The next morning, Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui rushed to Honghe Village, a border mountain village, with 12 poverty alleviation workers and six medical staff.

Government vehicles drove them to the foot of the hill, and they walked into the village as they did last time.

However, this time the weather was not beautiful, and as soon as I was halfway there, it began to rain heavily in the sky.

Everyone was carrying luggage and daily necessities, and the medical staff even carried a medicine box on their backs, unable to run and running, and had nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, everyone has a folding umbrella in their suitcase, otherwise they would have been drenched in soup.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the water was flowing down from the top of the mountain, and everyone struggled to climb the mountain.

Qiao Xin: "Let's hold on a little bit and try to go as fast as possible, this kind of rain can easily cause flash floods or mudslides. Very dangerous! ”

As soon as Qiao Xin finished speaking, a large stone rolled down in front of him.

"The stones are falling, everyone hurry up and get out of the way." Qiao Xin, who was walking in the front, turned around and shouted to everyone, but he forgot to dodge.

Xiao Rui's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly threw down the suitcase in his hand, rushed up and pulled her away.

The large boulder that rolled down just enough to stop the suitcase.

Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking that if they were crushed by this big stone, they would die or be crippled.

He Xiaoxiao said sarcastically: "Mayor Qiao, did you want to sacrifice yourself to save us just now?" ”

Qiao Xin ignored her, looked at the crushed suitcase and said to Xiao Rui, "Your clothes are dirty." ”

Xiao Rui said angrily: "Is clothing more important or is human life more important?" ”

The torrential rain continued to fall, and the rain washed down the path from the top of the mountain, and everyone had no choice but to find a place to take refuge.

Qiao Xin glanced at several tombs not far away, the tombs built here were different from other places, and a small hut was built on top of each grave, just like the one in which people lived.

"The rain is too heavy, and it's not safe for us to walk on the mountain paths, so let's find a place to take shelter first." Qiao Xin said.

He Xiaoxiao immediately scolded: "Didn't you just say that there is nowhere to hide?" Mayor Joe, I find you very capable. ”

Qiao Xin: "At this time and then, the rain is too heavy now, and it is likely to be a flash flood." ”

Everyone remembered that there was a flash flood in a village not long ago, and a poverty alleviation worker died in the line of duty, and they were immediately frightened, and asked Qiao Xin to take them to find a place to hide.

Qiao Xin struggled with how she was going to tell everyone that the place where she was going to shelter from the rain was a grave.

There were four or five graves in the col over there, and one grave could hold five or six people, just enough for so many of them to hide in.

Xiao Rui saw that Qiao Xin's expression was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Qiao Xin beckoned to him and asked him to lean his ear over.

"I'm telling you, I know there's a place to shelter from the rain, but it's a grave, can you go?"

Xiao Rui: "Go!" ”

Then he looked at everyone and said humorously: "Let's go to a mysterious place to take shelter from the rain, and don't say anything about what everyone sees." It's important to save your life! ”

Everyone said that it would be good to have a place to shelter from the rain.

However, when they entered the thatched hut and saw the graves, sacrifices, and dead people's things, they screamed in fright, blaming Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui for not telling them in advance.

Especially He Xiaoxiao, she was so frightened that she sat on the ground, but when she found out that she was sitting on the grave, she fainted directly.

Qiao Xin: "Actually, everyone doesn't have to be so afraid, building a house for the Yin people is our custom in the mountains, usually the villagers go up the mountain to chop firewood or herd cattle in the rainstorm will hide in, they are not afraid, and we are all highly educated people, why should we be feudal superstition and fear of ghosts and gods?" ”

Qiao Xin's words made everyone feel very ashamed, as a rural poverty alleviation worker, the first thing to do is to follow the customs.
