on her shoes, "Yu Jiao, let's go outside to stay with my father and mother, I really can't sleep with this lightning and thunder." ”

Yu Jiao nodded, she also put on her clothes, and the two walked outside with candlesticks.

Yu Mengshan and Song also sat on the bed in their coats, and when they saw the two of them coming, Yu Mengshan got out of bed and put on his shoes, and said, "Go to bed quickly, you mothers and sisters will sleep together, and your father will guard you by the side." ”

Yu Lingling took off her shoes and pulled Yu Jiao to bed, and there was a flash outside the house again, and the white light pierced the window, making the room light up, followed by the thunder of the explosion.

Yu Fuling shrank into Song's arms, "Mother, this day is too scary." ”

The door of the inner room rang, and Yu Qiyu walked out of the inner room neatly dressed, with a touch of sleepiness on his face, and he should have been woken up by this successive thunderstorms.

"We haven't had such heavy rain in Changkui for decades." Yu Qiaoshan pulled a chair for Yu Qizhen and said loudly.

Yu Qizhen was about to sit down, when suddenly there was a muffled sound, not like thunder, as if there was a huge monster roaring in the distance.

Yu Jiao's face changed suddenly, she got up and got out of bed, and said quickly, "Put on your shoes quickly, let's go up the mountain, maybe the upstream has burst, and we are going to be flooded." ”

Song hurriedly got out of bed with Yu Fuling, and Yu Qiaoshan and Yu Qiyu hurriedly ran to call Yu Ruhai and his wife and the people in the big house.

In Shangrao Village, next to Qingyu Village, near the end of the river, a flood water nearly one meter high rushed up, and the surging water swept towards the ground, making a furious sound of waves crashing on the shore, approaching the whole village, shouting and raging, swallowing the nearest houses into the tumbling water.
