Chapter 227
The south has begun to continue farming, and the court has joined hands with the people to overcome their sorrows. The distribution of seeds and the distribution of livestock are registered. Taxes have also been cut by 10% to encourage land reclamation.
The south is in full swing planting, clearing wasteland, digging wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, catching insects, cutting grass, and feeding chickens and ducks. The days are busy and fulfilling.
And the north is not so lucky, it finally survived the heavy snow, and ushered in a thunderstorm, if it was last year, it was the heavens that opened their eyes, and now it is like a snowfall in June, which is even more miserable.
The weather warmed up, the snow melted, and a large amount of water evaporated into water, and it rained heavily. Within two days, flooding began on a large scale.
Fortunately, there is a precedent in the south, and all officials have some contingency plans. It was also the people who were very cooperative and responded to the call of the yamen. Brave the rain and move forward to the nearest highest punishment.
A wave of water, the water is retrograde. The water was behind them, engulfing them in a long way. They are all praying to the Dragon King, leave a way to live, and stop the rain quickly. Only when the rain stops can we have hope for life again.
It's a pity that the dragon king didn't hear the ghost crying wolf howl on the ground, and he was saddened.
The rain never stopped.
Huidong Town, Yishan Village:
The villagers are being organized in an orderly manner to drag their families and take care of them, and it is difficult to quickly occupy the high ground.
Due to the dredging of water canals in Yishan Village, the water flows rapidly, and there is no water flowing down the upper stream. But for the sake of their lives, they were also prepared to evacuate, first the old people and women, some young people opened the way, some stayed behind, carried food for them during the day, and had to return to the high ground at night.
Low-lying area, dare not stay.
The geographical location of Huidong Town is very frustrated, it is in a low position, and the rain has accumulated to the small feet for two consecutive days. Xie Xian ordered the whole town to be transferred immediately, and it took a day to quickly transfer the people.
According to the spies, the second day was over the knee, the third day was over the big feet, the fourth or fifth day was the end, and after seven or eight days there was no longer a low house. The disrepair has been completely submerged, and the refugee area is already a sea of water.
Clothing, household items, left behind have drifted on the water. Alpine is already sorrowful? Sky. The thunderstorm has already muffled the roar of the people.
The heavy rain fell for ten days and ten nights, and it took two days and two nights to finish. Everyone still didn't dare to go home for a long time, and although the rain didn't fall, it was still cloudy.
After staying in the mountains for three more days, the sun gradually saw the sky, and the sun shone before people came back one after another.
When I got home, I saw a mess, the left and the right collapsed, and the skylight was opened in the middle. The worst thing is that some come back, and the houses are gone, leaving piles of garbage and dirt.
That's when the howl is all over the place.
"God doesn't give me a way to live, my house ......"
"What should I do, where is my home......"
"It's gone! There's nothing left, what the hell are you going to do......"
Seeing that the homeland was in shambles, not to mention the women, even the pillars of the house were stained with blood. Is Heaven going to force them to death? It's not an exaggeration to say that everything is lost.
"Quiet, folks, folks, I understand your mood at the moment, and so do I. But natural disasters are merciless. As long as we have affection, all tribulations will eventually pass. Instead of complaining here, we should put away our sorrows. Pack up where you can live. Our home is still waiting to be rebuilt. ”
Xie Xianling saw that everyone's expressions were slowing down, and then he said: "Now go back to each house to see the direct loss, those who can live first clean up, and those who can't live look at the neighbors or acquaintances to make do with the fire first." Pack up all the garbage, load it, load it, and burn it in a unified manner. There are also dead domestic animals and animal carcasses, which are not allowed to be kept privately, but are to be burned. Don't leave anything to chance, and if you violate the order, you will be expelled from your town. After packing up, he went to the yamen to receive the liquor, washed the house, and sprinkled lime on every corner. The refugees will follow me to the yamen first. ”
Alas, there is a long way to go!
Yishan Village, because there is a reservoir on the top, the water volume above can be discharged, and the surrounding canals extend in all directions, and the drainage is excellent. The lowest-lying people don't have small feet.
After descending the mountain, I saw at a glance that the garbage was washed together. It was a mess, and everyone's hearts were groaning. rushed home.
Fortunately, there was a false alarm, and the flooding was submerged, but it did not cause any damage. The food at home is also registered in advance and stored together. In addition to being dirty and muddy. It really didn't cause any damage.
The only loss is the old Shen old house, how many houses have collapsed, and how many roofs have worn out? Outside. There were no major losses.
After doing a good job of hygiene, the same is to disinfect the spirits and then sprinkle lime in the corners. Finally, the brazier is lit and dried, which makes it look less damp and confused.
"The day is finally clear, and all suffering and calamity will be lifted through the dark clouds and seen the sky." Shen Mengshi sat in an open place, enjoying the baptism of sunshine. And the heart cleared.
"Milk, I want to see the previous home, this water has been in the water for so long, and I don't know how the home is?" It was the place where she grew up, she was happiest, and at the same time her hellish home.
"I'll go back with you, my grandmother hasn't been back for a long time, it's a pity." This thought was not a whim for her, but whenever she had this plan, something always tossed over there to chill her heart.
There are so many memories of that home. Now it's all a sad place for her memories.
"No, it's dirty and messy outside, and it's slippery and hard to walk."
"It's okay, I should go back too, it's not far away."
"Okay, then I'll hold you, the road is muddy and not easy to walk." The two took Mama Guan and went out. also met Shen Wu. was too busy to pull away, so he called two small guys to accompany him.
The old house has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one has lived in it for a long time. The water had just receded, and there were many things at home, so I had to arrange someone to accompany me.
The road was muddy and difficult to walk, and one by one the footprints were stepped on in the mud, with different shades.
The crowd stood in the only house in Yishan Village that had been damaged by the floods. The grandfather and grandson also felt a lot for a while. In the past, there were laughter and laughter, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and the smoke of the cooking stove was rising, and it was still yesterday to sit around. Now the old house they live in is dilapidated, and it can no longer provide shelter for their family.
Dilapidated, depressed, desolate.
The grandparents and grandchildren helped each other around, and they were also full of feelings in their hearts. People go, tea cools! People move, the house is ruined!
Shen Mengshi recalled the past, and was in a trance yesterday. Thinking about it, she was still a new bride, and she was nervous, leaving the home where she grew up, marrying into the Shen family, who had never met, and working to give birth to children. lost her husband at a young age, and her in-laws, who later regarded her as a daughter, also died one after another. She grew up alone with her eldest son. The four sons also became biological children one after another.
Looking back now, it seems that I have reached a hundred years old. Rich and glorious, but also a loving mother and a defeated son, and a brother is separated.
There are so many memories of her here. A sound of decay was kept in my heart, and I felt a lot.
The same is true for Shen Xue'er, this is the beginning of the dream, and it is also the fall of the dream demon, and it is also the time to wake up from the dream. It also carries her beautiful and unbearable past.
She had fled in the past, but now she was in a dilapidated house. I also feel deep in my heart, and I can't forget it for a long time.
Is it time for her home to be gone?
