Chapter 108: Dragon Boat Water
There is a lot of rain around the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is a heavy rainstorm every afternoon, thunder and lightning, violent storms, but fortunately, it does not last long, and it does not affect the dragon boat race.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone got up at dawn, Miao Xirui urged everyone to set off after breakfast and take a good position, Ziyan and Zhanbo were extremely enthusiastic, and Zhu Yuanyuan was infected by them and became looking forward to it.
Everyone thought it was early enough, but they didn't expect to see a dense flow of people as soon as they went out, everyone was excited, Zhu Yuanyuan was infected and began to get excited.
No wonder you have to walk, there are so many people on the road, and the carriage is not able to move an inch at all.
Afraid of being dispersed by the flow of people, Zhou Yuerong asked the guards to carry Zi Yan and Zhanbo away, everyone followed the flow of people, and walked to the riverside, where the shore was already crowded with people, and it was crowded.
The guards of the Han family and the Miao family protected a group of women and children in the middle, and Han Shaoyuan followed Zhu Yuanyuan, blocking the squeeze of the flow of people for her, so no matter how crowded the people were, they also walked easily.
Although Zhu Yuanyuan still didn't want to deal with Han Shaoyuan, he used his tall body to block the flow of people for her and keep her from being squeezed and impacted, and she was very useful.
Han Shaoyuan's handsome face was serious and vigilantly scanned around, he did not forget that Zhu Yuanyuan was the target of some people, and always paid attention to the people who appeared around Zhu.
It feels good to be protected, the corners of Zhu Yuanyuan's mouth are raised, and she is complacent in her heart.
There were too many people, and I walked downstream along the shore, trying to find a spacious position, but I didn't find a place, but I saw a VIP area.
There is no one in this deliberately vacated VIP area, tables and chairs have been set up, and there are officials to maintain order.
Miao Xirui quietly muttered to Zhu Yuanyuan, "Alas, it's a pity that it's not in Pingyuan County, otherwise we would have a place." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan laughed.
Miao Xirui's father is the head of Pingyuan County, and of course she has a certain amount of power in Pingyuan County, so she is a pity.
The voices were noisy, but Mrs. Miao didn't hear it, otherwise Miao Xirui would have been scolded again.
Next to the VIP area are the rowers of the dragon boat, wearing the clothes of their respective teams, with cloth scarves of the same color tied on their heads, all of them are sturdy, showing thick arms, and their faces are dark and dark, everyone is high-spirited and slightly nervous to prepare.
Further down, I finally found my place.
The wide river surface is undulating, the water is as muddy as muddy water, and the surface of the river is less than two meters from the shore.
"The river is rising so much." Zhou Yuerong frowned slightly, and her eyes showed a touch of sorrow.
"I'm afraid it's going to be a big flood this year." Mrs. Miao's eyes were slightly downcast, "Tomorrow Rui'er and I will go back first, will you play for two more days?" ”
"No, I'm going back to make some preparations, let's go together." Zhou Yuerong replied affirmatively.
"Are you afraid of flooding?" Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly interjected.
"yes, once the flood breaks the levee, it's serious." Mrs. Miao was worried, "There have been frequent rainstorms recently, but the river in Pingyuan County was not so high when we came, and I didn't know that the river water here had risen so much. ”
Mrs. Miao and Zhou Yuerong had something on their minds, and their interest in watching the dragon boat race was not so high, only Miao Xirui, Zi Yan, and Zhanbo were so excited that they shouted excitedly.
At the beginning of the game, the drums shook the sky, and the applause on the shore was thunderous, shouting and shouting, cheering, applause and gongs and drums sounded together.
Zhu Yuanyuan watched the dragon boat rowing while pondering, her home is by the river, although there is a dike, but if the flood breaks the dike, it will be over.
Zhu Yuanyuan has never experienced floods in modern times, but she has watched TV news and similar disaster movies, and the scenes are tearful.
Now you have to think about it, where to live, what to eat, and be prepared if your house is flooded.
The dragon boat race was not over until the afternoon, if it weren't for the high interest of a few children, it was rare to come to see a dragon boat race, and if I didn't want to ruin their interest, Zhou Yuerong wouldn't be able to stay.
In the past few years, she has been busy with family affairs, and she doesn't have much time to play with her children, and she feels sorry in her heart, but Zhou Yuerong tries her best to satisfy them.
Mrs. Miao's expression became more and more solemn, after the dragon boat race, the river gradually stabilized, she noticed that in the morning, the river water rose significantly, about a foot, this rise was too shocking to her.
Huichuan City is at the junction of Thirteen Bay and Yujiang River, and the two rivers converge to form a large river, the source river.
The dragon boat race is at the end of the thirteen bays, the river is wide, much wider than the river section of Pingyuan County, and it also flows into the wider source river, so it still rises at a visible speed, and the narrow river section of Pingyuan County will only rise more and faster.
Han Shaoyuan was only vigilant about the safety of his surroundings, and did not pay attention to the river, he lived in Pingyuan County, floods are a common thing for the people along the coast, as long as the embankment is high and thick enough, generally speaking, they can survive safely.
Mrs. Miao was not at ease, and she couldn't wait to go back, "No, I want to go back immediately, I don't know what happened at home, I'm not worried, I want to go back immediately." ”
Zhou Yuerong was also worried, and when she heard this, she said, "Then let's clean up, leave immediately, and let's go back together." ”
"Then hurry up, or buy some snacks to eat on the way, or I'm afraid I won't be able to close the city gate in time." Mrs. Miao was in a hurry, pulling Miao Xirui and striding away, Miao Xirui didn't know what was going on, but seeing that Zhou Yuerong and Zhu Yuanyuan seemed to be in a hurry, she didn't resist, just asked why.
On the way, Mrs. Miao and Zhou Yuerong explained, and everyone knew the seriousness of the matter.
Fortunately, we didn't have much luggage, and we had enough people, so I bought some buns and snacks on the way back, and went back to collect a little before we set off.
Because of the hurry, the carriage ran very fast, Zhu Yuanyuan was afraid of vomiting, so she didn't eat enough, she only ate a bun and didn't eat it, there was no rest on the road, not to mention that Zhu Yuanyuan was dizzy and swollen, her five organs were churning, and other people also felt uncomfortable.
Hurried all the way, and finally entered Pingyuan County from the North City Gate in the evening, Miao Xirui's mother and daughter, Zhou Yuerong went home separately, and Zhu Yuanyuan also took advantage of the city gate to rush back to Zhu's house out of the East City Gate.
After Han Shaoyuan sent Zhu Yuanyuan home, he went back to Han's house, the terrain of Pingyuan County is relatively low, he wants to see how the water situation is now, so he can prepare early.
When she got home, Zhu Yuanyuan was already cowardly, so weak that she couldn't even walk, couldn't eat, and wanted to vomit when she smelled it.
Du Juan and Begonia thought she was sick, but Zhu Yuanyuan said that the road was too bumpy and she was stunned by the carriage, so they were relieved.
Zhu Yuanyuan drank a cup of sour plum soup, suppressed the feeling of nausea, and fell asleep in a daze.
When Zhu Yuanyuan woke up, it was already the second watch, and when she came together, she shouted that she was hungry, and Du Juan immediately asked Cuihua to make a bowl of hot and sour beef noodles, and Zhu Yuanyuan was comfortable when she was full.
At this time, Zhu Yuanyuan remembered what was going on, "By the way, I saw that the river was rising so hard in Huichuan City that it was almost on the embankment, how is the situation here?" ”
