Chapter 335: After the Disaster
"Dad, mother, we're going back too." The courtyard that Yu Hanshan bought was already dilapidated, and he was afraid that the situation would not be too good, so after he finished speaking, he led Li Xiu'e and the Zhao family away.
The courtyard gate of the Yu family was wide open, the wall collapsed to a corner, and he waded into the courtyard with knee-high water, and Yu Ruhai asked Yu Qiaoshan to put him down.
There were a lot of debris floating in the water in the courtyard, the two chairs were crooked in the water, and the hut where Yu Jiao had just woken up had collapsed, and the other houses looked fine from the outside.
It's just that the house is in a mess, all the furnishings have been displaced, staggering, all the smaller objects are gone, and the good home has become this messy appearance, which is sad to look at.
It's just that these are nothing in comparison.
What's more important is the food at home, and Yu Ruhai and the others hurriedly went to the house where the grain was stacked in Fangshan.
The door of the house was also washed open by the flood, and several people entered the house with apprehension, looking at the piles of grain piled up in the house, but they were only washed away, the expression on Yu Ruhai's face relaxed, and Yu Qiaoshan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Where the roof used to leak, now a hole has been broken.
Yu Qiaoshan stepped forward, lifted the oily cotton paper stained with water, and touched it with his hand, his eyes lit up, "I touched it inside!" ”
Yu Ruhai also reached out and probed in, and he uncovered some of the oily tissue paper, the grain bag on the edge was wet, and the grain inside was not affected.
"Thanks to Meng Yatou, she remembered to use this oiled cotton paper to prevent moisture and saved a lot of food." Yu Qiaoshan said happily.
"Hurry up and cover it, I don't know when it will be sunny this day, and get some water in the house." Yu Ru Haidao.
There is still food at home, which is enough to reassure people.
The Yu family is lucky, in comparison, those old houses collapsed are much more miserable, the house is gone, there is nothing.
Many people sat in front of the houses that had collapsed into ruins, and the crying spread throughout the village, causing people to feel uncomfortable.
At present, the most important thing is to release the water in the village first, since Yu Qiaoshan has become a lizheng, he has to think about the people in the village, but how to drain the water is a problem.
The people of the big house and the second room went to clean up the house, Yu Qiaoshan found a shovel and went around the village, and when he walked to the end of the village, he found that the water of the Qingshui River had decreased a lot, and the drainage of the Lanshu Canal had an effect, and the water of the river flowed westward.
He went back to the village and called some able-bodied young men to dig ditches in front of each house and release water at the foot of the mountain.
The men were busy digging ditches to drain the water, and the women were tidying up their houses at home.
They worked timidly until it was dark, and there was no smoke in the village, and the men returned home with shovels and hoes, and every family was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.
The water drained a lot to the bottom of the mountain, but it flowed very slowly.
The bed was wet, the bedding and clothes in the cabinet were also wet, and even water could be wrung out when brought out, and there was no dry wood to ignite, so it was destined to be a sleepless night.
We sat together and got through this difficult night, and the next day, the sky finally cleared.
Looking at the slowly rising sun in the east, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the sun shone on their bodies, as if they felt a new life, and could dispel the chill in people's hearts.
The water in the village also receded, and a thick layer of silt accumulated on the ground, and a foot on it was a deep footprint.
Qingyan Mountain is still majestic and verdant in the sun, as if nothing has happened.
But the mess in the village is all traces of the aftermath of the flood.
